Abstract

Bigseed biscuitroot is a widespread western species, ranging from southern British Columbia to southeastern Manitoba and south to California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, and South Dakota (Fig. 8 – note this figure includes historic and contemporary herbarium records) (Currah et al. 1983; Lesica 2012; Welsh et al. 2016). In Washington and Oregon, it is much more common east of the Cascade Range (Baker 1956; Hitchcock et al. 1961). In California, it occurs as far south as Kern and San Luis Obispo Counties (Munz and Keck 1973).
