[americansouthwest.net] Habitat, Morphology: Eremogone kingii is a high elevation species, found in most mountainous areas of the West, up to elevations of 13,000 feet or more. Like most such species, plants are low-growing, only around six inches high, and the leaves are small - needle like, forming tufts at the base and along the stems. Stems may be hairless or (more usually) covered by short, glandular hairs. (link added by Mary Ann Machi)
