Collection notes
Collected seven individual plants (CJR4454.1--4454.7), and silica dried a subsample from each, plus made a "misc." sheet of orphan plants. Compared with the recent Lemhi County (Idaho) collections that I made, these plants had small tubers that were hard to find (they were deep, and the stems broke away from them easily).
