The area encompasses the “Greater Beartooth Area” (Park County, Wyoming; Carbon, Gallatin, Park, Stillwater, and Sweetgrass counties, Montana) for a total of 5,100 mi2 ranging in elevation from 4,500 to 12,799 feet. Collected were 12,520 specimens. Funding is provided by the Custer, Gallatin, and Shoshone National Forests, Dr. Thomas Ford (Aven Nelson Fellowship in Systematic Botany), and the University of Wyoming.
