Occurs on steep hillsides, in rocky and/or disturbed habitats, including roadsides, in Rocky Mountain montane coniferous forest, and in pinyon-juniper woodland (Sivinshi and Lightfoot 1994; Bleakly 2009). Does well in open, moderately disturbed areas.

United States
Rounded National Status Rank: N2 - Imperiled
Rounded Global Status Rank: G2 - Imperiled
Reasons: Endemic to mountains of south central New Mexico. Only about seven occurrences are documented even though surveys for this species have been done. May be threatened by development, grazing, and competition with encroaching plants.
Degree of Threat: High - medium
Comments: Development is a threat particularly in the Cloudcroft area (New Mexico Native Plant Protection Advisory Committee 1984). Livestock grazing may also be a threat (New Mexico Native Plant Protection Advisory Committee 1984). Does not compete well with other vegetation (Bleakly 2009). The effects of fire are unknown (Bleakly 2009).
