Mountain marsh larkspur, Delphinium polycladon (39574173032)

Description:

Summary[edit] Description: mountain marsh larkspur, Delphinium polycladon, California, White Mountains, Cottonwood Basin, Poison Creek, Fishlake Valley drainage, elevation 3031 m (9945 ft). Mountain marsh larkspur is a regional endemic, found mostly in the central Sierra Nevada of California between Lake Tahoe and Mount Whitney, but extending shortly into adjacent areas, and eastward to the White and Inyo Mountains of eastern California, and the Wassuk range of west-central Nevada. It is locally common within this range. As its common name suggests, the species likes to have its feet wet, and and prefers higher mountain wetlands between 2200 and 3600 meters (7200-12000 feet). Here in the White Mountains it is almost exclusively subalpine, and a good indicator of permanent water. Date: 28 July 2016, 10:57. Source: mountain marsh larkspur, Delphinium polycladon.
