--><p><i>Dodecatheon utahense</i> is known only from from both sides of the road at Moss Ledge in Big Cottonwood Canyon and from the Lake Blance area, Salt Lake County. The plants can have a narrow caudex to which long trailing leaves and roots are attached, the plants often hanging from steep canyon walls. Other plants tend to occur in the cracks of the rocks on a compact caudex; these plants usually are upright and tend to be much shorter (to 20 cm) compared to the hanging plants.</p>
