--><p><i>Balsamorhiza macrolepis</i> grows in the western foothills of central Sierra <i>Nevada</i> and in the eastern San Francisco Bay area (there mostly extirpated). The tall habit, exhibiting gigas characteristics, suggests that, like <i>B. macrophylla</i>, this taxon may be a polyploid. No hybrids with other species have been noted.</p>
