Senecio franciscanus Habitat Alpine tundra above southwestern spruce-fir or bristlecone pine forests on talus slopes above 10,900' elevation. Flowers Flower heads (clusters) are 0.89-1.3 cm (0.35-0.5 in) wide and are composed of 1-6 yellow-gold flowers. Description dwarf alpine species 3.1-10.2 cm (1.2-4.0 in) tall. Leaves are deeply lobed, with upper leaves smaller than lower leaves. Flower Season Judging by the summers of 2009, 2010, and 2011, this species begins to flower in very late July and early August, and peaks in middle to late August, before forming seed heads. This is after the typical Avens bloom which peaks in early to middle July. Comments Threatened species. Threats include trampling by hikers, trail building, and ski area development. Source: US Fish & Wildlife Service It colonizes stable scree areas and is often found right on the trail. Look for it along the upper reaches of the Weatherford Trail and the Humphrey Summit Trail. This area is off limits without snowpack. |
