It is locally common on the rocky talus slopes of Fields Creek watershed. Graywacke of the Fields Creek Formation - most common. Serpentinite of Fields Creek - scarce. The species is clearly visible in satellite imagery as small white-pale green patches on open, steep talus slopes (rust-brown color) of Field Creek watershed, especially north and south of Fields Peak.
