United States, Wisconsin, Vernon, I have spent 4 days this summer inspecting Kickapoo [River] cliffs from LaFarge N to Wildcat Mountain State Park & this is the only patch I found
T14N R02W sec22 NW4SE4;
About 100 plants, with Arisaema triphyllum, Aralia racemosa, Cystopteris bulbifera, Glechoma hederacea, Dryopteris phegopteris along ledge and on steep N facing sandstone cliff, ca. 15ft above river. BER1978. Very rare in area; fls blue being pollinated by small bumblebees which were just about right size to force their way into hood. Bees had sacks of pollen on hind legs, but not sure they were gathering pollen or nectar from flowers. Sheet 3 of 5.
