 Volume containing live leaves.
May 2003: Yellow 28 first attracted my attention because it is shaded by an Opuntia acanthocarpa. It reached it's maximum size in the El Niņo year of 1998. Since then its leaves have been smaller, and now it competes with three Eriogonum fasciculatum.

Species Lists: Salvia dorrii
In her Flora of the Northern Mojave Desert, DeDecker (1984) notes that var. dorrii is common and widespread, expecially on non-calcareous soils, up to 10,000 ft. Her 1991 account (DeDecker, 1991) notes that var. dorrii occurs in dry places, mostly on granitic or volcanic rocks, in desert scrub to subalpine zones, 4,000 - 10,500 ft (1,220 - 3,201 m).

Literature Cited:
In Flora of the Northern Mojave Desert, DeDecker (1984) notes that plants in limestone mountains appear to be var. clokey and are found from 4,400 to 9,500 feet elevation. DeDecker's (1991) chapter in Flora of the White-Inyo Range notes that var. clokeyi is found on dry, calcareous slopes and flats, in desert scrub to subalpine zones, 6,000 - 10,000 ft (1,829 - 3049 m).
|

Literature Cited:
In Utah, the species is found in Creosote bush, Joshua tree, blackbrush, shadscale, sagebrush, mountain brush, and pinyon-juniper communityes at 830-2350 m in Beaver, Iron, Juab, Kane, Millard, Tooele and Washington counties (Welsh, et al. 1987).
