This species first appeared in this locality in 1895, at the bottom of a newly excavated railroad cut. Had the seeds been buried and dormant? (Nuttall, 1837). Morris says: "I should say, no. This species was common with and near ly as abundant as the next throughout the above mentioned counties. It is probable that the newly excavated cut proved, perhaps unusually suitable for the germination of scatter ing seeds." A. divaricata Raf. Wyoming: near Baileysville (Morris 125 pt.).
