Summary[edit]

Description

gauge plant, Senecio integerrimus var. exaltatus, California, White Mountains, Cottonwood Basin, Fishlake Valley drainage, elevation 3051 m (10010 ft).

This species is widespread in mesic to wet sites throughout the mountains and high plains of the western United States and southwestern Canada, up to 3600 meters (12000 feet) elevation. Here in the White Mountains it is near the southwest edge of its range.

Livestock operators sometimes used the onset of flowering in this species to "gauge" when the range was ready for grazing. Ironically, gauge plant itself is toxic to livestock.
