It is found in the central and southern Sierra Nevada mountains in California and Nevada, growing up to 12,900 feet in the alpine zone. It has short, leafy stems and hairy, spoon-shaped leaves. The white flowers are less than 1/5 inch wide and the fruits, called nutlets, are wrinkled and ovate, but smoother than those of its relative, Cryptantha humilis.
