Ok... I realize that P. vulgaris is a very common species, but I still have a
question. How far south does its range go in the N. E. USA? the farthest
south I read is Smugglers Notch in Vermont at about 700m. Is it considered
an alpine plant here? There are also a few unconfirmed reports of Ithaca,
New York. I am wondering how extensive the studies have been in this (here)
general area.

2. Would it be possible to find P. villosa on top of Mt. Washington in Hew
Hampshire. This mountain although only about 2000m high is considered to
have an arctic climate. The reason I am wondering is because P. alpina is
supposed to grow at sea level in Scandinavia and then in populations in the
alps and pyrenees.

just a few random thoughts...BTW, I will be driving through Smugglers Notch
next week. Anyone have any more accurate locality data than what Casper
gives?
