Collected at the same location by Noel Holmgren in 1986. Despite the notation on the label, this is a plant that has in fact escaped and is present in numerous places in the valley no doubt because of its historical use in landscapes. I have found it at Wheeler Farm (Murray), on three corners adjoining 9th East and Van Winkle also in Murray, at Woodstock Meadows Park (Murray), and worst of all, it occurs throughout Big Cottonwood East Park (Millcreek) in shady areas where it has become highly invasive; these are all in addition to places in downtown Salt Lake City and including the Hogle Zoo and no doubt other locations.
