GENERAL DISTRIBUTION:

Rubber rabbitbrush is widely distributed west of the 100th meridian in North America [67]. It occurs from southern British Columbia through Saskatchewan, south through the Great Plains to northern Mexico, and west to the Pacific Ocean [20,55,76]. Distribution of several subspecies of Chrysothamnus nauseosus is as follows [4,7,21,81,109]:

C. n. ssp. albicaulis - common in the Intermountain Region. It extends from California and British Columbia eastward through parts of Nevada, Idaho, and Utah into Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana

C. n. ssp. arenarius - southern Utah to northern Arizona and northwestern New Mexico

C. n. ssp. bigelovii - west and south of the Four Corners area including parts of Arizona, New Mexico, and Colorado

C. n. ssp. consimilis - common in the Great Basin; extending from northern Mexico through parts of California northward into Oregon and eastward to New Mexico, Utah, Montana and Wyoming

C. n. ssp. glareous - northeastern Utah

C. n. ssp. graveolens - common in the Intermountain Region and parts of the northern Great Plains; extending from Arizona and New Mexico northward to Montana and Canada and eastward into the Great Plains

C. n. ssp. hololeucus - common in the Great Basin and the Great Plains and extending from California northward to Oregon and Idaho and eastward into Arizona and Utah

C. n. ssp. iridis - parts of Utah

C. n. ssp. junceus - southern Utah to southwestern Colorado and northern Arizona

C. n. ssp. leiospermus - occurs in parts of California and Nevada and extends eastward into Utah and northern Arizona

C. n. ssp. mohavensis - occurs from southern California to Nevada

C. n. ssp. nauseosus - extends from the western edge of the Great Plains northward to Canada and southward into Colorado and the Dakotas

C. n. ssp. oreophilius -common in the Intermountain Region

C. n. ssp. salicifolius - common in the Intermountain Region

C. n. ssp. turbinatus - occurs in the Breat and Uinta basins of Utah and on the Colorado Plateau

C. n. ssp. washoensis - Great Basin of northeastern California and northwestern Nevada

C. n. ssp. uintahensis - local to Unitah and Daggett counties, Utah

HABITAT TYPES AND PLANT COMMUNITIES:

Rubber rabbitbrush occurs as a dominant to minor component in many types of plant communities [96]. It grows in openings in sagebrush (Artemisia spp.), pinyon-juniper (Pinus-Juniperus spp.), and ponderosa pine (P. ponderosa) stands [142]. It also grows in mixed conifer forests of California with Jeffrey pine (P. jeffreyii), white fir (Abies concolor), and sugar pine (P. lambertiana) and in salt deserts with species such as greasewood (Sarcobatus spp.) and saltbush (Atriplex spp.). Mountain rubber rabbitbrush (Chrysothamnus nauseosus ssp. salicifolius) grows on relatively mesic sites and occurs with mountain big sagebrush (A. tridentata) and quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides) [81,137].
