. Botanical and vegetation survey of Carter County, Montana, Bureau of Land Management-administered lands . Botany; Rare plants. Montana distribution: Carter and Richland counties. Carter County distribution: One population was located in 1996 by Keith Dueholm on the Custer National Forest in the Ekalaka Hills. Solidago ptarmicoides Prairie Aster. May 1998 HABITAT: Habitat throughout its range is described as iopen, drying prairies, often on limestone bluffs, or sandy areasi(Great Plains Flora Association 1986). In South Dakota it is reported as icommon in dry prairie and open woods over the statei (Van Bruggen 1985) and in Wyoming it is reported from iprairie hills, and open woodsi (Dom 1992). It occurs on south-facing ridge slopes overlying limestone in Harding Co., SD but has not been found to date on the most similar local habitat on Chalk Butte (Heidel and Dueholm 1995). The occurrence in the Ekalaka Hills was in partial shade of ponderosa pine {Pinus ponderosa) on a dry ridge above an escarpment. The soil was a sandy loam with sandstone parent material, and Missouri goldenrod {Solidago missouriensis) was an associate. SPECIES BIOLOGY: Prairie aster is a long-lived perennial with a deep root system. It does not have a rhizome like many other Solidago so it is widely-scattered rather than occurring in dense patches. Population size estimates are not available for either of the Montana occurrences. OTHER COMMENTS: There is no evidence to indicate that it likely to occur on BLM-administered lands in the state. Therefore, no BLM status is recommended. 107.
