Location
This plant was observed along trails in the forested section of Powell Butte Nature Park. It may have been along other trails but I observed it along the Elderberry trail, the Cedar Grove Trail, and the South Trail. Mostly it was seen within a few feet of the trail edge but in one location it spread back 15 feet from the trail. It may have been along other trails that I did not hike. As I did not leave the trail, I don't know if it my have been further into the woods. There were numerous plants widely spread along the trail.
