About

Polemonium brandegeei, commonly pale sky pilot or honey skypilot, is a plant species in the phlox family.

Where it grows

Pale sky pilot is native to five western US states, New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, and South Dakota. In New Mexico it grows in just three northern counties, Bernalillo, Sandoval, and Taos. It grows throughout the mountains of Colorado and into Wyoming to Big Horn County in the north of the state. A single specimen was collected from the Tushar Mountains in Piute County, Utah, but it has not been spotted since and might be locally extinct. It is only found in the Black Hills in South Dakota on granite outcrops. It grows at elevations of 3,050 to 4,115 meters (10,000–13,500 ft).
