    Class B noxious weed in Washington state (do not allow to spread). Found in moist places on both sides of the mountains, from British Columbia to Washington, and east to Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming. Introduced from Europe. It is unpalatable to mammals and out-competes native forage. Hand pull or dig out.
