Discussion

Neoholmgrenia hilgardii is probably self-compatible but outcrossing. The species occasionally grows sympatrically with N. andina (P. H. Raven 1969). It is known from Chelan, Douglas, Grant, Kittitas, Okanagan, and Yakima counties, Washington. The species was collected twice along the lower Columbia River, at Bingen, Klickitat County, Washington, and Hayden Island, Multnomah County, Oregon.
