It is native to North America, where it is known from southern Alberta and Saskatchewan through a section of the central United States toward the desert southwest in California, Arizona, and New Mexico. It can be found in several types of habitat, including sandy and scrubby desert regions and sagebrush. ==Description== ''Tripterocalyx micranthus'' is erect and branched but generally compact, its hairy, glandular stem reaching a maximum length near 60 centimeters. The stem is red in color and sticky in texture. Each leaf has a fleshy, hairy green blade up to 6 centimeters long which is borne on a long petiole.
