Plants of Erigeron clokeyi, Haplopappus apargioides, Chamaebatiaria millefolium, and Encelia californica were grown at elevations of 1,250 and 3,094 m for at least 4 weeks in the White Mountains of California. During this period the photosynthetic temperature response was different at the two elevations. However, there was no apparent photosynthetic acclimation to differences in the CO 2 tensions of the two growth environments.
