In the Death Valley Region, Mary DeDecker (1984) states that Swertia albomarginata is found in the Last Chance Range, and in particular on Dry Mountain.

I have found only one collection. There may be others, however, in the Death Valley herbarium, and in regional herbaria such as UNLV.

My own collection (#266, 10/7/2000) was made on the top of the ridge about 1 1/2 miles southeast of Last Chance Mountain. Here the species was found in open places on stony limestone-derived soil among pinyons and small shrubs.
