[4] Cymopterus glomeratus are found in a large variety of environments, ranging from southern Canada to south-western North America to northern Mexico.

They are generally specifically found in northern Chihuahua, Mexico, to Oklahoma and Texas in the United States, and southern Alberta, Saskatchewan, Canada.

They also create peduncles which are stems which support the inflorescences, clusters of small flowers.

They have clusters, or inflorescences, of small flowers which are generally three different colors; white, yellow, and purple.

These plants have schizocarp fruits, which are split into two flat and wide parts which contain a seed on both sides.
