Threats or limiting factors
Collection of plants and seeds by rock garden enthusiasts is a significant threat (USFWS 2004), especially because the plants produce few seeds and international trade is not controlled by CITES; however, many of the subpopulations are in relatively inaccessible places where collecting is unlikely (USFWS 2004). Potential highway widening may affect some areas (USFWS 2004). Former threats from sand mining and sandstone quarrying would now be inconsistent with the species' interagency Conservation Agreement and Strategy. [Also based on comments in USFWS 2006 and Fertig 2009 in UNPS Sego Lily].
