Species range
Estimate from download of data from Utah Rare Plant Database on July 18, 2024.<br/>Geocat 14 observations: Extent of Occurrence: 13,499.570 km2.<br/>Historic observations over 40 years old were not used.<br/><br/>Moist areas at 2620 to 2810 m in Beaver and Duchesne cos., and from Cedar Mt., Iron Co., and the Pine Valley Mts., Washington Co.; Ariz. and Calif., north to Wash. and Ida.(Welsh et al. 2015).
Threats or limiting factors
The main threats are from habitat degradation due to grazing, fire, drought, recreation and road/trail maintenance. <br/>Threats compiled using observations and notes from Utah Rare Plant Database and Utah Geospatial Resource Center GIS Data downloaded in 2024. Severity of impacts are not well known so ranges are provided where appropriate.<br/>Almost all occurrences are within grazing allotments. Almost all occurrences in the Uinta Mountains are in mountain goat habitat. All occurrences in Washington, Beaver and Iron counties are in burned areas of forest. Drought and climate change is also a threat and likely impacting this species through out it's range (Wrobleski, 2023).Recreational use of habitat, such as foot traffic, dispersed camping and OHV related activities, may pose a threat to some populations throughout its range. As the human population grows in areas within easy access to habitat and as recreational use increases, the impacts may become substantially more significant. <br/>
