Threats or limiting factors
The primary threat at this time is considered to be oil and gas development. Occurs on substrates designated as a priority for oil shale and tar sand development. Plants occur on private land and BLM with no special protection status. The plants occur within an area of developed and expanding oil and gas fields with several wells and access roads; additional potential threats include off-road vehicle use and grazing. It is unknown at this time how climate change and increase average temp and drought will impact this species.
