Threats or limiting factors
The main threats are from habitat degradation due to grazing, drought, and road maintenance.
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.
Many occurrences are within grazing allotments. Occurrences near roads and trails may be impacted by maintenance. Drought and climate change is also a threat and likely impacting this species through out it's range (Wrobleski, 2023).
