Rank Reasons
Fritillaria agrestis is endemic to California and known from Alameda, Contra Costa, Fresno, Kern, Mendocino, Monterey, Mariposa, Placer, Sacramento, Santa Barbara, San Benito, San Luis Obispo, Stanislaus, Tuolumne and Ventura counties. It is extirpated from Santa Cruz and San Mateo counties (CNPS 2001). While F. agrestis is considered rare, it is distributed widely enough and found in sufficient numbers such that the potential for extinction is currently low (CNPS 2001). F. agrestis, is however, threatened by development (CNPS 2001). Finally, F. agrestis is found in chaparral, cismontane woodland, pinyon and juniper woodland, valley and foothill grassland on clay and sometimes serpentine between 10 and 1555 meters in elevation (CNPS 2001).
Threat Impact Comments
Fritillaria agrestis is threatened by development (CNPS 2001).
