Range Extent250-20,000 square km (about 100-8000 square miles)
Number of Occurrences21 - 80
Rank ReasonsThe range for this species is limited to a small portion of southern Oregon and adjacent northern California. Threats appear to be minimal, but Oregon's largest population on Mt. Ashland is potentially threatened by the expansion of a ski recreation area.
Range Extent CommentsThis species is found in Trinity and Siskiyou Counties of northern California and Jackson and Josephine Counties of southern Oregon.
Occurrences CommentsIn Oregon, five occurrences have been reported. California Natural Diversity Data Base does not actively track this species but has assigned an in-state grade of "C" (21-100 occurrences).
Threat Impact CommentsOregon's largest population is on Mt. Ashland, where a ski development is located. Expansion may pose a threat for this particular population. No major threats have been noted for the California sites.
