Range Extent Comments
Allenrolfea occidentalis is known from Oregon and Idaho, south to Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, and Mexico, including in Baja California and Sonora (Flora of North America Editorial Committee 2003, SEINet 2023). Range extent was estimated using herbarium specimens and NatureServe Network occurrence data collected between 1992 and 2023 (GBIF 2023, iNaturalist 2023, SEINet 2023).
Occurrences Comments
Based on NatureServe Network occurrence data, herbarium records, and photo-based observations documented between 1992 and 2023, there are over 300 occurrences rangewide (GBIF 2023, iNaturalist 2023, SEINet 2023).
Threat Impact Comments
In Oregon, there have been incidences of negative impacts from off-road vehicles (NatureServe 2023). Threats are not documented in most parts of the range of this species.
