Rank Reasons
Argemone munita is an herbaceous plant occurring in the western United States and northwestern Mexico. With a large range extent, over 1,000 occurrences, abundant habitat, and no obvious intrinsic vulnerabilities, this species is considered secure.
Range Extent Comments
Argemone munita occurs in the western United States (Arizona, California, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Utah) and northwestern Mexico (Baja California and possibly elsewhere) (FNA 1997, Villaseñor 2016). Range extent was estimated using herbarium specimens and photo-based observations documented between 1982 and 2023 (GBIF 2023, iNaturalist 2023).
Occurrences Comments
By applying a 1 km separation distance to herbarium specimens and photo-based observations documented between 1992 and 2023, it is estimated that there are over 1,000 occurrences rangewide (GBIF 2023, iNaturalist 2023).
