Taxonomic CommentsAnticlea mogollonensis is reinstated by Zomlefer and Judd (2002) to allow for a "revised, practical taxonomy that defines monophyletic groups and reflects phylogenetic relationships." The treatment in FNA (Schwartz 2002) recognizes the taxon as Zigadenus mogollonensis.

Rank ReasonsZigadenus mogollonensis is endemic to southwestern New Mexico (U.S.A.) and known only from the mixed conifer and spruce-fir forests of the Mogollon Mountains between 2650 and 3200 meters in elevation. There are only two know occurrences, much of which were burned by forest fires in 2012. Monitoring post-fire will be important to document the species and habitat recovery and to document the species response to an altered habitat.
Range Extent CommentsZigadenus mogollonensis is restricted to the vicinity of White Water Baldy and adjacent peaks in the Mogollon Mountains of southwestern New Mexico (U.S.A.).
Threat Impact CommentsMost sites were severely burned in 2012, and persistence of the species in this highly altered habitat, and possibly unsuitable habitat, is uncertain. Plants of this species survived the fires but the canopy was removed.
