Threat ImpactLow
Range Extent1000-5000 square km (about 400-2000 square miles)
Number of Occurrences21 - 80
Rank Reasons
Known only from northeast Oregon and southeast Washington. More of the population occurs in Oregon. Disturbance appears to enhance populations.
Range Extent Comments
Blue Mountains of northeast Oregon and southeast Washington.
Occurrences Comments
In Oregon, 44 occurrences as of 4/2016 (S. Vrilakas, pers. comm., 2016).
Threat Impact Comments
In Oregon, disturbance appears to enhance populations and threats are low; the species increases with disturbance such as road/powerline construction and grazing (Urban, pers. comm., 1989; S. Vrilakas, pers. comm., 2016). In Washington, threats include agricultural development, grazing, and herbicides; "Timber harvest may provide a temporary increase in habitat suitability, but associated ground distrubance may be detrimental to individual plants" (Camp and Gamon 2011).
