Rank Reasons

Endemic to California, Ericameria gilmanii is known from Inyo and Kern Counties. There are six known EO's, and only 1 has been seen in the past 20 years. All occur on public lands (mostly NPS, 1 on USFS, 1 on BLM) and may receive some protection from this. Threats are mostly unknown; the single site on USFS lands seems unthreatened at this time. The population size of the 1 well-botanized EO is only 11 plants.

Range Extent Comments

Endemic to California, occurs in Inyo and Kern Counties (Skinner, 1997). Using alpha hull formula, the Range Extent is 1114 sq km.

Occurrences Comments

There are 6 known EO's, but 5 are historical. The single recently seen site is on USFS lands.

Threat Impact Comments

There are few, if any threats. The plant occurs on cliff, ridges, walls, and among boulders. It's microhabitat is fairly secure. There were some mining activities in the single USFS population at one time, but those have ceased. A road is nearby but it is little used. I would guess there are no current threats, but again, we don't know anything about the majority of the populations. "Unknown" may be the correct answer.
