    White Cloud Milkvetch), a Region 4 Sensitive Species, on the Sawtooth National Forest

    FIELD INVESTIGATION OF ASTRAGALUS VEXILLIFLEXUS VAR. NUBILUS (WHITE CLOUD MILKVETCH), A REGION 4 SENSITIVE SPECIES, ON THE SAWTOOTH NATIONAL FOREST by Michael Mancuso and Robert K. Moseley Natural Heritage Section Nongame/Endangered Wildlife Program Bureau of Wildlife December 1990 Idaho Department of Fish and Game 600 South Walnut, P.O. Box 25 Boise, Idaho 83707 Jerry M. Conley, Director Cooperative Challenge Cost-share Project Sawtooth National Forest Idaho Department of Fish and Game Purchase Order No. 40-0261-0-0801 ABSTRACT An inventory for Astragalus vexilliflexus var. nubilus (White Cloud milkvetch) was conducted on the Sawtooth National Forest by the Idaho Department of Fish and Game's Natural Heritage Program during August of 1990. The inventory was a cooperative Challenge Cost-share project between the Department and the Sawtooth National Forest. White Cloud milkvetch is a narrow endemic to the White Cloud Peaks and Boulder Mountains of central Idaho, in Custer County. Populations are scattered along the ridge systems that slope generally west to east on the east side of the White Cloud crest. Additionally, one population from the Bowery Creek drainage of the Boulder Mountains is known. It is a high elevation species, found mostly on exposed, dry, rocky ridge crests or upper slopes that typically support a relatively sparse vegetation cover. Prior to our 1990 survey, the species was known from three populations. Five new populations were discovered during the 1990 field investigation. Together, these eight populations support approximately 5,700 plants and cover an area less than 40 acres. Both current and potential threats have been identified at several populations.

    Monitoring White Cloud Milkvetch (Astragalus Vexilliflexus Var. Nubilus) on the Sawtooth National Recreation Area: Baseline Results, 2005

    MONITORING WHITE CLOUD MILKVETCH (ASTRAGALUS VEXILLIFLEXUS VAR. NUBILUS) ON THE SAWTOOTH NATIONAL RECREATION AREA: BASELINE RESULTS, 2005 Idaho Conservation Data Center Idaho Department of Fish and Game PO Box 25 Boise, Idaho 83707 Michael Mancuso 2006 Sawtooth National Forest and Idaho Department of Fish and Game ABSTRACT White Cloud milkvetch (Astragalus vexilliflexus var. nubilus) is a U.S. Forest Service, Region 4 sensitive plant species known from ten occurrences, all located within the Sawtooth National Recreation Area. It is endemic to an approximately 21 km x 10 km area on the eastern slope of the White Cloud Peaks and western slope of the adjacent Boulder Mountains in Custer County, Idaho. In 2005, the Sawtooth National Forest contracted the Idaho Department of Fish and Game’s Idaho Conservation Data Center to establish a monitoring program for this species. White Cloud milkvetch census, plant community, and ground disturbance information was collected along permanently marked transects at eight of the ten known occurrences. Photo point photographs and the collection of additional occurrence area disturbance and threat information were also part of the monitoring protocol. Baseline results showed occurrences had variable White Cloud milkvetch density and habitat characterized by low vegetation cover. The majority had minimal or no disturbance. The landscape surrounding all occurrences was dominated by native vegetation and unfragmented except for occasional secondary roads. Bowery Ridge is the occurrence requiring the most immediate management attention. Recent off-trail motorcycle and heavy cattle use were observed within and near the occurrence. Imminent, serious threats were not observed within the other occurrences visited. Periodic monitoring is recommended to ensure managers are kept appraised of population and habitat trends, the status of any threats, and to evaluate whether directed management actions such as grazing allotment boundary adjustments, are having the intended effect.
