Leafy spurge (Euphorbia esu/a), the only critical noxious weed, is lound on the headwaters of the South Fork and in Garden Valley. This plant constitutes a major threat to the prime agricultural lands of southwestern ldaho. Efforts to contain this weed are a high priority.

Five other noxious weeds pose a major threat to rangeland: Dyers woad (/satls lrncloria), yellow star thislle (Centaurea so/stllia/is), spotted knapweed (Centaurea maculosa), ditfuse knapweed (Centaurea dilfusal, and rush skeletonweed (Chondrilla juncea). The progres- sion of these and other weeds is being monitored.

No threatened or endangered plants are known to occur. Eleven species have been identi- fied by the Regional Forester as "sensitive species":

Field investigations of Douglasia idahoensis and Allium validum were completed in '1988 and 1989. Field investications of Allium aaseal are currently underway. RECREATION
