Its sepals are not fused, but instead are free or nearly so to the base. The lip petal is oval to lance-shaped in outline, and has a marked median constriction. It also has crispy-wavy margins and mostly parallel venation. The upper stem is sparsely to densely glandular-pubescent. Persistent leaves are largely restricted to the base, with the others reduced to bracts by flowering time.

    Lake Van Norden Special-status Plant Survey Lake Van Norden Dam Spillway Modification Project Nevada County, California August 2015 Prepared for: John Svahn Stewardship Director Truckee Donner Land Trust 10069 West River Street Truckee, CA Prepared by: C.S. Ecological Surveys and Assessments 11331 Star Pine Road Truckee, CA 96161 C.S. Ecological surveys and Assessments Lake Van Norden Special-status Plant Survey Executive Summary This report presents the results of the focused botanical survey for vascular special-status plants at the proposed Lake Van Norden Dam Spillway Modification Project (proposed project). A complete pedestrian survey of the approximately 160 acre botanical survey area was conducted on June 16th and 17th 2015. The survey generally complied with the botanical survey guidelines of the California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG), the California Native Plant Society (CNPS), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), but differed from these protocols in that a survey of the aquatic habitat was also conducted. The aquatic survey followed guidelines outlined in Aquatic Plant Sampling Protocols: Publication No. 01-03-017 produced by the Washington State Department of Ecology (Parsons 2001). Pre-field research was conducted to select special-status plant species with potential to be found within the survey area. The list of potentially occurring special-status plants was derived from several sources including the California Natural Diversity Database, the CNPS On-line Inventory, and the California Consortium of Herbaria. Twenty-three special-status plant species, including nineteen vascular plants and four non-vascular plants (one liverwort and three mosses) were determined to have potential to occur within the survey area based on habitat preferences and known distribution.

  • THE IDAHO NATIVE PLANT SOCIETY RARE PLANT LIST – FEB. 2007 the Idaho Rare Plant List Has Three Main Divisions: GLOBALL
    THE IDAHO NATIVE PLANT SOCIETY RARE PLANT LIST – FEB. 2007 The Idaho Rare Plant List has three main divisions: GLOBALLY RARE = Species and varieties or subspecies rare throughout their range. STATE RARE = Taxa rare within the political boundaries of Idaho, but more common elsewhere. REVIEW = Taxa that may be of conservation concern in Idaho, but which lack sufficient information to base a recommendation regarding their appropriate classification on the Idaho Rare Plant List. Global conservation ranks used to assign taxa to the first two groups are based on a system developed by The Nature Conservancy and used by the Natural Heritage and Conservation Data Center network (NatureServe). Using this one- through-five ranking system, taxa ranked G1-G3 are assigned to one of the INPS GLOBALLY RARE categories. Taxa ranked G4 or G5 are assigned to one of the INPS STATE RARE categories. There are four INPS GLOBALLY RARE categories: Globally Extinct (GX), Global Priority 1 (GP1), Global Priority 2 (GP2), and Global Priority 3 (GP3). In addition, each globally rare species that is not currently listed as Endangered or Threatened under the federal Endangered Species Act receives a Threat Priority rank. This one-through-twelve rank is based on the old U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Listing Priority criteria. In the past, these rankings have helped the INPS make and prioritize recommendations to the USFWS for the federal Candidate list, as well as other conservation efforts. INPS STATE RARE species are assigned to one of five categories: Taxa believed to be extirpated from Idaho (SX), State Priority 1 (SP1), State Priority 2 (SP2), Sensitive (S), or Monitor (M).

  • Ute Ladies' Tresses (Spiranthes Diluvialis)
    UTE LADIES TRESSES (SPIRANTHES DILUVIALIS) IN IDAHO: 1997 STATUS REPORT by Robert K. Moseley Conservation Data Center April 1998 Idaho Department of Fish and Game Natural Resource Policy Bureau 600 South Walnut, P.O. Box 25 Boise, Idaho 83707 Stephen P. Mealey, Director Status Survey Report prepared for Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation through Section 6 funding from U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Region 1 ABSTRACT Ute ladies tresses (Spiranthes diluvialis) is a white-flowered orchid that occurs in low elevation wetlands and riparian zones of the Central and Northern Rockies and adjacent plains and valleys. The specific epithet, diluvialis, is Latin meaning “of the flood,” which is descriptive of much of the species’ habitat: alluvial substrates along perennial streams and rivers. It was listed as Threatened under the Endangered Species Act in 1992. At the time of listing it was known to be extant in Colorado and Utah, with one historical population in Nevada. It was listed due to its rarity, low population sizes, and threats of loss or modification of riparian habitats. Since listing Ute ladies tresses populations have been discovered in Nebraska, Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, and Washington. In this report I summarize our knowledge of the status of Ute ladies tresses in Idaho, through the 1997 field season. Results from the 1996 season were reported last year (Moseley 1997a). Topics covered by this report include a review of the taxonomy, species description and identification aids, the rangewide and Idaho distributions, extent of surveys in Idaho, habitat characteristics, aids in assessing potential habitat, and floodplain dynamics in relation to Ute ladies tresses habitat.

Plans are prepared by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, sometimes with the assistance of recovery teams, contractors, State agencies, and others. Objectives will only be attained and funds expended contingent upon appropriations, priorities, and other budgetary constraints. Recovery plans do not necessarily represent the views nor the official positions or approvals of any individuals or agencies, other than the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, involved in the plan formulation. They represent the official position of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Qniy after they have been signed by the Regional Director or Director as approved. Approved recovery plans are subject to modification as dictated by new findings, changes in species status, and the completion of recovery tasks.
