Notes Glossary
  • Many historical occurrences lost to urbanization and stream channelization; currently threatened by alteration of fire regimes, development, sand and gravel mining, flood control, foot traffic, proposed reservoir construction, recreational activities, vehicles, and non-native plants. See Proceedings of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences 12:269 (1877) for original description, Great Basin Naturalist Memoirs 2:169-190 (1978) for taxonomic treatment, Phytologia 66(2):83-88 (1989) for revised nomenclature, and Madroño 44(3):305 (1997) for discussion of Vail Lake occurrence.
