Utah globally rare plants

Species list (total of 272 taxa, 25 federally listed, 3 candidates)

 

For G-rank explanation, see NatureServe Conservation Status

 

ESA status codes: LE=listed as endangered; LT=listed as threatened; C=Candidate species; EM=Emergency listing package submitted; NOR=Notice of review

 

See bottom of this page for a brief discussion of taxa formally federally listed from Utah.

 

Note: the UNPS priority list column is in progress. Also, this list does not yet include all of the taxa included on the 2009 UNPS rare plant list. See the 11/1/09 What's new section for more details and links. The 2009 UNPS Utah rare plant list published 11/01/09 should be taken into account whenever considering project impacts to rare plants and not just the list presented here. See the November 2009 Sego Lily in which the criteria used in developing this list is discussed.

Taxa formerly federally listed in Utah

 

Astragalus perianus: listed as threatened 4/26/78, delisted 9/14/89, more information (species was listed prematurely prior to being properly surveyed, the indication that it "recovered" by FWS is not accurate; still considered rare and is therefore contained in the list of globally rare plants above; the first ever plant species to be delisted under the Endangered Species Act and for reasons unrelated to taxonomy, delisting action was initiated by Dr. Duane Atwood then of the USFS)

 

Echinocereus engelmanii var. purpureus: listed as endangered 10/11/79, delisted 11/27/89, more information (no longer considered a valid taxon, however, there remains a purple-spined form of Echinocereus engelmanii that warrants conservation attention)

 

Echinocereus triglochidiatus var. inermis: listed as endangered 11/7/79, delisted 9/22/93, more information (while no longer considered a valid taxon, this mostly spineless form of what is actually Echinocereus mojavensis* still warrants and receives management attention).

 

 

*As now understood and unrelated to prior disposition of the "inermis" variety , the species Echinocereus triglochidiatus does not occur in Utah.
