It is considered closely related to C. occidentalis." No vouchers are cited in FNA for Utah nor is any information noted about the notable disjunction in ssp. cusickii.

His proposal that this specimen may be from Nevada has merit. T. cyathiferum is found in eastern NV only in the Independence Range of Elko County.

Further population-level research may show that this taxon is more locally common and should be scored a "0". However since it has only been collected 5 times in the same relative vicinity, it is reasonable to assume this plant is not common in Daggett County and rescoring this taxon as a "1" is warranted. Habitat Specificity rescored a "1" due to its status as a riparian species according to A Utah Flora ("Wet sedge meadow").

It is a species that is mostly in the northeastern U.S. with scattered disjunct populations across the Midwest and Western U.S. Habitat Specificity scored as "1" due to its status as a riparian species according to FNA ("Wet ground in ditches, lake and stream margins, and a variety of other habitats, often a calciphile"). This species has more than 25 populations in Utah (assuming the determination of the SEINet records are mostly correct) and likely is common locally. Number of Individuals is scored as "unknown" since this species may have large local populations. Riparian habitat modification and disturbance from farming, residential development, and the grazing-related impacts of cattle are a threat to this species.

This plant has a similar distribution to J. articulatus, it is a species that is mostly in the northeastern U.S. with scattered populations across the Midwest and Western U.S. Th only specimen from Utah was collected in Box Elder County in 1874 (Kuntze 3133, "bei Corrinne", NY) and is the holotype of J. canadensis var. kuntzei. This taxon is a historical collection and the population has likely been extirpated. It is another candidate for a list of potentially extinct species that have not been relocated in the past 50 years.

The closest populations of this taxon to Utah are in Clark County, Nevada. The report from Iron County, Utah may be correctly identified, but the Utah County report is much farther disjunct from the range of the species and should be re-examined. This taxon may also be present in Washington County. Habitat Specificity rescored a "1" due to its status as a riparian species according to FNA ("Eutrophic, quiet waters in temperate regions with mild winters"). Number of Individuals scored as "unknown" since population sizes are not known for this small plant in Utah. This plant has been found in still, eutrophic outflows of springs in the Mojave Desert region, habitats that are becoming significantly degraded by development, ATV-recreational disturbance, and grazing impacts. Species of small, water-dependent herbs are generally overlooked by botanists. Despite this, the habitat for this species is very limited. The situation is complicated by man-made water features. Many of the eutrophic water bodies in the range of this species are not natural, mostly stock ponds and residential reservoirs. It is possible that the populations of this taxon in Utah are not native. It is a high priority to check to see if these populations still exist.

Threats to this taxon include grazing-related impacts from cattle, sheep, and naturalized mountain goats. Goats were introduced by the State of Utah for trophy hunters.

Habitat Specificity scored as "1" since it is subalpine meadow and bog species according to A Utah Flora ("Wet meadows with sedges, calamagrostis, and sphagnum"). Threats to this taxon include grazing-related impacts from cattle, sheep, and naturalized mountain goats. Goats were introduced by the State of Utah for trophy hunters. Climate change is also a threat. Droughts and rapid snowmelt due to wind-blown sediments are melting snowpack earlier than normal in our region. These are the primary reasons for the upgrade of the threats to this species to a "1". Trends are scored as "unknown" due to uncertainty of the magnitude of the impacts of disturbance on extant populations and the lack of population-level surveys. It is a high priority to monitor these alpine endemics that may be impacted by naturalized animals introduced by the State of Utah. | Alexander | Aug 2015 | x | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Numerous riparian species have not been relocated in this area for over 40 years. These are the primary reasons for the upgrade of the threats to this species to a "1". Trends are scored as "1". It is downward. [2018 - taxon is believed to be exptirpated and if treated as a variety/species, extinct, perhaps the first documented extinction of a globally rare species with a distribution in Utah. The lake's water level was changed starting with a dam in 1935 and the level rose over time changing the water depth and temperature and then combined with introduced species via boating and other human-caused impacts.] | Alexander/Frates | 12/1/2014/Oct 2018 | x | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

It is difficult to separate the two for the purposes of ranking and scoring due to discrepancies between A Utah Flora and these two works.

It is known only from the Uinta Mountains (Uinta and Summit Cos.). The habitat does not seem unusual based on the description in A Utah Flora ("Subalpine fir, krummholz, and fell fields"), however, it is lacking in detail for a precise scoring. According to FNA, this taxon is a subalpine talus species, although it cannot be labeled an edaphic endemic since neither FNA or A Utah Flora provide precise geological substrate data. Following FNA, Habitat Specificity was rescored as "1". Threats to this taxon include grazing-related impacts from naturalized mountain goats. Goats were introduced by the State of Utah for trophy hunters. Climate change is also a threat. Droughts and rapid snowmelt due to wind-blown sediments are melting snowpack earlier than normal in our region. These are the primary reasons for the upgrade of the threats to this species to a "1". Trends are scored as "unknown" due to uncertainty of the magnitude of the impacts of disturbance on extant populations and the lack of population-level surveys. It is a high priority to monitor these alpine endemics that may be impacted by naturalized animals introduced by the State of Utah. These changes re-rank this taxon from the "Medium" to the "High" list. | Alexander | Jan 2015 | x | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Draba zionensis is easily distinguished from D. subalpina by having orange-yellow (versus white) petals, and from D. asprella and D. sobolifera by its glabrous (versus pubescent) pedicels and stems distally. Nearly all populations of the species are found in and around Zion National Park in southwestern Utah (Iron, Kane, and Washington counties). A specimen supposedly from the Deep Creek Mountains (Juab County) may be mislabeled." Molecular research in the genus may continue to support the assertion that this species is not closely related to D. asprella. | Alexander | Aug 2014 | x | x | x | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
