Abstract:

Idaho Bureau of Land Management (BLM) staff need information about Special Status Plant Species to assist with field surveys, setting data collection priorities, making conservation management decisions, and assessing conservation actions. To meet this need, the Idaho BLM State Office has initiated a project to produce an on-line field guide to Idaho BLM Special Status Plant Species. The purpose of this web-based field guide is to help users recognize and identify Special Status Plant Species in the field. The first installment includes 35 Special Status Plant Species. Additional taxa are planned for the future. The guide provides one-stop access to general description, field identification tips, and similar-looking species summaries, as well as basic taxonomic, conservation status, distribution, habitat, and phenology information. The field guide also includes an Idaho distribution map and color images for each species.

The field guide is intended to assist agency, academic, consultant, and other biologists charged with conducting field surveys or other conservation-related work for Special Status Plant Species in Idaho. The field guide can also serve members of the public and citizen scientists interested in learning more about Idaho BLM Special Status Plants Species. The guide’s digital, on-line format allows for ready down-loading of hard copies that can be taken into the field or shared with colleagues. Making the guide available in a digital format will enable the species account information to reach a wider audience and be available more quickly compared to print media. The digital format also makes it easier to add more species accounts in the future and to update information about the species already in the guide in a more timely and inexpensive manner.

Species list includes: Abronia mellifera var. pahoveorum, Allium aaseae, Astragalus ambyltropis, Astragalus amnis-ammissi, Astragalus anserinus, Astragalus aquilonius, Astragalus asotinensis, Astragalus atratus var. inceptus, Astragalus jejunus var. jejunus, Astragalus mulfordiae, Astragalus oniciformis, Astragalus packardiae, Astragalus sterilis, Calamagrostis tweedyi, Carex aboriginum, Carex idahoa, Castilleja christii, Chaenactis cusickii, Eriogonum capistratum var. welshii, Howellia aquatilis, Lepidium papilliferum, Mentzelia mollis, Mirabilis macfarlanei, Monardella angustifolia, Oenothera psammophila, Oxytropis besseyi var. salmonensis, Phacelia inconspicua, Pinus albicaulis, Polemonium elusum, Silene spaldingii, Spiranthes diluvialis, Stanleya confertiflora, Thelypodium repandum, Trifolium owyheense
