Abstract:

We are proud to announce the first-ever reintroduction, to the wild, of MacFarlane’s four-o’clock (Mirabilis macfarlanei) plants grown from seed. The planting represents the long-awaited culmination of years of partnership, coordination, and planning between many dedicated individuals and across multiple agencies and disciplines. MacFarlane’s four-o’clock is a federally-listed Threatened species endemic to portions of the Snake, Salmon, and Imnaha river canyons in west-central Idaho and adjacent northeastern Oregon. If you happened to read the June 2019 issue of Sage Notes, you may recall Karen Colson’s summary of ongoing restoration activities for MacFarlane’s four-o’clock. She described the past successful transplant of Mirabilis rhizomes to two BLM conservation areas within the BLM Cottonwood Field Office, Lower Otto Creek and Lucile Caves Area of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC). Both of these sites will now also become home to transplants established from seed.
