northern Arizona end New Mexico. Appropriate habitats are not 

 available in the Bee! Project area> and the species has not been 

 recorded there. 



Clevtonl a lanceol eta ver. f "leva has not been recorded in the Eeal 



Project area, but may potentially occur there since no botanical 



survey has been conducted in the area during spring (the texon is 



most readily identified during late April to late May). Lesica 



et cl . (1984) recommended its status as threatened in Montana; 



records were cited for moist meadows at mid-elevations in Deer 



Lodge and Powell counties. " C. lanceolata var. f i e y a is thought 



to be extinct at the type locality in Idaho and one of the two 



other known stations in Montana. It may still occur in the 



vicinity cf Anaconda where it was collected 70 years ago" (Lesica 



et al . , 1984). More recent records U.S. Shelly, pers. comm. ) 



indicate that the taxon is extant at the type locality near Henrys 



Lake in Idaho. There are two historical and three recent records 



for the taxon in Montana. Of the two historical records cited by 



Lesica et al . (1984), the Powell County record is likely a 1966 



record from near Champion Pass in Deer Lodge County, which has not 



been relocated despite recent field investigation by P. Lesica. 



Recent Montana records include: 



1) one plant in a subalpine forb meadow in the northern 

 East Pioneer Mountains in Beaverhead County (KESTECH, 

 1982);
