A review of Lesica et al . (1984) revealed no additional taxa as likely 

 rare plant candidates for the Bee! Project area. In the eight years 

 preceding Lesica et al . (1984), 22 vascular plant taxa were considered 

 in Montane for federal status as threatened or endangered; these 

 included Carex p arryana ssp. idaho a, Claytoni a lanceolate var. f lava 

 and Penstenon lemhiensis . Observations by John Joy in the area have 

 not indicated the presence of any sensitive plant species.
