Creek and Medicine Lodge creek drainages. 



Many populations are large and many large 



undocumented populations probably occur on 



private land. The plant is common in the 



riparian wetlands of the valleys. 



i. Cabin Creek- heavily grazed in 1997 so 

 accurate population estimates were not 

 possible; ca. 5 acres; based on the size 

 and quality of habitat, this is probably 

 a large population; probably more plants 

 on private land. 



ii. Coyote Creek- two small subpopulations 

 at high elevation; along stream and 

 around seep, <1 acre; regularly grazed 

 by livestock. 



iii. Harkness Lakes- at least two medium-size 

 subpopulations occurring along creek and 

 margins of small lakes; 200-2,000 stems 

 observed in 1985; subject to grazing. 



iv. Hildreth- medium-size population in two 

 subpopulations on ca. 1 acre associated 

 with spring and spring creek; ca 700 

 stems estimated in 1997; light to 

 moderate livestock grazing. 



v. Kate Creek- small population in <1 acre 

 along stream; 8 stems observed in 1997; 

 moderate livestock grazing. 



vi. Lower Poison Lake- small population in 

 <1 acre around spring-fed pond; little 

 or no livestock grazing in 1984. 



vii. Meadow Creek- at least four 



subpopulations distributed along small 

 stream; livestock grazing, at least 300- 

 600 stems observed in 1993, 94, 97; 

 probably a medium or large population 

 based on the amount of habitat; probably 

 more plants on private land. 



viii Morrison Lake- small population in <1 

 acre around small pond; 50-100 stems 

 observed in 1990; livestock grazing. 



ix. Muddy Creek- medium-size population on 

 creek terrace, ca. 1 acre; moderate to 

 light livestock use in 1993. 



X. Porcupine Canyon- large population in 

 ca. 2 acre; >20,000 stems estimated in 

 1997; little or no livestock grazing in 

 1997. 



xi. Simpson Creek- large population on 4+ 



acres along small stream; >10,000 stems 

 estimated in 1997; light to moderate 

 livestock grazing; probably more plants 

 on private land.
