population. Their specimen, Jones and Toubman 

 (s. n. ) , was verified by Dr. Loran Anderson, and is 

 deposited at the Florida State University 

 Herbarium, Tallahassee, Florida. 



The single location for H. macronema in Montana is 

 shown on a map, Figure 1, p. 7. The legal 

 description, latitude and longitude, elevation, 

 USGS topographic map name, and location of the 

 occurrence in Montana are found in the Element 

 Occurrence record for this population, p. 12. 

 Also, the exact location is indicated on a 

 U.S.G.S. topographic map on p. 13. 



3. HISTORICAL SITES: Another record for Haplopappus 

 macronema comes from a specimen collected in the 

 vicinity of the Polaris Mine, at the southern end 

 of the East Pioneer Mountains. During the current 

 study, a photocopy of the specimen was received 

 for examination. It was annotated in October of 

 1987 by Leila M. Shultz, Intermountain Herbarium 

 as Macronema lineare Rydb. , a synonym for 

 Haplopappus macronema var. linearis . This site 

 was previously surveyed for Haplopappus macronema 

 var. macronema by Peter Lesica (Ecological 

 Consulting) with no result; it is assumed that 

 only var. linearis is present here. 



4. UNVERIFIED/UNDOCUMENTED REPORTS: None. 



5. AREAS SURVEYED BUT SPECIES NOT LOCATED: The area 

 in the vicinity of the Polaris Mine was resurveyed 

 for H. macronema during 1990, again without 

 success. 



HABITAT: The Storm Peak (001) population occurs on a 

 south-facing talus slope, at 8,900 ft. (2,712 m) in 

 elevation. A review of available geologic maps places 

 the population in an area underlain by sedimentary 

 rocks of Cretaceous age, belonging to the Colorado 

 Group, Kootenai Formation, which includes shales, 

 sandstones, and limestones (Alt and Hyndman 1980). The 

 population occurs on a sandstone talus slope. 



Plant species associated with H. macronema include, 

 scattered Pinus albicaulis , Ribes spp. , Artemisia 

 tridentata . and Delphinium spp. In addition, 

 Haplopappus suf f ruticosus was collected nearby. The 

 Montana population occurs in a similar habitat, and 

 with similar associated species as populations reported 

 for California by Hall (1928).
