Stanleya tomentosa Parry 



Wooly I'rince's-plume 



NATURAL HERITAGE PROGRAM STATUS: G4/S3 



MONTANA STATUS: Sensitive 



GLOBAL DISTRIBUTION: South-central Montana and northwest Wyoming 



MONTANA DISTRIBUTION: Southern Carbon County 



PRYOR MOUNTAINS DESERT DISTRIBUTION: Stanleva tomentosa is common 

 between 1370 and 1675 m (4500 and 5500 ft) on the south slopes and foothills of the 

 Pryor Mountains. Sparse but widespread populations occur in sandy soil, principally in 

 juniper woodlands but also in cushion plant grasslands. Common associated species are 

 Artemisia arbuscula , Ceratoides lanatus and Agropyron spicatum . 



MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS: Although plants of S, tomentosa are often 

 sparsely distributed in populations, the species is widespread in the study area. We 

 located 28 populations. This species should not be given special status on BLM's Miles 

 City District. 



Streptanthella longirostris (VVats.) Rydb. 



Beaked Streptanthella 



NATURAL HERITAGE PROGRAM STATUS: G5/S3 



MONTANA STATUS: Sensitive 



GLOBAL DISTRIBUTION: Eastern Washington to south-central Montana, south to 

 Baja California and New Mexico 



MONTANA DISTRIBUTION: Southern Carbon County 



PRYOR MOUNTAINS DESERT DISTRIBUTION: Streptanthella longirostris is locally 

 common below 1675 m (5500 ft) on the south side of the Pryor Mountains. Small to 

 large populations occur in sandy soil of juniper woodlands and communities dominated 

 by Artemisia tridentata and Bcniteloua gracilis . 



MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS: Streptanthella longirostris is an annual; 

 thus, population sizes may very greatly among years and may respond positively to
