BEARTOOTH MOUNTAINS: There are four known 

 populations on the east front of the 

 Beartooth Mountains: 



i. Robertson Draw population has 10,000- 

 100,000 plants over 100-150 acres. 



ii. Gold Creek population has 500-1,000 

 plants over ca. 20 acres. 



iii. Ruby Creek population has 1,000-10,000 

 plants in ca. 40 acres 



iv. Line Creek population has 500-1,000 

 plants over ca. 30 acres. 



YELLOWSTONE AREA: There are ten known 

 populations; however, additional populations 

 probably occur in the foothills of the 

 Absaroka, Gallatin and Madison mountain 

 ranges. I believe that many of these 

 population estimates may be low. For 

 example, C. longispica was reported to be 

 common over 640 acres of the Little Mile 

 Creek area, yet the population was estimated 

 at only 300 plants. 



i. Grayling Power Pole population has 600- 

 2,000 plants among at least ten 

 subpopulations over ca. 4 acres. 



ii. Little Trail Creek population has 1,000- 

 10,000 plants over ca. 450 acres. 



iii. Grayling Arm Hebgen Lake population has 

 500-1,000 plants over ca. 40 acres. 



iv. Cinnamon population has at least 70 



plants in at least 3 subpopulations over 

 ca. 50 acres. 



v. Sheep Creek population has ca. 200 

 plants over ca. 40 acres.
