 These populations are not vouchered by 

 herbarium specimens. Detailed descriptions 

 of these sites can be found in Appendix B. 

 The Raynolds Bridge population has not yet 

 been documented (S. Shelly, pers. comm.). 



3. HISTORICAL SITES: There is a collection made by 

 Aven Nelson in 1899 from Madison County (Midway) . 

 The location information is so poor that this 

 population cannot be relocated. There was a poor 

 collection from Ravalli County made in 1959 (Burnt 

 Fork Lake Ridge) ; this specimen is probably 

 misidentif ied as the site description seems 

 eccentric. 



4. UNSUCCESSFULLY SEARCHED AREAS: The occurrence of 

 Castilleja longispica is somewhat sporadic. In 

 between the documented populations, there are 

 areas of what appeared to be appropriate habitat 

 that were unoccupied. Grasslands on the 

 northwest-facing slopes above Rock Creek and the 

 West Fork of Rock Creek were surveyed briefly, but 

 C. longispica not was found. Castilleja 

 longispica was not found on the north slopes of 

 the Pryor Mountains above Sage Creek. 



5. AREAS YET TO BE SEARCHED: Additional populations 

 of C. longispica undoubtedly occur in the Pryor 

 Mountains, especially near the headwaters of Bear 

 Canyon to King Canyon and some of the unexplored 

 finger ridges such as Tony Island. Populations 

 may also occur on the Crow Indian Reservation in 

 the Pryor and Big Horn mountains. 



Large expanses of appropriate C. longispica 

 habitat occur throughout southwest Montana. 

 Recent and historical collections suggest that C.
