 BLM and private lands. 



II. ASSESSMENT AND MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS 



A. THREATS TO KNOWN POPULATIONS: None identified. 



B. FURTHER ASSESSMENT AND MANAGEMENT NEEDS: No altered 

 management practices seem to be called for at this time. 

 However, if future surveys show a decline in numbers, then 

 reassesment would then be warranted. 



C. SUMMARY: Sphaeralcea munroana is a native desert species 

 known in Montana only from the Centennial Valley. It is 

 recommended that it be considered for adding to the 

 proposed BLM list of sensitive plants pending further 

 survey work.
