the drainage has been altered extensively through housing 

 development (mostly cabins, second homes, ranches, and church 

 camps) , some of it prior to 1941. There were, however, several 

 small populations of C. lanceolata var. f lava in this drainage on 

 Forest Service land. 



The sites are as follows: 



T4S R12E Section 25, SWs - Ca . 20 plants in a small meadow. 



T6S R12E Section 35, NW^i - Ca . 250 individuals on small open 

 bench on the northern edge of the Hells Canyon Campground. 



Populations were also located on private land within the 

 drainage. These sites include: 



T5S R12E Section 23, SE^ - Ca . 15 plants along the roadside 

 in a small patch of undisturbed habitat. 



T5S R12E Section 35, SV^h - Tens of thousands of plants on a 

 sagebrush knoll, extending down to the meadow adjacent to 

 the Main Boulder River. 



West Boulder River Drainage 



One small and one large population were located on the West 

 Boulder River drainage. Both are within the Absaroka-Beartooth 

 Wilderness. The sites are as follows: 



T3S RUE Section 25, SE^SW^ - Ca. 25 plants in small opening 

 bisected by the West Fork Boulder River trail. 



T4S RUE Section 2 - Ca. 10,000 plants in three 

 subpopulations, in the open areas of West Boulder Meadows. 



Surveys in other areas of the Gallatin National Forest. 



After determining the extent and concentration of 

 populations in the Boulder River drainages, surveys were 

 continued to determine the range of C. lanceolata var. f lava on 

 the Gallatin National Forest. These surveys resulted in the 

 location of four new populations in the Gallatin River drainage. 

 These sites are as follows: 



T4S R4E Section 28, NW^sSW^ - Ca . 200-300 plants in the horse 

 pastures at the Sguaw Creek Guard Station. 



TVS R4E Section 16, NW^SW^ - Ca . 250-500 plants in a moist 

 meadow south of the Porcupine Guard Station. 



TVS R4E Section 33, NW^SE^i, SW^SE^ - Ca. 400-500 plants in 

 the open meadow areas of Red Cliff Campground (north loop) .
