stands well above the sagebrush. From the east end of the transects it is 248° to the top of 

 Bachelor Mountain and 346" to the top of the butte to the north. Vegetation at the site is 

 dominated by Artemisia tridentata and A gropyron spicatum . Aster scopulorum and Phlox 

 hoodii are common forbs. A more complete description of the vegetation is given by Lesica 

 and Elliott (1987, p. 14). 



Procedures for reading the monitoring transects are outlined in Lesica and Elliott 

 (1987) and Lesica (1987). Transects were subjectively located to maximize the number of A. 

 scaphoides plants recorded. Each transect consisted of 50 1 m" quadrats placed along the 

 transect line on the uphill side. Transects were read from left to right when facing uphill 

 with the lower left comer of the first quadrat placed at the 0.0 mark of the transect line. The 

 position of each A^ scaphoides plant encountered in the quadrats was mapped, and each plant 

 was classified for three traits: size class, inflorescence production, and fecundity. The 

 classification system and codes for these traits are as follows: 



1) Size Classes : 



S Very small plants with 1-3 leaves 



J Plants with 4-6 leaves 



M Plants with more than 6 leaves 



Plants that produced inflorescences were classified by the fate of the individual 

 inflorescences as follows:
