I. SUMMARY 



Cvpripedium calceolus, a sensitive plant species on the draft Bureau 

 of Land Management sensitive plant list for Montana, was 

 systematically surveyed to document extant populations in the Garnet 

 Resource Area as originally collected from Anderson Hill of the Garnet 

 Range. No extant populations or likely potential habitat were found 

 within a 1 mile radius of Anderson Hill. Potential habitat but no 

 populations were found in adjoining sections. Since this species was 

 known . on BLM lands from only Anderson Hill, it is recommended that it 

 be placed in the appropriate category as a potentially extirpated 

 species on the BLM state list, having no management implications 

 within the proposed project area.
