Habitat conservation assessment and conservation strategy for Penstemon lemhiensis (Lemhi Penstemon)
Elzinga C. 1997. Habitat conservation assessment and conservation strategy for Penstemon lemhiensis (Lemhi Penstemon). Missoula, Montana
This document is a combined Habitat Conservation Assessment (HCA) and Conservation Strategy (CS) for the Lemhi penstemon (Penstemon lemhiensis). This species is considered a "species of concern" by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) based on the recent introduction of a new classification system for candidate species (USDI 1996). Under the previous FWS classification, the Lemhi penstemon was considered a C2 candidate for listing as threatened (USDI 1993). The HCA provides detailed information on the taxonomy, distribution, ecology, and threats related to Penstemon lemhiensis. This information forms the basis for the development of a Conservation Strategy, which outlines specific recommended conservation activities and monitoring.
