Recovery plan for Chorizanthe robustus var. robusta (Robust spineflower)
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Region 1 and Rutherford C. 2004. Recovery plan for Chorizanthe robustus var. robusta (Robust spineflower). U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Portland, OR
Abstracted from the Executive Summary (pp. iii - v): Chorizanthe robustus var. robusta (Robust spineflower), which is federally endangered, is restricted to sandy soils along the coast and near-coastal areas in Santa Cruz and Marin Counties, California. Of the 10 sites now known, 3 are on park lands (including Abbots Lagoon and South Kehoe Creek at Point Reyes National Seashore) that support large populations on the order of 10,000 individuals or more. Recovery Priority Number is 9, per criteria published in the Federal Register, indicating an infraspecific taxon with a moderate degree of threat and a high recovery potential. The recovery goal is to conserve variable and self-sustaining populations in its natural habitat such that protection of the Endangered Species Act is no longer necessary.
