Bernardino Mountains, San Bernardino

County, California. Each species occurs

on Federal, State, and private lands.

Sidalcea pedata is a several stemmed

perennial 2–4 decimeters tall and

Thelypodium stenopetalum is a simplestemmed biennial 3–8 decimeters tall.

The plant species occur as components

in moist to wet montane meadow

habitat associated with swales,

drainages and the shores of Big Bear and

Baldwin Lakes. Although commercial

and residential development is

considered the primary threat to the two

species, changes in surface hydrology,

recreational activities and livestock

grazing also threaten these species.

Protection and management of the

species’ habitat are the primary goals of

the recovery effort.

Public Comments Solicited

The Service solicits written comments

on the recovery plan described. All

significant comments received by the

date specified above will be considered

prior to the approval of the plan.
