conserve these species in the wild, whether through<br />
population enhancement or translocation to new suitable<br />
sites.<br />

This analysis would not have been possible without<br />
the extended efforts over the past half-century to document<br />
the flora of the Great Basin. The contributors to<br />
this effort are too numerous to list but their names reappear<br />
through the citations herein and in many of the<br />
specific epithets. The Nevada Natural Heritage Program<br />
plays an indispensable role in maintaining data on rare<br />
plant species. Thanks especially to my reviewers, Dr.<br />
Alan de Queiroz, Dr. Bruce Pavlik, and Dr. James<br />
Morefield; their comments helped clarify my thinking<br />
and made a substantial improvement in the manuscript.<br />
Finally, thanks to the Nevada Fish and Wildlife Office<br />
of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Office for allowing me<br />
time to complete this work. The findings and conclusions<br />
in this article are those of the author and do not<br />
necessarily represent the views of the U.S. Fish and<br />
Wildlife Service.<br />
