PART II<br />
RECOVERY<br />
Scutellaria montana (large-<strong>flowered</strong> skullcap) will be considered for delisting when there<br />
are 15 adequately protected <strong>and</strong> managed self-sustaining populations. Populations must<br />
be distributed throughout the range <strong>and</strong> must be maintained for 10 years. A population<br />
will be considered adequately protected when it is legally protected <strong>and</strong> all needed active<br />
management is provided. A population will be considered “self-sustaining” if monitoring<br />
data support the conclusion that it is reproducing successfully <strong>and</strong> is stable or increasing<br />
in size. The minimum number of individuals necessary for a self-sustaining population<br />
should be considered to be at least 100 until otherwise determined by demographic<br />
studies. Ifnumbers ofdiscrete populations increase to 25 (because ofthe<br />
discovery/establishment of additional populations) or the number ofprotected <strong>and</strong><br />
managed self-sustaining populations becomes 10 or more (distributed throughout the<br />
known geographic range), the species will be considered for downlisting to threatened<br />
status.<br />
