Evaluation The British Columbia Conservation Data Centre con- siders A. flagellaris to be Endangered in British Colum- bia (Douglas et al. 2002a). The Committee on the Sta- tus of Endangered WildUfe in Canada has also assigned this species to the Endangered category (COSEWIC 2004*). The three populations are small and vulnerable to a number of threats. With limited knowledge of the plants, biological and ecological requirements, this species is vulnerable to extirpation in British Columbia. Without research on growth requirements and further demographic information, the stability of the present populations will remain unknown. The limited number of plants also reduces the potential for genetic variation which may be necessary to respond to environmental changes in the future.
