What is the past history of conservation for the showy stickseed?
A. Showy stickseed has been under review for listing since 1975. It was one of the first species considered for listing when it was assessed in the Red Book, a report published by the Smithsonian Institution. In 1976, it was one of 1,700 species proposed for listing as endangered, published in the Federal Register, due to the concerns brought forward by the Smithsonian report. The species was designated as endangered by the Washington State Natural Heritage Program since 1981. However, there is no state Endangered Species Protection for plants, therefore, no legal requirements for protection of the species at the state level.
