摘要

The Bureau of Land Management is mandated to preserve biodiversity and prevent extinction of rare species on public lands. Baseline resource inventories focusing on rare and sensitive taxa improve our knowledge of their abundance and distribution and are essential for making sound management decisions. permanently curated specimens document the occurance of all plants and are available for review by botanists. Electronically databased collection information can be readily shared with relevant agencies and researchers. These steps become invaluable when the areas of concern are remote and not easily revisited.
