Status of the small-flowered sand verbena (Tripterocalyx micranthus) in Alberta

Description

This wildlife status report looks at the small-flowered sand verbena, an annual plant of the four o'clock family, so named because the flowers tend to open in the late afternoon. It is found in dry habitats, particularly in loose sands of dune and sandhilll areas. It is widely distributed in the western United States, but in Canada it is found at only eight locations in southeastern Alberta and one nearby Saskatchewan location. The status of the flower in Alberta is May Be At Risk. This report is part of the Alberta Wildlife Status Report series, which provides comprehensive summaries of selected wildlife species intended to be useful to those managing populations of species and their habitats, and to help identify species that may be formally designated as endangered or threatened.
