Discussion

Of conservation concern.

Neviusia cliftonii, known only from the Lake Shasta region in northern California, has been recommended for federal listing under the Endangered Species Act. The discovery of fossil leaves of the genus in British Columbia (S. M. Moore et al. 2002) substantiates the hypothesis that the disjunct populations are relicts from a former more widespread distribution (J. R. Shevock et al. 1992). Members of the California Native Plant Society currently are cultivating N. cliftonii (B. Ertter and J. R. Shevock 1993).
