Notes
| Six occurrences were discovered between 1999 and 2006 on SRO Isl., where it had not been collected since the 1930's. Presumed extirpated on SMI Isl., where it was last collected in 1939. Increasing on SCZ Isl. After reduction of feral herbivore population. Threatened by herbivory from non-native deer on SCT Isl. Also threatened by altered fire regimes and non-native plants. Possibly threatened by erosion. Hybridizes with H. scoparium. |
