General Status Rank
Rank: 
Secure
Status Rank Description: 
Restricted distribution expected with northern edge of distribution in the NWT, with 24 occurrences already know - present in a single ecozone (H153) but more sites are found if looked for.
S Rank: 
S4
Decision Process Description: 
Drafted as MAR by E. Haber in 2004 (H153). Modified by S Carriere to sensitive based on new sites (Pipeline EA). Modified to secure based on more sites found in 2005 by Downing (S Carriere 2009).; Reviewed in 2015 by Marilyn Anions; no change
