Proposal submitted to the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in response to an RFP (Request for Proposal). The proposed project is to conduct field research on threatened and endangered plants in the Wells S.E. Area of Nevada, with an emphasis on, but not limited to, rare and endangered plants listed for Elko County. The survey will include the following plants, which have already been collected in the Wells Study Area: Astragalus lentiginosus Dougl var latus, Cryptantha interrupta, Eriogonum argophyllum Reveal, and Sclerocactus pubispinus. Collected plant material will be taken to Provo, Utah, generally on a weekly basis, and checked against specimens in the Brigham Young University Herbarium whenever the identification warrants verification. The proposal includes curriculum vitae of the scientists involved with the study: Bertrand F. Harrison, Stanley L. Welsh, Robert H. Foster, and Dan A. Foster.
