On west bank of Gotchen Ck channel on small floodplain terrace on mineral soil at base of rootwad +/- 6-8 ft off the channel. No surface water, stream is dry. Half of the overstory is dead and most of the remaining half looks to be dying. Aspect: 270 degrees. Rootwad. Slope: 5%. Location notes: In the vicinity if historic site(s) found on 07/26/99. Only one site found, on west bank of creek, just below confluence of diversion from the Guard Station. The population/occurrence appears to be holding on by a narrow margin. Hydrologic changes in stream flow may be most damaging. Loss of forest canopy is also possible factor. Site is much drier than in 1999. Associated species: Abies grandis, Pinus ponderosa, Pseudotsuga menziesii, Osmorhiza chilensis, Lactuca muralis, RUPE, Polystichum munitum, Hieracium albiflorum, Galium trifidum and Atrichum selwynii.
