State Rank Reason (see State Rank above)
Allium canadense is not documented in Montana (MTNHP Status Review in 2017). Allium canadense var. fraseri was reported for Fergus County, Montana in the Atlas of the Flora of the Great Plains (McGregor et al. [eds.] 1977). A search for the specimen(s) was conducted at all herbaria consulted in the preparation of the Atlas (Andrea Pipp personal communication). The specimen (Stephens 68813, KANU) upon which the report was based was later re-determined by Robert Dorn to be Allium cernuum . Another specimen deposited at the Montana State University herbarium (MONT) was also mis-identified and later annotated to be Allium textile . A conservation status rank is not applicable (SNA) because this plant is not known to occur in Montana.
