Brook spike-primrose (Epilobium torreyi) COSEWIC assessment and status report: chapter 1

COSEWIC Assessment Summary

Assessment Summary – April 2006

Common name : Brook spike-primrose

Scientific name : Epilobium torreyi

Status : Endangered

Reason for designation : Although no plants have been seen at the two known sites after intensive directed surveys, there is still the possibility that some seeds may remain in the soil seed bank given the relatively short period of time since the last observation of plants in 1993, or that previously overlooked populations may be found.

Occurrence : British Columbia

Status history : Designated Endangered in April 2006. Assessment based on a new status report.
