“…Endemism within this region is indicated by the presence of several endemic plant and wildlife species, including Shasta eupatory, Ageratina shastensis (Taylor and Stebbins, 1978); Shasta snowwreath, Neviusia cliftonii (Shevock et al, 1992); and the Shasta and Wintu sideband snails, Monadenia troglodytes troglodytes and M. t. wintu (Roth, 1981). The documentation of regional endemic taxa continues with recent descriptions of four plant species including Shasta limestone monkeyflower, Erythranthe taylori (Nesom, 2013); Shasta maidenhair fern, Adiantum shastense (Huiet et al, 2015); Shasta fawn lily, Erythronium shastense (York et al, 2015); and Shasta huckleberry, Vaccinium shastense shastense (Nelson and Lindstrand, 2015).…”
