Here is the status of the endangered violet question:

Hi Michael et al.,

I am forwarding your email to Kristi Lazar and Roxanne Bittman at CA Dept of Fish and Game, who may be better able to answer your question about these violets.

Also, you can try talking to Randy Morgan from the CNPS Santa Cruz Chapter (contact: (831) 423-1944), who is very involved in local rare species and flora isses in Santa Cruz County.

Best,

Julie

Well, I've never submitted a taxon for status protection, but Julie Evens at
CA Fish and Game should know, so I have forwarded your note to her (above).
Her phone number is 916-327-0714.
