FEASIBILITY OF RELOCATING TINY POLYGALA

The Tiny Polygala plant was listed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as an endangered species in 1985. This report presents the results of a research project with the following objectives: (1) Review previous work on Tiny Polygala; (2) Develop techniques for horticultural propagation of Tiny Polygala; (3) Establish the distribution of Tiny Polygala on microhabitat patches and gradients; (4) Understand the stage class distribution of Tiny Polygala, including the seed bank; (5) Understand the demographic dynamics of Tiny Polygala, including calculating state transition probabilities and standard demographic parameters; and (6) Conduct an experimental introduction of Tiny Polygala into an appropriate site.
