G4T3?Q Apparently Secure, Infraspecific Taxon, Inexact Numeric Rank, Questionable taxonomy - Uncommon but not rare (although it may be rare in parts of its range, particularly on the periphery), and usually widespread. Apparently not vulnerable in most of its range, but possibly cause for long-term concern. Typically more than 100 occurrences and more than 10,000 individuals.
The status of infraspecific taxa (subspecies or varieties) are indicated by a "T-rank" following the species' global rank. Rules for assigning T-ranks follow the same principles as the "G-rank"
G3 Vulnerable - Vulnerable globally either because very rare and local throughout its range, found only in a restricted range (even if abundant at some locations), or because of other factors making it vulnerable to extinction or elimination. Typically 21 to 100 occurrences or between 3,000 and 10,000 individuals.
The ranking is inexact.
The distinctiveness of this entity as a taxon at the current level is questionable.
Rhizomatous perennial from subterranean crown; stems several, to 5 dm long, decumbent and radiating, branching from lower nodes, forming broad, depressed clumps; herbage greenish-gray; lower stipules connate; leaves 2.5-10 cm long; leaflets numerous,...
