In 2017, complete the study begun in 2016 to characterize the population genetic structure, gene flow, and genetic diversity for willowy monardella occurrences (see occurrence table). The study will determine if there is evidence of mixed ploidy levels within or among occurrences; evaluate vulnerability of occurrences to genetic drift and loss of genetic diversity; assess the level of gene flow among occurrences; identify if there are signatures of genetic bottlenecks or low genetic diversity in occurrences that have undergone recent reductions; and look for evidence of local population adaptation. Based on the results of the genetic analyses, management recommendations will include whether common garden and reciprocal transplantations are necessary before proceeding with population enhancement or restoration and will provide specific recommendations for collecting and redistributing or bulking seed to enhance existing occurrences or establish new occurrences.

Population Genetic Analysis of 6 Rare Plant Species in San Diego County
The first phase (years 1-2) of this research task focused on genetic and cytological screening to determine potential ploidy and population genetic differences among occurrences within species. Upon completion, an expert panel convened to review results of the genetic studies and develop specific recommendations for each species relative to the MSP management objectives planned for that species. These recommendations included designing appropriate common garden or reciprocal transplant studies to determine the fitness consequences of using seed from different populations to increase population size or establish new occurrences. The recommendations also addressed MSP objectives involving seed banking and seed bulking needs for each species. The expert panel also made recommendations on genetic management of populations, including whether genetic connectivity needs to be enhanced or restored to maintain or increase genetic diversity. Recommended and approved studies will be added in the second phase (beginning in year 3). The following questions were specifically addressed in phase 1:
1. What is the status of documented occurrences?
2. Is there evidence of mixed ploidy levels among or within occurrences?
3. What is current genetic structure among and within occurrences in the MSPA? How vulnerable are the occurrences to genetic drift and loss of genetic diversity and is there gene flow between occurrences?
4. Are there signatures of genetic bottlenecks or lower genetic diversity in populations that have undergone recent reductions due to fire, drought, or other causes, or evidence of local adaptation?
5. Based on the cytological and genetic analysis, what are the recommendations for common garden and reciprocal transplantations, for collecting, bulking and distributing seeds for enhancing existing occurrences, and for establishing new occurrences?

Rare Plant Inspect and Manage Monitoring 2014-2026
From 2014-2026, a Management and Monitoring Strategic Plan (MSP Roadmap) monitoring objective for 30 rare plant species is to inspect occurrences to determine management needs. The inspect and manage (IMG) objective is implemented to document the status of rare plant occurrences and assess habitats and threats to develop specific management recommendations. IMG monitoring is implemented by a combination of land managers and contracted biologists in coordination with the SDMMP. Available rare plant data is posted below. New annual updates are typically posted in March. Based upon an evaluation of these data, a 2014-2026 monitoring schedule has been developed for the 30 rare plant species (attached below). Coordinating data collection across the region allows analyses of species and population trends over time and provides a better understanding of the association between habitat and threat covariates and population dynamics.

Rare Plant Management and Seed Plan
MSP Roadmap 2019 and 2020 objectives include developing a Management Strategic Plan Framework Rare Plant Management Plan for Conserved Lands in Western San Diego County and a Management Strategic Plan Seed Collection, Banking, and Bulking Plan for Conserved Lands in Western San Diego County. These plans include general sections with background information and rationale for prioritizing and developing management recommendations with separate chapters and specific recommendations for priority species. In 2019, general framework sections were developed along with species chapters for San Diego thornmint, Nuttall's acmispon, salt marsh bird's-beak and Otay tarplant (CBI, AECOM and SDMMP 2020 a,b). In 2020, chapters will be developed for short-leaved dudleya, Orcutt's spineflower, and willowy monardella. These plans are developed with input and guidance provided by the Rare Plant Management Group Steering Committee and species working groups. Participants in these groups include landowners and managers, scientists, species experts, restoration specialists, seed collection and banking practitioners, and representatives from non-profit organizations and wildlife agencies. These plans are based on the latest scientific information for species on habitat relationships, ecology, genetics, seed collection guidelines, and best management practices. Occurrence-specific management recommendations are based on working group input and multiple years of Inspect and Manage monitoring data on population status, habitat associations and threats. These are living documents as new species chapters are added as they are developed and existing chapters are revised when new information becomes available or management actions are completed, and new recommendations are needed.

A narrow endemic that persists in small isolated occurrences within three watersheds north of Kearny Mesa in San Diego County [1].
Within MSPA, found on Conserved Lands in MUs 4 and 6 [2]. There are natural occurrences in Sycamore, West Sycamore, and Lopez Canyons and translocated occurrences in Flanders and Lopez Canyons. Outside the MSPA, Marine Corps Air Station Miramar supports the majority of occurrences for this species.
FE/CE
Found in coastal sage scrub and riparian scrub in sandy bottoms and on banks of ephemeral washes in canyons where surface water flows for usually less than 48 hours [3]. Soil requirements include coarse sandy grains and sediments and cobble deposits [4]. Sustained by processes of perennial streams. Needs semi-open canopies with limited herbaceous understory. Associated with California buckwheat (E. fasciculatum), sycamore (P. racemosa), coast live oak (Q. agrifolia), California sagebrush (A. californica), and broom baccharis (B. sarathroides) [4].
In mint family (Lamiaceae). Based on morphology and habitat affinities, a change of rank and circumscription was made for Willowy Monardella; two species recognized, M. viminea (Willowy monardella) and M. stoneana Elvin & Sanders (Jennifer’s monardella) [1]. Genetic analysis supports the two taxa as genetically distinct [5]. USFWS recognized the split of Monardella linoides ssp. viminea, into two distinct full species.[3] USFWS retained the listing status of Monardella viminea as endangered, and removed protections from the individuals now recognized as the separate species, Monardella stoneana, because the latter did not meet the definition of endangered or threatened under the Act [3].
Perennial herbaceous plant with woody base and aromatic foliage. Short-lived, producing new cohort of aerial stems each year from a persisting perennial root structure. Willowy monardella branches arise from trailing stems, so plants tend to grow in groupings or “clumps,†rather than as discrete plants [6]. Found in small and declining populations [7].
Mature plants flower readily (June to August), with flower heads persisting for 10-12 weeks [1].
Very little is known about germination and establishment [7]. No pollination studies known; however, other Monardella taxa are visited by butterfly and bee species [7]. Hummingbirds observed visiting flowers [8]. Seeds are small with a hard seed coat and may fall directly below existing plants after setting [9]. Little known about dispersal; however, seeds and vegetative shoots are believed to be transported by flowing water [10].
Urban development, sand and gravel mining, off-road vehicle use, trampling, fire, erosion, changes to hydrologic regimes, invasive plants, and trash dumping are major threats to this species [7]. Climate change likely to exacerbate threats and may introduce additional threats. Given limited distribution and abundance, more vulnerable to natural catastrophes and stochastic demographic, genetic, and environmental events than species with larger ranges and/or abundance. Genetic effects may further influence population demography via inbreeding depression and genetic drift [11]. Because already small populations may not be able to persist, unlikely that even populations protected in reserves will retain long-term viability if other threats affecting extant populations are not managed or removed [12]. The population appears to be declining with little indication as to the cause. Changing precipitation patterns and hydrologic process are likely a major factor.
At time of listing, 20 occurrences considered to be extant in the United States. In 2008, 9 occurrences were considered extirpated, leaving 11 extant occurrences. Based on information from MCAS Miramar, two additional occurrences have since been extirpated. As a result of taxonomic changes, two southernmost occurrences were reclassified as M. stoneana [3]. Thus, there are now only seven occurrences, most of which are small and fragmented by surrounding development; as of 2008, these seven occurrences were considered to be declining in size [9]. Willowy monardella was transplanted to four sites within historical range as a conservation measure to offset impacts associated with development of Carroll Canyon Business Park. Transplanted sites are in Carroll, Flanders and San Clemente Canyons [13]. Plants at these four sites have experienced low survival. Historically and currently, few surveys exist that indicate numbers of plants present across all known occurrences. Because it is perennial and reproduces vegetatively to some extent [1], a decline in a population due to lack of seedling establishment may be difficult to detect. Some occurrences may consist mostly of older plants and thus show little or no capacity for recruitment. Conservation needs for this species include research to determine why willowy monardella is declining and to develop measures to decrease further decline. Viable willowy monardella seeds should be collected and sent to a seed bank operating
