Upper Amazon Basin. When the Recovery Plan was written, the population at Amazon <br />Par was only thought to consist of 750 flowering plants. However, with an estimated <br />occurrence of over 10,000 flowering plants at Amazon Park (B. Newhouse, pers. comm.) <br />and an unknown number along Amazon Creek on school district property, the Upper <br />Amazon Basin may be more important than was anticipated. <br />Not only is the Bradshaw's lomatium population larger than originally thought, but its . <br />geographic location may also provide an important link between other populations in the <br />We t Eugene and Southeastern Recovery Areas. The urban nature of the area between <br />thes two recovery areas provides few other similar opportunities. ' <br />VI.
