Rare plants are like canaries in coal mines: they are ind icator species of environmental impacts to their respective ecosystems, whi ch, if ignored or left unattended, could result in the destruction of those unique habitats. Each one has its own story of endangerment: from the Pres idio manzanita, with only one naturally occurring specimen in the wild but reproduced from cuttings in the native nursery trade; to the Cushenbury buc kwheat, restricted to limestone soils and threatened by mining; to the slen der-horned spineflower, once common on alluvial fans in Southern California and now extremely endangered by sand and gravel mining and urban deve lopment. And

they need your help!
