| This species was listed as Federally Endangered in 1992, and since that time the number of plants in the two remaining populations has increased from approximately 1,000 plants to a little over 2,000 plants (USFWS 1992; Clark and Groebner 2000). Barneby's reed mustard is a perennial herbaceous plant found only in south-central Utah. Plants are 10-25 cm tall with smooth stems. Flowers are produces from late April to mid-June, produces on racemes that contain 2-28 flowers each. The sepals of these flowers are green to violet, with papery margins. The flowers themselves are whit to lavender, with conspicuous purplish veins. This species is in the Brassicaceae family, and it produces seed pods called siliques. (Clark and Groebner 2000)
