Idaho governor, ranchers dispute slickspot peppergrass listing
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is expected to list slickspot peppergrass (Lepidium papilliferum), a rare flowering plant found in southwest Idaho's desert and other areas of the state, as threatened on Dec. 7, a decision that is being fought by Gov. C.L. "Butch" Otter, and the Idaho ranchers who helped develop the state's "candidate species conservation plan" for the plant that received federal approval.
