Spalding's Campion is a perennial herb in the Caryophyllaceae family (Pinks), and is endemic to Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, and southeastern British Columbia (B.C.). The population and distribution objectives for Spalding's Campion in Canada are to maintain, and where appropriate, increase the abundance of Spalding's Campion occurrences throughout its range in Canada, including any new occurrences that are identified. Broad strategies to address threats to the survival and recovery of Spalding's Campion are presented"--Executive summary, p. iv.
