SCIENTIFIC NAME: Epjpactjs qiqantea Dougl. ex Hook. 2. COMMON NAME: giant helleborine, chatterbox. 3. FJ^ILY: Orchidaceae (Orchid Family). 4. GENUS: Epipactis qiqantea is one of approximately a dozen species in the genus that occur in temperate areas. Two of these species occur in North America, while the rest are found in Eurasia. A species native to Europe, Epipactis helleborine (helleborine) has escaped cultivation and become established in both eastern and western North America (Williams and Williams, 1983) . In the west it is found in Victoria, Vancouver Island, Canada and Lewis and Clark County Montana (Hitchcock et al . , 1964). 5. SPECIES: Epipactis qiqantea was first described by Douglas in 1839 as occurring in the subalpine regions of the Blue and Rocky Mountains of northwest North America (Hitchcock et al . , 1964). It is found in seepage areas and along streambanks, and is predominantly associated with thermal waters (especially along the northern edge of its range) . Epipactis helleborine is similar in form, but differs in having smaller flowers and a smaller, unlobed lip, and is established more often in disturbed areas. B. PRESENT LEGAL OR OTHER FORMAL STATUS 1. FEDERAL STATUS a. U.S. FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE: Epipactis qiqantea currently has no designation. b. U.S. FOREST SERVICE: The U.S. Forest Service list of sensitive species for Region 1 (Northern Region) currently includes Epipactis qiqantea (USDA Forest Service, 1988) . Objectives and policy of the U.S. Forest Service provide for the management and protection of sensitive species under sections 2670.22 and 2670.32 in the 1984 Forest Service Manual. Under these guidelines the Forest Service is to: (a) "(m)aintain viable populations of all native species of plants" (2670.22), and to (b) "(a) void or minimize impacts to species whose viability has been identified as a concern" (2670.32.3) . STATE: Epipactis qiqantea is currently listed by the Montana Natural Heritage Program as "apparently secure globally, though it may be quite rare in parts of its range" (over 100 occurrences; global rank = G4) . In Montana, it is listed as "endangered in state" (6-20 occurrences; state rank = S2) . These Heritage Program ranks do not provide any direct legal protection for this species. C. DESCRIPTION GENERAL NONTECHNICAL DESCRIPTION: Giant helleborine (Epipactis qiqantea) is a tall orchid with leafy stems, which reach 3 feet in height. Abundant sword- shaped leaves, to 8 inches long, clasp the tall, usually unbranched stems. Numerous flowers are borne in a leafy-bracted inflorescence at the tops of stems. Flowers have a sac-like lip petal that is reddish-brown. The two upper lance-shaped petals are also reddish brown, but with a greenish tinge. Three lance-shaped sepals subtend the flowers and are light green with a brownish tinge. Epipactis qiqantea is a perennial plant that grows from a rhizome each year. In Montana this species usually flowers in June or July. Capsules ripen later in the season, and release many thousands of tiny seeds before the stems die back to the rhizomes to overwinter. See Section V, pp. 37-42, for color photos of plants and habitat. 2. TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION: Stems 1 to many from short rhizomes, mostly 3-7 (up to 12) dm. tall; leaves numerous, sheathing, the lowest blades almost lacking, gradually enlarged upwards, almost glabrous to scabridulous-puberulent, broadly elliptic-lanceolate, mostly 7-14 (19) cm. long and 1.5-5 (7) cm. broad; flowers 3-15, rather showy, raceme usually secund, bracts usually reduced upwards, but even the uppermost one usually exceeding the ovary; sepals coppery- green, lightly brownish-veined, 12-16 mm. long; petals similar to the sepals, but thinner, and (at least venation) more brownish-purple; lip 15-20 mm. long, the sac with prominent, raised, purplish lines leading to the base, three-lobed, outer (basal) lobes prominent, porrect, the blade (central lobe) about as long as the basal lobes, curved downward somewhat, triangular- ovate, tip flattened but with uprolled margins, greenish-yellow, basal portion much thickened, yellow, the margins thickened and erect, with I numerous linear callosities leading into the sac; column 6-9 mm. long; anther 4-5 mm. long; capsule reflexed, 2-3.5 cm. long (adapted from Hitchcock et al . , 1964). 3. LOCAL FIELD CHARACTERS: Epipactis qiqantea is distinguished by its tall leafy stems and numerous- flowered racemes. However, the reddish-green flowers blend in with background vegetation and are not easily noticed. Except for E. helleborine. no other species resembles E. qiqantea. As stated above, E. helleborine has escaped from cultivation and become established in Montana in Lewis and Clark County. It is distinguished from E. qiqantea by its smaller flowers, and a smaller, unlobed lip. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION 1. RANGE: Epipactis qiqantea is widely distributed from British Columbia south to Baja California, east to the Rocky Mountains and south to Mexico (Brunton, 1986) . However, populations within this large area are sparse. Within Region 1 of the U.S. Forest Service, it has been located on the Flathead National Forest in Montana. A distribution map for E. qiqantea within Montana is in Figure 1, p. 4. 2. CURRENT SITES (MONTANA): The 1988 field surveys in Montana revealed five previously unknown occurrences for E. qiqantea. This brings the total number of recently documented sites in Montana to ten. Six populations are recorded from Lake County, two from Flathead County, one from Carbon County, and one from Granite County. The legal descriptions, latitude and longitude, elevations, USGS topographic map names, and locations of sites in Montana are provided in Table 1, pp. 5-6. This table is broken down into sections; Table lA contains those sites that occur wholly or partially on U.S. Forest Service lands, and Table IB contains sites that occur on lands of other ownership. Complete Element Occurrence records on these sites are found in Section IV, pp. 19-29. Also, the exact locations are indicated on the maps provided in Section IV, pp. 30-36. Field surveys were conducted in 1984 by Peter Lesica (The Nature Conservancy) and by the author on 5-14 July 1988.

ASSOCIATED VEGETATION: Epipactis qiqantea usually occurs in moist seeps, sometimes in calcareous soils and, often in areas of high vegetation cover, but usually where overstory cover is low. These sites are highly variable with respect to vegetation components and associated species. For example, sites in the Swan Valley are surrounded by forests composed of Picea engelmannii and Betula papyrifera. while the Nimrod Warm Springs (001) site is surrounded by shrubland, with a sparse cover of Pinus ponderosa and Pseudotsuga menziesii (Douglas fir) . Furthermore, the Bluewater Spring (003) site is surrounded by sagebrush grassland. A list of species found associated with E. qiqantea at the various sites follows: Alnus incana (thinleaf alder) Aster occidentalis (western aster) Betula qlandulosa (bog birch) Betula papyrifera (paper birch) Carex comosa (bristly sedge) Carex flava (yellow sedge) Centaurea maculosa (spotted knapweed) Cornus stolonifera (red osier dogwood) Equisetuin arvense (field horsetail) Habenaria dilatata (white bog-orchid) Helianthus nuttallii (Nuttall ' s sunflower) Menvanthes trifoliata (buckbean) Mimulus quttatus (common monkey-flower) Picea enqelmannii (Engelman spruce) Populus trichocarpa (black cottonwood) Rhamnus alnifolia (alder buckthorn) Rorippa nasturtium-aquaticum . (water cress) Salix sp (willow) Salix Candida (hoary willow) Scirpus sp (bulrush) Senecio trianqularis (arrowleaf groundsel) Thalictrum sp (meadowrue) Typha latifolia (common cattail) Ziqadenus eleqans (glaucous zigadenus) 2. TOPOGRAPHY: In Montana, populations of E. qiqantea are most often associated with warm springs, on level to gently sloping ground. One site was found on a steep slope; however, the plants at this site occurred in level zones on the slope. All slope aspects were represented. However, populations were often at least shaded for some parts of the day. The sites in Montana range from 945 m. (3,100 ft.) to 1250 m. (4,100 ft.) in elevation. 3. SOIL RELATIONSHIPS: Epipactis qiqantea is associated with spring seeps, and often occurs in the vicinity of warm springs as Luer (1975) suggests. Canada's largest known population is found along the margins of a hot spring, as were some recently extirpated populations in that country. The soils at these Canadian sites are calcareous, and are often composed of porous, exposed tufa or limestone bedrock (Brunton, 1986) . Although not specifically tested, the soils underlying many of the Montana populations may also be somewhat calcareous, as was evidenced by whitish precipitates coating rocks in the running water. The Nimrod Warm Springs (001) site appears to be on travertine deposits. 4. REGIONAL CLIMATE: Epipactis qiqantea is widely distributed across Montana, occurring in sagebrush grasslands in Carbon County and in spruce-fir forests in Lake County; thus, the sites have widely differing climatic conditions. The ability to tolerate a wide variety of conditions is further suggested by the wide range of the species, which extends from Canada to south-central Mexico (Luer, 1975) . In the northern parts of its range, this plant appears to 10 depend on perennial, often thermal seepage areas, which may allow it to persist in colder climates. P. POPULATION DEMOGRAPHY AND BIOLOGY 1. PHENOLOGY: This species flowers from March through August, depending on the latitude of the site (Luer, 1975) . In Montana, mid-June is the earliest date recorded for flowering (Bluewater Spring (003)), and flowering may extend into August (Nimrod Warm Springs (001)). 2. POPULATION SIZE AND CONDITION (MONTANA): Populations of E. qiqantea range in size from approximately 185 stems, up to 5,000+ stems. The average population size is approximately 1,000 stems. See Table 2., pp. 11-12, for information on population sizes and conditions in Montana. The amount of area inhabited by this species is most likely influenced, at least in Montana, by the extent of mineral, warm water springs. The average area covered by a population is about two acres. Thus, although populations might have a large number of stems, the total area covered by this species in Montana amounts to only approximately 21 acres. 3. REPRODUCTIVE BIOLOGY a. TYPE OF REPRODUCTION: Epipactis qiqantea produces numerous flowers, and is known to be an outcrossing species (Brunton, 1986) . It is also a perennial, and populations may enlarge by vegetative reproduction through extension of rhizomes. b. POLLINATION BIOLOGY: All species in the genus Epipactis offer nectar as an insect reward, thus they may exploit relatively unspecialized pollinators (Burns-Balogh et al. , 1987). A wide variety of insects are represented as pollinators; however, "the genus is regarded as ^wasp pollinated'" by Burns-Balogh et al . (1987) . Syrphid flies are the known pollinators of E. qiqantea (Luer, 1975; Brunton, 1986), but there may be others. c. SEED DISPERSAL AND BIOLOGY: All orchids produce capsules filled with numerous minute seeds (Hitchcock et ai. , 1969), which are most often dispersed by wind. The capsules of E. qiqantea are ellipsoid and pendent (Luer, 1975) , which 11 Table 2. Epipactis qiqantea population sizes and condition.

POPULATION ECOLOGY 1. BIOLOGICAL INTERACTIONS a. COMPETITION: Based on observations of known populations in Canada (where sites had low herbaceous vegetation cover) , Brunton (1986) felt that E. qigantea was a poor competitor. However, in Montana, many sites had very high herbaceous vegetation cover (see photographs, Section V, pp. 37-42) . It is the belief of the author that this species is tolerant of interspecific competition, and instead is limited by chemical, edaphic, or hydrological factors at sites where it occurs. For several subpopulations (Bond Creek (008)) where overstory shading was high, the number of flowering stems was reduced; thus, this species may not flower well in such habitats. b. HERBIVORY: The Montana populations are quite localized, and grazing does not currently appear to have affected them. There is no documentation on the effects of insect predation or disease in this species (Brunton, 1986) . H. LAND OWNERSHIP (MONTANA) 1. The land ownership for the 10 currently known populations in Montana is given below. The exact locations are provided in Table 1, pp. 5-6. a. U.S. Forest Service (Flathead National Forest): Swan Lake Ranger District Cilly Creek (002) Swan Lake (005) Bond Creek (008) Lower Fatty Creek Road (Oil) b. Department of State Lands: Krause Basin Road (009) Echo Lake (006) c. Private Land: Nimrod Warm Springs (001) Bluewater Spring (003) 14 Lower Grassy Creek (007) Stopper Creek (010) II. ASSESSMENT AND MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS A. THREATS TO CURRENTLY KNOWN POPULATIONS: 1. GRAZING: Both of the sites on State of Montana land (Echo Lake (006) and Krause Basin Road (009)) are included in grazing allotments. Neither site appeared to be severely impacted by grazing; however, there is a well used cattle trail just east of the latter population. 2. TIMBER HARVESTING: Epipactis qiqantea is likely to be impacted by timber harvesting through overstory removal and road building, either of which result in a modification of the hydrology of an area. Several sites (Echo Lake (006) , Stopper Creek (010) , Lower Fatty Creek Road (Oil)) have populations present in barrow pits along Forest Service roads. It is suspected that the Forest Service roadways were cut through areas previously populated by this species, but which then diverted the water flow to barrow pits. These populations may have been more extensive prior to road building activities. 3. WEED CONTROL ACTIVITIES: The same three populations listed above under timber harvesting, plus Swan Lake (005) and Nimrod Warm Springs (001) sites, are likely to be influenced by weed control owing to their proximity to Forest roadways or highways. Centaurea maculosa is currently invading the Nimrod Warm Springs site (001) . 4. RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES: The Nimrod Warm Springs site (001) is a popular area for swimmers, and this population may be threatened by their activities. B. MANAGEMENT PRACTICES AND RESPONSE: As stated previously, populations of Epipactis qiqantea appear to be restricted (at least in Montana) to warm water spring areas. This may be due in part to edaphic or chemical factors that are only found at these types of sites. Because of this restriction, it is necessary to limit any development at or near these sites that might change the water regime in the area. For example, of twelve previously known sites in Canada, three sites have already been lost to resort development, and another is threatened (Brunton, 1986) . One site is within the proposed Swan River Research Natural Area (Swan River (002)), and as such, is likely to I » 15 be adequately protected unless the surrounding forests are considered for logging. C. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR MAINTAINING VIABLE POPULATIONS: 1. Protection of natural habitats that currently support large populations. The following populations on U.S. Forest Service lands should be considered in any habitat alteration projects that may occur in or near these sites (especially logging and road-building or expansion) : Swan River (002) Swan Lake (005) Bond Creek (008) Lower Fatty Creek Road (Oil) Any proposed management actions within or near any of these sites should be preceded by detailed surveys of the populations in these areas; mitigation measures should be developed to reduce or eliminate the impacts of these activities. 2. Regulation of livestock grazing in native habitats supporting large populations. Grazing does not currently threaten any of the sites on Forest Service land; however, the state-owned Krause Basin Road (009) population is part of a grazing allotment, and near a heavily used cattle trail. This site should be monitored if management recommendations change in the future. D. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FURTHER ASSESSMENT: !• Establishment of monitoring studies on U.S. Forest Service lands. The Swan River (002) site would be appropriate for establishing monitoring transects to study the life-history traits of this species. Other potential studies might include an analysis of plant tissue and spring water to determine if specific minerals might be involved in the restriction of the plants to these sites. An analysis of thermal regimes at various sites, and tests to determine the ability of rhizomes to endure freezing conditions, might also provide some insight into the ecology of this orchid. Warm water seeps, or springs are potential sites for E. gigantea . and these should be checked for the orchids prescence. Glacier National Park may possibly harbor populations of this orchid. 16 E. SUMMARY Although Epipactis qiqantea is a widely distributed species, it is rare throughout its range because of its restriction to very specialized sites. Edaphic or chemical factors, as well as the presence of perennial water seepage, may be important in determining its distribution. Field surveys in Montana in 1988 revealed five previously unrecorded occurrences of this species, all within the lower Swan River Valley. Two of these sites are on Flathead National Forest lands, one is on State of Montana land and three are on private land. It is currently included on the sensitive species list for Region 1 (Northern Region) of the U.S. Forest Service. The species appears to be restricted to warm water springs across Montana, in a wide variety of vegetation types. This restriction, and the fact that several of the sites in Canada have been lost, and another is threatened by development, indicates a need to monitor populations. Several of the sites in Montana are also along National Forest roadways. Thus, it is important to take these areas into consideration when planning land use activities that may affect these populations. 17 III. LITERATURE CITED Brunton, D.F. 1986.
