This recovery plan describes criteria for determining when Gierisch mallow (Sphaeralcea gierischii) should be considered for reclassification from endangered to threatened status and to recovered status, lists site-specific actions that will be necessary to meet those criteria, and estimates the time required and costs to carry out those measures needed for recovery. Additionally, information on the species鈥� biology and status is included, along with a brief discussion of factors limiting its populations. A Species Status Assessment (SSA) report, which provides a more detailed accounting of the species鈥� status, biology, and threats, and a Recovery Implementation Strategy (RIS), which describes the activities to implement the recovery actions, are available online at the . The SSA report and the RIS will be updated as necessary
