because "erysimum menziesii" ssp. "concinnum" has been included within this species since it received its federal listing as "erysimum concinnum", the species is now technically more abundant than it was then, but there is no current reliable estimate of the species' abundance now. in 1997, there were about 22 occurrences containing 33,000 individuals, not counting ssp. "concinnum".
