Helianthus paradoxus (Asteraceae) está incluida en la lista de especies amenazada en la Ley de especies amenazadas (ESA), mientras que Agalinis calycina (Orobanchaceae) está actualmente en consideración para ser incluida. Para documentar su distribución y abundancia en Bitter Lake National Wildlife Refuge (BLNWR), Nuevo México, llevamos a cabo un censo de H. paradoxus en 2018 y de A. calycina de 2018 a 2020. En 2018, H. paradoxus tenía una cobertura estimada de 41.32 ha, y aproximadamente 12,691,116 plantas, mientras que A. calycina tenia una cobertura de 1.45 ha, y aproximadamente 107,338 plantas. Aproximadamente 0.56 ha de la cobertura de A. calycina, con alrededor de 105,073 plantas, convergían con áreas ocupadas por H. paradoxus. Esto representó alrededor del 39% del área ocupada por A. calycina en 2018. En el 2019, no se encontró ningún individuo de A. calycina, y en 2020 los registros estuvieron limitados a algunos individuos. BLNWR es uno de los dos únicos sitios donde ambas plantas coexisten, pero la distribución de A. calycina en BLNWR es mucho más restringida que la de H. paradoxus, encontrándose solamente en unidades de humedal manejado. De acuerdo con censos anteriores, la abundancia de A. calycina varia mucho de año a año. Esfuerzos de monitoreo periódicos y exhaustivos (cada 5 años) son necesarios para evaluar su estatus y tendencia. Además, sugerimos el desarrollo de un índice que pueda caracterizar las condiciones de germinación y establecimiento de A. calycina como buenas, promedio, o condiciones pobres para evaluar efectivamente sus tendencias poblaciones a largo plazo.
