Astragalus endopterus, catalogado como especie extinta en un artículo reciente de Conservation Biology (Knapp et al. 2021), se encontró en abundancia después de tres horas de búsqueda especifica. Las búsquedas continuas revelaron miles de plantas. Nuestro trabajo ha duplicado el rango conocido de la especie. Astragalus endopterus parece ocurrir principalmente en depósitos de láminas compuestos de partículas derivadas principalmente de arenas arrastradas por el viento junto con un componente de arcilla probablemente derivado de la Formación Chinle. No tenemos evidencia que indique que pudo haber estado en declive o al borde de la extinción.
