Note: For many non-migratory species, occurrences are roughly equivalent to populations.
Estimated Number of Occurrences: 21 - 80
Comments: Brazoria arenaria is represented at major Texas herbaria by about 40 specimens representing a roughly equal number of occurrences. Additional survey effort will no doubt raise the number of historic and extant occurrences to near 100.

Rounded Global Status Rank: G3 - Vulnerable
Reasons: Brazoria arenaria is a regional endemic to sandy regions of southern Texas; known from fewer than 100 occurrences, a number of which are historical. Land conversion to pastures is a general threat to this species.

Comments: Specific threats to the taxon are unknown. Generic threats that will eventually pertain in the northern fraction of the range, e.g., loss of habitat to urban and recreational development, are not currently foreseeable in the much larger southern balance of the range. In that region, generic threats involve alteration of the natural landscape, and its scattered bare areas, to a cultured pasture landscape dominated by exotic grasses. Threats, if any, from grazing animals are unknown.

Global Range: Brazoria arenaria is endemic to sandy regions of South Texas, including the Holocene Sand Sheet as well as Pleistocene and perhaps modern barrier islands. There are specimen records from Aransas, Brooks, Hidalgo, Jim Hogg, Jim Wells, Kenedy, Kleberg, Nueces, Refugio and San Patricio counties (Lundell, 1969; TEX-LL, 1998; BRIT/SMU, 1999).
