		Major threats to the continued existence of Trifolium trichocalyx include alteration of natural fire cycles, a proposed development that overlaps with the southern portion of the habitat for the clover (as mapped in 1988), and stochastic extinction due to the small amount of remaining habitat and the ephemeral nature of the plant's reappearance after fires.
		Anniella with dark dorsums, possibly intergrades with the silvery legless lizard, have been collected north of the Salinas River and more than 160 km (100 miles) to the south in the Morro Bay and Pismo Beach areas (Miller 1943); the taxonomy of Anniella in these intergrade areas is unclear.
