	SMOOTH CONEFLOWER, Echinacea laevigata, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service
		Natural fires, as well as large herbivores, are part of the history of the vegetation in this species' range; many of the associated herbs are also cormophytic, sun-loving species, which depend on periodic disturbances to reduce the shade and competition of woody plants (Kral 1983 and Gaddy 1991).
		The most serious threats to the species' continued existence are collecting, residential and industrial development, encroachment of woody vegetation, highway construction and improvement, and certain types of roadside and power line right-of-way maintenance.
		Without such periodic disturbance, this type of habitat is gradually overtaken and eliminated by shrubs and trees of the adjacent woodlands.
