Discussion
Frankenia johnstonii occurs in Starr, Webb, and Zapata counties in southern Texas and in northern Mexico. In 1984, it was federally listed as endangered; it was thought to occur in relatively few localities. Extensive surveys conducted in southern Texas by with the cooperation of local landowners revealed additional populations (G. K. Janssen 1999). In 2003, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service proposed to remove this species from the list of endangered plants. As of 2012, it had not yet been delisted.
