Maine's Endangered and Threatened Plants
University of Southern Maine USM Digital Commons Maine Collection 1990 Maine's Endangered and Threatened Plants Maine State Planning Office Follow this and additional works at: https://digitalcommons.usm.maine.edu/me_collection Part of the Biodiversity Commons, Botany Commons, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Commons, Forest Biology Commons, Forest Management Commons, Other Forestry and Forest Sciences Commons, Plant Biology Commons, and the Weed Science Commons Recommended Citation Maine State Planning Office, "Maine's Endangered and Threatened Plants" (1990). Maine Collection. 49. https://digitalcommons.usm.maine.edu/me_collection/49 This Book is brought to you for free and open access by USM Digital Commons. It has been accepted for inclusion in Maine Collection by an authorized administrator of USM Digital Commons. For more information, please contact [email protected]. BACKGROUND and PURPOSE In an effort to encourage the protection of native Maine plants that are naturally reduced or low in number, the State Planning Office has compiled a list of endangered and threatened plants. Of Maine's approximately 1500 native vascular plant species, 155, or about 10%, are included on the Official List of Maine's Plants that are Endangered or Threatened. Of the species on the list, three are also listed at the federal level. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. has des·ignated the Furbish's Lousewort (Pedicularis furbishiae) and Small Whorled Pogonia (lsotria medeoloides) as Endangered species and the Prairie White-fringed Orchid (Platanthera leucophaea) as Threatened. Listing rare plants of a particular state or region is a process rather than an isolated and finite event. -

Journal of the Oklahoma Native Plant Society, Volume 9, December 2009
4 Oklahoma Native Plant Record Volume 9, December 2009 VASCULAR PLANTS OF SOUTHEASTERN OKLAHOMA FROM THE SANS BOIS TO THE KIAMICHI MOUNTAINS Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate College of the Oklahoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy May 1969 Francis Hobart Means, Jr. Midwest City, Oklahoma Current Email Address: [email protected] The author grew up in the prairie region of Kay County where he learned to appreciate proper management of the soil and the native grass flora. After graduation from college, he moved to Eastern Oklahoma State College where he took a position as Instructor in Botany and Agronomy. In the course of conducting botany field trips and working with local residents on their plant problems, the author became increasingly interested in the flora of that area and of the State of Oklahoma. This led to an extensive study of the northern portion of the Oauchita Highlands with collections currently numbering approximately 4,200. The specimens have been processed according to standard herbarium procedures. The first set has been placed in the Herbarium of Oklahoma State University with the second set going to Eastern Oklahoma State College at Wilburton. Editor’s note: The original species list included habitat characteristics and collection notes. These are omitted here but are available in the dissertation housed at the Edmon-Low Library at OSU or in digital form by request to the editor. [SS] PHYSICAL FEATURES Winding Stair Mountain ranges.

A List of Vascular Plant Species in the Nova Scotia Flora
A list of vascular plant species in the Nova Scotia flora AFTER the page below was posted, The Atlantic Canada Conservation Data Centre posted their authoritative lists of Species Ranks for vascualar and non-vascular plants and for invertebrate and vertebrate animals for each of the Atlantic Provinces. See ACCDC Species Ranks. The page below remains posted for the time-being, but visitors are advised that the ACCDC Species Ranks pages are the better ones to consult. A list of native and naturalized vascular plant species in Nova Scotia was generated from Wild Species 2005: The General Status of Species in Canada using the General Status Search Tool. See Wild Species 2005:General Status Summaries:Vascular Plants for details about the listings. The Report parameters were: Report: "Ferns (2005), Orchids (2005), Vascular Plants (2005)" Status: "At risk, May be at risk, Sensitive, Secure, Undetermined, Not assessed, Exotic" Range: "NS" A total of 1657 records matched those criteria. The conservation rankings and number of species within each rank were as follows: Rank Description No. Species 1 At Risk 8 2 May Be At Risk 127 3 Sensitive 136 4 Secure 694 5 Undetermined 96 6 Not Assessed 0 7 Exotic 596 The list is convenient for looking up scientific names of species for which you have a common name or vice versa, also to see a list of all species within a family. Use your browser's FIND function to find a name within the page. Limitations Please note that only one common name for each species is given, also that synonyms for the scientific names are not listed. -

Natureserve Rare Plant Prioritization North Atlantic LCC Final Report
Final Report* To the North Atlantic Landscape Conservation Cooperative Grant Title Prioritization and Conservation Status of Rare Plants in the North Atlantic Grant Program and Number Grant NALCC, 2015-7 Organization NatureServe Project Leader Anne Frances [email protected] Abstract The North Atlantic Region of the United States and Canada boasts diverse habitats, from coasts to mountains, that support endemic and rare plant species. However, recent conservation actions and prioritization efforts in this region have neglected to include plants. We conducted a broad-scale conservation assessment for vascular plants that occur in the North Atlantic Landscape Conservation Cooperative (NALCC). The primary outcome is a prioritized list of rare, highly threatened, declining, or sensitive plant species identified for conservation action. In close collaboration with Natural Heritage Botanists and other partners, we developed a list of vascular plant taxa of conservation concern for the region. We used the best available scientific data including Element Occurrences, published literature, and expert knowledge to develop a comprehensive list of over 3,135 vascular plant taxa for prioritization. This list of potential taxa was narrowed to approximately 1,200 taxa that were evaluated for their conservation priority in the North Atlantic region. For each taxon, we developed regional ranks (R-ranks), updated Global Ranks, documented threats and trends, and identified gaps in conservation knowledge. Of the evaluated taxa, 431 had R-ranks of R1 (Regionally Critically Imperiled), R2 (Regionally Imperiled), or R3 (Regionally Vulnerable). This group of 431 vascular plants were determined to be the highest conservation priorities for the NALCC. *This report was revised December 2017 to clarify methodology for obtaining spatial data under the section “Generating a Comprehensive List of Rare Vascular Plants” under Objective One. -
ACCDC Reports Known Observations of Rare and Endangered Flora and Fauna, in and Near a Specified Study Area
DATA REPORT 4923: McLellan's Brook, NS Prepared 15 October, 2012 by S.L. Robinson, Data Manager CONTENTS OF REPORT 1.0 Preface 1.1 Restrictions 1.2 Additional Information 2.0 Rare and Endangered Taxa 2.1 Flora 2.2 Fauna Map 1: Flora and Fauna 3.0 Special Areas 3.1 Managed Areas 3.2 Significant Areas Map 2: Special Areas 4.0 Taxa Lists 4.1 Fauna 4.2 Flora 4.3 Range Maps 5.0 Source Bibliography 1.0 PREFACE The Atlantic Canada Conservation Data Centre (ACCDC) is part of a network of circa 85 NatureServe data centres and heritage programs in 50 states, 10 provinces and 1 territory, plus several Central and South American countries. The NatureServe network is more than 30 years old and shares a common conservation data methodology. The ACCDC was founded in 1997, and maintains data for the jurisdictions of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland and Labrador. Although a non-governmental agency, the ACCDC is supported by 6 federal agencies, plus 4 provincial governments, outside grants and data processing fees. URL: www.ACCDC.com . Upon request and for a fee, the ACCDC reports known observations of rare and endangered flora and fauna, in and near a specified study area. As a supplement to that data, the ACCDC includes locations of managed areas with some level of protection, and also known sites of ecological interest. Data summarised in each report is attached as DBF files which may be opened from within data software (Excel, Access) or mapped in GIS (ArcView, MapInfo, AutoCAD).
