The “pad ready” site would be raised to an elevation of approximately 974 feet Mean Sea Level (MSL). The elevation of this “pad ready” site would eliminate the primary barrier to making the site eligible for industrial development. (see Attachment A). TVA contribution would be 50 percent of the estimated total cost. The primary purpose of this project is to prepare an industrial site in the Fort Payne Industrial Park in DeKalb County, Alabama.

    Pub. No. 50 December 2016 Federally Protected Plant Species In Georgia Dr. Kim D. Coder, Professor of Tree Biology & Health Care Warnell School of Forestry & Natural Resources, University of Georgia Endangered and threatened species of plants are given federal protection under regulations and agreements stemming from the Endangered Species Act, as amended. Federal protection includes individuals of a listed species, habitats essential for their survival, and specific limitations on pesticide use. This publication lists endangered and threatened plant species by scientific name, common name, federal listing status, and general Georgia county name locations. Figure 1 is a map giving county locations of federally protected plant species in Georgia by identification number. This publication was developed for educational purposes and is not a regulatory document. The State of Georgia (Department of Natural Resources) maintains a com- plete list of both federal and state endangered, threatened, rare and unusual plant species for Georgia. Included at the end of this publication are plant species with a federal status of "candidate," or "in a petition process," for potential listing. Figure 2.

    Flora of the Carolinas, Virginia, and Georgia, Working Draft of 17 March 2004 -- ACORACEAE

    Flora of the Carolinas, Virginia, and Georgia, Working Draft of 17 March 2004 -- ACORACEAE ACORACEAE Martinov 1820 (Calamus Family) The family consists only of Acorus. References: Thompson in FNA (2000); Bogner & Mayo in Kubitzki (1998b). Acorus Linnaeus 1753 (Calamus, Sweetflag) A genus of 2-4 species, widespread in north temperate and subtropical regions. Although traditionally treated as part of the Araceae, recent evidence strongly suggests that Acorus should be segregated in a separate family. A wide variety of morphological, anatomical, and embryological evidence supports the segregation of the Acoraceae (Grayum 1987), a segregation additionally supported by molecular studies (Duvall et al. 1993, Chase et al. 1993). The spathe in Acorus is not morphologically equivalent to the spathe of the Araceae.

    First Miocene megafossil of arrowhead, alismataceous plant Sagittaria, from South America JUAN M. ROBLEDO, SILVINA A. CONTRERAS, JOHANNA S. BAEZ, and CLAUDIA I. GALLI Robledo, J.M., Contreras, S.A., Baez, J.S., and Galli, C.I. 2021. First Miocene megafossil of arrowhead, alismataceous plant Sagittaria, from South America. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 66 (Supplement to 3): S111–S122. The first pre-Quaternary representative of Alismataceae from South America is reported based on achenes of Sagittaria montevidensis from the Palo Pintado Formation (upper Miocene) in the south of Salta Province, Argentina. Achenes are laterally compressed, have a lateral beak and a single recurved seed inside them. The fruits were found both in the base (10 Ma) and the top of the formation (~5 Ma), suggesting similar environmental conditions during this time period. A cursory review of the Alismataceae family in the fossil record, with a special interest in those South American reports is given. During the Oligocene–Miocene Sagittaria may have arrived from tropical Africa to South America and thence to North America.
