About PLANTS Threatened & Endangered
PLANTS T&E provides access to state and federally protected plants. You can
view any of the following kinds of T&E plant lists, each with names linked
to plant profiles:
- The federal list
- The federal list for one or more states
- A state list
- A state list for multiple states
- A federal and state combination list
PLANTS T&E selects state protected plants based on where the plants are
protected, not on geographical distribution or endangerment status. If you
want to select plants based on these criteria--for example, all the plants
that occur in Georgia that are listed as endangered by any legal jurisdiction--please
use the Advanced
Search. However, PLANTS T&E selects federal protected plants by state
based on geographical distribution, so a report of federal and state protected
plants for Georgia lists the federal protected plants that occur in Georgia
and the plants that are protected by the state of Georgia.
Please keep in mind that not all states have laws that protect plants, so of
course there are no lists for those states. Also, we include some plants with
state designations such as extirpated or historical since these are listed by
the states, but these plants may not receive protection. You may want to check
details for these states by clicking on the reference links that are available
for each jurisdiction.
Finally, if a listed plant is a synonym in plants, endangerment status is
reported for the listed plant and the PLANTS accepted counterpart is also given.
