EASTERN STATES ENDANGERED PLANTS
Introduction
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is vitally concerned with the protection
and management of threatened and endangered plant habitat in the Eastern
United States. Its responsibilities encompass approximately 60,000 acres of
public land, thousands of islands and over 39 million acres of subsurface
mineral rights.
EASTERN STATES ENDANGERED PLANTS provides lists of all Federal and state
listed threatened and endangered species in the 31 states adjoining and east
of the Mississippi River. The publication also contains county locational
information for many of the listed plants, drawings and descriptions of the
federally listed plants, bibliographies and names of agencies to contact for
further information.
EASTERN STATES ENDANGERED PLANTS may be useful to more than just government
employees preparing environmental reports. Any botanist, ecologist,
forester, zoning officer, city planner, reclamation specialist or student may
find this information helpful. The status information contained here is
current as of March 1980.
I. Why We're Concerned
Background
The plant kingdom forms an essential and irreplaceable component of man's
environment. A wide diversity of plant species are needed to vegetate
the many diverse habitats of the world and maintain ecological stability.
As diversity decreases, stability decreases. Man has learned that
agricultural and forest monocultures create ecological instability
causing environmental problems.
At least 90 species of plants have become extinct or nearly extinct in
the United States during the last two hundred years. Many more hundreds
of species of plants are known to be in danger of extinction. It was not
until 1973 that the U.S. Government acknowledged the seriousness of this
loss of plant diversity by passing legislation known as the Endangered
Species Act of 1973. The Act provided a means of protecting plants
deemed to be in danger of extinction, as well as their dependent
ecosystems.
Bureau of Land Management Responsibilities in the Eastern United States
The Bureau of Land Management has management and leasing responsibilities
for millions of acres of subsurface mineral rights in the East. The care
that is taken to locate the endangered plants and to protect their
habitats during minerals development will have a significant effect on
the endangered plants populations in the Eastern United States.
In" August, 1971, the Secretary of the Interior issued a memorandum that
outlined the Department's policy towards endangered species. He told
Interior's employees: "I expect you to encourage, plan and carry out
deliberate, aggressive programs to benefit endangered species which occur
on lands you administer, which use habitat under your control, or which
may be affected by your programs. In addition, I expect you to take
whatever actions are necessary to prevent any native animal from becoming
endangered." BLM Manual 6840 states the Bureau's responsibilities for
protection of endangered species. BLM Instruction Memorandum No. 79-64
clearly states, The Endangered Species act of 1973... added a
requirement that endangered or threatened plants be identified and
conserved.... The official Federal listing of a plant species (as
endangered or threatened) creates a non-discretionary, legally binding
obligation on the part of BLM to use all it's authorities to prevent the
extinction of the plants as well as to avoid any action which would
jeopardize the species' existence."
BLM cooperates closely with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and state
natural resource agencies to identify endangered and threatened species.
In its planning process, BLM highlights the location and condition of
endangered species habitat and, on BLM administered public lands,
suggests methods of maintaining or enhancing this habitat. BLM can
designate endangered or rare species habitat areas as Areas of Critical
Environmental Concern and provide special protection to the plants and
their habitat. During the environmental assessment process, BLM
identifies impacts of its proposed actions on endangered species. The
identification of endangered species often results in the modification or
rejection of proposals that are thought to significantly impact
endangered species.
FEDERALLY LISTED ENDANGERED AND THREATENED PLANTS
The Endangered Species Office of the Fish and Wildlife Service is responsible
for the direction of the Federal Endangered Species Program. The Endangered
Species Office systematically lists plants as endangered or threatened. The
listing process is continuous and the plant list is periodically updated.
Listing changes can result in additions to the list, deletions from the list
or changes in status of plants on the list. A primary goal of the program is
to identify the habitat of endangered or threatened plants and protect
critical habitat areas.
At the time this publication was prepared, there were ten plants listed as
endangered or threatened in the Eastern United States. A drawing of each
plant has been included in this section of the report along with a
description of the plant, its range and its habitat.

Harper's Beauty
Harperocallis flava
A perennial herb with stiff leaves and a solitary yellow
flower. Each flower has six petals, six stamens, and a
superior ovary, typical of the lily family. Petals are yellow
above, greenish beneath and become entirely green when the
plant is in fruit. Flowering occurs from mid-April through
May and fruits are mature in July. When not in flower,
Harperocallis looks very similar to Narthecium and some
species of Toliedia.
Found at three locations all within the Apalachicola National
Forest in Franklin and Liberty Counties, Florida.
Found along moist roadside ditches and in open pineland bogs.
Seems to be most closely associated with buckwheat tree
(Clif tonia monophylla) and odorless bayberry (Myrica
inodora) . In wetter situations, associated with trumpet
pitcherplant Sarracenia flava, parrot pitcherplant
(S. psittacina) and pleea (Pleea tenuifolia). Pond pine
(pinus serotina) is the most prevalent tree species associated
with these bog habitats.

STATE LISTED ENDANGERED AND THREATENED PLANTS
The Bureau of Land Management will accord official state listed species the
full protection that the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended,
requires. This means the Bureau will make an intensive search for the
official state listed plants in all areas where projects are planned which
could have a significant impact on the listed plants or their habitat.
However, the BLM State Director may determine that current information on the
occurrence of a plant species is adequate to allow a specific action.
The 31 states within the jurisdiction of Eastern States BLM are in various
stages of their endangered plant programs. Nine states have official
endangered plant lists. By official list, we mean a list which has passed
the legislature and offers protection for the listed species. These nine
states include Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, New York,
Ohio, Vermont, and Wisconsin. Many other states have developed endangered
plant lists but they have not been passed by their legislature, and therefore
are not protected by any laws or regulations. Some states are presently
conducting field inventories to determine which plants are rare and in need
of protection.
Over the past decade, many animals have been classified as endangered.
However, listing plants as endangered or threatened is a relatively new idea.
Many people are not aware of the need to protect rare plants and therefore do
not support legislation to protect them. With increased public awareness and
educational programs, people may become more receptive to the need to protect
their native flora.
31
• , ALABAMA
Status: Unofficial List
Alabama does not have an official endangered plant list which has been
approved by the legislature and offers protection to it's rare plants.
However, in 1976 a symposium was held by the Game and Fish Division of the
Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources and the University
of Alabama on Endangered and Threatened Plants and Animals of Alabama. A
preliminary list of over 200 endangered and threatened plants was compiled by
a committee of botanists and nresented at this symposium.
This preliminary list may serve as a stimulus for further study of rare
plants and encourage the legislature to pass laws to protect these species.
Reference: Endangered and Threatened Plants and Animals of Alabama.
University of Alabama, 1976.
ARKANSAS
Status: Unofficial List
Arkansas does not have an official list of endangered plants which has been
approved by the legislature. However, in the Arkansas Natural Area Plan, 75
species are considered "rare but without detailed distributional data."
Research is continuing to complete a detailed inventory of plants found in
Arkansas.
Reference: Arkansas Natural Area Plan
Arkansas Department of Planning. 1974.
CONNECTICUT
Status: Unofficial List
Connecticut does not have an official endangered plant list, although
research is continuing to inventory the native flora of the state. Botanists
realize the need to protect Connecticut's rare plants and are working towards
that goal.
Reference: Rare and Endangered Species of Connecticut and their Habitats
by J.J. Dowhan and R.J. Craig, 1976.
DELAWARE
Status: Unofficial List
Delaware has a proposed list of endangered and threatened plants and research
is continuing to assess the status of all the native flora. Delaware and
Maryland are cooperating on an inventory of the eastern shore flora.
Delaware may try to preserve and protect specific areas where rare plants
occur rather than protect specific plants.
32
FLORIDA
Status: Official List
Florida passed an official Endangered and Threatened Plant List in 1978. The
law reads "With regard to any plant on the Endangered Plant List provided in
subsection (2), it is unlawful for any person:
1. To willfully injure or destroy any such plant growing on the
private land of another without first obtaining the written
permission of the owner of the land or his legal representative.
2. To willfully injure or destroy any such plant growing on any public
land or water without first obtaining the written permission of the
superintendent or custodian of such land or water and a permit from
the department as provided in this section.
3. To willfully harvest, collect, pick or remove less than three
individual plants of a given species listed on the Endangered Plant
List from the private land of another without first obtaining the
written permission of the owner of the land or his legal
representative, or from any public land or water without first
obtaining the written permission of the superintendent or custodian
of such land or water.
4. To willfully harvest, collect, pick or remove three or more
individual plants of a given species listed on the Endangered Plant
List from any native habitat without first obtaining the written
permission of the owner of the land or his legal representative or,
in the case of public land or water, the written permission of the
superintendent or custodian of such land or water, and a permit
from the department as provided in this section..."
Basically, the same laws apply to threatened species. Persons violating
these regulations will be guilty of a misdemeanor of the first degree.

of the landowner.
(c) no person within the State shall transport, carry, or otherwise
convey any protected plant species from the land or another unless each

INDIANA
Status: Unofficial List
Although Indiana does not have an official endangered plant list, a
comprehensive unofficial list is widely accepted by botanists throughout the
state. Continued research will result in additions and deletions to the list
ultimately resulting in an official state list providing protection to the
endangered plants of Indiana.
Reference: A Preliminary List of Endangered and Threatened Vascular Plants
of Indiana
Indiana Department of Natural Resources
Indianapolis, Indiana 46204
IOWA
Status: Unofficial List
Iowa does not have an official list of endangered plants. However, Research
is continuing on the native flora of Iowa and the public is becoming more
aware of the need to protect its rare plants.
KENTUCKY
Status: Unofficial List
Kentucky has done an extensive search of its herbarium specimens and listed
any native species which occurs in three or fewer counties. A few taxa,
however, occur in more than three counties but are retained on the list for
special reasons. None of the plant species are protected by laws or
regulations but several are proposed for listing as Federally endangered or
threatened .
The intent of establishing an official endangered and threatened plant list
in Kentucky is to 1) indicate the degree of rarity of the species, 2)
indicate the degree of threat to the continued survival of the species, and
3) aid in establishing priorities for conservation and/or preservation
efforts.

Univ. of Kentucky. Lexington, Kentucky.
LOUISIANA
Status: Unofficial List
Louisiana does not have an official list of endangered plants which offers
legal protection to its rare native flora. Some plant research is being
undertaken by Louisiana State University, and the Mississippi Deltaic Plain
Region Characterization Study is inventorying the native biota of the deltaic
plain.

MAINE
Status: No List
Maine is currently inventorying its rare plants. Once a plant is considered
rare, a botanical fact sheet is submitted to the Critical Area Program
Manager who determines whether the location of the rare plant should be
designated as a critical area. Critical areas receive special consideration
when alterations to the native flora are planned.

Augusta, Maine

MARYLAND
Status: No List
Maryland has recently finished an inventory of possible rare or endangered
plants throughout the state. This inventory will be evaluated by the
Department of Natural Resources and a list will be developed.
MASSACHUSETTS
Status: Unofficial List
Massachusetts has an unofficial list of endangered plants which is the result
of extensive research and inventory of native flora. This list is accepted
by the botanists and environmental groups throughout the state.
A major effort will be made this summer to field check the rare plants on
this list. Species may then be added or deleted and an official endangered
plant list may be adopted by 1981.
MICHIGAN
Status: Official List
Michigan has an official state list of endangered and threatened plants which
provides legal protection to over 192 threatened and 16 endangered plants.
The Michigan Department of Natural Resources has a computer printout listing
rare plants by county based on herbarium records. A state-wide field check
will begin this summer to inventory all the listed plants.

MINNESOTA
Status: Official List
Minnesota has an official endangered plant list which provides legal
protection to several species. The protection is weak, however, and needs
strengthening. A more extensive unofficial rare or endangered plant list was

are not legally protected by state laws.

MISSOURI
Status: Unofficial List
In 1974, Missouri compiled its first unofficial rare and endangered species
report which contained an extensive list of plants. This report was revised
72
and published in 1977. Since then more revisions have occurred but have not
yet been published. The Missouri Department of Conservation hopes this
report Will encourage citizens, private organizations and government agencies
to initiate research and management programs. Educational programs are
needed to create a public awareness and concern for the plight of these
species and their importance to the overall environment.

NEW HAMPSHIRE
Status: Unofficial List
New Hampshire does not have an official list of endangered plants. Research
is continuing to inventory rare plants with special concern for many of the
unusual plants in the White Mountains National Forest.

NEW JERSEY
Status: Unofficial List
An unofficial list of rare or endangered vascular plants in New Jersey was
published in November 1973. This list includes 90 species designated as
rare, 74 species listed as endangered and 26 species have an undetermined
status. Botanists are hopeful that this list will aid legislators in the
formulation of new regulations and laws for increased protection of New
Jersey wild flora.

NEW YORK
Status: Official List
Since 1975, New York has had an official endangered plant list which provides
legal protection to several rare plants. This list is being updated and
revised with a new list probably being passed by late 1980. Information on
distribution by county is not yet available.

OHIO
Status: Official List
On March 11, 1980, public hearings were conducted on the 1978 Endangered
Species of Native Ohio Wild Plants Act. As a result of these hearings, the
laws and regulations protecting Ohio's plants were amended. However, the
list of endangered plants remained undisputed and unchanged. Below is the
official Ohio State list of plants protected by law.

PENNSYLVANIA
Status: No List
Research on rare plants in Pennsylvania has just been initiated with the
letting of contracts to inventory Pennsylvania's native flora (an official
list of protected plants is not feasible during 198U).
Although Pennsylvania does not have an endangered plant list, there are laws
regarding the collecting of plants on public and private land.
Reference:
Lists of Endangered Plants in Pennsylvania, 1975. E.T. Wherry, Morris
Arboretum, Philadelphia.
RHODE ISLAND
Status: No List
Rhode Island is in the process of compiling a preliminary list of rare
plants. Research and inventory efforts are continuing and a list should be
completed by Spring 1980.
93
SOUTH CAROLINA
Status: Unofficial List
South Carolina does not have an official endangered plant list although a
comprehensive, unofficial list of rare vascular plants has been compiled.
In 1976, a symposium on Endangered Species in South Carolina resulted in a
preliminary list of rare plants. This list was revised in March of 1979 by
the South Carolina Advisory Committee on Endangered, Threatened and Rare
Plants. The Committee hopes that this list will aid legislators in the
formation of laws and regulations for increased protection of the rare
plants. (Continuing research and educational programs regarding endangered
plants are of vital concern.)
Reference :
Native Vascular Plants Endangered, Threatened or Otherwise in Jeopardy in
South Carolina. South Carolina Museum Commission. March 1979.
TENNESSEE
Status: Unofficial List
Although Tennessee does not have an official endangered plant list, much
research by a special committee has resulted in an extensive unofficial rare
plant list. This list includes 52 possibly extirpated, 58 endangered, 108
threatened and 123 species of special concern. (The Committee for Tennessee
Rare Plants is hopeful that this list will generate educational programs,
necessary legislation, public awareness and general concern for this
significant portion of Tennessee's natural heritage.)

Science. Vol. 53 (4) 1978.
VERMONT
Status: Official List
Vermont has had an official endangered plant list since 1975 and is currently
updating this list. The new list will probably pass the legislature in late
1980. Research is continuing on endangered plants as plants are added to or
deleted from the list. The following is the official 1975 State list of
endangered plants. Information which identifies rare plant occurrences at
the county level is not yet available.

VIRGINIA
Virginia does not have an official endangered plant list which offers legal
protection to rare plants. Research on endangered plants is continuing but
no official list is planned for the near future.

WEST VIRGINIA
Status: Unofficial List
Although West Virginia does not have an official endangered plant list,
extensive research has resulted in a preliminary report on rare and
97
endangered vascular plants. This report identifies special habitats of West
Virginia such as heath barrens, sphagnum bogs, and red spruce forests. A
list of rare plants with a description and distribution is also presented.
West Virginia botanists recognize the need to pass endangered species
legislation which would provide legal protection to many endangered plants
and permit the state to participate in Federal programs. Ultimately the
state would like to have a complete plant inventory which could benefit
economical development by screening candidate sites prior to construction and
development, thus reducing potential environmental problems.

■•■Mountain Golden-heather (Hudsonia montana) has been proposed for
threatened status. The Fish and Wildlife Service held a public meeting on
July 1, 1980 to discuss this proposal.
^Robbin's Cinquefoil (Potentilla robbinsiana) has been proposed for
endangered status. The Fish and Wildlife Service held a public meeting on
April 28, 1980 to solicit public comments on the proposal. All comments were
favorable to the proposed listing. Robbin's Cinquefoil will probably be
federally-listed as endangered before October 1980.
