Notes Glossary
  • Widely planted on mainland; potentially causing loss of reproductive isolation within the whole of the E. fasciculatum / E. giganteum complex. Introduced on SCZ Isl., but removal efforts ongoing. Possibly threatened by road maintenance and development. See Proceedings of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences 20:371 (1885) for original description, and Phytologia 66(4):295-414 (1989) for taxonomic treatment.

      Definitions of codes preceding a county and/or quad:
      * Presumed extirpated
      ? Uncertain about distribution or identity
      ?* Uncertain about distribution, but presumed extirpated if once present
      (?) Occurrence confirmed, but possibly extirpated
      Species may be present in other areas where conditions are favorable.
Quad data is not available for all List 3 and 4 plants. For those that do contain this data, it has not been quality controlled and is potentially incomplete, inaccurate, and/or out of date. Please use caution when referencing this information. We are currently working hard to maintain this data and hope to provide accurate and up to date information in the near future.
