Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Reorganization and Republication of List of Endangered and Threatened Plants

Resumen

The Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act), announces a reorganization and republication of the list of endangered and threatened plants. Previously organized alphabetically by plant family, the plants will now be placed in the list in alphabetical order by scientific name under broad taxonomic groupings as follows: Flowering Plants, Conifers and Cycads, Ferns and Fern Allies, and Lichens and Fungi. The family name will be retained in a separate column in the list. This republication of the plant list includes all changes published in the Federal Register through August 19, 1994, but does not promulgate any new regulatory changes.
