Notice of Availability of a Technical/Agency Draft Recovery Plan for ``Stahlia monosperma'' for Review and Comment

Riepilogo

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announces availability for public review of a technical/agency draft recovery plan for Stahlia monosperma (Cobana negra). This species belongs to a monotypic Genus endemic to Puerto Rico and Hispaniola, and it usually grows in brackish, seasonally flooded wetlands in association with mangrove communities. The only wild populations in Puerto Rico are known from Cabo Rojo, Rio Grande, and Vieques island. Coastal development threatens the remnant populations of this species. The Service solicits review and comments from the public on this draft plan.
