The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announces availability for public review of a technical/agency draft recovery plan for Aurodendron pauciflorum and Myrcia paganii (no common names). Aurodendron pauciflorum is an evergreen shrub or small tree known from the semi- evergreen forests of the limestone hills of Isabela in northwestern Puerto Rico. Only 10 individual plants are known from the edges of these cliffs. Myrcia paganii is an evergreen tree which may reach 9 meters in height, known from only 8 individuals at three locations in the limestone hills of northwestern Puerto Rico. Both species are threatened by rural, urban and tourist development. The Service solicits review and comments from the public on this draft plan.
