INTRODUCTION
The following report identifies those native Maryland plants that are among the rarest and most in need of conservation efforts as elements of our State's natural diversity. It includes species occurring in Maryland that are listed or that are candidates for listing on the Federal list of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants, species currently on the State's Threatened and Endangered Species List, and additional species that are considered rare by the Maryland Wildlife and Heritage Service. The purpose of this report is to inform the public of which species are rare, to provide an indication of their degree of rarity, to solicit additional information on the status and distribution of these species, and to promote an interest in their protection. Compiled by Wildlife and Heritage Service staff, this list of rare species is a result of 30 years of data gathering from numerous sources, such as herbaria and private collections, scientific literature, unpublished documents, reports from botanists and amateur naturalists, and field work conducted by scientists from the Department of Natural Resources (DNR). The original version of this list was included in the Department of Natural Resources' 1984 publication Threatened and Endangered Plants and Animals of Maryland, which also contained detailed information on the distribution and status of Maryland's rare species known at that time. Since 1984, our knowledge of Maryland's flora has grown steadily. Through extensive field work, Wildlife and Heritage Service biologists and other researchers have located species which were previously unrecorded for the State and have discovered that some species are scarcer than previously known. Similarly, some species are now known to be either more widespread or less vulnerable to ecological disturbances than previously believed. Thus, the list and status of each species is periodically revised to keep pace with new information. The official State Threatened and Endangered Species List is part of the State Threatened and Endangered Species regulations (COMAR 08.03.08). Wildlife and Heritage Service biologists are concerned with many more species than those included on the State's Threatened and Endangered Species List. Some of these species are potential candidates for listing and usually require further investigation into their rarity and endangerment status. Others are thought to be secure at present, but are worthy of attention because of limited distributions, declining populations, or ecological vulnerabilities.
GLOBAL AND STATE RANKS The global and state ranking system is used by all 50 state Natural Heritage Programs and numerous Conservation Data Centers in other countries in this hemisphere. Because they are assigned based upon standard criteria, the ranks can be used to assess the range-wide status of a species, as well as the status within portions of the species' range. The primary criterion used to define these ranks is the number of known distinct occurrences with consideration given to the total number of individuals at each locality. Additional factors considered include the current level of protection, the types and degree of threats, ecological vulnerability, and population trends. Global and state ranks are used in combination to set inventory, protection, and management priorities for species both at the state as well as regional level.
GLOBAL RANK
G1
Highly globally rare. Critically imperiled globally because of extreme rarity (typically 5 or fewer estimated occurrences or very few remaining individuals or acres) or because of some factor(s) making it especially vulnerable to extinction. Globally rare. Imperiled globally because of rarity (typically 6 to 20 estimated occurrences or few remaining individuals or acres) or because of some factor(s) making it very vulnerable to extinction throughout its range. Either very rare and local throughout its range or distributed locally (even abundantly at some of its locations) in a restricted range (e.g., a single western state, a physiographic region in the East) or because of other factors making it vulnerable to extinction throughout its range; typically with 21 to 100 estimated occurrences. Apparently secure globally, although it may be quite rare in parts of its range, especially at the periphery. Demonstrably secure globally, although it may be quite rare in parts of its range, especially at the periphery. No known extant occurrences (i.e., formerly part of the established biota, with the expectation that it may be rediscovered). Possibly in peril range-wide, but its status is uncertain; more information is needed. Believed to be extinct throughout its range (e.g., passenger pigeon) with virtually no likelihood that it will be rediscovered. The species has not yet been ranked. Species containing a "Q" in the rank indicates that the taxon is of questionable or uncertain taxonomic standing (i.e., some taxonomists regard it as a full species, while others treat it at an infraspecific level). Ranks containing a "T" indicate that the infraspecific taxon is being ranked differently than the full species.

STATE RANK S1 Highly State rare. Critically imperiled in Maryland because of extreme rarity (typically 5 or fewer estimated occurrences or very few remaining individuals or acres in the State) or because of some factor(s) making it especially vulnerable to extirpation. Species with this rank are actively tracked by the Wildlife and Heritage Service. State rare. Imperiled in Maryland because of rarity (typically 6 to 20 estimated occurrences or few remaining individuals or acres in the State) or because of some factor(s) making it vulnerable to becoming extirpated. Species with this rank are actively tracked by the Wildlife and Heritage Service. Watch List. Rare to uncommon with the number of occurrences typically in the range of 21 to 100 in Maryland. It may have fewer occurrences but with a large number of individuals in some populations, and it may be susceptible to large-scale disturbances. Species with this rank are not actively tracked by the Wildlife and Heritage Service.
S2
S3
S3.1 A "Watch List" species that is actively tracked by the Wildlife and Heritage Service because of the global significance of Maryland occurrences. For instance, a G3 S3 species is globally rare to uncommon, and although it may not be currently threatened with extirpation in Maryland, its occurrences in Maryland may be critical to the long term security of the species. Therefore, its status in the State is being monitored. S4 Apparently secure in Maryland with typically more than 100 occurrences in the State or may have fewer occurrences if they contain large numbers of individuals. It is apparently secure under present conditions, although it may be restricted to only a portion of the State. Demonstrably secure in Maryland under present conditions. Accidental in Maryland. Established, but not native to Maryland; it may be native elsewhere in North America. Historically known from Maryland, but not verified for an extended period (usually 20 or more years), with the expectation that it may be rediscovered. Species is not a suitable conservation target Potentially occurring in Maryland or likely to have occurred in Maryland (but without persuasive documentation). Reported from Maryland, but without persuasive documentation that would provide a basis for either accepting or rejecting the report (e.g., no voucher specimen exists).
S5 SA SE SH
SNA SP
SR
SRF Reported falsely (in error) from Maryland, and the error may persist in the literature. SU Possibly rare in Maryland, but of uncertain status for reasons including lack of historical records, low search effort, cryptic nature of the species, or concerns that the species may not be native to the State. Uncertainty spans a range of 4 or 5 ranks as defined above. Believed to be extirpated in Maryland with virtually no chance of rediscovery. The species has not yet been ranked.

STATE STATUS State status is the legal protection status of a species as determined by the Maryland Department of Natural Resources in accordance with the Nongame and Endangered Species Conservation Act. Definitions for the following categories have been taken from Code of Maryland Regulations (COMAR) 08.03.08.
Endangered; a species whose continued existence as a viable component of the State's flora or fauna is determined to be in jeopardy. Threatened; a species of flora or fauna that appears likely, within the foreseeable future, to become endangered in the State. Endangered Extirpated; a species that was once a viable component of the flora or fauna of the State, but for which no naturally occurring populations are known to exist in the State. A qualifier denoting the species is listed in a limited geographic area only.
FEDERAL STATUS Federal Status is the legal protection status of a species as determined by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Office of Endangered Species, in accordance with the Endangered Species Act. Definitions for the following categories have been modified from 50 CFR 17. LE LT Taxa listed as endangered; in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of their range. Taxa listed as threatened; likely to become endangered within the foreseeable future throughout all or a significant portion of their range. Taxa proposed to be listed as endangered. Taxa proposed to be listed as threatened. Candidate taxa for listing for which the Service has on file enough substantial information on biological vulnerability and threat(s) to support proposals to list them as endangered or threatened.
