Active Inventory List

This list contains the family name, plant name, Heritage rank, and state legal status for 574 plants that the NY Natural Heritage Program actively tracks and surveys. It contains most plant taxa (species, subspecies and varieties) that have fewer than 30 occurrences in the state and are considered highly vulnerable to extirpation. They have been documented by a Heritage report and a herbarium specimen or photograph in the last 20-30 years. It also contains rare historical taxa, those plants that have not been documented in the last 20-30 years, and the extirpated taxa, those that are considered no longer extant in the state.

To sort the following table, click on the sort arrows next to any of the heading names as needed. Detailed information regarding categories; rank; and legal status can be found on this page by scrolling past the table or by simply using one of the links below.

Explanation of Categories

The active and watch lists are produced from the Heritage Program's Biotics 4 Database and include the following categories:

Scientific Name - This is the genus and species name derived from Latin or Greek roots. Some plants also have a variety or subspecies name. These standardized scientific names are understood throughout the world. This list follows the taxonomy of the New York Flora Atlas (Weldy, Troy and David Werier. 2010. New York Flora Atlas <http://atlas.nyflora.org/default.asp>. [S.M. Landry, K.N. Campbell, and L.D. Mabe (original application development), Florida Center for Community Design and Research <http://www.fccdr.usf.edu/>. University of South Florida <http://www.usf.edu/>]. New York Flora Association <http://wwws.nyflora.org/>, Albany, New York.

Common Name - This is the most commonly accepted English name for the plant in New York.

Global and State Ranks - These rarity ranks are maintained by NatureServe (www.natureserve.org) and are used by Natural Heritage programs in every state. They are not linked to any legal penalties but provide information used for determining state and federal legal status of rare plants.

State Status - These status codes reflect rarity, vulnerability and the action priority status of plants. Their status is backed up by state laws that provide penalties for the "taking" of plants.

Explanation of Heritage Ranks and Codes

Each taxon has a global and state rank. The global rank reflects the rarity of the species throughout the world and the state rank reflects the rarity within New York State.

Global Rank

  • G1 = Critically imperiled throughout its range due to extreme rarity (5 or fewer sites or very few remaining individuals) or extremely vulnerable to extinction due to biological factors. (10 taxa in 2010)
  • G2 = Imperiled throughout its range due to rarity (6 - 20 sites or few remaining individuals) or highly vulnerable to extinction due to biological factors. (10 taxa in 2010)
  • G3 = Either very rare and local throughout its range (21 - 100 sites), with a restricted range (but possibly locally abundant), or vulnerable to extinction due to biological factors. (39 taxa in 2010)
  • G4 = Apparently secure throughout its range (but possibly rare in parts).
  • G5 = Demonstrably secure throughout its range (but possibly rare in parts).
  • GH = No extant sites known but it may be rediscovered.
  • GX = Species believed extinct.
  • TU & T? = Status of the subspecies or variety unknown.

State Rank

  • S1 = Critically imperiled in New York State because of extreme rarity (5 or fewer sites or very few remaining individuals) or extremely vulnerable to extirpation from New York State due to biological or human factors.
  • S2 = Imperiled in New York State because of rarity (6 - 20 sites or few remaining individuals) or highly vulnerable to extirpation from New York State due to biological or human factors.
  • S3 = Rare in New York State (usually 21 - 35 extant sites).
  • S4 = Apparently secure in New York State.
  • S5 = Demonstrably secure in New York State.
  • SH = Historical. No existing sites known in New York State in the last 20-30 years but it may be rediscovered.
  • SX = Apparently extirpated from New York State, very low probability of rediscovery.
  • SR = Reported from the state, but existence has not been documented.

Taxon Rank

The T-ranks are defined in the same way as the Global ranks, but the T-rank only refers to the rarity of the subspecific taxon, not the rarity of the species as a whole. If a species has a subspecific name that is the same as the species name it means there is also another subspecies of that species which we do not consider rare in New York or it does not occur in New York.

Double Ranks

The first rank indicates rarity based upon current documentation. The second rank indicates the probable rarity after all historical records and likely habitat have been checked.

Double Ranks Denote Species That Need Additional Field Surveys.

A "Q" indicates a question exists whether or not the taxon is a good taxonomic entity.

A "?" indicates that an identification question exists about known occurrences. It also indicates the rank presumably corresponds to actual occurrences even though the information has not yet been documented in heritage files or historical records. It serves to flag species that need more field studies or specimen identification.

New York State Legal Status

The following categories are defined in regulation 6NYCRR part 193.3 and apply to New York State Environmental Conservation Law section 9-1503. Part (f) of the law reads as follows: "It is a violation for any person, anywhere in the state to pick, pluck, sever, remove, damage by the application of herbicides or defoliants, or carry away, without the consent of the owner, any protected plant. Each protected plant so picked, plucked, severed, removed, damaged or carried away shall constitute a separate violation." Violators of the regulation are subject to fines of $25 per plant illegally taken. For you convenience, the DEC Protected Plant List is included as an appendix within this publication. Questions about DEC's Protected Plant list should be directed to the Division of Lands and Forests at (518) 402-9425.

E = Endangered Species: listed species are those with

  1. 5 or fewer extant sites, or
  2. fewer than 1,000 individuals, or
  3. restricted to fewer than 4 U.S.G.S. 7 1/2 minute topographical maps, or
  4. species listed as endangered by the U. S. Department of Interior, as enumerated in the Code of Federal Regulations 50 CFR 17.11.

T = Threatened: listed species are those with

  1. 6 to fewer than 20 extant sites, or
  2. 1,000 to fewer than 3,000 individuals, or
  3. restricted to not less than 4 or more than 7 U.S.G.S. 7 1/2 minute topographical maps, or
  4. listed as threatened by the U. S. Department of the Interior, as enumerated in the Code of Federal Regulations 50 CFR 17.11.

R = Rare: listed species have

  1. 20 to 35 extant sites, or
  2. 3,000 to 5,000 individuals statewide.

V = Exploitably vulnerable: listed species are likely to become threatened in the near future throughout all or a significant portion of their range within the state if causal factors continue unchecked. [This definition does not apply to many plants on this list and efforts are underway to change the definition or the list - SMY]

U = Unprotected
