INTRODUCTION<br />
The <strong>Virginia</strong> <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Conservation</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Recreation</strong>'s Division <strong>of</strong> Natural Heritage (DCR-DNH) was established to protect <strong>Virginia</strong>'s Natural Heritage Resources. These<br />
Resources are defined in the <strong>Virginia</strong> Natural Area Preserves Act <strong>of</strong> 1989 (Section 10.1-209 through 217, Code <strong>of</strong> <strong>Virginia</strong>), as the habitat <strong>of</strong> <strong>rare</strong>, threatened, <strong>and</strong> endangered<br />
plant <strong>and</strong> animal species; exemplary natural communities, habitats, <strong>and</strong> ecosystems; <strong>and</strong> other natural features <strong>of</strong> the Commonwealth. DCR-DNH is the state's only<br />
comprehensive program for conservation <strong>of</strong> our natural heritage <strong>and</strong> includes an intensive statewide biological inventory, field surveys, electronic <strong>and</strong> manual database<br />
management, environmental review capabilities, <strong>and</strong> natural area protection <strong>and</strong> stewardship. Through such a comprehensive operation, the Division identifies Natural Heritage<br />
Resources which are in need <strong>of</strong> conservation attention while creating an efficient means <strong>of</strong> evaluating the impacts <strong>of</strong> economic growth.<br />
To achieve this protection, DCR-DNH maintains lists <strong>of</strong> the most significant elements <strong>of</strong> our natural diversity. These lists focus the Division's inventory on the Natural Heritage<br />
Resources most likely to be lost without conservation action in the near future. Most importantly, these lists are not only useful for DCR-DNH, but can be used by other<br />
agencies, organizations, <strong>and</strong> individuals to guide protection <strong>and</strong> development decision-making. In formulating these lists, the Division uses information from previous studies,<br />
museum records, the observations <strong>and</strong> opinions <strong>of</strong> experts, DCR-DNH staff scientists, <strong>and</strong> field inventories.<br />
The first list included in this report is the Rare Vascular Plant List. This list contains information on the legal <strong>and</strong> biological status <strong>of</strong> <strong>Virginia</strong>'s <strong>rare</strong>st known native vascular<br />
plant taxa, 602 in all. This list includes all <strong>plants</strong> believed to be sufficiently <strong>rare</strong> or threatened to merit an inventory <strong>of</strong> their status <strong>and</strong> locations.<br />
The second list included in this report is the Vascular Plant Watchlist. This list contains information on the legal <strong>and</strong> biological status <strong>of</strong> 229 additional taxa that are decidedly<br />
uncommon in <strong>Virginia</strong> but not scarce enough to merit inclusion on the Rare Vascular Plant List. Plants on this list are monitored to determine general population trends. If a<br />
species or variety on this list is found to be <strong>rare</strong> or threatened, it is placed on the Rare Vascular Plant List. Taxa <strong>of</strong> uncertain status, which formerly made up a large percentage <strong>of</strong><br />
the Watchlist, may now be found on the Review List (see below).<br />
The third list included in this report is the Review List (Taxa <strong>of</strong> Uncertain Status). These taxa lack numerical ranks, indicating that they are poorly known from a taxonomic <strong>and</strong><br />
distributional st<strong>and</strong>point. Although some <strong>of</strong> these taxa may prove to be conservation targets, more field <strong>and</strong> herbarium data are needed to assess their distinctiveness <strong>and</strong> degree<br />
<strong>of</strong> rarity in <strong>Virginia</strong>. There are 78 taxa in this category.<br />
The fourth list included in this report is the Rare Non-Vascular Plant List. This list contains information on the legal <strong>and</strong> biological status <strong>of</strong> 46 taxa thought to be <strong>rare</strong> in the state<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>Virginia</strong>. The lichens, liverworts, <strong>and</strong> mosses listed herein represent an attempt at designating imperiled species within this <strong>of</strong>ten-neglected group. The list is currently small<br />
compared to the vascular plant lists because the taxonomy <strong>and</strong> distributions <strong>of</strong> non-vascular <strong>plants</strong> are generally poorly known in <strong>Virginia</strong> at this time (with some exceptions). A<br />
large percentage <strong>of</strong> the listed species are mosses <strong>of</strong> the genus Sphagnum. These taxa are listed due to the field <strong>and</strong> herbarium work <strong>of</strong> Christopher A. Clampitt <strong>and</strong> Lewis E.<br />
Anderson, who resolved many <strong>of</strong> the taxonomic <strong>and</strong> distributional questions pertaining to Sphagnum in <strong>Virginia</strong>. Additional listings <strong>of</strong> non-vascular <strong>plants</strong> in future years are<br />
expected as our knowledge <strong>of</strong> this portion <strong>of</strong> the flora increases. Ecologists with the Division <strong>of</strong> Natural Heritage have been instrumental in urging this listing <strong>of</strong> imperiled taxa<br />
<strong>and</strong> have helped to revise the list based on new information. The lichen list has been revised in particular this year, based mostly on field work in Shen<strong>and</strong>oah National Park <strong>and</strong><br />
subsequent identifications made by lichen experts at the New York Botanical Garden <strong>and</strong> by lichen expert Don Flenniken <strong>of</strong> West <strong>Virginia</strong>.<br />
Natural Heritage Resource lists are necessarily dynamic <strong>and</strong> are revised annually, with updates occurring as data become available. Such revisions assure the most current<br />
knowledge <strong>of</strong> the status <strong>of</strong> <strong>Virginia</strong>'s <strong>plants</strong>. Taxa are added to the list when it is determined that they have become <strong>rare</strong> or threatened to such an extent that their continued<br />
existence in <strong>Virginia</strong> is in jeopardy. Plants are deleted from the list when data indicate they are common <strong>and</strong> do not warrant priority conservation efforts.<br />
If you have information which could refine this list, please contact DCR-DNH staff botanist John Townsend at (804) 225-4855 (email: john.townsend@dcr.virginia.gov) or by<br />
mailing the Rare Species Sighting Form found at the end <strong>of</strong> this document.<br />
All <strong>plants</strong> which are <strong>of</strong>ficially protected by federal or state endangered species acts are included in these lists. The Office <strong>of</strong> Plant Protection within the <strong>Virginia</strong> <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />
Agriculture <strong>and</strong> Consumer Services (VDACS) has regulatory responsibility for the listing <strong>and</strong> protection <strong>of</strong> <strong>Virginia</strong>'s endangered <strong>and</strong> threatened <strong>plants</strong> <strong>and</strong> insects under the<br />
<strong>Virginia</strong> Endangered Plant <strong>and</strong> Insect Species Act, as amended (Section 3.1 -1020 through 1030, Code <strong>of</strong> <strong>Virginia</strong>). The Act provides for the <strong>of</strong>ficial listing <strong>and</strong> recovery <strong>of</strong><br />
endangered <strong>and</strong> threatened plant <strong>and</strong> insect species in <strong>Virginia</strong>. The Act also establishes a permit system for collection <strong>of</strong> listed species. As <strong>of</strong> March 2005, there were 26 statelisted<br />
plant species. A memor<strong>and</strong>um <strong>of</strong> agreement between DCR-DNH <strong>and</strong> VDACS facilitates data transfer between agencies <strong>and</strong> allows for DCR-DNH to nominate species for<br />
listing by VDACS.<br />
Federally listed species are protected by the Endangered Species Act <strong>of</strong> 1973, as amended. The U.S. <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> the Interior's Fish <strong>and</strong> Wildlife Service administers the Act,<br />
listing <strong>and</strong> protecting federally endangered <strong>and</strong> threatened species. As <strong>of</strong> March 2005, there were 16 plant species federally listed as endangered or threatened which occur or<br />
formerly occurred in <strong>Virginia</strong>.<br />
The <strong>Virginia</strong> <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Conservation</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Recreation</strong>, <strong>Virginia</strong> <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> Agriculture <strong>and</strong> Consumer Services, <strong>and</strong> U. S. Fish <strong>and</strong> Wildlife Service work cooperatively<br />
to insure the continued survival <strong>of</strong> <strong>Virginia</strong>'s diverse flora <strong>and</strong> other elements <strong>of</strong> natural diversity. The Division <strong>of</strong> Natural Heritage also works closely with other state <strong>and</strong><br />
federal agencies, local governments, conservation organizations, <strong>and</strong> other organizations <strong>and</strong> individuals to seek adequate protection <strong>of</strong> <strong>Virginia</strong>'s natural heritage.<br />
LIST FORMAT<br />
The <strong>rare</strong> plant list <strong>and</strong> the watchlist are ordered alphabetically by scientific name. Each list has an identical format which presents six fields: scientific name, common name,<br />
global rank, state rank, federal status, <strong>and</strong> state status. To aid in the interpretation <strong>of</strong> the list, a brief explanation <strong>of</strong> each field follows:<br />
Column 1. Scientific name:<br />
Nomenclature for vascular <strong>plants</strong> almost exclusively follows Weakley, A.S., J.C. Ludwig, <strong>and</strong> J.F. Townsend, 2012. Flora <strong>of</strong> <strong>Virginia</strong>. A line is provided below the scientific<br />
name to provide a synonymy when other names are used in popular botanical references.<br />
Nomenclature for lichens follows Esslinger, T.L. 1997. A cumulative checklist for the lichen-forming, lichenicolous, <strong>and</strong> allied fungi <strong>of</strong> the continental United States <strong>and</strong><br />
Canada. North Dakota State University: http://www.ndsu.nodak.edu/instruct/esslinge/chcklst/chcklst7.htm (First Posted 1 December 1997, Most Recent Update 27 August<br />
2001), Fargo, North Dakota.<br />
Nomenclature for liverworts follows Hicks, Marie L. 1992. Guide to the Liverworts <strong>of</strong> North Carolina. Duke University Press, Durham, N.C. 239 pp.<br />
3
Nomenclature for mosses follows the Bryophyte Names Authority List published online by the Missouri Botanical Garden at:<br />
http://www.mobot.org/MOBOT/tropicos/most/bryolist.shtml<br />
Column 2. Common name:<br />
A common name is provided for the convenience <strong>of</strong> the user. Common names for <strong>plants</strong> follow the Flora <strong>of</strong> <strong>Virginia</strong>.<br />
Column 3. Global rank:<br />
Global ranks are assigned by a consensus <strong>of</strong> the network <strong>of</strong> natural heritage programs, scientific experts, <strong>and</strong> The Nature Conservancy to designate a rarity rank based on the<br />
range-wide status <strong>of</strong> a species or variety. This system was developed by The Nature Conservancy <strong>and</strong> is widely used by other agencies <strong>and</strong> organizations as the best available<br />
scientific <strong>and</strong> objective assessment <strong>of</strong> a taxon's rarity <strong>and</strong> level <strong>of</strong> threat to its existence. The ranks are assigned after considering a suite <strong>of</strong> factors, including number <strong>of</strong><br />
occurrences, number <strong>of</strong> individuals, <strong>and</strong> severity <strong>of</strong> threats.<br />
G1 = Critically Imperiled - At very high risk <strong>of</strong> extinction due to extreme rarity (<strong>of</strong>ten 5 or fewer populations), very steep declines, or other factors.<br />
G2 = Imperiled - At high risk <strong>of</strong> extinction due to very restricted range, very few populations (<strong>of</strong>ten 20 or fewer), steep declines, or other factors.<br />
G3 = Vulnerable - At moderate risk <strong>of</strong> extinction due to a restricted range, relatively few populations (<strong>of</strong>ten 80 or fewer), recent <strong>and</strong> widespread declines, or other factors.<br />
G4 = Apparently Secure - Uncommon but not <strong>rare</strong>; some cause for long-term concern due to declines or other factors.<br />
G5 = Secure – Common, widespread <strong>and</strong> abundant.<br />
GH = Possibly Extinct - Missing; known from only historical occurrences but still some hope <strong>of</strong> rediscovery.<br />
GX = Presumed Extinct - Not located despite intensive searches <strong>and</strong> virtually no likelihood <strong>of</strong> rediscovery.<br />
GU = Unrankable - Currently unrankable due to lack <strong>of</strong> information or due to substantially conflicting information about status or trends. Whenever possible, the most likely<br />
rank is assigned <strong>and</strong> the question mark qualifier is added (e.g., G2?) to express uncertainty, or a range rank (e.g., G2G3) is used to delineate the range <strong>of</strong> uncertainty.<br />
G_? = Inexact Numeric Rank - Denotes inexact numeric rank (e.g., G3?).<br />
G_Q = Questionable taxonomy - Taxonomic distinctiveness <strong>of</strong> this entity at the current level is questionable; resolution <strong>of</strong> this uncertainty may result in change from a<br />
species to a subspecies or hybrid, or the inclusion <strong>of</strong> this taxon in another taxon, with the resulting taxon having a lower conservation priority (e.g., G3Q).<br />
G_T_ = Infraspecific Taxa - Signifies the rank <strong>of</strong> a subspecies or variety. For example, the rank G5T1 would be assigned to a very <strong>rare</strong> <strong>and</strong> localized variety <strong>of</strong> an<br />
otherwise widespread <strong>and</strong> common taxon.<br />
GNR = Unranked – Global rank not yet assessed.<br />
GNA = Not applicable – A conservation status rank is not applicable because the species is not a suitable target for conservation activities.<br />
Column 4. State rank:<br />
State ranks are assigned in a manner similar to that described for global ranks, but consider only those factors within the political boundaries <strong>of</strong> <strong>Virginia</strong>. For example, whereas<br />
a plant which is endemic to <strong>Virginia</strong> (found nowhere else) will have the same global <strong>and</strong> state ranks, a plant which may be common in the northeastern United States, but only<br />
known from a few occurrences in <strong>Virginia</strong> will have different global <strong>and</strong> state ranks. By comparing the global <strong>and</strong> state ranks, the status, rarity, <strong>and</strong> the urgency <strong>of</strong> conservation<br />
needs can be ascertained.<br />
S1 = Critically Imperiled - At very high risk <strong>of</strong> extirpation from the state due to extreme rarity (<strong>of</strong>ten 5 or fewer populations), very steep declines, or other factors.<br />
S2 = Imperiled - At high risk <strong>of</strong> extirpation from the state due to very restricted range, very few populations (<strong>of</strong>ten 20 or fewer), steep declines, or other factors.<br />
S3 = Vulnerable - At moderate risk <strong>of</strong> extirpation from the state due to a restricted range, relatively few populations (<strong>of</strong>ten 80 or fewer), recent <strong>and</strong> widespread declines, or<br />
other factors.<br />
S4 = Apparently Secure - Uncommon but not <strong>rare</strong>; some cause for long-term concern due to declines or other factors.<br />
S5 = Secure – Common, widespread <strong>and</strong> abundant.<br />
SH = Possibly Extirpated - Known only from historical occurrences but still some hope <strong>of</strong> rediscovery.<br />
SX = Presumed Extirpated - Not located despite intensive searches <strong>and</strong> virtually no likelihood <strong>of</strong> rediscovery.<br />
SU = Unrankable - Currently unrankable due to lack <strong>of</strong> information or due to substantially conflicting information about status or trends.<br />
S_? = Inexact Numeric Rank - Denotes inexact numeric rank (e.g., S3?).<br />
SNR = Unranked – State conservation status not yet assessed.<br />
SNA = Not Applicable - A conservation status rank is not applicable because the species is not a suitable target for conservation activities.<br />
Column 5. Federal Status:<br />
Federal Status is determined by the U. S. Fish <strong>and</strong> Wildlife Service. This includes all species <strong>and</strong> varieties which are listed as endangered or threatened by the U. S. government<br />
<strong>and</strong> receive protection under the federal Endangered Species Act. The list also notes those taxa which are proposed for listing or are c<strong>and</strong>idates for listing.<br />
LE = Listed Endangered - A taxon is threatened with extinction throughout all or a significant portion <strong>of</strong> its range.<br />
LT = Listed Threatened - A taxon is likely to become endangered in the foreseeable future.<br />
PE = Proposed Endangered - A taxon is proposed for listing as endangered.<br />
PT = Proposed Threatened - A taxon is proposed for listing as threatened.<br />
C = C<strong>and</strong>idate - There is enough available information to propose the taxon for listing, but listing is "precluded by other pending proposals <strong>of</strong> higher priority". The U.S. Fish<br />
<strong>and</strong> Wildlife Service is "directed to make prompt use <strong>of</strong> the emergency listing if the well-being <strong>of</strong> any such species is at significant risk."<br />
_* = An * following the status denotes that the species or variety is possibly extinct.<br />
4
Column 6. State Status:<br />
State status indicates those <strong>plants</strong> which are listed as state endangered or threatened under the authority <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Virginia</strong> <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> Agriculture <strong>and</strong> Consumer Services.<br />
LE = Listed Endangered<br />
LT = Listed Threatened<br />
PE = Proposed Endangered<br />
PT = Proposed Threatened<br />
C = C<strong>and</strong>idate for listing as threatened or endangered<br />
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS<br />
If not for the hard work <strong>of</strong> many biologists, these plant lists could not accurately reflect our current underst<strong>and</strong>ing <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Virginia</strong> flora. On the staff <strong>of</strong> the Division <strong>of</strong> Natural<br />
Heritage, a dedicated staff <strong>of</strong> botanists <strong>and</strong> ecologists, including Allen Belden, Phil Coulling, Gary Fleming, Chris Ludwig, Kathleen McCoy, Shelly Parrish, Gina Pisoni, Nancy<br />
Van Alstine, Dean Walton, Karen Patterson, Kristin Taverna, Irvine Wilson, Mike Leahy, <strong>and</strong> Darren Loomis have provided many comments to refine the content <strong>of</strong> the lists.<br />
Dean Walton’s keen interest in <strong>and</strong> underst<strong>and</strong>ing <strong>of</strong> non-vascular <strong>plants</strong> <strong>and</strong> their rarity in the state <strong>of</strong> <strong>Virginia</strong> <strong>and</strong> elsewhere, <strong>and</strong> has been instrumental in the listing <strong>of</strong> nonvascular<br />
<strong>plants</strong> herein. In addition to Heritage staff, the work <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Virginia</strong> Atlas Committee allows us a much greater underst<strong>and</strong>ing <strong>of</strong> the status <strong>of</strong> our botanical heritage. Our<br />
thanks go out to Alton Harvill, Ted Bradley, Doug Coleman, Gary Fleming, Doug Ogle, Gwynn Ramsey, Donna Ware, Tom Weiboldt, <strong>and</strong> Robert Wright.<br />
Recent regional floristic work by Alan Weakley has also been <strong>of</strong> great assistance, particularly regarding recent taxonomic <strong>and</strong> nomenclatural changes.<br />

APPENDIX 2. RARE SPECIES SIGHTING FORM<br />
An important component <strong>of</strong> the natural heritage inventory <strong>and</strong> protection process involves gathering information from state experts, pr<strong>of</strong>essionals, <strong>and</strong> avocational<br />
naturalists throughout the state. To facilitate this, the Division <strong>of</strong> Natural Heritage has developed a <strong>rare</strong> species sighting form. If you would like to participate in our<br />
inventory <strong>and</strong> protection activities, please take a few moments to complete the attached form for any taxon from our lists. This data will be incorporated into the<br />
natural heritage data base <strong>and</strong> used exclusively for the protection <strong>of</strong> the <strong>rare</strong> taxon <strong>and</strong> its habitat. Please send the form to staff botanist John Townsend at: <strong>Department</strong><br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>Conservation</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Recreation</strong>, Division <strong>of</strong> Natural Heritage, 217 Governor Street, 3 rd Floor, Richmond, VA 23219.<br />
Thank you for your support. The Division <strong>of</strong> Natural Heritage can only realize the protection <strong>of</strong> the Commonwealth's natural diversity by working through a network<br />
<strong>of</strong> knowledgeable <strong>and</strong> concerned individuals.<br />
