Rare Native Ohio Plants: 2018-2019 Status List
Division of Natural Areas and Preserves. 2018. Rare Native Ohio Plants: 2018-2019 Status List. Ohio Department of Natural Resources
The attached list of Ohio endangered, threatened, potentially threatened, and presumed extirpated native plant taxa was determined by the Department of Natural Resources, Division of Natural Areas and Preserves with the advice and guidance of the Ohio Rare Plants Advisory Committee pursuant to Ohio Revised Code Chapter 1518. This list replaces the 2016-17 status list. The current list contains 84 presumed extirpated, 256 endangered, 158 threatened, and 106 potentially threatened taxa, plus 4 taxa with no assigned status. Only data from January 1, 1998 through December 31, 2017 were considered in assigning endangerment status based upon information in the Ohio Natural Heritage Database. The first status list, issued in 1980, was largely based on preliminary lists of rare plant species compiled in the 1970s for the Ohio Biological Survey. Since 1980, the status lists have been updated biennially. This list became effective on December 31, 2018 and will be revised again in 2020.
