2021 Washington Vascular Plant Species of Conservation Concern
Washington Natural Heritage Progam. 2021. 2021 Washington Vascular Plant Species of Conservation Concern. Natural Heritage Report 2021-04. Washington State Department of Natural Resources. Olympia, Washington
For more than 40 years the Washington Natural Heritage Program (WNHP) has maintained a list of Washington plant species of conservation concern. Each of these species is ranked at the global and state scale following the standardized protocol of the NatureServe network (Faber-Langendoen et al. 2012). The Species of Conservation Concern help inform conservation decisions relating to rare plants on federal, state, private, and tribal lands (WDNR 2018). The Species of Conservation Concern list is periodically updated as new information becomes available on the status and distribution of rare plants in Washington. The following is an update of the July 2019 list (WNHP 2019). Three species have been dropped from the 2019 list, and 8 have been added. New species are indicated by a * preceding the species name (status changes are underlined for new data or crossed through for newly recognized errors).
