COMMON NAME 



A popular name applied to the species. Common name selection 

 generally follows Common Names for North American Plants 

 (Kartesz and Thieret, in press), but some common names follow 

 the current common name list maintained by the Soil 

 Conservation Service. 



HABIT 



The plant characteristics and life forms assigned to each 

 species in the National List of Scientific Plant Names (1982) 

 and by the Soil Conservation Service. Family names are listed 

 alphabetically under specific life forms restricted to these 

 families. 





The HABIT codes are combined to describe the life form of the 

 species (e.g., ANG means annual native grass, IT means 

 introduced tree) .
