SCI-NAME (Scientific Name) 



The genus and species applied to the taxon by the National List of 

 Scientific Plant Names (1982). 



SYMBOL 



Symbol assigned in the National List of Scientific Plant Names (1982), 

 consisting of the first two letters of the genus name and the first two 

 letters of the specific epithet, with additional numbers added in numeric 

 sequence to the four-letter symbol to break ties. Tentative plant 

 symbols for species not in the National List of Scientific Plant Names 

 (1982) have been created by taking the first two letters of the genus and 

 specific epithet, adding a numeric tie breaker, if necessary, and ending 

 with a question mark. All species have a unique symbol. 



AUTHOR 



The author of the scientific name as cited by the National List of 

 Scientific Plant Names (1982). 



SYNONYMY 



Alternate scientific names applied to the species by major regional or 

 State floras. 



TRINOM (Trinomial) 



Varieties, subspecies, or forms which differ in Indicator assignment from 

 the species. 



NAT-IND (National Range Of Indicators) 



The National Indicators reflect the range of estimated probabilities 

 (expressedas a frequency of occurrence) of a species occurring in wetland 

 versus nonwetland across the entire distribution of the species. A 

 frequency, for example, of 67%-99% (Facultative Wetland) means that 67%-99% 

 of sample plots containing the species randomly selected across the range 

 of the species would be wetland. Aquestion mark (?) following an Indicator 

 denotes a tentative assignment based on the botanical literature and not 

 confirmed by regional review. When two indicators are given, they reflect 

 the range from the lowest to the highest frequency of occurrence in 

 wetlands across the regions in which the species is found. A positive (+) 

 or negative (-) sign was used with the Facultative Indicator categories 

 to more specifically define the regional frequency of occurrence in 

 wetlands. The positive sign indicates a frequency toward the higher end 

 of the category (more frequently found in wetlands), and a negative sign
