DEC PROTECTED NATIVE PLANT LIST New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Division of Lands and Forest (518) 457-7370 New York State, for the first time, has given official recognition to truly rare plants. Four lists of plants are included in the new regulation. These lists are endangered, threatened, exploitably vulnerable and rare. The exploitably vulnerable list contains plants that are commercially exploited. The regulation gives landowners additional rights to prosecute collections that take plants without permission. Violators of the regulation are subject to fines of $25 per plant illegally taken. Each list of plants has its own criteria for listing. If a plant occurring in New York is recognized as endangered or threatened by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, it is automatically given protection under the State regulation. Plant names follow those in the book entitled A Checklist of New York State Plants, by Richard S. Mitchell. Scientific names will be used to determine any violation of the regulation. It is expected that the lists will be useful for environmental planning, determining the classification of wetlands and in educating the public on the relative rareness of plants. The lists were developed through the cooperative efforts of the New York State Science Service, the New York Natural Heritage Program and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. Many individuals and organizations contributed ideas and suggestions for improving the regulation. It is anticipated that the regulation will be changed every two or three years to reflect new information on the status of plants. EXPRESS TERMS 6 NYCRR Par 193.3 is repealed. A new Par 193.3 is adopted to read as follows: 193.3 Protected native plants. (a) All plants enumerated on the lists of endangered species in subdivision (b) of this section, threatened species in subdivision (c) of this section, exploitably vulnerable species in subdivision (d) of this section, or rare species in sub division (e) of this section are protected native plants pursuant to section 9-1503 of the Environmental Conservation Law. The common names contained on these lists are in cluded for information purposes only; the scientific name shall be used for the purpose of determining any violation. Site means a colony or colonies of plants separated from other colonies by at least one-half mile. (o) The following are endangered native plants in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of their ranges within the state and requiring remedial action to prevent such extinction. Listed plants are those with 5 or fewer existent sites, or fewer than 1,000 individuals, or restricted to fewer than 4 U.S.G.S. 7 1/2 minutes series maps, or species listed as endangered by the United States Department of Interior in the Code of Federal Regulations. 27
