Plant Historic List

This list contains plant taxa which have been documented by herbarium voucher specimens to have occurred in Massachusetts in the past, yet have not been documented here in the past 25 years.

The conservation status of a species is designated by a number (1-5) and preceded by a letter reflecting the appropriate geographic scale of the assessment.  S Rank refers to "subnational" or the local/state status, while G Rank refers to the "global" status (looking at the species as a whole).
