Global Rank

G1- Critically imperiled globally, extremely rare, 5 or fewer occurrences. [Critically endangered throughout range.]
G2 - Imperiled globally, very rare, 6 to 20 occurences. [Endanged throughout range.]
G3 - Very rare and local throughout range or found locally in restricted range, 21 to 100 occurrences. [Threatened throughout range.]
G4 - Apparently secure globally.
G5 - Demonstrably secure globally.
GH - Of historical occurrence through its range.
G#T# - “G”= species rank; “T” = rank of variety or subspecies taxa.
GU - Possible in peril range-wide, but stats uncertain.
GX - Believed to be extinct throughout range.
Q - Qualifier denoting questionable taxonomic assignment.
? - Not ranked to date: or Qualifier denoting uncertain rank.
C - Captive population exists.

Federal Rank

LE - Listed Endangered.
LT - Listed Threatened.
LELT - Listed Endangered in part of range, Threatened in a different part.
PE - Proposed to be listed Endangered.
PT - Proposed to be listed Threatened.
E(S/A) or T(S/A) - Listed Endangered or Threatened on basis of Similiarity of Appearance.
DL - Delisted Endangered/Threatened.
C1 - Candidate, Category 1. USFWS has substantial information on biological vulnerability and threats to support proposing to list as endangered or threatened. Data are being gathered on habitat needs and/or critical habitat designations.
C1* - C1, but lacking know occurrences.
C1** - C1, but lacking known occurrences, except in captivity/cultivation.
C2 - Candidate, Category 2. Information indicates that proposing to list as endangered or threatened is possibly appropriate, but substantial data on biological vulnerability and threats are not currently known to support the immediate preparation of rules. Further biological research and field study will be necessary to ascertain the status and/or taxonomic validity of the taxa in Category 2.
C2* - C2, but lacking know occurrences.
C2** - C2, but lacking known occurrences, except in captivity/cultivation.
3 - Taxa no longer being considered for listed as threatened or endangered. Three subcategories indicate the reasons for removal from consideration.
3A - Former Candidate, rejected because presumed extinct and/or habitats destroyed.
3B - Former Candidate, rejected because not a recognized taxon; i.e., synonym or hybrid.
3C - Former Candidate, rejected because more common, widespread, or adequately protected.
XE - Essential Experimental Population.
XN - Non-essential Experimental Population.
