Threatened and endangered vascular plant species of the New Jersey Pinelands and their habitats

Within this century, several species of plants native to the New Jersey Pinelands have become jeopardized with extinction. In order to bring this issue to light, 71 rare species (including ferns, grasses, sedges and broadleaved plants) have been inventoried and assigned Endangered, Threatened or Undetermined status for the Pinelands in this report. Descriptions of specific habitats, general locations, geographic affinities, flowering times, and listings by habitat type, watershed and county are also given for each Endangered and Threatened species. A study of this information shows that more of the inventoried species are found in wetland habitats than in the drier, upland areas of the Pinelands.The preparation of this document was financed in part through a planning grant from the National Park Service, Department of Interior, under the provisions of the Land and Water Conservation Fund Act of 1965 (Publlc Law 88-578, as amended)
