Plants on the Chattahoochee-Oconee NF
Over the Life of the Forest Plan.
Known
Common Name Scientific Name Populations or Management
Occurrences Objective*
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Smooth coneflower Echinacea laevigata 25 2 and 3
Georgia aster Aster georgianus 4 2
Small-whorled pogonia Isotria medeoloides 32 1
Rock gnome lichen Gymnoderma lineare 1 1
Persistent trillium Trillium persistens 1 1
Relict trillium Trillium reliquum 0 4
Green pitcher plant ** Sarracenia oreophila 1 2 and 3
Swamp pink ** Helonias bullata 1 3
Large flowered skullcap ** Scutellaria montana 4 3
White fringeless orchid Platanthera integrilabia 1 1
* 1 = Maintain current number of populations/occurrences through protection and maintenance of existing sites.
2 = Increase number of populations/occurrences by improving and/or increasing available habitat and relying on natural recruitment rather than reintroduction and propagation.
3 = Increase number of populations/occurrences with the assistance of reintroduction and propagation efforts.
4 = Species is not currently documented from the forest; efforts will continue to document presence.
** The green pitcher plant and swamp pink sites, as well as two of the large flowered skullcap sites, are not naturally occurring. Plants were planted on NF land after being grown from local, genetic stock occurring on private land.
