The first table includes the Accepted Symbol in PLANTS; the Scientific Name as used in the National Wetland Plant List; the Author of the scientific name; the Common Name as used in the National Wetland Plant List; and the wetland indicator status for each species in each of the ten wetland regions. The second table includes the same information for the species in each of the 18 subregions recognized by the National Wetland Plant List. For explanations of wetland indicator statuses, regions, and subregions, see Interpreting Wetland Indicator Status.
