Updating the List The first five year update was delayed for unforeseen circumstances. In 2017 2019, the PCP staff worked with the Scientific Committee to propose systematic updates the North Carolina Protected Plant Species List. Keeping the evaluation methodology the same, the committee decided that rather than including all 900 tracked plant taxa, only a subset would be evaluated during this and future list updates. First, all newly named or newly documented species (in North Carolina) that were not included in previous review processes would be evaluated. Second, Special Concern Historical species that had been rediscovered in the state would be evaluated. Lastly, a set of thresholds was established that would identify those species for which NHP had received sufficient updates since the prior evaluation period to justify reevaluation.

These thresholds refer to changes in available data from the time of the previous update to the next update period:

1. Species with <20 viable occurrences and 2+ changes in the number of viable element occurrences,
