| Endangered: | A species of plants native to the state that are in imminent danger of extinction within the state, the survival of which is unlikely if the causes of a decline in the number of plants continue, and includes all species determined to be endangered or threatened pursuant to the Federal Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended. |
| Threatened: | Listed as Threatened Plants in the Preservation of Native Flora of Florida Act. Defined as species of plants native to the state that are in rapid decline in the number of plants within the state, but which have not so decreased in such number as to cause them to be endangered. |

WAP: Wetland Assessment Procedure
Wetland Assessment Procedure (WAP): Source - Southwest Florida Water Management District, Wetland Assessment Procedure Instruction Manual for Isolated Wetlands (March 2005).
| AD: | Adaptive Species. Plant species designated as FAC or Upland by DEP, but commonly seen in the transition zone in limited numbers. |
| D: | Deep Species. Plant species commonly found in the deep zone, and designated either FAC or OBL by DEP. |
| OD: | Outer Deep Species. Plant species commonly found in the outer deep zone, and designated either FACW or OBL by DEP. |
| T: | Transition Species. Plant species commonly found in the transition zone, and designated either FACW or OBL by DEP. |
| U: | Upland Species. Plant species that are not expected to be seen in wetlands. |
- ANY - WAP critieria is not taken into consideration

- No - Show results without WAP designations
FISC: Florida Invasive Species Council
| FISC: |
Source - Florida Invasive Species Council's 2017 List of Florida's Most Invasive Species Category I - Species that are invading and disrupting native plant communities in Florida. This definition does not rely on the economic severity or geographic range of the problem, but on the documented ecological damage caused. Category II - Species that have shown a potential to disrupt native plant communities. These species may become ranked as Category I, but have not yet demonstrated disruption of natural Florida communities. |
DEP: Department of Environmental Protection
Wetland Status, Department of Environmental Regulation (DEP): Source - Delineation of the Landward Extent of Wetlands and Surface Waters, Chapter 62-340, Florida Administrative Code. 1994.
| OBL: | Obligate wetland. Occurs almost always under natural conditions in wetlands. |
| FACW: | Facultative Wetland. Usually occurs in wetlands, but occasionally found in non-wetlands |
| FAC: | Facultative. equally likely to occur in wetlands or non-wetlands. |

| OBL: | Obligate Wetland. Occurs almost always (estimated probability 99%) under natural conditions in wetlands. |
| FACW: | Facultative Wetland. Usually occurs in wetlands (estimated probability 67%-99%), but occasionally found in non-wetlands. |
| FAC: | Facultative. Equally likely to occur in wetlands or non-wetlands (estimated probability 34%-66%). |
| FACU: | Facultative Upland. Usually occurs in non-wetlands (estimated probability 67%-99%), but occasionally found in wetlands (estimated probability 1%-33%). |
