Lichvar: 2013 National Wetland Plant List 4 In addition to the BONAP revisions, users requested that 112 wetland species be either reevaluated or added to the 2013 list. These requests were processed through standardized protocols. Each request was first evaluated by a Regional Panel (RP) consisting of one representative from each of the four agencies within the Corps regions where the species occurs. The RP reviewed the literature, interviewed other professional botanists, and used their personal field observations to assign wetland ratings. If the RP was in dispute about assigning a rating, the National Panel assigned the final wetland ratings. The species for which new or further review was requested are shown in Table 3 and are listed on the NWPL web site (http://wetland_plants.usace.army.mil/). The addition and reevaluation of 112 species resulted in 119 changes in wetland ratings at the national level. Twelve species that were already on the NWPL were reevaluated. Nine species were added in more than one Corps region. Seven others were determined to be UPL. Overall, these new additions, reevaluations, and nomenclature changes represent only a 1.2% change from the 2012 list. The resulting wetland ratings for the annual update are nearly evenly divided between the four wetland ratings categories in each of the 10 Corps wetland regions (Table 4). The exception is Hawaii, because the South Pacific Island subregion is dominated by FACU species. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Many people, agencies and organizations are involved in maintaining and improving the accuracy of the NWPL, and they are all thanked for their support and input. The bulk of the effort and thanks goes to the National and Regional Panel members across the country who dedicate significant time and energy responding to requests to evaluate endless lists of wetland plants. Many people in the public sector have made valuable suggestions and input about wetland species. Underlying these efforts is the work of several key people, who are thanked: John Kartesz at BONAP, who keeps the database updated, and Misako Nishino, who maintains the BONAP database; Rick Bates and John Guineau, who manage to keep millions of data points in the right places; and Jennifer Gillrich and Lindsey Lefebvre, who make it all happen. We thank the Wetland Regulatory Assistance Program of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for funding these efforts. REFERENCES Federal Register. 2012.

Lichvar: 2013 National Wetland Plant List 5 Table 2. Scientific names or actual named taxa removed from the National Wetland Plant List during the 2013 update. Actual named taxa marked with one asterisk were removed because they do not occur in North America in the wild, and the name with two asterisks was viewed to be invalid. The remaining names were removed due to taxonomic changes.
