Data Source for Plants

The default plant list and their regional wetland indicators were downloaded from the US Army Corps of Engineers website.

Currently, we are using the 1988 plant list. We have plans to implement the 1996 list at some point in the future. When that happens, users will be able to use either the 1988 or 1996 list.

What if a plant is not in the list?

If you are an administrator, you can add more plants to your database through the 'Manage Plants' dialog. Other users within your group will be able to use any plants you enter. You can also edit or delete any of the plants that have been added for your company. You cannot delete or edit a plant that is part of the default plant list from the COE.
