Status of Minnesota Native Wildflowers: State Endangered: A species is considered endangered if the species is threatened with extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range within Minnesota. State Threatened: A species is considered threatened if the species is likely to become endangered within the foreseeable future throughout all or a significant portion of its range within Minnesota. State Special Concern: A species is considered a species of special concern if, although the species is not endangered or threatened, it is extremely uncommon in Minnesota, or has unique or highly specific habitat requirements and deserves careful monitoring of its status. Species on the periphery of their range that are not listed as threatened may be included in this category along with those species that were once threatened or endangered but now have increasing or protected, stable populations. Federally Threatened: A species is likely to become endangered nationally within the foreseeable future.
