The Florida Plant Conservation Program originated in 1992 to work toward 
the recovery of federally-listed endangered and threatened plant species 
in Florida.  As of October, 1998, Florida had 55 plant taxa listed under 
the U. S. Endangered Species Act as Endangered (44) or Threatened (11). 
The Program is funded through grants from the U. S. Department of 
Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service under Section 6 of the U. S. 
Endangered Species Act. These grants are given as 75:25 matching funds. 
Each project is responsible for acquiring the project's match (25%) for 
the federal funds (75%).  The goal of the Florida Plant Conservation 
Program is to restore and maintain existing populations of listed plants 
on public land and on private lands managed for conservation purposes. 
Previous or ongoing projects address demography, monitoring, 
reintroduction, germination, pollination, and other aspects of 
population ecology.  The proposal format is included for anyone 
interested in submitting a proposal.  Comments to the Florida Division
