Funding to produce this Action Plan was provided by the Elizabeth Ordway Dunn Foundation through a grant to the Center for Plant Conservation, for which we are exceedingly grateful. Special thanks go to D. Garvue, D. Gordon, A. Johnson, G. Knight, J. Shaw, and T. Race for extensive reviews and comments on earlier drafts of this text. Input from the Florida Rare Plant Task Force, convened on May 15 and 16, 1995 at Bok Tower Gardens (Lake Wales, FL), and from many other agency and NGO biologists and managers, was instrumental in completing this document.
