Minnesota counties (ordered alphabetically) are numbered from 1 (Aitkin) to 87 (Yellow Medicine).

GLOBAL R.>\..l\TK.: The abundance of an element globally, from Gl (critically imperiled due to extreme rarity on a world-wide basis) to G5 (demonstrably secure, though perhaps rare in parts of its range). Global ranks are detennined by the Conservation Science D.i vision of The Nature Conservancy. -I- INTENTIED STATUS: Desired protection status.

LAST OBSER'v'ED or Last Observed Date or Last Observation: Date of the most recent record of the element at the location. Latitude: The location at which the occurrence is mapped on Natural Heritage Program maps. NOTE: There are various levels of precision in the original information, but this is not reflected in the latitudetJ.ongitude data. For some of the data, particularly historical records, it was not possible to determine exactly where the original observation \Vas made (e.g. "Fort Snelling", or "the south shore of Lake Owasso "). Thus the latitude/longitude reflect the mapped location, and not necessarily the observation location. Legal: Tov.'nship~ range and section numbers. Long: [Longitude]. See NOTE under }:Latitude@ .. 1v1. MA~AGED AREA or Managed ..<\reais): Name or the federally, state, locally, or privately managed park, forest, preserve, etc., containing the occurrence, if any. If this field is blank, the element probably occurs on private land. If "(StATUTORY BOUNDARY)" occurs after the name of a managed area, the location may be a private inholding within the statutory boundary of a state forest or park. lvfaD Svm: [1\1ap Symbol].
