Removal of Virginia Sneezeweed from the List of Endangered and Threatened Plants (Draft)
Aug. 5, 2025
USFWS propose to remove Virginia sneezeweed (Helenium virginicum) from the Federal List of Endangered and Threatened Plants. Their review indicates that the threats to Virginia sneezeweed have been eliminated or reduced to the point that the species no longer meets the definition of an endangered or threatened species under the ESA. Accordingly, they propose to delist Virginia sneezeweed. If finalized the prohibitions and conservation measures provided by the Act, particularly through sections 7 and 9, would no longer apply to Virginia sneezeweed. They will accept comments received or postmarked on or before 6 October 2025. POC is Troy Andersen, Field Office Supervisor, Virginia Field Office, 6669 Short Lane, Gloucester, VA 23061; tele: 804-728-0695. (Federal Register 5 August 2025 [Proposed Rule] Pages 37445-37457)
