| SRank:
priority ranking (1 to 5) based on
the number of occurrences of an element
within a State. |
| S1 |
Very
Rare: 1 to 5 occurrences in the State
or very few individuals or acres within
the state. |
| S2 |
Rare:
6 to 20 occurrences in the State or
few individuals or acres within the
state. |
| S3 |
Uncommon
or Restricted: 21 to 50 occurrences
in the State, either rather rare throughout
a fairly wide range, or fairly common
in a rather restricted range within
the State. |
| S3S4 |
Fairly
Common: 51 to 100 occurrences and found
over a rather wide range within the
State. |
| S4 |
Apparently
Secure: more than 100 occurrences within
the State, though it could be quite
rare in some parts of the State. |
| S5 |
Demonstrably
Secure: more than 100 occurrences within
the State. |
| SA |
State
Accidental: not expected to be found
in the State on a predictable basis. |
| SB |
State
Breeding: populations which breed and
tend to be present in the state year
round; generally used in conjunction
with SN Rank when taxon has both migratory
(non-breeding) and non-migratory (breeding)
populations. |
| SC |
State
Captive or Cultivated: presently extant
in the state only in captivity or cultivation. |
| SE |
State
Exotic: may be native elsewhere in
the United States, but is an established
exotic within the State; numeric designations
as for state rank. |
| SEH |
State
Exotic Historic: exotic within the
state and not verified within the past
20 years. |
| SER |

Exotic Reported: reported from the
State, but without persuasive evidence
to either accept or reject the report;
if it does occur in the State it is
an established exotic. |
| SH |
State
Historic: historical occurrences in
the state, perhaps having not been
verified in the past 20 years, and
suspected to be still extant. |
| SN |
State
Non-breeding: usually migratory and
typically non-breeding in the State;
numeric designation follows "N" if
occurs at definite (defensible) locality. |
| SP |
State
Potential: theoretically may exist
in the State, but no documentation
is available to prove or disprove its
existence. |
| SR |
State
Reported: reported from the State,
but without persuasive evidence to
either accept or reject the report. |
| SRF |
State
Reported Falsely: reported in error
from the State and this error persists
in the literature. |
| SU |
State
Unrankable: unrankable at the State
level. |
| SYN |

an SRank, i.e. stands alone.) |
