Final recovery plan for the Texas golden gladecress

This Draft Recovery Plan describes criteria for determining when the Texas golden gladecress (Leavenworthia texana) should be considered recovered and eligible for removal from the List of Endangered and Threatened Plants (50 CFR 17.12). It also lists site-specific actions that will be necessary to meet those criteria and estimates the time and cost for implementing recovery actions. Brief descriptions of the species’ status, habitat requirements, and limiting factors are included. The species status assessment also analyzed the species’ requirements, factors affecting its survival, and current conditions, to assess the current and future viability in terms of resiliency, redundancy, and representation (the ‘3R’s’). A detailed discussion of these and other topics pertinent to the recovery of Texas golden gladecress can be found in the Species Status Assessment (SSA; USFWS 2022, entire) and the Draft Recovery Implementation Strategy (RIS) available at https://ecos.fws.gov/. The RIS and SSA are finalized separately from the Recovery Plan and will be updated as necessary.
