2. The common names of species and subspecies of native flora listed in this section are provided for convenience and must not be relied upon for identification of any specimen due to the substantial variations in local usage of common names.

3. The State Forester Firewarden will rely to the extent practicable upon and hereby adopts by reference the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants, 2018 edition, and any subsequent edition issued by the International Association for Plant Taxonomy, or its successor organization, which has been approved by the State Forester Firewarden, to determine the correct names and synonyms of the species and subspecies of native plants critically endangered and threatened with extinction. Each new edition of the publication shall be deemed approved by the State Forester Firewarden, unless the edition is disapproved by the State Forester Firewarden within 60 days after the date of publication by the International Association for Plant Taxonomy, or its successor organization. The publication is available, free of charge, from the International Association for Plant Taxonomy at the Internet address https://www.iapt-taxon.org/nomen/main.php.

4. The State Forester Firewarden will review each subsequent edition of the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants to determine its suitability for this State. If the State Forester Firewarden determines that the most recent edition is not suitable, the State Forester Firewarden will hold a public hearing to review that determination. If, after the hearing, the State Forester Firewarden finally determines that the most recent edition is not suitable for this State, he or she will, within 30 days after that determination, give notice that the edition is not adopted by reference.
