Establishing taxa as "present"

Read some of the previous messages on this topic from people who have
listened to the decision makers. It is clear the movers and shakers don't
want to add our plants to the list. This effort appears to be driven by
the hard core who don't want people growing anything not already native to
their immediate vicinity, and who regard any introduced plant as an
affront to nature. I predict the final rules for establishing plants as
"present" will be impossible to fulfill for any but the very largest
companies (that is, most able to provide substantial campaign
contributions.)
