Table 1: ROTAP Coding System for Plants at Risk

Category	Coding	Definition
Plant Distribution	1	Known only from the type* collection
	2	Restricted distribution - range extending over less than 100km
	3	Range more than 100km but in small populations
Conservation Status	X	Presumed extinct - not collected for 50 years or the only known populations destroyed
	E**	Endangered - at serious risk in the short term (one or two decades)
	V**	Vulnerable - at risk over a longer period (20-50 years)
	R	Rare but with no current identifiable threat
	K	Poorly known species suspected of being at risk
Reservation Status	C	Species is known to occur within a proclaimed reserve
	a	Species is considered to be adequately reserved. 1000 or more plants occur within a proclaimed reserve
	i	Species is considered to be inadequately reserved. Less than 1000 plants occur within a proclaimed reserve
	-	Species is recorded from a reserve but the population size is unknown
	t	Total known species population is within a reserve
	Px	Western Australian Department of Conservation and Land Management (CALM) Priority Flora Code. Range from P1 (highest priority) to P4 (lowest priority).
	+	Species also occurs outside of Australia
* The "type" is the plant specimen used to originally describe a species. **Species considered to be either Endangered or Vulnerable are classified as "Threatened".
