Title: Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Listing Determination for Three South Florida Plants (Cable Sable Thoroughwort et al.) 
Abstract: FWS will make a listing determination for three South Florida plants pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973. On 10/11/2012, FWS proposed to list as endangered or threatened the aboriginal prickly-apple (Harrisia aboriginum), Cape Sable thoroughwort (Chromolaena frustrata (= Eupatorium frustratum)), and Florida semaphore cactus (Consolea corallicola). The aboriginal prickly-apple is an erect cactus occurring on coastal berms, spoil mounds, maritime hammocks, shell middens, and at the mangrove-hammock ecotone in Sarasota, Charlotte, and Lee Counties in southwest Florida. The Cape Sable thoroughwort is an herb endemic to the Florida Keys and Cape Sable in Monroe and Miami-Dade Counties, and is most commonly found at the edges of rockland hammock and in coastal rock barrens. The Florida semaphore cactus is an erect, trunk-forming cactus endemic to the Florida Keys and growing on bare rock with minimal soils between rockland hammocks and mangrove swamps. Our critical habitat rule for this is under RIN 1018-AZ51.
