Title: Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Reclassification of Smooth Coneflower  
Abstract:

The latest 5-year review for the smooth coneflower (Echinacea laevigata), which is currently listed as endangered, recommended downlisting. Accordingly, we are reassessing the listing status of this species. Our proposed determination will be based on the best available information as of the time of publication, which means that we may propose to downlist or delist the species, unless we determine that no change in status is warranted. This plant is found in North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, and Georgia.
