Title: Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Removing Adiantum vivesii From the Federal List of Endangered and Threatened Plants 
Abstract:

As proposed, this rulemaking action would remove Adiantum vivesii (no common name), a plant species found in Puerto Rico, from the Federal List of Endangered and Threatened Plants. Our review of the best available scientific and commercial data indicate that A. vivesii is not a distinct species, but rather a sterile hybrid that does not have the capacity to establish a lineage that could be lost to extinction. Therefore, A. vivesii is not a listable entity under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended.
