White wood aster (Eurybia divaricata) COSEWIC assessment and status report: chapter 10

EXISTING PROTECTION OR OTHER STATUS

Eurybia divaricata is currently designated as Threatened in Canada by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (Sharp et al., 1995).  This species has an S2 rank in Ontario, an S1 rank in Quebec, a National rank of N2 in Canada, and a Global rank of G5. This species does not have a COSSARO (Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources) status and is not legally protected in Ontario or Quebec.

This species is common throughout the rest of its range, although it does have an Srank of S2 in Maine and is listed as Threatened in that state (Table 3).  This is consistent with its distribution in North America and rarity at the northern edges of its range.
