Summary:

In order to be better stewards of the public lands used by military and their natural resources, the Land Condition-Trend Analysis (LCTA) Program was designed to inventory and monitor the Army's lands. One of the major components of LCTA is a floristic inventory. The LCTA floristic inventory for Pohakuloa Training Area (PTA) began in November 1988 and continues today. Numerous rare and endangered plants were discovered through the course of the initial inventory, prompting more extensive surveys and research. These surveys have added valuable information concerning the biology, ecology, and abundance of the rare taxa found on the installation. The report introduces the physical features of PTA, summarizes major threats to rare plant species on the installation, and outlines and illustrates information concerning each taxa. An updated list of species inhabiting the installation is provided as well.
