CoccolobaJuss. 1789, is a genus of plants in the familyPolygonaceae. There is no common name in English for this genus, although many of the individual species have widely used common names. One species, the seagrapeC. uvifer is commonly cultivated, and the genus name is sometimes used to denote this species.
Coccoloba rugosa is a small evergreen tree 9 meters (30 feet) tall with a diameter of approximately 12.5 centimeters (5 inches).
Summary of Factors Affecting the Species The Endangered Species Act and implementing regulations found at 50 CFR 424.17(3) provide for the basis for determining a species to be endangered or threatened and for withdrawing a proposed rule when the proposal has not been found to be supported by available evidence.
The withdrawal is based on the likelihood of the species retaining its current distribution and numbers and the anticipated cooperation on the part of both Federal and Commonwealth agencies and non-governmental and private entities in the conservation of the species.
The bark is brown or gray and fissured, with faint rings at the nodes.
When the proposed rule was published (September 24, 1993; 58 FR 49960), the most recent available information indicated that Coccoloba rugosa was known from fewer than 1000 individuals at 14 sites in the subtropical moist forests of northern and eastern Puerto Rico.
The Service finds there is substantial disagreement with regard to the population status of Coccoloba rugosa, and, therefore, extends until March 31, 1995, the period within which to make a final listing determination on this species.
