This is a list of Early Detection Species (EDS) for New England.
The list has been generated from a variety of different sources including herbarium specimens, published lists, literature, federal and state early detection efforts and the observations of numerous botanists and naturalists.
The list is available in both scientific and commonnames.
The binomial nomenclature used for animals and plants is largely derived from Latin, as are the names used for higher taxa such as families and orders.
It is helpful to most people to be able to understand the common words that arise from scientific names, and the table lists some of these; while the Latin names do not always correspond to the current English commonnames, they are often related, and if their meanings are understood they are easier to recall.
The list includes personal names only where their Latin form is markedly different from their English or other original language form, so that it might be difficult to guess the relationship.
