Lifeform: G = grass.  S = shrub.  T = tree.  V = vine.  F = forb (a broad-leaved herb other than a grass).

BRDCat: Categorization according to the Biological Resources Division of the U.S. Geological Survey in Sequoia National Park-the four categories are described below (excerpted from the report Exotic Species Threat Assessment ... available at the Sequoia National Park website). 
Category 1 species are exotics that are currently restricted to a relatively small number of sites in each park and have either been shown to greatly affect native vegetation or have a high probability of causing serious impacts. 
Category 2 species are ones that generally have a lesser affect on native vegetation and are restricted to a relatively small number of sites. 
Category 3 species are those that have been shown to have a great effect on native vegetation: are broadly distributed in the parks: and are apparently increasing their ranges within the parks. 
Category 4 species are those that were detected by the surveys but not assigned to one of the three ranked categories and are considered low priority species.
