The Fish and Wildlife Service is removing the Hidden Lake bluecurls (Trichostema austromontanum ssp. compactum), a member of the mint family found in California, from the Endangered Species List, it said in a final rule. Threats to the species have been "eliminated or reduced to the point where it no longer meets the definition of an endangered species or a threatened species," FWS said. The delisting takes effect July 2.
