Declared Rare and Priority Flora List
{{Short description|Conservation flora classification system in Western Australia}}
{{No footnotes|date=February 2024}}
The Declared Rare and Priority Flora List is the system by which Western Australia's conservation flora are given a priority. Developed by the Government of Western Australia's Department of Environment and Conservation, it was used extensively within the department, including the Western Australian Herbarium. The herbarium's journal, Nuytsia, which has published over a quarter of the state's conservation taxa, requires a conservation status to be included in all publications of new Western Australian taxa that appear to be rare or endangered.
The system defines six levels of priority taxa:
;X
;T
;P1
;P2
;P3
;P4
