CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE United States National Herbarium Volume XII, Part 3 TXE&3 OF AMERICAN GRASSES . / A STUDY OF THE AMERICAN SPECIES OF GRASSES DESCRIBED BY LINNAEUS, GRONOVIUS, SLOANE, SWARTZ, AND MICHAUX By A. S. HITCHCOCK z rit erV ^-C?^ 1 " WASHINGTON GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE 1908 BULLETIN OF THE UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM Issued June 18, 1908 ii PREFACE The accompanying paper, by Prof. A. S. Hitchcock, Systematic Agrostologist of the United States Department of Agriculture, u entitled Types of American grasses: a study of the American species of grasses described by Linnaeus, Gronovius, Sloane, Swartz, and Michaux," is an important contribution to our knowledge of American grasses. It is regarded as of fundamental importance in the critical sys- tematic investigation of any group of plants that the identity of the species described by earlier authors be determined with certainty. Often this identification can be made only by examining the type specimen, the original description being inconclusive. Under the American code of botanical nomenclature, which has been followed by the author of this paper, "the nomenclatorial t}rpe of a species or subspecies is the specimen to which the describer originally applied the name in publication." The procedure indicated by the American code, namely, to appeal to the type specimen when the original description is insufficient to identify the species, has been much misunderstood by European botanists. It has been taken to mean, in the case of the Linnsean herbarium, for example, that a specimen in that herbarium bearing the same name as a species described by Linnaeus in his Species Plantarum must be taken as the type of that species regardless of all other considerations.

  • Role of Wild Leguminous Plants in Grasslands Management in Forest Ecosystem of Protected Areas of Madhya Pradesh State
    Vol-6 Issue-2 2020 IJARIIE-ISSN(O)-2395-4396 Role of wild leguminous plants in grasslands management in forest ecosystem of Protected Areas of Madhya Pradesh State Muratkar G. D. , Kokate U. R G. D. Muratkar Department of Environmental Science , Arts , Science and Commerce college Chikhaldara , District Amravati 444807 U. R. Kokate Department of Botany , Arts , Science and Commerce college Chikhaldara , District Amravati 444807 ABSTRACT Grasslands in melghat forest are of annual , taller type with course grasses. The dominant grasses are Themeda quadrivalvis , Heteropogon contortus , Apluda mutica , Chloris barbata . The soil is murmi red with low water holding capacity , in some parts the soil diversity observed black , red soil with clay , silt , sand and loam. The grasses are annual and very few are perennials like Dicanthium annulatum , Dicanthium caricosum , Cynodon barberi , Bothrichloa bladhii. The palatability of th grasses depends upon the soil nutrients , chemicals. The soil in which the wild leguminous plants like Vigna trilobata , Phaseolus radiate , Glycine max , Rhyncosia minima shows the more distribution of wild leguminous plants the soil is with more nitrogenous content due to biological nitrogen fixation and the soil shows the effects on fodder value of the grasses. Keywords : Grasslands Protected Areas , palatable grasses , soil fertility , Wild leguminous plants Introduction Madhya Pradesh is one of those promising states in India.Whether it's Bandhavgarh or Kanha or Pench, each and every national park is far from the civilization and has a rustic charm of its own. Remarkable flora and fauna of these nine National Parks is matched by scenic landscapes along with the incredible diversity.

  • Of Dahlia Myths.Pub
    Cavanilles’ detailed illustrations established the dahlia in the botanical taxonomy In 1796, the third volume of “Icones” introduced two more dahlia species, named D. coccinea and D. rosea. They also were initially thought to be sunflowers and had been brought to Spain as part of the Alejandro Malaspina/Luis Neé expedition. More than 600 drawings brought the plant collection to light. Cavanilles, whose extensive correspondence included many of Europe’s leading botanists, began to develop a following far greater than his title of “sacerdote” (priest, in French Abbé) ever would have offered. The A. J. Cavanilles archives of the present‐day Royal Botanical Garden hold the botanist’s sizable oeu‐ vre, along with moren tha 1,300 letters, many dissertations, studies, and drawings. In time, Cavanilles achieved another goal: in 1801, he was finally appointed professor and director of the garden. Regrettably, he died in Madrid on May 10, 1804. The Cavanillesia, a tree from Central America, was later named for this famousMaterial Spanish scientist. ANDERS DAHL The lives of Dahl and his Spanish ‘godfather’ could not have been any more different. Born March 17,1751, in Varnhem town (Västergötland), this Swedish botanist struggled with health and financial hardship throughout his short life. While attending school in Skara, he and several teenage friends with scientific bent founded the “Swedish Topographic Society of Skara” and sought to catalogue the natural world of their community. With his preacher father’s support, the young Dahl enrolled on April 3, 1770, at Uppsala University in medicine, and he soon became one of Carl Linnaeus’ students.

  • Plant Fact Sheet for Annual Hairgrass (Deschampsia Danthonioides)
    Plant Fact Sheet ANNUAL HAIRGRASS Status Please consult the PLANTS Web site and your State Deschampsia danthonioides Department of Natural Resources for this plant’s current (Trin.) Munro status (e.g. threatened or endangered species, state Plant Symbol = DEDA noxious status, and wetland indicator values). Contributed by: USDA NRCS Plant Materials Center, Description and Adaptation Annual hairgrass is a fine textured, native, cool season Corvallis, Oregon grass with smooth, slender stems (culms) that are 10 to 60 cm tall. The form is upright to spreading, short, and somewhat tufted. The narrow leaf blades are hairless, rough on the edges, slightly in-rolled, 0.5 to 1.5 (2) mm wide, and 1 to 10 cm long. Flower heads (panicles) are open, 7 to 25 cm long, with ascending lower branches. Annual hairgrass occurs from near sea level at the coast to 8,000 feet in the Rocky Mountains. It is primarily found from Alaska south to Baja California and east to Montana and New Mexico; also the Northeast US and Chile. Key to identification: Annual hairgrass can be distinguished from slender hairgrass (Deschampsia elongata) and tufted hairgrass (Deschampsia cespitosa) by its weaker root development, fewer leaves, and smaller stature. Without close inspection it may be confused with other annual grasses, such as annual fescues (Vulpia spp.). Both may occur in waste areas. Consult botanical keys for proper identification. Relative abundance in wild: While most common in the Photo by Dale Darris, USDA NRCS Corvallis PMC. Pacific Coast states, the species can still be hard to locate. However, it can occur in large stands, especially in vernal Alternative Names pools dominated by annuals.
