Standing under a canopy of post oaks with Erin Taylor the ground covered in fallen leaves, we could not see any adder’s-tongues Diane Wetherbee until we swept away some of the post oak leaf litter. After some searching, a few leaves were found barely protruding from the ground. Once the search Gate Hosts Virginia Griffith image solidified in our brains we found several more plants. As we began to Sue Southworth carefully dig in the loose sandy soil literally hundreds of these tiny ferns were 972-219-7980 evident, just under the surface of the soil. Many of them had developed hori- zontal root systems that routinely budded vertically from the nodes. Mailing address: Lewisville Lake Environmental Learning Area Ferns are unlike most of the plants we grow in our gardens. They make no 1801 N. Mill Street, Suite A flowers, and no seeds. Instead, a mature fern produces spores which blow Lewisville, TX 75057 away on the wind. When they reach a spot in which to germinate, each spore will produce an intermediate stage called a gametophyte.

But the adder’s-tongue does www.facebook.com/ LLELALewisvilleLake not look very familiar even in its sporophyte stage. It is basically a small ellip- tical leaf which grows a little spore-producing stalk. continued At left, you can see why most people never notice adder’s- tongue at all. At right, notice the horizontally creeping root system of this fern, and one of its growth nodes We were originally summoned to this site for a plant rescue, as we were told the immediate area was going to become a road and these secretive little plants would be lost. However, before our departure we learned that the development plans had changed and they were in no danger after all. Great news! Since we found that there were thousands of the plants in the area, we were granted permission to remove a small number for relocation in appropriate habitat at LLELA. Currently some have been planted in like soils, while the remainder are growing in the LLELA propagation nursery. One more native plant has found a home at LLELA, as we work to rebuild our ecosystems…sometimes one diminutive species at a time. At left, a newly-dug adder’s-tongue is cradled in LLELA Director Ken Steigman’s hands. At right, a few of the adder’s-tongues are settled into pots in LLELA’s greenhouse. Did You Know? Species in the Adder’s-Tongue family (Ophioglossaceae) have the highest chromosome numbers of any known vascular plant species...as high as 600+ pairs. Humans have only 23 pairs.

  • Kimberly Norton Taylor1 and Dwayne Estes
    The floristic and community ecology of seasonally wet limestone glade seeps of Tennessee and Kentucky Kimberly Norton Taylor1 and Dwayne Estes Austin Peay State University Department of Biology and Center of Excellence for Field Biology Clarksville, Tennessee 37044, U.S.A. [email protected], [email protected] ABSTRACT An open, seasonally wet seep community supporting herbaceous vegetation occurs within the limestone cedar glade complex of the southeastern United States. The purpose of this study is to describe the floristic composition of these limestone glade seeps. A floristic inventory of 9 season- ally wet sites in central Tennessee and south-central Kentucky was performed, documenting 114 species and infraspecific taxa in 91 genera and 43 families. Vegetation analysis identified the dominant taxa as Eleocharis bifida (% IV 20.3), Sporobolus vaginiflorus (% IV 11.94), Hypericum sphaerocarpum (% IV 5.97), Allium aff. stellatum (% IV 4.71), Clinopodium glabellum/arkansanum (% IV 4.15), Schoenolirion croceum (% IV 3.89), Juncus filipendulus (% IV 3.89), and Carex crawei (% IV 3.84). Gratiola quartermaniae and Isoëtes butleri are also important members of the community and may serve as indicator species. A wetland assessment of the seep community was performed according to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual and appropriate regional supplements. Wetland vegetation requirements are satisfied in 8 of the 9 seasonally wet sites sampled. The limestone glade seeps appear to represent a previously unclassified seasonal wetland type. RESUMEN Una comunidad abierta, húmeda estacionalmente por filtración, compuesta por vegetación herbácea se da en el complejo de pantanos cal- cáreos de cedro del sureste de los Estados Unidos.

  • New and Noteworthy Additions to the Arkansas Fern Flora
    Peck, J.H. 2011. New and noteworthy additions to the Arkansas fern flora. Phytoneuron 2011-30: 1–33. NEW AND NOTEWORTHY ADDITIONS TO THE ARKANSAS FERN FLORA JAMES H. PECK Department Biology University of Arkansas at Little Rock 2801 S. University Ave. Little Rock, AR 72204 [email protected] ABSTRACT Since 1995, 11 fern taxa have been added to the Arkansas flora as new and native, including Asplenium montanum , A. ruta-muraria , A. septentrianale , A. ×trudellii , Athyrium angustum , Azolla caroliniana , Dryopteris goldiana , D. celsa × goldiana , Marsilea macropoda , Palhinhaea cernua , and Trichomanes intracatum . Of the reported Arkansas native ferns, one was deleted (Azolla caroliniana ), being subsumed by Azolla mexicana and now correctly known as Azolla microphylla . Since 1995, 20 fern taxa have been added to the Arkansas fern flora as new and naturalized, including Arachnioides simplicior , Athyrium nipponicum ‘Pictum’, Cyrtomium falcatum , C. fortunei , Dryopteris erythrospora , Hypolepis tenuifolia , Marsilea mutica , M. quadrifolia , Matteuccia struthiopteris , Nephrolepis exaltata , Polystichum tsus-sinense , Phegopteris decursive-pinnata , Salvinia minima , S. molesta , Selaginella braunii , S. kraussiana , S. k. ‘Aurea’, S. k. ‘Brownii’, S. k. ‘Goldtips’, and S. uncinata . Of the reported Arkansas naturalized ferns, one was deleted (C. fortunei ), being without a known voucher. There are now 97 native and 24 naturalized fern taxa known and documented in the Arkansas fern flora. The total Arkansas fern flora is now 121 taxa documented with 3019 county-level occurrence records. Noteworthy update records and comments are reported for 79 of 97 Arkansas native species and 25 Arkansas naturalized species. KEY WORDS : Arkansas, ferns, county distribution Over the last 30 years, studies have been conducted to document the diversity and abundance of the Arkansas fern [pteridophyte] flora.

Brentwood Blvd. St. Louis, Missouri 63144 [email protected] JUSTIN R. THOMAS Institute of Botanical Training, LLC 111 County Road 3260 Salem, Missouri 65560 [email protected] ABSTRACT An annotated checklist of the 2,961 vascular taxa comprising the flora of Missouri is presented, with conservatism rankings for Floristic Quality Assessment. The list also provides standardized acronyms for each taxon and information on nativity, physiognomy, and wetness ratings. Annotated comments for selected taxa provide taxonomic, floristic, and ecological information, particularly for taxa not recognized in recent treatments of the Missouri flora. Synonymy crosswalks are provided for three references commonly used in Missouri. A discussion of the concept and application of Floristic Quality Assessment is presented. To accurately reflect ecological and taxonomic relationships, new combinations are validated for two distinct taxa, Dichanthelium ashei and D. werneri , and problems in application of infraspecific taxon names within Quercus shumardii are clarified.

Unpublished report. April 2009. 62 pages plus appendices. INTRODUCTION The Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation's Division of Natural Heritage (DCR-DNH) was established to protect Virginia's Natural Heritage Resources. These Resources are defined in the Virginia Natural Area Preserves Act of 1989 (Section 10.1-209 through 217, Code of Virginia), as the habitat of rare, threatened, and endangered plant and animal species; exemplary natural communities, habitats, and ecosystems; and other natural features of the Commonwealth. DCR-DNH is the state's only comprehensive program for conservation of our natural heritage and includes an intensive statewide biological inventory, field surveys, electronic and manual database management, environmental review capabilities, and natural area protection and stewardship. Through such a comprehensive operation, the Division identifies Natural Heritage Resources which are in need of conservation attention while creating an efficient means of evaluating the impacts of economic growth. To achieve this protection, DCR-DNH maintains lists of the most significant elements of our natural diversity.
