Hill, Pmtaph@oi&s Duhamel, m. ilkeg* (=D&@a Rafin.1 and Dwksnea Smith are treated as congeneric synqnyms of Potantilla L. smr. strict0 ; nine sub- genera are recognised with keys to their ~denhficat~onand nomenclatural set up. The origin of the genus Potmtilla L. is discussed and evolutionary trends within the subgencra hypothesized. INTRODUCTION ARGENTINAJ. Hill vis-a-vis POTENTILLAL.

Rydberg (1908) and P. anserina as the most primitive member of Hutchinson (I 964) recognised 16 genera the subfam. Rosoideae in terms of chemical within the tribe Potentilleae, of which characters. Wolf (1908) also considered his species belonging to eight genera, viz. pex Anserinae Wolf (with P. anserina, Argentina J.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Autumn willow, Salix serissima (Bailey) Fern., is an obligate wetland shrub that occurs in fens and bogs in the northeastern United States and eastern Canada. Disjunct populations of autumn willow occur in the Black Hills of South Dakota. Only two populations occur on Black Hills National Forest lands: a large population at McIntosh Fen and a small population on Middle Boxelder Creek.

  • Floristic Quality Assessment Report
    FLORISTIC QUALITY ASSESSMENT IN INDIANA: THE CONCEPT, USE, AND DEVELOPMENT OF COEFFICIENTS OF CONSERVATISM Tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera) the State tree of Indiana June 2004 Final Report for ARN A305-4-53 EPA Wetland Program Development Grant CD975586-01 Prepared by: Paul E. Rothrock, Ph.D. Taylor University Upland, IN 46989-1001 Introduction Since the early nineteenth century the Indiana landscape has undergone a massive transformation (Jackson 1997). In the pre-settlement period, Indiana was an almost unbroken blanket of forests, prairies, and wetlands. Much of the land was cleared, plowed, or drained for lumber, the raising of crops, and a range of urban and industrial activities. Indiana’s native biota is now restricted to relatively small and often isolated tracts across the State. This fragmentation and reduction of the State’s biological diversity has challenged Hoosiers to look carefully at how to monitor further changes within our remnant natural communities and how to effectively conserve and even restore many of these valuable places within our State. To meet this monitoring, conservation, and restoration challenge, one needs to develop a variety of appropriate analytical tools. Ideally these techniques should be simple to learn and apply, give consistent results between different observers, and be repeatable. Floristic Assessment, which includes metrics such as the Floristic Quality Index (FQI) and Mean C values, has gained wide acceptance among environmental scientists and decision-makers, land stewards, and restoration ecologists in Indiana’s neighboring states and regions: Illinois (Taft et al. 1997), Michigan (Herman et al. 1996), Missouri (Ladd 1996), and Wisconsin (Bernthal 2003) as well as northern Ohio (Andreas 1993) and southern Ontario (Oldham et al.

Among the primi- tive instincts are the fondness for experimenting with un- familiar foods and the desire to be independent of the conventional sources of supply. All campers and lovers of out-of-door life delight to discover some new fruit or herb which it is safe to eat, and in actual camping it is often highly important to be able to recognize and secure fresh vegetables for the camp-diet; while in emergency the ready recognition of possible wild foods might save life. In these days, furthermore, when thoughtful people are wondering about the food-supply of the present and future generations, it is not amiss to assemble what is known of the now neglected but readily available vege- table-foods, some of which may yet come to be of real economic importance.

Koski 2015 iii THE EVOLUTIONARY ECOLOGY OF ULTRAVIOLET FLORAL PIGMENTATION Matthew H. Koski, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2015 The color of flowers varies widely in nature, and this variation has served as an important model for understanding evolutionary processes such as genetic drift, natural selection, speciation and macroevolutionary transitions in phenotypic traits. The flowers of many taxa reflect ultraviolet (UV) wavelengths that are visible to most pollinators. Many taxa also display UV reflectance at petal tips and absorbance at petal bases, which manifests as a ‘bullseye’ color patterns to pollinators. Most previous research on UV floral traits has been largely descriptive in that it has identified species with UV pattern and speculated about its function with respect to pollination.

Summary. A new system of subtribe Potentillinae J. Presl down to the rank of sections is presented. The Fragari- astrum and Tormentilla groups of the genus Potentilla L. is classified here as distinct genera, supported by results of molecular studies and morphological differences. Most of species of these groups formerly included in Potentilla are transferred to the separate genera Fragariastrum Heist. ex Fabr. and Tormentilla L. New combinations in Argentina Hill, Horkelia Cham. et Schltdl., and Potentilla are also validated; some sections of these genera are lectotypified. The need of a new typification of Potentilla with subsequent conservation of the name in order to avoid nomenclatural instability is briefly discussed; finally, five new sections withinArgentina are described.
