APPROVED PLANT LIST Midtown Alliance Tree Well Adoption Program
APPROVED PLANT LIST Midtown Alliance Tree Well Adoption Program Midtown Alliance launched the Tree Well Adoption program with the primary goal of enriching the experience of Midtown’s workers and residents while encouraging sustainability through the use of low-water, urban tolerant plant species. This list of plants was created to aid individuals and organizations in selecting plant material to plant in their adopted tree wells. This plant list is intended to encourage individual character in the tree wells, rather than restrict creativity in the selection of plants. The plants on the approved list were selected based on the following criteria: • Perennial. All plants listed are perennial, meaning they last for two or more growing seasons. Once established, these plants will require less water to maintain than annuals. • Heat tolerant. Plants in tree wells are exposed to high temperatures caused by vehicles and heat reflected from surrounding buildings, asphalt, and other urban surfaces. They must also be tolerant to high daytime temperatures, typical of Atlanta’s summer months, and cold hardy in the winter months. Atlanta is located in USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 7b/8a. • Water wise. Urban tree wells are surrounded by impervious surfaces and thus, are highly susceptible to periods of drought. Suitable plants must be able to survive periods of low rainfall. • Pollution tolerant. Vehicle exhaust may leave deposits and pollutants on plant foliage, which can kill sensitive plants. • Encourage wildlife. Flowering plants attract insects such as butterflies while others provide food sources for birds and other wildlife. • Grown locally. Many of the plants listed are native to the Atlanta area, and all can be found at local nurseries. -

"National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary."
Intro 1996 National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands The Fish and Wildlife Service has prepared a National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary (1996 National List). The 1996 National List is a draft revision of the National List of Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1988 National Summary (Reed 1988) (1988 National List). The 1996 National List is provided to encourage additional public review and comments on the draft regional wetland indicator assignments. The 1996 National List reflects a significant amount of new information that has become available since 1988 on the wetland affinity of vascular plants. This new information has resulted from the extensive use of the 1988 National List in the field by individuals involved in wetland and other resource inventories, wetland identification and delineation, and wetland research. Interim Regional Interagency Review Panel (Regional Panel) changes in indicator status as well as additions and deletions to the 1988 National List were documented in Regional supplements. The National List was originally developed as an appendix to the Classification of Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the United States (Cowardin et al.1979) to aid in the consistent application of this classification system for wetlands in the field.. The 1996 National List also was developed to aid in determining the presence of hydrophytic vegetation in the Clean Water Act Section 404 wetland regulatory program and in the implementation of the swampbuster provisions of the Food Security Act. While not required by law or regulation, the Fish and Wildlife Service is making the 1996 National List available for review and comment. -

Revised and Recirculated) Biological Resources
Section 4..2 (Revised and Recirculated) Biological Resources Note to reader: The County of San Bernardino has previously circulated for public review and comment the March 25, 2010, Draft Environmental Impact Report on the proposed Deep Creek project. Since the close of the public comment period for that DEIR, the County has made changes to Section 4.2, Biological Resources, of the DEIR. This revised Section 4.2 supersedes and replaces Section 4.2, Biological Resources, which was included in the March 25, 2010, DEIR. The County has elected to recirculate the revised Section 4.2 for public review and comment. Pursuant to Section 15088.5(c) of the CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3), only Section 4.2 of the DEIR is being recirculated. Pursuant to Section 15088.5(f)(2) of the CEQA Guidelines, the County (i) is requesting that reviewers limit their comments to the revised Section 4.2, (ii) will respond to previously submitted comments on all portions of the previously circulated DEIR, except those made with respect to the now-superseded Section 4.2, and (iii) will respond to comments made during the recirculation period to the revised Section 4.2. Additionally, certain issues have previously been adjudicated, such as the evaluation and mitigation of potential impacts to the California desert tortoise and Mohave ground squirrel, and ultimately may be determined by the courts not to be subject to additional judicial review. 4.2 BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES This section evaluates the potential impacts on biological resources resulting from the implementation of the project. -
Barcoding the Asteraceae of Tennessee, Tribe Coreopsideae
Schilling, E.E., N. Mattson, and A. Floden. 2014. Barcoding the Asteraceae of Tennessee, tribe Coreopsideae. Phytoneuron 2014-101: 1–6. Published 20 October 2014. ISSN 2153 733X BARCODING THE ASTERACEAE OF TENNESSEE, TRIBE COREOPSIDEAE EDWARD E. SCHILLING, NICHOLAS MATTSON, AARON FLODEN Herbarium TENN Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology University of Tennessee Knoxville, Tennessee 37996 [email protected]; [email protected] ABSTRACT Results from barcoding studies of tribe Coreopsideae for the Tennessee flora using the nuclear ribosomal ITS marker are presented and include the first complete reports for 2 of the 20 species of the tribe that occur in the state, as well as updated reports for several others. Sequence data from the ITS region separate most of the species of Bidens in Tennessee from one another, but species of Coreopsis, especially those of sect. Coreopsis, have ITS sequences that are identical (or nearly so) to at least one congener. Comparisons of sequence data to GenBank records are complicated by apparent inaccuracies of older sequences as well as potentially misidentified samples. Broad survey of C. lanceolata from across its range showed little variability, but the ITS sequence of a morphologically distinct sample from a Florida limestone glade area was distinct in lacking a length polymorphism that was present in other samples. Tribe Coreopsideae is part of the Heliantheae alliance and earlier was often included in an expanded Heliantheae (Anderberg et al. 2007) in which it was usually treated as a subtribe (Crawford et al. 2009). The tribe shows a small burst of diversity in the southeastern USA involving Bidens and Coreopsis sect. -

Coastal Landscaping in Massachusetts Plant List
Coastal Landscaping in Massachusetts Plant List This PDF document provides additional information to supplement the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management (CZM) Coastal Landscaping website. The plants listed below are good choices for the rugged coastal conditions of Massachusetts. The Coastal Beach Plant List, Coastal Dune Plant List, and Coastal Bank Plant List give recommended species for each specified location (some species overlap because they thrive in various conditions). Photos and descriptions of selected species can be found on the following pages: • Grasses and Perennials • Shrubs and Groundcovers • Trees CZM recommends using native plants wherever possible. The vast majority of the plants listed below are native (which, for purposes of this fact sheet, means they occur naturally in eastern Massachusetts). Certain non-native species with specific coastal landscaping advantages that are not known to be invasive have also been listed. These plants are labeled “not native,” and their state or country of origin is provided. (See definitions for native plant species and non-native plant species at the end of this fact sheet.) Coastal Beach Plant List Plant List for Sheltered Intertidal Areas Sheltered intertidal areas (between the low-tide and high-tide line) of beach, marsh, and even rocky environments are home to particular plant species that can tolerate extreme fluctuations in water, salinity, and temperature. The following plants are appropriate for these conditions along the Massachusetts coast. Black Grass (Juncus gerardii) native Marsh Elder (Iva frutescens) native Saltmarsh Cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora) native Saltmeadow Cordgrass (Spartina patens) native Sea Lavender (Limonium carolinianum or nashii) native Spike Grass (Distichlis spicata) native Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) native Plant List for a Dry Beach Dry beach areas are home to plants that can tolerate wind, wind-blown sand, salt spray, and regular interaction with waves and flood waters. -
Prairie Garden
GARDEN PLANS Prairie Garden NATIVE PLANTS HELP MAKE THIS GARDEN NEARLY FOOLPROOF. One of the best things about planting native plants is that they are extraordinarily hardy and easy to grow. This prairie-inspired garden is a catalog of plants that Midwestern settlers would have found when they arrived. False blue indigo, wild petunia, prairie blazing star, and Indian grass are just a sample in this varied garden. Like the true prairie, this garden enjoys full sun and tolerates summer heat.
