Pontederia Cordata L.) INHERITANCE OF MORPHOLOGICAL CHARACTERS OF PICKERELWEED (Pontederia cordata L.) By LYN ANNE GETTYS A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2005 Copyright 2005 by Lyn Anne Gettys ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank Dr. David Wofford for his guidance, encouragement and support throughout my course of study. Dr. Wofford provided me with laboratory and greenhouse space, technical and financial support, copious amounts of coffee and valuable insight regarding how to survive life in academia. I would also like to thank Dr. David Sutton for his advice and support throughout my program. Dr. Sutton supplied plant material, computer resources, career advice, financial support and a long-coveted copy of Gray’s Manual of Botany. Special thanks are in order for my advisory committee. Dr. Paul Pfahler was an invaluable resource and provided me with laboratory equipment and supplies, technical advice and more lunches at the Swamp than I can count. Dr. Michael Kane contributed samples of his extensive collection of diverse genotypes of pickerelweed to my program. Dr. Paul Lyrene generously allowed me to take up residence in his greenhouse when my plants threatened to overtake all of Gainesville. My program could not have been a success without the help of Dr. Van Waddill, who provided significant financial support to my project. I appreciate the generosity of Dr. Kim Moore and Dr. Tim Broschat, who allowed me to use their large screenhouses during my tenure at the Fort Lauderdale Research and Education Center. Thanks also go to my friends and advocates at the FLREC: Nancy Gaynor, Joanne Korvick, Luci Fisher and Susan Thor for technical and greenhouse assistance; Bill and Sarah Kern for identifying greenhouse critters; Bill Latham for providing me with access to the iii chemistry lab; and Bridge Desoran and his crew for building anything I asked them to in a completely unreasonable timeframe. I extend my sincere appreciation to Mr. Eric Ostmark and Mr. Doug Manning for providing technical support to my program in Gainesville. Thanks are also in order to Dr. Eastonce Gwata and Ms. Gabriela Luciani for helping out when I was in a bind and to the faculty and graduate students of the Agronomy Department for providing moral support throughout my tenure at the University of Florida. I truly appreciate the assistance provided by Kim, Paula, Sandy and Nancy (in Gainesville) and Cherie, Sarah, Veronica and Sue (in Fort Lauderdale), who helped navigate the labyrinth of paperwork to ensure that I got paid on time. I am eternally grateful to my family for their unflagging support of this and all of my endeavors. My parents, Mykel and Jody have been and continue to be my most enthusiastic cheerleaders; without their support I would probably be running a print shop somewhere. Thanks also go to Mr. Paul J. Best II, who provided unwavering friendship, moral support and a nice swampy home for my culled plants and to Dr. Ed Duke for being a fantastic mentor, advisor, inspiration and friend. Finally, I would like to thank the University of Florida Alumni Association for providing me with a 4-year Outstanding Alumni Fellowship and the Crop Science Society of America for awarding me a Gerald O. Mott Scholarship. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS page ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ................................................................................................. iii LIST OF

This article discusses the contrasting morphological, ecological, structural, and phylogenetic data that support this plant being placed in a genus distinct from Panax . Panax trifolius differs substantially from all other members of the genus (as previously circumscribed) in a number of traits. Its habit and phenology are useful starting points in the discussion of differences between this small herb and other species of Panax .

    Blazing Summer/4.qxd 11/28/07 2:04 PM Page 2 SUMMER 2006, VOLUME 7, ISSUE 3 NEWSLETTER OF THE NORTH AMERICAN NATIVE PLANT SOCIETY Native Plant to Know Pickerelweed RANTON G RIGITTE (Pontederia cordata) B ILLUSTRATION BY by P. Allen Woodliffe I first encountered pickerelweed as a summer student at Rondeau Provincial Park on the north shore of Lake Erie. I was exploring Rondeau’s huge coastal marsh looking for plants to use in an inter- pretive display. Among the large stands of cattail (Typha spp.) were channels where the water was deeper, allowing me to paddle my canoe more easily. However, within these open patches were clusters of emergent vegetation that slowed my progress – much to my delight. The dark green, shiny, heart-shaped leaves in combination with a robust spike of delicate, richly-coloured, bluish-purple flow- ers left an indelible impression on me. My field guide to wildflowers identified this gem of the wetlands as Pontederia cordata. Pickerelweed is a perennial and a member of the water-hyacinth (Pontederiaceae) family. The genus ‘Pontederia’ was named in honour of Giulio Pontedera (1688-1757), a botany professor in Padua, Italy. The species name ‘cordata’ refers to the cordate or heart-shaped leaves. The common name pickerelweed was given to this striking plant as it was believed that the wide leaves shading the water below provided good habitat for fish. Adding support to this idea is the fact that in the Ojibway language pickerelweed is known as ‘kinozhaeguhnsh’ or pike’s plant. Pontederia cordata is typically, and sometimes abundantly, found in freshwater streams, ponds, marshes or around the shallow, muddy edges of small lakes.

  • Changes in the Marsh and Aquatic Vascular Flora of East Harbor State Park, Ottawa County, Ohio, Since 18951
    CHANGES IN THE MARSH AND AQUATIC VASCULAR FLORA OF EAST HARBOR STATE PARK, OTTAWA COUNTY, OHIO, SINCE 18951 DAVID L. MOORE, Department of Botany, The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio 43210 Abstract. Numerous changes in the marsh and aquatic flora of East Harbor State Park have occurred since 1895. Of the 89 species collected and identified before 1900, 22 are no longer present. This represents a loss of approximately 25% of the species originally reported by Moseley (1899) and Pieters (1901). The species lost would rise to 42%, if those species formerly abundant, but now rare, or occurring as one or two small, isolated populations disappear. Probable causes for these changes are wind and water erosion, fluctuating water levels, dredging, establishment and spread of species new to the park, and increase or decrease in abundance of species already present.
