"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. -

Botany Biological Evaluation
APPENDIX I Botany Biological Evaluation Biological Evaluation for Threatened, Endangered and Sensitive Plants and Fungi Page 1 of 35 for the Upper Truckee River Sunset Stables Restoration Project November 2009 UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE – FOREST SERVICE LAKE TAHOE BASIN MANAGEMENT UNIT Upper Truckee River Sunset Stables Restoration Project El Dorado County, CA Biological Evaluation for Threatened, Endangered and Sensitive Plants and Fungi PREPARED BY: ENTRIX, Inc. DATE: November 2009 APPROVED BY: DATE: _____________ Name, Forest Botanist, Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit SUMMARY OF EFFECTS DETERMINATION AND MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS AND/OR REQUIREMENTS One population of a special-status bryophyte, three-ranked hump-moss (Meesia triquetra), was observed in the survey area during surveys on June 30, 2008 and August 28, 2008. The proposed action will not affect the moss because the population is located outside the project area where no action is planned. The following species of invasive or noxious weeds were identified during surveys of the Project area: cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum); bullthistle (Cirsium vulgare); Klamathweed (Hypericum perforatum); oxe-eye daisy (Leucanthemum vulgare); and common mullein (Verbascum Thapsus). The threat posed by these weed populations would not increase if the proposed action is implemented. An inventory and assessment of invasive and noxious weeds in the survey area is presented in the Noxious Weed Risk Assessment for the Upper Truckee River Sunset Stables Restoration Project (ENTRIX 2009). Based on the description of the proposed action and the evaluation contained herein, we have determined the following: There would be no significant effect to plant species listed as threatened, endangered, proposed for listing, or candidates under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (ESA), administered by the U.S. -
Perennial Pepperweed Lepidium Latifolium L
perennial pepperweed Lepidium latifolium L. Synonyms: Cardaria latifolia (L.) Spach, Lepidium affine Ledebour, L. latifolium ssp. affine (Ledebour) Kitagawa, L. latifolium var. affine (Ledebour) C. A. Meyer, L. latifolium ssp. sibiricum Thellung, L. sibiricum Schweigger (1812), not Pallas (1776). Other common names: broadleaved pepperweed, broadleaved peppergrass, peppergrass mustard, perennial peppercress, tall whitetop, Virginia pepperweed Family: Brassicaceae Invasiveness Rank: 71 The invasiveness rank is calculated based on a species’ ecological impacts, biological attributes, distribution, and response to control measures. The ranks are scaled from 0 to 100, with 0 representing a plant that poses no threat to native ecosystems and 100 representing a plant that poses a major threat to native ecosystems. Description Perennial pepperweed grows from a widely spreading root system. Stems are numerous, erect, and 30 ½ to 91 cm tall. Basal leaves are entire to evenly toothed, up to 30 ½ cm long, and 5 to 7 ½ cm wide. Petioles are nearly equal to the blades in length. Stem leaves are reduced in size and lack petioles. Plants form dense clusters of flowers in pyramidal panicles. Flowers are white, very small, and approximately 1.5 mm long. Each fruit (silicle) contains 2 seeds (Douglas et al. 1998, Renz 2000, Whitson et al. 2000). Basal rosettes of Lepidium latifolium L. Photo by L. Mehrhoff. Ecological Impact Impact on community composition, structure, and interactions: Perennial pepperweed creates large, monospecific stands that displace native plants and animals (Corliss 1993, Renz 2000). Stands of perennial pepperweed increase the salt content of surrounding soil, favoring halophytes and eliminating other species. Infestations change plant species composition and diversity. -

The Genus Ranunculus : a Phytochemical and Ethnopharmacological Review

CHOUDHARY, M UZAIR, A SUBHAN IJAZ Department of pharmacy, Bahauddin Zakariya University, Multan, Pakistan. Email: [email protected] Received: 12 july 2012, Revised and Accep17 agu 2012 ABSTRACT The genus Ranunculus has been reviewed for distribution in the world, traditional uses, isolated chemical constituents and their pharmacological activities of some common species. Almost 600 species belong to the genus Ranunculus. It is distributed throughout the northern hemisphere and southern temperate regions in the tropic where they usually limited to higher altitude. The most common use of Ranunculus species in traditional medicines are anti-rheumatism, intermittent fever and rubefacient. The findings in some Ranunculus species of, for example, Protoanemonin (21) , anemonin (3) , may justify the uses of these species against fever, rheumatism and rubefacient in Asian traditional medicines. The aim of the present paper is to review the comprehensive knowledge of the plants of this genus including the traditional uses, chemical constituents and pharmacology. Keywords: Ranunculus; Anti-rheumatism; Anemonin; Intermittent fevers; Protoanemonin. INTRODUCTION are used for the compilation of all data. All the data are reported in alphabetical order.
