Floristic Patterns in Coastal Rainforest of Shoalwater Bay, Central Queensland
362 Cunninghamia 8(3): 2004 McCarthy et al., Floristic patterns in coastal rainforest of Shoalwater Bay Floristic patterns in coastal rainforest of Shoalwater Bay, Central Queensland Peter McCarthy1, Peter Clarke2 and Jeremy Bruhl3 113 Knox St., Clovelly NSW 2031; 2Botany, School of Environmental Sciences and Natual Resources Management, University of New England, Armidale, NSW 2351, AUSTRALIA; 3Botanic Gardens and Domain Trust, Mrs Macquaries Rd, Sydney NSW 2000, AUSTRALIA. Abstract: A study was undertaken of the floristic patterns in coastal rainforest (low closed forest) of Shoalwater Bay, central Queensland. The site encompasses 60 km of coastline, extending from latitude 22° 08’ 30’’ to 22° 30’ 0” and longitude 150° 02’ 00” to 150° 24’ 30”. The rainforest grows on coastal Holocene sand dunes, swales and sand flats, distributed as a series of 27 discrete patches greater than one hectare along 60 kilometres of coastline. Mean patch size was 10.7 hectares (maximum 150 hectares). The flora was predominantly woody, and lacked the complex growth forms of Webb (1968). Floristic links with central and north Queensland were strong, with some species distributions extending into Malesia and the Pacific. Three physical strata, emergent (composed of trees), canopy (composed of trees, vines and epiphytes) and sub-canopy (trees, vines and herbs) were recognised. The herb layer was very poorly developed. Eighty-one species were recorded, representing 42 families and 72 genera. Sixty three quadrats were sampled across the rainforest patches to measure abundance of all vascular taxa using frequency score. Five floristic groups were defined from agglomerative classification analysis, one representing mixed forest, two representing low microphyll vine forest (LMVF) and two representing microphyll vine thicket (MVT). -

Also, the paper provides information about the hayfields floral richness, a great scientific value for Romania and Europe. The study of the flora was carried out in several stages: 2005-2008, 2013, 2017-2018. In the studied area, 397 taxa were identified, distributed in 82 families with therapeutic potential, represented by 164 medical taxa, 37 of them being in the European Pharmacopoeia 8.5. The study reveals that most plants contain: volatile oils (13.41%), tannins (12.19%), flavonoids (9.75%), mucilages (8.53%) etc. This plants can be used in the treatment of various human disorders: disorders of the digestive system, respiratory system, skin disorders, muscular and skeletal systems, genitourinary system, in gynaecological disorders, cardiovascular, and central nervous sistem disorders. In the study plants protected by law at European and national level were identified: Echium maculatum, Cephalaria radiata, Crambe tataria, Narcissus poeticus ssp. radiiflorus, Salvia nutans, Iris aphylla, Orchis morio, Orchis tridentata, Adonis vernalis, Dictamnus albus, Hammarbya paludosa etc. Keywords: Fărăgău, medicinal plants, human disease, Mureş County 1. -

Mamaki Rust Pucciniastrum Boehmeriae (Dietel) Syd
State of Hawaii New Pest Advisory DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE No. 16-01 May 2016 Mamaki Rust Pucciniastrum boehmeriae (Dietel) Syd. & P. Syd (Pucciniastraceae) Background In August 2013, a diagnostician at the University of Hawaii (UH) Agricultural Diagnostic Service Center, Komohana Research Station incidentally detected an unfamiliar rust on a mamaki (Pipturus albidus) leaf sample from a Hawaiian Acres, Kurtistown residential grower on the Big Island. Consequently, the rust sample was sent to the United States Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service, Systematic Mycology and Microbiology Laboratory (SMML), where it was promptly identified via morphological and molecular means as Pucciniastrum boehmeriae (Dietel) Syd. & P. Syd., a new record in both Hawaii and the U.S. A subsequent visit by the UH diagnostician and Hawaii Department of Agriculture (HDOA) staff to the initial detection site yielded only two more slightly rust infected leaves. Additional surveys at mostly nurseries and botanical gardens throughout the main Hawaiian Islands failed to detect the P. boehmeriae rust. In November 2015, leaf lesions were spotted on wild Boehmeria grandis (akolea) plants in the Southern Koolau Mountains on Oahu by HDOA staff. SMML confirmed the presence of P. boehmeriae on the Oahu akolea leaf samples in February 2016, thus increasing both the known local distribution and susceptible endemic host plant species in the Figure 1. Top view of akolea leaf infected with Pucciniastrum boehmeriae; inset: close - Urticaceae plant family. up. Importance of the Urticaceae in Hawaii Mamaki, akolea, and other related Hawaiian species in the Urticaceae (nettle) family have long been important food sources for various native species of Hawaiian fauna. -

Vascular Flora of Gus Engeling Wildlife Management Area, Anderson County, Texas
2003SOUTHEASTERN NATURALIST 2(3):347–368 THE VASCULAR FLORA OF GUS ENGELING WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT AREA, ANDERSON COUNTY, TEXAS 1 2,3 2 JASON R. SINGHURST , JAMES C. CATHY , DALE PROCHASKA , 2 4 5 HAYDEN HAUCKE , GLENN C. KROH , AND WALTER C. HOLMES ABSTRACT - Field studies in the Gus Engeling Wildlife Management Area, which consists of approximately 4465.5 ha (11,034.1 acres) of the Post Oak Savannah of Anderson County, have resulted in an annotated checklist of the vascular flora corroborating its remarkable species richness. A total of 930 taxa (excluding family names), belonging to 485 genera and 145 families are re- corded. Asteraceae (124 species), Poaceae (114 species), Fabaceae (67 species), and Cyperaceae (61 species) represented the largest families. Six Texas endemic taxa occur on the site: Brazoria truncata var. pulcherrima (B. pulcherrima), Hymenopappus carrizoanus, Palafoxia reverchonii, Rhododon ciliatus, Trades- cantia humilis, and T. subacaulis. Within Texas, Zigadenus densus is known only from the study area. The area also has a large number of species that are endemic to the West Gulf Coastal Plain and Carrizo Sands phytogeographic distribution patterns. Eleven vegetation alliances occur on the property, with the most notable being sand post oak-bluejack oak, white oak-southern red oak-post oak, and beakrush-pitcher plant alliances. INTRODUCTION The Post Oak Savannah (Gould 1962) comprises about 4,000,000 ha of gently rolling to hilly lands that lie immediately west of the Pineywoods (Timber belt). Some (Allred and Mitchell 1955, Dyksterhuis 1948) consider the vegetation of the area as part of the deciduous forest; i.e., burned out forest that is presently regenerating. -
