  • ES Virginia Spiraea Pub11-19
    Threatened Species: VIRGINIA SPIRAEA APPALACHIAN SPIRAEA VIRGINIA MEADOWSWEET Spiraea virginiana (Rose Family) by Dr. Kim D. Coder, Professor of Tree Biology & Health Care Warnell School of Forestry & Natural Resources, University of Georgia Virginia spiraea in one of the raest shrubs in the world. It is a medium to short shrub 1-2 meters (3.2-6.5 feet) tall. It grows in clumps and spreads by root sprouting. Leaves are whitish beneath and green above. Leaves are highly variable in form. Some leaves may have a few teeth near the tip while other leaves will be completely toothless. Leaf shapes range from narrowly elliptical to oblong, all with a tiny pointed tip. Leaves are 5-8cm (2-3 inches) long. Flowers in June. Multiple flowers occur in flat-topped clusters, 5-10cm (2-4 inches) wide. Flowers have 5 small white petals 5mm (0.2 inches) wide. Fruiting is in August through October. Fruit is a “rose-hip” 2mm (0.1 inches) long. Seed is small, long, and rough surfaced. Virginia spiraea is found along larger streams on sand and gravel bars in the stream bottoms, growing on rocky ledges, and among rocky patches -- all of which are periodically scared by flooding. It needs well-drained, wet, full sun sites. Figure 1 shows a general distribution in the Southeastern US for this species. Virginia spiraea is listed as a federally threatened species. Its native range is spread over 10 states. Figure 2 shows the county distribution in Georgia. Virgina spiraea is found in the Lookout Mountain area of Northwest Georgia.

No attempt will be made in this paper to argue that the state flag is controversial simply because it incorporates the Confederate battle flag or that it represents the Confederacy itself. Rather, this paper will focus on the flag as it has become associated, since the 1956 session, with preserving segregation, resisting the 1954 U.S. Supreme Court decision of Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, and maintaining white supremacy in Georgia. A careful examination of the history of Georgia’s state flag, the 1956 session of the General Assembly, the designer of the present state flag – John Sammons Bell, the legislation redesigning the 1956 flag, and the status of segregation at that time, will all be addressed in this study.

  • There Are Four Peanut Market Types: Virginia, Runner, Valencia, and Spanish Types
    PEANUT VARIETIES D. Anco and J.S. Thomas There are four peanut market types: Virginia, runner, valencia, and spanish types. Virginia types and runners (the two main types grown in S. C.) differ from valencias and spanish types in that neither the Virginia or runner types bloom and produce fruit on the upright main stem. The difference between a Virginia and a runner is based on pod size. If at least 40% of pods ride a 34/64-inch roller standard, then that variety has enough fancy pods to qualify as a Virginia type. Within both the Virginia and runner market categories there are many varieties available and new ones being released every year. Despite this abundance of released varieties only a relative few are best adapted for production under S. C. climate and disease conditions . See the following discussion and table for variety characteristics and performance results . Note that maturity days are measured primarily at Blackville under irrigated conditions. Maturity in the Pee Dee region can be 7 days longer and drought can also significantly delay maturity. VIRGINIA TYPES *Bailey: Bailey has been the standard for Virginia type production in S. C. due to exceptional disease resistance and consistently high yield. Bailey maturity can range from being as early as Champs (125 days) to typically 135 days or even 140 days at Blackville. Bailey has demonstrated high yield, a very bright hull and excellent resistance to white mold and tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV). Bailey has also shown resistance to CBR. Late leaf spot activity on Bailey has increased recently.
