channel of collimator provides significant increase in output of reference radiation from target simultaneously decreasing unneeded parts of the spectrum. To decrease flux of thermal neutrons using borated polyethylene is rec- ommended. Koroteeva D. Belarusian State University, Minsk, Republic of Belarus THE INSECTS – VISITORS OF MALVA ALCEA L. IN BELARUS Analysing of anthophilous insects communities has a great significance in the process of studying of the symbiotic relationship between pollinators and plants. Anthophilous insects as pollinators play an important role in the pollination and seed reproduction of plants. Pollinators can provide the efficiency of seed produc- tion process in many different ways. Studying the species composition of pollina- tors of any particular plant may help in predicting similar results during studying of another plant from this family or genus. Malva alcea L. is an introducent in Belarusian flora. Thereby studying of polli- nators’ community may help in the process of analyzing interspecies communica- tion between different similar to Malva alcea L. plants during the process of introduction process of Malva alcea L. to our flora. The collecting of insects was held during July, 2016. Insects were caught on the territory of the botanical garden of biology faculty of BSU, Minsk. Insects were caught one by one in the moment of visiting the inflorescence of Malva alcea L., then they were placed in the tubes with alcohol for pollen cargo analysis. The taxo- nomic identification has been established with the key. Malva alcea L. is a plant in the mallow family native to southwestern, central and eastern Europe, also it can be found in southwestern Asia.

Genetic Relationships Between Some of Malva Species As Determined with ISSR and ISJ Markers

A maxi- mum parsimony analysis validated the division of the genus Malva into the sections Bismalva and Malva. The species classi- fied into those sections formed separate clusters. M. moschata was a distinctive species in the section Bismalva, as confirmed by previous genetic research based on ITS and cpDNA sequence analyses. The applied markers revealed a very high level of genetic identity between M. alcea and M. excisa and enabled molecular identification of M. alcea var. fastigiata. Species- specific markers were determined for the majority of the analyzed species, permitting their molecular identification. A specific marker supporting the differentiation of M. alcea and M. excisa was not found. Key words: Malva, genetic similarity, molecular markers, ISJ, ISSR 1. Introduction Species of the genus Malva receive wide coverage in scientific papers investigating variations in their The genus Malva comprises around 40 species seeds, seed coats (Celka et al. 2006a; Kumar & Dalbir world-wide (Mabberley 1987), including 13 species Singh 1991), pollen grains (El Naggar 2004) and stem occurring in Europe (Dalby 1968).

Working List of Invasive Vascular Plants of Wyoming ─ III (Vernacular Names from Selected Major Works) Dec 2017
Working List of Invasive Vascular Plants of Wyoming ─ III (Vernacular names from selected major works) Dec 2017 Compiled by R.L. Hartman and B.E. Nelson With assistance from R.D. Dorn, W. Fertig, B. Heidel The following list contains 372 taxa introduced to Wyoming from outside North America; included are invasives recognized by the Wyoming state government as noxious (; 28; although Ambrosa tomentosa is native). A number of these species repesent escapes from cultivation and are limited to one or a few collections. Nomenclature is based on R.D. Dorn, 2001, Vascular Plants of Wyoming; where updated, Dorn’s synonyms are in square brackets [ ]. Other synonyms found in the list of sources below are not included. Likewise, family names and their circumscriptions follow Dorn; where defined differently by the Angiosperm Working Group IV (APG IV), clarification follows in parenthese. Dorn does not indicate the typical variety or subspecies unless a second infraspecific taxon is recognized. We have included the typical infraspecies where appropriate. The lack of hyphenation, word separation, or capitalization may not reflect the appearance of the vernacular names in the works cited.

Brentwood Blvd. St. Louis, Missouri 63144 [email protected] JUSTIN R. THOMAS Institute of Botanical Training, LLC 111 County Road 3260 Salem, Missouri 65560 [email protected] ABSTRACT An annotated checklist of the 2,961 vascular taxa comprising the flora of Missouri is presented, with conservatism rankings for Floristic Quality Assessment. The list also provides standardized acronyms for each taxon and information on nativity, physiognomy, and wetness ratings. Annotated comments for selected taxa provide taxonomic, floristic, and ecological information, particularly for taxa not recognized in recent treatments of the Missouri flora. Synonymy crosswalks are provided for three references commonly used in Missouri. A discussion of the concept and application of Floristic Quality Assessment is presented. To accurately reflect ecological and taxonomic relationships, new combinations are validated for two distinct taxa, Dichanthelium ashei and D. werneri , and problems in application of infraspecific taxon names within Quercus shumardii are clarified.

Southern Garden History Plant Lists
Southern Plant Lists Southern Garden History Society A Joint Project With The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation September 2000 1 INTRODUCTION Plants are the major component of any garden, and it is paramount to understanding the history of gardens and gardening to know the history of plants. For those interested in the garden history of the American south, the provenance of plants in our gardens is a continuing challenge. A number of years ago the Southern Garden History Society set out to create a ‘southern plant list’ featuring the dates of introduction of plants into horticulture in the South. This proved to be a daunting task, as the date of introduction of a plant into gardens along the eastern seaboard of the Middle Atlantic States was different than the date of introduction along the Gulf Coast, or the Southern Highlands. To complicate maters, a plant native to the Mississippi River valley might be brought in to a New Orleans gardens many years before it found its way into a Virginia garden. A more logical project seemed to be to assemble a broad array plant lists, with lists from each geographic region and across the spectrum of time. The project’s purpose is to bring together in one place a base of information, a data base, if you will, that will allow those interested in old gardens to determine the plants available and popular in the different regions at certain times. This manual is the fruition of a joint undertaking between the Southern Garden History Society and the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. In choosing lists to be included, I have been rather ruthless in expecting that the lists be specific to a place and a time.

FROM WANTED TO WEEDS: A NATURAL HISTORY OF SOME OF NEW ENGLAND’S INTRODUCED PLANTS BY JESSAMY R. L UTHIN When the Europeans first colonized New England they initiated the process of transforming the landscape into something more familiar. In order to ensure access to food and medicine and recreate the pastoral landscape of the Old World they brought with them a variety of known plant species for cultivation. With time, shifts in medical practice, agri - culture, food preservation, and dietary preferences, reliance on these plants declined.
