One www.frontyardrestoration.com LL-3 Lowland Flowers plant, sometimes even a solitary disk, will change colour to produce a calico effect. Its tiny seeds have little fluffs of hairs attached allowing them to float in the breeze for a bit. The leaves are long, fairly narrow (lance-shaped), and sometimes with finely toothed edges. I don’t know who named it Farewell Summer (actually it was the proudly gay New Brunswicker, Harold [Hal] Royall Hinds, 1939-2001), but what an emotionally laden name for a flower in Canada. A bee, butterfly, larvae, and bug magnet. One of the least aggressive of the Asters; clump to colony forming from small caudices with short rhizomes. Aster family.

  • Triadenum Fraseri, Hypericaceae) Im Emsdettener Venn (Kreis Steinfurt, Nordrhein-Westfalen)
    Veröff. Bochumer Bot. Ver. 8(4) 25–28 2016 Frasers Auenhartheu (Triadenum fraseri, Hypericaceae) im Emsdettener Venn (Kreis Steinfurt, Nordrhein-Westfalen) LUDWIG KLASING, PETER SCHWARTZE, GÖTZ HEINRICH LOOS & ARMIN JAGEL Kurzfassung Im NSG Emsdettener Venn im Kreis Steinfurt/NRW wächst seit mindestens 2011 Frasers Auenhartheu (Triade- num fraseri), eine Art, die an sumpfigen Standorten in Nord-Amerika heimisch ist. Das Vorkommen breitet sich im Emsdettener Venn weiter aus und ist hier offensichtlich bereits eingebürgert. Da es sich wahrscheinlich um die erste Verwilderung der Art in Deutschland handelt, wird Frasers Auenhartheu mit Fotos vorgestellt und das Vorkommen näher beschrieben. Abstract: Fraser's St. John's wort (Triadenum fraseri, Hypericaceae) in the fen of Emsdetten (District of Steinfurt, North-Rhine Westphalia, Germany). Fraser's St. John's wort (Triadenum fraseri), a species native to wetland habitats of North-America, has been known to grow at least since 2011 in the fen of Emsdetten. The species's range is expanding and it can be considered established in this fen. Since this population represents most likely the first known case of successful establishment in Germany, its occurrence will be discussed in detail. 1 Einleitung Seit mindestens sechs Jahren wächst im Naturschutzgebiet Emsdettener Venn im Kreis Steinfurt eine Pflanzenart in einem Moortümpel, die mit herkömmlicher mitteleuropäischer Bestimmungsliteratur nicht zu bestimmen ist. So ist sie z. B. weder in der neuesten Auflage des SCHMEIL-FITSCHEN (2016) enthalten, noch im Zier- und Nutzpflanzen-Band des ROTHMALER (JÄGER & al. 2008) oder im neuesten ZANDER (2014). Selbst die European Garden Flora (ROBSON 2011) nennt weder die Gattung noch die Art.

Marks, F.R. Wesley, & S. Gardescu. For a link to the Journal's 2008 issues and abstracts, go to: <http://www.torreybotanical.org/journal.html> The following list of vascular plants includes native and non-native species that occur in a multi-county area in central New York State (see map below). We have called this the "Cayuga Region," as it includes the "Cayuga Quadrangle" of the flora of Clausen (1949) and the "Cayuga Lake Basin" of earlier floras (Dudley 1886, Wiegand & Eames 1926). A single set of modern species concepts was used, to correct for variations in nomenclature among the floras. Species found only under cultivation are not included. SPECIES NAMES are in alphabetical order, within major group. NATIVE/NOT is with respect to the Cayuga Region. For non-natives, WHEN HERE is the year by which the species had first established i the region, based on the floras of Dudley (1886), Wiegand & Eames (1926), Clausen (1949), and Wesley (2005; unpublished).

  • Detecting Climate Change in Wetlands in the Adirondack Park: No-Cost Extension 2016
    Detecting Climate Change in Wetlands in the Adirondack Park: No-Cost Extension 2016 EPA Wetlands Program Development Grant CD#96295000 2016 No-Cost Extension Report March 2017 A Report prepared by Stephen F. Langdon, M.S. Borealis Consulting, L.L.C. For The Research Foundation of the State University of New York Executive Summary The objectives of the no-cost extension of EPA Wetland Program Development Grant CD#96295000, “Detecting Climate Change in Adirondack Wetlands,” were to (1) continue phenological monitoring of wetlands by citizen scientists, (2) complete additional Tier III wetland condition assessments, and (3) retrieve, array and conduct preliminary analysis of environmental condition data from data loggers deployed at study sites. This work was conducted by project partners through a contract to the Research Foundation of the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry. In 2016 we more than doubled the number of site visits and phenological surveys by citizen scientists, taking full advantage of the citizen science data interface built for the project. We conducted six Tier III wetland condition assessments following protocols established by the project. We retrieved data from temperature, water level and precipitation data loggers to characterize environmental conditions at our study sites. Project partners are actively exploring funding sources in order to continue citizen science outreach and data analysis.

  • Documenting Calcareous Habitats of High Conservation Value In
    DOCUMENTING CALCAREOUS HABITATS OF HIGH CONSERVATION VALUE IN NORTHERN RIVER VALLEYS David Mazerolle, Sean Blaney, Colin Chapman, Alain Belliveau and Tom Neily March 31, 2019 A report to the New Brunswick Wildlife Trust Fund by the Atlantic Canada Conservation Data Centre P.O. Box 6416, Sackville, NB, E4L 1C6 www.accdc.com 1 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Funding for this project was entirely provided by the New Brunswick Wildlife Trust Fund and Environment and Climate Change Canada’s Atlantic Ecosystems Initiatives funding program. The Atlantic Canada Conservation Data Centre appreciates the opportunity to have carried out surveys in these biologically diverse and provincially significant sites. 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY River valleys are especially diverse portions of any landscape because of their diversity of moisture, exposure and disturbance regimes. In highly altered landscapes, river valleys also often retain the most natural communities because of inherent difficulties in farming, logging and settling their steep slopes and flood-prone bottomlands. Because soils with higher pH values (i.e. alkaline, basic or calcareous soils) are generally much more fertile than acidic ones and often support species- rich communities, river valleys underlain by alkaline bedrock often constitute particularly significant reservoirs of biodiversity. In New Brunswick, high-pH habitats (including alkaline bedrock outcrops, cliffs, fens and swamps) represent a small portion of the provincial land area, often occurring as small islands within a predominantly acidic landscape. These habitats support many of the province’s rarest vascular plant, lichen and bryophyte species and represent areas of high conservation significance. Due to lack of connectivity and relative isolation, species of conservation concern found in these habitats may be at greater risk of local extirpation due to human disturbance or stochastic events, as recruitment and recolonization from other populations is unlikely.

The clusioid clade is a member of the large rosid order Malpighiales and contains ∼1900 species in five families: Bonnetiaceae, Calophyllaceae, Clusiaceae sensu stricto (s.s.), Hypericaceae, and Podostemaceae. Despite recent efforts to clarify their phylogenetic relationships using molecular data, no such data are available for several critical taxa, including especially Hypericum ellipticifolium (previously recognized in Lianthus), Lebrunia, Neotatea, Thysanostemon, and the second-oldest rosid fossil (∼90 Ma), Paleoclusia chevalieri. Here, we (i) assess congruence between phylogenies inferred from morphological and molecular data, (ii) analyze morphological and molecular data simultaneously to place taxa lacking molecular data, and (iii) use ancestral state reconstructions (ASRs) to examine the evolution of traits that have been important for circumscribing clusioid taxa and to explore the placement of Paleoclusia. Methodology. We constructed a morphological data set including 69 characters and 81 clusioid species (or species groups). These data were analyzed individually and in combination with a previously published molecular data set of four genes (plastid matK, ndhF, and rbcL and mitochondrial matR) using parsimony, maximum likelihood (ML), and Bayesian inference.
