Th ese declines can Wellington 6012 be directly mapped to deteriorating water quality, the impact of dairy farming in the NEW ZEALAND inter-montane basins of the eastern South Island, ongoing loss of habitat, and direct pressure from browsing animals and from diseases. In some cases, the cause of decline remains unclear. For example, the poroporo (Solanum aviculare var. aviculare) once abundant 30–40 years ago in the North Island PLANT OF THE MONTH, p. 2 is now in serious decline, such that it is either absent from or in sharp decline over large parts of its former range. Oddly, whilst it is in decline, its close relative Solanum laciniatum is not; in some places it is actively spreading into habitat S. aviculare var. aviculare once occupied. Even stranger, is that the off shore island race of S. aviculare var. latifolium is also spreading in places where it has been planted on the mainland. Research as to why this happening is urgently needed. In the case of kauri (Agathis australis), the cause of the decline is now well known and, for the fi rst time, this iconic conifer has been listed as ‘Nationally Vulnerable’, refl ecting the impact of the killer disease, Phytophthora agathidicida, a listing made possible because a predicted decline rate and a national population estimate for kauri now exists. Less certain has been the call to list all New Zealand’s indigenous myrtles Pachycladon crenatum.

Photo: Rowan Hindmarsh-Walls. The plant of the month for June is the Fiordland Pachycladon, Pachycladon crenatum, one of 10 Pachycladon species endemic to the New Zealand region. Like most of the other mainland New Zealand species, P. crenatum is found in alpine habitats. This species can be seen in the mid to high alpine areas of Fiordland National Park, possibly spreading eastwards into the Takitimu mountains. Plants are found in cracks in rock slabs and open stony areas where there is little competition from other species. It is a small stature perennial plant, forming squat single rosettes, with a ring of short flowering stems emerging from beneath the rosette leaves. The flowers are comparatively large and white, with the fruits often turning orange. The species is most similar in appearance to P. novae-zelandiae. Both species form squat single rosettes, but P. crenatum can be distinguished by its distribution and more robust form, with larger, glossier bright green leaves. The two species may overlap on the eastern edge of P. crenatum’s range. The species is endemic to New Zealand and is currently listed as At Risk— Naturally Uncommon, because of its scattered distribution across much of central Fiordland. Being a brassica, it is likely to be very palatable so could potentially be threatened by herbivore browse, especially by hares, if they were to ever invade the central part of Fiordland; currently, they haven’t reached this area. Pachycladon crenatum could also be affected by diseases and pests such as turnip mosaic virus, aphids, white butterfly, diamondback moth, and powdery mildew, but, luckily, Pachycladon’s habitat is very far from civilisation and these pests. The species is not generally cultivated and should not be removed from the wild, since its entire range is within Fiordland National Park. The genus Pachycladon is mostly endemic to the New Zealand region, with only one species, P. radicata, being from Tasmania. It is in the cabbage family, Brassicaceae, along with other distinctive alpine genera such as Notothlaspi and Cardamine. The genus name Pachycladon means ‘thick shoot’ referring to the large stem/taproot characteristic of the genus; the species epithet crenatum refers to the crenate, or rounded teeth on the edge of a leaves. You can view the NZPCN website factsheet for Pachycladon crenatum at: http://www.nzpcn.org. nz/flora_details.aspx?ID=614 2 over the impact this rust may have/is already having on our Myrtaceae. Advice from Australian myrtle rust experts was used to arrive at this conclusion. Though myrtle rust is still in the early stages of establishment in New Zealand, already—as predicted—we are seeing an impact on the endemic myrtle genus Lophomyrtus and maire tawake (Syzygium maire), though, so far, mostly on cultivated plants or those growing in forest remnants in urban areas. The panel acknowledges that the high listing for the Myrtaceae may be inaccurate; the panel is only too happy to be proved wrong. The decision to take this step, however, accords with the precautionary principle advocated by the New Zealand Threat Classification System, and the stance already being taken by the Ministry of Primary Industries and Department of Conservation. Both agencies have been trying to obtain seed and germ-plasm of New Zealand myrtles in the full expectation that some of these iconic trees and shrubs are going to go extinct while the rest are probably going to get very sick. With no cure in sight, this is a potential disaster for New Zealand’s coast to montane vegetated ecosystems.

It was first detected in New Zealand in April 2017 on Raoul Island and has since spread throughout the country. It threatens the survival of our native Myrtaceae species and, with little understanding of its long term impacts on Myrtaceae species, seed banking is one way we can buy time to mitigate the potential impacts of this disease. The Department of Conservation (DOC) had a list of target species and number of collections they wanted to make but required assistance to carry of seed collection. In May 2017, a partnership between DOC and Botanic Gardens Australia New Zealand (BGANZ) was formalised with the signing of a memorandum of understanding at the Threatened Species Summit. The MOU reflects both organisations’ commitment to work together on “… Emma Bodley from Auckland Botanic Gardens mutually important plant conservation work, improving notes the locations of Metrosideros parkinsonii. co-ordination, achieving more research, increasing Photo: Bec Stanley. conservation capability and reducing costs by increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of the relationships.” Auckland Botanic Gardens (ABG) is a member of BGANZ so the opportunity arose to utilise both organisations’ expertise to work on seed banking some Myrtaceae on Aotea/Great Barrier Island. This work was supported by the The Global Tree Seed Bank Project of Millennium Seed Bank Partnership (MSB), Kew, which provided funding from the Garfield Weston Foundation. Seed collection on Aotea was supported by the MSB because of the high concentration of Myrtaceae species in Metrosideros parkinsonii seedling.

  • Flowering Plants of South Norwood Country Park
    Flowering Plants Of South Norwood Country Park Robert Spencer Introduction South Norwood Country Park relative to its size contains a wide range habitats and as a result a diverse range of plants can be found growing on site. Some of these plants are very conspicuous, growing in great abundance and filling the park with splashes of bright colour with a white period in early May largely as a result of the Cow Parsley, this is followed later in the year by a pink period consisting of mainly Willow herbs. Other plants to be observed are common easily recognisable flowers. However there are a great number of plants growing at South Norwood Country Park that are less well-known or harder to spot, and the casual observer would likely be surprised to learn that 363 species of flowering plants have so far been recorded growing in the park though this number includes invasive species and garden escapes. This report is an update of a report made in 2006, and though the site has changed in the intervening years the management and fundamental nature of the park remains the same. Some plants have diminished and some have flourished and the high level of diversity is still present. Many of these plants are important to other wildlife particularly in their relationship to invertebrate pollinators, and some of these important interactions are referenced in this report. With so many species on the plant list there is a restriction on how much information is given for each species, with some particularly rare or previously observed but now absent plants not included though they appear in the index at the back of the report including when they were last observed.

  • Additions to the New Flora of Vermont
    Gilman, A.V. Additions to the New Flora of Vermont. Phytoneuron 2016-19: 1–16. Published 3 March 2016. ISSN 2153 733X ADDITIONS TO THE NEW FLORA OF VERMONT ARTHUR V. GILMAN Gilman & Briggs Environmental 1 Conti Circle, Suite 5, Barre, Vermont 05641 [email protected] ABSTRACT Twenty-two species of vascular plants are reported for the state of Vermont, additional to those reported in the recently published New Flora of Vermont. These are Agrimonia parviflora, Althaea officinalis , Aralia elata , Beckmannia syzigachne , Bidens polylepis , Botrychium spathulatum, Carex panicea , Carex rostrata, Eutrochium fistulosum , Ficaria verna, Hypopitys lanuginosa, Juncus conglomeratus, Juncus diffusissimus, Linum striatum, Lipandra polysperma , Matricaria chamomilla, Nabalus racemosus, Pachysandra terminalis, Parthenocissus tricuspidata , Ranunculus auricomus , Rosa arkansana , and Rudbeckia sullivantii. Also new are three varieties: Crataegus irrasa var. irrasa , Crataegus pruinosa var. parvula , and Viola sagittata var. sagittata . Three species that have been reported elsewhere in 2013–2015, Isoetes viridimontana, Naias canadensis , and Solidago brendiae , are also recapitulated. This report and the recently published New Flora of Vermont (Gilman 2015) together summarize knowledge of the vascular flora of Vermont as of this date. The New Flora of Vermont was recently published by The New York Botanical Garden Press (Gilman 2015). It is the first complete accounting of the vascular flora of Vermont since 1969 (Seymour 1969) and adds more than 200 taxa to the then-known flora of the state. However, the manuscript for the New Flora was finalized in spring 2013 and additional species are now known: those that have been observed more recently, that have been recently encountered (or re-discovered) in herbaria, or that were not included because they were under study at the time of finalization.

  • Chenopodioideae, Chenopodiaceae/ Amaranthaceae): Implications for Evolution and Taxonomy
    Fruit and Seed Anatomy of Chenopodium and Related Genera (Chenopodioideae, Chenopodiaceae/ Amaranthaceae): Implications for Evolution and Taxonomy Alexander P. Sukhorukov1,2*, Mingli Zhang1,3 1 Key Laboratory of Biogeography and Bioresource in Arid Land, Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Urumqi, Xinjiang, China, 2 Department of Higher Plants, Biological Faculty, Moscow Lomonosov State University, Moscow, Russia, 3 Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China Abstract A comparative carpological study of 96 species of all clades formerly considered as the tribe Chenopodieae has been conducted for the first time. The results show important differences in the anatomical structure of the pericarp and seed coat between representatives of terminal clades including Chenopodium s.str.+Chenopodiastrum and the recently recognized genera Blitum, Oxybasis and Dysphania. Within Chenopodium the most significant changes in fruit and seed structure are found in members of C. sect. Skottsbergia. The genera Rhagodia and Einadia differ insignificantly from Chenopodium. The evolution of heterospermy in Chenopodium is discussed. Almost all representatives of the tribe Dysphanieae are clearly separated from other Chenopodioideae on the basis of a diverse set of characteristics, including the small dimensions of the fruits (especially in Australian taxa), their subglobose shape (excl. Teloxys and Suckleya), and peculiarities of the pericarp indumentum. The set of fruit and seed characters evolved within the subfamily Chenopodioideae is described. A recent phylogenetic hypothesis is employed to examine the evolution of three (out of a total of 21) characters, namely seed color, testa-cell protoplast characteristics and embryo orientation.

  • 2019 BC Conservation Status Rank Review and Changes
    2019 BC Conservation Status Rank Review and Changes Vascular Plants There were 31 vascular plants added to the BC flora, a few native or potentially native species, five native hybrids, one hybrid cultivar, and 17 Exotic species (including European grape and salt-cedar). Amongst the native or potentially native are Kluane cinquefoil (a native species that is not yet ranked), a new false bind-weed (Unknown BC List status due to uncertain provenance), the Columbia River monkey-flower (Unknown status due insufficient data to rank), and a goosefoot with taxonomic uncertainty (Chenopodium incognitum). There were 23 vascular plant taxa removed from the BC Flora. These are no longer considered part of the flora of BC due to re-identifications of herbarium specimens, taxonomic changes, and lack of specimens to adequately document the presence in the province. A total of 107 scientific names were changed involving taxonomic splits and lumps (e.g., Crepis atribarba subspecies, and Lloydia serotina respectively), genus transfers (e.g. Trientalis to Lysimachia, Coeloglossum to Dactylorhiza), and relocations of infraspecific ranks (i.e. from variety to subspecies or subspecies to variety)(Flora of North of America Editorial Committee (1997, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2007, 2009, 2010, 2014, 2015), Jepson e- flora, and variety of primary literature listed below). There were a significant number of provincial conservation status rank changes this year to support the work of the program on the General Status of Species in Canada: 2132 native species were reviewed and 1146 were adjusted. Macrolichens Twenty-two taxonomic and nomenclatural changes were made to the CDC database this year, including eleven additions, ten removals from the lichen list for BC and one name change.

  • Amaranthaceae (Formerly Amaranthaceae and Chenopodiaceae)
    A GUIDE TO PIGWEEDS, GOOSEFOOTS, ORACHES AND THEIR RELATIVES IN HAMPSHIRE Issue 2: September 2016 The family Amaranthaceae (formerly Amaranthaceae and Chenopodiaceae) This group of plants, now all included within the one family in the 3rd edition of Stace’s New Flora of the British Isles on the basis of molecular genetics, is one that many people shy away from. With their mostly dull-coloured, small flowers, weedy and sometimes lumpish overall appearance, from a distance they offer few of the visual charms of other families; but close up they can be as attractive, fascinating or even downright weird as orchids or other popular groups. Several genera (particularly the Pigweeds, Goosefoots and Glassworts) offer serious challenges for identification. Characteristics of the family are an absence of stipules; a flower that has no distinction between sepals and petals (and so they are often referred to as tepals); a perianth of 0-5 tepals in a flower; 1-5 stamens; 2-3 styles; and a 1- celled ovary placed above (superior) or embedded at the level of (semi-inferior) the perianth. Inflorescences are densely clustered in many genera. Some genera, such as Amaranthus (Pigweeds) and Atriplex (Oraches), have distinctive bracts subtending the individual flowers, hence often referred to as bracteoles.

Proper application of many names in Chenopodium (especially taxa described in the 18–19th centuries) still remains uncertain. As currently accepted in recent publications, several subspecies can be considered under C. album for the European flora, i.e C. album L. subsp. album, C. album subsp. pedunculare (Bertol.) Arcang., and C. album subsp. borbasii (Murr) Soó. Bertoloni’s C. pedunculare (basionym of C. album subsp. pedunculare) appears still poorly understood taxonomically. The present contribution is based on field surveys, analyses of the relevant literature (protologues included), and examination of specimens preserved in several herbaria. The name C. pedunculare was lectotypified by Dvořák (1984) on a specimen deposited at BOLO. Based on morphology and chorology considerations, that taxon can be recognizes at species rank.

  • Chenopodium Sensu Lato Nella Flora Italiana 85
    INFORMATORE BOTANICO ITALIANO, 45 (1) 83-88, 2013 83 Chenopodium sensu lato (Chenopodiaceae, Chenopodioideae) nella flora vascolare italiana: chiave analitica dei generi D. IAMONICO ABSTRACT – Chenopodium sensu lato (Chenopodiaceae, Chenopodiaceae) in the Italian vascular flora: analytical key of the genera – Recent molecular studies clearly show that the genus Chenopodium L. is not monophyletic and six inde- pendent lineages resulted. Among the ten genera recognized, seven (Blitum L., Chenopodium L., Chenopodiastrum S.Fuentes, Uotila & Borsch, Dysphania R.Br., Lipandra Moq., Oxybasis Ker. & Kir. and Teloxys Moq.) are included in the Italian flora. With the aim to favour a correct identification of the taxa, we here propose an analytic key and detailed descriptions of the seven genera. Key words: Anserineae, Atripliceae, Blitum, Chenopodiastrum, Dysphania, Dysphanieae, Italy, Lipandra, Oxybasis, Teloxys Ricevuto il 15 Gennaio 2013 Accettato il 12 Maggio 2013 INTRODUZIONE Il genere Chenopodium L.
