Common Name Scientific Name Maple Family Aceraceae Sumac Bastrop County Trees, Shrubs, and Woody Vines As of June 21, 2011 This checklist of the vascular plants of Bastrop County is primarily based on the collections in the herbarium at Plant Resource Center, University of Texas, Austin. The USDA files were searched and the added records are indicated with an asterisk (*). Several local lists were also utilized, the most comprehensive being the plant list from Bastrop and Buescher State Parks, with a few additions from Stengl Research Station and McKinney Roughs Natural Area.. These local records which were additions to the PRC list are indicated with a pound sign (#). Rare plants listed from Rare Plants of Texas by Poole, et.al. are indicated with an exclamation point (!) Species marked in bold are listed on the Texas Department of Agriculture Noxious Weeds list.

Plans are published by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, sometimes prepared with the assistance of recovery teams, contractors, State agencies, and others. Objectives will be attained and any necessary funds made available subject to budgetary and other constraints affecting the parties involved as well as the need to address other priorities. Recovery plans do not necessarily represent the views or the official positions or approval of any individuals or agencies involved in the plan formulation, other than the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service only after they have been signed by the Regional Director as approved.

    Plant Succession on Burned Areas in Okefenokee Swamp Following the Fires of 1954 and 1955 EUGENE CYPERT Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge U.S. Bureau of Sport Fisheries and 'Wildlife Waycross, GA 31501 INTRODUCTION IN 1954 and 1955, during an extreme drought, five major fires occurred in Okefenokee Swamp. These fires swept over approximately 318,000 acres of the swamp and 140,000 acres of the adjacent upland. In some areas in the swamp, the burning was severe enough to kill most of the timber and the understory vegetation and burn out pockets in the peat bed. Burns of this severity were usually small and spotty. Over most of the swamp, the burns were surface fires which generally killed most of the underbrush but rarely burned deep enough into the peat bed to kill the larger trees. In many places the swamp fires swept over lightly, burning surface duff and killing only the smaller underbrush. Some areas were missed entirely. On the upland adjacent to the swamp, the fires were very de­ structive, killing most of the pine timber on the 140,000 acres burned over. The destruction of pine forests on the upland and the severe 199 EUGENE CYPERT burns in the swamp caused considerable concern among conservation­ ists and neighboring land owners. It was believed desirable to learn something of the succession of vegetation on some of the more severely burned areas. Such knowl­ edge would add to an understanding of the ecology and history of the swamp and to an understanding of the relation that fires may have to swamp wildlife.

We report here for the first time the occurrence of a member of the genus in China, Stillingia lineata subsp. pacifica. The distribution of the genus in China is apparently narrow, known only from Pingzhou and Wanzhou Islands of the Wanshan Archipelago in the South China Sea, which is close to the Pearl River estuary. This study updates our knowledge on the geographic distribution of the genus, and provides new palynological data as well. Key words: Island, Hippomaneae, South China Sea, Stillingia lineata Introduction During the last decade, hundreds of new plant species or new species records have been added to the flora of China. Nevertheless, newly described or newly recorded plant genera are not discovered and reported very often, suggesting that botanical expedition and plant survey at the generic level may be advanced in China. As far as we know, only six and eight angiosperm genera respectively have been newly described or newly recorded from China within the last ten years (Qiang et al.

  • Sigma Xi Grant—Example of Funded Proposal
    SIGMA XI GRANT—EXAMPLE OF FUNDED PROPOSAL Egg clustering and subsequent gregarious behavior of larvae is common among insect species. Numerous proposed hypotheses have been advanced to explain this phenomenon (4). The hypothesis, that gregarious feeding by larvae overwhelms plant defenses (facilitation) and the hypothesis that group defense decreases predation/parasitism (natural enemies), have received notable attention (1,3,5). Variation in group size has been shown to affect larval performance (1,3,5). A wide range of insects exhibit behavioral adaptations for dealing with secretory compounds of plants (2). I plan to test the feeding facilitation and natural enemies hypotheses using larvae of Doa ampla Dyar (Lepidoptera:Doidae). Female D. ampla oviposit in variable size clutches on the leaves of Stillingia texana (Euphorbiaceae), a common perennial found in calcareous soils in central Texas. S. texana, like many euphorbs, "bleeds" a white, milky substance when injured. Multiple wounds, from group feeding, may decrease the flow of this substance and hence decrease the amount of plant toxin ingested by individual larvae. To test the hypothesis that group feeding gives the larvae of D. ampla an advantage in dealing with plant defenses, I will experimentally wound potted S. texana plants and place variable size groups (1,5,10 larvae/group) of first instar larvae on wounded and unwounded plants. By measuring growth rate, development time, pupal weight, and percent mortality weekly I can determine the effect of plant defenses on the performance of various size larval groups. When disturbed, larvae of D. ampla exhibit a defensive behavior in which they writhe and excrete a liquid (noxious?).
