Native Plants of East Central Illinois and Their Preferred Locations”
OCTOBER 2007 Native Plants at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Campus: A Sourcebook for Landscape Architects and Contractors James Wescoat and Florrie Wescoat with Yung-Ching Lin Champaign, IL October 2007 Based on “Native Plants of East Central Illinois and their Preferred Locations” An Inventory Prepared by Dr. John Taft, Illinois Natural History Survey, for the UIUC Sustainable Campus Landscape Subcommittee - 1- 1. Native Plants and Plantings on the UIUC Campus This sourcebook was compiled for landscape architects working on projects at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign campus and the greater headwaters area of east central Illinois.1 It is written as a document that can be distributed to persons who may be unfamiliar with the local flora and vegetation, but its detailed species lists and hotlinks should be useful for seasoned Illinois campus designers as well. Landscape architects increasingly seek to incorporate native plants and plantings in campus designs, along with plantings that include adapted and acclimatized species from other regions. The term “native plants” raises a host of fascinating scientific, aesthetic, and practical questions. What plants are native to East Central Illinois? What habitats do they occupy? What communities do they form? What are their ecological relationships, aesthetic characteristics, and practical limitations? As university campuses begin to incorporate increasing numbers of native species and areas of native planting, these questions will become increasingly important. We offer preliminary answers to these questions, and a suite of electronic linkages to databases that provide a wealth of information for addressing more detailed issues. We begin with a brief introduction to the importance of native plants in the campus environment, and the challenges of using them effectively, followed by a description of the database, online resources, and references included below.

Native Plants for Your Backyard
U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Native Plants for Your Backyard Native plants of the Southeastern United States are more diverse in number and kind than in most other countries, prized for their beauty worldwide. Our native plants are an integral part of a healthy ecosystem, providing the energy that sustains our forests and wildlife, including important pollinators and migratory birds. By “growing native” you can help support native wildlife. This helps sustain the natural connections that have developed between plants and animals over thousands of years. Consider turning your lawn into a native garden. You’ll help the local environment and often use less water and spend less time and money maintaining your yard if the plants are properly planted. The plants listed are appealing to many species of wildlife and will look attractive in your yard. To maximize your success with these plants, match the right plants with the right site conditions (soil, pH, sun, and moisture). Check out the resources on the back of this factsheet for assistance or contact your local extension office for soil testing and more information about these plants.

Wood Anatomy of Calycanthaceae Sherwin Carlquist

Available at: http://scholarship.claremont.edu/aliso/vol10/iss3/6 ALISO 10(3), 1983, pp. 427-441 WOOD ANATOMY OF CALYCANTHACEAE: ECOLOGICAL AND SYSTEMATIC IMPLICATIONS Sherwin Carlquist INTRODUCTION Wood anatomy of Calycanthaceae has not been studied as a unit. Wood features ofthe family have been summarized by Metcalfe and Chalk (1950); various authors have mentioned one or more traits in studies dealing with Calycanthaceae (e.g., Wilson 1979) or other families (e.g., Garratt 1934). In view of recent interest in Idiospermum australiense (Diels) Blake, a new comparative study is needed. One goal of the present study is clarification of relationships of Idiospermum to Calycanthus and Chimonanthus. Wood anatomy of Idiospermum was described by Blake ( 1972) and Wilson ( 1979); a new description is offered here to provide more quantitative data. De scriptions of the wood of Calycanthus and Chimonanthus provided here incorporate such quantitative data, but also modify earlier descriptions with respect to some important qualitative features. Material of the recently de scribed genus Sinocalycanthus (Cheng and Chan 1964) was not available, although the description of that genus suggests it is not strongly different from Calycanthus or Chimonanthus. The present study incorporates material of Calycanthus floridus L. var. floridus, C.

Plant Introductions
Plant Introductions Promoting the garden use of native plants is a core part of Mt. Cuba Center’s mission, and since 1988, the Plant Introduction Program has brought many outstanding cultivars to market. Selected for strong ornamental appeal and broad regional adaptability, many of these introductions have risen to become some of the most popular cultivars of native plants available. Plant evaluation and introduction continues today, with several bright prospects for additional introductions in the future. Plant Introductions Actaea pachypoda ‘Misty Blue’ Misty Blue white baneberry Misty Blue white baneberry is an herbaceous perennial, selected for its unique and highly attractive soft, bluish-green foliage. It was discovered in a planting of typical green-leaved plants of unknown origin growing at Mt. Cuba Center. In spring 1" to 2" tall bottlebrush-like clusters of white flowers are borne on stems above the foliage. By September, large, white fruit with dark purple to black spots (“doll’s eyes”) mature on reddish pedicels. It is a carefree, long-lived, 24" to 36" tall plant, growing best in partial to filtered shade in evenly moist, well-drained soils with a pH from slightly acidic to neutral. Introduced 2009 Ageratina altissima ‘Chocolate’ (formerly Eupatorium rugosum) Chocolate white snakeroot Chocolate white snakeroot is an herbaceous perennial selected by Dr. Richard W. Lighty and descended from a plant found at Winterthur Gardens. It had the darkest burgundy foliage of many seedlings grown over a ten year period. ‘Chocolate’ grows up to 3' tall and has white inflorescences along with dark burgundy leaves which color best in full sun.
