A CHECKLIST OF THE VASCULAR PLANTS OF THE REDWOOD NATIONAL & STATE PARKS James P. Smith, Jr. Professor Emeritus of Botany Department of Biological Sciences Humboldt State Univerity Arcata, California 14 September 2018 The Redwood National and State Parks are located in Del Norte and Humboldt counties in coastal northwestern California. The national park was F E R N S established in 1968. In 1994, a cooperative agreement with the California Department of Parks and Recreation added Del Norte Coast, Prairie Creek, Athyriaceae – Lady Fern Family and Jedediah Smith Redwoods state parks to form a single administrative Athyrium filix-femina var. cyclosporum • northwestern lady fern unit. Together they comprise about 133,000 acres (540 km2), including 37 miles of coast line. Almost half of the remaining old growth redwood forests Blechnaceae – Deer Fern Family are protected in these four parks. -

Barcoding the Asteraceae of Tennessee, Tribe Senecioneae
Schilling, E.E. and A. Floden. 2014. Barcoding the Asteraceae of Tennessee, tribe Senecioneae. Phytoneuron 2014-34: 1–5. Published 14 March 2014. ISSN 2153 733X BARCODING THE ASTERACEAE OF TENNESSEE, TRIBE SENECIONEAE EDWARD E. SCHILLING AND AARON FLODEN Herbarium TENN Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology University of Tennessee Knoxville, Tennessee 37996 [email protected]; [email protected] ABSTRACT Results from barcoding studies of tribe Senecioneae for the Tennessee flora using data from the nuclear ribosomal ITS marker region are presented and include first complete reports of this marker for 3 of the 15 species of these tribes that occur in the state. Sequence data from the ITS region separated all Tennessee species of Arnoglossum , Erechtites , Hasteola , and Rugelia (all of which are native) from one another and from other, non-Tennessee congeners. In contrast, many of the species of Packera , both from the state and from other parts of the southeastern USA, had basically identical ITS sequences. The contrast in the distinctiveness of Arnoglossum species compared to those of Packera suggests the two genera have had different histories of introduction and diversification in southeastern North America. Tribe Senecioneae is one of the largest in Asteraceae and with a worldwide distribution has had the opportunity to diversify in many different regions. The boundaries and circumscription of the tribe have, however, changed over the past few decades, and its generic level circumscription is still being settled (Nordenstam et al. 2009; Pelser et al. 2007, 2010). Notable is the problem of the circumscription of the huge Senecio (ca. 1000 species), but changes have also affected other genera from the southeastern USA, most notably the recognition of Arnoglossum and Hasteola as distinct from Cacalia (Anderson 1974). -

Box 299 St. Louis, Missouri 63166 ABSTRACT Robinsonecio has tussilaginoid microcharacters and is represented in Central America by a single species, the generitype Robinsonecio gerberifolius . A lectotype is designated for Senecio gerberifolius . Senecio cuchumatanensis of Guatemala has been suggested to be a congener of R. gerberifolius , but its senecioid microcharacters are found here to exclude it from Robinsonecio . KEY WORDS: Asteraceae, Central America, Compositae, Guatemala, Mexico, Robinsonecio , Robinsonecio gerberifolius , Senecio cuchumatanensis , Senecio gerberifolius, Senecioneae. Robinsonecio T.M. Barkley & Janovec (Compositae: Senecioneae: Tussilagininae) was segregated from the Lugentes subgroup (Barkley 1985) of Senecio L. (Senecioninae) based on its tussilaginoid microcharacters (often called "cacalioid" microcharacters, e.g., Robinson & Brettell 1973b, 1973b; Wetter 1983). The genus includes 2 species –– R. gerberifolius (Sch. Bip. ex Hemsl.) T.M. Barkley & Janovec (alpine areas in southeastern Mexico and western Guatemala) and R. porphyresthes -
Common Groundsel Senecio Vulgaris L
PNW 466 • July 1994 Common Groundsel Senecio vulgaris L. S. Aldrich-Markham C ommon groundsel, native to Europe, is now common throughout the temperate re- gions of the world. It is wide- spread in Oregon, Washington, and Idaho, but most common west of the Cascade Mountains. This weed is found in many crops, including forages, cere- als, mint, berries, and row crops, as well as in ornamentals and vegetable gardens. Groundsel is especially a problem in forage crops be- cause it is toxic to livestock. The toxins are four pyrrolizidine alkaloids, which cause irrevers- ible liver damage. Some of the same alkaloids are found in tansy ragwort (Senecio jacobea L.), but tansy ragwort also con- tains two additional alkaloids that are more toxic. Poisoning occurs most com- monly in situations where ani- mals cannot separate out the toxic plants—when they are mixed with the forage in a pas- ture, or when they are fed in hay or silage. The liver disease is chronic and progressive, re- sulting in death months later in most animals, with few or no Susan Aldrich-Markham, Extension agent, Yamhill County, Oregon State University.

Alien Plants in Central European River Ports

NeoBiota 45: 93–115. https://doi.org/10.3897/neobiota.45.33866 Abstract River ports represent a special type of urbanized area. They are considered to be an important driver of biological invasion and biotic homogenization on a global scale, but it remains unclear how and to what degree they serve as a pool of alien species. Data for 54 river ports (16 German, 20 Czech, 7 Hungarian, 3 Slovak, and 8 Austrian ports) on two important Central European waterways (the Elbe-Vltava and Dan- ube waterways) were collected over 40 years. In total, 1056 plant species were found. Of these, 433 were alien, representing 41% of the total number of species found in all the studied Elbe, Vltava, and Danube ports. During comparison of floristic data from literary sources significant differences in the percentage of alien species in ports (50%) and cities (38%) were found. -

Therefore, in increasing order of the retention times, seven compounds have been identified and quantitative determined, as follows: neoxanthin, violaxanthin, lutein-5,6-epoxide, lutein, β-cryptoxanthin, α- and β-carotene. High amounts of lutein have been found in all Senecio extracts. Rezumat Pentru prima dată au fost analizate, prin HPLC, fracţiunile carotenoidice provenite de la două specii de Senecio (S. vernalis Waldst. et Kit. şi S. jacobaea L.). Astfel, în ordinea crescătoare a timpilor de retenţie, au fost identificate şi determinate cantitativ şapte componente, după cum urmează: neoxantina, violaxantina, lutein-5,6-epoxid, luteina, β-criptoxantina, α- şi β-caroten. În extractele de Senecio, luteina a fost preponderentă din punct de vedere cantitativ. Keywords: Senecio vernalis; S. jacobaea; carotenoids; HPLC analysis. Introduction Senecio vernalis Waldst. et Kit., spring groundsel and S. jacobaea L., tansy ragwort, of Asteraceae family, are native in Eurasia, North America, Australia, New Zealand, Argentina, and Northern Africa. -

A total of forty-five, sixty, and forty-two compounds were identified, constituting over 90.1%, 88.0%, and 89.0% of oil composition of the flower, leaf, and stem of S. pandurifolius , respectively. The chemical profile reveals the dominance of sesquiterpene hydrocarbons (flower: 42.4%, leaf: 43.4%, stem: 52.3%). The main components of essential oils own to S. pandurifolius were α-cuprenene (30.7%) in flower, α-zingiberene (16.1%) in leaf and γ- curcumene (14.9%) in stem. Terpene related compounds were in minor amounts in all parts (flower: 1.4%, leaf: 1.5%, stem: 1.9%) of the S. pandurifolius . Also there was no monoterpene hydrocarbons and oxygenated monoterpenes in the essential oil of the stem. In addition, antimicrobial activities of the essential oils of S.
