  • Maple-Leaf Viburnum (Viburnum Acerifolium)
    Information Sheet – Maple-leaf Viburnum (Viburnum acerifolium) Maple-leaf Viburnum (Viburnum acerifolium) is a low, densely branched shrub that grows to 4-6 feet tall and 3-4 feet wide. This attractive native shrub is often planted as an ornamental due to its bright to dark green, deciduous foliage that turns a colorful purplish-pink in the fall. In addition, showy flat-topped clusters of white flowers in spring are followed by blue-black berries in the late summer and fall. Maple-leaf Viburnum is adaptable to a wide range of light and soil conditions. This adaptability makes it a useful plant in home landscapes that have areas with dry soil and deep shade. This outstanding native shrub is also often planted for its high wildlife value – its berries are eaten by birds and its flowers are nectar sources for bees and butterflies. This plant is also a larval host to several butterfly and moth species, to include the Spring Azure. Care of your shrub or small tree: It is important to get your shrub off to a good start by planting it properly in accordance with the instructions on the reverses of this sheet. After planting, maintain a grass and weed-free area around the base of the young shrub. Use organic mulch around the base of the trees approximately three feet out from the trunk. Pine bark and pine needle mulches are very good, straight wood mulch is not. Avoid the use of non-organic mulches, which can cause the soil around the shrub to stay excessively wet.

  • Chinese Snowball Viburnum Scientific Name
    Common Name: Chinese Snowball Viburnum Scientific Name: Viburnum macrocephalum Order: Dipsacales Family: Adoxaceae Description Chinese snowball viburnum produces large 6-8 inch clusters of hydrangea-like flowers that start out as lime green and mature to white in the early spring. It can grow taller than 15 feet. It is very large, dense, and rounded with oval shaped leaves. This plant bears no fruit. This viburnum’s longevity is less than 50 years. Chinese snowball viburnum is a deciduous plant. It produces large white hydrangea- like flowers and then loses its leaves annually. This plant can be semi-evergreen in the south, and often re-blooms in the late summer or fall. Growth Habit The growth habit of the Chinese snowball viburnum is erect or spreading and has deciduous foliage, but often re-blooms in late summer or fall. It shape is rounded and grows 24 inches per season. This plant can grow to 15 feet or more in height. It can also be cut back every 3-4 years to 2-3 inches to control size if necessary, although bloom for the following year will be lost. This viburnum’s rooting resents being disturbed and should be left in place until the second year. Hardiness Zone(s) Chinese snowball viburnum can grow in the USDA zones 5 through 9. It may be grown in certain conditions in zones 4 and 8. If it is grown in zone 4 then a protected situation is recommended. Chinese snowball viburnum emerges in the early spring. It is fully heat tolerant and is very beautiful in full bloom but not as attractive the rest of the year.

  • Phylogeny and Phylogenetic Taxonomy of Dipsacales, with Special Reference to Sinadoxa and Tetradoxa (Adoxaceae)
    PHYLOGENY AND PHYLOGENETIC TAXONOMY OF DIPSACALES, WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO SINADOXA AND TETRADOXA (ADOXACEAE) MICHAEL J. DONOGHUE,1 TORSTEN ERIKSSON,2 PATRICK A. REEVES,3 AND RICHARD G. OLMSTEAD 3 Abstract. To further clarify phylogenetic relationships within Dipsacales,we analyzed new and previously pub- lished rbcL sequences, alone and in combination with morphological data. We also examined relationships within Adoxaceae using rbcL and nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences. We conclude from these analyses that Dipsacales comprise two major lineages:Adoxaceae and Caprifoliaceae (sensu Judd et al.,1994), which both contain elements of traditional Caprifoliaceae.Within Adoxaceae, the following relation- ships are strongly supported: (Viburnum (Sambucus (Sinadoxa (Tetradoxa, Adoxa)))). Combined analyses of C ap ri foliaceae yield the fo l l ow i n g : ( C ap ri folieae (Diervilleae (Linnaeeae (Morinaceae (Dipsacaceae (Triplostegia,Valerianaceae)))))). On the basis of these results we provide phylogenetic definitions for the names of several major clades. Within Adoxaceae, Adoxina refers to the clade including Sinadoxa, Tetradoxa, and Adoxa.This lineage is marked by herbaceous habit, reduction in the number of perianth parts,nectaries of mul- ticellular hairs on the perianth,and bifid stamens. The clade including Morinaceae,Valerianaceae, Triplostegia, and Dipsacaceae is here named Valerina. Probable synapomorphies include herbaceousness,presence of an epi- calyx (lost or modified in Valerianaceae), reduced endosperm,and distinctive chemistry, including production of monoterpenoids. The clade containing Valerina plus Linnaeeae we name Linnina. This lineage is distinguished by reduction to four (or fewer) stamens, by abortion of two of the three carpels,and possibly by supernumerary inflorescences bracts. Keywords: Adoxaceae, Caprifoliaceae, Dipsacales, ITS, morphological characters, phylogeny, phylogenetic taxonomy, phylogenetic nomenclature, rbcL, Sinadoxa, Tetradoxa.

  • Barrowhill, Otterpool and East Stour River)
    Folkestone and Hythe Birds Tetrad Guide: TR13 D (Barrowhill, Otterpool and East Stour River) The tetrad TR13 D is an area of mostly farmland with several small waterways, of which the East Stour River is the most significant, and there are four small lakes (though none are publically-accessible), the most northerly of which is mostly covered with Phragmites. Other features of interest include a belt of trees running across the northern limit of Lympne Old Airfield (in the extreme south edge of the tetrad), part of Harringe Brooks Wood (which has no public access), the disused (Otterpool) quarry workings and the westernmost extent of Folkestone Racecourse and. The northern half of the tetrad is crossed by the major transport links of the M20 and the railway, whilst the old Ashford Road (A20), runs more or less diagonally across. Looking south-west towards Burnbrae from the railway Whilst there are no sites of particular ornithological significance within the area it is not without interest. A variety of farmland birds breed, including Kestrel, Stock Dove, Sky Lark, Chiffchaff, Blackcap, Lesser Whitethroat, Yellowhammer, and possibly Buzzard, Yellow Wagtail and Meadow Pipit. Two rapidly declining species, Turtle Dove and Spotted Flycatcher, also probably bred during the 2007-11 Bird Atlas. The Phragmites at the most northerly lake support breeding Reed Warbler and Reed Bunting. In winter Fieldfare and Redwing may be found in the fields, whilst the streams have attracted Little Egret, Snipe and, Grey Wagtail, with Siskin and occasionally Lesser Redpoll in the alders along the East Stour River. Corn Bunting may be present if winter stubble is left and Red Kite, Peregrine, Merlin and Waxwing have also occurred.

  • Vascular Plants for High Park and the Surrounding Humber Plains, 2008
    Annotated Checklist of the Vascular Plants for High Park and the Surrounding Humber Plains September 2008 Steve Varga Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources Aurora District Acknowledgements The Ministry has undertaken biological inventories of High Park and its environs over the past 32 years. The first botanical survey was carried out by Karen L. McIntosh as part of an ecological survey of High Park that focussed on Grenadier Pond and the surrounding uplands (Wainio et al. 1976). Botanical surveys were also carried out by the author in 1980, 1982 and 1988. In 1989, this survey information was put together into an Area of Natural and Scientific Interest (ANSI) inventory report of the Park that recognized the natural areas of High Park as a provincial life science ANSI. Subsequent botanical surveys were carried out by the author between 1997 and 2008. Botanical records from High Park have also been kindly provided by Dr. Paul. M. Catling, Dr. Paul F. Maycock, Roger Powley, Charles Kinsley, Gavin Miller, Bohdan Kowalyk, Diana Banville and other members of the Toronto Field Naturalists (TFN), City of Toronto Parks, Forestry & Recreation Division including present and former staff such as Terry Fahey, Cara Webster and Richard Ubens among others, the High Park Community Advisory Committee and it Natural Environment Committee chaired by Karen Yukich, and James Kamstra who in 2007 and 2008 is mapping the location and numbers of rare plants in the Park. The Vascular Plant Herbarium (TRT) at the Royal Ontario Museum and the University of Toronto, Erindale College Herbarium (TRTE) were also examined for historical and recent records from the Park and its surrounding areas.

  • FSC Nettlecombe Court Nature Review 2014
    FSC Nettlecombe Court Nature Review 2014 Compiled by: Sam Tuddenham Nettlecombe Court- Nature Review 2014 Introduction The purpose of this report is to review and share the number of different species that are present in the grounds of Nettlecombe Court. A significant proportion of this data has been generated by FSC course tutors and course attendees studying at Nettlecombe court on a variety of courses. Some of the data has been collected for the primary purpose of species monitoring for nationwide conservation charities e.g. The Big Butterfly Count and Bee Walk Survey Scheme. Other species have just been noted by members or staff when out in the grounds. These records are as accurate as possible however we accept that there may be species missing. Nettlecombe Court Nettlecombe Court Field Centre of the Field Studies Council sits just inside the eastern border of Exmoor national park, North-West of Taunton (Map 1). The house grid reference is 51o07’52.23”N, 32o05’8.65”W and this report only documents wildlife within the grounds of the house (see Map 2). The estate is around 60 hectares and there is a large variety of environment types: Dry semi- improved neutral grassland, bare ground, woodland (large, small, man –made and natural), bracken dominated hills, ornamental shrubs (lawns/ domestic gardens) and streams. These will all provide different habitats, enabling the rich diversity of wildlife found at Nettlecombe Court. Nettlecombe court has possessed a meteorological station for a number of years and so a summary of “MET” data has been included in this report.

  • Non-Native Invasive Plants of the City of Alexandria, Virginia
    March 1, 2019 Non-Native Invasive Plants of the City of Alexandria, Virginia Non-native invasive plants have increasingly become a major threat to natural areas, parks, forests, and wetlands by displacing native species and wildlife and significantly degrading habitats. Today, they are considered the greatest threat to natural areas and global biodiversity, second only to habitat loss resulting from development and urbanization (Vitousek et al. 1996, Pimentel et al. 2005). The Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation has identified 90 non-native invasive plants that threaten natural areas and lands in Virginia (Heffernan et al. 2014) and Swearingen et al. (2010) include 80 plants from a list of nearly 280 non-native invasive plant species documented within the mid- Atlantic region. Largely overlapping with these and other regional lists are 116 species that were documented in the City of Alexandria, Virginia during vegetation surveys and natural resource assessments by the City of Alexandria Dept. of Recreation, Parks, and Cultural Activities (RPCA), Natural Lands Management Section. This list is not regulatory but serves as an educational reference informing those with concerns about non-native invasive plants in the City of Alexandria and vicinity, including taking action to prevent the further spread of these species by not planting them. Exotic species are those that are not native to a particular place or habitat as a result of human intervention. A non-native invasive plant is here defined as one that exhibits some degree of invasiveness, whether dominant and widespread in a particular habitat or landscape or much less common but long-lived and extremely persistent in places where it occurs.

  • Phylogeny and Biogeography of Valerianaceae (Dipsacales) with Special Reference to the South American Valerians Charles D.Bell Ã,1, Michael J.Donoghue
    ARTICLE IN PRESS Organisms, Diversity & Evolution 5 (2005) 147–159 www.elsevier.de/ode Phylogeny and biogeography of Valerianaceae (Dipsacales) with special reference to the South American valerians Charles D.Bell Ã,1, Michael J.Donoghue Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Yale University, New Haven, CT 065211, USA Received 22 April 2004; accepted 26 October 2004 Abstract Species of Valerianaceae are a common component of the alpine flora throughout the Northern Hemisphere as well as the Andes of South America.Sequence data from three chloroplast markers ( psbA-trnH intron, trnK-matK intron, and the trnL-F region) along with the internal transcribed spacer region (ITS) of nuclear ribosomal DNA were used to infer relationships within Valerianaceae.Both genomes, as well as a combined data set, provide support for the major clades within the group and do not support a monophyletic Valeriana.In addition, these data indicate that Plectritis is nested within South American Valeriana, as opposed to being sister to Centhranthus as previously hypothesized. Valerianaceae appear to have originated in Asia, probably in the Himalayas, and subsequently to have dispersed several times to Europe and to the New World.Our results imply that Valerianaceae colonized South America on multiple occasions from the north.In one of these cases there appears to have been a substantial and rapid radiation, primarily in the high elevation paramo habitat.A variety of methods were used to estimate divergence times to determine when Valerianaceae might have colonized South America.Regardless of the method and fossil constraints applied, our estimates suggest that Valerianaceae colonized South America prior to the formation of the Isthmus of Panama.
