Conservation Assessment for White Adder’s Mouth Orchid (Malaxis Brachypoda) (A. Gray) Fernald 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Malaxis brachypoda (A. Gray) Fernald is considered rare throughout much of its range. It is a small, inconspicuous, one-leaved orchid that occurs in the Great Lakes region, New England, west from Newfoundland across Canada to British Columbia and southern Alaska, with disjunct populations in Colorado and California. Malaxis brachypoda is known to occur in four National Forests in the Eastern Region (Region 9) of the Forest Service (USDA 2000): Chequamegon- Nicolet (Wisconsin), Chippewa (Minnesota), Hiawatha (Michigan), and Huron-Manistee (Michigan). In Wisconsin and Minnesota, Malaxis brachypoda is a state listed, special concern species. It is reported to occur in the state of Michigan, but it is not considered to be a species of concern and is not tracked. This species occurs in wetlands such as bogs, swamps, swales, and wet meadows, as well as in crevices of shady wet cliffs and ledges. It often grows in shaded areas, but occurs in the open as well. Some of the major threats to this species are hydrological disturbances and canopy removal due to logging. Very little is understood about the life cycle, ecology, or population biology of M. brachypoda. Some information may be generalized with caution from other orchid species, including M. paludosa. More research needs to be done specifically on M. brachypoda, including the mycorrhizal association upon which it is dependent. Long-term monitoring of populations of this species and its habitat are needed to assess population viability and stability in order to help make wise management decisions. INTRODUCTION/OBJECTIVES One of the conservation practices of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service is designation of Regional Forester Sensitive Species (RFSS). The Eastern Region (R9) of the Forest Service updated its Sensitive Species list on 29 February 2000 (USDA 2000). Part of that process included identification of priority species for conservation assessments and strategies. Malaxis brachypoda (A. Gray) Fernald, white adder’s-mouth orchid, was one of those priority species. This species is listed as a Regional Forester Sensitive Species (RFSS) on the Hiawatha National Forest in the Upper Peninsula and the Huron-Manistee National Forest in the northern Lower Peninsula of Michigan. It is also a RFSS on the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest in Wisconsin and the Chippewa National Forest in Minnesota (RFSS 2000). This species is also listed as a RFSS in the Rocky Mountain Region (Region 2). The objectives of this document are to: 1. Provide an overview of current biological, ecological, systematic, and other knowledge for this species. 2. Provide a summary of the distribution and status of this species, both range wide and within the Eastern Region of the USDA Forest Service. 3. Provide the available background information needed to prepare a subsequent Conservation Strategy. Conservation Assessment for White Adder’s Mouth Orchid (Malaxis Brachypoda) (A. Gray) Fernald 3 NOMENCLATURE AND TAXONOMY Scientific Name: Malaxis brachypoda (A. Gray) Fernald Family: Orchidaceae; orchid family Common Name: White adder’s-mouth orchid USDA Plant Code: MABR5 Synonyms: Malaxis monophylla (L.) Sw. var. brachypoda (Gray) Morris Malaxis monophyllos (L.) Sw. var. brachypoda (A. Gray) Morris and Eames Malaxis monophyllos (L.) Sw. subsp. brachypoda (A. Gray) A. Löve and D. Löve Microstylis brachypoda A. Gray Malaxis comes from the Greek word meaning soft or delicate, referring apparently to the leaves of that genus (Smith 1993). Brachypoda is a Greek word meaning “short-pedicilled” (Fuller 1933) or “short foot” apparently referring to the pedicel length (Wisconsin State Herbarium). In 1830, Lindley (Luer 1975) assumed that North American plants of this orchid were identical to Microstylis (Malaxis) monophyllos growing in Europe. However, in 1835, Asa Gray concluded that the North American plants differed enough from their European counterparts to warrant naming a new species, Microstylis brachypoda. One of the main differences between the European and North American plants is the degree of twisting of the pedicel. The North American plants have flowers whose pedicels are twisted 180° (resupinate) resulting in the lip being in the lowermost position in the flower. The flower of the

  • Guide to the Flora of the Carolinas, Virginia, and Georgia, Working Draft of 17 March 2004 -- LILIACEAE
    Guide to the Flora of the Carolinas, Virginia, and Georgia, Working Draft of 17 March 2004 -- LILIACEAE LILIACEAE de Jussieu 1789 (Lily Family) (also see AGAVACEAE, ALLIACEAE, ALSTROEMERIACEAE, AMARYLLIDACEAE, ASPARAGACEAE, COLCHICACEAE, HEMEROCALLIDACEAE, HOSTACEAE, HYACINTHACEAE, HYPOXIDACEAE, MELANTHIACEAE, NARTHECIACEAE, RUSCACEAE, SMILACACEAE, THEMIDACEAE, TOFIELDIACEAE) As here interpreted narrowly, the Liliaceae constitutes about 11 genera and 550 species, of the Northern Hemisphere. There has been much recent investigation and re-interpretation of evidence regarding the upper-level taxonomy of the Liliales, with strong suggestions that the broad Liliaceae recognized by Cronquist (1981) is artificial and polyphyletic. Cronquist (1993) himself concurs, at least to a degree: "we still await a comprehensive reorganization of the lilies into several families more comparable to other recognized families of angiosperms." Dahlgren & Clifford (1982) and Dahlgren, Clifford, & Yeo (1985) synthesized an early phase in the modern revolution of monocot taxonomy. Since then, additional research, especially molecular (Duvall et al. 1993, Chase et al. 1993, Bogler & Simpson 1995, and many others), has strongly validated the general lines (and many details) of Dahlgren's arrangement. The most recent synthesis (Kubitzki 1998a) is followed as the basis for familial and generic taxonomy of the lilies and their relatives (see summary below). References: Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (1998, 2003); Tamura in Kubitzki (1998a). Our “liliaceous” genera (members of orders placed in the Lilianae) are therefore divided as shown below, largely following Kubitzki (1998a) and some more recent molecular analyses. ALISMATALES TOFIELDIACEAE: Pleea, Tofieldia. LILIALES ALSTROEMERIACEAE: Alstroemeria COLCHICACEAE: Colchicum, Uvularia. LILIACEAE: Clintonia, Erythronium, Lilium, Medeola, Prosartes, Streptopus, Tricyrtis, Tulipa. MELANTHIACEAE: Amianthium, Anticlea, Chamaelirium, Helonias, Melanthium, Schoenocaulon, Stenanthium, Veratrum, Toxicoscordion, Trillium, Xerophyllum, Zigadenus.

  • A List of Grasses and Grasslike Plants of the Oak Openings, Lucas County
    A LIST OF THE GRASSES AND GRASSLIKE PLANTS OF THE OAK OPENINGS, LUCAS COUNTY, OHIO1 NATHAN WILLIAM EASTERLY Department of Biology, Bowling Green State University, Bowling Green, Ohio 4-3403 ABSTRACT This report is the second of a series of articles to be prepared as a second "Flora of the Oak Openings." The study represents a comprehensive survey of members of the Cyperaceae, Gramineae, Juncaceae, Sparganiaceae, and Xyridaceae in the Oak Openings region. Of the 202 species listed in this study, 34 species reported by Moseley in 1928 were not found during the present investigation. Fifty-seven species found by the present investi- gator were not observed or reported by Moseley. Many of these species or varieties are rare and do not represent a stable part of the flora. Changes in species present or in fre- quency of occurrence of species collected by both Moseley and Easterly may be explained mainly by the alteration of habitats as the Oak Openings region becomes increasingly urbanized or suburbanized. Some species have increased in frequency on the floodplain of Swan Creek, in wet ditches and on the banks of the Norfolk and Western Railroad right-of-way, along newly constructed roadsides, or on dry sandy sites. INTRODUCTION The grass family ranks third among the large plant families of the world. The family ranks number one as far as total numbers of plants that cover fields, mead- ows, or roadsides are concerned. No other family is used as extensively to pro- vide food or shelter or to create a beautiful landscape. The sedge family does not fare as well in terms of commercial importance, but the sedges do make avail- able forage and food for wild fowl and they do contribute plant cover in wet areas where other plants would not be as well adapted.

Recibido 6 de diciembre, 2010; aceptado 30 de junio, 2011 Abstract DNA barcoding has been proposed as a practical and standardized tool for species identification. However, the determination of the appropriate marker DNA regions is still a major challenge. In this study, we eXtracted DNA from 27 plant species belonging to 27 different families native of Costa Rica, amplified and sequenced the plastid genes matK and rpoC1 and the intergenic spacer trnH-psbA. Bioinformatic analyses were performed with the aim of determining the utility of these markers as possible barcodes to discriminate among species and for phylogenetic reconstruction. From the markers selected, the trnH-psbA spacer was the most variable in terms of genetic distance and the most promising region for barcoding. However, it presented a limited use for constructing phylogenies due to the compleXity of its alignment. The locus matK was less variable but was also useful for species discrimination and for phylogenetic tree generation. The rpoC1 region was highly conserved and suitable for phylogenetic studies, but presented a limited utility as a barcode. The marker combination matK and rpoC1 provided the best resolution for establishing valid phylogenetic relationships among the analyzed plant families.
