Dobes* Abstract Amaranthus blitum L. subsp. emarginatus (MOQ. ex ULINE & BRAY) CARRETERO, MUNOZ GARMENDIA & PEDROL. has been recently introduced to Austria. This neophyte occurs on banks of the rivers Thaya and March along the north-eastern border of Austria where it has been established. All further locations encountered were restricted to ruderal habitats. A revision based on herbarium material and the authors' collections as well as a geographic distribution map of subsp. blitum and subsp. emarginatus including morphologically problematic specimens are given. A first chromosomal record for latter subspecies from Austria is cited. The morphological characters are discussed in detail. Data on phytosociology of subsp. emarginatus from both natural and anthropogenic habitats are presented, and according to indigenous vegetation, the ecology of this neophyte is discussed. Keywords: alien species, Amaranthus, Amaranthaceae, Austria, chromosome number, ecology, geographic distribution, taxonomy, phytosociology Zusammenfassung Amaranthus blitum L. subsp. emarginatus (MOQ. ex ULINE & BRAY) CARRETERO, MUNOZ GARMENDIA & PEDROL. ist eine erst spät in Österreich eingeschleppte Art. Neben den zumeist noch sporadischen adventiven Vorkommen dieses Neophyten existieren an den Flussufern der Thaya und March etablierte Populationen.

"National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary."
Intro 1996 National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands The Fish and Wildlife Service has prepared a National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary (1996 National List). The 1996 National List is a draft revision of the National List of Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1988 National Summary (Reed 1988) (1988 National List). The 1996 National List is provided to encourage additional public review and comments on the draft regional wetland indicator assignments. The 1996 National List reflects a significant amount of new information that has become available since 1988 on the wetland affinity of vascular plants. This new information has resulted from the extensive use of the 1988 National List in the field by individuals involved in wetland and other resource inventories, wetland identification and delineation, and wetland research. Interim Regional Interagency Review Panel (Regional Panel) changes in indicator status as well as additions and deletions to the 1988 National List were documented in Regional supplements. The National List was originally developed as an appendix to the Classification of Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the United States (Cowardin et al.1979) to aid in the consistent application of this classification system for wetlands in the field.. The 1996 National List also was developed to aid in determining the presence of hydrophytic vegetation in the Clean Water Act Section 404 wetland regulatory program and in the implementation of the swampbuster provisions of the Food Security Act. While not required by law or regulation, the Fish and Wildlife Service is making the 1996 National List available for review and comment.

Plans are published by the US. Fish and Wildlife Service, sometimes prepared with the assistance of recovery teams, contractors, State (Commonwealth) agencies, and others. Plans are reviewed by the public and submitted to additional peer review before they are adopted by the Service. Objectives will be attained and any necessary funds made available subject to and other constraints the involved as as to budgetary affecting parties , well the need address other priorities- Recovery plans do not obligate other parties to undertake specific tasks and may not represent the views or the official positions or approval of any individuals or agencies involved in formulating the plan, other then the US. Fish and Wildlife Service. Recovery plans represent the official position of the US. Fish and Wildlife Service only after they have been signed by the Regional Director or Director as approved. Approved recovery plans are subject to modification as dictated by new findings, changes in species status, and the completion of recovery tasks. By approving this document, the Regional Director certifies that the data used in its development represent the best scientific and commercial data available at the time it was written. Copies of all documents reviewed in the development of the plan are available in the administrative record, located at the Boqueron Field Office.

CATALOGUE of the GRASSES of CUBA by A. S. Hitchcock
CATALOGUE OF THE GRASSES OF CUBA By A. S. Hitchcock. INTRODUCTION. The following list of Cuban grasses is based primarily upon the collections at the Estaci6n Central Agron6mica de Cuba, situated at Santiago de las Vegas, a suburb of Habana. The herbarium includes the collections made by the members of the staff, particularly Mr. C. F. Baker, formerly head of the department of botany, and also the Sauvalle Herbarium deposited by the Habana Academy of Sciences, These specimens were examined by the writer during a short stay upon the island in the spring of 1906, and were later kindly loaned by the station authorities for a more critical study at Washington. The Sauvalle Herbarium contains a fairly complete set of the grasses col- lected by Charles Wright, the most important collection thus far obtained from Cuba. In addition to the collections at the Cuba Experiment Station, the National Herbarium furnished important material for study, including collections made by A. H. Curtiss, W. Palmer and J. H. Riley, A. Taylor (from the Isle of Pines), S. M. Tracy, Brother Leon (De la Salle College, Habana), and the writer. The earlier collections of Wright were sent to Grisebach for study. These were reported upon by Grisebach in his work entitled "Cata- logus Plant arum Cubensium," published in 1866, though preliminary reports appeared earlier in the two parts of Plantae Wrightianae. * During the spring of 1907 I had the opportunity of examining the grasses in the herbarium of Grisebach in Gottingen.6 In the present article I have, with few exceptions, accounted for the grasses listed by Grisebach in his catalogue of Cuban plants, and have appended a list of these with references to the pages in the body of this article upon which the species are considered.

This plant could form part of every region’s cultural heritage and can be transferred to the next generation. Moreover, Amaranthus is a multipurpose plant that has been identiﬁed as a traditional edible vegetable endowed with nutritional value, besides its fodder, medicinal, nutraceutical, industrial, and ornamental potentials. In recent decade Amaranthus has received increased research interest. Despite its endowment, there is a dearth of awareness of its numerous potential beneﬁts hence, it is being underutilized. Suitable cultivation systems, innovative Citation: Ruth, O.N.; Unathi, K.; processing, and value-adding techniques to promote its utilization are scarce.
