Atlas of the Flora of New England: Fabaceae
Angelo, R. and D.E. Boufford. 2013. Atlas of the flora of New England: Fabaceae. Phytoneuron 2013-2: 1–15 + map pages 1– 21. Published 9 January 2013. ISSN 2153 733X ATLAS OF THE FLORA OF NEW ENGLAND: FABACEAE RAY ANGELO1 and DAVID E. BOUFFORD2 Harvard University Herbaria 22 Divinity Avenue Cambridge, Massachusetts 02138-2020 [email protected] [email protected] ABSTRACT Dot maps are provided to depict the distribution at the county level of the taxa of Magnoliophyta: Fabaceae growing outside of cultivation in the six New England states of the northeastern United States. The maps treat 172 taxa (species, subspecies, varieties, and hybrids, but not forms) based primarily on specimens in the major herbaria of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut, with most data derived from the holdings of the New England Botanical Club Herbarium (NEBC). Brief synonymy (to account for names used in standard manuals and floras for the area and on herbarium specimens), habitat, chromosome information, and common names are also provided. KEY WORDS: flora, New England, atlas, distribution, Fabaceae This article is the eleventh in a series (Angelo & Boufford 1996, 1998, 2000, 2007, 2010, 2011a, 2011b, 2012a, 2012b, 2012c) that presents the distributions of the vascular flora of New England in the form of dot distribution maps at the county level (Figure 1). Seven more articles are planned. The atlas is posted on the internet at http://neatlas.org, where it will be updated as new information becomes available. This project encompasses all vascular plants (lycophytes, pteridophytes and spermatophytes) at the rank of species, subspecies, and variety growing independent of cultivation in the six New England states. -
Specificity in Legume-Rhizobia Symbioses
International Journal of Molecular Sciences Review Specificity in Legume-Rhizobia Symbioses Mitchell Andrews * and Morag E. Andrews Faculty of Agriculture and Life Sciences, Lincoln University, PO Box 84, Lincoln 7647, New Zealand; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +64-3-423-0692 Academic Editors: Peter M. Gresshoff and Brett Ferguson Received: 12 February 2017; Accepted: 21 March 2017; Published: 26 March 2017 Abstract: Most species in the Leguminosae (legume family) can fix atmospheric nitrogen (N2) via symbiotic bacteria (rhizobia) in root nodules. Here, the literature on legume-rhizobia symbioses in field soils was reviewed and genotypically characterised rhizobia related to the taxonomy of the legumes from which they were isolated. The Leguminosae was divided into three sub-families, the Caesalpinioideae, Mimosoideae and Papilionoideae. Bradyrhizobium spp. were the exclusive rhizobial symbionts of species in the Caesalpinioideae, but data are limited. Generally, a range of rhizobia genera nodulated legume species across the two Mimosoideae tribes Ingeae and Mimoseae, but Mimosa spp. show specificity towards Burkholderia in central and southern Brazil, Rhizobium/Ensifer in central Mexico and Cupriavidus in southern Uruguay. These specific symbioses are likely to be at least in part related to the relative occurrence of the potential symbionts in soils of the different regions. Generally, Papilionoideae species were promiscuous in relation to rhizobial symbionts, but specificity for rhizobial genus appears to hold at the tribe level for the Fabeae (Rhizobium), the genus level for Cytisus (Bradyrhizobium), Lupinus (Bradyrhizobium) and the New Zealand native Sophora spp. (Mesorhizobium) and species level for Cicer arietinum (Mesorhizobium), Listia bainesii (Methylobacterium) and Listia angolensis (Microvirga). -
Flowering Plants and Ferns of Keele University David W
Flowering Plants and Ferns of Keele University David W. Emley Updated June 2019 Keele is perhaps more interesting for its trees than for its flowering plants, however there are a few unusual species amongst them. The deciduous woodland, consisting mainly of Oak and Sycamore, has a poor ground flora which makes for a fine display of Bluebells in the spring. It also has Yellow Archangel, a plant associated with ancient woodland as well as the lovely Wood Sorrel. The former sewage-works site, just south of Lake 5, was once home to a small colony of Harebell and Betony. The area between that site and the entrance to Lymes Road used to be very good for plants. Indeed, there was a colony of Common Spotted Orchids and a few Northern Marsh Orchids. These appear to have gone - it is too overgrown now. The small gully that leads into Lake 7 is lined with Bluebells but also Ramsons or Wild Garlic; its main site at Keele. Keele has a good bramble flora and is the type locality for Rubus sneydii, named by Eric Edees; a national expert on brambles who lived nearby. One plant, Rhododendron ponticum, is causing problems in the deciduous woodland where it is very invasive and is unfortunately the host of Phytophthora ramorum. This virus can seriously affect oaks, larches and many other trees. Because of this Keele has to remove all its Larch and most of its Rhododendron. This will, of course, open up the woodland to let the native ground flora grow up and extensive replanting with native trees is scheduled to start in autumn 2015. -
INTRODUCTION This Check List of the Plants of New Jersey Has Been
INTRODUCTION This Check List of the Plants of New Jersey has been compiled by updating and integrating the catalogs prepared by such authors as Nathaniel Lord Britton (1881 and 1889), Witmer Stone (1911), and Norman Taylor (1915) with such other sources as recently-published local lists, field trip reports of the Torrey Botanical Society and the Philadelphia Botanical Club, the New Jersey Natural Heritage Program’s list of threatened and endangered plants, personal observations in the field and the herbarium, and observations by other competent field botanists. The Check List includes 2,758 species, a botanical diversity that is rather unexpected in a small state like New Jersey. Of these, 1,944 are plants that are (or were) native to the state - still a large number, and one that reflects New Jersey's habitat diversity. The balance are plants that have been introduced from other countries or from other parts of North America. The list could be lengthened by hundreds of species by including non-persistent garden escapes and obscure waifs and ballast plants, many of which have not been seen in New Jersey since the nineteenth century, but it would be misleading to do so. The Check List should include all the plants that are truly native to New Jersey, plus all the introduced species that are naturalized here or for which there are relatively recent records, as well as many introduced plants of very limited occurrence. But no claims are made for the absolute perfection of the list. Plant nomenclature is constantly being revised. Single old species may be split into several new species, or multiple old species may be combined into one. -
Winter Newsletter 2016-17
Issue 2 NFG Winter Newsletter 2016-17 Norfolk Flora Group – Winter Newsletter 2016-17 Welcome to the NFG Winter Newsletter Amazingly, and despite the state of dormancy which many of us enter into at this time of year, a number of you read the inaugural edition; and some of you even seemed to enjoy it (or at least were too polite to say otherwise). Anyway; we were sufficiently encouraged that we decided to produce Issue No. 2. In this issue … we find out about Robin’s very large vegetable. There have been rumours, but we now have photographic evidence. Our esteemed Dr Leaney tells us about all the things we secretly wanted to know (but have always been too shy to ask) about glands; Richard discusses problems with Poa; the eagerly awaited results of ‘Norfolk Flora Group Pub of The Year’ are finally made public; Mike C goes fishing; and much, much more. We again take a quick look back at some of the more interesting moments from the 2016 botanising season, and prevue some of the events planned for the 2017 season. Contributors to this edition are Suki Pryce, Janet Higgins, Bob Leaney, Mike Crewe, Robin Stevenson and myself, together with our glorious ‘leaders’, Richard Carter and Bob Ellis; and our mysterious crossword compiler. Feedback on the content, types of articles etc would be very welcome. If anyone would like to prepare something for the 2017-18 edition, or nominate a ‘friend’, or even someone you dislike intensely, to write something (they need never know), I would be delighted to hear from you. -

Phylogenomics and Biogeography of Wisteria (Fabaceae), with Implication on Plastome Evolution of Inverted Repeat-Lacking Clade
Phylogenomics and biogeography of Wisteria (Fabaceae), with implication on plastome evolution of inverted repeat-lacking clade Mao-Qin Xia Zhejiang University Ren-Yu Liao Zhejiang University Jin-Ting Zhou Zhejiang University Han-Yang Lin Zhejiang University Jian-Hua Li Hope College Pan Li ( [email protected] ) Zhejiang University https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9407-7740 Cheng-Xin Fu Zhejiang University Ying-Xiong Qiu Zhejiang University Research article Keywords: comparative genomics, Eastern Asian-Eastern North American disjunction, Glycyrrhiza, Millettia Posted Date: September 24th, 2019 DOI: https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.2.14871/v1 License: This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License. Read Full License Page 1/16 Abstract Background: The inverted repeat-lacking clade (IRLC) of Fabaceae is characterized by loss of an IR region in plastomes. Both the loss of an IR region and the life history may have affected the evolution of the plastomes in the clade. Nevertheless, few studies have been done to test the impact explicitly. Wisteria , an important member of IRLC and has a disjunct distribution between eastern Asia and eastern North America, has confused interspecic relationships and biogeography, which need to elucidate in depth. Results: The plastome of six newly sequenced Wisteria species and a Millettia japonica ranged from 130,116 to 132,547 bp. Phylogenetic analyses recognized two major clades in IRLC: Glycyrrhiza - Millettia - Wisteria clade and a clade containing the remaining genera. North American Wisteria species and Asian species formed reciprocal clades. Within Asian clade, each of the two Japanese species was sister to a species in the Asian continent. -
