  • For: March 31, 2018
    Plant Lover’s Almanac Jim Chatfield Ohio State University Extension For: March 31, 2018 AcerMania. AcerPhilia. The crazy love of one of our greatest group of trees. Maples. From maple syrup to maple furniture. From musical instruments due to their tone-carrying trait to a wondrous range of landscape plants. Here are a few queries about maples I have received recently and a few rhetorical questions I have added to the mix for proper seasoning. Q. – Which maples are used to make maple syrup? A. – How topical. The obvious answer is sugar maple, Acer saccharum, with sweetness of the sap sewn into its Latin name. Silver maple is also sometimes used, and its Latin name, Acer saccharinum, suggests this is so. Black maple, Acer nigrum, is commonly used and it is so closely-related to sugar maple that it is often considered a sub-species. Box elder, Acer negundo, is also used somewhat in Canada, but to me one of the most surprisingly tapped maples, increasing in popularity in Ohio is red maple, Acer rubrum. Its sap is less sweet but red maple sugar-bushes are easier to manage. Q. Where does the name “Ácer” come from? A. The origins are somewhat obscure, but one theory is that its roots mean “sharp”, which if true would relate to the pointed nature of the leaf lobes on many maples. As a Latin genus name, Acer has over 120 species worldwide, with only one in the southern hemisphere. Q. – Which maples are native to the United States? A. - Five are familiar to us here in the northeastern U.S., namely sugar maple, red maple, silver maple, striped maple and box elder.

  • Ore Bin / Oregon Geology Magazine / Journal
    State of Oregon The ORE BIN Department of Geology Volume 35, No.3 and Mineral Industries 1069State Office Bldg. March 1973 Portland Oregon 97201 THE OLIGOCENE LYONS FLORA OF NORTHWESTERN OREGON Herb Meyer Student, Portland State University The purpose of this study of the Lyons flora is to determine the age and paleoecology of the flora through the examination and identification of the fossil plant species of the flora. The plant fossi Is comprising the Lyons flora were collected from a locality in the .t~~·fi:~ora upper Thomas Creek area, 5 mi les sou theast of the town of Lyons, Oregon. Geologic Occurrence The beds from which the Lyons flora was obtained are part of the Little Butte Volcanic Series of Oligocene and early Miocene age described by Peck and others(1964). Stratigraphically below the fossil deposit, the Little Butte Volcanic Series is characterized by a pumiceous tuff-breccia which contains blocks and fragments of a volcanic flow rock. This exposure, the base of which is not exposed, underlies the fossil deposit for a thickness of more than 400 feet. The deposit containing the fossi I leaves is composed of a thinly lami­ nated tuffaceous material which has been silicifed to varying degrees. These beds may have been deposi ted in a sha !low, quiet body of water. Lacustrine deposition is suggested by the stratification of the beds, the abundant pres­ ence of fossil leaves, and the presence of one water plant in the fossil record. Composition of the Lyons Flora Twenty-four identified fossi I plants represent the Lyons flora as it is known at this point in the study.

  • Early Oligocene Plant Diversity Along the Upper Rhine Graben: the Fossil Flora of Rauenberg, Germany
    Acta Palaeobotanica 56(2): 329–440, 2016 DOI: 10.1515/acpa-2016-0011 Early Oligocene plant diversity along the Upper Rhine Graben: The fossil flora of Rauenberg, Germany JOHANNA KOVAR-EDER State Museum of Natural History Stuttgart, Rosenstein 1, 70191 Stuttgart, Germany; e-mail: [email protected] Received 11 July 2016; accepted for publication 7 October 2016 ABSTRACT. The macroflora of Rauenberg, Baden-Württemberg, Germany, is treated monographically. The plant-bearing sediments are marine, mainly well-bedded clay- to siltstones, the so-called Fischschiefer, which are part of the Bodenheim Formation. Based on nannoplankton they are dated to nannoplankton zone NP 23 (Rupelian, Lower Oligocene). The plant remains, mainly leaves and some fructifications, are preserved as compressions. The taxonomic assignment is based on gross morphology and cuticle characteristics. The flora yields marine algae and remains of the very diverse terrestrial flora. A total of 68 taxa, including three types of algae, one cycad, 12 conifers, and 49 dicots, among them 5 palms, are described. The following fossil spe- cies are described for the first time: Laurophyllum rauenbergense, Myrica obliquifolia, Distylium metzleri, ? Berchemia altorhenana, ? Ternstroemites maritiae, Trachelospermum kelleri, Oleinites altorhenana, O. rauen- bergensis, Dicotylophyllum badense, D. oechsleri, D. vesiculaeferens, D. ziegleri, ? Viscophyllum hendriksiae, and Cladites vesiculaeferens. Dicotylophyllum vesiculaeferens and Cladites vesiculaeferens bear peculiar, complex cuticular structures presumably representing salt-secreting glands. Both taxa are interpreted to derive from one plant species of yet uncertain systematic affinity. The flora bears a high proportion of broad-leaved, presum- ably evergreen taxa, whereas the diversity of modern Arcto-Tertiary taxa (sensu Kvaček 1994) is rather low.

My committee chair, Steven R. Manchester, provided continual support and assistance in helping me become a better researcher. The members of my committee, David L. Dilcher and Walter S. Judd, have spent much time and effort teaching me in their areas of expertise. The University of Florida Herbarium (FLAS) staff, including Kent Perkins and Trudy Lindler, were of great assistance. I also thank the Harvard Herbarium (A, GH) staff, especially Emily Wood, David Boufford, Kancheepuram Gandhi, and Timothy Whitfeld, as well as those at the Beijing Herbarium (PE) and Zhiduan Chen, who helped to arrange my visit to China. I thank David Jarzen for help with the University of Florida fossil plant collections. I appreciate the access to fossil specimens provided to Steven Manchester and me by Amanda Ash, Melvin Ashwill, James Basinger, Lisa Barksdale, Richard Dillhoff, Thomas Dillhoff, Diane Erwin, Leo Hickey, Kirk Johnson, Linda Klise, Wesley Wehr, and Scott Wing. Thanks go to Richard and Thomas Dillhoff for providing measurements of additional fossil specimens. I especially thank my husband, Rob McClain, for his patience, help, and support, and my parents for their love and encouragement. This work was funded in part by a research assistantship from the Florida Museum of Natural History.

ISSN 0036-5343. Abstract: The laminated diatomite of Bechlejovice in the suburbs of Děčín from the area of the České středohoří Mountains, nort- hern Bohemia, has become a world-known palaeontological site of Tertiary frogs. It is now evaluated in respect of the flora and vegetation based on plant macrofossils. Also the so far accomplished explorations in palaeontological, geological and geoche- mical research are reviewed. The plant macrofossil record includes a bryophyte, two ferns (Polypodium, Rumohra), a cycad (?), a single conifer (Torreya) and over 70 angiosperms, of which Mahonia pseudosimplex sp. nov., Tilia brassicoides (SAPORTA) comb. nov., Zelkova zelkovifolia (UNG.)
