To learn more visit: www.KeepAustinWild.com Key Intro Gardening, “Austin-style”… The Grow Green plant guide was created to help you select native and adapted plants for the Austin area that are naturally drought tolerant, resistant to pests and diseases, and provide habitat and food sources for local wildlife. The less watering, fertilizing and chemical control required in your yard, the more you contribute to the conservation and protection of our precious water resources - our streams, lakes and aquifers. To grow a successful earth-wise landscape, plant the right plants in the right place. Plants from other parts of the country are often poorly suited to our climate and soils. Choosing native and adapted Central Texas plants is the sustainable, earth-wise alternative. Evaluate your planting environment and pick the plant species that will perform suitably under those conditions. The environmental conditions across Austin area vary quite a bit. The most important differences are soil depth and type, which are significant factors in ultimate plant height. In general, the deeper the soil is, the taller the plants will get. This is particularly important when planting trees. We hope you enjoy using this guide to bring a touch of Austin’s natural beauty to your own landscape.

    Proceeding ICMA-SURE – 2020 The 3rd International Conference On Multidisciplinary Approaches For Sustainable Rural Development Distinguishing two morphologically similar species of Asteraceae using a chloroplast DNA marker A H Susanto*1 and M Dwiati1 1 Faculty of Biology, Universitas Jenderal Soedirman, Purwokerto, Indonesia * Email: [email protected] Abstract. Synedrella nodiflora (L.) Gaertn and Calyptocarpus vialis Less are members of Asteraceae family that morphologically show high similarities. To genetically distinguish between them, a particular molecular marker should be employed. This study aims to present molecular comparison between both species using a chloroplast DNA marker, i.e. atpB – rbcL IGS. A pair of PCR universal primers was used to amplify the marker. Sequence alignment on the PCR products reveals longer S. nodiflora sequence in comparison to that of C. vialis. In addition, some transversions and transitions are also observed. This suggests that the two species exhibit considerable genetic difference despite their similar phenotypic appearance. 1. Introduction Many members of Asteraceae family are recognized for their potentials as ornamental, medicinal, and economic plants[1]. On the other hand, some others are known as invasive weeds[2], resulting in significant loss on several crops with respect to productivity[3]. Some species of Asteraceae family show very high phenotypical similarities causing difficulty in differentiating them from each other. For example, Calyptocarpus vialis Less has ever been identified as Synedrella vialis (Less.) A. Gray due to its high resemblance to Synedrella nodiflora[4]. Nevertheless, S. vialis is now changed into C. vialis [5] and this is the scientifically accepted name for the species, while S.

  • Maintaining and Improving Habitat for Hummingbirds in Oklahoma and Texas
    United States Department of Agriculture Maintaining and Improving Habitat for Hummingbirds in Oklahoma and Texas A Land Manager’s Guide Forest Service National Headquarters Introduction Hummingbirds play an important role in the food web, pollinating a variety of flowering plants, some of which are specifically adapted to pollination by hummingbirds. Some hummingbirds are at risk, like other pollinators, due to habitat loss, changes in the distribution and abundance of nectar plants (which are affected by climate change), the spread of invasive Anna’s Hummingbird Nest plants, and pesticide use. This guide is intended to Courtesy of Steve Berardi Wikimedia Commons help you provide and improve habitat for humming- birds, as well as other pollinators, in Oklahoma and Texas. While hummingbirds, like all birds, have the basic habitat needs of food, water, shelter, and space, this guide is focused on providing food—the plants that provide nectar for hummingbirds. Because climate, geology, and vegetation vary widely in different areas, specific recommenda- tions are presented for each ecoregion in Oklahoma and Texas. (See the Ecoregions in Oklahoma and Texas section, below.) This guide also provides brief descriptions of the species that visit Oklahoma and Texas, as well as some basic information about hummingbird habitat needs. Whether you’re involved in managing public or private lands, large acreages or small areas, you can make them attractive to our native hummingbirds. Even long, narrow pieces of habitat, like utility corridors, field edges, and roadsides, can provide important connections among larger habitat areas. Hummingbird Basics Some of the hummingbird species of Okla- homa and Texas are migratory, generally wintering in Mexico and southern Texas and pushing northward through Nevada and California for summer breeding.

  • FLAME ACANTHUS OR HUMMINGBIRD BUSH Anisacanthus Quadrifidus Var
    FLAME ACANTHUS OR HUMMINGBIRD BUSH Anisacanthus quadrifidus var. wrightii (A. wrightii) Characteristics Type: Perennial Maintenance: Low Zone: 7 to 10 Flower: Showy Height: 3.00 to 5.00 feet Attracts: Hummingbirds, Butterflies Spread: 3.00 to 4.00 feet Other: Winter Interest Bloom Time: June to September Tolerate: Deer, Drought, Clay Soil, Bloom Description: Reddish orange Shallow-Rocky Soil Sun: Full sun Texas Native Water: Dry Culture From midsummer through frost, flame acanthus is covered with long, slender, red or orange blooms that hummingbirds love. It is a drought tolerant, heat-loving small shrub that works as well in the perennial border as it does as an informal hedge or specimen plant. The bark is light and flaky and makes an interesting winter and early spring accent. Flame acanthus is late to come out in the spring, and benefits from periodic shearing or even severe cutting back in early spring. It grows in the Edwards Plateau on rocky banks and floodplains, but is adaptable to sunny, well-drained exposures throughout the state, even Houston. It is a good choice for sites with poor soils and reflected heat - although supplemental water in dry summer months will encourage flowering. Best grown in medium to dry, well-draining soils in full sun, but is adaptable to many soil types including poor, rocky soils and heavy, clay soils. Tolerant of drought, and takes well to pot culture. Noteworthy Characteristics Anisacanthus quadrifidus var. wrightii, is an upright, deciduous shrub reaching up to 5' tall and 4' wide with an informal, spreading appearance. It is native to extreme south-central Texas and adjacent northern Mexico, where it is found growing on rocky, calcareous slopes and floodplains.

    IN MEMORIAM: DONALD J. PINKAVA (29 AUGUST 1933–25 JULY 2017) Liz Makings Herbarium (ASU), School of Life Sciences Arizona State University, P.O. Box 874108 Tempe, Arizona 85287-4108, U.S.A. [email protected] My name is Liz Makings and I am the collections manager of the Arizona State University Herbarium. I was a graduate student at ASU in 2000 when I met Dr. Pinkava and he had just retired, so while I missed out on his talents as a teacher, I was lucky to get to know him as a mentor, colleague, and friend. Dr. Pinkava had a heart of gold, a mind like a trap, and a delightful collection of idiosyncrasies that was perfectly suited to his career path. He was hired at ASU in 1964 after completing his PhD. at Ohio State and was immediately responsible for teaching a 300 level botany class called “Flora of Arizona.” He undertook this responsibility with a meticulousness and attention to detail that can only be described as “Pinkavesque,” col- lecting the plants, learning the flora, and scouring the state for the best field trip sites. To his students he was simultaneously feared and adored. His exams turned men into boys and triggered anxiety attacks even among the best. He did not give grades, you earned them. There was no one more demanding, no one more thorough, yet no one more caring and helpful. Many former students have sung his praises and I’ll share this quote from one: “Dr. Pinkava was one of the kindest scientists I have ever interacted with, a trait that sometimes goes missing in our academic world.

  • Invasive Alien Plants an Ecological Appraisal for the Indian Subcontinent
    Invasive Alien Plants An Ecological Appraisal for the Indian Subcontinent EDITED BY I.R. BHATT, J.S. SINGH, S.P. SINGH, R.S. TRIPATHI AND R.K. KOHL! 019eas Invasive Alien Plants An Ecological Appraisal for the Indian Subcontinent FSC ...wesc.org MIX Paper from responsible sources `FSC C013604 CABI INVASIVE SPECIES SERIES Invasive species are plants, animals or microorganisms not native to an ecosystem, whose introduction has threatened biodiversity, food security, health or economic development. Many ecosystems are affected by invasive species and they pose one of the biggest threats to biodiversity worldwide. Globalization through increased trade, transport, travel and tour- ism will inevitably increase the intentional or accidental introduction of organisms to new environments, and it is widely predicted that climate change will further increase the threat posed by invasive species. To help control and mitigate the effects of invasive species, scien- tists need access to information that not only provides an overview of and background to the field, but also keeps them up to date with the latest research findings. This series addresses all topics relating to invasive species, including biosecurity surveil- lance, mapping and modelling, economics of invasive species and species interactions in plant invasions. Aimed at researchers, upper-level students and policy makers, titles in the series provide international coverage of topics related to invasive species, including both a synthesis of facts and discussions of future research perspectives and possible solutions.

    SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO BOTANY 0 NCTMBER 52 Chromosome Numbers in Compositae, XII: Heliantheae Harold Robinson, A. Michael Powell, Robert M. King, andJames F. Weedin SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION PRESS City of Washington 1981 ABSTRACT Robinson, Harold, A. Michael Powell, Robert M. King, and James F. Weedin. Chromosome Numbers in Compositae, XII: Heliantheae. Smithsonian Contri- butions to Botany, number 52, 28 pages, 3 tables, 1981.-Chromosome reports are provided for 145 populations, including first reports for 33 species and three genera, Garcilassa, Riencourtia, and Helianthopsis. Chromosome numbers are arranged according to Robinson’s recently broadened concept of the Heliantheae, with citations for 212 of the ca. 265 genera and 32 of the 35 subtribes. Diverse elements, including the Ambrosieae, typical Heliantheae, most Helenieae, the Tegeteae, and genera such as Arnica from the Senecioneae, are seen to share a specialized cytological history involving polyploid ancestry. The authors disagree with one another regarding the point at which such polyploidy occurred and on whether subtribes lacking higher numbers, such as the Galinsoginae, share the polyploid ancestry. Numerous examples of aneuploid decrease, secondary polyploidy, and some secondary aneuploid decreases are cited. The Marshalliinae are considered remote from other subtribes and close to the Inuleae. Evidence from related tribes favors an ultimate base of X = 10 for the Heliantheae and at least the subfamily As teroideae.
