D. Hook.) Baillon had been made in 1893, earlier than the combination made by G. C. Druce re ported in our revision of the genus Amphibromus in Australia (Jacobs and Lapinpuro 1986). Baillon's combination had been overlooked by Index Kewensis and by the Chase Index (Chase and Niles 1962). The full citation is: Amphibromus nervosus (J. D. Hook.) Baillon, Histoire des Plantes 12: 203 (1893). BASIONYM: Danthonia nervosa J. D. Hook., Fl.FI. Tasm. 2: 121, pI.pl. 163A (1858). Hooker based his combination on the illegitimate Avena nervosa R. Br. (see Jacobs and Lapinpuro 1986 for further comment). Amphibromus nervosus (1. D. Hook.) G. C. Druce then becomes a superfluous combina tion and is added to the synonymy. Arthur Chapman also kindly pointed out a synonym that to the best of my knowledge has not been used beyond its initial publication. This synonym is: Avenastrum nervosum Vierh., Verhandlungen der Gesellschaft Deutscher Naturforscher und Artze 85. Versammlung zu Wien (Leipzig) 1: 672 (1913). This name was based on the illegitimate Avena nervosa R. Br. and the protologue apparently does not mention Danthonia nervosa J. D. Hook. (A. Chapman pers. com.) so Vierhapper's name is new and dates from his publica tion and this name has the same type as Avena nervosa R. Br. References Chase, A. & Niles, C. D.

A REVISION of TRISETUM Victor L. Finot,' Paul M
A REVISION OF TRISETUM Victor L. Finot,' Paul M. Peterson,3 (POACEAE: POOIDEAE: Fernando 0 Zuloaga,* Robert J. v sorene, and Oscar Mattnei AVENINAE) IN SOUTH AMERICA1 ABSTRACT A taxonomic treatment of Trisetum Pers. for South America, is given. Eighteen species and six varieties of Trisetum are recognized in South America. Chile (14 species, 3 varieties) and Argentina (12 species, 5 varieties) have the greatest number of taxa in the genus. Two varieties, T. barbinode var. sclerophyllum and T longiglume var. glabratum, are endemic to Argentina, whereas T. mattheii and T nancaguense are known only from Chile. Trisetum andinum is endemic to Ecuador, T. macbridei is endemic to Peru, and T. foliosum is endemic to Venezuela. A total of four species are found in Ecuador and Peru, and there are two species in Venezuela and Colombia. The following new species are described and illustrated: Trisetum mattheii Finot and T nancaguense Finot, from Chile, and T pyramidatum Louis- Marie ex Finot, from Chile and Argentina. The following two new combinations are made: T barbinode var. sclerophyllum (Hack, ex Stuck.) Finot and T. spicatum var. cumingii (Nees ex Steud.) Finot. A key for distinguishing the species and varieties of Trisetum in South America is given. The names Koeleria cumingii Nees ex Steud., Trisetum sect. Anaulacoa Louis-Marie, Trisetum sect. Aulacoa Louis-Marie, Trisetum subg. Heterolytrum Louis-Marie, Trisetum subg. Isolytrum Louis-Marie, Trisetum subsect. Koeleriformia Louis-Marie, Trisetum subsect. Sphenopholidea Louis-Marie, Trisetum ma- lacophyllum Steud., Trisetum variabile E. Desv., and Trisetum variabile var. virescens E. Desv. are lectotypified. Key words: Aveninae, Gramineae, Poaceae, Pooideae, Trisetum.

Danthonia popinensis is a recently discovered, nationally endangered tussock grass, originally known from only one roadside population at Kempton, Tasmania. Six populations have been recorded, all from flat land with mildly acid non-rocky soils, and all in small toadside or paddock remnants, badly invaded by exotic plants. However, one site has recently been destroyed through roadworks. The species germinates best at temperatures of 10°e, indicating a winter germination strategy. Autumn burning at Kempton resulted in an increased cover of D. popinensis two years after the burn, but also resulted in an increased cover of competitive exotics. The future of the species needs to be secured by ex situ plantings, as almost all of its original habitat has been converted to crops or improved pasture. Key Words: Danthonia popinensis, wallaby grass, tussock grass, endangered species, Tasmania. INTRODUCTION common fire management regime (e.g.

Chapter 2 ECOLOGICAL RANGES OF PLANT SPECIES IN THE MONSOON ZONE OF THE RUSSIAN FAR EAST Vitaly P. Seledets1* and Nina S. Probatova2 1Pacific Institute of Geography FEB RAS, 690041 Vladivostok, Russia 2Institute of Biology and Soil Science FEB RAS, 690022 Vladivostok, Russia ABSTRACT The monsoon zone covers a considerable part of the Russian Far East (RFE), which includes the Kamchatka Peninsula, Sakhalin, the Kurile Islands, the continental coasts and islands of the Bering Sea, the Sea of Okhotsk, the Sea of Japan, and the Amur River basin. The problem of biodiversity in the monsoon zone is connected to species adaptations, speciation and florogenesis, the formation of plant communities, vegetation dynamics, and population structure. Our concept of the ecological range (ecorange, ER) of plant species (Seledets & Probatova 2007b) is aimed at adaptive strategies in the RFE monsoon zone compared with Inner Asia.

Besides these characters another can be observed in South American species, namely tufts of hairs in a trans- verse line across the back of the lemma just beneath the Insertion of the cen- tral awn. Species, which exhibit this character, are, however, not confined to South America but occur also in the Easter-Island, in New Zealand, Austra- lia, Tasmania, Indonesia and in the Himalayas. ZoTOV has based his genus Notodanthonia on species from New Zealand. It remains to be decided whether or not this genus should be retained. Only the study of the South American species can elucidate this problem. None of the groups mentioned so far occurs in southern Africa. None- theless, not fewer than 121 Danthonia species have been described from the- re. It goes without saying that many of these names are synonyms. More- over, over the years, quite a number of these species have been separated into different genera which have been recognized by most students of African Gramineae. These include well-known generic names such as Pentameris, Pentaschistis, Strehlochaete, Chaetohromus, Alloeochaete as well as Phacnan- thoecium. But, even so, 36 species remain in Danthonia as can be seen in C. E. Hubbard's treatment of this group in the Flora of Tropical Africa and in Miss Chippindall's cursory guide to South African grasses. In the following account these remaining species of Danthonia will be considered: The first 4 taxa described as Danthonia can be distinguished from typical Danthonia at a first glance by having a long pungent callus at the base of each floret.

Classification of the Vegetation Alliances and Associations of Sonoma County, California
Classification of the Vegetation Alliances and Associations of Sonoma County, California Volume 1 of 2 – Introduction, Methods, and Results Prepared by: California Department of Fish and Wildlife Vegetation Classification and Mapping Program California Native Plant Society Vegetation Program For: The Sonoma County Agricultural Preservation and Open Space District The Sonoma County Water Agency Authors: Anne Klein, Todd Keeler-Wolf, and Julie Evens December 2015 ABSTRACT This report describes 118 alliances and 212 associations that are found in Sonoma County, California, comprising the most comprehensive local vegetation classification to date. The vegetation types were defined using a standardized classification approach consistent with the Survey of California Vegetation (SCV) and the United States National Vegetation Classification (USNVC) system. This floristic classification is the basis for an integrated, countywide vegetation map that the Sonoma County Vegetation Mapping and Lidar Program expects to complete in 2017. Ecologists with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and the California Native Plant Society analyzed species data from 1149 field surveys collected in Sonoma County between 2001 and 2014. The data include 851 surveys collected in 2013 and 2014 through funding provided specifically for this classification effort. An additional 283 surveys that were conducted in adjacent counties are included in the analysis to provide a broader, regional understanding. A total of 34 tree-overstory, 28 shrubland, and 56 herbaceous alliances are described, with 69 tree-overstory, 51 shrubland, and 92 herbaceous associations. This report is divided into two volumes. Volume 1 (this volume) is composed of the project introduction, methods, and results. It includes a floristic key to all vegetation types, a table showing the full local classification nested within the USNVC hierarchy, and a crosswalk showing the relationship between this and other classification systems.

GRAPHIE by Cornelia D. Niles with INTRODUCTION and BOTANICAL
A BIBLIOGRAPHIC STUDY OF BEAUVOIS' AGROSTO- • GRAPHIE By Cornelia D. Niles WITH INTRODUCTION AND BOTANICAL NOTES By Aones Chase nrntODTJCTiON The Essai d?une Nouvelle Agrostographie ; ou Nouveaux Genres des Graminees; avec figures representant les Oaracteres de tous les Genres, by A. M. F. J. Palisot de Beauvois, published in 1812, is, from the standpoint of the nomenclature of grasses, a very important work, its importance being due principally to its innumerable errors, less so because of its scientific value. In this small volume 69 new genera are proposed and some 640 new species, new binomials, and new names are published. Of the 69 genera proposed 31 are to-day recognized as valid, and of the 640 names about 61 are commonly accepted. There is probably not a grass flora of any considerable region anywhere in the world that does not contain some of Beauvois' names. Many of the new names are made in such haphazard fashion that they are incorrectly listed in the Index Kewensis. There are, besides, a number of misspelled names that have found their way into botanical literature. The inaccuracies are so numerous and the cita- tions so incomplete that only a trained bibliographer* could solve the many puzzles presented. Cornelia D. Niles in connection with her work on the bibliography of grasses, maintained in the form of a card catalogue in the Grass Herbarium, worked out the basis in literature of each of these new names. The botanical problems involved, the interpretation of descriptions and figures, were worked out by Agnes Chase, who is also respon- sible for the translation and summaries from the Advertisement, Introduction, and Principles.
