Comandra Blister Rust Mary W
ARIZONA COOPERATIVE E TENSION AZ1310 May, 2009 Comandra Blister Rust Mary W. Olsen Comandra blister rust is a native disease in Arizona on ponderosa pine. It also occurs on Mondell pine, a pine species introduced for landscapes and Christmas tree production in Arizona. Comandra blister rust can cause death of ponderosa saplings, but it is not an important disease of mature ponderosa trees. However, infections kill Mondell pine, and they should not be planted within a mile of Comandra. The alternate host for the rust is Comandra pallida, for which the disease is named. Comandra pallida, commonly called bastard toadflax, is a small herbaceous perennial plant found in close association with oak. It has small light pink flowers in terminal clusters and nutlike fruit. It is found throughout Arizona at elevations of 4,000- 8,000 ft. Pathogen: Comandra blister rust, Cronartium comandrae Hosts: Pinus eldarica (Mondell pine, Afghan pine), Pinus ponderosa (ponderosa pine) and Comandra pallida, bastard toadflax Symptoms/signs: Comandra blister rust on Mondell pine. On Mondell pine, Comandra blister rust causes branch dieback and death of trees of all ages. Swollen areas produced on the alternate host, Comandra. These are develop in branches and trunks, and the bark and delicate spores that can travel in air currents only about underlying sapwood die. On pine, orange “blisters” one mile. During the first year, the fungus becomes develop on trunks and branches as the bark splits and established in pine bark, and swollen areas with fruiting ruptures. Infections on Comandra, the alternate host, structures (spermagonia) develop in branches and appear as orange or rusty colored pustules on leaves trunks. -

Evaluating the Monophyly and Biogeography of Cryptantha (Boraginaceae)
Systematic Botany (2018), 43(1): pp. 53–76 © Copyright 2018 by the American Society of Plant Taxonomists DOI 10.1600/036364418X696978 Date of publication April 18, 2018 Evaluating the Monophyly and Biogeography of Cryptantha (Boraginaceae) Makenzie E. Mabry1,2 and Michael G. Simpson1 1Department of Biology, San Diego State University, San Diego, California 92182, U. S. A. 2Current address: Division of Biological Sciences and Bond Life Sciences Center, University of Missouri, Columbia, Missouri 65211, U. S. A. Authors for correspondence ([email protected]; [email protected]) Abstract—Cryptantha, an herbaceous plant genus of the Boraginaceae, subtribe Amsinckiinae, has an American amphitropical disjunct distri- bution, found in western North America and western South America, but not in the intervening tropics. In a previous study, Cryptantha was found to be polyphyletic and was split into five genera, including a weakly supported, potentially non-monophyletic Cryptantha s. s. In this and subsequent studies of the Amsinckiinae, interrelationships within Cryptantha were generally not strongly supported and sample size was generally low. Here we analyze a greatly increased sampling of Cryptantha taxa using high-throughput, genome skimming data, in which we obtained the complete ribosomal cistron, the nearly complete chloroplast genome, and twenty-three mitochondrial genes. Our analyses have allowed for inference of clades within this complex with strong support. The occurrence of a non-monophyletic Cryptantha is confirmed, with three major clades obtained, termed here the Johnstonella/Albidae clade, the Maritimae clade, and a large Cryptantha core clade, each strongly supported as monophyletic. From these phylogenomic analyses, we assess the classification, character evolution, and phylogeographic history that elucidates the current amphitropical distribution of the group. -

Fdn22 Northern Dry-Bedrock Pine (Oak) Woodland *Spinulose Shield Fern Or Glandular Wood Fern ( Dryopteris Carthusiana Or D
FIRE-DEPENDENT FOREST/WOODLAND SYSTEM FDn22 Northern Floristic Region Northern Dry-Bedrock Pine (Oak) Woodland Dry pine or oak woodlands on shallow, excessively drained, loamy soils on bedrock ridges and hillsides or on rock ledges and terraces adjacent to rivers. Crown and surface fires were common historically. Vegetation Structure & Composition Description is based on summary of vegetation data from 47 plots (relevés). Ground-layer cover of forbs and grami- noids typically ranges from 25-75%. The most common vascular plants are Canada mayflower (Maianthemum canadense), wild sarsaparilla (Aralia nudicaulis), large-leaved aster (Aster macrophyllus), poverty grass (Danthonia spicata), wintergreen (Gaultheria procumbens), and bracken (Pteridium aqui- linum). Lichen- and moss-covered bedrock and boulders typically make up at least 25% of the ground layer. Shrub layer is typically dominated by deciduous species, usually with patchy to interrupted cover (25-75%). Lowbush blue- berry (Vaccinium angustifolium), juneberries (Amelanchier spp.), red maple saplings, and bush honeysuckle (Diervilla lonicera) are the most common species in the shrub layer. Subcanopy is usually absent, but when present, red maple and paper birch are frequent components. Canopy is composed of conifers, hardwoods, or conifers mixed with hardwoods, and is usually patchy (25-50% cover), with openings in areas of exposed bedrock or boulders. Red pine and white pine are dominant on many sites. On other sites, jack pine or northern pin oak are dominant. In mixed forests, conifers often form a supercanopy above hardwood species. Paper birch is often present in the hardwood canopy. Landscape Setting & Soils Glacially scoured bedrock—Common. Landscape is hummocky to rugged. Parent material is non-calcareous drift, usually less than 20in (50cm) deep over bedrock. -
Dwarf Rattlesnake-Plantain & Endangered Species Goodyera Repens (L.) R
Natural Heritage Dwarf Rattlesnake-plantain & Endangered Species Goodyera repens (L.) R. Br. Program www.mass.gov/nhesp State Status: Endangered Massachusetts Division of Fisheries & Wildlife Federal Status: None DESCRIPTION: Dwarf Rattlesnake-plantain is a small white orchid (family Orchidaceae) of shady conifer or mixed hardwood-conifer forests. The striking dark green leaves, which are variegated with white or pale green markings along the veins, are much more conspicuous than the small white flowers. The leaves are evergreen, oval-shaped, about 2.5 cm (1 inch) long, and arranged in a dense basal rosette. The flower stalks are leafless, grow singly from the centers of the rosettes, and are usually about 15 cm (6 inches) tall. Numerous small flowers about 4 mm long are arranged in a loose spiral around the stem but are typically twisted to the side such that on most plants the spikes of flowers appear one-sided. Plants spread by underground horizontal stems and are often found growing in small clonal patches of several plants. AIDS TO IDENTIFICATION: Identification of Dwarf Rattlesnake-plantain requires the evaluation of several characters, and careful, precise measurements. Plants with the following characteristics can be identified as Dwarf Rattlesnake-plantain with a high degree of confidence, but some plants will fall somewhat outside Dwarf Rattlesnake-plantain showing the evergreen leaves patterned these conservative specifications and will need further around the midvein and the leafless flower stalk with a one-sided appearing loose spiral of flowers. The insets show the enlarged investigation (see Similar Species below). This species individual flower with its pronounced pouch and the round rostellum blooms in midsummer. -
Taxonomic Key to the Saskatchewan Cryptantha Sarah Vinge-Mazer (Saskatchewan Conservation Data Centre) on Behalf of the Botanical Assessment Working Group
Taxonomic Key to the Saskatchewan Cryptantha Sarah Vinge-Mazer (Saskatchewan Conservation Data Centre) on behalf of the Botanical Assessment Working Group Introduction The Botanical Assessment Working Group has been working on placing Saskatchewan’s two perennial Cryptantha species since around 2011, following many questions and confusion from the local botanical community. The use of the name Cryptantha macounii was the source of much of the confusion, for which an explanation is now provided. The name Cryptantha macounii (=Oreocarya macounii) is a true synonym for Cryptantha celosioides (see Simpson). In Saskatchewan (and apparently Montana, see Lesica 2012) this name has instead been applied to Cryptantha spiculifera material. Furthering the confusion, the name Cryptantha nubigena has been applied to both C. spiculifera and C. celosioides in Saskatchewan and appears regularly in older taxonomic keys. The name C. macounii has to be maintained for C. spiculifera material in Sask. for now until the SKCDC can update its database with the name. C. spiculifera has been included as a synonym for C. macounii in the SKCDC vascular plant species list. This key was compiled from several sources and was written to clarify the placement of the Saskatchewan Cryptantha species and serve as interim information until the Flora of North America (FNA) on Boraginaceae is published. It is accurate to the best of our knowledge. Notes • Our two perennial species are retained in Cryptantha in this key but are expected to be moved under the genus Oreocarya in the FNA treatment (see Simpson) • The Manual of Montana Vascular Plants (Lesica 2012) provides species descriptions for all species that occur in Sask. -
CHROMOSOME NUMBERS in COMPOSITAE. IV. Ambrosieael
Amer, Jour. Bot. 51(4): 419-424.1964. CHROMOSOME NUMBERS IN COMPOSITAE. IV. AMBROSIEAEl WILLARD W. PAYNE, PETER H. RAVEN AND DONALD W. KYHOS Department of Botany, The University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan and Division of Systematic Biology, Stanford University, Stanford, California ABSTRACT New chromosome observations are reported for 30 species and varieties from 4 genera of Am brosieae: Ambrosia (including Franseria), Dicoria, Humenoclea and Iva. Neither polyploidy nor aneuploidy is known in the genera Dicorea, Hymenoclea or Xanthium. Aneuplcid reduction appears to have played a role in the genome evolution of several species of Iva and Ambrosia. Polyploid species occur in both Iva and Ambrosia and polyploid series exist for at least 5 species or species aggregates of the latter. All available evidence indicates that the primitive chromosome number for the tribe is x = 18, differentiation and speciation having occurred at this level, which is here termed diploid. The group, however, must ultimately have been of polyploid origin from forms with z = 9. THIS is the fourth in a recent series of papers (Payne, 1963). For the present, therefore, we have dealing with chromosome numbers in various deemed it the best course to recognize the group tribes of the Compositae. Materials and methods as a distinct tribe, the Ambrosieae, a treatment are generally those discussed in earlier contribu which follows the precedents of Cassini (1834) and tions to this series, the most recent of which is Delpino (1871), and which agrees in general Ornduff et al. (1963). Procedural details have meaning with the remarks or treatments of varied somewhat since work was carried out Bentham (1873), Small (1913), Rydberg (1922) independently by the various workers.
