  • Floerkea Proserpinacoides Willdenow False Mermaid-Weed
    New England Plant Conservation Program Floerkea proserpinacoides Willdenow False Mermaid-weed Conservation and Research Plan for New England Prepared by: William H. Moorhead III Consulting Botanist Litchfield, Connecticut and Elizabeth J. Farnsworth Senior Research Ecologist New England Wild Flower Society Framingham, Massachusetts For: New England Wild Flower Society 180 Hemenway Road Framingham, MA 01701 508/877-7630 e-mail: [email protected] • website: www.newfs.org Approved, Regional Advisory Council, December 2003 1 SUMMARY Floerkea proserpinacoides Willdenow, false mermaid-weed, is an herbaceous annual and the only member of the Limnanthaceae in New England. The species has a disjunct but widespread range throughout North America, with eastern and western segregates separated by the Great Plains. In the east, it ranges from Nova Scotia south to Louisiana and west to Minnesota and Missouri. In the west, it ranges from British Columbia to California, east to Utah and Colorado. Although regarded as Globally Secure (G5), national ranks of N? in Canada and the United States indicate some uncertainly about its true conservation status in North America. It is listed as rare (S1 or S2) in 20% of the states and provinces in which it occurs. Floerkea is known from only 11 sites total in New England: three historic sites in Vermont (where it is ranked SH), one historic population in Massachusetts (where it is ranked SX), and four extant and three historic localities in Connecticut (where it is ranked S1, Endangered). The Flora Conservanda: New England ranks it as a Division 2 (Regionally Rare) taxon. Floerkea inhabits open or forested floodplains, riverside seeps, and limestone cliffs in New England, and more generally moist alluvial soils, mesic forests, springy woods, and streamside meadows throughout its range.

  • Ranunculus Ficaria (Ranunculaceae) Naturalized in Texas: Update
    Nesom, G.L. 2015. Ranunculus ficaria (Ranunculaceae) naturalized in Texas: Update. Phytoneuron 2015-27: 1–7. Published 29 April 2015. ISSN 2153 733X RANUNCULUS FICARIA (RANUNCULACEAE) NATURALIZED IN TEXAS: UPDATE GUY L. NESOM 2925 Hartwood Drive Fort Worth, Texas 76109 [email protected] ABSTRACT In the 7 years since a report of its naturalization along a creek in Tarrant County, Texas, Ranunculus ficaria (now treated within the genus Ficaria as F. verna ) has increased in number of plants and coverage at that locality. The Texas plants produce axillary bulbils and flowers apparently are sterile, producing only unexpanded achenes. Photos show population structure and characteristics of the habitat. Ranunculus ficaria L. was earlier observed (Nesom 2008) to be naturalized along Overton Creek within Overton Park in Fort Worth, Texas. It was noted that "Thirty discrete plants, clearly naturalized, grow in an area of about 30 square feet ... A second population of five scattered plants occurs on the stream terrace about 300 yards downstream." In 2015, areal coverage of plants of Ranunculus ficaria has increased by about 6 times; the original larger population has expanded, additional colonies have formed downstream between 20 and 50 yards from the original, and an additional large population has arisen downstream of plants seen in 2008, increasing the linear extent of the total population to about 400 yards. Photos of subgroups of the Overton Park population (Figs. 1–7) show the characteristic habitat and dispersion of the plants –– all are growing in wet soil immediately beside the water or close by on the low, frequently flooded terrace.

Common name: Lesser celandine, fig buttercup, pilewort, figroot buttercup, figwort, bulbous buttercup, and small crowfoot Family: Ranunculaceae Legal Status: Proposed Class B noxious weed Images from left to right: 1. Plant growth with flowers, image: Catherine Herms, The Ohio State University, Bugwood.org; 2.Tuberous roots of Ficaria verna, image: Leslie J. Mehrhoff, University of Connecticut, Bugwood.org; 3. Close up of flower, image: Leslie J. Mehrhoff, University of Connecticut, Bugwood.org; 4. Bulbils in leaf axils, image: Leslie J. Mehrhoff, University of Connecticut, Bugwood.org. Description and Variation: As Post et al. (2009) outline, North American treatments of Ficaria verna did not include subspecies or only included one while European treatments include five subspecies: subsp. ficariiformis, subsp. chrysocephalus, subsp. calthifolius, subsp. ficaria, subsp. bulbilifer. Through a review of herbarium specimens, Post et al. (2009) determined that all five subspecies existed here in the United States. Sell (1994) provides descriptions of all five subspecies. Whittemore (1997) states that the species is highly variable and that the different forms intergrade extensively and varieties are often impossible to distinguish. Listing Ficaria verna as a Class C noxious weed includes all subspecies of F. verna and any cultivars of the species and subspecies. Overall Habit: Ficaria verna is a highly variable, glabrous perennial with tuberous roots.

Picture courtesy: Les Mehrhoff, University of Connecticut (left), and David L. Clement, University of Maryland (right), Bugwood.org. US introduction and distribution: Lesser celandine also known as fig buttercup is a perennial herb native to Europe, temperate Asia, and northern Africa. It was introduced into North America from Europe for ornamental use. The earliest record of its presence in the Unites States dates to 1867 from Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania. Historically, lesser celandine has been used as a medicinal plant for treatment of hemorrhoids and scurvy due to high vitamin C content of the young leaves. Five subspecies are known to exist in the United States (Post et al 2009). Of these, Ficaria verna or Ranunculus ficaria subsp. calthifolius has the widest distribution and R. ficaria subsp. chrysocephalus has the most limited distribution. Currently, lesser celandine is 1 present throughout the northeastern United States and west to Missouri, and in the Pacific Northwest. (EDDMaps 2020). Lesser Celandine US distribution (Map: EDDMapS.

Agency Contact: Plant Epidemiology and Risk Analysis Laboratory Center for Plant Health Science and Technology Plant Protection and Quarantine Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service United States Department of Agriculture 1730 Varsity Drive, Suite 300 Raleigh, NC 27606 Weed Risk Assessment for Ficaria verna Huds Introduction Plant Protection and Quarantine (PPQ) regulates noxious weeds under the authority of the Plant Protection Act (7 U.S.C. § 7701-7786, 2000) and the Federal Seed Act (7 U.S.C. § 1581-1610, 1939). A noxious weed is defined as “any plant or plant product that can directly or indirectly injure or cause damage to crops (including nursery stock or plant products), livestock, poultry, or other interests of agriculture, irrigation, navigation, the natural resources of the United States, the public health, or the environment” (7 U.S.C. § 7701-7786, 2000). We use the PPQ weed risk assessment (WRA) process (PPQ, 2015) to evaluate the risk potential of plants, including those newly detected in the United States, those proposed for import, and those emerging as weeds elsewhere in the world. The PPQ WRA process includes three analytical components that together describe the risk profile of a plant species (risk potential, uncertainty, and geographic potential; PPQ, 2015).

  • Lesser Celandine
    FACT SHEET: LESSER CELANDINE Lesser Celandine Ranunculus ficaria L. Buttercup family (Ranunculaceae) NATIVE RANGE Europe DESCRIPTION Lesser celandine, also known as fig buttercup, is an herbaceous, perennial plant. Plants have a basal rosette of dark green, shiny, stalked leaves that are kidney- to heart-shaped. The flowers open in March and April, have eight glossy, butter-yellow petals, and are borne singly on delicate stalks that rise above the leaves. Pale-colored bulblets are produced along the stems of the above-ground portions of the plant, but are not apparent until late in the flowering period. When in bloom, large infestations of lesser celandine appear as a green carpet with yellow dots, spreading across the forest floor. There are many varieties of lesser celandine including a double-flowered form with many crowded petals and dark green leaves mottled with silvery markings. NOTE: Lesser celandine closely resembles marsh marigold (Caltha palustris), a native wetland plant that occurs in the eastern United States. Marsh marigold is a robust plant with glossy, rounded or kidney- shaped leaves and flowers on stalks that are 8 in (20.3 cm) or more in height and consist of five to nine deep yellow "petals" (actually sepals). Marsh marigold does not produce tubers or bulblets, nor does it form a continuous carpet of growth. Extreme care should be taken to correctly identify lesser celandine before undertaking any control measures to avoid impacts to this plant. ECOLOGICAL THREAT Lesser celandine is an exotic spring ephemeral and a vigorous growing groundcover that forms large, dense patches on the forest floor, displacing and preventing native plants from co-occurring.

  • New York City Ecoflora
    New York City EcoFlora Guide to Lesser Celadine (Ficaria verna Huds.) of New York City Ranunculaceae, Buttercup family Description: Fleshy, perennial herb from cluster of tuberous roots, the stems upright or sprawling, with 1–5 shortened or elongate internodes. Leaves on long petioles; blades kidney-shaped or triangular, lustrous, sometimes tinged purple in center, the bases cordate or sagittate, the margins smooth or sinuate, the apices obtuse or rounded; bulbils sometimes produced in leaf axils late in season. Flowers solitary, terminating long pedicels; sepals usually 3, green and pouched at the base; petals 8–12, bright yellow, fading to white; stamens numerous; ovaries distinct, styles absent. Fruit (when produced) a hemispheric cluster of carpels; achenes beakless, narrowed at the base, smooth, glandular (not seen in NYC). Where found: Native to Europe, western Asia and North Africa. Introduced to North America and now widespread from Nova Scotia to Texas and the Pacific Northwest. The species flourishes in floodplains, rich moist woods, lawns and gardens, especially in sandy soil; will not grow in very dry soil or permanently waterlogged soil. Conservation Status: Classified as Invasive in several states; prohibited in New York and Massachusetts, banned in Connecticut. Natural History: In their native range, the plants are entomophilous and visited by Beetles, Flies, Bees and Wasps and Butterflies and self-fertile in the absence of visitors (Taylor & Markham 1978). Little or nothing is known about insect visitors and potential pollination in North America. In its native range, Ficaria verna is a host to Rust species in the genus Uromyces, esp. Uromyces ficariae and the Leaf Spot Fungus Septoria ficariae (see GLOBI link below).
