  • "National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary."
    Intro 1996 National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands The Fish and Wildlife Service has prepared a National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary (1996 National List). The 1996 National List is a draft revision of the National List of Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1988 National Summary (Reed 1988) (1988 National List). The 1996 National List is provided to encourage additional public review and comments on the draft regional wetland indicator assignments. The 1996 National List reflects a significant amount of new information that has become available since 1988 on the wetland affinity of vascular plants. This new information has resulted from the extensive use of the 1988 National List in the field by individuals involved in wetland and other resource inventories, wetland identification and delineation, and wetland research. Interim Regional Interagency Review Panel (Regional Panel) changes in indicator status as well as additions and deletions to the 1988 National List were documented in Regional supplements. The National List was originally developed as an appendix to the Classification of Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the United States (Cowardin et al.1979) to aid in the consistent application of this classification system for wetlands in the field.. The 1996 National List also was developed to aid in determining the presence of hydrophytic vegetation in the Clean Water Act Section 404 wetland regulatory program and in the implementation of the swampbuster provisions of the Food Security Act. While not required by law or regulation, the Fish and Wildlife Service is making the 1996 National List available for review and comment.

  • Native Plants for Your Backyard
    U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Native Plants for Your Backyard Native plants of the Southeastern United States are more diverse in number and kind than in most other countries, prized for their beauty worldwide. Our native plants are an integral part of a healthy ecosystem, providing the energy that sustains our forests and wildlife, including important pollinators and migratory birds. By “growing native” you can help support native wildlife. This helps sustain the natural connections that have developed between plants and animals over thousands of years. Consider turning your lawn into a native garden. You’ll help the local environment and often use less water and spend less time and money maintaining your yard if the plants are properly planted. The plants listed are appealing to many species of wildlife and will look attractive in your yard. To maximize your success with these plants, match the right plants with the right site conditions (soil, pH, sun, and moisture). Check out the resources on the back of this factsheet for assistance or contact your local extension office for soil testing and more information about these plants.

Black-eyed Susan Habitat and Range: Meadows, fields, roadsides, Rudbeckia hirta L. clearings; most of U.S., southern Canada and into Aster or Daisy Family (Asteraceae) Mexico. Herbal Lore: According to Steven Foster and James Duke (Peterson Field Guides' Field Guide to Medicinal Plants: Eastern and Central North America), American Indians used the root tea to treat colds and expel worms and externally as a wash for swelling, body sores and snakebite. They report that the root juice was used for earaches. They also warn that some people's skin is sensitive to the touch of the plant. Similar Species: Three-lobed (or thin-leaved) coneflower (R. triloba) has a branched growth habit and its lowest leaves are usually three-lobed. (Note: Black-eyed Susan may be branching after it has been mowed.) Orange coneflower (R. fulgida) blooms in the Piedmont and mountains from late summer through fall. It has slightly smaller flower heads than black- eyed Susan. According to Maryland Native Plant Society President Cris Fleming, both species are on the watch list in Maryland and are unlikely to be seen. Blooming Time: June - October. Locations: Abundant in fields, meadows, clearings and roadsides throughout the state.

  • Flowering Plants of South Norwood Country Park
    Flowering Plants Of South Norwood Country Park Robert Spencer Introduction South Norwood Country Park relative to its size contains a wide range habitats and as a result a diverse range of plants can be found growing on site. Some of these plants are very conspicuous, growing in great abundance and filling the park with splashes of bright colour with a white period in early May largely as a result of the Cow Parsley, this is followed later in the year by a pink period consisting of mainly Willow herbs. Other plants to be observed are common easily recognisable flowers. However there are a great number of plants growing at South Norwood Country Park that are less well-known or harder to spot, and the casual observer would likely be surprised to learn that 363 species of flowering plants have so far been recorded growing in the park though this number includes invasive species and garden escapes. This report is an update of a report made in 2006, and though the site has changed in the intervening years the management and fundamental nature of the park remains the same. Some plants have diminished and some have flourished and the high level of diversity is still present. Many of these plants are important to other wildlife particularly in their relationship to invertebrate pollinators, and some of these important interactions are referenced in this report. With so many species on the plant list there is a restriction on how much information is given for each species, with some particularly rare or previously observed but now absent plants not included though they appear in the index at the back of the report including when they were last observed.

    Phylogenetic distribution of an endogenous strain K.L. Caudle and E.T. Gillock Department of Biological Sciences, of Dahlia mosaic virus in members of Asteraceae Fort Hays State University, Hays, KS INTRODUCTION OBJECTIVES & HYPOTHESES DISCUSSION Dahlia Mosaic Virus (DMV) is a double-stranded Determine the host range of DMV-D10 by sampling Asteraceae There was no phylogenetic relationship when DNA viral pathogen belonging to the family members including Dahlia variabilis determining absence or presence of DMV-D10 in Caulimoviridae (Pahalawatta et al., 2008). Symptoms • Cosmos bipinnatus and Dahlia variabilis belong to the Coreopsideae tribe samples. The DMV-D10 movement protein was associated with DMV include vein clearing in the in Asteraceae; therefore, we hypothesized DMV-D10 was most likely to present in Callistephus chinensis, which belongs to leaves (Figure 1a), flower breaking (Figure 1b), and the Astereae tribe, Centaurea cyanus, belonging to the stunted growth (Abdel-Salam et al., 2010). DMV is be present in these species compared to others based on phylogeny. Cardueae tribe, and Dahlia variabilis, belonging to most commonly observed in horticultural and wild • In contrast, we hypothesized members in the Astereae, Cardueae, and the Coreopsideae tribe. This indicates DMV-D10 or varieties of the genus Dahlia. Additionally, a new Tageteae tribe would be less likely to be infected with DMV-D10 based a related DMV virus was present in some samples, strain of this virus called DMV-D10 was first on phylogenetic relationship with Coreopsideae. but not all of them. Past studies indicate DMV-D10 Aster observed in Dahlia variabilis growing in Egypt spreads via vertical transmission from parent to offspring (Pahalawatta et al., 2008).

  • Using ITS Sequences Suggests Lability in Reproductive Characters
    MOLECULAR PHYLOGENETICS AND EVOLUTION Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution 33 (2004) 127–139 www.elsevier.com/locate/ympev Phylogeny of Coreopsideae (Asteraceae) using ITS sequences suggests lability in reproductive characters Rebecca T. Kimballa,*, Daniel J. Crawfordb a Department of Zoology, University of Florida, P.O. Box 118525, Gainesville, FL 32611-8525, USA b Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, The Natural History Museum and Biodiversity Research Center, University of Kansas, Lawrence, KS 66045-2106, USA Received 3 November 2003; revised 14 April 2004 Available online 7 July 2004 Abstract Relationships among the 21 genera within the tribe Coreopsideae (Asteraceae) remain poorly resolved despite phylogenetic stud- ies using morphological and anatomical traits. Recent molecular phylogenies have also indicated that some Coreopsideae genera are not monophyletic. We used internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences from representatives of 19 genera, as well as all major lin- eages in those genera that are not monophyletic, to examine phylogenetic relationships within this group. To examine the affects of alignment and method of analysis on our conclusions, we obtained alignments using five different parameters and analyzed all five alignments with distance, parsimony, and Bayesian methods. The method of analysis had a larger impact on relationships than did alignments, although different analytical methods gave very similar results. Although not all relationships could be resolved, a num- ber of well-supported lineages were found, some in conflict with earlier hypotheses. We did not find monophyly in Bidens, Coreopsis, and Coreocarpus, though other genera were monophyletic for the taxa we included. Morphological and anatomical traits which have been used previously to resolve phylogenetic relationships in this group were mapped onto the well-supported nodes of the ITS phy- logeny.
