Any disturbance for e.g. a fire incident can trigger a mass germination of soil stored seed. It is fast growing and forms dense thickets that could shade out and impede the growth of lower stratal species; it is a nitrogen fixer and can alter soil nutrient status. view this species on IUCN Red List Species Description Psoralea pinnata is a slender medium-sized fast growing shrub that can reach upto 5m in height. Its fine deep green linear leaves are deeply divided (about 4cm long). The linear leaf blades occur in crowded alterante spirals (0.8mm to 2mm wide) and tapering from the base. This plant blooms with white, lilac or blue pea shaped sweet smelling flowers in large clusters toward the end of the branches. Flowering is followed by the production of small pods, each of these contain a single dark brown seed [Description from EOL 2010]. The seeds are hard-coated (3.4 × 2.1mm); any disturbance for e.g.

  • James R. Allison Michael Wayne Morris Ashley N. Egan
    A NEW SPECIES OF PEDIOMELUM (FABACEAE) FROM THE LOWER PIEDMONT PLATEAU OF GEORGIA AND SOUTH CAROLINA James R. Allison Michael Wayne Morris P.O. Box 511 P.O. Box 2583 Rutledge, Georgia 30663, U.S.A. Gainsville, Georgia 30503, U.S.A. Ashley N. Egan Dept. of Microbiology and Molecular Biology Brigham Young University Provo, Utah 84602, U.S.A. ABSTRACT In the Piedmont Physiographic Province of the southeastern U.S.A., the endemic North American genus Pediomelum is known only from three dry, rocky, partly open sites near the Fall Line. The first collections were made in 1984, from Richland County, South Carolina; in 1996, from more than 100 km. to the west, in Columbia County, Georgia; and in 2005, from Lexington County, South Carolina, less than 20 km from the Richland County site. The two late-twentieth-century collections were referred, with reservations, to P. canescens, a species of sandy soils on the adjacent Atlantic Coastal Plain. This was the only known Pediomelum that resembled the Piedmont plants in having the peti- oles shorter than the petiolules and the only similarly erect and caulescent species east of the Missis- sippi River. Subsequent collections and study by the authors indicate that the Piedmont populations share a consistent morphology that is unique within the genus in combining subsessile leaves with congested, many-flowered inflorescences. These plants differ from P. canescens in additional ways (e.g., fruiting calyces gibbous and more narrowly campanulate, bracts conspicuously larger and broader, and leaflets more narrowly elliptic). The Piedmont plants also cannot be considered a sessile- leaved variant of any of the western species, and therefore they are described as Pediomelum piedmontanum Allison, Morris, & Egan, sp.

    GOING TO SUSTAINABLE Lowering Landscape and Garden Maintenance Including Better Ways to Water and How to Save Water © Joseph L. Seals, 2008, 2009 Copyright Joseph L. Seals, 2008, 2009 LOWERING MAINTENANCE REDUCING MAINTENANCE IN THE PLANNING STAGES Unfortunately, maintenance of the landscape is often assumed or overlooked during the planning and design phase of a project 1) Keep the planting design simple. The more elaborate the plan and planting -- Numbers of plants, variety of plants, -- less than simple lines and shapes -- … the more maintenance is required. For instance, lawn areas need to be plotted so that mowing, edging and periodic maintenance can be accomplished easily. -- Avoid tight angles and sharp corners. -- wide angles, gentle, sweeping curves, and straight lines are much easier to mow. -- Make certain each plant in the plan serves a purpose. 2) Select the right plant for the right place We all know that there are “sun plants” for sunny spots and “shade plants” for shady spots. And we don’t plant “sun plants” in shade nor do we plant “shade plants” in sun. And some of us know that there are drought-tolerant plants that like dry soil and little water -- and there are moisture-loving plants that like their feet wet. And we don’t mix those up either. Such “mix ups” result in everything from the obvious: outright death of the plant involved to a subtly stressed plant that shows various symptoms of “disease” -- whether it’s an actual organism or a physiological condition. Copyright Joseph L. Seals, 2008, 2009 Every time you push a plant beyond its natural adaptations, abilities, and tolerances, you invite problems and you invite higher maintenance When choosing the right plant, start with THE BIG PICTURE: We have a Mediterranean climate.

    Toll Free: (800) 438-7199 Fax: (805) 964-1329 Local: (805) 683-1561 Web: www.smgrowers.com This January saw powerful storms drop over 10 inches of rain in Santa Barbara. We are thankful for this abundant rainfall that has spared us another drought year and lessoned the threat of another horrible wildfire season. While we celebrate this reprieve, we still need to remember that we live in a mediterranean climate with hot dry summers and limited winter rainfall. California’s population, now at 36 million people and growing, is putting increasing demands on our limited water resources and creating higher urban population densities that push development further into wildland areas. This makes it increasingly important that we choose plants appropriate to our climate to conserve water and also design to minimize fire danger. At San Marcos Growers we continue to focus on plants that thrive in our climate without requiring regular irrigation, and have worked with the City of Santa Barbara Fire Department and other landscape professionals to develop the Santa Barbara Firescape Garden with concepts for fire-safe gardening. We encourage our customers to use our web based resources for information on the low water requirements of our plants, and our Firescape pages with links to sites that explore this concept further. We also encourage homeowners and landscape professionals to work with their municipalities, water districts and fire departments to create beautiful yet water thrifty and fire safe landscapes. This 2008 catalog has 135 new plants added this year for a total of over 1,500 different plants.
