Brentwood Blvd. St. Louis, Missouri 63144 [email protected] JUSTIN R. THOMAS Institute of Botanical Training, LLC 111 County Road 3260 Salem, Missouri 65560 [email protected] ABSTRACT An annotated checklist of the 2,961 vascular taxa comprising the flora of Missouri is presented, with conservatism rankings for Floristic Quality Assessment. The list also provides standardized acronyms for each taxon and information on nativity, physiognomy, and wetness ratings. Annotated comments for selected taxa provide taxonomic, floristic, and ecological information, particularly for taxa not recognized in recent treatments of the Missouri flora. Synonymy crosswalks are provided for three references commonly used in Missouri. A discussion of the concept and application of Floristic Quality Assessment is presented. To accurately reflect ecological and taxonomic relationships, new combinations are validated for two distinct taxa, Dichanthelium ashei and D. werneri , and problems in application of infraspecific taxon names within Quercus shumardii are clarified. CONTENTS Introduction Species conservatism and floristic quality Application of Floristic Quality Assessment Checklist: Rationale and methods Nomenclature and taxonomic concepts Synonymy Acronyms Physiognomy, nativity, and wetness Summary of the Missouri flora Conclusion Annotated comments for checklist taxa Acknowledgements Literature Cited Ecological checklist of the Missouri flora Table 1.

Saunders Building, Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa, Ontario, KIA 0C6, Canada Acknowledgments This key benefitted substantially from information contained in the many publications, on the systematics of members of the family Brassicaceae (Cruciferae), by the late Dr. Reed C. Rollins, especially his comprehensive treatment, The Cruciferae of Continental North America, Stanford University Press, Stanford, California, in 1993. My own long interest in plants of this family was encouraged and fostered by my mentor and long-time friend Dr. Clarence Frankton. I am also indebted to Ardath Francis, who borrowed, from many herbaria, critical specimens for me to study, and who provided me with a printed manuscript. I also thank Stephen Darbyshire, William J.

  • Southern Garden History Plant Lists
    Southern Plant Lists Southern Garden History Society A Joint Project With The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation September 2000 1 INTRODUCTION Plants are the major component of any garden, and it is paramount to understanding the history of gardens and gardening to know the history of plants. For those interested in the garden history of the American south, the provenance of plants in our gardens is a continuing challenge. A number of years ago the Southern Garden History Society set out to create a ‘southern plant list’ featuring the dates of introduction of plants into horticulture in the South. This proved to be a daunting task, as the date of introduction of a plant into gardens along the eastern seaboard of the Middle Atlantic States was different than the date of introduction along the Gulf Coast, or the Southern Highlands. To complicate maters, a plant native to the Mississippi River valley might be brought in to a New Orleans gardens many years before it found its way into a Virginia garden. A more logical project seemed to be to assemble a broad array plant lists, with lists from each geographic region and across the spectrum of time. The project’s purpose is to bring together in one place a base of information, a data base, if you will, that will allow those interested in old gardens to determine the plants available and popular in the different regions at certain times. This manual is the fruition of a joint undertaking between the Southern Garden History Society and the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. In choosing lists to be included, I have been rather ruthless in expecting that the lists be specific to a place and a time.

Жуковского, 66 МОРФОЛОГИЯ ЛИСТЬЕВ ОБРАЗЦОВ ЛУННИКА, ПОЛУЧЕННЫХ В РЕЗУЛЬТАТЕ МЕЖВИДОВОЙ ГИБРИДИЗАЦИИ Представлены результаты изучения перспективных для декоративного использования образцов лунника, полученных от межвидовых скрещиваний Lunaria annua L. и L. rediviva L. В сравнительном аспекте по таким морфологическим признакам листа, как окраска, пузырчатость листовой пластинки, наличие зубцов по краю листовой пластинки, форма верхушки, наличие ушек, крылья листовой пластинки, длина и ширина листа, и окраска цветков, проанализи- рованы исходные виды и четыре образца поколения F3 комбинации скрещивания L. annua × L. rediviva. Для определе- ния степени выраженности исследуемых показателей использована разработанная нами балльная шкала оценки. Морфологические признаки листовой пластинки определяли у второй пары настоящих листьев после окончания их роста. Полученные данные обрабатывали с использованием однофакторного дисперсионного анализа. Выявлены су- щественные отличия исследованных образцов от исходных видов по большинству признаков листовой пластинки и окраске цветков. Два образца, отобранные из поколения F3, переданы для регистрации в Национальный центр гене- тических ресурсов Украины (г. Харьков). Ключевые слова: Lunaria, морфология, листовая пластинка, окраска цветка, озеленение. Среди растений, произрастающих на терри- ника ук раинских и российских производи- тории Украины, есть множество таких, кото- телей с
