  • List of Vascular Plants Endemic to Britain, Ireland and the Channel Islands 2020
    British & Irish Botany 2(3): 169-189, 2020 List of vascular plants endemic to Britain, Ireland and the Channel Islands 2020 Timothy C.G. Rich Cardiff, U.K. Corresponding author: Tim Rich: [email protected] This pdf constitutes the Version of Record published on 31st August 2020 Abstract A list of 804 plants endemic to Britain, Ireland and the Channel Islands is broken down by country. There are 659 taxa endemic to Britain, 20 to Ireland and three to the Channel Islands. There are 25 endemic sexual species and 26 sexual subspecies, the remainder are mostly critical apomictic taxa. Fifteen endemics (2%) are certainly or probably extinct in the wild. Keywords: England; Northern Ireland; Republic of Ireland; Scotland; Wales. Introduction This note provides a list of vascular plants endemic to Britain, Ireland and the Channel Islands, updating the lists in Rich et al. (1999), Dines (2008), Stroh et al. (2014) and Wyse Jackson et al. (2016). The list includes endemics of subspecific rank or above, but excludes infraspecific taxa of lower rank and hybrids (for the latter, see Stace et al., 2015). There are, of course, different taxonomic views on some of the taxa included. Nomenclature, taxonomic rank and endemic status follows Stace (2019), except for Hieracium (Sell & Murrell, 2006; McCosh & Rich, 2018), Ranunculus auricomus group (A. C. Leslie in Sell & Murrell, 2018), Rubus (Edees & Newton, 1988; Newton & Randall, 2004; Kurtto & Weber, 2009; Kurtto et al. 2010, and recent papers), Taraxacum (Dudman & Richards, 1997; Kirschner & Štepànek, 1998 and recent papers) and Ulmus (Sell & Murrell, 2018). Ulmus is included with some reservations, as many taxa are largely vegetative clones which may occasionally reproduce sexually and hence may not merit species status (cf.

    Servei Meteorològic de Catalunya INFORME DE LA PRECIPITACIÓ MESURADA A CATALUNYA DURANT L’ANY PLUVIOMÈTRIC 2004-2005 Àrea de Climatologia - Servei Meteorològic de Catalunya 1. INTRODUCCIÓ En parlar de precipitació, i quan es vol fer el balanç de reserves hídriques del territori, generalment es tria l’anomenat any pluviomètric o any hidrològic, que correspon al període comprès entre el dia 1 de setembre d’un any i el dia 31 d’agost de l’any següent. Aquest informe té com a objectiu fer un resum, a partir de les dades de les estacions automàtiques gestionades pel Servei Meteorològic de Catalunya, de la precipitació recollida al país entre el setembre de 2004 i l’agost de 2005, tant de les quantitats absolutes enregistrades com de la comparació d’aquestes quantitats amb els valors mitjans climàtics i dels episodis pluviomètrics més importants. Els valors mitjans climàtics s’han obtingut a partir de les dades de l’Atles Climàtic Digital de Catalunya (Ninyerola et al., 2001)1. Igualment, també s’aprofita aquest informe per fer un resum de la precipitació estacional enregistrada, entenent la tardor com els mesos de setembre, octubre i novembre, l’hivern com els mesos de desembre, gener i febrer, la primavera comprèn els mesos de març, abril i maig, i l’estiu correspon als mesos de juny, juliol i agost. Per acabar, cal esmentar que al llarg de tot l’informe s’expressen les quantitats de precipitació en mil·límetres (mm), unitat equivalent a litres per metre quadrat. 2. Precipitació acumulada durant l’any pluviomètric 2004-2005 A diferència de la tendència apuntada en els darrers quatre anys pluviomètrics, en els que els valors de pluja acumulada foren iguals o per damunt de la mitjana, enguany s’han enregistrat valors clarament inferiors.

Academic Editor: Reinhard Länger Received: 18 August 2015; Accepted: 27 May 2016; Published: 27 May 2016 Abstract: The value of root and rhizome anatomy for the taxonomic characterisation of 59 species classified into 34 genera and 12 subtribes from the Asteraceae tribes Cardueae and Cichorieae was assessed. In addition, the evolutionary history of anatomical characters was reconstructed using a nuclear ribosomal DNA sequence-based phylogeny of the Cichorieae. Taxa were selected with a focus on pharmaceutically relevant species. A binary decision tree was constructed and discriminant function analyses were performed to extract taxonomically relevant anatomical characters and to infer the separability of infratribal taxa, respectively. The binary decision tree distinguished 33 species and two subspecies, but only five of the genera (sampled for at least two species) by a unique combination of hierarchically arranged characters. Accessions were discriminated—except for one sample worthy of discussion—according to their subtribal affiliation in the discriminant function analyses (DFA). However, constantly expressed subtribe-specific characters were almost missing and even in combination, did not discriminate the subtribes.

The new diagnostic features of the genus Pietrosia justify its taxonomic recognition as separate from Andryala; those are the achene size (between 2.5 and 4.3 mm long), the deciduous pappus, the single-rimmed achene apex, the elongate exocarpic cells, the complete ring of mesocarpic sclerenchyma (up to 11-layered), and the number and localization of the vascular bundles (5 bundles, in the small ribs). Furthermore, our data may also serve to reconsider the species ecology and conservation strategies. Key words: carpology, Compositae, conservation, Eastern Carpathians, endangered species, endemism, Romania, sexual propagation Introduction Pietrosia laevitomentosa Nyár. in Sennikov (1999: 78) is still an enigmatic species despite being the subject of active scientific interest after its discovery fifty years ago. It was the only species assigned to the genus Andryala found so far north, as all the other species occur in the Mediterranean Region and Macaronesia (Lucas & Synge 1978). According to published reports, the plant has a very restricted distribution in an area of about 150 square meters on rocky slopes of the Pietrosul Bistriţei Mountain (Eastern Carpathians, Romania).

  • DANDELION Taraxacum Officinale ERADICATE
    OAK OPENINGS REGION BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES DANDELION Taraxacum officinale ERADICATE This Best Management Practice (BMP) document provides guidance for managing Dandelion in the Oak Openings Region of Northwest Ohio and Southeast Michigan. This BMP was developed by the Green Ribbon Initiative and its partners and uses available research and local experience to recommend environmentally safe control practices. INTRODUCTION AND IMPACTS— Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) HABITAT—Dandelion prefers full sun and moist, loamy soil but can is native to Eurasia and was likely introduced to North America many grow anywhere with 3.5-110” inches of annual precipitation, an an- times. The earliest record of Dandelion in North America comes from nual mean temperature of 40-80°F, and light. It is tolerant of salt, 1672, but it may have arrived earlier. It has been used in medicine, pollutants, thin soils, and high elevations. In the OOR Dandelion has food and beverages, and stock feed. Dandelion is now widespread been found on sand dunes, in and at the top of floodplains, near across the planet, including OH and MI. vernal pools and ponds, and along roads, ditches, and streams. While the Midwest Invasive Species Information Net- IDENTIFICATION—Habit: Perennial herb. work (MISIN) has no specific reports of Dandelion in or within 5 miles of the Oak Openings Region (OOR, green line), the USDA Plants Database reports Dan- D A delion in all 7 counties of the OOR and most neighboring counties (black stripes). Dan- delion is ubiquitous in the OOR. It has demonstrated the ability to establish and MI spread in healthy and disturbed habitats of OH T © Lynn Sosnoskie © Steven Baskauf © Chris Evans the OOR and both the wet nutrient rich soils of wet prairies and floodplains as well Leaves: Highly variable in shape, color and hairiness in response to as sandy dunes and oak savannas.
