Bloodroot (Sanguinaria Canadensis) • FACU Plant Family: Poppy (Papaveraceae)
BWSR Featured Plant Statewide Wetland Indicator Status: • FACU Name: Bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis) Plant Family: Poppy (Papaveraceae) Emerging as early as March from last fall’s bed of leaves, bloodroot is one of the first signs of spring across Minnesota. Named for the red sap in its roots, it was once used as a dye by Native American artists and in the natural dying of yarn and fabrics. Roots and rhizomes are toxic to touch, so should be handled with gloves and no part of the plant should be ingested. A single flowering stem grows from the ground, encircled by a single 3-5” wide leaf. Typically found in wooded areas, flowers require some sun to bloom and must do so before towering trees sprout leaves and shade the forest floor. Once bloomed, leaves will unfurl and the fragrant flowers lasts only 1-2 days, closing at night – traits typical to the poppy family of plants. Leaves will persist throughout the growing season. Identification Leaves are basal only (growing from the root and not from stems). They are Bee on bloodroot flower oval to round in outline with 5-9 major lobes and several minor lobes. The Photo Amy Workman leaf is smooth with a radiating network of veins. The greyish-blue green leaves, with a whitish green underside, can grow from 3-12” tall and 3-5” across. The white flowers grow from reddish to green flower stalks and measure 1 ½-3” across and typically have 8-12 petals and many dark yellow- tipped stamens. Double flowers sometimes occur. Range Bloodroot is native north to Nova Scotia and south to Florida, from eastern United States to the Great Plains region. -

Vascular Flora (Appendix 3) Methods and Materials To compile a thorough vascular flora survey, several examples of different plant communities at numerous sites were visited and sampled during the study. Approximately 45 minutes was spent documenting community structure at each site. Lastly, all habitats, ecological systems, and plant associations found within the property boundaries were defined based on floristic content, soil characteristics (soil maps) and other abiotic factors.

Hepatica Display at the Chelsea Flower Show
Part of the Ashwood Nurseries’ Hepatica display at the Chelsea Flower Show 50 Rock Garden Quarterly Vol. 76 (1) A Journey Up the Rocky Road of Hepatica GLENN SHAPIRO HEPATICAS ARE ONE of the most stunningly beautiful early spring flowers, coming in a spectacular range of colors. A snow melt plant of mountain woodlands, hepaticas often grow on the side of village footpaths of local communities in every continent of the Northern Hemisphere, but sadly not in England or the rest of the United Kingdom. Perhaps that is one reason why I love and appreciate them all so much and decided to dedicate myself to growing them. Recently, hepaticas gained a huge boost to their popularity since Ashwood Nurseries won not only a gold medal but the ‘Diamond Jubilee Award,’ the very top award in the Floral Marquee, for their exhibit at Chelsea Flower Show in May 2016. This was the first, and possibly the last, time that hepaticas have been exhibited at Chelsea. This award was an extremely well-deserved appreciation of the huge amount of work and skill required to exhibit perfect early-spring flowering mountain plants out of season, something those of us who were lucky enough to see will never forget. The display was the incarnation of a lifelong dream of the nursery’s owner, John Massey, our doyen of Hepatica, and a wonderful source of help and inspiration to me. Hepatica (named for the liver-shaped leaves, once thought to be of medicinal value for liver diseases) is a member of my favorite plant family Ranunculaceae, the buttercups. -

The Botanical Pursuits of John Samples, Pioneer Ohio Plant Collector
THE OHIO JOURNAL OF SCIENCE Vol. 66 JANUARY, 1966 No. 1 THE BOTANICAL PURSUITS OP JOHN SAMPLES, PIONEER OHIO PLANT COLLECTOR (1836-1840)1-2 RONALD L. STUCKEY3 Department of Botany, The University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan ABSTRACT From 1836 to 1840, John Samples, an Urbana, Ohio, school teacher and self-taught botanist, assembled one of the earliest collections of vascular plants from southwestern Ohio. Today his collection is preserved in the University of Michigan Herbarium. Of Samples' personal life, little is known except of his teaching. He conducted a pri- vate school in Urbana from 1833-1838 and taught briefly in Cincinnati in 1839. More is known of his botanical studies since he corresponded with John Torrey and Charles W. Short, two well-known botanists of the day. From these letters we learn that without the aid of "an instructor or anything indeed" he began his herbarium in the spring of 1836. The record of his botanical work ends abruptly in June of 1840. Cedar Swamp, the Mad River and its tributaries, Wisham's Pond, Dougan Prairie, and the "barrens" were among his favorite collecting sites in Champaign County. Here he not only secured most of the common plants of the region, but also some plants which have either never or rarely been collected in the area since. He also gathered plants in Hamilton, Logan, Madison, Miami, and Scioto counties. Plants from his friends' gardens indicate that he had an interest in gardening. In this study, 490 of his specimens have been located. A list of these plants with his original notes serves to document the natural flora of the Mad River valley as it was known in his day. -
Vascular Flora of The
VASCULAR FLORA OF THE UPPER ETOWAH RIVER WATERSHED, GEORGIA by LISA MARIE KRUSE (Under the Direction of DAVID E. GIANNASI) ABSTRACT The Etowah River Basin in North Georgia is a biologically diverse Southern Appalachian River system, threatened by regional population growth. This is a two-part botanical study in the Upper Etowah watershed. The primary component is a survey of vascular flora. Habitats include riparian zones, lowland forest, tributary drainages, bluffs, and uplands. A total of 662 taxa were inventoried, and seventeen reference communities were described and mapped. Small streams, remote public land, and forested private land are important for plant conservation in this watershed. In the second component, cumulative plant species richness was sampled across six floodplain sites to estimate optimal widths for riparian buffer zones. To include 90% of floodplain species in a buffer, 60-75% of the floodplain width must be protected, depending on the stream size. Soil moisture influences species richness, and is dependent on upland water sources. An optimal buffer would protect hydrologic connections between floodplains and uplands.
