JJB 88 3 .Indd J. Jpn. Bot. 88: 166–175 (2013) New Combinations in North American Desmodium (Leguminosae: Tribe Desmodieae) Hiroyoshi OHASHI Herbarium, Botanical Garden, Tohoku University, Sendai, 980-0862 JAPAN E-mail: [email protected] (Accepted on May 11, 2013) Three species groups in Desmodium of North America: D. ciliare group, D. paniculatum group and D. procumbens group are revised for Flora of North America. Each of them is treated as a single species containing one or two varieties. The following four new combinations are published: D. marilandicum var. ciliare (Willd.) H. Ohashi, D. marilandicum var. lancifolium (Fernald & B. G. Schub.) H. Ohashi, D. paniculatum var. fernaldii (B. G. Schub.) H. Ohashi, and D. procumbens var. neomexicanum (A. Gray) H. Ohashi. Desmodium obtusum (Willd.) DC. is regarded to be a synonym of D. marilandicum var. lancifolium; D. glabellum (Michx.) DC. and D. perplexum B.G. Schub. to be synonyms of D. paniculatum; and D. procumbens var. exiguum (A. Gray) B. G. Schub. to be a synonym of D. procumbens var. procumbens. Key words: Desmodium, Fabaceae, Leguminosae, new combinations, North America. Recently, Desmodium of North America can at least identify it with the group.” Under has been the subject of much study, notably by this framework, Isely recognized D. ciliare Schubert (1940, 1950a, 1950b, 1970) and Isely (Willd.) DC., D. paniculatum (L.) DC. and D. (1983, 1990, 1998). “Desmodium traditionally procumbens (Mill.) Hitchc., along with each is considered a ‘difficult’ genus” (Isely 1990, p. of their related taxa, as species groups. The 163). Isely (1990) further stated that Desmodium difficulty in classifying these groups is, however, contains “groups of species whose taxonomy not satisfactorily solved by this approach. Taxa is presently ambiguous or among which the attributed to these groups appear to have been differentiation of kinds is unsatisfactory or recognized by over-weighting such variable overlapping. In such cases, confidently keying characters as type and degree of density of a plant to a name is often difficult. Thus, I indumentum on the stems and leaves and by the have borrowed a device from Flora Europaea size and shapes of the leaves.

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.

  • A Comparison of Native Versus Old-Field Vegetation in Upland Pinelands Managed with Frequent Fire, South Georgia, Usa
    A COMPARISON OF NATIVE VERSUS OLD-FIELD VEGETATION IN UPLAND PINELANDS MANAGED WITH FREQUENT FIRE, SOUTH GEORGIA, USA Thomas E. Ostertag1 and Kevin M. Robertson2 Tall Timbers Research Station, 13093 Henry Beadel Drive, Tallahassee, FL 32312, USA ABSTRACT Fire-maintained, herb-dominated upland pinelands of the southeastern U.S. Coastal Plain may be broadly divided into those that have arisen through secondary succession following abandonment of agriculture (old-field pinelands) and those that have never been plowed (native pinelands). The ability to distinguish these habitat types is important for setting conservation priorities by identifying natural areas for conservation and appropriate management and for assessing the ecological value and restoration potential for old-field pine forests managed with frequent fire. However, differences in species composition have rarely been quantified. The goals of this study were to characterize the species composition of native and old-field pineland ground cover, test the ability to distinguish communities of previously unknown disturbance history, and suggest indicator species for native versus old-field pinelands. Plant composition was surveyed in areas known to be native ground cover, those known to be old fields, and those with an uncertain disturbance history. Twelve permanent plots were established in each cover type and sampled in spring (April–May) and fall (October–November) in 2004 and 2005. Of the 232 species identified in the plots, 56 species were present only in native ground-cover plots, of which 17 species occurred in a sufficient number of plots to have a statistically significant binomial probability of occurring in native ground cover and might be considered indicator species.

After graduation from college, he moved to Eastern Oklahoma State College where he took a position as Instructor in Botany and Agronomy. In the course of conducting botany field trips and working with local residents on their plant problems, the author became increasingly interested in the flora of that area and of the State of Oklahoma. This led to an extensive study of the northern portion of the Oauchita Highlands with collections currently numbering approximately 4,200. The specimens have been processed according to standard herbarium procedures. The first set has been placed in the Herbarium of Oklahoma State University with the second set going to Eastern Oklahoma State College at Wilburton.
