    Guide to the Flora of the Carolinas, Virginia, and Georgia, Working Draft of 17 March 2004 -- LILIACEAE LILIACEAE de Jussieu 1789 (Lily Family) (also see AGAVACEAE, ALLIACEAE, ALSTROEMERIACEAE, AMARYLLIDACEAE, ASPARAGACEAE, COLCHICACEAE, HEMEROCALLIDACEAE, HOSTACEAE, HYACINTHACEAE, HYPOXIDACEAE, MELANTHIACEAE, NARTHECIACEAE, RUSCACEAE, SMILACACEAE, THEMIDACEAE, TOFIELDIACEAE) As here interpreted narrowly, the Liliaceae constitutes about 11 genera and 550 species, of the Northern Hemisphere. There has been much recent investigation and re-interpretation of evidence regarding the upper-level taxonomy of the Liliales, with strong suggestions that the broad Liliaceae recognized by Cronquist (1981) is artificial and polyphyletic. Cronquist (1993) himself concurs, at least to a degree: "we still await a comprehensive reorganization of the lilies into several families more comparable to other recognized families of angiosperms." Dahlgren & Clifford (1982) and Dahlgren, Clifford, & Yeo (1985) synthesized an early phase in the modern revolution of monocot taxonomy. Since then, additional research, especially molecular (Duvall et al. 1993, Chase et al. 1993, Bogler & Simpson 1995, and many others), has strongly validated the general lines (and many details) of Dahlgren's arrangement. The most recent synthesis (Kubitzki 1998a) is followed as the basis for familial and generic taxonomy of the lilies and their relatives (see summary below). References: Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (1998, 2003); Tamura in Kubitzki (1998a). Our “liliaceous” genera (members of orders placed in the Lilianae) are therefore divided as shown below, largely following Kubitzki (1998a) and some more recent molecular analyses. ALISMATALES TOFIELDIACEAE: Pleea, Tofieldia. LILIALES ALSTROEMERIACEAE: Alstroemeria COLCHICACEAE: Colchicum, Uvularia. LILIACEAE: Clintonia, Erythronium, Lilium, Medeola, Prosartes, Streptopus, Tricyrtis, Tulipa. MELANTHIACEAE: Amianthium, Anticlea, Chamaelirium, Helonias, Melanthium, Schoenocaulon, Stenanthium, Veratrum, Toxicoscordion, Trillium, Xerophyllum, Zigadenus.

ISSN 2153 733X ECOLOGICAL CHECKLIST OF THE MISSOURI FLORA FOR FLORISTIC QUALITY ASSESSMENT DOUGLAS LADD The Nature Conservancy 2800 S. 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. C values, physiognomy, and common names Table 2. Synonymy crosswalk Table 3.

    AN ANNOTATED CHECKLIST OF THE VASCULAR FLORA OF WASHINGTON COUNTY, MISSISSIPPI 1 Charles T. Bryson Daniel A. Skojac, Jr. USDA, ARS USDA, FS, Southern Region Crop Production Systems Research Unit Chattahoochee NF Stoneville, Mississippi 38776, U.S.A. 3941 Highway 76 Chatsworth, Georgia 30705, U.S.A. ABSTRACT Field explorations have yielded 271 species new to Washington County, Mississippi and Calandrinia ciliata (Ruiz & Pav.) DC. and Ruellia nudiflora (Engelm. & .A. Gray) Urban new to the state. An annotated list of 809 taxa for Washington County is provided and excludes 59 species that were reported from counties adjacent and included in the 1980 Washington County and environs flora, but have yet to be docu- mented from Washington County. RESUMEN Exploraciones de campo han dado como resultado 271 especies nuevas para Washington County, Mississippi y Calandrinia ciliata (Ruiz & Pav.) DC. y Ruellia nudiflora (Engelm. & .A. Gray) Urban nuevas para el estado. Se aporta una lista anotada de 809 taxa para Washington County y se excluyen 59 especies que estaban citadas de condados adyacentes e incluidas en la flora de 1980 de Washington County y alre- dedores, pero que no se han documentado aún para Washington County. INTRODUCTION The flora of Mississippi, especially the Yazoo-Mississippi River Alluvial Plain, is poorly reported (Bryson & Carter 1994; Skojac et al. 2007) compared to other physiographic regions of Mississippi and of adjacent states. Lowe’s Plants of Mississippi (1921) still remains the only effort at a comprehensive flora of the state. Several county floras have been compiled, mostly by graduate students at various universities; however, comprehen- sive floras are lacking for more than 80% of Mississippi’s 82 counties.

  • Update of TVA's Natural Resource Plan Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement
    Document Type: EIS-Administrative Record Index Field: Draft SEIS Project Name: Natural Resource Plan Project Number: 2009-60 UPDATE OF TVA’S NATURAL RESOURCE PLAN DRAFT SUPPLEMENTAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia Prepared by: TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY Knoxville, Tennessee May 2019 This page intentionally left blank Cover Sheet COVER SHEET Update of TVA’s Natural Resource Plan Proposed action: The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) has prepared this Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement to assess the potential environmental, social, and economic impacts associated with implementing an updated Natural Resource Plan. Type of document: Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement Lead agency: Tennessee Valley Authority To request information, contact: Matthew Higdon Tennessee Valley Authority 400 W. Summit Hill Drive WT-11B Knoxville, TN 37902 Phone: 865.632.8051 E-Mail: [email protected] Comments due date: July 8, 2019 Abstract: TVA proposes to make changes to the structure of and programs identified in its Natural Resource Plan (NRP), completed in 2011. TVA developed the NRP to guide its natural resource stewardship efforts. The existing NRP addresses TVA’s management of biological, cultural, and water resources; recreation; reservoir lands planning; and public engagement. The NRP also guides TVA in achieving the objectives of its Environmental Policy for a more systematic and integrated approach to natural resource stewardship. In the 2011 NRP, TVA committed to reviewing the NRP every five years and updating the plan to ensure it remains relevant and current. In 2016, as part of the update process, TVA staff began a holistic review of the NRP and determined that the 2011 NRP does not encompass all of the resource stewardship programs managed by TVA.
