Adelaide Bot. Gard. 1(1) 55-59 (1976) A SUMMARY OF THE FAMILY LYTHRACEAE IN THE NORTHERN TERRITORY (WITH ADDITIONAL COMMENTS ON AUSTRALIAN MATERIAL) by A. S. Mitchell Arid Zone Research Institute, Animal Industry and Agriculture Branch, Department of the Northern Territory, Alice Springs, N.T. 5750. Abstract This paper presents a synopsis of the nomenclature of the family Lythraceae in the Northern Territory. Keysto the genera and species have been prepared. The family Lythraceae has been neglected in Australian systematics, andas a result both the taxonomy and nomenclature are confused. Not since the early work of Koehne (1881, 1903) has there been any major revision of the family. Recent work has been restricted to regional floras (Polatschek and Rechinger 1968; Chamberlain 1972; Dar 1975), with Bentham's Flora (1886) being the most recenton the family in Australia. From a survey of the available literature the author has attempted to extract all the relevant names applicable to Australian material and to present them solelyas a survey of the nomenclature of the group. No type material has beenseen, and the only material examined was that lodged in the Department of the Northern Territory Herbariaat Alice Springs (NT) and Darwin (DNA).

  • Crapemyrtle Scientific Name: Lagerstroemia Indica Order
    Common Name: Crapemyrtle Scientific Name: Lagerstroemia indica Order: Myrtales Family: Lythraceae Description Crapemyrtle is a popular deciduous ornamental plant chosen for its thin, delicate, crinkled petals, which bloom quite largely in pinnacles and come in shades of white, purple, lilac, pink, and (true) red. The bark of this favorable woody plant has a smooth texture, and is the base of beautiful thick foliage composed of leaf blades measuring from 2-4 inches in length in opposite arrangement and pinnate venation. They are oval shaped and green during the summer and change to orange, red, and yellow in fall months. Crapemyrtle produces a small fruit, less than .5 inches, which is hard, tan/brown, and round in shape. Growth Habit Crapemyrtles can be used as a shrub or a small tree. They can come in a variety of sizes from 18 inches to around 30 feet. Hardiness Zone(s) Crapemyrtle can grow in the USDA zones 7 through 9. It is native to southern China, Japan, and Korea, but has been introduced mainly to the southern United States. They need plenty of heat to bloom, thus most start blooming between the middle of May and early June when the weather is consistently warm, flowering for 90-120 days. Culture Crapemyrtles require full sun, at least 8 hours of sun a day, to grow to their best potential. They are heat tolerant, and bloom well in the summer heat, and continue into fall. As well as being heat tolerant, they are also drought resistant, growing best in moist, well-drained soil. Overwatering is often detrimental to the crapemyrtle, especially when planted in the summer.

Agency Contact: Plant Epidemiology and Risk Analysis Laboratory Center for Plant Health Science and Technology Plant Protection and Quarantine Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service United States Department of Agriculture 1730 Varsity Drive, Suite 300 Raleigh, NC 27606 Weed Risk Assessment for Trapa natans Introduction Plant Protection and Quarantine (PPQ) regulates noxious weeds under the authority of the Plant Protection Act (7 U.S.C. § 7701-7786, 2000) and the Federal Seed Act (7 U.S.C. § 1581-1610, 1939). A noxious weed is defined as “any plant or plant product that can directly or indirectly injure or cause damage to crops (including nursery stock or plant products), livestock, poultry, or other interests of agriculture, irrigation, navigation, the natural resources of the United States, the public health, or the environment” (7 U.S.C. § 7701- 7786, 2000). We use the PPQ weed risk assessment (WRA) process (PPQ, 2015) to evaluate the risk potential of plants, including those newly detected in the United States, those proposed for import, and those emerging as weeds elsewhere in the world. The PPQ WRA process includes three analytical components that together describe the risk profile of a plant species (risk potential, uncertainty, and geographic potential; PPQ, 2015).

  • Appendix A. Species Summary Lythrum Salicaria L. Purple
    Appendix A. Species Summary Lythrum salicaria L. Purple loosestrife ofPurple lythrum Lythraceae (Loosestrife family) Description: Purple loosestrife is a robust, rhizomatous perennial herb with slightly tomentose, square stems 50-200 em tall (Figure I). Leaves are sessile, opposite or whorled, and have pubescent, oblong or lance-shaped blades 3-10 em long and 5-20 mm wide. The inflorescence is an elongated, terminal spike with 3 or more flowers arranged in a whorl at each leafy node. The flowers have 6 rose-purple petals 7-12 mm long inserted at the top of a 4-6 mm long, multi-nerved, greenish floral tube. Flowers may consist of three morphological types (all in the same inflorescence), differing in the relative length of the style and stigma. Flowers also have 12 anthers, each alternating in length (long and short). Fruits are small capsules contained within the floral tube (Cronquist et al. 1997~ Graham 1986). Similar Species: Lythrum alatum, an uncommon native species in Wyoming, has glabrate herbage, ovate to oblong leaves less than 4 em long, and flowers with 6 stamens arranged singly or in pairs at each node of the leafY inflorescence. Epilobium angustifolium has 4-petaled flowers and rounded stems. Liatris spp. have slender leaves, spike-like inflorescences of thistle-like flower heads, and typically occur in drier habitats (Dom 1992~ Graham 1986). Geographic Range: Purple loosestrife is native to Eurasia, but has been widely introduced in northeastern and central North America and the Pacific coast (Cronquist et al. 1997~ Thompson et al. 1987). In Wyoming, purple loosestrife is currently known from the vicinity ofLovell (Park County), Lusk (Niobrara County), and Cheyenne (Laramie County) (Rocky Mountain Herbarium records).

  • The Lythraceae of Ohio1
    346 THORNTON J. F. HOLE AND CHARLES E. REDMOND Vol. 70 THE LYTHRACEAE OF OHIO1 WILL H. BLACKWELL, JR. Department of Botany, Miami University, Oxford, Ohio 45056 ABSTRACT The distribution of Ohio representatives of the family Lythraceae was studied by examination of all specimens of this family in ten in-state and one out-of-state herbaria. Six species of the Lythraceae were found to be native to Ohio and are discussed herein: Decodon verticillatus, Rotala ramosior, Ammannia coccinea, Peplis diandra, Lythrum dacotanum, and Cuphea viscosissima. Three introduced taxa are also deemed worthy of inclusion: Lythrum hyssopifolia, L. salicaria, and Lagerstroemia indica. Lythrum hyssopifolia and Peplis diandra are rare in Ohio, each being known but from a single locality. Rotala ramosior and Ammannia coccinea are infrequent, the southern part of their Ohio distribution being directly related to the path of the Ohio and/or Scioto rivers. Though infrequent at present, Lythrum salicaria is spreading and is now locally abundant at several stations. Decodon verticillatus is rated in this treatment as frequent, but its distribution is scattered. It will certainly become less frequent if further destruc- tion of its natural marsh habitat occurs. Lythrum dacotanum and Cuphea viscosissima are of common occurrence in the state. Lythrum dacotanum is broadly distributed in moist, low-lying, prairie situations; Cuphea viscosissima occurs in moist or dry habitats and is the only representative of the Lythraceae common in the Appalachian uplands of southeastern Ohio. County distribution maps are presented for all species included except Lagerstroemia indica (crape-myrtle), which is only occasionally planted as far north as Ohio.

    Purple Loosestrife Lythrum salicaria L. Loosestrife Family (Lythraceae) DESCRIPTION Purple loosestrife is a stout, erect, perennial herb with a strongly developed taproot that grows in swamps, marshes, along riverbanks, and other wet, open areas. It is conspicuous from late June through September when the tall spikes of magenta-purple flowers are present. he plant ranges in height from 2 to 6 feet and from a distance, purple loosestrife may be confused with several other tall, native herbs with long red or purple spike-like inflorescences. Up close, however, it is easily distinguished from native plants. Stem - The four-angled stem can be glabrous to pubescent and rises from a semi-woody base. The perennial roots of purple loosestrife form a dense mass that can produce as many as 30-50 stems annually. Leaves - The simple, narrow to narrowly oblong leaves occur either in pairs (opposite) or a whorled configuration along the stems. Each 1-4, long leaf has a smooth edge and heart-shaped base that clasps the stem. The closest similar species is winged loosestrife (Lythrum alatum), a rare native plant that can be distinguished by its alternate leaf arrangement, e-cept for those lowest on the plant. Flo ers- The magenta-purple flowers have 5-. petals and are borne on narrow, upright spikes, 4–20 inches tall. Occasionally flowers will be white or light pink. The flowers open in July and continue to bloom through September or October. Fruit - The fruit is a capsule generally containing 100 or more, tiny, dark colored seeds. Seed capsules remain on the plants through the winter, disseminating seed on a continual basis.

Received: 1 September 2020; Accepted: 12 September 2020; Published: 16 September 2020 Abstract: Punica protopunica Balf. is one of only two species housed by the Punica genera. Punica protopunica. Balf., known as Socotran pomegranate, is an endemic, isolated species found only in Socotra archipelago in the northwestern Indian Ocean, and is considered to be the ancestor of pomegranate. This review stems from the fact that in many Punica granatum L. articles, Punica protopunica Balf. is mentioned, but just in an informative way, without mentioning their taxonomic and genetic relationship and their medicinal properties.
