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 Delairea odorata 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 weed risk assessment (WRA)—specifically, the PPQ WRA model (Koop et al., 2012)—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. Because the PPQ WRA model is geographically and climatically neutral, it can be used to evaluate the baseline invasive/weed potential of any plant species for the entire United States or for any area within it.

  • The Reproductive Biology, Natural Enemies and Biological Control of Delairea Odorata Lem
    The Reproductive Biology, Natural Enemies and Biological Control of Delairea odorata Lem. by Carol Ann Rolando Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in the School of Botany and Zoology, University of Natal, Pietermaritzburg, March 2000 ABSTRACT Delairea odorata Lem., an asteraceous perennial vine indigenous to southern Africa, has become naturalised and invasive in many subtropical regions including California, South Australia and Hawaii. Biological control offers a potential long term solution to the management of this species in exotic locations. This study analysed aspects ofthe biology ofD. odorata in its native environment to determine its suitability to classical biological control. To this end an examination of the reproductive biology and natural enemies of D. odorata was made. A study of the pyrrolizidine alkaloid profile was also conducted. Reproductive biology: Delairea odorata reproduces both sexually by seeds and asexually by stolons. The flowering season occurs over the autumn months from April to June. Results ofthe pollination trials indicate thatD. odorata is a cross compatible species and an obligate outbreeder. There is no specialised pollination system and the predorninant pollinators belong to the families Apidae, Syrphidae and Calliphoridae. Following pollination, numerous small achenes are produced. Laboratory trials indicate that these achenes germinate readily between 10 and 25 QC and, although germination occurs in both the light and dark, light clearly stimulates seed germination. Greenhouse trials conducted to determine the effect of light on growth and reproduction indicate that D. odorata is a shade tolerant species which shows plasticity in terms ofgrowth form and deployment ofbiomass in response to changes in light intensity.

  • Biological Control of Cape Ivy Project 2004 Annual
    Biological Control of Cape ivy Project 2004 Annual Research Report prepared by Joe Balciunas, Chris Mehelis, and Maxwell Chau, with contributions from Liamé van der Westhuizen and Stefan Neser Flowering Cape ivy overgrowing trees and native vegetation along California’s coast near Bolinas United States Department of Agriculture - Agricultural Research Service Western Regional Research Center - Exotic & Invasive Weed Research Unit 800 Buchanan St., Albany, California 94710 (510) 559-5975 FAX: (510) 559-5982 Executive Summary by Dr. Joe Balciunas This is our first attempt at an ‘electronic’ report, and most of you will receive our Annual Report for 2004 as PDF attachment to an email. We hope that this will make our report more easily accessible, since you may chose to store it on your hard disk. We made solid progress during 2004 towards our goal of completing our host range testing of our two most promising potential biological control agents for Cape ivy. We overcame a summertime ‘crash’ of our laboratory colonies, and by year’s end had strong colonies of both the gall fly, Parafreutreta regalis, and the stem-boring moth, Digitivalva delaireae. By the end of 2004, we had tested more than 80 species of plants, and neither of our candidate agents was able to complete development on anything other than their Cape ivy host. The single dark cloud has been the continuing downturn in external funds to support our Cape ivy research, especially that conducted by our cooperators in Pretoria, South Africa. While we have managed to maintain a small research effort there, our cooperators are no longer assisting us in our host range evaluations.

  • We Accidentally Found a Whole New Genus of Australian Daisies. You've Probably Seen Them on Your Bushwalks 25 September 2020, by Alexander Schmidt-Lebuhn
    We accidentally found a whole new genus of Australian daisies. You've probably seen them on your bushwalks 25 September 2020, by Alexander Schmidt-Lebuhn How it began It all started with a biocontrol researcher asking a plant systematist, who looks at the evolutionary history of plants, to help figure out the closest Australian native relatives of the weed, Cape ivy (Delairea odorata). Weeds like Cape ivy cause major damage to agriculture in Australia, displace native vegetation and require extensive management. Biological control (biocontrol) is one way to reduce their Credit: Alexander Schmidt-Lebuhn, Author provided impact. This means taking advantage of insects or fungi that attack a weed, generally after introducing them from the weed's home range.

  • 35 Oak Ecosystem Restoration on Santa Catalina Island, California
    35 CATALINA ISLAND’S INVASIVE PLANT MANAGEMENT PROGRAM, WITH AN EMPHASIS ON INVASION AND PROTECTION OF OAK ECOSYSTEMS John Knapp Native Range, Inc. (formerly the Catalina Island Conservancy’s Invasive Plant Program Manager) 4360 E. Main St., Suite A #478, Ventura, California 93003, USA, [email protected] ABSTRACT: Invasive species are considered one of the greatest threats to biodiversity and are the leading cause of species extinctions in island ecosystems; Catalina Island, California is no exception. The Catalina Island Conservancy, which owns and manages 88% of the 19,425-hectare island, has developed and implemented a comprehensive management program (Catalina Habitat Improvement and Restoration Program, CHIRP) to protect its unique ecosystems from priority invasive plant species. In 2003, an extensive island-wide invasive plant survey and analysis was conducted, and 76 non-native invasive plant species were mapped and prioritized for management action. Thirty-nine of these taxa were found to infest island scrub oak chaparral while nine invade island oak woodland. Not all 39 species that have invaded oak ecosystems are considered a serious threat to these systems, nor are they all being targeted. In 2004, the CHIRP program was initiated utilizing both a species-based and a site-based approach to prioritizing management actions, along with treatment along dispersal corridors, and prevention of new introductions. This combination of management approaches, based on extensive research data, has resulted in 43 priority invasive plant species being targeted for some type of management action: eradication (25 species), reduction (6 species), and control (12 species). Of the species being managed island-wide, 18 species are considered to be the most threatening to oak ecosystems.

  • Mini Data Sheet on Delairea Odorata (Asteraceae)
    EPPO, 2012 Mini data sheet on Delairea odorata (Asteraceae) Added in 2009 – Deleted in 2012 Reasons for deletion: Delairea odorata was added to the EPPO Alert List in 2009 and transferred to the List of Invasive Alien Plants in 2012. Why Delairea odorata (Asteraceae, Cape ivy, syn: Senecio mikanioides) is a perennial evergreen vine originating from South Africa which is used as an ornamental plant, particularly for groundcover. Within the EPPO region, its distribution is still limited. Because this plant has shown invasive behaviour in North America and in Australia and is of limited distribution in the EPPO region, it can be considered an emerging invader in Europe. Geographical distribution EPPO region: France, Ireland, Italy, Portugal (incl. Azores, Madeira), Spain (incl. Islas Canarias), United Kingdom. North America: USA (invasive) (California, Hawaii, Montana, Oregon). Africa: South Africa (native). Oceania: Australia (invasive) (New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria, Western Australia), Federal States of Micronesia, New Zealand (invasive). Note: the species is also recorded in North Africa, but no precise data could be found. There is a record of the species in Denmark, but its status is unknown. Morphology D. odorata is a fleshy, perennial, evergreen vine, woody at the base, the stem can reach 3 to 6 m long. Roots can be 90 cm deep in the ground. Leaves are green, glabrous, alternate, broadly deltate to “ivy-shaped”, 3-10 cm long, 3.6 cm wide with 3 to 10 lobes. Both leaves and stems store water. Flowers are yellow, grouped on terminal and axillary cymes, disk florets 4-5 mm long arranged in clusters, ray flowers absent.

  • San Diego County Invasive Ornamental Plant Guide
    SAN DIEGO COUNTY INVASIVE ORNAMENTAL PLANT GUIDE This Guide is produced and distributed by the San Diego Chapter of the American Society of the Landscape Architects (SD/ASLA) and the San Diego Chapter of the California Native Plant Society (CNPS) for the primary purpose of educating landscape professionals and the general-public regarding the cultivation, selection, use and management of non-native and/or invasive plants in San Diego regional landscapes. It is understood that this Guide is of special importance in the “urban interface”: areas where natural vegetation and man-made landscapes come into close contact. It is not the intent of the authors to add unnecessary constraints or to discourage the planting of a broad selection of native and non-native species where it is unlikely that their presence would have any effect upon indigenous plant populations or habitat. This Guide is provided solely as a reference document and is not intended for regulatory purposes. What is an Invasive Plant? An ‘Invasive Plant’ is a species that has become a weed pest: a plant that grows aggressively, spreads rampantly and displaces native plants. Invasive plants usually appear on disturbed ground and moist places, and the most aggressive can invade native areas. Invasive plants are generally undesirable because they can be difficult to control, can escape from cultivation, and can out-compete native plants. Invasive plant infestations can be environmentally destructive, costing government, resource agencies and private land owners millions of dollars each year to control and remove. Characteristics of Invasive Plants Invasive plants can be trees, shrubs, vines, groundcovers, grasses or aquatic plants.
