Chapter Four: Landscaping with Native Plants a Gardener’S Guide for Missouri Landscaping with Native Plants a Gardener’S Guide for Missouri
Chapter Four: Landscaping with Native Plants A Gardener’s Guide for Missouri Landscaping with Native Plants A Gardener’s Guide for Missouri Introduction Gardening with native plants is becoming the norm rather than the exception in Missouri. The benefits of native landscaping are fueling a gardening movement that says “no” to pesticides and fertilizers and “yes” to biodiversity and creating more sustainable landscapes. Novice and professional gardeners are turning to native landscaping to reduce mainte- nance and promote plant and wildlife conservation. This manual will show you how to use native plants to cre- ate and maintain diverse and beauti- ful spaces. It describes new ways to garden lightly on the earth. Chapter Four: Landscaping with Native Plants provides tools garden- ers need to create and maintain suc- cessful native plant gardens. The information included here provides practical tips and details to ensure successful low-maintenance land- scapes. The previous three chap- ters include Reconstructing Tallgrass Prairies, Rain Gardening, and Native landscapes in the Whitmire Wildflower Garden, Shaw Nature Reserve.

The Herbaceous Vascular Plants of Blackacre Preserve a Preliminary List II Additions for 2011 Season
The Herbaceous Vascular Plants of Blackacre Preserve A Preliminary List II Additions for 2011 Season December 8, 2011 Submitted to: Kentucky State Nature Preserves Commission Submitted by: William E. Thomas Herbarium Indiana University Southeast Photo: Purple Rocket by Richard Lyons 1 Scope The goal of this survey was to compile a rough list of herbaceous vascular plant species on the below described tract. The survey was conducted from July 11, 2010 through the end of the growing season in 2011. This report is the second of the survey and augments the first report of December 2010 by adding many of the spring ephemerals which were missed due to the late start in the 2010 season. Any extensive populations of invasive alien species were noted as well. Locale Description The Blackacre Preserve website states that the property consists of 170 acres in eastern Jefferson County Kentucky. It is the authors understanding that some additional acreage (size?) was appended to the southern border of the original 170 acre tract. The property is located at 3200 Tucker Station Rd. The tract is bordered on all sides by housing and urban areas; a railroad track runs along the north border. The terrain is of mostly gentle slopes with some wooded areas and open fields formerly used for pasture or crops. There are several ponds on the property; a limestone glade area constitutes the northeast corner of the tract. A small creek flows east to west across the tract north of the center. There are numerous foot trails, some designated and some rogue. An old section of Mann’s Lick road runs northward about midway in the tract. -
Asteraceae – Aster Family
ASTERACEAE – ASTER FAMILY Plant: herbs (annual or perennial), some shrubs, rarely vines or trees. Stem: Root: Often with tubers, rhizomes, stolons, or fleshy roots Leaves: mostly simple, some compound, alternate or opposite, rarely whorled. Flowers: flower head supported by an involucre (whorl of green bracts or phyllaries); each head composed of small flowers (composite) of flat ray-like (ligulate) flowers on the outside (ray flowers) and central tube-like flowers (disk flowers) – some species may have only one or the other. Calyx absent or modified into hairs, bristles, scales or a crown (pappus); 5 stamens (syngenesious -united by anthers); 5 united petals (sympetalous), receptacle may also have hairs or bristles. Both pappus and receptacle hairs/bristles may be used in ID. Fruit: achene (small, one-seeded, inferior ovule, 2 carpels, hard shell fruit) often with persisting crowned pappus which helps with seed dispersal. Other: Very large family, divided into sub-families and tribes, once named Compositae; 1-2,000 genera, 20,000+ species. Dicotyledons Group WARNING – family descriptions are only a layman’s guide and should not be used as definitive ASTERACEAE – ASTER FAMILY Straggler Daisy; Calyptocarpus vialis Less.

Asclepias Exaltata Common Name: Poke Milkweed Family: Asclepiadaceae Height: 2-6 Ft
Asclepias exaltata Common Name: Poke Milkweed Family: Asclepiadaceae Height: 2-6 ft. Spread: 2 feet Bloom: green or pale purple, hoods white or light pink Bloom Time: May-June Sun: partial or dappled sunlight Water: medium This is a tall-growing milkweed with unusual bicolored flowers. Habitats consist of woodland openings, rich mesic woodlands, sandy woodlands, upland rocky woodlands, wooded slopes, areas along paths in woodlands, and woodland borders. The flowers of Poke Milkweed attract bumblebees and butterflies, including the Monarch and Great Spangled Fritillary butterflies. Mammalian herbivores avoid consumption of milkweeds as their foliage contains toxic cardiac glycosides and it is bitter-tasting. Poke Milkweed has been known to hybridize with Common Milkweed, producing plants with intermediate characteristics. Blephilia hirsuta Common Name: Hairy Wood Mint Plant Type: Herbaceous perennial Family: Mint family (Lamiaceae) Height: 1–3' Bloom: pink, purple or white Spread: 2 feet Sun: partial sun to light shade Water: moist to mesic The preference is a rich loamy soil with decaying leaf mold. Habitats include mesic deciduous woodlands, areas along woodland paths, woodland borders, woodland openings, limestone glades, and thickets. The preference is a rich loamy soil with decaying leaf mold. Habitats include mesic deciduous woodlands, areas along woodland paths, woodland borders, woodland openings, limestone glades, and thickets. The dense whorls of flowers distinguish the genus Blephilia from many other members of the Mint family. Another member of this genus that occurs in Ohio is Downy Wood Mint (Blephilia ciliata). Downy Wood Mint prefers habitats that are somewhat sunnier and drier; it is sometimes found in prairies and savannas. -

The somatic chromosome number of all studied taxa were deter- meined as 2n=2x=34. Total chromosome lengths varied 68.00 to 147.92 µm among species. Karyotype asymme- try indices other parameters were also calculated. Karyotype analysis indicated that Cirsium taxa generally have median (m and M) chromosomes. In addition, only C. davisianum species has one submedian (sm) chromosome. The chromosome number and karyotype of C. polycephalum, C. handaniae, C. davisianum and C. ekimianum are newly reported.

4 Oklahoma Native Plant Record Volume 9, December 2009 VASCULAR PLANTS OF SOUTHEASTERN OKLAHOMA FROM THE SANS BOIS TO THE KIAMICHI MOUNTAINS Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate College of the Oklahoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy May 1969 Francis Hobart Means, Jr. Midwest City, Oklahoma Current Email Address: [email protected] The author grew up in the prairie region of Kay County where he learned to appreciate proper management of the soil and the native grass flora. 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. Editor’s note: The original species list included habitat characteristics and collection notes. These are omitted here but are available in the dissertation housed at the Edmon-Low Library at OSU or in digital form by request to the editor. [SS] PHYSICAL FEATURES Winding Stair Mountain ranges.
