  • Annotated Species List of the Dead Horse Mountains

    Annotated Species List of the Dead Horse Mountains

    APPENDIX A: ANNOTATED SPECIES LIST OF THE DEAD HORSE MOUNTAINS 166 167 APPENDIX A ANNOTATED SPECIES LIST OF THE DEAD HORSE MOUNTAINS FLORA Species are arranged by divisions following Raven et al. (2003): Lycophyta, Pteridophyta, Coniferophyta, Gnetophyta, and Anthophyta. The flowering plants are subdivided into the classes Monocotyledones and Eudicotyledones. Within these hierarchical groupings, taxa are listed alphabetically by family, genus, species, and infraspecific rank, as appropriate. Beyond a basic reliance on the Manual of Vascular Plants of Texas (Correll and Johnston 1970), taxonomy and nomenclature were taken preferentially from several updated sources, including Powell (in prep.) and Powell et al. (in ms.) for non-woody vascular species and genera, the Flora of North America volumes for the Poaceae and Asteraceae (FNA 2003b, 2006, 2007), and Powell and Weedin (2004) for the Cactaceae. Online databases were also checked for currency, authorities, and synonomy (ITIS 2007, MBG 2007, USDA 2007). Turner et al. (2003) was the fundamental source for nomenclature and distributional data. Specimens found through the herbaria search were assumed to be correctly identified unless the distribution information (dot maps reflecting collection localities) in Turner et al. (2003) raised significant doubts. In some cases, specimens were examined, and species were added to the flora or were placed on a “likely to occur” list (Appx. B). Also placed on that list were species without vouchers from the study area but that had conducive distributions according to various sources cited accordingly. Some species— either listed without a voucher or that were unable to be examined, with distributions far 167 168 away from the study area—were placed on an “unlikely to occur” list (Appx.

    Yucca from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia

    Yucca From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Yucca is a genus of perennial shrubs and trees in the family Asparagaceae, subfamily Agavoideae.[2] Its 40-50 species are notable for Yucca their rosettes of evergreen, tough, sword-shaped leaves and large terminal panicles of white or whitish flowers. They are native to the hot and dry (arid) parts of North America, Central America, South America, and the Caribbean. Early reports of the species were confused with the cassava (Manihot esculenta).[3] Consequently, Linnaeus mistakenly derived the generic name from the Carib word for the latter, yuca (spelt with a single "c").[4] It is also colloquially known in the Midwest United States as "ghosts in the graveyard", as it is commonly found growing in rural graveyards and when in bloom the flowers appear as floating apparitions.

The natural distribution range of the genus Yucca (49 species and 24 subspecies) covers a vast area of North and Central America. From Baja Species California in the west, northwards into the southwestern United States, through the drier central states as far north as Alberta in Canada (Yucca See text. glauca ssp. albertana), and moving east along the Gulf of Mexico, and then north again, through the Atlantic coastal and inland neighbouring Synonyms states. To the south, the genus is represented throughout Mexico and extends into Guatemala (Yucca guatemalensis).

Facultad de Estudios Superiores Zaragoza Unidad de Investigación en Sistemática Vegetal y Suelo Responsable Dr. Eloy Solano Camacho, [email protected] Corresponsables: M. en C. Ramiro Ríos Gómez, M. en C. María Magdalena Ayala H., M. en C. Héctor Serrano Casas Colaboradores: M. en C. Miguel Rivera Lugo, QFI. Ma. Luz López Martínez Introducción Yucca es un género americano conformado por 35 a 49 especies distribuidas desde el suroeste de Canadá hasta Guatemala (Matuda y Piña, 1980). La mayor riqueza de especies se ubica en las zonas áridas y semiáridas del sur de Estados Unidos y norte de México (Clary, 1997). Las yucas habitan preferentemente en el matorral xerófilo, no obstante, también se localizan en los bosques tropicales o templados, y en raras ocasiones se observan en las dunas. En México se encuentra más del 60% de las especies , y 50% de ellas son endémicas (García-Mend., 2011). Sus flores, frutos y el pedúnculo floral son un alimento común en varias regiones de la República, las hojas se usan para techar casas y con sus fibras son elaborados diversos utensilios. Las especies de este género no han sido bien delimitadas, diversos autores en función de criterios diferentes utilizados han propuesto distintas clasificaciones. Se han realizado estudios anatómicos, citogenéticos y filogenéticos de algunas especies. En la actualidad no existe un análisis filogenético de Yucca que incluya a todos los taxa, y que combine caracteres moleculares, citométricos, morfológicos, anatómicos y biogeográficos, que permitan resolver la problemática taxonómica de este género complejo.

    Diagnóstico De Enfermedades Causadas Por Hongos En Plantas De Palmera Y Tipo Palmera De Uso Ornamental, En Un Vivero De La Comunidad Valenciana

    UNIVERSITAT POLITÈCNICA DE VALÈNCIA DEPARTAMENTO DE ECOSISTEMAS AGROFORESTALES Diagnóstico de enfermedades causadas por hongos en plantas de palmera y tipo palmera de uso ornamental, en un vivero de la Comunidad Valenciana Trabajo Final Máster Universitario en Sanidad y Producción Vegetal PRESENTADO POR: Francisco Javier Beluzan Flores DIRIGIDO POR: Dra. María Paloma Abad Campos CURSO ACADÉMICO 2017/2018 SEPTIEMBRE DE 2018, VALENCIA, ESPAÑA RESUMEN Durante la última década, el cultivo de plantas ornamentales en España ha presentado un incremento paulatino y sostenido. Esto es debido a una fuerte corriente comercial que ha sido promovida principalmente por la industria viverística, sobre todo la dedicada a la producción de palmeras ornamentales. Estos cultivos al igual que los agrícolas, no están exentos de problemas sanitarios que perjudican directamente la producción. Por esta razón, es que surge la necesidad de determinar cuáles son los problemas fitopatológicos frecuentes en la producción de estas plantas en viveros, para establecer medidas agronómicas de manejo. Por lo anterior, este Trabajo de Fin de Máster, tiene como objetivo general diagnosticar enfermedades de etiología fúngica, en plantas de palmera y tipo palmera de uso ornamental, además de proponer medidas de manejo de las infecciones diagnosticadas. Para responder a los objetivos planteados se analizaron muestras de Chamaerops humilis cv. vulcano, Yucca rostrata, Syagrus romanzoffiana y Cycas revoluta, provenientes de un vivero de la Comunidad Valenciana, que presentaban síntomas de posibles infecciones causadas por hongos en la zona foliar y radical. Las muestras se procesaron en el Laboratorio de Patología Vegetal de la Universidad Politécnica de Valencia, para su análisis. Los órganos vegetales sintomáticos a infecciones fúngicas, se sometieron al protocolo de desinfección y de aislamiento en cultivo puro de hongos presentes en tejido vegetal.

    Trillium – September 2016

    V OLUME 26, I SSUE 5 SEPTEMBER 2016 Piedmont Chapter North American Rock Garden Society The Trillium Chapel Hill, Durham, Raleigh, NC Fancy and Fondness by Michael Papay We become accustomed to the things always around us. Perhaps this is the case with our native plants. We see them so much we hardly see them at all. Now I am no advocate for “native only.” I thoroughly enjoy the visual impact of “exotics.” Yet they would not seem so fanciful without something familiar for comparison. Half of our three acres is thick with native plants natural to the site. The native flora harbors native fau- na, which brings me no end of delight. The leaves of our Sweetgum trees (Liquidambar styraciflua) feed the caterpillars of Luna Moths. In autumn and winter flocks of Goldfinches feed noisily and cheerfully on the abundant seeds hidden in the spiky Sweetgum fruit. We have several Chokecherry trees (Prunus virgini- ana) whose leaves feed the caterpillars of the flashy Tiger Swallowtail butterfly, whilst the flowers feed the bees and the fruits feed the birds. We are fortunate to have several native Viburnums natural to the prop- erty, my favorite of these being Viburnum dentatum. Specimens in full sun blanket themselves in spring with white blossoms, which the bees find irresistible. Later, the small black fruits are greedily gobbled and guarded by birds. In autumn the leaves take on flaming hues of gold. All of this produced from lousy soil without supple- mental water or Photo by Michael Papay fertilizer. The natives know how to do it and are wonderful plants to set off my “exotic” Aga- ves, Palms, and Yuccas.

Overview Yucca queretaroensis is a plant endemic to central Mexico, specifically portions of the Sierra Madre Oriental in the states of Guanajuato, Querétaro and Hidalgo. Its wild populations are small (aproximately 60,300 individuals) and fragmented (607.64 km2). In addition, the species has a high habitat specificity (Magallán-Hernández et al., 2011, 2012a, y 2012b); it is therefore considered biologically rare. * The geographical designations employed in this document do not imply the expression of any opinion whatsoever on the part of the CITES Secretariat or the United Nations Environment Programme concerning the legal status of any country, territory, or area, or concerning the delimitation of its frontiers or boundaries.
