  • "National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary."
    Intro 1996 National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands The Fish and Wildlife Service has prepared a National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary (1996 National List). The 1996 National List is a draft revision of the National List of Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1988 National Summary (Reed 1988) (1988 National List). The 1996 National List is provided to encourage additional public review and comments on the draft regional wetland indicator assignments. The 1996 National List reflects a significant amount of new information that has become available since 1988 on the wetland affinity of vascular plants. This new information has resulted from the extensive use of the 1988 National List in the field by individuals involved in wetland and other resource inventories, wetland identification and delineation, and wetland research. Interim Regional Interagency Review Panel (Regional Panel) changes in indicator status as well as additions and deletions to the 1988 National List were documented in Regional supplements. The National List was originally developed as an appendix to the Classification of Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the United States (Cowardin et al.1979) to aid in the consistent application of this classification system for wetlands in the field.. The 1996 National List also was developed to aid in determining the presence of hydrophytic vegetation in the Clean Water Act Section 404 wetland regulatory program and in the implementation of the swampbuster provisions of the Food Security Act. While not required by law or regulation, the Fish and Wildlife Service is making the 1996 National List available for review and comment.

NHESP is responsible for the conservation and protection of hundreds of species that are not hunted, fished, trapped, or commercially harvested in the state. The Program's highest priority is protecting the 176 species of vertebrate and invertebrate animals and 259 species of native plants that are officially listed as Endangered, Threatened or of Special Concern in Massachusetts. Endangered species conservation in Massachusetts depends on you! A major source of funding for the protection of rare and endangered species comes from voluntary donations on state income tax forms. Contributions go to the Natural Heritage & Endangered Species Fund, which provides a portion of the operating budget for the Natural Heritage & Endangered Species Program.

    African countries and neighbouring islands covered by the Synopsis. S T R E L I T Z I A 23 Synopsis of the Lycopodiophyta and Pteridophyta of Africa, Madagascar and neighbouring islands by J.P. Roux Pretoria 2009 S T R E L I T Z I A This series has replaced Memoirs of the Botanical Survey of South Africa and Annals of the Kirstenbosch Botanic Gardens which SANBI inherited from its predecessor organisations. The plant genus Strelitzia occurs naturally in the eastern parts of southern Africa. It comprises three arborescent species, known as wild bananas, and two acaulescent species, known as crane flowers or bird-of-paradise flowers. The logo of the South African National Biodiversity Institute is based on the striking inflorescence of Strelitzia reginae, a native of the Eastern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal that has become a garden favourite worldwide. It sym- bolises the commitment of the Institute to champion the exploration, conservation, sustain- able use, appreciation and enjoyment of South Africa’s exceptionally rich biodiversity for all people.

  • From Tenerife, Canary Islands
    FERN GAZ. 18(8):342-350. 2010 342 TWO NOVEL ASPLENIUM HYBRIDS (ASPLENIACEAE: PTERIDOPHYTA) FROM TENERIFE, CANARY ISLANDS F.J. RUMSEY1 & A. LEONARD2 1Dept. of Botany, Natural History Museum, Cromwell Road, London, SW7 5BD, UK, e-mail: [email protected] 237 Lower Bere Wood, Waterlooville, Hants., PO7 7NQ, UK e-mail: [email protected] Keywords: Asplenium hemionitis, A. aureum, A. onopteris, A. × tagananaense, hybridization, Macaronesia ABSTRACT A plant closely resembling Asplenium hemionitis L. but with more dissected, lobed fronds was discovered during a trip to the Anaga mountains, Tenerife, Canary Islands in 2009. This was found to show almost complete spore abortion, indicating a hybrid origin. From the associated species and frond form we suggest the other parent to be A. onopteris L. This represents the first documented hybrid of the rather taxonomically isolated A. hemionitis. The hybrid, A. × tagananaense, is described and its distinguishing features given. A further novel Asplenium hybrid, photographed in 1995 but not subsequently refound, is identified as that between A. onopteris and A. aureum Cav. In the absence of a specimen it is not formally described but its distinctive features are illustrated and its occurrence reported. INTRODUCTION In February 2009 a small group of pteridologists led by the second author and comprising Alison Evans, Michael Hayward, Tim Pyner and Martin Rickard went to Tenerife. During the excursion, an odd looking fern, which several in the group considered to be an aberrant form of Asplenium hemionitis was found. The plant had the palmate frond form unique in the region to this species but closer examination showed the lobes themselves to be more highly dissected, the lobules not apparent as they were largely in the same plane as the frond and closely imbricate.

Several members of the Huperziaceae (Huperzia and Phlegmariurus species) have been used as medicines in China for contusions, strains, swellings, schizophrenia, myasthenia gravis and organophosphate poisoning. HupA has been marketed in China as a new drug for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) treatment and its derivative ZT-1 is being developed as anti-AD new drug candidate both in China and in Europe. A review of the chemistry, bioactivities, toxicology, clinical trials and natural resources of HupA source plants is presented.
