Draft from Designs On Nature; Up Your C 25 SEDGES, FOINS COUPANTS, LAÎCHES, ROUCHES, ROUCHETTES, & some mostly wet things in the sedge family. Because Bill Gates has been shown to eat footnotes (burp!, & enjoy it), footnotes are (italicized in the body of the text) for their protection. Someone who can spell caespitose only won way has know imagination. Much of the following is taken verbatim from other works, & often not credited. There is often not a way to paraphrase or rewrite habitat or descriptive information without changing the meaning. I am responsible for any mistakes in quoting or otherwise. This is a learning tool, & a continuation of an idea of my friend & former employer, Jock Ingels, LaFayette Home Nursery, who hoped to present more available information about a plant in one easily accessible place, instead of scattered though numerous sources. This is a work in perpetual progress, a personal learning tool, full uv misstakes, & written as a personal means instead of a public end. Redundant, repetitive, superfluous, & contradictory information is present. It is being consolidated. CYPERACEAE Sauergrasgewächse SEDGES, aka BIESIES, SEGGEN Formally described in 1789 by De Jussieu. The family name is derived from the genus name Cyperus, from the Greek kupeiros, meaning sedge. Many species are grass-like, being tufted, with long, thin, narrow leaves, jointed stems, & branched inflorescence of small flowers, & are horticulturally lumped with grasses as graminoids. Archer (2005) suggests the term graminoid be used for true grasses, & cyperoid be used for sedges. (If physical anthropologists have hominoids & hominids, why don’t we have graminoids & graminids?) There are approximately 104 genera, 4 subfamilies, 14 tribes, & about 5000 species worldwide, with 27 genera & 843 species in North America (Ball et al 2002).

  • Epilist 1.0: a Global Checklist of Vascular Epiphytes
    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2021 EpiList 1.0: a global checklist of vascular epiphytes Zotz, Gerhard ; Weigelt, Patrick ; Kessler, Michael ; Kreft, Holger ; Taylor, Amanda Abstract: Epiphytes make up roughly 10% of all vascular plant species globally and play important functional roles, especially in tropical forests. However, to date, there is no comprehensive list of vas- cular epiphyte species. Here, we present EpiList 1.0, the first global list of vascular epiphytes based on standardized definitions and taxonomy. We include obligate epiphytes, facultative epiphytes, and hemiepiphytes, as the latter share the vulnerable epiphytic stage as juveniles. Based on 978 references, the checklist includes >31,000 species of 79 plant families. Species names were standardized against World Flora Online for seed plants and against the World Ferns database for lycophytes and ferns. In cases of species missing from these databases, we used other databases (mostly World Checklist of Selected Plant Families). For all species, author names and IDs for World Flora Online entries are provided to facilitate the alignment with other plant databases, and to avoid ambiguities. EpiList 1.0 will be a rich source for synthetic studies in ecology, biogeography, and evolutionary biology as it offers, for the first time, a species‐level overview over all currently known vascular epiphytes. At the same time, the list represents work in progress: species descriptions of epiphytic taxa are ongoing and published life form information in floristic inventories and trait and distribution databases is often incomplete and sometimes evenwrong.

  • Fern Classification
    16 Fern classification ALAN R. SMITH, KATHLEEN M. PRYER, ERIC SCHUETTPELZ, PETRA KORALL, HARALD SCHNEIDER, AND PAUL G. WOLF 16.1 Introduction and historical summary / Over the past 70 years, many fern classifications, nearly all based on morphology, most explicitly or implicitly phylogenetic, have been proposed. The most complete and commonly used classifications, some intended primar• ily as herbarium (filing) schemes, are summarized in Table 16.1, and include: Christensen (1938), Copeland (1947), Holttum (1947, 1949), Nayar (1970), Bierhorst (1971), Crabbe et al. (1975), Pichi Sermolli (1977), Ching (1978), Tryon and Tryon (1982), Kramer (in Kubitzki, 1990), Hennipman (1996), and Stevenson and Loconte (1996). Other classifications or trees implying relationships, some with a regional focus, include Bower (1926), Ching (1940), Dickason (1946), Wagner (1969), Tagawa and Iwatsuki (1972), Holttum (1973), and Mickel (1974). Tryon (1952) and Pichi Sermolli (1973) reviewed and reproduced many of these and still earlier classifica• tions, and Pichi Sermolli (1970, 1981, 1982, 1986) also summarized information on family names of ferns. Smith (1996) provided a summary and discussion of recent classifications. With the advent of cladistic methods and molecular sequencing techniques, there has been an increased interest in classifications reflecting evolutionary relationships. Phylogenetic studies robustly support a basal dichotomy within vascular plants, separating the lycophytes (less than 1 % of extant vascular plants) from the euphyllophytes (Figure 16.l; Raubeson and Jansen, 1992, Kenrick and Crane, 1997; Pryer et al., 2001a, 2004a, 2004b; Qiu et al., 2006). Living euphyl• lophytes, in turn, comprise two major clades: spermatophytes (seed plants), which are in excess of 260 000 species (Thorne, 2002; Scotland and Wortley, Biology and Evolution of Ferns and Lycopliytes, ed.

Vol. xxvi No 1 (113)June 1966 By D. M. NAPPER PYCREUS Beauv. Like the following genera Pycreus has been regarded as a subgenus of Cyperus by a number of notable cyperologists. Recent work in related studies, especially anatomy, emphasisesthe lack of homogeneity in this vast complex and supports the return to a more practicable classification such as is used here. A large genus spread widely in all tropical and subtropical regions of the world Pycreus may be found in most suitably damp localities. Superficiallyit has a closeresemb• lance to Cyperus in the leafy habit and the inflorescence of spikelets borne in ebracteate clusters and umbels. The spikelets themselves are compressed and many-flowered with a persistent but not winged rhachilla. The style bears 2 stigmas and the ellipsoid or obovoid nutlet is laterally compressed (where the stigmas are reduced to 2 in Cyperus the nutlets are usually vertically compressed). The surface of the nutlet is smooth except in the section Zonatae where distinct continuous or interrupted horizontal lines or minute tubercles are apparent. Key to Species I.

    ATOLL RESEARCH BULLETIN NO. 229 THE PROPAGULES OF THE TERRESTRIAL FLORA OF THE ALDABRA ARCHIPELAGO, WESTERN INDIAN OCEAN by G. E. Wickens Issued by THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION Washington, D. C., USA. September 1979 THE PROPAGULES OF THE TERRESTRIAL FLORA OF THE ALDABRA ARCHIPELAGO, WESTERN INDL4N OCEAN The origins of the flora of the islands of the Aldabra archipelago, Aldabra, Assumption, Cosmoledo and Astove, and speculations on the modes of dispersal were discussed in an earlier paper (Wickens, 1979). In this paper the propagules are described, together withnoteson their presumed status, distribution within the archipelago, and where known, information provided regarding long-distance dispersal and local dispersal. Dispersal information has been gleaned from the literature, or, in instances where no literature reference is provided, from unpublished data kindly supplied by C. B. Frith and Dr S. H. Hnatiuk. The status of a species, whether native or introduced, is in some cases uncertain; the question is considered in some detail in Wickens (1979). Weeds are generally associated with areas of habitation, cultivation and waste places. Many are widely recognized as such in the literature, e.g. Haigh et al. (19511, Rochecouste & Vaughan (1959-66), Henderson & Anderson (19661, Ivens (19671, Henty & Pritchard (19751, and Holm et al. (1977). Cultivated plants are those believed to have been deliberately introduced for food, ornament, or some other utilitarian purpose. In both cases there are examples where the plant could have been naturally introduced. Three categories are recognized for the native flora: 'strand' for the seashore littoral, 'lagoon' for the mangroves and tidal flats within the shelter of the lagoons, and 'inland' species, for which no designation is given in the text.

    CYPERUS Description: Annual or perennial herbs, tufted or rhizomatous, rarely tuber-bearing. Culms triquetrous to terete, nodeless. Leaves sometimes reduced to sheaths; ligule present or absent. Inflorescence simple or compound, umbel-like or head-like, rarely reduced to one spikelet; involucral bracts mostly leaf-like. Spikelets many- or few-flowered, flattened or terete, spicate or digitate at the ends of the ultimate branches or sometimes occupying the whole of the ultimate branches. Rachilla straight or flexuous, often bordered by hyaline or coloured membranous wings. Glumes distichous (very rarely spiral), concave or keeled, keel usually green, all except the lowest 2 or 1 subequal and containing bisexual flowers or the terminal one sometimes male. Hypogynous bristles absent. Stamens 1-3. Style 2- or 3-fid, continuous with ovary, not thickened at base, deciduous. Nut trigonous or lenticular, glabrous, smooth or punctulate, rarely coarsely reticulate or transversely elongated. Distribution and occurrence: World: c. 600 species, cosmopolitan. Australia: c. 150 species (c. 50 species endemic), all States. This genus is taken here in the broad sense to include species sometimes assigned to segregate genera such as Kyllinga and Pycreus. The tribe Cypereae is undergoing further study to assess whether segregate genera (including Lipocarpha) should be accepted. Key to the genus Cyperus 1 Style 3-fid; nut 3-angled in cross-section (more or less trigonous) 2 Style 2-fid; nut lenticular, biconvex, plano- or concavo-convex 106 2 Dwarf annuals

  • New Universal ITS2 Primers for High-Resolution Herbivory Analyses
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN New universal ITS2 primers for high-resolution herbivory analyses using DNA metabarcoding in both Received: 28 November 2017 Accepted: 15 May 2018 tropical and temperate zones Published: xx xx xxxx Rosemary J. Moorhouse-Gann1, Jenny C. Dunn 1,2,3, Natasha de Vere4,5, Martine Goder6, Nik Cole6,7, Helen Hipperson8 & William O. C. Symondson1 DNA metabarcoding is a rapidly growing technique for obtaining detailed dietary information. Current metabarcoding methods for herbivory, using a single locus, can lack taxonomic resolution for some applications. We present novel primers for the second internal transcribed spacer of nuclear ribosomal DNA (ITS2) designed for dietary studies in Mauritius and the UK, which have the potential to give unrivalled taxonomic coverage and resolution from a short-amplicon barcode. In silico testing used three databases of plant ITS2 sequences from UK and Mauritian foras (native and introduced) totalling 6561 sequences from 1790 species across 174 families. Our primers were well-matched in silico to 88% of species, providing taxonomic resolution of 86.1%, 99.4% and 99.9% at the species, genus and family levels, respectively. In vitro, the primers amplifed 99% of Mauritian (n = 169) and 100% of UK (n = 33) species, and co-amplifed multiple plant species from degraded faecal DNA from reptiles and birds in two case studies. For the ITS2 region, we advocate taxonomic assignment based on best sequence match instead of a clustering approach. With short amplicons of 187–387 bp, these primers are suitable for metabarcoding plant DNA from faecal samples, across a broad geographic range, whilst delivering unparalleled taxonomic resolution.
