  • "National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary."

    "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.

    Ray Grass Perenne Pdf

    Ray grass perenne pdf Continue Published in Temperate Climate and Cold Description: Unlike the annual rye grass, this variety is characterized by lasting over two years, being able to reach up to three or four years. It has a shallow fibrous radical system. It adapts to a temperate climate, does not tolerate high temperatures. Its growth is straight, with bright green leaves. It supports trampling, frost and is well competitive with other species. Soil: Suitable for all soils (except sandy soils), although it prefers fertile and moist soils and ph is close to neutrality. Nutrients and water: Requires irrigation, especially in summer and high fertilization. Shadow: Not suitable. Landing density: 3 to 15 kg / 100 m2. It is preferable to sow in early autumn, but can also be done in summer. Please note that the depth is no more than 2 cm. Cutting: 3 to 5 cm. Frequency: increased. Use: Widely used in parks and sports grounds, in mixes. It belongs to the family of grass, which is widely used all over the world and is considered one of the most valuable species of meadows. It is one of the most commonly used species both alone and in the mix. It has excellent tolerance to use, rapid germination (7 days in spring and 10 days in winter) and excellent installation speed. On the other hand, it is a species that is not drought-tolerant and requires high maintenance. Crossing different varieties has produced a wide range of varieties that differ in their characteristics, such as: tolerance to use, winter strength, color, resistance to disease and tolerance to heat and drought.

  • Mediterrane Mediterranean Sage

    Mediterrane Mediterranean Sage

    Asotin County Noxious Weed Control Board P.O. Box 881 Asotin, WA 99402 (509) 243-2098 Mediterranean sage Salvia aethiopis L. Description: This aromatic biennial member of the mint family can grow 2 to 3 feet in height. The first year of growth produces a distinctive, large showy rosette of grayish/bluish wooly leaves. During the second season, the plant produces multiple branches with stems ending in clusters of white flowers. The lower leaves have petioles and are coarsely toothed. Upper leaves are smaller and clasp the stem. As the plant matures, the pubescence will shed off and show the green leaf beneath. Thousands of seeds are dispersed as the dry plant breaks off from its base and tumbles with the wind. Habitat: Mediterranean sage is unpalatable to grazing animals and degrades rangeland by redu cing forb and grass production. It will invade shrub steppe rangelands as well as the adjoining understory of ponderosa pine forests. It favors disturbed sites initially, but can spread into other areas after establishment. Mediterranean sage rarely gro ws in crop lands but is generally found in pastures, roadsides, and rangelands. Mechanical: Plants cut 2-3” below the crown prevent resprouting. Mowing is effective only if repeated many times throughout the season. Biological: Phrydiuchus tau , a root feeding weevil, was introduced in 1969. The larvae feed on the root crown thus reducing or even preventing flower production. This weevil, in addition to planting competitive vegetation, has reduced populations of Mediterranean sage in Oregon and I daho. Fire: Unknown Cultural control: Tillage is an effective tool in fields and pastures.

The Yeşilırmak Delta, Samsun, Turkey, is the second largest delta plain of Turkey. Among the plants distributed in different habitats of the delta, medically important species and their usage were investigated based on the literature. It has been determined 160 species and infraspecific taxa belonging 61 families and 141 genera which can be used for medicinal purposes in the research area. Our aim is to provide a database in relation to medicinal plants distributed naturally in such a region that 65.4% of which is assigned as agricultural area. Keywords: Ethnomedicine, Toxic effect, Yeşilırmak Delta. Introduction identification (Briskin, 2000).

  • Elytrigia and Elymus (Agropyron)

    Elytrigia and Elymus (Agropyron)

    Plant Crib ELYTRIGIA AND ELYMUS (AGROPYRON) 1. General There are number of problems which can cause confusion in these genera, though the species are themselves usually quite distinct. i) Changes in nomenclature. The current names and recent synonymy are as follows: Elymus caninus (L.) L. (Agropyron caninum) Elytrigia atherica (Link) Kerguélen ex Carreras Mart. (Elymus pycnanthus; Agropyron pungens) Elytrigia juncea (L.) Nevski (Elymus farctus; Agropyron junciforme) Elytrigia repens (L.) Desv. ex Nevski (Elymus repens; Agropyron repens) Leymus arenarius (L.) Hochst. (Elymus arenarius) ii) Plants with awns. Plants of Elytrigia repens with awns are quite common and tend to be recorded as Elymus caninus by the unwary (when the florets of the latter drop or are pulled off, the two glumes stay attached to the stem, but come off with the floret in Elytrigia repens). Elytrigia atherica may also have awns. iii) Both Elytrigia repens and E. atherica may grow on saltmarshes and adjacent banks, especially in the north, and are frequently confused by the unwary if it is assumed only the latter occurs on saltmarshes. iv) Hybrids may be locally frequent near the coast (e.g. E. ´ drucei seems to be much more common in Cumbria than E. atherica, which may not occur at all; Halliday 1997). When the jizz of the parents is known, hybrids can be picked out as intermediate from a few metres away. v) The hairs on the margins of the leaf sheaths may rub off late in the season. In the following rather unsatisfactory key (updated from Wigginton & Graham 1981) an attempt has been made to key out the hybrids, which as a rule have empty anthers.

Croat. 65 (1), 13–18, 2006 CODEN: ABCRA25 ISSN 0365–0588 Infraspecific variability in the flavonoid composition of Artemisia vulgaris L. MILENA NIKOLOVA* Institute of Botany, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, 23, Acad. G. Bonchev str. 1113 Sofia, Bulgaria Surface flavonoid profiles in forty populations of Artemisia vulgaris L. (Asteraceae) were analyzed. The major constituents observed in the leaf exudates were methylated flavonoid aglycones based mainly on quercetin. Three infraspecific flavonoid chemotypes were de- termined, the chrysosplenetin (quercetagetin 3,6,7,3’-tetramethyl ether) chemotype, the artemetin (quercetagetin 3,6,7,3’,4’-pentamethyl ether) chemotype and chemotype with- out these two compounds. Most of the populations corresponded to these chemotypes. Key words: Artemisia vulgaris, Asteraceae, flavonoid aglycones, chrysosplenetin, arte- metin, chemotype Introduction Surface flavonoid aglycones are often used in chemotaxonomic studies on Asteraceae at the generic and species level (VALANT-VETSCHERA and WOLLENWEBER 1996, WOLLEN- WEBER et al. 1997, STEVENS et al. 1999). Recent articles showed that a flavonoid pattern couldalsobespecificforachemotype(REP^ÁK et al. 1999, WILLIAMS et al. 2000, MARTONFI et al. 2001, VIEIRA et al. 2003). The species of the genus Artemisia (Asreraceae) have been extensively surveyed for their surface flavonoid constituents (WOLLENWEBER et al. 1989, VALANT-VETSCHERA and WOLLENWEBER 1995, WOLLENWEBER and VALANT-VETSCHERA 1996). Artemisia vulgaris L (Asteraceae) is a perennial polymorphic species, widespread in temperate areas (South Europe, North Africa, North America and Asia). Simple flavonol methyl ethers have been reported for West-European populations (VALANT-VETSCHERA et al.
