  • Comandra Blister Rust Mary W
    ARIZONA COOPERATIVE E TENSION AZ1310 May, 2009 Comandra Blister Rust Mary W. Olsen Comandra blister rust is a native disease in Arizona on ponderosa pine. It also occurs on Mondell pine, a pine species introduced for landscapes and Christmas tree production in Arizona. Comandra blister rust can cause death of ponderosa saplings, but it is not an important disease of mature ponderosa trees. However, infections kill Mondell pine, and they should not be planted within a mile of Comandra. The alternate host for the rust is Comandra pallida, for which the disease is named. Comandra pallida, commonly called bastard toadflax, is a small herbaceous perennial plant found in close association with oak. It has small light pink flowers in terminal clusters and nutlike fruit. It is found throughout Arizona at elevations of 4,000- 8,000 ft. Pathogen: Comandra blister rust, Cronartium comandrae Hosts: Pinus eldarica (Mondell pine, Afghan pine), Pinus ponderosa (ponderosa pine) and Comandra pallida, bastard toadflax Symptoms/signs: Comandra blister rust on Mondell pine. On Mondell pine, Comandra blister rust causes branch dieback and death of trees of all ages. Swollen areas produced on the alternate host, Comandra. These are develop in branches and trunks, and the bark and delicate spores that can travel in air currents only about underlying sapwood die. On pine, orange “blisters” one mile. During the first year, the fungus becomes develop on trunks and branches as the bark splits and established in pine bark, and swollen areas with fruiting ruptures. Infections on Comandra, the alternate host, structures (spermagonia) develop in branches and appear as orange or rusty colored pustules on leaves trunks.

  • Fdn22 Northern Dry-Bedrock Pine (Oak) Woodland *Spinulose Shield Fern Or Glandular Wood Fern ( Dryopteris Carthusiana Or D
    FIRE-DEPENDENT FOREST/WOODLAND SYSTEM FDn22 Northern Floristic Region Northern Dry-Bedrock Pine (Oak) Woodland Dry pine or oak woodlands on shallow, excessively drained, loamy soils on bedrock ridges and hillsides or on rock ledges and terraces adjacent to rivers. Crown and surface fires were common historically. Vegetation Structure & Composition Description is based on summary of vegetation data from 47 plots (relevés). Ground-layer cover of forbs and grami- noids typically ranges from 25-75%. The most common vascular plants are Canada mayflower (Maianthemum canadense), wild sarsaparilla (Aralia nudicaulis), large-leaved aster (Aster macrophyllus), poverty grass (Danthonia spicata), wintergreen (Gaultheria procumbens), and bracken (Pteridium aqui- linum). Lichen- and moss-covered bedrock and boulders typically make up at least 25% of the ground layer. Shrub layer is typically dominated by deciduous species, usually with patchy to interrupted cover (25-75%). Lowbush blue- berry (Vaccinium angustifolium), juneberries (Amelanchier spp.), red maple saplings, and bush honeysuckle (Diervilla lonicera) are the most common species in the shrub layer. Subcanopy is usually absent, but when present, red maple and paper birch are frequent components. Canopy is composed of conifers, hardwoods, or conifers mixed with hardwoods, and is usually patchy (25-50% cover), with openings in areas of exposed bedrock or boulders. Red pine and white pine are dominant on many sites. On other sites, jack pine or northern pin oak are dominant. In mixed forests, conifers often form a supercanopy above hardwood species. Paper birch is often present in the hardwood canopy. Landscape Setting & Soils Glacially scoured bedrock—Common. Landscape is hummocky to rugged. Parent material is non-calcareous drift, usually less than 20in (50cm) deep over bedrock.

Executive Summary This survey was a continuation of several years of rare plant survey on San Juan Public Lands. Funding for the project was provided by San Juan National Forest and the San Juan Resource Area of the Bureau of Land Management. Previous rare plant surveys on San Juan Public Lands by CNHP were conducted in conjunction with county wide surveys of La Plata, Archuleta, San Juan and San Miguel counties, with partial funding from Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO); and in 2004, public lands only in Dolores and Montezuma counties, funded entirely by the San Juan Public Lands. Funding for 2005 was again provided by San Juan Public Lands. The primary emphases for field work in 2005 were: 1. revisit and update information on rare plant occurrences of agency sensitive species in the Colorado Natural Heritage Program (CNHP) database that were last observed prior to 2000, in order to have the most current information available for informing the revision of the Resource Management Plan for the San Juan Public Lands (BLM and San Juan National Forest); 2.

  • Intumescences on Poplar Leaves. 1. Structure and Development 1
    INTUMESCENCES ON POPLAR LEAVES. 1. STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT 1 CARL D. LA RUE (Received for publication April 12, 1932) INTRODUCTION The peculiar wart-like outgrowths of cells on leaves and stems, which were named" intumescences" by Sorauer (12), have been observed on a num­ ber of plants. Sorauer himself found them on more than a dozen plants, and other workers have recorded their occurrence on plants of various families. They have been found on both monocotyledonous and dicotyledon­ ous angiosperms, on gymnosperms, and even on ferns. Viala and Pacottet (14) found them on the cultivated grape; Dale (2) on Hibiscus vitifolius,. Steiner (13) on Ruellia formosa, and A phelandra porteana; Atkinson (I) on the apple, and the tomato; Douglas (3) on the potato; and Von Schrenk (15) on the cauliflower. Cabbage plants have been observed to develop intu­ mescences under differing conditions by Harvey (5), and Wolf (17). Schilling (II) coated twigs of a number of plants with paraffin, or vaseline, with the result that intumescences were formed. Hahn, Hartley, and Rhoades (4) observed such growths on roots of several species of conifers. Kuster (6, 7) studied the intumescences on leaves of Populus tremula, and on the pods of Pisum sativum, Vicia [aba, and other leguminous plants; and Wallace (16) investigated the intumescences produced by the action of ethylene gas on apple twigs. Numerous other examples of these abnormalities are cited in the literature, which is reviewed by Kuster (8). In connection with a study of regeneration the author (9) discovered intu­ mescences on leaves of Populus tremuloides, and P.

  • LEAFLETS of WESTERN BOTANY
    MT^ LEAFLETS of WESTERN BOTANY INDEX Volumes I to X 1932 TO 1966 LEAFLETS OF WESTERN BOTANY INDEX Volumes I to X 1932 TO 1966 Compiled by JOHN THOMAS HOWELL and ANITA M. NOLDEKE SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA 1968 Published by John Thomas Howell Printed by Gillick Printing, Inc. Berkeley, California FOREWORD This cumulative index to Leaflets of Western Botany is based almost entirely on the published indexes of each of the ten volumes, those of volumes 1 to 7 having been compiled by me, and of volumes 8 to 10 by Anita Noldeke. Unfortunately, in the interest of economy, the earliest indexes are not as com- plete as I might wish, although such deficiencies as have been noted have been made up in the present work. Also included here are all plant names in various lists that were not indexed originally, such as those in Alice Eastwood's catalogue of plants on the Channel Islands (vol. 3, pages 55 to 76) and Jean M. Lindsdale's list of plants on the Hastings Reservation (vol. 7, pages 201 to 218). Besides the correction of certain errors in the volume indexes, we have made further corrections of original text spellings in this cumulative index, corrections that would have appeared in volume errata had they been detected in time. Such corrections in the present index are usually followed by the original misspelling in quotation marks. All names, whether accepted or synonymous, are given in regular (Roman) type, except for new names which are given in heavy (bold face) type. Of these new names, there are more than 1000 in this index.
