Tribe Lactuceae is subdivided into 11 subtribes, together comprising more than 1550 species in 96 genera (excluding microspecies of Taraxacum Weber in F. H. Wigg., Hieracium L., and Pilosella Hill). Subtribe Lactucinae comprises ca. 270 species in 17 genera. Tribe Lactuceae is unequivocally characterized by its ligulate capitula and its milky latex. The circumscription of the subtribe Lactucinae is less straightforward, involving terms such as "often", "frequently", "usually", and "sometimes" (Bremer, 1994, p. 183). To make things worse, the generic boundaries within the tribe are even more obscure, causing genera to be repetitively synonymized and resurrected (Cronquist, 1985). In this thesis, I will refer to Lactuca and related genera according to the genus concept of Ferakova (1977). Her concept represents a view somewhere between splitting and lumping, including genera such as Mulgedium Cass., Lactucopsis Schultz-Bip. ex Vis. et Pane, and Phaenixopus Cass, in Lactuca, while for example the genera Mycelis Cass, and CicerbitaWallr . are considered separate. Lactuca according to Ferakova (1977) is subdivided into four sections: Phaenixopus (Cass.) Benth., Mulgedium (Cass.) C. B. Clarke, Lactucopsis (Schultz-Bip. ex Vis. et Pane.) Rouy, and Lactuca. Section Lactuca is subdivided into two subsections: Cyanicae DC. and Lactuca (including L. sativa L., the cultivated lettuce). L. sativa will be referred to as "lettuce". In addition toLactuca sens u Ferakova (1977),Lactuca sens u lato(s.l. )i suse d for easy reference to Lactuca sensu Ferakova and a group of closely related genera. I define Lactuca s.l. approximately according to Stebbins(1937) . In his concept,Lactuca no tonl y includesMulgedium, Lactucopsis,an d Phaenixopus, but Mycelis and part of Cicerbita (excluding C. alpina(L. ) Wallr. and C.pancicii (Vis.)Beauverd. ) as well.Lactuca s.l. asuse d inthi s thesis includesLactuca sensu Stebbins (1937), supplemented with C. alpina (C. pancicii was not examined), and Steptorhamphus tuberosus. The latter was not mentioned by Stebbins (1937), but fits his description of the genus Lactuca.Th e genus concepts of Ferakova (1977), Stebbins (1937), and othersar ediscusse d inmor e detail inchapte r4 . In the course of my research, living material from 18specie s of Lactuca s.l. became available, and all species were included. The species represent all sections and subsections of Ferakova (1977). In order to properly evaluate the relationships in Lactuca s.l., I also included four outgroup species from genera less closely related to Lactuca, viz. Prenanthes purpurea L., Chondrillajuncea L., Taraxacumofficinale Weber in F. H. Wigg., and Sonchus asper (L.) Hill (Stebbins, 1937; Bremer, 1994). Among these species, P. purpurea is considered most closely related to Lactuca s.l. Both Lactuca and Prenanthes are in subtribe Lactucinae (Bremer, 1994), and according to Stebbins (1953) they are connected in the Prenanthes-Lactuca line. The remaining species are classified in subtribe Crepidinae Dumort. (C.juncea and T officinale),an d Introduction in subtribe Sonchinae K. Bremer {Sonchus asper). Apart from P. purpurea and species from Lactuca s.l., I also included Cichorium intybus L. The subtribal affinities of Cichorium L. are unclear,

  • Nabalus Racemosus (Michx.) Hook. Glaucous White Lettuce
    New England Plant Conservation Program Nabalus racemosus (Michx.) Hook. Glaucous white lettuce Conservation and Research Plan for New England Prepared by: Lisa St. Hilaire Ecologist 14 Prospect St. Augusta, Maine 04339 USA For: New England Wild Flower Society 180 Hemenway Road Framingham, Massachusetts 01701 USA 508/877-7630 e-mail: [email protected] • website: www.newfs.org Approved, Regional Advisory Council, December 2003 1 SUMMARY Nabalus racemosus (Michx.) Hook., glaucous white lettuce, is a perennial member of the Asteraceae or composite family. It is considered globally secure (G5), but in New England, it is known only from northern Maine, primarily along the St. John River. There are also several occurrences along the Aroostook River. Ice scour and flooding are common annual disturbances on these rivers. Many of the N. racemosus populations were discovered during survey efforts for Pedicularis furbishiae (Furbish’s lousewort), and both species, as well as many other rarities, may be found at some sites. In other parts of the country, N. racemosus grows in prairie communities. There are currently 31 extant occurrences in Maine, 28 of these along the St. John River, and three on the Aroostook River. There are four historic occurrences, all on the Aroostook River, and one extirpated population on the Aroostook River. Nabalus racemosus is a species of Special Concern in Maine, where it is ranked S3. Other nearby areas from which it is recorded include New Brunswick (S3), Nova Scotia (S1), Newfoundland Island (S1S2), Labrador (SR), Quebec (SR), Vermont (SR), New Jersey (SH), New York (SX), and Pennsylvania (SX). Little is known regarding the biology of Nabalus racemosus.

Gathered food plants (GFPs) (wild and weeds) are crucial for under- standing traditional Mediterranean diets. Combining open interviews and free–listing ques- tionnaires, we identified 215 GFP items, i.e., 53 fungi and 162 from 154 vascular plant species. The variation in frequency and in salience among the items follows a rectangular hyperbola. Highly salient species were Silene vulgaris (Moench) Garcke, Scolymus hispani- cus L., and Pleurotus eryngii (DC.: Fr.) Quélet. Salience and frequency showed no correlation with the expected health benefits of each species. Regional frequency in the Mediter- ranean and local frequency are directly related. Thus, local food plants are much less “local” than expected. Different types of culinary preparations provide the most information in the cluster analysis of variables.

Mihail Sadoveanu, nr. 3, 700490–Iaşi, Romania Corresponding author: [email protected] This second part of the paper about the vascular flora of Rarău Massif listed approximately half of the whole number of the species registered by the authors in their field trips or already included in literature on the same area. Other taxa have been added to the initial list of plants, so that, the total number of taxa registered by the authors in Rarău Massif amount to 1443 taxa (1133 species and 310 subspecies, varieties and forms). There was signaled out the alien taxa on the surveyed area (18 species) and those dubious presence of some taxa for the same area (17 species). Also, there were listed all the vascular plants, protected by various laws or regulations, both internal or international, existing in Rarău (i.e. 189 taxa). Finally, there has been assessed the degree of wild flora conservation, using several indicators introduced in literature by Nowak, as they are: conservation indicator (C), threat conservation indicator) (CK), sozophytisation indicator (W), and conservation effectiveness indicator (E). Key words: Vascular flora, Rarău Massif, Romania, conservation indicators. 1.

  • Central European Vegetation
    Plant Formations in the Central European BioProvince Peter Martin Rhind Central European Beech Woodlands Beech (Fagus sylvatica) woods form the natural climax over much of Central Europe where the soils are relatively dry and can extend well into the uplands in the more southern zones. In the north, however, around Sweden it is confined to the lowlands. Beech woodlands are often open with a poorly developed shrub layer, Characteristic ground layer species may include various helleborines such as Cephalanthera damasonium, C. longifolia and C. rubra and sedges such as Carex alba, whilst in others, grasses like Sesleria caerlea or Melica uniflora may predominate, but in some of the more acidic examples, Luzula luzuloides is likely to dominate. There are also a number of endemic ground layer species. For example, in Carpathian beech woods endemics such as Dentaria glandulosa (Brassicaceae), Symphytum cordata (Boraginaceae) and the fern Polystichum braunii (Dryopteridaceae) may be encountered. Fine examples of primeaval beech woods can be found in the limestone Alps of lower Austria including the famous ‘Rothwald’ on the southeastern slopes of Dürrentein near Lunz. These range in altitude from about 940-1480 m. Here the canopy is dominated by Fagus sylvatica together with Acer pseudoplatanus, Picea abies, Ulmus glabra, and on the more acidic soils by Abies alba. Typical shrubs include Daphne mezereum, Lonicera alpigena and Rubus hirtus. At ground level the herb layer is very rich supporting possibly up to a 100 species of vascular plants. Examples include Adenostyles alliariae, Asplenium viridis, Campanula scheuchzeri, Cardamine trifolia, Cicerbita alpina, Denteria enneaphyllos, Euphorbia amygdaloides, Galium austriacum, Homogyne alpina, Lycopodium annotinum, Mycelis muralis, Paris quadrifolia, Phyteuma spicata, Prenanthes purpurea, Senecio fuchsii, Valeriana tripteris, Veratrum album and the central European endemic Helliborus niger (Ranunculaceae).

GILMAN Gilman & Briggs Environmental 1 Conti Circle, Suite 5, Barre, Vermont 05641 [email protected] ABSTRACT Twenty-two species of vascular plants are reported for the state of Vermont, additional to those reported in the recently published New Flora of Vermont. These are Agrimonia parviflora, Althaea officinalis , Aralia elata , Beckmannia syzigachne , Bidens polylepis , Botrychium spathulatum, Carex panicea , Carex rostrata, Eutrochium fistulosum , Ficaria verna, Hypopitys lanuginosa, Juncus conglomeratus, Juncus diffusissimus, Linum striatum, Lipandra polysperma , Matricaria chamomilla, Nabalus racemosus, Pachysandra terminalis, Parthenocissus tricuspidata , Ranunculus auricomus , Rosa arkansana , and Rudbeckia sullivantii. Also new are three varieties: Crataegus irrasa var. irrasa , Crataegus pruinosa var. parvula , and Viola sagittata var. sagittata . Three species that have been reported elsewhere in 2013–2015, Isoetes viridimontana, Naias canadensis , and Solidago brendiae , are also recapitulated. This report and the recently published New Flora of Vermont (Gilman 2015) together summarize knowledge of the vascular flora of Vermont as of this date. The New Flora of Vermont was recently published by The New York Botanical Garden Press (Gilman 2015). It is the first complete accounting of the vascular flora of Vermont since 1969 (Seymour 1969) and adds more than 200 taxa to the then-known flora of the state. However, the manuscript for the New Flora was finalized in spring 2013 and additional species are now known: those that have been observed more recently, that have been recently encountered (or re-discovered) in herbaria, or that were not included because they were under study at the time of finalization.

Acta Biologica Sibirica 7: 49–61 https://doi. org/10.3897/abs.7.e58204 Abstract Elaeagnus angustifolia L. (Russian olive) is a deciduous small tree or large multi-stemmed shrub that becomes invader in different countries all other the world. It is potentially invasive in some regions of Russia. In the beginning of 20th century, it was introduced to the steppe region of Altai Krai (Rus- sia, southwestern Siberia) to prevent wind erosion. During last 20 years, Russian olive starts to create its own natural stands and to influence on native vegetation. This article presents the results of eco- coenotic survey of natural plant communities dominated by Elaeagnus angustifolia L. first described for Siberia and the analysis of their possible syntaxonomic position. The investigation conducted during summer season 2012 in the steppe region of Altai Krai allows revealing one new for Siberia association Elytrigio repentis–Elaeagnetum angustifoliae and no-ranged community Bromopsis inermis–Elae- agnus angustifolia which were included to the Class Nerio–Tamaricetea, to the Order Tamaricetalia ramosissimae.
