"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. -
Shiny Geranium (Geranium Lucidum)
KING COUNTY NOXIOUS WEED ALERT Shiny Geranium Class B Noxious Weed: Control Required Geranium lucidum Geranium Family Identification Tips • Low-growing annual with tiny, pink, 5-petaled flowers that grow in pairs on short stems • Leaves shiny, round to kidney-shaped with 5-7 lobes • Sepals keeled • Stems reddish, smooth (hairless), up to 20 inches tall • Seeds form in capsules with a long, pointy “crane's bill” Biology Reproduces by seed. Seeds are forcefully ejected when ripe, helping it spread up as well as out from parent plants. This is probably why this plant can be found in crevices of tree trunks or spreading up hillsides. Usually grows as an annual but some plants live for two years. Flowering is from April to July and seeds mature and spread usually from late June Ben Legler by Photo to early July. Seeds germinate mostly in late summer to early fall, but can Look for pairs of tiny pink flowers, germinate several times a year. winged sepals with “keels”, and shiny, rounded, lobed leaves. Impacts Can invade and overwhelm high quality native habitat in forests and grasslands. Spreads quickly by seed and forms dense carpets, excluding other vegetation. Contaminates nursery stock and can be accidentally introduced to landscaped areas and restoration sites. Distribution Introduced from Europe and Asia. In the Pacific Northwest, most abundant in Oregon in the Willamette Valley and the Portland area. Also increasingly found in many counties of western Washington. In King County, it is found in both urban and rural areas in yards, woodlands, roadsides and spreading from landscaped areas. -
The Geranium Family, Geraniaceae, and the Mallow Family, Malvaceae
THE GERANIUM FAMILY, GERANIACEAE, AND THE MALLOW FAMILY, MALVACEAE TWO SOMETIMES CONFUSED FAMILIES PROMINENT IN SOME MEDITERRANEAN CLIMATE AREAS The Geraniaceae is a family of herbaceous plants or small shrubs, sometimes with succulent stems • The family is noted for its often palmately veined and lobed leaves, although some also have pinnately divided leaves • The leaves all have pairs of stipules at their base • The flowers may be regular and symmetrical or somewhat irregular • The floral plan is 5 separate sepals and petals, 5 or 10 stamens, and a superior ovary • The most distinctive feature is the beak of fused styles on top of the ovary Here you see a typical geranium flower This nonnative weedy geranium shows the styles forming a beak The geranium family is also noted for its seed dispersal • The styles either actively eject the seeds from each compartment of the ovary or… • They twist and embed themselves in clothing and fur to hitch a ride • The Geraniaceae is prominent in the Mediterranean Basin and the Cape Province of South Africa • It is also found in California but few species here are drought tolerant • California does have several introduced weedy members Here you see a geranium flinging the seeds from sections of the ovary when the styles curl up Three genera typify the Geraniaceae: Erodium, Geranium, and Pelargonium • Erodiums (common name filaree or clocks) typically have pinnately veined, sometimes dissected leaves; many species are weeds in California • Geraniums (that is, the true geraniums) typically have palmately veined leaves and perfectly symmetrical flowers. Most are herbaceous annuals or perennials • Pelargoniums (the so-called garden geraniums or storksbills) have asymmetrical flowers and range from perennials to succulents to shrubs The weedy filaree, Erodium cicutarium, produces small pink-purple flowers in California’s spring grasslands Here are the beaked unripe fruits of filaree Many of the perennial erodiums from the Mediterranean make well-behaved ground covers for California gardens Here are the flowers of the charming E. -

HERB ROBERT (Geranium Robertianum) of the Geraniaceae family Also known by the names of - Herb Robertianum, St. Robert, Storkbill, Cranesbill, Red Robin, Fox geranium, St. Robert’s Wort, Bloodwort, Felonwort, Dragon’s blood. This list of common names gives a rather vivid description, of a small plant that I have come to revere, and it is always welcome, in my garden. Description Annual, to 30-40cm, stems branch in many directions, and these stems may turn red, in colour. Green leaves, 6cm long, form opposite, at knotted joints in the stem; leaves are palmate in shape, deeply cut, and often tinged with colours of pink, red or bronze. Stems and leaves are covered with very fine hairs. Very dainty, bright-pink, ‘joy giving’ flowers, 15mm across, have five, rounded petals. Each petal has 3 streaks of white, starting at the centre and phasing out along the petal. Flowers develop, in groups of 2 or 4, at leaf axils. The base of the blossom quickly fills out, develops into the oval seed receptacle, 17mm long, and when mature, looks like a bird’s beak, which is why the plant has been given the common names: ‘storkbill’ and ‘cranesbill’. As the seeds dry off, nature has a way of dispersing: by opening the ‘beak’ and ejecting with a sudden spring action, flinging the 5 small, oval seeds in five directions, ensuring that there will be future generations of the plant, for mankind’s use. I believe this plant should be in every garden, ready for service. Propagation is by seed. Plants thrive in shady, damp places, growing very quickly, flowering profusely, and self-seeding readily: if the seed is not picked, before it is dry. -
Outline of Angiosperm Phylogeny
Outline of angiosperm phylogeny: orders, families, and representative genera with emphasis on Oregon native plants Priscilla Spears December 2013 The following listing gives an introduction to the phylogenetic classification of the flowering plants that has emerged in recent decades, and which is based on nucleic acid sequences as well as morphological and developmental data. This listing emphasizes temperate families of the Northern Hemisphere and is meant as an overview with examples of Oregon native plants. It includes many exotic genera that are grown in Oregon as ornamentals plus other plants of interest worldwide. The genera that are Oregon natives are printed in a blue font. Genera that are exotics are shown in black, however genera in blue may also contain non-native species. Names separated by a slash are alternatives or else the nomenclature is in flux. When several genera have the same common name, the names are separated by commas. The order of the family names is from the linear listing of families in the APG III report. For further information, see the references on the last page. Basal Angiosperms (ANITA grade) Amborellales Amborellaceae, sole family, the earliest branch of flowering plants, a shrub native to New Caledonia – Amborella Nymphaeales Hydatellaceae – aquatics from Australasia, previously classified as a grass Cabombaceae (water shield – Brasenia, fanwort – Cabomba) Nymphaeaceae (water lilies – Nymphaea; pond lilies – Nuphar) Austrobaileyales Schisandraceae (wild sarsaparilla, star vine – Schisandra; Japanese -

Pharmacognostic Investigation of the Leaves and Rhizome of Geranium
Journal of Medicinal Plants Research Vol. 6(3), pp. 504-509, 23 January, 2012 Available online at http://www.academicjournals.org/JMPR DOI: 10.5897/JMPR11.1342 ISSN 1996-0875 ©2012 Academic Journals Full Length Research Paper Pharmacognostic investigation of the leaves and rhizomes of Geranium wallichianum D. Don ex Sweet Muhammad Ismail1*, Muhammad Ibrar2, Shafiq ur Rahman1 and Uzma Niaz3 1Department of Pharmacy, University of Peshawar, Pakistan. 2Department of Botany, University of Peshawar, Pakistan. 3 University College of Pharmacy, University of the Punjab, Lahore, Pakistan. Accepted 8 November, 2011 Pharmacognostic investigation of the fresh powdered and anatomical section of the leaves and rhizomes of Geranium wallichianum was carried out to determine its morphological, histological and physicochemical characteristics. Macro and microscopic studies indicated that leaves are large, simple, petiolate, stipulate and palmatisect with five lobes. Lamina was 4 to 11 cm in diameter and green on the upper surface and light green on the lower surface. Venation was reticulate, multicostate and divergent. The upper epidermal cells were slightly larger then the lower ones. Orbicular anomocytic stomata were present on the lower epidermis. Below the upper epidermis was a single layered columnar celled palisade parenchyma filled with chloroplast pigments and contain aggregates of calcium oxalate crystals. Rhizomes were brown, stout, vertical, and 0.3 to 0.7 cm in diameter. Vascular bundles were about 6 to 8 groups, each consisting an outer phloem and inner radiate xylem. Physicochemical parameters such as total ash, water soluble ash and acid insoluble ash values were calculated. The results of the study will possibly provide diagnostic parameters for the quality, purity and correct identification of this plant material. -
