  • Sagittaria Policy
    Declared Plant Policy This policy relates to natural resources management under section 9(1)(d) of the Landscape South Australia Act 2019 (the Act), enabling co-ordinated implementation and promotion of sound management programs and practices for the use, development or protection of natural resources of the State. Specifically, this policy provides guidance on the use and management of natural resources relating to the prevention or control of impacts caused by pest species of plants that may have an adverse effect on the environment, primary production or the community, as per object s7(1)(f) of the Act. sagittaria (Sagittaria platyphylla) Sagittaria is an emergent aquatic plant that is rare in South Australia. In the eastern States it is a problem weed that obstructs drains and irrigation channels. It resembles giant arrowhead, Sagittaria montevidensis, which is not known in South Australia, but is established in New South Wales and Victoria, and is the subject of a separate policy. Management Plan for Sagittaria Outcomes • Maintain waterways free of blockages by water weeds. • Maintain wetlands free of major weed threats. Objectives • Eradicate current infestations on the Murray and in dams in the Mount Lofty ranges • Prevent further introduction of sagittaria to waterways and wetlands. Best Practice Implementation • Any infestations of sagittaria discovered to be treated as incursions and destroyed. • To prevent introduction or spread, any sale and movement to be prohibited. • Regional landscape boards and Green Adelaide to inspect

  • Estuary Arrowhead Natural Heritage Sagittaria Montevidensis & Endangered Species Cham
    Estuary Arrowhead Natural Heritage Sagittaria montevidensis & Endangered Species Cham. & Schlecht Program ssp. spongiosa (Englem.) Bogin www.mass.gov/nhesp State Status: Endangered Massachusetts Division of Fisheries & Wildlife Federal Status: None DESCRIPTION: Estuary Arrowhead is a spongy aquatic member of the Water-plantain family (Alismataceae). Like other species in this family, plants are rooted to the substrate with septate roots. The leaves are modified into narrow (4–18 cm long, 0.5–1 cm wide), spongy phyllodia, and the tips of the leaves are slightly expanded and spatula-like (or rarely more sagittate). Erect peduncles bear one to four whorls of white, inconspicuous flowers; flowers may also be solitary. Fruiting heads (1.2–2.1 cm in diameter) are comprised of a cluster of small, flattened achenes, each narrowly winged on the margins and with a short lateral beak. AIDS TO IDENTIFICATION: Estuary Arrowhead is the only annual arrowhead species in New England and Estuary Arrowhead has small white flowers growing on erect peduncles. This aquatic annual is submerged at high tide. one of a few arrowheads that occupy tidally-influenced Photo by Don Cameron, Maine Natural Areas Program. habitats. It is best identified when in flower or fruit. Estuary Arrowhead can be recognized by its erect, basal lobes. Inflorescences are supported by thick, spongy leaves with spatulate tips. In rare instances, this relatively short peduncles that are usually shorter than species may have expanded blades, typically without the leaves, and thick, spongy pedicels. The flowers are perfect (at least the lowermost ones), with erect, appressed sepals that enclose the flower and fruiting head.

    Vascular Plant Species of the Comanche National Grassland in United States Department Southeastern Colorado of Agriculture Forest Service Donald L. Hazlett Rocky Mountain Research Station General Technical Report RMRS-GTR-130 June 2004 Hazlett, Donald L. 2004. Vascular plant species of the Comanche National Grassland in southeast- ern Colorado. Gen. Tech. Rep. RMRS-GTR-130. Fort Collins, CO: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 36 p. Abstract This checklist has 785 species and 801 taxa (for taxa, the varieties and subspecies are included in the count) in 90 plant families. The most common plant families are the grasses (Poaceae) and the sunflower family (Asteraceae). Of this total, 513 taxa are definitely known to occur on the Comanche National Grassland. The remaining 288 taxa occur in nearby areas of southeastern Colorado and may be discovered on the Comanche National Grassland. The Author Dr. Donald L. Hazlett has worked as an ecologist, botanist, ethnobotanist, and teacher in Latin America and in Colorado. He has specialized in the flora of the eastern plains since 1985. His many years in Latin America prompted him to include Spanish common names in this report, names that are seldom reported in floristic pub- lications. He is also compiling plant folklore stories for Great Plains plants. Since Don is a native of Otero county, this project was of special interest.

  • D: Rare Plants Species and Wildlife Habitats
    Appendix D – Rare Plant Species and Wildlife Habitats Rare Plant Species and Wildlife Habitats The habitat profiles created for the Wildlife Action Plan have been developed for the purpose of describing the full range of habitats that support New Hampshire’s wildlife species. However, these habitats can also serve as useful units for identifying rare plant habitats. This appendix provides lists of rare plant species known to be associated with each WAP habitat type. In accordance with the Native Plant Protection Act (NH RSA 217-A), the New Hampshire Natural Heritage Bureau (NHB) maintains a list of the state’s rarest and most imperiled plant species. This list has been developed in cooperation with researchers, conservation organizations, and knowledgeable amateur botanists. Plant locations have been obtained from sources including herbarium specimens, personal contacts, the scientific literature, and through extensive field research. The list is updated regularly to reflect changes in information. For each habitat, a list of associated rare plant species is presented. These rare plant – habitat associations are based on known occurrences of each species in New Hampshire. It is possible that an individual species will have different habitat associations elsewhere in its range. For more information on dominant and characteristic plant species for each habitat, refer to the individual habitat profiles. For each species, the following information is provided: Scientific name: The primary reference used is: Haines, Arthur. 2011. Flora Novae Angliae: A Manual for the Identification of Native and Naturalized Higher Vascular Plants of New England. Yale University Press. New Haven and London. Common name: Many plant species have more than one common name, and some common names are applied to multiple species.

    First Miocene megafossil of arrowhead, alismataceous plant Sagittaria, from South America JUAN M. ROBLEDO, SILVINA A. CONTRERAS, JOHANNA S. BAEZ, and CLAUDIA I. GALLI Robledo, J.M., Contreras, S.A., Baez, J.S., and Galli, C.I. 2021. First Miocene megafossil of arrowhead, alismataceous plant Sagittaria, from South America. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 66 (Supplement to 3): S111–S122. The first pre-Quaternary representative of Alismataceae from South America is reported based on achenes of Sagittaria montevidensis from the Palo Pintado Formation (upper Miocene) in the south of Salta Province, Argentina. Achenes are laterally compressed, have a lateral beak and a single recurved seed inside them. The fruits were found both in the base (10 Ma) and the top of the formation (~5 Ma), suggesting similar environmental conditions during this time period. A cursory review of the Alismataceae family in the fossil record, with a special interest in those South American reports is given. During the Oligocene–Miocene Sagittaria may have arrived from tropical Africa to South America and thence to North America.
