Muelleria Vol 32, 2014
Muelleria 33: 85–95 Published online in advance of the print edition, 21 April 2015. Nomenclature, variation and hybridisation in Rough Blown-grass (Poaceae: Lachnagrostis) Austin J. Brown National Herbarium of Victoria, Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne, Birdwood Avenue, South Yarra 3141, Victoria, Australia; tel: +61 3 9252 2300; e-mail: [email protected] Introduction Abstract Variation in Rough Blown-grass (also known as Ruddy, Even or Meagre The name Lachnagrostis scabra ‘(P. Blown-grass) has been previously examined by Brown (2006) with the Beauv.) Nees ex Steud.’ for Rough Blown-grass is found to be a result that Lachnagrostis aequata (Nees) S.W.L.Jacobs (syn. Agrostis misapplication of Lachnagrostis scabra aequata Nees) and L. scabra ‘(P.Beauv.) Nees ex Steud.’ (syn. Agrostis scabra Nees ex Steud. (currently known R.Br. non Willd.) were considered to be the same taxon. In addition, it was as Agrostis pilosula Trin.): an Asiatic found that the name L. aequata had been misapplied to a Tasmanian taxon not found in Australia. The montane taxon, which was subsequently described as L. morrisii A.J.Br. correct name for Rough Blown-grass is Lachnagrostis rudis (Roem. & Schult.) Recent doubt expressed in Tropicos (2014) and APC (2014) concerning Trin. A dwarf form of the species the status of Vilfa scabra P.Beauv. as a new name or a new combination from Flinders Island is described as for A. scabra Willd. or A. scabra R.Br. respectively, has initiated a closer L. rudis subsp. nana A.J.Br., based examination of the name L. scabra Nees ex Steud. -
List of Vascular Plants Endemic to Britain, Ireland and the Channel Islands 2020
British & Irish Botany 2(3): 169-189, 2020 List of vascular plants endemic to Britain, Ireland and the Channel Islands 2020 Timothy C.G. Rich Cardiff, U.K. Corresponding author: Tim Rich: [email protected] This pdf constitutes the Version of Record published on 31st August 2020 Abstract A list of 804 plants endemic to Britain, Ireland and the Channel Islands is broken down by country. There are 659 taxa endemic to Britain, 20 to Ireland and three to the Channel Islands. There are 25 endemic sexual species and 26 sexual subspecies, the remainder are mostly critical apomictic taxa. Fifteen endemics (2%) are certainly or probably extinct in the wild. Keywords: England; Northern Ireland; Republic of Ireland; Scotland; Wales. Introduction This note provides a list of vascular plants endemic to Britain, Ireland and the Channel Islands, updating the lists in Rich et al. (1999), Dines (2008), Stroh et al. (2014) and Wyse Jackson et al. (2016). The list includes endemics of subspecific rank or above, but excludes infraspecific taxa of lower rank and hybrids (for the latter, see Stace et al., 2015). There are, of course, different taxonomic views on some of the taxa included. Nomenclature, taxonomic rank and endemic status follows Stace (2019), except for Hieracium (Sell & Murrell, 2006; McCosh & Rich, 2018), Ranunculus auricomus group (A. C. Leslie in Sell & Murrell, 2018), Rubus (Edees & Newton, 1988; Newton & Randall, 2004; Kurtto & Weber, 2009; Kurtto et al. 2010, and recent papers), Taraxacum (Dudman & Richards, 1997; Kirschner & Štepànek, 1998 and recent papers) and Ulmus (Sell & Murrell, 2018). Ulmus is included with some reservations, as many taxa are largely vegetative clones which may occasionally reproduce sexually and hence may not merit species status (cf. -

NHESP is responsible for the conservation and protection of hundreds of species that are not hunted, fished, trapped, or commercially harvested in the state. The Program's highest priority is protecting the 176 species of vertebrate and invertebrate animals and 259 species of native plants that are officially listed as Endangered, Threatened or of Special Concern in Massachusetts. Endangered species conservation in Massachusetts depends on you! A major source of funding for the protection of rare and endangered species comes from voluntary donations on state income tax forms.

Nat. Croat., Vol. 30, No. 1, 37–52, 2021, Zagreb. From 2016 to 2020 numerous surveys were undertaken to improve the knowledge of the pyraloid moth fauna of Biokovo Nature Park. On August 27th, 2020 one specimen of Psorosa mediterranella (Amsel, 1954) from the family Pyralidae was collected on a small meadow (985 m a.s.l.) on Mt Biok- ovo. In this paper, the first data about the occurrence of this species in Croatia are presented. The previ- ous mention in the literature for Croatia was considered to be a misidentification of the past and has thus not been included in the checklist of Croatian pyraloid moth species. P. mediterranella was recorded for the first time in Croatia in recent investigations and, after other additions to the checklist have been counted, is the 396th species in the Croatian pyraloid moth fauna. An overview of the overall pyraloid moth fauna of Croatia is given in the updated species list.

For each fire promoting species in WOS, we supplemented our determination of whether that species was a fire promoter using the Fire Effects Information System (FEIS; 2).

Translocating Isle of Man Cabbage Coincya Monensis Ssp
Conservation Evidence (2012) 9, 67-71 www.conservationevidence.com Translocating Isle of Man cabbage Coincya monensis ssp. monensis in the sand-dunes of the Sefton coast, Merseyside, UK Philip H. Smith1* & Patricia A. Lockwood2 19 Hayward Court, Watchyard Lane, Formby, Liverpool L37 3QP 213 Stanley Road, Formby, Liverpool L37 7AN *Corresponding author e-mail: [email protected] SUMMARY This paper describes the results of a translocation rescue of the British endemic Isle of Man cabbage Coincya monensis ssp. monensis from a sand-dune ridge at Crosby, Merseyside, which was about to be excavated as a source of sand for a coastal protection scheme at nearby Hightown. Using methods developed during a 1992 translocation, over eight hundred 1st year plants, together with seed-pods, were moved by volunteers to two protected receptor sites at Crosby and Birkdale in August 2011. Monitoring the following summer located small surviving populations at the receptor sites but mortality of transplants appeared to be over 90%, seed germination and establishment contributing most individuals. Low success at Crosby seemed partly attributable to winter sand-blow and heavy public pressure, while vegetation overgrowth may have been an adverse factor at Birkdale. An unexpected finding was that the original Crosby colony survived the removal of most of its habitat, about 1300 plants being counted in 2012 on the levelled dune area. More than half were small seedlings, presumably derived from buried seed. Also, 234 Isle of Man cabbage plants were discovered on the new coastal defence bund at Hightown, having arisen from propagules transported from Crosby. Other known Sefton duneland colonies at Southport Marine Lake and Blundellsands were also monitored, the former having apparently declined to extinction.
