  • A List of Grasses and Grasslike Plants of the Oak Openings, Lucas County
    A LIST OF THE GRASSES AND GRASSLIKE PLANTS OF THE OAK OPENINGS, LUCAS COUNTY, OHIO1 NATHAN WILLIAM EASTERLY Department of Biology, Bowling Green State University, Bowling Green, Ohio 4-3403 ABSTRACT This report is the second of a series of articles to be prepared as a second "Flora of the Oak Openings." The study represents a comprehensive survey of members of the Cyperaceae, Gramineae, Juncaceae, Sparganiaceae, and Xyridaceae in the Oak Openings region. Of the 202 species listed in this study, 34 species reported by Moseley in 1928 were not found during the present investigation. Fifty-seven species found by the present investi- gator were not observed or reported by Moseley. Many of these species or varieties are rare and do not represent a stable part of the flora. Changes in species present or in fre- quency of occurrence of species collected by both Moseley and Easterly may be explained mainly by the alteration of habitats as the Oak Openings region becomes increasingly urbanized or suburbanized. Some species have increased in frequency on the floodplain of Swan Creek, in wet ditches and on the banks of the Norfolk and Western Railroad right-of-way, along newly constructed roadsides, or on dry sandy sites. INTRODUCTION The grass family ranks third among the large plant families of the world. The family ranks number one as far as total numbers of plants that cover fields, mead- ows, or roadsides are concerned. No other family is used as extensively to pro- vide food or shelter or to create a beautiful landscape. The sedge family does not fare as well in terms of commercial importance, but the sedges do make avail- able forage and food for wild fowl and they do contribute plant cover in wet areas where other plants would not be as well adapted.

  • WETLAND PLANTS – Full Species List (English) RECORDING FORM
    WETLAND PLANTS – full species list (English) RECORDING FORM Surveyor Name(s) Pond name Date e.g. John Smith (if known) Square: 4 fig grid reference Pond: 8 fig grid ref e.g. SP1243 (see your map) e.g. SP 1235 4325 (see your map) METHOD: wetland plants (full species list) survey Survey a single Focal Pond in each 1km square Aim: To assess pond quality and conservation value using plants, by recording all wetland plant species present within the pond’s outer boundary. How: Identify the outer boundary of the pond. This is the ‘line’ marking the pond’s highest yearly water levels (usually in early spring). It will probably not be the current water level of the pond, but should be evident from the extent of wetland vegetation (for example a ring of rushes growing at the pond’s outer edge), or other clues such as water-line marks on tree trunks or stones. Within the outer boundary, search all the dry and shallow areas of the pond that are accessible. Survey deeper areas with a net or grapnel hook. Record wetland plants found by crossing through the names on this sheet. You don’t need to record terrestrial species. For each species record its approximate abundance as a percentage of the pond’s surface area. Where few plants are present, record as ‘<1%’. If you are not completely confident in your species identification put’?’ by the species name. If you are really unsure put ‘??’. After your survey please enter the results online: www.freshwaterhabitats.org.uk/projects/waternet/ Aquatic plants (submerged-leaved species) Stonewort, Bristly (Chara hispida) Bistort, Amphibious (Persicaria amphibia) Arrowhead (Sagittaria sagittifolia) Stonewort, Clustered (Tolypella glomerata) Crystalwort, Channelled (Riccia canaliculata) Arrowhead, Canadian (Sagittaria rigida) Stonewort, Common (Chara vulgaris) Crystalwort, Lizard (Riccia bifurca) Arrowhead, Narrow-leaved (Sagittaria subulata) Stonewort, Convergent (Chara connivens) Duckweed , non-native sp.

  • 1 PLANT REMAINS Pat Hinton a Series of 72 Bulk Samples Were Processed by Standard Flotation Methods with 'Flots' Retained On
    PLANT REMAINS Pat Hinton (The cross-references denoted ‘CQ’ in this paper relate to Charter Quay, The Spirit of Change, Wessex Archaeology 2003) A series of 72 bulk samples were processed by standard flotation methods with ‘flots’ retained on 0.5mm mesh and residues saved on 1.0mm mesh. The flots were inspected by Sarah Wyles and after nineteen samples were selected for analysis, all significant items extracted from the residues by S. Wyles. Most samples were selected to answer specific questions about the function and nature of specific features or layers and so are reported as such below. Methods All but the very smallest samples of dried flots were passed through a stack of sieves of 7.0mm to 0.5mm. mesh sizes to facilitate sorting. All were sorted by stereo microscope at x7 – x40 magnification, according to mesh size, and with x160-x200 for some, eg Carex spp. (sedges). The largest fractions were searched in entirety and the sometimes very large amounts of finer material sub-sampled. Unsorted parts of the samples were later more quickly scanned in order to recover less common items. Estimated results are indicated in the Table PL1. Taxa are separated into probable original habitats, but although some are characteristic others may grow in alternative conditions. All taxa are represented by ‘seeds’ unless otherwise indicated, the word being used loosely to include fruits, achenes, caryopses etc. Nomenclature accords with Stace (1997) with scientific names used at first mention only. Results The majority of the remains were preserved by charring, but several later samples include uncharred seeds in differing states of preservation, which are apparently contemporary with the deposits.

  • Overview on Alien Carex Species of Section Cyperoideae (Including Ovales) in Europe and the Discovery of Carex Scoparia in Austria
    Ann. Naturhist. Mus. Wien, B 118 115–127 Wien, Jänner 2016 Overview on alien Carex species of section Cyperoideae (including Ovales) in Europe and the discovery of Carex scoparia in Austria B. Wallnöfer* & F. Essl** Abstract Based on an extensive survey of literature, a compilation of the alien Carex species of section Cyperoideae (including section Ovales) in Europe is presented. In total, nine species (C. bebbii, C. brevior, C. crawfordii, C. cristatella, C. muskingumensis, C. pachystachya, C. praticola, C. scoparia, and C. tribuloides) have been recorded as aliens so far. In addition the nomenclature of C. bebbii (OLNEY ex BAILEY) FERNALD is discussed. The invasion history and ecology of the North American Carex scoparia is presented in detail. It was first recorded in Europe in 1982 in Slovakia, and has recently been found in Belgium and the Netherlands. In Austria it was found by the second author for the first time in 2009 in Upper Austria. Since then, the population size has substantially increased and the species has become locally established in a disturbed wetland, dominated by species of wet tall herb and reed vegetation. To document the further spread of alien Carex species in Europe, their inclusion into standard floras is highly recommended. Key words: alien species, neophytes, Carex scoparia (broom sedge), C. bebbii, C. brevior, C. crawfordii, C. cristatella, C. muskingumensis, C. pachystachya, C. praticola, C. tribuloides, C. section Cyperoideae, C. section Ovales, Cyperaceae, Flora of Austria. Zusammenfassung Eine Zusammenstellung der fremdländischen Carex-Arten aus der Sektion Cyperoideae (inklusive Sektion Ovales) in Europa wird, basierend auf einer umfassenden Literaturauswertung, präsentiert.

  • Flowers and Ferns of Bute
    Flowers and ferns of Bute A check-list with notes With its varied habitats of shoreline, hedgerow, hill, moor and bog, freshwater lochs, ravine woodland, fossil cliffs and raised beach marshes, Bute has much to offer the botanist. This booklet lists all the flowering plants and ferns recorded on the island (over 750 in total), with notes on their frequency, distribution, status and habitat preferences. The check-list was compiled by Angus Hannah, vascular plant recorder for vice-county 100 (Clyde Islands) on behalf of the BSBI (Botanical Society of Britain and Ireland) BSBI is the leading charitable society promoting the study and enjoyment of British and Irish wild plants. More information will be found on the website at www.bsbi.org.uk Introduction Plant recording on Bute has a long history, but between the bursts of activity there have been long periods in which little was done. In June 1768 James Robertson spent ten days on Bute in the course of his journey around western Scotland in the service of Dr Hope of the Edinburgh Physic Garden. At the request of the 3rd Earl of Bute, himself a notable botanist, Robertson prepared a list of Bute plants observed during his visit. This list, preserved in the Mountstuart archive, with a copy in Bute Museum, gives the first island records for some 350 species. But well over a century was to elapse before a list of Bute plants was finally published. When John Ballantyne presented his List to the Natural History Society of Glasgow in 1906, he drew attention to its preliminary nature, while expressing his confidence that members of then newly formed Buteshire Natural History Society would make good its deficiencies ‘in the near future’.
