Annual Wildflower Checklist — 2015 33rd Annual Spring Wildflower Count Brown County and Monroe County Held in conjunction with the 30th Annual Wildflower Foray 24–26 April 2015 Checklist compiled by Kay Yatskievych [[email protected]] TOTAL ALL: 305 species (228 native, 77 introduced) Names included in the list have been found in flower (except Ferns and Allies) on at least one previous Wildflower Count. Names in bold are native species. Names unbolded and in SMALL CAPS are introduced species. Species with subspecies or varieties have the ones found in Indiana listed (but some may not have been found in Brown or Monroe counties). B ___ are species that have been recorded from Brown County. M ___ are species that have been recorded from Monroe County. – ___ indicates it has not yet been recorded for the county. WILDFLOWERS, VINES, AND SHRUBLETS (small woody species easily mistaken for wildflowers) Total: 216 species (149 native, 67 introduced) Numbers preceding the scientific names are ones used in the Field Guide to Indiana Wildflowers by Kay Yatskievych (2000). The primary color of the flower is listed after each entry. This is usually the petals but in a few cases is from the color of the stamens. If two or more colors are listed, this indicates that there are different color forms of the species. Secondary colors are not listed. Plants that have separate ♂ (male, staminate) and ♀ (female, pistillate) flowers have the color listed for each of those.

  • Lonicera Maackii Amur Honeysuckle
    Lonicera maackii (F.J. Ruprecht) C.J. Maximowicz Amur Honeysuckle (Caprifolium maackii, Xylosteon maackii) • Lonicera maackii is also known as Bush Honeysuckle; Amur Honeysuckle, which is a native of temperate Asia, forms a large deciduous irregular twiggy mound 12 to 15 tall with a similar or greater spread; growth rates can be rapid and plants can crowd out native vegetation; this is facilitated by the ability of Amur Honeysuckle to tolerate heavy shade until released; the gray pubescent buds of L. maackii can be distinguished from those of L. tatarica which are flattened and glabrous; the bluish green to medium green leaves of L. maackii are longer, 2 to 3 long, have mostly broadly cuneate to occasionally rounded bases, and acute to long acuminate tips while the medium to dark green leaves of L. tatarica are on average shorter, 1½ to 2½ long, with rounded to slightly cordate bases, and acute to short acuminate tips; new twigs have a whitish pubescence and may be flushed purple-red, later maturing to a gray-brown; excavated brown pith is present between the solid nodes; fall colors vary from almost nonexistent to a poor yellow; the tan-brown to gray- brown bark of old trunks develops vertical thin exfoliations. • A profusion of ¾ to 1 long white flowers are borne in spring, fading to a creamy yellow as they mature; flowers are generally reminiscent of those of L. japonica, flowers are produced in spring, occurring during or shortly after the foliage emerges; the flowers are followed by shiny, bright red, ¼to ½ diameter berries, produced mostly in one to two pairs per node, which hold into late winter if not eaten by birds or other wildlife.

  • Guide to the Flora of the Carolinas, Virginia, and Georgia, Working Draft of 17 March 2004 -- LILIACEAE
    Guide to the Flora of the Carolinas, Virginia, and Georgia, Working Draft of 17 March 2004 -- LILIACEAE LILIACEAE de Jussieu 1789 (Lily Family) (also see AGAVACEAE, ALLIACEAE, ALSTROEMERIACEAE, AMARYLLIDACEAE, ASPARAGACEAE, COLCHICACEAE, HEMEROCALLIDACEAE, HOSTACEAE, HYACINTHACEAE, HYPOXIDACEAE, MELANTHIACEAE, NARTHECIACEAE, RUSCACEAE, SMILACACEAE, THEMIDACEAE, TOFIELDIACEAE) As here interpreted narrowly, the Liliaceae constitutes about 11 genera and 550 species, of the Northern Hemisphere. There has been much recent investigation and re-interpretation of evidence regarding the upper-level taxonomy of the Liliales, with strong suggestions that the broad Liliaceae recognized by Cronquist (1981) is artificial and polyphyletic. Cronquist (1993) himself concurs, at least to a degree: "we still await a comprehensive reorganization of the lilies into several families more comparable to other recognized families of angiosperms." Dahlgren & Clifford (1982) and Dahlgren, Clifford, & Yeo (1985) synthesized an early phase in the modern revolution of monocot taxonomy. Since then, additional research, especially molecular (Duvall et al. 1993, Chase et al. 1993, Bogler & Simpson 1995, and many others), has strongly validated the general lines (and many details) of Dahlgren's arrangement. The most recent synthesis (Kubitzki 1998a) is followed as the basis for familial and generic taxonomy of the lilies and their relatives (see summary below). References: Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (1998, 2003); Tamura in Kubitzki (1998a). Our “liliaceous” genera (members of orders placed in the Lilianae) are therefore divided as shown below, largely following Kubitzki (1998a) and some more recent molecular analyses. ALISMATALES TOFIELDIACEAE: Pleea, Tofieldia. LILIALES ALSTROEMERIACEAE: Alstroemeria COLCHICACEAE: Colchicum, Uvularia. LILIACEAE: Clintonia, Erythronium, Lilium, Medeola, Prosartes, Streptopus, Tricyrtis, Tulipa. MELANTHIACEAE: Amianthium, Anticlea, Chamaelirium, Helonias, Melanthium, Schoenocaulon, Stenanthium, Veratrum, Toxicoscordion, Trillium, Xerophyllum, Zigadenus.

  • How to Identify New Brunswick Violets
    How to Identify New Brunswick Violets Sponsored by the New Brunswick Botany Club Introduction : Violets are always exciting to find while walking in the field in early summer. They are so easy to identify as to their genus. However, most people will stop there, because they are not easy to identify at the species level - many minute characteristics must be examined...and they easily form difficult to describe hybrids. Approached in the right mix of adventurousness and humility, sorting out violets can be fun. However, should efforts end in exasperation, just keep in mind that the violets never read the botany books. (Choukas-Bradley 2004). In order to correctly identify violets the following features must be examined : these are stems, leaves and flowers. Above-ground stems are : a) acaulescent (stemless) b) caulescent (stemmed) In acaulescent species the rhizomes or stolons gives rise to a crown of basal leaves and flowers. Care should be taken to assess the position of leaves since some species (i.e. Viola adunca and Viola labradorica - caulescent species) may have very short (less than 1 cm) stems at flowering and may appear acaulescent. Below-ground stems are : a) slender rhizome b) stout rhizome c) taproot Rhizomes are slender (mostly 1 to 3 mm thick) and travel horizontally underground, or stout (mostly 4 to 6 mm thick) and are usually oriented vertically underground - these are the perennials. Annuals have a vertical, fibrous root known as a taproot. To evaluate a slender versus a stout rhizome in the field, just place your thumb and index vertically around the base of a plant, near the soil.

Look-a-likes: see photos below Other Lonicera:4 - L. morrowii, L. quinuelocularis & L. tatarica (non-natives) Weed distinction4, 9, 14 Amur honeysuckle blooms later than other honeysuckles and has short pedicils with nearly sessile flowers and berries.
