  • Fallopia Japonica – Japanese Knotweed
    Fallopia japonica – Japanese knotweed Japanese knotweed, sometimes referred to What is it? as donkey rhubarb for its sour red spring shoots, is a perennial plant in the Buckwheat family (Polygonaceae). It has large broad green leaves; tall, thick, sectioned and somewhat reddish zigzagging stems; and racemes of small papery flowers in summer. Photo by Liz West 2007 Other scientific names (synonyms) for Japanese knotweed are Reynoutria japonica and Polygonum cuspidatum. When does it grow? Shoots emerge from rhizomes (modified underground stems) from late March to mid-April. A spring freeze or deep frost can top kill new growth, but new shoots readily crop up from the hardy rootstalks. Growth continues rapidly once the weather begins to warm reaching heights up to 10 feet or greater by summer. R. Buczynski 2020 4.15.2020 Where is it from? Japanese knotweed is native to eastern Asia and was introduced to the United Kingdom in the 1800’s as a vigorous garden ornamental. Before becoming illegal to plant in England it was horticulturally introduced from the UK to the United States. Where is it now? Japanese knotweed has been reported extensively in the Northeastern U. S. and is currently present in all three counties (Hunterdon, Morris, and Somerset) within the upper Raritan watershed where it continues to spread into moist disturbed areas along waterways. Photo by Roger Kidd © Why is it invasive? Although knotweed can spread by seed, it is most effective at spreading underground via rhizomes that extend outward as well as downward, producing new shoots up to 70 feet away. If detached from the plant, small fragments of rhizome can survive and produce new plants wherever they land.

  • The Japanese Knotweed Invasion Viewed As a Vast Unintentional Hybridisation Experiment
    Heredity (2013) 110, 105–110 & 2013 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved 0018-067X/13 www.nature.com/hdy ORIGINAL ARTICLE The Japanese knotweed invasion viewed as a vast unintentional hybridisation experiment J Bailey Chromosome counts of plants grown from open-pollinated seed from Japanese knotweed around the world have revealed the presence of extensive hybridisation with both native and other introduced taxa. These hybrids fit into three categories: inter- and intraspecific hybrids involving the taxa of Fallopia section Reynoutria (giant knotweeds), hybrids between Japanese knotweed and F. baldschuanica (Regel) Holub and hybrids between Japanese knotweed and the Australasian endemics of the genus Muehlenbeckia. In this minireview, the viability of the different classes of hybrid and the potential threats they pose are discussed in the context of recent examples of allopolyploid speciation, which generally involve hybridisation between a native and an alien species. Such wide hybridisations also challenge accepted taxonomic classifications. Japanese knotweed s.l. provides a fascinating example of the interplay between ploidy level, hybridisation and alien plant invasion. The octoploid (2n ¼ 88) Fallopia japonica var. japonica (Houtt.) Ronse Decraene is a single female clone throughout much of its adventive range, and provides an ideal system for investigating the potential for wide hybridisation.

This paper includes a standard maximum parsimony (MP) and three-taxon statement analyses (3TA) as well as a taxonomic revision of Polygonum sect. Avicularia subsect. Spinescentia (Polygonaceae) as compared with two closely related taxa: genus Atraphaxis s.s., and genus Bactria. In total, 27 characters, including life history, habit, morphology of the shoots, leaf blades, ocreas, perianth, achene, ultrasculpture of perianth and achene surfaces, as well as pollen morphology, were analyzed, illustrated, and dis- cussed in detail. Both the standard MP and 3TA confirm that monophyletic Polygonum subsect. Spinescentia is sister to the narrowly defined Atraphaxis. The genus Persepolium (Polygonum subsect. Spinescentia), with the circumscription of five species, is established as new to science as a result of this study. Possible transformations of perianth and thyrse morphology are discussed within the framework of the Principle of variable proportions by Troll in connection with a shift of pollination mode in the group of taxa studied.

A. Mey. and allied taxa from Central Asia and the Caucasus (Polygonaceae) Olga V. Yurtseva, Maria S. Levina, Elena E. Severova & Alexey V. Troitsky Summary: A taxonomic review of Polygonum ser. Cognata Kom. distributed in Southwest Asia, Central Asia and South Siberia is presented. A phylogenetic reconstruction of the genus Polygonum based on ITS 1-5.8S-ITS 2 rDNA sequences demonstrates the division of Polygonum into several clades, corresponding to: 1) section Duravia combined with Polygonella, 2) section Polygonum comprising the species from temperate climate regions of the Northern Hemisphere, 3) a vast group of Middle and Central Asiatic species, including two members of section Pseudomollia, i.e. P. molliiforme and P. bornmuelleri, nested among other species. Therefore a taxonomic revision of this group is required. Heterogeneity of ser. Cognata was evident by placing P. cognatum, P. myrtillifolium and P. serpyllaceum in one subclade and P. alpestre and P. fibrilliferum in another subclade. The morphological analysis of ser. Cognata using analysis of growth forms, leaves, ochreas, flowers, achenes and pollen grains revealed clear diagnostic differences which are extensively illustrated. Ser. Cognata Kom. is artificial comprising three taxonomically distant species: 1) P. alpestre C. A. Mey. including P. ammanioides Jaub. et Spach, 2) P. fibrilliferum Kom., 3) P. cognatum Meisn.

Abstract: The Asian knotweed species complex gathers some of the world’s most successful plant invaders including the Japanese knotweed (Reynoutria japonica), the giant knotweed (R. sachalinensis) and the hybrid of these two species, the Bohemian knotweed (R. × bohemica). Hybrid species often present higher competitive abilities compared to their parent species. While several studies have focused on the effects of knotweed invasion on plant communities, few have simultaneously con- sidered (i) effects of the three taxa on native plant communities and (ii) effects on litter and soil faunal components. In this study, we compared the differential effects of three Asian knotweeds on vegetation and soil macroinvertebrates communities across seven sites on a regional scale in North Western France. All three knotweed species displayed similar negative effects on local plant species Citation: Neupert, M.; Margerie, P.; richness, while promoting the taxonomic richness of litter-dwelling macroinvertebrates.

  • What Is Atraphaxis L. (Polygonaceae, Polygoneae
    What is Atraphaxis L. (Polygonaceae, Polygoneae): cryptic taxa and resolved taxonomic complexity instead of the formal lumping and the lack of morphological synapomorphies Olga V.

Lomonosov Moscow State University, Moscow, Russia 2 Herbarium, Tsitsin Main Botanical Garden, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, Russia 3 Eastside High School, Gainesville, Florida, USA 4 Florida Museum of Natural History, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida, USA ABSTRACT Background: The recently proposed recircumscription of the genus Atraphaxis (incl. Atraphaxis section Ovczinnikovia O.V. Yurtseva ex. S. Tavakkoli and Polygonum sect. Spinescentia Boissier (=A. sect. Polygonoides S. Tavakkoli, Kaz. Osaloo & Mozaff.) makes this genus fairly heterogeneous and therefore almost undefinable based on morphology. A critical comprehensive reappraisal of the group is necessary. Methods: Using the DNA sequence data (ITS1&2 regions of nrDNA and combined trnL intron + trnL–F IGS and rpl32–trnL(UAG) IGS regions of plastid genome), Maximum Likelihood (ML) and Bayesian analyses (BI) were applied for phylogenetic reconstructions of the tribe Polygoneae with special attention to Atraphaxis, and related taxa. Maximum parsimony reconstructions of the evolution of perianth morphology and sporoderm ornamentation in the tribe Polygoneae were also performed. Life history, morphology of shoots, leaf blades, ocreas, perianth and Submitted 18 January 2016 achene morphology, ultrasculpture of achene surface, and pollen morphology were 5 April 2016 Accepted compared, and SEM and LM images were provided. Published 3May2016 Principal findings: The genera Atraphaxis and Polygonum were found to be widely Corresponding author Olga V.
