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. Contributions go to the Natural Heritage & Endangered Species Fund, which provides a portion of the operating budget for the Natural Heritage & Endangered Species Program. NHESP protects rare species through biological inventory, -

Suitability of Root and Rhizome Anatomy for Taxonomic

Academic Editor: Reinhard Länger Received: 18 August 2015; Accepted: 27 May 2016; Published: 27 May 2016 Abstract: The value of root and rhizome anatomy for the taxonomic characterisation of 59 species classified into 34 genera and 12 subtribes from the Asteraceae tribes Cardueae and Cichorieae was assessed. In addition, the evolutionary history of anatomical characters was reconstructed using a nuclear ribosomal DNA sequence-based phylogeny of the Cichorieae. Taxa were selected with a focus on pharmaceutically relevant species. A binary decision tree was constructed and discriminant function analyses were performed to extract taxonomically relevant anatomical characters and to infer the separability of infratribal taxa, respectively. The binary decision tree distinguished 33 species and two subspecies, but only five of the genera (sampled for at least two species) by a unique combination of hierarchically arranged characters. Accessions were discriminated—except for one sample worthy of discussion—according to their subtribal affiliation in the discriminant function analyses (DFA). However, constantly expressed subtribe-specific characters were almost missing and even in combination, did not discriminate the subtribes. -

To the best of my knowledge and belief, this thesis represents my original research except where otherwise acknowledged in the text. Frances Johnston August 2005 FORWARD “In a small section of the garden a tiny weed spoke to the blooms that grew there. ‘Why,’ he asked, ‘does the gardener seek to kill me? Do I not have a right to life? Are my leaves not green, as yours are? Is it too much to ask that I be allowed to grow and see the sun?’ The blooms pondered on this, and decided to ask the gardener to spare the weed. He did so. Day by day the weed grew, stronger and stronger, taller and taller, its leaves covering the other plants, its roots spreading. -

The proposed import health standard is supported by this risk management proposal. The purpose of an import health standard is defined as follows in section 22(1) of the Biosecurity Act 1993 (the Act): “An import health standard specifies requirements that must be met to effectively manage risks associated with importing risk goods, including risks arising because importing the goods involves or might involve an incidentally imported new organism”. MPI must consult with interested parties in accordance with section 23 of the Act before issuing or amending an import health standard under section 24A of the Act. -
01-0B500 Revised Revegetation Plan.Pdf
Peregrine Slides Repair Project (EA 01-0B500/EFIS 0112000133) Revegetation Plan, September 2015 Applicant and Contacts This revegetation plan has been prepared to satisfy requirements of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) 1602 Streambed Alteration Agreement for impacts to riparian vegetation along ephemeral drainages, U.S. Army Corp of Engineers (USACE) Nationwide Permit conditions, and North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board (NCRWQCB) Section 401 Certification conditions. The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) is the applicant, as the party having financial responsibility for the attainment of success criteria of the proposed revegetation plan; the current and long-term owner of the proposed revegetation site; and is the party responsible for long-term maintenance of the project and revegetation site. The Caltrans Project Manager for the proposed project is Steven Blair, 1656 Union Street, Eureka CA 95501, (707) 441-5733. The designated contact persons for this revegetation plan is Caltrans Biologist Allison Kunz, 703 B Street, Marysville CA 95901, (530) 741-4103 and Caltrans Revegetation Specialist Christina Wagner, 1656 Union Street, Eureka CA 95501, (707) 441-5898. This revegetation plan was prepared by Biologist Allison Kunz, (530) 741-4103, and Revegetation Specialist, Christina Wagner, (707) 441-5898. The goal of this revegetation effort is to restore and revegetate jurisdictional areas affected by construction activities and to replace a 1,000-square foot area of riparian habitat (currently a mixed willow thicket) that will be removed due to construction at a 3:1 ratio. The plan outlines strategies for revegetation, including commitments for success criteria, monitoring, remedial measures and reporting. -

The same classification systems are used to arrange the botanical collections of the Tasmanian Herbarium and by the Flora of Australia series published by the Australian Biological Resources Study (ABRS). For a more up-to-date classification of the flora refer to The Flora of Tasmania Online (Duretto 2009+) which currently follows APG II (2003). This census also serves as an index to The Student’s Flora of Tasmania (Curtis 1963, 1967, 1979; Curtis & Morris 1975, 1994).

Washington Flora Checklist a Checklist of the Vascular Plants of Washington State Hosted by the University of Washington Herbarium
Washington Flora Checklist A checklist of the Vascular Plants of Washington State Hosted by the University of Washington Herbarium The Washington Flora Checklist aims to be a complete list of the native and naturalized vascular plants of Washington State, with current classifications, nomenclature and synonymy. The checklist currently contains 3,929 terminal taxa (species, subspecies, and varieties). Taxa included in the checklist: * Native taxa whether extant, extirpated, or extinct. * Exotic taxa that are naturalized, escaped from cultivation, or persisting wild. * Waifs (e.g., ballast plants, escaped crop plants) and other scarcely collected exotics. * Interspecific hybrids that are frequent or self-maintaining. * Some unnamed taxa in the process of being described. Family classifications follow APG IV for angiosperms, PPG I (J. Syst. Evol. 54:563?603. 2016.) for pteridophytes, and Christenhusz et al. (Phytotaxa 19:55?70. 2011.) for gymnosperms, with a few exceptions. Nomenclature and synonymy at the rank of genus and below follows the 2nd Edition of the Flora of the Pacific Northwest except where superceded by new information. Accepted names are indicated with blue font; synonyms with black font. Native species and infraspecies are marked with boldface font. Please note: This is a working checklist, continuously updated. Use it at your discretion. Created from the Washington Flora Checklist Database on September 17th, 2018 at 9:47pm PST.
