  • Ipomopsis Sancti-Spiritus in Holy Ghost Canyon with and Without Management Intervention JOYCE MASCHINSKI the Arboretum at Flagstaff
    Extinction Risk of Ipomopsis sancti-spiritus in Holy Ghost Canyon With and Without Management Intervention JOYCE MASCHINSKI The Arboretum at Flagstaff Abstract: Small populations are threatened with deterministic and stochastic events that can drive the number of individuals below a critical threshold for survival. Long-term studies allow us to increase our understanding of processes required for their conservation. In the past 7 years, the population of the federally endangered Holy Ghost ipomopsis (Ipomopsis sancti-spiritus) in Holy Ghost Canyon has fluctuated widely from 2047 to 372 plants. Meta- population analysis of average Leslie matrices suggested that I. sancti-spiritus has a high probability of extinction; 60 percent of the demographic transects have negative growth rates. Transects with the greatest likelihood of remaining occupied, the highest h values, and the greatest source of new propagules for maintaining the species in Holy Ghost Canyon are in the sunny lower part of the canyon. In comparison, transects at the top of the canyon have fewer individuals and lower probability of remaining occupied. With management inter- vention to disperse propagules from more fecund to less fecund areas'of the canyon, meta- population modeling indicated decreased (but still a high) risk of extinction within the next 50 years. Thus, although seed augmentation and habitat improvement can improve the chances for I. sancti-spiritus persistence in Holy Ghost Canyon, the species remains at high risk of extinction. Small populations are threatened with determin- rose (Rosa woodsii), poison ivy (Toxicodendron yd- istic and stochastic events that can drive the num- bergii), Indian hemp (Apocynum cannabinum), west- ber of individuals below a critical threshold for ern yarrow (Achilliea millefolium), white ragweed survival (Shaffer 1987, Holsinger 2000).

Self-fertilization provides an advantage 28 in the short-term as individuals do not require a mate to reproduce, but self-fertilization is also 29 associated with both decreased genetic diversity and accumulation of weakly deleterious mutations, 30 which could, however, be alleviated in polyploid selfers.

  • A Preliminary Survey of Plant Distribution in Ohio.* John H
    A PRELIMINARY SURVEY OF PLANT DISTRIBUTION IN OHIO.* JOHN H. SCHAFFNER. The following data are presented as a preliminary basis for field work in determining the natural plant areas of Ohio. It is hoped that the botanists of the State will begin active study of local conditions with a view to determine natural or transition boundaries as well as cataloging local associations. The distri- bution lists are based on herbarium material and more than 15 years of sporadic botanizing in the state. Of course, distribution at present indicates to a considerable extent merely the distri- bution of enthusiastic botanists and their favorite collecting grounds. Nevertheless, enough has been done to indicate in a rough way the general character of our plant geography. The kind of data most important in indicating characteristic areas are as follows:— 1. Meteorological data. 2. Geology, including the nature of the surface rock and soil. 3. Physiography and topography. 4. The actual distribution of characteristic species of plants and to some extent of animals. In Ohio, the following important maps may be studied in this connection:— Meteorology. By Otto E. Jennings in Ohio Naturalist 3: 339-345, 403-409, 1903. Maps I-XII. By J. Warren Smith in Bull. Ohio Agr. Exp. Station No. 235, 1912. Figs. 3-14. Geology. By J. A. Bownocker, A Geological Map of Ohio. 1909. Topography. The maps of the topographic survey, not yet completed. Various geological reports. The eastern half of Ohio is a part of the Alleghany Plateau. The western half belongs to the great interior plain. In Ohio, the Alleghany Plateau consists of a northern glaciated region and a southern non-glaciated region.

Summary TEPPNER H. 2003. The heterodiaspory of Capsella bursa-pastoris {Brassicaceae). - Phyton (Horn, Austria) 43 (2): 381-391, 2 figures. - English with German summary. In Capsella bursa-pastoris (L.) MEDIK. two kinds of diaspores are formed: 1) the valves of the silicle containing an apical seed (i.e. the uppermost seed of each locule), which are therefore one-seeded mericarps and 2) the true (naked) seeds. Finally, of the fallen valves c. 70 % contained the apical seed; these can be easily dispersed by water and wind. Terms for heteromorphic diaspores are briefly discussed. As regards to terminology, it is proposed to restrict the term heterodiaspory, in the sense of the definition of MÜLLER-SCHNEIDER & LHOTSKÄ 1972: 408, for such cases with diaspores of different levels of morphological organisation on one individual. As an encom- passing term for heterocarpy, heteromericarpy, heterospermy, heterodiaspory etc. the older term polydiaspory (MÜLLER 1955:16) can be used. Zusammenfassung TEPPNER H. 2003.

Arka (C. procera ) an important drug of Ayurveda is known from the earliest time. Traditionally Calotropis is used alone or with other medicines to treat common disease such as fevers, rheumatism, indigestion, cough, cold, eczema, asthma, elephantiasis, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. The plant is poisonous can lead to blindness if its juice is put in to the eyes. The silky hairs are using to stuff pillows. The wood is used in impoverished desert areas for a cooking fuel. The stem is useful for making ropes, carpets, fishing nets and sewing thread. The wood is used in making charcoal. C. procera is an ideal plant for monitoring sulphur dioxide emissions in the air. C. procera is a potential plant for bioenergy and biofuel production in semi arid regions of the country.
