Bay Bean (Canavalia Rosea) Bay bean (Canavalia rosea) For definitions of botanical terms, visit en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_botanical_terms. Also known as Seaside bean, beach bean, coastal jackbean and Mackenzie bean, Bay bean is a sprawling, mat-forming vine. It occurs naturally in coastal strands and on dunes where it helps control erosion by stabilizing the sand. It blooms year-round, peaking in summer and fall. The flowers attract a variety of insects, but are primarily pollinated by bees. Bay bean flowers are pinkish-purple with white centers that guide insects to nectar, and 10 yellow stamens that are mostly fused. Photo by Bob Peterson (CC BY 2.0) The flowers are inverted, axillary and born in racemes. Leaves are trifoliate and alternately arranged. Leaflets are thick, leathery and ovoid with entire margins. They will fold in on themselves in response to hot sunlight. Stems are thick and fleshy. The fruit is a long (4–6 inches), flattened pod. As it matures, it turns from green to brown and develops ridges. Seeds are buoyant, which aids in their dispersal via ocean currents. The young pods and seeds are edible when cooked but become toxic as they mature on the plant. Young seeds can be roasted, ground and added to coffee. Bay bean was formerly classified asC. maritima. Family: Fabaceae (Legume, bean or pea family) Native range: Coastal counties from Volusia and Dixie south into the Keys To see where natural populations of Bay bean have been vouchered, visit www.florida.plantatlas.usf.edu. Hardiness: Zones 9A–11 Lifespan: Perennial Soil: Moderately moist to dry, well-drained sandy soils Exposure: Full sun Growth habit: 20–50’ long, up to 1’ high Propagation: Cuttings, seed (scarify or soak in water before planting) Garden tips: Bay bean is a fast-growing, mat-forming vine that makes a great groundcover along coastal dunes and in other dry areas where it may roam freely. It is not recommended for small areas. The plant is drought, salt and wind tolerant and is an excellent option for dune restoration plantings. Plants are occasionally available from nurseries that specialize in Florida native plants. Visit www. PlantRealFlorida.org to find a nursery in your area. Florida Wildflower Foundation • 225 S.

The list was produced using the AustralianAustralian Natural Natural Heritage Heritage Assessment Assessment Tool Tool (ANHAT), which analyses data from a range of plant and animal surveys and collections from across Australia to automatically generate a report for each NRM region. Data sources (Appendix 2) include national and state herbaria, museums, state governments, CSIRO, Birds Australia and a range of surveys conducted by or for DEWHA. For each family of plant and animal covered by ANHAT (Appendix 1), this document gives the number of species in the country and how many of them are found in the region. It also identifies species listed as Vulnerable, Critically Endangered, Endangered or Conservation Dependent under the EPBC Act. A biodiversity summary for this region is also available.

  • Woody and Herbaceous Plants Native to Haiti for Use in Miami-Dade Landscapes1
    Woody and Herbaceous Plants Native to Haiti For use in Miami-Dade Landscapes1 Haiti occupies the western one third of the island of Hispaniola with the Dominican Republic the remainder. Of all the islands within the Caribbean basin Hispaniola possesses the most varied flora after that of Cuba. The plants contained in this review have been recorded as native to Haiti, though some may now have been extirpated due in large part to severe deforestation. Less than 1.5% of the country’s original tree-cover remains. Haiti’s future is critically tied to re- forestation; loss of tree cover has been so profound that exotic fast growing trees, rather than native species, are being used to halt soil erosion and lessen the risk of mudslides. For more information concerning Haiti’s ecological plight consult references at the end of this document. For present purposes all of the trees listed below are native to Haiti, which is why non-natives such as mango (the most widely planted tree) and other important trees such as citrus, kassod tree (Senna siamea) and lead tree (Leucanea leucocephala) are not included. The latter two trees are among the fast growing species used for re-forestation. The Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History’s Flora of the West Indies was an invaluable tool in assessing the range of plants native to Haiti. Not surprisingly many of the listed trees and shrubs 1 John McLaughlin Ph.D. U.F./Miami-Dade County Extension Office, Homestead, FL 33030 Page | 1 are found in other parts of the Caribbean with some also native to South Florida.

The mangrove ecosystem is a unique association of plants, animals and micro-organisms acclimatized to life in the fluctuating environment of the tropical and subtropical and intertidal zone covering more than 10 million ha worldwide. The present study documents the directly observed diversity of true mangroves and their associates, in the mangroves of Karaikal. The present study recorded a sum of 136 plant species. Among the plants 8 species were true mangroves and 128 species were mangrove associates. The family Rhizophoraceae is the dominant group represent three species followed by Avicenniaceae with two species. The associated mangrove flora recorded in the present study falls to 128 genera belongs to 42 families from 20 orders. As per IUCN current status, most of the mangrove species in decreased status. The base line information is very much helpful for the conservation and feature references.
