  • Checklist Flora of the Former Carden Township, City of Kawartha Lakes, on 2016
    Hairy Beardtongue (Penstemon hirsutus) Checklist Flora of the Former Carden Township, City of Kawartha Lakes, ON 2016 Compiled by Dale Leadbeater and Anne Barbour © 2016 Leadbeater and Barbour All Rights reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system or database, or transmitted in any form or by any means, including photocopying, without written permission of the authors. Produced with financial assistance from The Couchiching Conservancy. The City of Kawartha Lakes Flora Project is sponsored by the Kawartha Field Naturalists based in Fenelon Falls, Ontario. In 2008, information about plants in CKL was scattered and scarce. At the urging of Michael Oldham, Biologist at the Natural Heritage Information Centre at the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry, Dale Leadbeater and Anne Barbour formed a committee with goals to: • Generate a list of species found in CKL and their distribution, vouchered by specimens to be housed at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto, making them available for future study by the scientific community; • Improve understanding of natural heritage systems in the CKL; • Provide insight into changes in the local plant communities as a result of pressures from introduced species, climate change and population growth; and, • Publish the findings of the project . Over eight years, more than 200 volunteers and landowners collected almost 2000 voucher specimens, with the permission of landowners. Over 10,000 observations and literature records have been databased. The project has documented 150 new species of which 60 are introduced, 90 are native and one species that had never been reported in Ontario to date.

Unpublished report. April 2009. 62 pages plus appendices. INTRODUCTION The Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation's Division of Natural Heritage (DCR-DNH) was established to protect Virginia's Natural Heritage Resources. These Resources are defined in the Virginia Natural Area Preserves Act of 1989 (Section 10.1-209 through 217, Code of Virginia), as the habitat of rare, threatened, and endangered plant and animal species; exemplary natural communities, habitats, and ecosystems; and other natural features of the Commonwealth. DCR-DNH is the state's only comprehensive program for conservation of our natural heritage and includes an intensive statewide biological inventory, field surveys, electronic and manual database management, environmental review capabilities, and natural area protection and stewardship. Through such a comprehensive operation, the Division identifies Natural Heritage Resources which are in need of conservation attention while creating an efficient means of evaluating the impacts of economic growth. To achieve this protection, DCR-DNH maintains lists of the most significant elements of our natural diversity.

  • Rare and Uncommon Native Vascular Plants of Vermont Vermont Natural Heritage Inventory Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department 09 August 2018
    Rare and Uncommon Native Vascular Plants of Vermont Vermont Natural Heritage Inventory Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department 09 August 2018 The Vermont Rare and Uncommon Native Vascular Plants List is produced by the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department's Natural Heritage Inventory with assistance from the Scientific Advisory Group on Flora of the VT Endangered Species Committee. The Vermont Natural Heritage Inventory is the state’s official repository for records of rare, threatened, and endangered species. Information in the Natural Heritage Database is the result of work of botanists, natural resource professionals and interested amateurs. This list is intended to inform naturalists, biologists, planners, developers and the general public about our rare native flora. It contains a listing of the rare and uncommon, native, vascular plants of Vermont. These species may be rare because they have very particular habitat requirements, are subject to habitat loss, are at the edge of their range, are vulnerable to disturbance or collection, or have difficulty reproducing for unknown reasons. Some taxa on this list are rare varieties of otherwise common or exotic species, and are noted as such. Unless noted, varieties/subspecies on this list can be assumed to be the only varieties/subspecies of the species in Vermont. Species with a state status of Threatened or Endangered (T or E) are protected by Vermont’s Endangered Species Law (10 V.S.A. Chap. 123). Those with a federal status of Threatened or Endangered (LT or LE) are protected by the Federal Endangered Species Act (P.L. 93-205). The state and global ranks are informational categories regarding the rarity and extirpation/extinction risk of the species.

  • Vascular Plant Survey
    VVaassccuullaarr PPllaanntt SSuurrvveeyy VVooyyaaggeeuurrss NNaattiioonnaall PPaarrkk Prepared for: The Great Lakes Network Inventory and Monitoring Program Prepared by: Allan Harris Robert Foster November 2003 Potential Flora of Voyageurs National Park ________________________________________________________________________ Abstract In 2003 we conducted surveys for vascular plant species in Voyageurs National Park. Twenty new plant species were discovered for the park and the status for two others was revised. We estimate that 72% to 81% of the “potential flora” (plant species known to occur in the park plus those expected to occur) is known from the park. This is a slight increase from the 71% – 79% previous estimated. Georeferenced locations of new and significant species are provided, as is a revised checklist of the vascular plants of Voyageurs National Park. ______________________________________________________________________________________ Northern Bioscience Page 1 October 2003 Potential Flora of Voyageurs National Park ________________________________________________________________________ Introduction Harris and Foster (2003) estimated the “potential flora” (plant species known to occur in the park plus those expected to occur) of Voyageurs National Park at 934 to 1045 species, of which 740 were satisfactory reported from the park. The National Park Service’s goal is to verify >90% of all plants expected to occur in the park area. In 2003, the Great Lakes Network Inventory and Monitoring Program funded fieldwork to increase the proportion of known species. Methods We checked fens, cliffs, prairie-like openings, shorelines and roadsides for plant species expected to occur in Voyageurs National Park based on Harris and Foster (2003). Fieldwork was completed June 23 – 25, July 22 – 24 and August 13 – 15 2003. A map of sampling locations is shown in Figure 1.

  • Botanist Interior 43.1
    118 THE MICHIGAN BOTANIST Vol. 46 NOMENCLATURE OF GENTIANOPSIS CRINITA (GENTIANACEAE) James S. Pringle Royal Botanical Gardens P.O. Box 399, Hamilton, ON Canada L8N 3H8 [email protected] ABSTRACT The name Gentiana crinita Froel. and its homotypic synonyms are neotypified by a specimen of the greater or wide-leaved fringed gentian of eastern North America, consistent with the long-estab- lished use of the specific epithet. The greater or wide-leaved fringed gentian, which is native from Georgia north to Maine and Manitoba, was known historically as Gentiana crinita Froel. and is now called Gentianopsis crinita (Froel.) Ma. From a study by Fernald (1923; recently noted by Jarvis 2007), however, it has sometimes been suspected that the epithet crinita might correctly be applicable, instead, to Victorin’s gen- tian, which was originally described as Gentiana victorinii Fernald and is now called Gentianopsis virgata subsp. victorinii (Fernald) Lammers. The latter is endemic to the intertidal flats of the St. Lawrence estuary near Québec City. With research on typification having been stimulated by the Linnaean Plant Names Typification Project, the Flora of North America North of Mexico, and the compilation of databases on type specimens at major herbaria, uncertainty as to the correct name of G. crinita should be resolved, lest the nomenclature of this well-known and much-admired species be disrupted unnecessarily. Gentianopsis crinita, as Gentiana crinita, was the first North American species of the fringed gentians to be recognized taxonomically. Froelich (1796) distinguished this species from the European Gentiana ciliata L. [Gentianopsis ciliata (L.) Ma] by its greater plant size, basally clasping, lanceolate rather than linear leaves, larger and more numerous flowers, dimorphic calyx lobes, and corolla lobes fringed all around rather than only proximally.

  • Emma Cole's 1901 Grand Rapids Flora
    98 THE GREAT LAKES BOTANIST Vol. 56 EMMA COLE’S 1901 GRAND RAPIDS FLORA : NOMENCLATURALLY UPDATED AND REVISED Garrett E. Crow Visiting Scholar, Department of Biology, Calvin College 3201 Burton SE, Grand Rapids, MI 49546-4403 Adjunct Researcher, Michigan State University Herbarium Professor Emeritus, University of New Hampshire [email protected]; [email protected] ABSTRACT In 1901 Emma J. Cole published Grand Rapids Flora , a work that remains the most recent com - prehensive account of the plants specific to West Michigan and that is still consulted by those with interests in local native habitats, the historical status of rare and endangered plants once known from the area, and the flora of the region in general. However, to make Cole’s Flora , an important histori - cal document, more useful to the present day, an updated Checklist of the plants in her Flora is pre - sented in an alphabetic format that brings her plant names up-to-date with current nomenclature. The updated Checklist catalogs a total of 1275 taxa at the species level, whereas Cole’s (1901) Flora treated 1290 taxa (including varieties). Although Cole did not typically cite specimens in her Flora , it was documented by herbarium specimens that she collected and deposited in the Kent Scientific Institute (forerunner of the Grand Rapids Public Museum); a large number of Cole’s specimens are extant and are housed in the University of Michigan Herbarium, with a large number of duplicates located at the Michigan State University Herbarium and elsewhere. Cole also consulted specimens collected by students and colleagues in private collections, many of which are also extant.
