  • Shiny Geranium (Geranium Lucidum)
    KING COUNTY NOXIOUS WEED ALERT Shiny Geranium Class B Noxious Weed: Control Required Geranium lucidum Geranium Family Identification Tips • Low-growing annual with tiny, pink, 5-petaled flowers that grow in pairs on short stems • Leaves shiny, round to kidney-shaped with 5-7 lobes • Sepals keeled • Stems reddish, smooth (hairless), up to 20 inches tall • Seeds form in capsules with a long, pointy “crane's bill” Biology Reproduces by seed. Seeds are forcefully ejected when ripe, helping it spread up as well as out from parent plants. This is probably why this plant can be found in crevices of tree trunks or spreading up hillsides. Usually grows as an annual but some plants live for two years. Flowering is from April to July and seeds mature and spread usually from late June Ben Legler by Photo to early July. Seeds germinate mostly in late summer to early fall, but can Look for pairs of tiny pink flowers, germinate several times a year. winged sepals with “keels”, and shiny, rounded, lobed leaves. Impacts Can invade and overwhelm high quality native habitat in forests and grasslands. Spreads quickly by seed and forms dense carpets, excluding other vegetation. Contaminates nursery stock and can be accidentally introduced to landscaped areas and restoration sites. Distribution Introduced from Europe and Asia. In the Pacific Northwest, most abundant in Oregon in the Willamette Valley and the Portland area. Also increasingly found in many counties of western Washington. In King County, it is found in both urban and rural areas in yards, woodlands, roadsides and spreading from landscaped areas.

  • Spurge Laurel Other Common Names: Daphne, Daphne- USDA Symbol: DALA11 Daphne Laureola Spurge, Daphne-Laurel ODA Rating: B
    Spurge laurel Other common names: daphne, daphne- USDA symbol: DALA11 Daphne laureola spurge, daphne-laurel ODA rating: B Introduction: The Daphne family consists of 500 species mostly small shrubs or occasional herbs. Most members of the group produce stem fibers and a few are used for papermaking in Asia. Spurge laurel was planted throughout the Pacific Northwest for decades. It is a native in much of Western Europe and the southern countries of Eastern Europe. Southern British Columbia, especially southern Vancouver island and in the Vancouver area, have well-established populations of spurge laurel. In Washington State, many west-side counties have escaped populations near urban areas. The hard seeds are consumed by birds and transported off-site Distribution: Oregon spurge laurel infestations are increasing. The largest infestations are located in Yamhill, Douglas and Benton counties. The Columbia River Gorge also contains outbreaks of the weed. Deciduous forests are the perfect habitat providing partial shade for the shrubs though conifer forests are equally suitable especially along the edges. Description: Spurge laurel is an attractive ornamental plant known for its spiraling evergreen leaves and greenish-yellow, bitter-fragrant flowers. Larger patches emit an unpleasant odor. Flowering occurs in late winter-early spring, producing clusters of blue berries during the spring. The one-seeded drupes are eaten and dispersed widely by birds and small mammals. Shrubs reach a height of 0.5-1.5 meters. This weed tolerates low light levels from partial to deep shade. It prefers better-drained clay loams and forest loams with neutral to acidic soils. Escaped populations form dense stands mostly under tree canopies.

  • HERB ROBERT (Geranium Robertianum) of the Geraniaceae Family Also Known by the Names of - Herb Robertianum, St
    HERB ROBERT (Geranium Robertianum) of the Geraniaceae family Also known by the names of - Herb Robertianum, St. Robert, Storkbill, Cranesbill, Red Robin, Fox geranium, St. Robert’s Wort, Bloodwort, Felonwort, Dragon’s blood. This list of common names gives a rather vivid description, of a small plant that I have come to revere, and it is always welcome, in my garden. Description Annual, to 30-40cm, stems branch in many directions, and these stems may turn red, in colour. Green leaves, 6cm long, form opposite, at knotted joints in the stem; leaves are palmate in shape, deeply cut, and often tinged with colours of pink, red or bronze. Stems and leaves are covered with very fine hairs. Very dainty, bright-pink, ‘joy giving’ flowers, 15mm across, have five, rounded petals. Each petal has 3 streaks of white, starting at the centre and phasing out along the petal. Flowers develop, in groups of 2 or 4, at leaf axils. The base of the blossom quickly fills out, develops into the oval seed receptacle, 17mm long, and when mature, looks like a bird’s beak, which is why the plant has been given the common names: ‘storkbill’ and ‘cranesbill’. As the seeds dry off, nature has a way of dispersing: by opening the ‘beak’ and ejecting with a sudden spring action, flinging the 5 small, oval seeds in five directions, ensuring that there will be future generations of the plant, for mankind’s use. I believe this plant should be in every garden, ready for service. Propagation is by seed. Plants thrive in shady, damp places, growing very quickly, flowering profusely, and self-seeding readily: if the seed is not picked, before it is dry.

Introduction Problems Created Spiny cocklebur is an annual plant found in highly disturbed habitats and farm areas. The burs (fruits) of this species become tangled in the fur of livestock, increasing costs to the consumers of wool products. It competes with crops and is a nuisance when growing with hand-harvested crops. The seeds and seedlings of spiny cocklebur are poisonous if consumed, and they are particularly toxic to swine and horses. Regulations Spiny cocklebur is listed as a “B” designated quarantine weed in Oregon and a class “C” noxious weed in Washington. In Arkan- sas, the genus Xanthium is listed as noxious weeds, likely more for spiny cocklebur’s congener Xanthium strumarium (rough cocklebur), which has a much wider distribution in the state. Description Vegetative Growth Spiny cocklebur is an annual plant that blooms in summer. It grows to 5’ tall with striate stems that are yellowish or brownish gray. The leaves may be entire or toothed or lobed. The lower surface of the leaves is covered with white hairs, and the upper leaf surface is white-veined. Leaves are 1’’to 3’’ long and have a 3-forked spine at the leaf base, giving this species the common name “spiny” cocklebur.

  • Spurge Laurel Management
    Control Options for Spurge Laurel General Information Spurge laurel (Daphne laureola), a shrub native to Western Europe and the Mediterranean, was introduced into North America as a garden ornamental. It has escaped cultivation, invading roadsides, parks and wooded areas. Spurge laurel reproduces both by seed and vegetatively, by sprouting from lateral roots. The berries are eaten by birds, which aids in seed dispersal. All parts of the plant are poisonous to humans, as well as to dogs and cats. Manual/Mechanical Techniques Small infestations of spurge laurel can be hand dug or pulled using a weed-pulling tool, such as a Weed Wrench™. Weed Wrenches and Extractigators™ are available for loan from the Whatcom County Noxious Weed Program. Please call (360)778-6232 or (360)778-6234 for more information. Young plants (3 yrs. or less) will often die after being cut close to the ground. For older plants, control may also be possible by cutting the plant off, but make sure the cut is below the ground surface. The sap of spurge laurel contains irritating toxins. Care should be taken to prevent the sap from coming into contact with the skin or eyes. Respiratory irritation has also been reported from inhaled droplets of sap. Chemical Recommendations Spurge laurel can be managed using specific herbicides. When using herbicides, always read and follow label directions for rates, spraying conditions, personal protective equipment and grazing intervals. If spraying is the chosen option, spray late in the evening to reduce the direct impact on pollinating insects. Do not spray when it is windy or raining, or when rain is forecast.

  • Host Plant Records for North American Ragweed Flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) 1
    Vol. 95, No. 2. March & April 1984 51 HOST PLANT RECORDS FOR NORTH AMERICAN RAGWEED FLIES (DIPTERA: TEPHRITIDAE) 1 B.A. Foote2 ABSTRACT: Information is given on host plants and infestation rates for 7 of the 8 North American species of Euaresta. The host plants are either ragweeds of the genus Ambrosia or cockleburs of the genus Xanthium, 2 genera of the tribe Ambrosieae (Compositae). The genus Euaresta is a relatively small taxon within the family Tephritidae of the acalyptrate Diptera. It includes 8 species from America north of Mexico (Quisenberry, 1950; Foote, 1965), as well as several from south of the United States; however, virtually no host data are available for these latter species and some doubt exists as to whether they actually belong to the genus (R.H. Foote, in litt.). Relatively little is known of the life histories or larval feeding habits of the Nearctic species except that they seem to be associated either with cockleburs of the genus Xanthium or ragweeds of the genus Ambrosia (Compositae: Ambrosieae). Marlatt 1 1 the ( 89 ) discussed natural history of E. aequalis(Loew), a seed predator of cocklebur (X. strumarium L.). Foote (1965) reported that larvae of E. bella(Loew) and E. festiva (Loew) attacked the seeds of common ragweed (A. artemisiifolia L.) and giant ragweed (A. trifida L.), respectively. He also listed host plants for selected species of Euaresta and discussed briefly the life cycles of E. bella and E. festiva. Batra (1979) described in considerable detail the courtship behavior and oviposition habits of these two species. Goeden and Ricker (1974a, 1974b, 1976) recorded host for plants E.
