Pomroy Olga Lakela Herbarium Department of Biology University of Minnesota Duluth, MN 55812-3003 [email protected] Rumex stenophyllus Ledeb. (Polygonaceae). Narrowleaf Dock. Previous knowledge: Rumex stenophyllus is a herbaceous perennial native to moist, often saline, soils from central Europe to central Asia (Löve & Bernard 1958). Its known naturalized North American range (Löve & Bernard 1958, USDA 2004) comes nearest to Wisconsin in the Twin Cities area of Minnesota (Ownbey & Morley 1991). Significance. Two populations of R. stenophyllus were found in Superior, Wisconsin, apparently the first known for the state. Both included numerous in- dividuals in tall weedy herbaceous vegetation on upland clay soil. A soil test of the Catlin site found the electrical conductivity to be 0.3 dS/m, which is a non- saline value (Lal 2002). 1 WISCONSIN.

  • Botanist Interior 38.3
    38 THE MICHIGAN BOTANIST Vol. 38 NOTEWORTHY COLLECTIONS MINNESOTA DIGITALIS GRANDIFLORA Miller (Scrophulariaceae). Yellow Foxglove. Previous knowledge. Digitalis grandiflora is a biennial or perennial native to Eurasia, where it grows in woods (Tutin et al. 1972). In eastern North America, D. grandiflora occasionally escapes from cultivation (Magee & Ahles 1999). D. grandiflora has been reported outside of cultivation from Baraga and Houghton Counties in upper Michigan (Voss 1996). We are not aware of other collections from the upper Great Lakes. Significance. A population of D. grandiflora was found in Duluth, Minnesota, apparently the first escape of this species in the state. The plants were on a steep, open northeast-facing bank about 1 km from Lake Superior. This is a residential neighborhood, in which the population’s founders may have been cultivated. The species was absent from a similar bank across the avenue, suggesting that spread by seed is weak. The plants had large rhizomes bearing numerous scars from flowering stems, and have been observed flowering vigorously every year since their discovery. We infer that D. grandiflora behaves as a perennial in this envi- ronment, allowing it to persist and spread locally even if reproduction by seed is ineffective. This species contains some of the same cardiac glycosides as D. lanata Ehrh. and D. purpurea L. (Hollman 1985), suggesting that caution be taken to prevent skin contact or ingestion by humans, livestock, or pets. MINNESOTA. ST.

Email: [email protected] Abstract The research presented in this paper had the purpose of Key words inventory and knowledge of spontaneous and subspontaneous plant species of Botanical Garden "Vasile Fati" Jibou, Salaj, Romania. Following systematic Jibou Botanical Garden, investigations undertaken in the botanical garden a large number of spontaneous flora, spontaneous taxons were found from the Romanian flora (650 species of adventive and vascular plants and 20 species of moss). Also were inventoried 38 species of subspontaneous plants, adventive plants, permanently established in Romania and 176 vascular plant floristic analysis, Romania species that have migrated from culture and multiply by themselves throughout the garden. In the garden greenhouses were found 183 subspontaneous species and weeds, both from the Romanian flora as well as tropical plants introduced by accident. Thus the total number of wild species rises to 1055, a large number compared to the occupied area. Some rare spontaneous plants and endemic to the Romanian flora (Galium abaujense, Cephalaria radiata, Crocus banaticus) were found. Cultivated species that once migrated from culture, accommodated to environmental conditions and conquered new territories; standing out is the Cyrtomium falcatum fern, once escaped from the greenhouses it continues to develop on their outer walls. Jibou Botanical Garden is the second largest exotic species can adapt and breed further without any botanical garden in Romania, after "Anastasie Fătu" care [11].

  • Southern Ontario Vascular Plant Species List
    Southern Ontario Vascular Plant Species List (Sorted by Scientific Name) Based on the Ontario Plant List (Newmaster et al. 1998) David J. Bradley Southern Science & Information Section Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources Peterborough, Ontario Revised Edition, 2007 Southern Ontario Vascular Plant Species List This species checklist has been compiled in order to assist field biologists who are sampling vegetative plots in Southern Ontario. It is not intended to be a complete species list for the region. The intended range for this vascular plant list is Ecoregions (Site Regions) 5E, 6E and 7E. i Nomenclature The nomenclature used for this listing of 2,532 plant species, subspecies and varieties, is in accordance with the Ontario Plant List (OPL), 1998 [see Further Reading for full citation]. This is the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resource’s publication which has been selected as the corporate standard for plant nomenclature. There have been many nomenclatural innovations in the past several years since the publication of the Ontario Plant List that are not reflected in this listing. However, the OPL has a listing of many of the synonyms that have been used recently in the botanical literature. For a more up to date listing of scientific plant names visit either of the following web sites: Flora of North America - http://www.efloras.org/flora_page.aspx?flora_id=1 NatureServe - http://www.natureserve.org/explorer/servlet/NatureServe?init=Species People who are familiar with the Natural Heritage Information Centre (NHIC) plant species list for Ontario, will notice some changes in the nomenclature. For example, most of the Aster species have now been put into the genus Symphyotrichum, with a few into the genus Eurybia.
