NAGATA' ABSTRACT. Bidens sandvicensis ssp. confusa Nagata & Ganders, B. hillebrandiana ssp. po/ycephala Nagata & Ganders, B. micrantha ssp. kalealaha Nagata & Ganders, and B. forbesii ssp. kahiliensis Ganders & Nagata are described as new. Bidens campylotheca ssp. pentamera (SherfO Ganders & Nagata, B. menziesii ssp. jilijormis (SherfO Ganders & Nagata, and B. micrantha ssp. ctenophylla (SherfO Nagata & Ganders are published as new combinations at subspecific rank. A key to all taxa of Bidens in the Hawaiian Islands is provided. In the course ofour investigation of the genetics of adaptive radiation and evolution of Bidens in the Hawaiian Islands, it has been necessary to revise the group taxonomically. Here we describe four new subspecies and make three new combinations at the rank of subspecies. It will be useful to have valid names published for use in other papers before our monograph is pub­ lished. We have also included a key to all taxa of Bidens in the Hawaiian Islands. Presently available keys to the Hawaiian taxa do not work, and include many species unworthy of any taxonomic recognition. Our key should be useful to ecologists or others who may need to identify Bidens in Hawai'i. It includes introduced taxa that have been collected in the islands in the last 80 years. Bidens laevis is excluded. It was collected several times before 1900, but probably does not persist on the islands. 'We thank Robert Hobdy, Bea Krauss, Ronald Nagata, and Steve Perlman for collections of seeds or cullings, Dr. Helen Kennedy for the Latin diagnoses, Lesley Bohm for the drawings, the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council ofCanada for financial support, and the cura­ tors at BISH, BM, F, G, GH, and HAW for loan of specimens.

Library of Congress Catalog Card Number: 74·620038 Published by the Harold L. Lyon Arboretum, 3860 Manoa Road, Honolulu, Hawaii 96822 Date of Publication of Volume 2(1): I November 1983 2 LYONIA Vol. 2, No.1 Bidens sandvicensis Less. ssp. confusa Nagata & Ganders, ssp. nov. FIGURE 1. Differt a ssp. sandvicensis folioliis angustioris, minus quam 8 mm latis; flosculis radiatis 5-6, 05-)18-2l(-28) mm longis et (5-)6-9 mm latis. Erect to somewhat straggling perennial, 0.5-1.0 m tall, flowering ter­ minally as well as laterally, lateral branches ascending to nearly horizontal. Leaves pinnately or occasionally bipinnately compound, mostly 50-160 mm long including petiole; leaflets 5-9 to bipinnate, serrate, glabrous or glabr­ ate, mostly 15-80 mm long and less than 8 mm wide, more than 5 times as long as wide. Inflorescence a compound dichasium, rather diffuse, with 6 to more than 30 heads, peduncles of heads glabrous or sparsely pubescent, 00-)15-50 mm long. Heads 25-40 mm in diameter, outer involucral bracts (2.5-)3-4(-5) mm long. Ray flowers sterile, 5-6, yellow, 05-)18-21 mm long, (5-)6-9 mm wide. Disk flowers 17-22, perfect or pistillate, some populations gynodioecious. Achenes straight, black, wingless, setose on the margins and sometimes on the faces, 5-10 mm long and 0.75-1.0 mm wide; awns 2, 1-2 mm long, or absent. HOLOTYPE: Hawaiian Islands, Kauai, Waimea District, Kokee, along Waimea Canyon Road near Canyon Lookout, elevation about 3300'; 5 June 1982, K. Nagata 2473 (BISH). DISTRIBUTION: Restricted to the Koke'e region of Kaua'i, on west rim of Waimea Canyon from about 700-1100 m elevation. SPECIMENS EXAMINED: KAVA'I: near power house, Waimea Canyon, Degener et al. 23,981 (BISH); Kukui Trail, Waimea Canyon, Degener et al. 27,189 (BISH); near rim of Waimea Canyon, Gillett 1888 (HLA); Waimea Canyon rim, Hobdy 38 (BISH); Iliau Nature Trail, Hobdy 54 (BISH); Waimea Canyon Road, K. Nagata 1946-1948 (HLA). This taxon is common along the west rim of Waimea Canyon at about 1000 m elevation. It is not always easy to distinguish Bidens sandvicensis ssp. con/usa from ssp. sandvicensis morphologically, since it differs mainly in having larger ray flowers and heads and narrower leaflets. Some specimens have nearly linear leaflets but others approach those of some plants of ssp. sandvicensis. The two taxa retain their differences when cultivated in the same environment, and differ in polyacetylene chemistry (Marchant et al., in press) and in flavonoid chemistry (McCormick and Ganders, unpub­ lished). Subspecies sandvicensis also occurs on Kaua'i, but is usually restricted to elevations below 400 m. It is possible, however, that some intergradation occurs on the walls of Waimea Canyon. Gillett and Lim (970) and Gillett (975) considered this taxon to repre­ sent a natural hybrid between Bidens menziesii and B. /orbesii, largely on the basis of the finely divided leaves of the specimens Gillett had in cultivation. Bidens menziesii does not occur on Kaua'i, and ssp. conjUsa shows little resemblance to B. /orbesii. It is more similar to B. cervicata, which does occur nearby, but there is no evidence at present that it has hybridized with that taxon. The achenes of ssp. con/usa are identical to those of ssp. 1983 GANDERS & NAGATA: NEW HAWAIIAN BIDENS 3 ........a-..." A 2cm L.-..I B 1cm FIGURE 1.

LECTOTYPE (here designated): Hawaiian Islands, Molokai, Wailau, June 1910, U. Faurie 931 (BM!; isolectotype: P). Differt a ssp. hillebrandiana inflorescentiae cum capitulis 4-30, pedun­ culus capitulorum 2-12(-20) mm longis. Decumbent perennial herb, woody at base, less than 0.5 m tall, flowering terminally as well as on lateral branches. Leaves rarely simple, usually pin­ nately or bipinnately compound, mostly 35-80(-110) mm long including petiole; leaflets mostly 5-25 mm long and 2-15 mm wide, fleshy, crenately toothed or lobed, glabrous or sparsely pubescent. Inflorescence a compound dichasium; heads (4-)5-30, peduncles of heads glabrous or sparsely pubes­ cent, 2-12(-20) mm long. Heads 04-)19-24 mm in diameter, outer involucral bracts 2-3 mm long, inner involucral bracts short, often not covering flower buds. Ray flowers sterile, 5-6, yellow, 9-12 mm long, 3-4 mm wide. Disk flowers 11-21, perfect. Achenes straight, grayish black, wingless, setose on margins and often also on the faces, 6-8 mm long and 0.8-1.2 mm wide; awns 1-2 mm long, prominently retrorsely barbed. HOLOTYPE: Hawaiian Islands, East Maui, on ledge of sea cliffs with Sesuvium, Digitaria, and Lycium, west end of Maliko Bay, Makawao District, elevation 80',5 June 1979, K. Nagata 1897 (BISH). DISTRIBUTION: Windward coasts of East Maui and Moloka'i, on coastal bluffs or talus exposed to ocean spray, from sea level to about 60 m eleva­ tion. On Maui it occurs from Maliko Bay east to Hana and around the east end of the island to the mouth of the Kipahulu Valley. On Moloka'i it occurs on sea cliffs from Wailau Valley to Kikipua Point. SPECIMENS EXAMINED: MAUl: north shore of Kauiki Head, Hana, Degener et al. 12,397 (BISH); Oheo Stream, Kipahulu Valley, Higashino 5740 (BISH); Maliko Bay, K. Nagata 1894 & 1895 (HLA); Maliko Bay, K. Nagata 1896 (HLA). MOLOKA'I: Wailau Valley, talus slope at foot of cliffs, Fosberg 9666 (BISH, F); Kikipua Pt., Jacobi 1724 (BISH). The holotype of Bidens hillebrandiana is from the island of Hawai'i and has heads solitary on long peduncles, or rarely inflorescences of 2-4 heads on long peduncles. Subspecies hillebrandiana is known only from the wind­ ward Kohala coast and has been only rarely collected. The plants resemble hybrids of B. hillebrandiana ssp. po/ycephala and B. mauiensis, and some 1983 GANDERS & NAGATA: NEW HAWAIIAN BIDENS 5 ~ 2cm FIGURE 2. Bidens hillebrandiana ssp. polycephala (A) terminal inflorescence; (B) achenes; (C) flowering head showing outer involucral bracts; (D) stem leaf. 6 LYONIA Vol. 2, No.1 specimens at BISH were annotated as such by Gillett. Subspecies hillebran­ diana is reasonably constant and the achenes show no evidence of hybridization with B. mauiensis, which does not occur on the island of Hawai'i in any case. Bidens hillebrandiana is more common on east Maui and Moloka'i, but plants from these islands have branching inflorescences and heads on short peduncles. They are best considered a distinct subspecies. In describing Campylotheca ruti/olia Leveille cited two numbers, Faurie 931 and 965. Faurie 931 is from Moloka'i and is here designated as the lec­ totype. It is a synonym of B. hillebrandiana ssp.

  • "National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary."
    Intro 1996 National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands The Fish and Wildlife Service has prepared a National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary (1996 National List). The 1996 National List is a draft revision of the National List of Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1988 National Summary (Reed 1988) (1988 National List). The 1996 National List is provided to encourage additional public review and comments on the draft regional wetland indicator assignments. The 1996 National List reflects a significant amount of new information that has become available since 1988 on the wetland affinity of vascular plants. This new information has resulted from the extensive use of the 1988 National List in the field by individuals involved in wetland and other resource inventories, wetland identification and delineation, and wetland research. Interim Regional Interagency Review Panel (Regional Panel) changes in indicator status as well as additions and deletions to the 1988 National List were documented in Regional supplements. The National List was originally developed as an appendix to the Classification of Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the United States (Cowardin et al.1979) to aid in the consistent application of this classification system for wetlands in the field.. The 1996 National List also was developed to aid in determining the presence of hydrophytic vegetation in the Clean Water Act Section 404 wetland regulatory program and in the implementation of the swampbuster provisions of the Food Security Act. While not required by law or regulation, the Fish and Wildlife Service is making the 1996 National List available for review and comment.

  • Larval Host-Plant Testing of Tinostoma Smaragditis (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae), the Fabulous Green Sphinx of Kaua'i
    83 Larval Host-Plant Testing of Tinostoma smaragditis (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae), the Fabulous Green Sphinx of Kaua'i CLINTON L. CAMPBELL & LAURA M. ISHII State of Hawaii. Department of Agriculture, 4398-A Pua Loke Street, Lihue, Hawai'i 96766, USA ABSTRACT. A specimen of an extremely ran; sphingid, Tinostoma smaragditis, endem ic to the island of Kaua'i, Hawai'i, was collected in late July 1992. Prior to expiring, it oviposited 36 eggs, of which 79% were fertile and eclosed, providing a brief opportunity to discover its unknown, larval host-plant(s). Almost 140 species of plants, many endem ic to the Hawaiian Islands, were offered to the larvae through a combination of 3 meth ods. Among the plants was the species upon which the adult was found as well as sus pected host plant species. Larvae did not respond to any plant species tested; larvae attempting to feed or actually feeding were not observed. Thus the host-plant(s) remains unknown. Names of plant species offered to the larvae are provided and are considered unlikely host-plants given the lack of immature response. INTRODUCTION Tinostoma smaragditis Meyrick (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae) is known as the fabulous green sphinx of Kaua'i or elusive green sphinx of Kaua'i (Zimmerman 1958). It is con sidered endemic to Kaua'i (Nishida 1992), though Zimmerman (1958) questioned its sta tus as a native. The type specimen was collected in the 1890s and is part of the collection of The Natural History Museum, London (formerly British Museum (Natural History)) (Zimmerman 1958). It was not until July 1961 that a second specimen was collected (Bryan 1962).

Wallace California Botanic Garden [formerly Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden], 1500 North College Avenue, Claremont, California 91711 ([email protected]) abstract An account of the extent, diversity, and importance of the Californian collections of Thomas Coulter in the herbarium (TCD) of Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland, is presented here. It is based on examination of collections in TCD, several other collections available online, and referenced literature. Additional infor- mation on historical context, content of herbarium labels and annotations is included. Coulter’s collections in TCD are less well known than partial duplicate sets at other herbaria. He was the first botanist to cross the desert of southern California to the Colorado River. Coulter’s collections in TCD include not only 60 vascular plant specimens previously unidentified as type material but also among the first moss andmarine algae specimens known to be collected in California. A list of taxa named for Thomas Coulter is included.
