  • Department of Planning and Zoning
    Department of Planning and Zoning Subject: Howard County Landscape Manual Updates: Recommended Street Tree List (Appendix B) and Recommended Plant List (Appendix C) - Effective July 1, 2010 To: DLD Review Staff Homebuilders Committee From: Kent Sheubrooks, Acting Chief Division of Land Development Date: July 1, 2010 Purpose: The purpose of this policy memorandum is to update the Recommended Plant Lists presently contained in the Landscape Manual. The plant lists were created for the first edition of the Manual in 1993 before information was available about invasive qualities of certain recommended plants contained in those lists (Norway Maple, Bradford Pear, etc.). Additionally, diseases and pests have made some other plants undesirable (Ash, Austrian Pine, etc.). The Howard County General Plan 2000 and subsequent environmental and community planning publications such as the Route 1 and Route 40 Manuals and the Green Neighborhood Design Guidelines have promoted the desirability of using native plants in landscape plantings. Therefore, this policy seeks to update the Recommended Plant Lists by identifying invasive plant species and disease or pest ridden plants for their removal and prohibition from further planting in Howard County and to add other available native plants which have desirable characteristics for street tree or general landscape use for inclusion on the Recommended Plant Lists. Please note that a comprehensive review of the street tree and landscape tree lists were conducted for the purpose of this update, however, only

Management of the Viburnum Leaf Beetle at the Morris Arboretum Abstract Pyrrhalta viburni (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), or the viburnum leaf beetle (VLB), is an invasive pest on viburnums in North America, where native species of the plant have little natural resistance. Resistance can be conferred by leaf texture, leaf chemistry, or a wound response that crushes VLB eggs. The beetle does not immediately kill host plants, but repeated defoliation is fatal after several years. Because viburnum is a common forest and landscape plant in the eastern United States, VLB is a serious concern. The Morris Arboretum has a large collection of viburnums, including many native and non-native species. While VLB had already been observed in passing, this project included a thorough baseline survey of VLB damage throughout the Arboretum. Data were collected for the number of twigs infested with VLB, the number of cavities on each twig, and whether a wound response had been produced.

  • EIGHT REASONS for REMOVING AMUR HONEYSUCKLE (Lonicera Maackii)
    EIGHT REASONS FOR REMOVING AMUR HONEYSUCKLE (Lonicera maackii) 1. Amur Honeysuckle is one of the first shrubs to “leaf out” in the spring. It shades the forest floor just when native spring ephemerals must have sunshine to carry out an annual life cycle in a period of three to four months. Honeysuckle displaces and out-competes these native wildflowers for light and other resources. Ohio has a rich heritage of spring wildflowers, a heritage which will disappear. Rare species in natural areas are impacted and threatened. 2. Honeysuckle prevents the regeneration of a forest. New saplings are shaded out, and when mature trees grow old and die, there will be no younger trees to take their place. 3. Honeysuckle produces abundant fruit and seed which most people think are beneficial to bird species; in fact, these fruits are NOT NUTRITIOUS, as they contain pure sugar akin to eating a bowl of M & M’s. Unfortunately, birds spread the seed everywhere. Three of the MOST nutritious fruits for birds come from the native plants, Spicebush (Lindera benzoin), Sassafras (Sassafras albidum), and Blackhaw Viburnum (Viburnum prunifolium). Each of these species’ fruits contains lipids or fats which are crucial for supplying migrating birds with energy. 4. Honeysuckle grows densely in the under story, and people think that it provides good cover and nesting sites for birds. This is incorrect. From a bird’s eye view above the forest honeysuckle appears thick, but from a predator’s view on the ground the bare “legs” of honeysuckle make nests visible. Predation of nests is higher in honeysuckle than in native shrubs.

  • The Phytochemistry of Cherokee Aromatic Medicinal Plants
    medicines Review The Phytochemistry of Cherokee Aromatic Medicinal Plants William N. Setzer 1,2 1 Department of Chemistry, University of Alabama in Huntsville, Huntsville, AL 35899, USA; [email protected]; Tel.: +1-256-824-6519 2 Aromatic Plant Research Center, 230 N 1200 E, Suite 102, Lehi, UT 84043, USA Received: 25 October 2018; Accepted: 8 November 2018; Published: 12 November 2018 Abstract: Background: Native Americans have had a rich ethnobotanical heritage for treating diseases, ailments, and injuries. Cherokee traditional medicine has provided numerous aromatic and medicinal plants that not only were used by the Cherokee people, but were also adopted for use by European settlers in North America. Methods: The aim of this review was to examine the Cherokee ethnobotanical literature and the published phytochemical investigations on Cherokee medicinal plants and to correlate phytochemical constituents with traditional uses and biological activities. Results: Several Cherokee medicinal plants are still in use today as herbal medicines, including, for example, yarrow (Achillea millefolium), black cohosh (Cimicifuga racemosa), American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius), and blue skullcap (Scutellaria lateriflora). This review presents a summary of the traditional uses, phytochemical constituents, and biological activities of Cherokee aromatic and medicinal plants. Conclusions: The list is not complete, however, as there is still much work needed in phytochemical investigation and pharmacological evaluation of many traditional herbal medicines. Keywords: Cherokee; Native American; traditional herbal medicine; chemical constituents; pharmacology 1. Introduction Natural products have been an important source of medicinal agents throughout history and modern medicine continues to rely on traditional knowledge for treatment of human maladies [1]. Traditional medicines such as Traditional Chinese Medicine [2], Ayurvedic [3], and medicinal plants from Latin America [4] have proven to be rich resources of biologically active compounds and potential new drugs.

  • Phylogeny and Phylogenetic Taxonomy of Dipsacales, with Special Reference to Sinadoxa and Tetradoxa (Adoxaceae)
    PHYLOGENY AND PHYLOGENETIC TAXONOMY OF DIPSACALES, WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO SINADOXA AND TETRADOXA (ADOXACEAE) MICHAEL J. DONOGHUE,1 TORSTEN ERIKSSON,2 PATRICK A. REEVES,3 AND RICHARD G. OLMSTEAD 3 Abstract. To further clarify phylogenetic relationships within Dipsacales,we analyzed new and previously pub- lished rbcL sequences, alone and in combination with morphological data. We also examined relationships within Adoxaceae using rbcL and nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences. We conclude from these analyses that Dipsacales comprise two major lineages:Adoxaceae and Caprifoliaceae (sensu Judd et al.,1994), which both contain elements of traditional Caprifoliaceae.Within Adoxaceae, the following relation- ships are strongly supported: (Viburnum (Sambucus (Sinadoxa (Tetradoxa, Adoxa)))). Combined analyses of C ap ri foliaceae yield the fo l l ow i n g : ( C ap ri folieae (Diervilleae (Linnaeeae (Morinaceae (Dipsacaceae (Triplostegia,Valerianaceae)))))). On the basis of these results we provide phylogenetic definitions for the names of several major clades. Within Adoxaceae, Adoxina refers to the clade including Sinadoxa, Tetradoxa, and Adoxa.This lineage is marked by herbaceous habit, reduction in the number of perianth parts,nectaries of mul- ticellular hairs on the perianth,and bifid stamens. The clade including Morinaceae,Valerianaceae, Triplostegia, and Dipsacaceae is here named Valerina. Probable synapomorphies include herbaceousness,presence of an epi- calyx (lost or modified in Valerianaceae), reduced endosperm,and distinctive chemistry, including production of monoterpenoids. The clade containing Valerina plus Linnaeeae we name Linnina. This lineage is distinguished by reduction to four (or fewer) stamens, by abortion of two of the three carpels,and possibly by supernumerary inflorescences bracts. Keywords: Adoxaceae, Caprifoliaceae, Dipsacales, ITS, morphological characters, phylogeny, phylogenetic taxonomy, phylogenetic nomenclature, rbcL, Sinadoxa, Tetradoxa.

    48 THE MICHIGAN BOTANIST Vol. 52 NOTEWORTHY COLLECTIONS MICHIGAN Viburnum sieboldii Miq. Adoxaceae Siebold’s Arrowwood. Significance of the Report. First known naturalized occurrence in Michigan of a potentially invasive species. Previous Knowledge. Viburnum sieboldii is a large shrub or small tree native to Japan, where it occurs in thickets in lowlands and low mountains (Ohwi 1965). It was introduced to eastern North America in the late nineteenth century as a landscape ornamental, and is known to escape occasionally from cultivation in its introduced range (Kunstler 1993, Gleason and Cronquist 1991). Prior to this collection, naturalized populations of V. sieboldii were known in North America primarily from the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States, from Vir - ginia north to New York and Massachusetts (USDA NRCS 2014), although more recently it has also been reported from eastern and southern Ohio (Vincent et al. 2011). Escaped populations are known to establish in a variety of habitats, in - cluding mesic forests, stream edges, and suburban parks, and have been reported as abundant or invasive in New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania (Kunstler 1993, DeCandido and Lamont 2004, Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources 2014, Central New Jersey Invasive Species Strike Team 2014). On the other hand, Widrlechner and Iles (2002) found that V. sieboldii was at relatively low risk of naturalizing in Iowa because of climatic differences between there and the native habitat of V. sieboldii in Japan. However, it is un - known whether or how ornamental cultivars may differ from native genotypes in invasive potential. The genus Viburnum was long included in the Caprifoliaceae, but is now considered to belong to the Adoxaceae.
