  • Mountain Laurel Or Rhododendron? Recreation Area Vol
    U.S. Dept. of the Interior National Park Service . Spanning the Gap The newsletter of Delaware Water Gap National Mountain Laurel or Rhododendron? Recreation Area Vol. 7 No. 2 Summer 1984 These two members of the plant kingdom are often confused. Especially before they blossom, they resemble each other with their bushy appearance and long, dark-green leaves. Both plants ARE shrubs, and they are often seen growing together. Another thing they have in common: although some species have not been proven dangerous, it is well to consider ALL members of the laurel- (Above) Rhodendron. rhododendron-azalea group of plants as potentially toxic. The rhododendron (rhododenron maximum) is undoubtedly the most conspicuous understory plant in the mountain forests of Pennsylvania. In ravines and hollows and along shaded watercourses it often grows so luxuriantly as to form almost impenetrable tangles. In June or early July, large clusters of showy blossoms, ranging from white to light rosy- pink, appear at the ends of the branchlets. People travel many miles to witness the magnificent show which is provided by the rhododendron at flowering time. In the southern Appalachians the plant grows much larger than it ordinarily does in this area, often becoming a tree 25 feet or more in height. The dense thickets of rhododendron in the stream valleys and on the lower slopes of our mountains are favorite yarding grounds for deer when the Rhodendron. snows become deep in the wintertime. The dark- green, leathery leaves react to subfreezing temperatures by bending downward and rolling into a tight coil. Although the shrub is often browsed to excess, it has little or no nutritional value.

  • Central Appalachian Forest Planning Team Considered Information from the Nature Conservancy’S Population Viability Assessment Workshop (Morris Et Al
    Central Appalachian Forest Ecoregional Plan February 2001 The Nature Conservancy EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Central Appalachian Forest Ecoregional Plan The Nature Conservancy The Nature Conservancy’s Central Appalachian Forest ecoregion encompasses the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Great Valley, the Ridge and Valley, and the Allegheny Mountains of Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania. Valleys are mostly settled with farms and, more recently, urban and suburban development, but the vast majority of the hills and mountains of this ecoregion are forested. Lying so close to the major East Coast metropolitan areas of Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington, DC, the region represents a tremendous natural resource for both the local people and these urbanites. The high mountains, the lack of past glacial coverage, and the environmental diversity of this ecoregion have combined to make this area one of the most ecologically diverse regions of the eastern United States. This ecoregional plan has identified plants, animals, natural communities, and ecological systems that represent the most urgent conservation priorities for The Nature Conservancy and its partners. Using an exceptional Natural Heritage database and sound science, this plan recommends protection of 467 sites. Within this set of sites, The Nature Conservancy has selected 122 sites for immediate conservation action. The approximate area covered by the portfolio is 3,011,000 acres. Of this area, 2,530,000 acres occurs within large, roadless forest areas. Therefore, smaller sites cover an additional 481,000 acres. The Federal government manages approximately 46% of roadless forest area acreage and various state governments an additional 18%. The majority of the remaining area of roadless forest areas is privately owned.

  • Kalmia Procumbens (L.) Gift & Kron Synonym: Loiseleuria Procumbens (L.) Desv
    Kalmia procumbens (L.) Gift & Kron synonym: Loiseleuria procumbens (L.) Desv. alpine azalea Ericaceae - heath family status: State Threatened, BLM sensitive, USFS sensitive rank: G5 / S1 General Description: Adapted from Douglas et al. (1998-2002): A diffusely branched, dwarf evergreen shrub, trailing on the ground without rooting at the nodes. Stems 5-30 cm long, hairless or minutely hairy. Leaves with partially clasping stalks, opposite; blades leathery, bright green, narrowly elliptic, 3-8 x 1-3 mm, hairless above, short hairs below, with revolute margins. Floral Characteristics: Flowers 2-6, light to deep pink, clustered in axils of upper stem leaves, erect on short stalks 1-10 mm long, straight or curved. Corolla bell-shaped, 5-lobed, 4-5 mm long. Calyx red, 1.5-2.5 mm long, hairless, persistent. Stamens 5, anthers unawned, opening full length by slits. Fruits: Ovoid capsules 3-5 x 2-3 mm. Identifiable July to August. Identification Tips: Phyllodoce species are closely related to Kalmia, but they have alternate, linear leaves 6-16 mm long, usually 10 stamens, and anthers that open by two terminal pores. Cassiope species have smaller leaves (less than 5 mm long) lacking revolute margins, awned anthers that open by terminal pores, and usually nodding flowers. K. procumbens differs from K. microphylla (two varieties occur in Washington) in having capsules with 2-3 chambers, smaller petals ( 3-5 mm vs. 7-9 mm) cleft half their length, and 5 stamens. K. © Margaret Williams microphylla has capsules with 5 chambers, petals that are only shallowly cleft, and 10 stamens. Range: Circumpolar.

  • "How To" Tips on Hedge and Tree Maintenance
    How To Tips Landscaping Suggestions for Shady Yards Part of what makes Greenbelt so special is its abundant trees. However our wealth of tree cover can also present some challenges in yard landscaping. If your yard has partial to full shade this information sheet will provide some of the landscaping options for a beautiful GHI yard. Grass options for shady yards If your yard has at least partial sun during the summer months you can probably maintain a healthy grass layer by following these tips. Choose the right seed type. Mixes with Red Fescue and Perennial Rye tend to do better in shady yards. Make sure to read the label on any seed mix you buy to make sure what type of seed you are buying. Fertilize and aerate your yard in the spring. Don’t mow too short. Let the grass grow to 3-3.5 inches in shady areas. Short cutting will overstress the plants. See “How to Tips Establishing a Great Lawn” for more details. Leaving the turf behind If your yard is full shade during the summer, growing grass is probably not an option. Consider yourself lucky. This means you don’t need to worry about mowing. But you do need to cover bare spots to prevent erosion. Don’t worry there are options for heavily shaded yards that are both beautiful and manageable. Ground Moss Ground moss plants are a low-growing, no-maintenance grass alternative. Some mosses, massed together, give a smooth appearance, including rock cap mosses (Dicranum), fern mosses (Thuidium) and the aptly named "cushion" mosses (Leucobryum).

This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 License. Monograph No taxon left behind? – a critical taxonomic checklist of Carpinus and Ostrya (Coryloideae, Betulaceae) Norbert HOLSTEIN 1,* & Maximilian WEIGEND 2 1,2 Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn, Bonn, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany. * Corresponding author: [email protected] 2 Email: [email protected] Abstract. Hornbeams (Carpinus) and hop-hornbeams (Ostrya) are trees or large shrubs from the northern hemisphere. Currently, 43 species of Carpinus (58 taxa including subdivisions) and 8 species of Ostrya (9 taxa including sudivisions) are recognized. These are based on 175 (plus 16 Latin basionyms of cultivars) and 21 legitimate basionyms, respectively. We present an updated checklist with publication details and type information for all accepted names and the vast majority of synonyms of Carpinus and Ostrya, including the designation of 54 lectotypes and two neotypes. Cultivars are listed if validly described under the rules of the ICN. Furthermore, we consider Carpinus hwai Hu & W.C.Cheng to be a synonym of Carpinus fargesiana var. ovalifolia (H.J.P.Winkl.) Holstein & Weigend comb. nov. During the course of our work, we found 30 legitimate basionyms of non-cultivars that have been consistently overlooked since their original descriptions, when compared with the latest checklists and fl oristic treatments. As regional fl oras are highly important for taxonomic practice, we investigated the number of overlooked names and found that 78 basionyms were omitted at least once in the eight regional treatments surveyed.
