  • Checklist Flora of the Former Carden Township, City of Kawartha Lakes, on 2016
    Hairy Beardtongue (Penstemon hirsutus) Checklist Flora of the Former Carden Township, City of Kawartha Lakes, ON 2016 Compiled by Dale Leadbeater and Anne Barbour © 2016 Leadbeater and Barbour All Rights reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system or database, or transmitted in any form or by any means, including photocopying, without written permission of the authors. Produced with financial assistance from The Couchiching Conservancy. The City of Kawartha Lakes Flora Project is sponsored by the Kawartha Field Naturalists based in Fenelon Falls, Ontario. In 2008, information about plants in CKL was scattered and scarce. At the urging of Michael Oldham, Biologist at the Natural Heritage Information Centre at the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry, Dale Leadbeater and Anne Barbour formed a committee with goals to: • Generate a list of species found in CKL and their distribution, vouchered by specimens to be housed at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto, making them available for future study by the scientific community; • Improve understanding of natural heritage systems in the CKL; • Provide insight into changes in the local plant communities as a result of pressures from introduced species, climate change and population growth; and, • Publish the findings of the project . Over eight years, more than 200 volunteers and landowners collected almost 2000 voucher specimens, with the permission of landowners. Over 10,000 observations and literature records have been databased. The project has documented 150 new species of which 60 are introduced, 90 are native and one species that had never been reported in Ontario to date.

  • Alyssum Is Back
    Alyssum is Back A very fine stemmed, short, yellow blooming annual weed is now present, according to Extension Agent Mary Rumph. Yellow alyssum (Alyssum alyssoides) and desert alyssum (Alyssum desertorum) are non-native, annual, weedy forbs (i.e., herbs) that are becoming more prevalent and problematic, especially in western, central, and southeastern Montana. Though plentiful, the alyssum is fine stemmed, flowers and then dies, and is often not noticed later in the growing season, said Rumph. Yellow alyssum and desert alyssum are native to northern Africa, Eastern Europe, and western Asia. Brought to North America for medicinal reasons, these plant species are purported to cure hiccups, mental illness, and rabies. Yellow alyssum, also known as pale madwort, was first reported in Canada in 1896 and believed to have arrived in the U.S. even earlier. Desert alyssum, sometimes called dwarf alyssum or desert madwort, was first reported in the U.S. in 1941 and Canada in 1955. Together, these two weeds now infest 37 U.S. States and seven Canadian provinces. Why the current concern about these weeds, several decades after their arrival in Montana? Why have these weeds become more abundant and widespread in recent years? Reasons for the expansion of yellow alyssum and desert alyssum are not completely understood, but serious droughts that have weakened desirable plants; mild winters that favored seedling establishment of yellow alyssum and desert alyssum; and reduced tillage in cropland farming systems have most likely contributed. Yellow alyssum and desert alyssum both belong to the Mustard family (Brassicaceae). They grow from three to 10 inches tall, and each plant is usually multi-stemmed, branching from the base.

  • ANATOMICAL CHARACTERISTICS and ECOLOGICAL TRENDS in the XYLEM and PHLOEM of BRASSICACEAE and RESEDACAE Fritz Hans Schweingruber
    IAWA Journal, Vol. 27 (4), 2006: 419–442 ANATOMICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND ECOLOGICAL TRENDS IN THE XYLEM AND PHLOEM OF BRASSICACEAE AND RESEDACAE Fritz Hans Schweingruber Swiss Federal Research Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape, CH-8903 Birmensdorf, Switzerland (= corresponding address) SUMMARY The xylem and phloem of Brassicaceae (116 and 82 species respectively) and the xylem of Resedaceae (8 species) from arid, subtropical and tem- perate regions in Western Europe and North America is described and ana- lysed, compared with taxonomic classifications, and assigned to their ecological range. The xylem of different life forms (herbaceous plants, dwarf shrubs and shrubs) of both families consists of libriform fibres and short, narrow vessels that are 20–50 μm in diameter and have alter- nate vestured pits and simple perforations. The axial parenchyma is para- tracheal and, in most species, the ray cells are exclusively upright or square. Very few Brassicaceae species have helical thickening on the vessel walls, and crystals in fibres. The xylem anatomy of Resedaceae is in general very similar to that of the Brassicaceae. Vestured pits occur only in one species of Resedaceae. Brassicaceae show clear ecological trends: annual rings are usually dis- tinct, except in arid and subtropical lowland zones; semi-ring-porosity decreases from the alpine zone to the hill zone at lower altitude. Plants with numerous narrow vessels are mainly found in the alpine zone. Xylem without rays is mainly present in plants growing in the Alps, both at low and high altitudes. The reaction wood of the Brassicaceae consists primarily of thick-walled fibres, whereas that of the Resedaceae contains gelatinous fibres.

This information represents what was known at the end of the 1994 field season. These maps may not represent the most recent information on distribution and range for these taxa but it does illustrate geographic distribution across the assessment area. For many of these species, this is the first time information has been compiled on this scale. For the continued viability of many of these taxa, it is imperative that we begin to manage for them across their range and across administrative boundaries. Of the 173 taxa analyzed, there are maps for 153 taxa. For those taxa that were not tracked by heritage programs, we were not able to generate range maps.

  • Vegetation Description, Rare Plant Inventory, and Vegetation Monitoring for Craig Mountain, Idaho
    VEGETATION DESCRIPTION, RARE PLANT INVENTORY, AND VEGETATION MONITORING FOR CRAIG MOUNTAIN, IDAHO by Michael Mancuso and Robert Moseley Conservation Data Center December 31, 1994 Idaho Department of Fish and Game Natural Resource Policy Bureau 600 South Walnut, P.O. Box 25 Boise, Idaho 83707 Jerry M. Conley, Director Bonneville Power Administration Project # 92-069 SUMMARY During the 1993 and 1994 field seasons, wildlife, habitat/vegetation, timber, and other resources were systematically inventoried at Craig Mountain to provide Fish and Game managers with information needed to draft an ecologically-based management plan. The results of the habitat/vegetation portion of the inventory are contained in this report. Our field investigations concentrated on, but were not limited to, Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) and Idaho Department of Fish and Game (IDFG) lands. Our responsibilities for the Craig Mountain project included: 1) vegetation data collection, and vegetation classification, to help produce a GIS-generated vegetation map, 2) to determine the distribution and abundance of rare plant populations and make recommendations concerning their management, and 3) to establish a vegetation monitoring program to evaluate the effects of Fish and Game management actions, and to assess progress towards meeting habitat mitigation goals. A steep 4000 foot elevational gradient, highly dissected, complex topography, and variable edaphic conditions have created a diverse array of habitats at Craig Mountain. The rolling highlands dominated by conifer forest are sharp contrast to the rugged canyon faces supporting grassland-dominated and associated shrubfield, riparian and woodland vegetation. This diverse landscape provides important habitat for many game and non-game wildlife species. The diverse environmental conditions also provide for high floristic diversity at Craig Mountain.
