  • "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.

  • Arum Lily Control
    ARUM LILY CONTROL Nature Conservation Information Sheet Why control arum lilies? Arum lily (Zantedeschia aethiopica) is native to South Africa and was introduced to Australia as an ornamental garden plant. It has become a serious weed in the south west of Western Australia in both pasture and bushland, particularly in damp areas but also invading drier sites. Arum lily is spread by birds and invades areas of good quality native vegetation. Often forming dense monocultures it out competes native understorey species reducing biodiversity and decreasing habitat and food resources for native animals. Arum lily is poisonous to most stock, pets and humans. Symptoms can include swelling of the lips, tongue, and throat, stomach pain, vomiting and severe diarrhoea. Ingestion of the plant may be fatal. The toxicity is due to sequestering of calcium oxalate crystals and possibly other toxic compounds by the plant. Arum lily is a listed as a Declared Plant under the Biosecurity and Agriculture Management Act 2007. Understanding the plant biology Arum lily is a perennial plant. Each year the above ground part of the plant dies back to an underground tuberous rhizome. New leaves begin to regrow in autumn and flowering generally occurs from August to December. The plant then dies back in summer. As well as reproducing via seed, arum lily reproduces vegetatively. Vegetative propagation is by small rhizomes, which are produced on the sides of the main tuber. A 2 cm tuber can produce 25-30 small rhizomes in a year. Even very small rhizomes are capable of producing new growth or new plants if they are detached or the tuber dies.

Revision accepted: 18 December 2017. Abstract. Yuzammi. 2018. The diversity of aroids (Araceae) in Bogor Botanic Gardens, Indonesia: Collection, conservation and utilization. Biodiversitas 19: 140-152. Bogor Botanic Gardens is an ex-situ conservation centre, covering an area of 87 ha, with 12,376 plant specimens, collected from Indonesia and other tropical countries throughout the world. One of the richest collections in the Gardens comprises members of the aroid family (Araceae). The aroids are planted in several garden beds as well as in the nursery. They have been collected from the time of the Dutch era until now. These collections were obtained from botanical explorations throughout the forests of Indonesia and through seed exchange with botanic gardens around the world. Several of the Bogor aroid collections represent ‘living types’, such as Scindapsus splendidus Alderw., Scindapsus mamilliferus Alderw. and Epipremnum falcifolium Engl. These have survived in the garden from the time of their collection up until the present day. There are many aroid collections in the Gardens that have potentialities not widely recognised. The aim of this study is to reveal the diversity of aroids species in the Bogor Botanic Gardens, their scientific value, their conservation status, and their potential as ornamental plants, medicinal plants and food.

  • Solomon's Seal Cultivation
    SOLOMON’S SEAL: CULTIVATION & FOLKLORE Edited by C. F. McDowell, PhD Cortesia Herbal Products • www.solomonsseal.net Solomon's Seal (polygonatum biflorum, multiflorum, odoratum, etc.) is a medicinal herb that has diverse health restorative properties. It can be used as a herbal tincture, salve, tea or supplement. As an alternative remedy, it may offer relief, healing or mending to sports injuries and other conditions related to tendons, joints, ligaments, bones, bruises, connecting tissues, cartilage, etc. It also soothes and repairs gastrointestinal inflammation and injuries. It is effective for feminine issues, such as menstrual cramps, PMS, bleeding, and the like. Additionally, it is known to lower blood pressure and relieve dry coughs. Solomon's Seal has a rich history that goes back many thousands of years. Herbalists and healers, both in Europe and North America and the Far East, have written about its diverse effects on numerous conditions. In 2010, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (Natural Resources Conservation Service) identified Solomon's Seal as a Culturally Significant Plant, noting its medicinal and restorative value among North American Tribal (Original Nation) peoples. It is our understanding that the National Institutes of Health is presently researching the benefits of Solomon's Seal for heart health. Western documentation is largely anecdotal. Gardener's and nature lovers know the plant well, for it is easily identifiable and can be cultivated. Wellness practitioners using alternative healing methods are somewhat familiar with the plant and praise it; however, their number is still small and documentation is limited. Herbalists, chiropractors, among others are increasingly validating Solomon's Seal's effectiveness.

    Journal of Tropical Biology and Conservation 16: 119–123, 2019 ISSN 1823-3902 E-ISSN 2550-1909 Short Notes A preliminary survey of Araceae of Batu Timbang, Imbak Canyon Conservation Area (ICCA), Sabah, Malaysia Borneo. Kartini Saibeh*, Saafie Salleh Faculty of Sustainable Agriculture, Universiti Malaysia Sabah, Locked Bag No 3, 90509, Sandakan, Sabah, Malaysia *Corresponding Author: [email protected] Abstract During a scientific expedition to Batu Timbang, Imbak Canyon Conservation Area (ICCA), Sandakan, Sabah between 17 and 20 August 2017, 14 species in seven genera of Araceae were collected. The genera are Pothos (Pothos [Allopothos] sp.); Rhaphidophora (R. korthalsii, R. sylvestris, R. latevaginata); Scindapusus (S. pictus, S. longistipitatus, S. kinabaluensis, and Scindapsus sp. nov.); Schismatoglottis (S. wongii); Aglaonema sp.; Ooia sp. and Alocasia (A. robusta, A. sarawakensis, and A. wongii). Keywords: Aroids, Imbak Canyon Conservation Area ICCA, Malaysian Borneo. Introduction The Araceae, comprising seven subfamilies, 144 genera and about 4,000 described species, is a subcosmopolitan family in distribution but most abundant and diverse in the ever wet or humid tropics (Boyce & Croat, 2011; Cusimano et al., 2011). The family is defined by having minute sessile flowers on spadix and covered by a spathe. The spadix may bear either unisexual or bisexual flowers. Most of the climbers have bisexual type flowers while others have unisexual flowers. Ecologically, aroids can be found in streams, ponds and canals, terrestrial habitats, tidal mud, swamps and wasteland, forest floor, climbers, epiphytes and rheophytes (Mashhor et al., 2012). The aroids of Borneo currently stand at 575 species, of which 433 are formally described (Wong, 2016).

Historical Setting of the Guianan Plant Heritage The Guianas are embedded high in the green shoulder of northern South America, an area once known as the "Wild Coast". They are the only non-Latin American countries in South America, and are situated just north of the Equator in a configuration with the Amazon River of Brazil to the south and the Orinoco River of Venezuela to the west. The three Guianas comprise, from west to east, the countries of Guyana (area: 83,000 square miles; capital: Georgetown), Surinam (area: 63, 037 square miles; capital: Paramaribo) and French Guiana (area: 34, 740 square miles; capital: Cayenne). Perhaps the earliest physical contact between Europeans and the present-day Guianas occurred in 1500 when the Spanish navigator Vincente Yanez Pinzon, after discovering the Amazon River, sailed northwest and entered the Oyapock River, which is now the eastern boundary of French Guiana.
