  • "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.

  • Traits-Based and Perception Approaches for Management of Invasive Exotic Species from Tropical Botanic Gardens
    TRAITS-BASED AND PERCEPTION APPROACHES FOR MANAGEMENT OF INVASIVE EXOTIC SPECIES FROM TROPICAL BOTANIC GARDENS DECKY INDRAWAN JUNAEDI Submitted in the total fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy June 2018 School of Biosciences University of Melbourne 1 Abstract ABSTRACT The factors driving plant invasion are key questions in invasion ecology. Traits also can act as indicators of plant invasion processes. If traits are proven to be a significant proxy for plant invasiveness, then invasiveness of exotic species may be efficiently predicted by measuring traits. Botanic gardens have consistently supported ex-situ plant conservation, research, and environmental education. However, botanic gardens can also be pathways of exotic invasive species introduction. Botanic gardens should become a strategic stakeholder for exotic invasive plant species management. For exotic invasive species management, we cannot solely rely on ecological approaches. Social perception is an important component of invasive species management. Social perception may become either a problem or a solution for invasive species management. These perceptions should be clarified among relevant stakeholders to minimize conflicts of interest among relevant stakeholders of invasive species management. This study focuses on invasive plant species in tropical environments and the aim of this study is to answer the following questions: (1) Focusing on the relationship between exotic species abundance and traits in the tropical ecosystem, what traits

  • Notes on Variation and Geography in Rayjacksonia Phyllocephala (Asteraceae: Astereae)
    Nesom, G.L., D.J. Rosen, and S.K. Lawrence. 2013. Notes on variation and geography in Rayjacksonia phyllocephala (Asteraceae: Astereae). Phytoneuron 2013-53: 1–15. Published 12 August 2013. ISSN 2153 733X NOTES ON VARIATION AND GEOGRAPHY IN RAYJACKSONIA PHYLLOCEPHALA (ASTERACEAE: ASTEREAE) GUY L. NESOM 2925 Hartwood Drive Fort Worth, Texas 76109 [email protected] DAVID J. ROSEN Department of Biology Lee College Baytown, Texas 77522-0818 [email protected] SHIRON K. LAWRENCE Department of Biology Lee College Baytown, Texas 77522-0818 ABSTRACT Inflorescences of Rayjacksonia phyllocephala in the disjunct Florida population system are characterized by heads on peduncles with leaves mostly reduced to linear bracts; heads in inflorescences of the Mexico-Texas-Louisiana system are immediately subtended by relatively unreduced leaves. The difference is consistent and justifies recognition of the Florida system as R. phyllocephala var. megacephala (Nash) D.B. Ward. Scattered waifs between the two systems are identified here as one or the other variety, directly implying their area of origin. In the eastern range of var. phyllocephala , at least from Brazoria County, Texas, eastward about 300 miles to central Louisiana, leaf margins vary from entire to deeply toothed-spinulose. In contrast, margins are invariably toothed-spinulose in var. megacephala as well as in the rest of southeastern Texas (from Brazoria County southwest) into Tamaulipas, Mexico. In some of the populations with variable leaf margins, 70-95% of the individuals have entire to mostly entire margins. KEY WORDS : Rayjacksonia , morphological variation, leaf margins, disjunction, waifs Rayjacksonia phyllocephala (DC.) Hartman & Lane (Gulf Coast camphor-daisy) is an abundant and conspicuous species of the shore vegetation around the Gulf of Mexico.

  • Literature Cited
    Literature Cited Robert W. Kiger, Editor This is a consolidated list of all works cited in volumes 19, 20, and 21, whether as selected references, in text, or in nomenclatural contexts. In citations of articles, both here and in the taxonomic treatments, and also in nomenclatural citations, the titles of serials are rendered in the forms recommended in G. D. R. Bridson and E. R. Smith (1991). When those forms are abbre- viated, as most are, cross references to the corresponding full serial titles are interpolated here alphabetically by abbreviated form. In nomenclatural citations (only), book titles are rendered in the abbreviated forms recommended in F. A. Stafleu and R. S. Cowan (1976–1988) and F. A. Stafleu and E. A. Mennega (1992+). Here, those abbreviated forms are indicated parenthetically following the full citations of the corresponding works, and cross references to the full citations are interpolated in the list alphabetically by abbreviated form. Two or more works published in the same year by the same author or group of coauthors will be distinguished uniquely and consistently throughout all volumes of Flora of North America by lower-case letters (b, c, d, ...) suffixed to the date for the second and subsequent works in the set. The suffixes are assigned in order of editorial encounter and do not reflect chronological sequence of publication. The first work by any particular author or group from any given year carries the implicit date suffix “a”; thus, the sequence of explicit suffixes begins with “b”. Works missing from any suffixed sequence here are ones cited elsewhere in the Flora that are not pertinent in these volumes.

  • Vascular Flora and Vegetation Classification of the South Atlantic Coastal Plain Limestone Forest Association of Central Georgia
    VASCULAR FLORA AND VEGETATION CLASSIFICATION OF THE SOUTH ATLANTIC COASTAL PLAIN LIMESTONE FOREST ASSOCIATION OF CENTRAL GEORGIA by PATRICK SUMNER LYNCH (Under the Direction of J.L. Hamrick) ABSTRACT The South Atlantic Coastal Plain Limestone forest is a globally imperiled (G2) forest association known only from the upper Coastal Plain of central Georgia. These calcareous forest communities support diverse floristic assemblages unique among the Georgia Coastal Plain, but have not been subject to detailed floristic study. I conducted a comprehensive floristic inventory, multivariate community analyses and floristic quality assessments to document composition, elucidate community structure and underlying physiographic regimes, and assess habitat integrity for seven sites in Houston, Bleckley and Twiggs counties. Community analyses revealed twelve community types within two floristically defined domains corresponding to uplands and slopes, and bottomlands, respectively, and governed largely by moisture content and degree of inclination. Floristic quality assessments revealed varying degrees of floristic quality and habitat integrity corresponding primarily to local physiography and disturbance history. Floristic inventory recovered 339 vascular plant taxa representing 218 genera in 98 families, including 17 rare Georgia species.

Apartado postal 70- 233, 04510 México D. F., Mexico. [email protected] Abstract. Trees or tree-like plants are defined here broadly as perennial, self-supporting plants with a total height of at least 5 m (without ascending leaves or inflorescences), and with one or several erect stems with a diameter of at least 10 cm. We continue our compilation of an updated list of all native Mexican tree species with the dicotyledonous families Asteraceae (36 species, 39% endemic), Leguminosae with its 3 subfamilies (449 species, 41% endemic), and Rubiaceae (134 species, 24% endemic). The tallest tree species reach 20 m in the Asteraceae, 70 m in the Leguminosae, and also 70 m in the Rubiaceae. The species-richest genus is Lonchocarpus with 67 tree species in Mexico. Three legume genera are endemic to Mexico (Conzattia, Hesperothamnus, and Heteroflorum). The appendix lists all species, including their original publication, references of taxonomic revisions, existence of subspecies or varieties, maximum height in Mexico, and endemism status. Key words: biodiversity, flora, tree definition. Resumen. Las plantas arbóreas o arborescentes se definen aquí en un sentido amplio como plantas perennes que se pueden sostener por sí solas, con una altura total de al menos 5 m (sin considerar hojas o inflorescencias ascendentes) y con uno o varios tallos erectos de un diámetro de al menos 10 cm.

  • Florida Golden Aster Chrysopsis (=Heterotheca) Floridana Small
    Florida Golden Aster Chrysopsis (=Heterotheca) floridana Small he Florida golden aster is a perennial herb in the Federal Status: Endangered (May 16, 1986) aster family with a distribution limited to a few Critical Habitat: None Designated Tcounties in west-central Florida. The Florida golden Florida Status: Endangered aster occurs in sand pine and oak scrub or in disturbed areas at the edges of scrub. Recovery Plan Status: Contribution (May 1999) This account represents South Floridas contribution to Geographic Coverage: South Florida the existing recovery plan for the Florida golden aster (FWS 1988). Figure 1. County distribution of the Florida golden aster. Description Chrysopsis floridana is a perennial herb with stems that are woody toward the base and non-woody above. The plants have basal rosettes (clusters of leaves at ground level) with leaves 4 to 10 cm long, 1.5 to 2.0 cm wide; the leaves of the rosette are densely short-wooly pubescent. The stem leaves are nearly the same size from the top to the bottom of the stem; they are obovate-elliptic, slightly clasping the stem, entire, and densely short-wooly pubescent. The flower heads are grouped into a more or less flat-topped cluster of 1 to 25 heads at the top of the stem. Each head is slightly over 2.5 cm in diameter. Both the central disc and the rays are golden yellow. C. floridana is distinguished from other members of its genus by its perennial habit, the woodiness of its stems, the wooliness and the shape of the stem and the leaves, and the way the flower heads are arranged in a flat-topped cluster (Semple 1981, Wunderlin et al.

    Semple, J.C. and F. Jabbour. 2019. Type specimens of Inula (Pityopsis) graminifolia (Asteraceae: Astereae). Phytoneuron 2019-22. 1-9. Published 25 April 2019. ISSN 2153 733X TYPE SPECIMENS OF INULA (PITYOPSIS) GRAMINIFOLIA (ASTERACEAE: ASTEREAE) JOHN C. SEMPLE Department of Biology, University of Waterloo Waterloo, Ontario Canada N2L 3G1 [email protected] and FLORIAN JABBOUR Institut de Systématique, Évolution, Biodiversité (ISYEB) Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle, CNRS, Sorbonne Université, EPHE, Université des Antilles, 57 rue Cuvier, CP39, 75005 Paris, France ABSTRACT Recent proposed changes to the nomenclature of the goldenaster genus Pityopsis disagreed significantly on the application of the name Inula graminifolia, the basionym of Pityopsis graminifolia. In order to clarify the problem, the three known collections of Inula graminifolia in the Herbarium of the Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle, Paris (P) collected by André Michaux were examined. The holotype collection has small heads with many stipitate glands on the distal portion of the phyllaries and obvious long hairs on the peduncles. This is also the case for the isotype collection. A third collection by Michaux is mixed with a shoot with larger heads and shoots with smaller heads and all with phyllaries with few or no stipitate glands. Thus, the third specimen is not part of the same taxon as the holotype and isotype. The Pityopsis graminifolia (Michx.) Nutt. complex includes goldenasters native to the southeastern USA, southern Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, western Honduras, and the Bahamas. The complex includes either a single species with multiple varieties (Semple & Bowers 1985; Semple 2006) or the complex might be divided into multiple species with more narrowly defined morphological and ecological limits.
