A Taxonomic Revision of the Eastern North American and Eastern Asian Disjunct Genus Brachyelytrutn (Poaceae): Evidence from Morphology, Phytogeography and Aflps

Lammers ABSTRACT. Morphological and phytogeographical data support the recognition of three distinct species in the genus Bmch/eïytrum: B. japonicum, B. ereclum, and B. aristosum. Bmchyelytrum japonicum is confined to eastern Asia and is charac- terized by narrow leaf blades (0.5-0.8 cm wide), long lower glumes {0.2-2.0 mm long), and long rachiUas (6.8-8.8 mm long). Bmchyelytrum ¿rectum is distributed throughout much of the eastern United States, from northwestern Minnesota south to central Louisiana, east to northern Florida and north to northeastern New York. Brachyelytrum erectum is characterized by long hispid hairs (0.2-0.9 mm long) on the veins of the lemma, wide lemmas (0.8-1.8 mm wide), and a conspicuous lemma mid-vein. Brachyelytrum aristosum has a more northern distribution, occurring in southern Canada from southern Ontario to Newfoundland, the northern adjacent United States and through the Appalachian mountains to northwestern North Carolina. Brachyelytrum aristosum is characterized by short scaberulous hairs (0.06-0.2 mm long) on the lemma and narrow lemmas (0.7-1.4 mm wide) that are weakly veined. -

Third Infantry Division Highway Corridor Study
THIRD INFANTRY DIVISION HIGHWAY CORRIDOR STUDY Task 7 Study Alignments and Design Levels Draft Technical Memorandum 1. Executive Summary Section 1927 of the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA‐LU) (P.L. 109‐59) requires “a report that describes the steps and estimated funding necessary to designate and construct a route for the 3rd Infantry Division Highway,” extending from Savannah, Georgia to Knoxville, Tennessee, byy wa of Augusta, Georgia. The intent of this study is to develop planning level cost estimates for potential corridors connecting these urban areas. This information will be presented to Congress to fulfill the statutory language and present an overview of the steps necessary to construct such a corridor. The study is not intended to select an alternative for implementation; it will not necessarily lead to any further planning, design, right‐of‐way acquisition, or construction activities for any specific highway improvement. This technical memorandum recommends initial study corridors and design levels for the 3rd Infantry Division Highway corridors along with supporting justification and the rationale for the recommendations. Input from the Expert Working Group (EWG) was considered during the development of the Alignments and Design Levels. The EWG is a panel of area transportation officials and federal resource agencies that helps guide the project. The EWG serves as a sounding board to weigh technical options, examine issues from multiple perspectives and, by drawing upon its collective experience, help the team solve problems. Tasks 8‐9 in the study involve examining any corridors recommended for additional study in greater detail. -
