DOCK STUDY All Rumex species except R. maritimus L. Golden Dock and Rumex acetosella L. Sheep Sorrel are considered on the Weed Seed Order as Secondary Noxious. There is Rumex acetosa L. Vegetable Sorrel (cultivated) that is on Grade Table XX. Rumex maritimus L. Golden Dock Polygonaceae Shape Elliptic. Triangular in cross section. Yellowish-brown. Ridge angles acute. Both apex and base equally pointed. Surface Texture Smooth. Achene is very light colored and equally pointed at both ends with the ridge lines not recurving. Rumex acetosella L. Sheep Sorrel Polygonaceae Shape is obovate, triangular. Reddish-brown. Achene mostly covered with rugose floral structures. Floral (calyx) parts are very rough and not winged. The achene is smooth and pointed at the apex and blunt at the base. The calyx usually persists and is rough textured. The achene has thin but rounded corners. Rumex acetosa L. Vegetable Sorrel (cultivated) Polygonaceae Shape is elliptic, triangular in cross section. Reddish-brown, base tip is yellow. Ridges on the achene are acute and sharp. Surface Texture Smooth. The achene is free of most floral parts. The longitudinal ridges are sharp angled in cross section. Both apex and base are pointed. Genus Rumex is comprised of some 200 species worldwide. They are quite a troublesome group because members easily cross-breed. The calyx of the ripe fruit is helpful (and often necessary) to identify the plant. All other Rumex species are considered to be Secondary Noxious in Canada. Here are four examples of them. Rumex crispus Curly/Sour Dock Rumex obtusifolius Bitter/Broadleaf Dock Rumex conglomeratus Cluster/Green Dock Rumex patientia Patience/Spinach Dock .

ISSN: 0975-8585 Research Journal of Pharmaceutical, Biological and Chemical Sciences Study Of Soil And Vegetation Characteristics In The Lower Gangetic Plains Of West Bengal Rimi Roy1*, Mousumi Maity2, and Sumit Manna3. 1Department of Botany, Jagannath Kishore College, Purulia -723101, West Bengal, India. 2Department of Botany, Scottish Church College, Kolkata-700006, West Bengal, India. 3Department of Botany, Moyna College, affiliated to Vidyasagar University, Moyna, Purba Medinipur -721629, West Bengal, India. ABSTRACT The Lower Gangetic Plains particularly from Dakhineshwar to Uluberia, West Bengal was investigated for the taxonomic and ecological analyses of its naturalized vegetation. The physicochemical studies of soil were also performed from this site. It was observed mangrove plants prevailed at zones where higher percentage of silt was present, while inland plants were grown where percentage of sand and clay were higher. A total of 95 plant species were recorded and their phytoclimatic study was done and the result revealed that percentage of phanerophytes was maximum among others. From phytosociological study it was observed that mangrove associates such as Cryptocoryne ciliata and Oryza coarctata showed highest IVI values, on the other hand Cynodon dactylon was dominated at non-mangrove site. The present analyses indicated existence of two distinct plant communities in the site with more or less stable vegetation pattern. Keywords: Lower Gangetic Plain, vegetation, diversity, community *Corresponding author May–June 2017 RJPBCS 8(3) Page No. 1558 ISSN: 0975-8585 INTRODUCTION Though India has a wide range of vegetation comprising of tropical rain forest, tropical deciduous forest, thorny forest, montane vegetation and mangrove forest, the Gangetic Plains in India form an important biogeographic zone in terms of vegetation characterized by fine alluvium and clay rich swamps, fertile soil and high water retention capacity.

Rumex Crispus L.; Curly Dock R
A WEED REPORT from the book Weed Control in Natural Areas in the Western United States This WEED REPORT does not constitute a formal recommendation. When using herbicides always read the label, and when in doubt consult your farm advisor or county agent. This WEED REPORT is an excerpt from the book Weed Control in Natural Areas in the Western United States and is available wholesale through the UC Weed Research & Information Center (wric.ucdavis.edu) or retail through the Western Society of Weed Science (wsweedscience.org) or the California Invasive Species Council (cal-ipc.org). Rumex crispus L.; curly dock R. crispus R. obtusifolius Rumex obtusifolius L.; broadleaf dock Curly and broadleaf dock Family: Polygonaceae Range: Curly dock is found throughout the U.S., including every western state. Broadleaf dock is found in most of the western states, except Nevada, Wyoming and North Dakota. Habitat: Ditches, roadsides, wetlands, meadows, riparian areas, alfalfa and pasture fields (especially with poor drainage), orchards and other disturbed moist areas. Plants prefer wet to moist soils but tolerate periods of dryness, and can grow in most climates and soil types. Origin: R. crispus, Eurasia; R. obtusifolia, western Europe. Impact: Both species can be very competitive and outcompete more desirable vegetation for water, nutrients and light. Under certain conditions, they can accumulate soluble oxalates making them toxic to livestock. California Invasive Plant Council (Cal-IPC) Inventory: R. crispus, Limited Invasiveness Both species are erect perennials from 1.5 to 3 ft tall, occasionally to 5 ft tall. Curly dock leaves are lanceolate and up to 20 inches long, whereas broadleaf dock has lanceolate-ovate leaves that are up to 30 inches long.

However, we strongly disagree that mowing should be recom- mended for the landscape management of invasive knotweeds on the grounds of lim- ited efficacy, practicality and environmental and economic sustainability. To achieve the successful control and long-term management of invasive rhizome-forming plants, we should do more with less, as the evidence guides us (Jones et al. 2018). Invasive Knotweed Management As Martin et al. (2020) state, Japanese knotweed is very difficult to control (Child 1999; Skibo 2007; Delbart et al.

Himalayan Knotweed
www.nonnativespecies.org Produced by Michael Collings and Nicola Morris Himalayan Knotweed Species Description Scientific name: Persicaria wallichii AKA: Cultivated Knotweed Native to: China, India, Afghanistan, Nepal and Pakistan Habitat: Abundant throughout both dry and moist areas including rocky outcrops, meadows, riparian woodlands and marshes. Himalayan Knotweed is a lesser known relative of the notorious Fallopia japonica Japanese Knotweed ( ) yet is forecast to cause many of the same economic, environmental and social problems once it becomes better established. Popularised as an attractive ornamental, this species was first recorded in the UK countryside in 1917, but has since spread from the confines of the garden via underground rhizomes (subterranean rootlike structures) and the illegal dumping of green waste throughout the British countryside. Similar in appearance to its Japanese counterpart, P. wallichii is comparatively shorter, growing to a height of approximately 1.8m. Furthermore, in contrast to Japanese Knotweed which possesses distinctly triangularly shaped leaves, the leaves of Himalayan Knotweed are much longer, growing to 20cm in length and finish in a distinct point. Its current range is largely restricted to Scotland, Wales and the England-Wales border region. Commonly found along road verges, streamsides and grasslands, plants can grow rapidly from root fragments which rapidly develop into dense mats. This plant has no natural predators in the UK and its spread is of significant concern to areas inhabited by numerous threatened species of flora and fauna alike. Leaves grow to 20cm long Key ID Features Creamy-white or pinkish flowers growing in clusters Distinctive red petiole Clearly defined midrib Elongated leaves ending in a definite point Identification throughout the Year Similar to Japanese Knotweed, P.

(Photo: Alexandra Pye) ISSN 1652-6880 ISBN 978-91-86195-34-2 © 2008 Alexandra Pye, Uppsala Tryck: SLU Service/Repro, Uppsala 2008 Ecological Studies of Rumex crispus L. Propagation, Competition and Demography Abstract The perennial weed species Rumex crispus L., or curled dock, is a major problem in agriculture in Sweden as well as in many other parts of the world. Its ability to establish quickly from seed, its persistent taproot system, high capacity of regrowth after cutting, and massive production of seed that remain viable in the seed bank for decades all contribute to the success of the weed. It is particularly problematic on dairy farms and in organic agriculture and difficult to control effectively, especially without the use of chemical herbicides. R. crispus and other weedy dock species have been well studied since the early 1900’s. However, the constant changes in agricultural practices and policies, affecting both the abundance and performance of the weed and the conditions for its control, call for a continuous renewal of the knowledge of the species. This thesis work was based upon a set of experimental studies dealing with several different processes in the life cycle of R. crispus. I have investigated time and pattern of seedling emergence, the effects of competition on the performance of juvenile plants, vegetative regeneration from underground parts, and population dynamics in an agricultural field.

Vascular Plant Species of the Comanche National Grassland in United States Department Southeastern Colorado of Agriculture Forest Service Donald L. Hazlett Rocky Mountain Research Station General Technical Report RMRS-GTR-130 June 2004 Hazlett, Donald L. 2004. Vascular plant species of the Comanche National Grassland in southeast- ern Colorado. Gen. Tech. Rep. RMRS-GTR-130. Fort Collins, CO: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 36 p. Abstract This checklist has 785 species and 801 taxa (for taxa, the varieties and subspecies are included in the count) in 90 plant families. The most common plant families are the grasses (Poaceae) and the sunflower family (Asteraceae). Of this total, 513 taxa are definitely known to occur on the Comanche National Grassland. The remaining 288 taxa occur in nearby areas of southeastern Colorado and may be discovered on the Comanche National Grassland. The Author Dr. Donald L. Hazlett has worked as an ecologist, botanist, ethnobotanist, and teacher in Latin America and in Colorado. He has specialized in the flora of the eastern plains since 1985. His many years in Latin America prompted him to include Spanish common names in this report, names that are seldom reported in floristic pub- lications. He is also compiling plant folklore stories for Great Plains plants. Since Don is a native of Otero county, this project was of special interest.

Notes on Two Alien Taxa of Rumex L. (Polygonaceae) Naturalized in the Hawaiian Islands1
39 Notes on Two Alien Taxa of Rumex L. (Polygonaceae) Naturalized in the Hawaiian Islands1 SERGEI L. MOSYAKIN (M.G. Kholodny Institute of Botany, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, 2 Tereshchenkivska Str., Kiev, 252601, Ukraine) & WARREN L. WAGNER2 (Department of Botany, MRC-166, National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. 20560, USA) During his stay at the National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, Washington DC (US), in October 1995, the senior author studied specimens of alien taxa of the genus Rumex L. (Polygonaceae) collected in the Hawaiian Islands. As a result of these studies, 2 taxa new for the archipelago were discovered in the US collections, and among the BISH specimens sent on loan, one of which (Rumex conglomeratus Murray) was briefly reported in last year’s HBS Records (Wagner et al., 1997). Here we report an additional subspecies of R. crispus naturalized in the archipelago, give descriptions of both species, and provide a revised key to all of the species of Rumex in the Hawaiian Islands. Abbreviations in the key follow Wagner et al. (1990). Rumex conglomeratus Murray, Prodr. Stirp. Goetting: 52. 1770. Vernacular names: clustered dock, clustered green dock. Erect perennial herbs, normally glabrous (or occasionally lower surface of leaves indistinctly papillose along veins); stems 3–8(-12) dm long, branched in the upper 2/3 (sometimes branched with several stems from the base). Basal and lower cauline leaves oblong-lanceolate, obovate-lanceolate, or lanceolate, normally (5-)10–30 long, 2.0–6.0 cm wide; base broadly cuneate, rounded or truncate (rarely subcordate); apex subacute (occasionally obtuse); margin entire to weakly undulate.

Japanese Knotweed (PDF)
Japanese Knotweed It is listed by the World Conservation Union as one of the world's worst invasive species.[15] The invasive root system and strong growth can damage concrete foundations, buildings, flood fences, roads, paving, retaining walls and architectural sites. It can also reduce the capacity of channels in flood to carry water.[16] It is a frequent colonizer of temperate riparian ecosystems, roadsides and waste places. It forms thick, dense colonies that completely crowd out any other herbaceous species and is now considered one of the worst invasive exotics in parts of the eastern United States. The success of the species has been partially attributed to its tolerance of a very wide range of soil types, pH and salinity. Its rhizomes can survive temperatures of −35 °C (−31 °F) and can extend 7 metres (23 ft) horizontally and 3 metres (9.8 ft) deep, making removal by excavation extremely difficult. The plant is also resilient to cutting, vigorously resprouting from the roots. Identification Identification of Japanese knotweed is not always easy. Many other plants are suspected of being knotweed, due often to the similar appearance of leaves and stems. Dogwood, lilac, Houttuynia (Houttuynia cordata), ornamental Bistorts such as Red Bistort (Persicaria amplexicaulis), lesser knotweed (Persicaria campanulata), Himalayan Balsam (Impatiens glandulifera), Broadleaved Dock (Rumex obtusifolius), Bindweed (Convolvulus arvensis), bamboo, Himalayan Honeysuckle (Leycesteria formosa), and Russian Vine (Fallopia baldschuanica) have been suspected of being Fallopia japonica.[17 Japanese knotweed has a large underground network of roots (rhizomes). To eradicate the plant the roots need to be killed. All above-ground portions of the plant need to be controlled repeatedly for several years in order to weaken and kill the entire patch.
