Rare Plant Monitoring 2017
RARE PLANT MONITORING 2017 Ajuga pyramidalis Ophrys insectifera © Zoe Devlin What is it? In 2017, we decided to carry out a small pilot scheme on rare plant monitoring. Where experienced plant recorders had submitted recent casual records of rare plants to the Centre, they were asked if they would be willing to visit their rare plant population once a year during its flowering period and to count the total number of individuals present. The response to the scheme from the small number of recorders contacted has been overwhelming positive and it has resulted in very valuable data being collected in 2017. Data on the rare plant location, the count and additional information about the site is submitted online through a dedicated web portal set up by the Data Centre. The project was discussed and agreed with the NPWS. It is framed around the 2016 Vascular Plant Red List and is mainly focused on monitoring vulnerable, near threatened and rare least concern species. Why is it important? When assessing the national FAST FACTS 2017 conservation status of very rare species according to IUCN Red List methodology, it is recommended that 37 you use annual population count data. That’s the total number of rare plant Given the numbers of rare plant populations that were monitored in the species a country might have, this 2017 pilot information can be difficult to collect in any volume. This citizen science project relies on the generosity of 22 expert volunteers to ‘keep an eye’ on That’s the number of rare plant species rare populations near them and to that were monitored in 2017 submit standardised count data once a year. -

This multi-stemmed plant grows to one metre tall, with the aerial growth normally dying back during winter (Figure 1B). The plants have an extensive root system spreading to over two metres deep. These much branched vertical and horizontal roots bear buds that produce new aerial growth each year [2], in four different growth forms (Figure 1A): Figure 1: A.

Silverleaf Nightshade
Washington State University WHITMAN COUNTY EXTENSION AUGUST 2011 STEVE'S Silverleaf Nightshade Also Known As: white horsenettle, purple nightshade, tomato weed, trompillo Silverleaf Nightshade is a Class A Noxious Weed: Non-native species that are limited in distribution in Washington. State law requires that these weeds be eradicated. Silverleaf Nightshade (Solanum elaeagnifolium Cav.), Native to southwestern United States and northern Mexico is an upright, branched perennial herb that grows 1–3 feet tall. The plant is covered with tiny star like hairs that give it a silvery green or yellowish- green appearance. Stems are armed with a few slender, yellow spines. The leaves of silverleaf nightshade are alternate along the stem, have wavy margins, and are lance-shaped to narrowly oblong. Blue to violet (rarely white) flowers are about an inch wide and have 5 fused petals and showy yellow anthers that protrude from the flower center. The flowers grow in clusters along branches of the flowering stem, with the earliest flower growing alone at the tip of the main stem. The fruits are orange-yellow to dark colored, globe-shaped berries (resembling miniature tomatoes) that often persist into the winter and contain about 75 tiny brownish seeds per berry. The plant has extensive horizontal rhizomes and roots that can grow very deep (6–10 feet). Root fragments as small as half an inch can regenerate and sections of taproot can remain viable for up to 15 months. The plant can spread by seed, root fragments, and creeping roots that give rise to bud shoots.

Pest Risk Analysis for Solanum Elaeagnifolium and International Management Measures Proposed
Pest risk analysis for Solanum elaeagnifolium and international management measures proposed S. Brunel EPPO, 21 Bld Richard Lenoir, Paris, 75011, France; e-mail: [email protected] Solanum elaeagnifolium Cav., originating from the Americas, has been unintentionally introduced in all the other continents as a contaminant of commodities, and is considered one of the most inva- sive plants worldwide. In the Euro-Mediterranean area, it is a huge threat in North African countries. It is also present in European Mediterranean countries (France, Greece, Italy and Spain), but still has a limited distribution. Through a logical sequence of questions, pest risk analysis (PRA) assessed the probability of S. elaeagnifolium entering, establishing, spreading and having negative impacts in European and Mediterranean countries. As this assessment revealed that the entry of the pest would result in an unacceptable risk, pest risk management options were selected to prevent the introduction of the plant. Preventive measures on plants or plant products traded internationally may directly or indirectly affect international trade. According to international treaties, PRA is a technical justification of such international preventive measures. Almost all possible commodities are traded internationally, repre- unacceptable risk, pest risk management selects options to senting a value of EUR 6.5 trillion (USD 8.9 trillion) in 2004 prevent the introduction of the species or to control it.

Zernov & Shahla N. Mirzayeva Summary: Solanum elaeagnifolium, a native species of South America, which was not previously observed in Caucasus, is herewith newly recorded from Absheron Peninsula, Republic of Azerbaijan. Keywords: Solanum elaeagnifolium, Solanaceae, Republic of Azerbaijan, Absheron Peninsula, Caucasus, neophyte, invasive species During floristic investigations, the authors collected some specimens of invasive plants from Absheron Peninsula (Republic of Azerbaijan). Among them was a specimen that could not be identified using the ‘Keybook for the Caucasian plants’ (Grossheim 1949), ‘Flora of Absheron’ (Karjagin 1952), ‘Flora of Azerbaijan’ (Agajanov 1957), ‘Flora of Caucasus’ (Kutateladze 1967) and ‘Flora of Turkey’ (Baytop 1978). Following ‘Flora Iranica’ (Schönbeck-Temesy 1972), ‘Flora Europaea’ (Hawkes & Edmonds 1972) and ‘Flowers of Turkey’ (Pils 2006), the specimens could be identified as Solanum elaeagnifolium Cavara (Fig. 1 A–D). Geographically closest earlier recordings were made from Turkey (Pils 2006; Ilçim & Behçet 2007). Solanum elaeagnifolium Cavara, 1795, Icon. Descr. 3:22, tab. 243. Multi-stemmed, perennial herbaceous or semi-shrub plant with dense, whitish, stellate indumentum, usually with scattered, conspicuous, usually reddish spikes on stem, mature leaves and calyx; stem 50 – 80 cm or higher, erect, sparingly branched.
