  • TALL BEECH FERN a New Beech
    TALL BEECH FERN A new beech fern in New England, New York, and Canada Arthur V. Gilman 16 January 2020 This document is meant to be an aid to identification of Phegopteris excelsior, tall beech fern, which has recently been recognized as a new, but cryptic, species. As outlined below, evidence shows it is of hybrid origin, with half or even three quarters of its genome contributed by long beech fern and the rest by another beech fern species—but what (and where) that species may be, is yet unknown. Its resemblance to the long beech fern in its heritage means tall beech fern can be difficult to identify. My experience over the past 25 years, however, is that it can be field-identified—at least, if plants are relatively well-grown and robust. I have found it in approximately 15–20 locations, more or less evenly divided between central Maine and northern Vermont, where most of my field work has been done. This guide is primarily visual, showing well-grown plants and giving some pointers on the diagnostic characters. Unfortunately, no completely unequivocal visual characters have emerged and only chromosome number and molecular markers are one hundred percent diagnostic. Nevertheless, avid pteridologists should be able to confidently identify a large majority of plants encountered, based on the images presented here. I wish to thank Niki Patel and Susan Fawcett, my co-authors on the paper that formalized P. excelsior, with special thanks also extended to David Barrington and Heather Driscoll. These botanists accomplished laboratory work and data analysis far beyond my capabilities, which are mainly those of a field botanist.

During the last decade, evidence has been accumulating about the polyphyletism within Blechnum Linnaeus (1753: 1077) (e.g. Shepherd et al. 2007, Rothfels et al. 2012, Gabriel y Galán et al. 2013, Perrie et al. 2014). Recent molecular studies (Gasper et al. 2016a) lead to an updated classification attempting to put morphological characters into a natural, phylogenetic relation (Gasper et al. 2016b). Because of these changes, the species most people associate with the genus Blechnum, B. spicant (Linnaeus 1753: 1066) Roth (1794: 56), is now treated under Struthiopteris Scopoli (1754: 25). Struthiopteris spicant (L.) F.W.Weiss (1770: 287), a widely distributed plant in the Northern Hemisphere, is characterized by having strongly dimorphic fronds (Lawalrée 1964), but it shows certain morphological variability that has led to the recognition of several forms, which have been taxonomically treated in several ways, the varietal rank being the currently accepted.

  • Ferns of the National Forests in Alaska
    Ferns of the National Forests in Alaska United States Forest Service R10-RG-182 Department of Alaska Region June 2010 Agriculture Ferns abound in Alaska’s two national forests, the Chugach and the Tongass, which are situated on the southcentral and southeastern coast respectively. These forests contain myriad habitats where ferns thrive. Most showy are the ferns occupying the forest floor of temperate rainforest habitats. However, ferns grow in nearly all non-forested habitats such as beach meadows, wet meadows, alpine meadows, high alpine, and talus slopes. The cool, wet climate highly influenced by the Pacific Ocean creates ideal growing conditions for ferns. In the past, ferns had been loosely grouped with other spore-bearing vascular plants, often called “fern allies.” Recent genetic studies reveal surprises about the relationships among ferns and fern allies. First, ferns appear to be closely related to horsetails; in fact these plants are now grouped as ferns. Second, plants commonly called fern allies (club-mosses, spike-mosses and quillworts) are not at all related to the ferns. General relationships among members of the plant kingdom are shown in the diagram below. Ferns & Horsetails Flowering Plants Conifers Club-mosses, Spike-mosses & Quillworts Mosses & Liverworts Thirty of the fifty-four ferns and horsetails known to grow in Alaska’s national forests are described and pictured in this brochure. They are arranged in the same order as listed in the fern checklist presented on pages 26 and 27. 2 Midrib Blade Pinnule(s) Frond (leaf) Pinna Petiole (leaf stalk) Parts of a fern frond, northern wood fern (p.

  • Smooth Woodsia & Endangered Species Woodsia Glabella R
    Natural Heritage Smooth Woodsia & Endangered Species Woodsia glabella R. Br. ex Richards Program www.mass.gov/nhesp State Status: None Federal Status: None Massachusetts Division of Fisheries & Wildlife DESCRIPTION: Smooth Woodsia is a small, delicate fern in the family Woodsiaceae that grows in tufts from 2.5 to 16 cm (1-6 in.) in height. It is hairless or smooth all over. Its narrow fronds (leaves of a fern) are 8-14 mm (8/25-14/25 in.) wide, pale green, and linear to linear-lance shaped in overall outline. In addition, the fronds are only once-pinnate: they are dissected (cut all the way back to the rachis, or main axis of the frond) just once, into divisions called pinnae. These trilobed pinnae occur in 8 to 14 pairs and are stalkless. The green rachis is hairless. The stipe, or stalk, of the frond is green or yellowish, very slender, scaly only at its base, and marked by a characteristic dark, thickened ring, or joint, near its base. Smooth Woodsia has distinctive, round clusters of spore-bearing structures called sori on the back of its fronds. Beneath each of these sori is a minute indusium (an outgrowth of the frond that covers or Britton, H.L. 1970. An Illustrated Flora of the Northern US & Canada. Dover. Reprint of 1913 edition. contains the sorus) which ruptures to form several radiating, hair-like arms. Fruiting occurs from early THREATS: One reason for this species’ rarity in the June through late August. Commonwealth is the fact that Smooth Woodsia occurs only sporadically outside of arctic and subarctic areas.
