  • Bee-Friendly Flowers: Aster
    Bee-Friendly Flowers: Aster Like fireworks to celebrate the coming of fall, the vibrant pinks, purples, and whites of the star flowers burst into bloom just as summer flowers fade. They are ubiquitous, lighting up meadows, woodlands, river bottoms, salt marshes, sand dunes, roadsides, and waste places. There are many native species of asters in North America, but it’s hard to put a precise number on them. The problem is that asters used to be classified with their own genus, but recent strides in DNA analysis have made scientists rethink where to put them. Plants that used to be lumped into the genus Aster are now split into Symphiotrichum, Eurybia, Solidago, and Machaeranthera just to name a few. Not all taxonomists are onboard with the change, so many botanical New England aster sources list more than one name for the same plant. Despite the confusion about what to call them, the variety of asters is enormous. Hybridization between species frequently occurs in the wild and there are a plethora of human-created hybrids and cultivars. Some have clouds of tiny flowers and some have blossoms as large as daisies. What they all have in common is that each aster flower is a composite of numerous disc and ray florets, which collectively give the appearance of a single large flower. The center holds the disc florets, which are tubular, house the nectar, and are usually yellow, orange, or brownish in color. Those near the bullseye location have both stamens and pistils and can provide pollen to visiting insects. The outer discs are all females and only have pistils to receive pollen.

  • White Wood Aster
    Northeast Temperate Network National Park Service Inventory & Monitoring Program U.S. Department of the Interior ecies White Wood Aster SPotlight Eurybia divaricata August 2016 Spring is no doubt the showiest time of year for woodland wildflowers, especially contrasted with the recently departed monochrome blanket of snow. Bloodroot, trout lilies, trillium and many other colorful beauties steal the show. As summer progresses cohosh, jack-in-the-pulpit, and ferns take center stage. It is not until late summer, when most other wildflowers have dropped their petals and are preparing for a long winter under snow and ice, that the wood asters finally get to have their chance.

    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School Department of Horticulture NORTHEASTERN U.S. NATIVE AND NATURALIZED PLANT PERFORMANCE IN SHADED MICROCLIMATES ON GREEN ROOFS A Thesis in Horticulture by Peter Vanco 2015 Peter Vanco Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master’s of Science August 2015 The thesis of Peter Vanco was reviewed and approved* by the following: Robert D. Berghage Associate Professor of Horticulture Thesis Advisor Eric P. Burkhart Faculty Instructor, Ecosystem Science and Management Department and Plant Science Program Director, Shaver's Creek Environmental Center Elsa S. Sánchez Associate Professor of Horticultural Systems Management Rich P. Marini Professor of Horticulture Head of the Department of Horticulture *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School ii ABSTRACT Being comprised of thin, porous, heat-retentive media, and being exposed to wind and sun, green roofs are typically hot and droughty. As such, green roofs are taxing environments for the plants which inhabit them. There exist, however, various microclimates on many roofs which may provide growing conditions different from those on a typical section of green roof. One category of such microclimates is shaded areas. The goal of this thesis was to explore the possibilities available in these areas to non- traditional green roof plant species. Fifteen species of plants, twelve of which are native to the Northeastern United States, were chosen to be grown in both shaded an non-shaded conditions on a green roof with two sections, one being nominally four inches, and one being nominally six inches thick. Four replicates were included in the resultant four treatment groups, with each plant being allotted a 75cm x 75cm area in which to grow for one year.

  • Excluded Plants
    Delaware Dept. of Natural Resources and Environmental Control Division of Fish and Wildlife Delaware Species Conservation and Research Program Excluded Plants March 2018 The following vascular plants have been reported for Delaware in the literature, but are excluded from the flora of the state. Many of these reports are based on misidentifications, misapplication of names, or specimens could not be found to verify their existence in Delaware. This list will likely change in the future – species may be added or removed after reports have been verified with a correctly identified specimen. Scientific Name Reason for exclusion Agalinis fasciculata Specimen misidentified = Agalinis purpurea Alisma triviale Reported in the literature, no specimens seen Amaranthus cruentus Incorrectly attributed to Delaware in the literature Amelanchier laevis Specimens misidentified = Amelanchier canadensis Ampelopsis arborea Incorrectly attributed to Delaware in the literature Anemone acutiloba (syn. = Hepatica acutiloba) Originally planted to a natural area, but now no longer extant Arabis shortii Reported in the literature, no specimens seen Betula alleghaniensis Specimens misidentified = Betula nigra Bidens aristosa Specimen misidentified = Bidens polylepis Carex aestivaliformis Specimens misidentified = hybrid, with putative parents being C. gracillima and C. virescens Carex albursina Specimens misidentified = Carex laxiflora Carex digitalis var. macropoda Specimen misidentified = Carex digitalis var. digitalis Carex echinata Specimens misidentified

The Province ensures the preparation of recovery strategies to meet its commitments to recover species at risk under the Endangered Species Act 2007 (ESA) and the Accord for the Protection of Species at Risk in Canada.

  • Checklist of the Washington Baltimore Area
    Annotated Checklist of the Vascular Plants of the Washington - Baltimore Area Part I Ferns, Fern Allies, Gymnosperms, and Dicotyledons by Stanwyn G. Shetler and Sylvia Stone Orli Department of Botany National Museum of Natural History 2000 Department of Botany, National Museum of Natural History Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC 20560-0166 ii iii PREFACE The better part of a century has elapsed since A. S. Hitchcock and Paul C. Standley published their succinct manual in 1919 for the identification of the vascular flora in the Washington, DC, area. A comparable new manual has long been needed. As with their work, such a manual should be produced through a collaborative effort of the region’s botanists and other experts. The Annotated Checklist is offered as a first step, in the hope that it will spark and facilitate that effort. In preparing this checklist, Shetler has been responsible for the taxonomy and nomenclature and Orli for the database. We have chosen to distribute the first part in preliminary form, so that it can be used, criticized, and revised while it is current and the second part (Monocotyledons) is still in progress. Additions, corrections, and comments are welcome. We hope that our checklist will stimulate a new wave of fieldwork to check on the current status of the local flora relative to what is reported here. When Part II is finished, the two parts will be combined into a single publication. We also maintain a Web site for the Flora of the Washington-Baltimore Area, and the database can be searched there (http://www.nmnh.si.edu/botany/projects/dcflora).
