Tenangle Pipewort (Eriocaulon Decangulare) Tenangle pipewort (Eriocaulon decangulare) For definitions of botanical terms, visit en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_botanical_terms. Tenangle pipewort (also known as Hat pins and Bog button) is a wildflower easily recognized by its many white buttonlike flowers. It occurs naturally in bogs, wet prairies, freshwater marshes, wet pine flatwoods and cypress swamp edges and typically blooms late spring through fall. Tenangle pipewort flowers are solitary, terminal and borne on sturdy ribbed (or angled) scapes that are covered in tiny soft hairs. A single plant may produce a dozen or more flowering scapes at a time. Each flowerhead is 1/2–3/4” in diameter and hard to the touch. It is Photo by Mary Keim composed of numerous miniscule white to grayish-white flowers arranged in a compact ball. Black anthers are visible in mature flowerheads. Leaves are linear, erect and occur in tuft-like basal clusters. The stout roots, which are often submerged in water and decomposing organisms, contain air pockets that take in carbon dioxide and aid in photosynthesis. The genus Eriocaulon comes from the Greek erion (ἔριον), meaning “woolly,” and kaulós (καυλός), meaning “stem” or “stalk.” The species epithet decangulare (and the common name descriptor “tenangle”) refers to the ribbing or angles on the scapes, which often number 10.

  • "National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary."
    Intro 1996 National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands The Fish and Wildlife Service has prepared a National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary (1996 National List). The 1996 National List is a draft revision of the National List of Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1988 National Summary (Reed 1988) (1988 National List). The 1996 National List is provided to encourage additional public review and comments on the draft regional wetland indicator assignments. The 1996 National List reflects a significant amount of new information that has become available since 1988 on the wetland affinity of vascular plants. This new information has resulted from the extensive use of the 1988 National List in the field by individuals involved in wetland and other resource inventories, wetland identification and delineation, and wetland research. Interim Regional Interagency Review Panel (Regional Panel) changes in indicator status as well as additions and deletions to the 1988 National List were documented in Regional supplements. The National List was originally developed as an appendix to the Classification of Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the United States (Cowardin et al.1979) to aid in the consistent application of this classification system for wetlands in the field.. The 1996 National List also was developed to aid in determining the presence of hydrophytic vegetation in the Clean Water Act Section 404 wetland regulatory program and in the implementation of the swampbuster provisions of the Food Security Act. While not required by law or regulation, the Fish and Wildlife Service is making the 1996 National List available for review and comment.

  • VESSELS in ERIOCAULACEAE By
    IAWA Journ al, Vol. 17 (2), 1996: 183-204 VESSELS IN ERIOCAULACEAE by Jennifer A. Thorsch & Vernon I. Cheadle I Department of Ecology, Evolution and Marine Biology, University of California, Santa Barbara, CA 93 106, U.S.A. SUMMARY The occ urrence and level of specialization of vesse ls in 70 species representing 12 genera of Eriocaulaceae are presented. In alI species of Eriocaulaceae and in alI parts of the plant examined, vessels with simple perforations have been identified . Correlations between level of specia­ lization of vessel members and ecological conditi ons are reported for species from diverse habitats and species with distinct differences in habit. The pattern of origin and specialization of tracheary celIs in Erio­ caulaceae was compared to tracheary data for Xyridaceae , Rapateaceae, Restionaceae and Centrolepidaceae. The evolutionary position of these families has been regarded as close to Eriocaulaceae. Key words: Eriocaulaceae, vessels, perforation plates, phylogenetic posi­ tion. INTRODUCTION This paper provides detailed information about perforation plates of vessels in Erio­ caulaceae, the 29th family we have similarly examined in monocotyledons. The near­ ly complete list of families analyzed in detail is given in the literature cited in the paper on Commelinales (Cheadle & Kosakai 1980). Our studies on the tracheary elements in monocotyledons have included families and species from a broad range of habits, habitats and geographical sites around the world. Families for study were selected based on three criteria: I) presence of alI plant parts, 2) variety of habits and habitats, and 3) broad representation of the species within the family. The data on tracheids and vessels from these broadly based studies led to the folIowing brief conclusions.

Abstract The Tulula Wetlands Mitigation Bank, the first wetlands mitigation bank in the Blue Ridge Province of North Carolina, was created to compensate for losses resulting from highway projects in western North Carolina. The overall objective for the Tulula Wetlands Mitigation Bank has been to restore the functional and structural characteristics of the wetlands. Specific ecological restoration objectives of this Phase I study included: 1) reestablishing site hydrology by realigning the stream channel and filling drainage ditches; 2) recontouring the floodplain by removing spoil that resulted from creation of the golf ponds and dredging of the creek; 3) improving breeding habitat for amphibians by constructing vernal ponds; and 4) reestablishing floodplain and fen plant communities.

Giulietti,1,7,8 Maria José G. Andrade,1,4 Vera L. Scatena,2 Marcelo Trovó,6 Alessandra I. Coan,2 Paulo T. Sano,3 Francisco A.R. Santos,1 Ricardo L.B. Borges,1,5 & Cássio van den Berg1 Abstract The pantropical family Eriocaulaceae includes ten genera and c. 1,400 species, with diversity concentrated in the New World. The last complete revision of the family was published more than 100 years ago, and until recently the generic and infrageneric relationships were poorly resolved. However, a multi-disciplinary approach over the last 30 years, using morphological and anatomical characters, has been supplemented with additional data from palynology, chemistry, embryology, population genetics, cytology and, more recently, molecular phylogenetic studies. This led to a reassessment of phylogenetic relationships within the family. In this paper we present new data for the ITS and trnL-F regions, analysed separately and in combination, using maximum parsimony and Bayesian inference. The data confirm previous results, and show that many characters traditionally used for differentiating and circumscribing the genera within the family are homoplasious. A new generic key with characters from various sources and reflecting the current taxonomic changes is presented. Key words: anatomy, ITS, phylogenetics, pollen, trnL-trnF. Resumo Eriocaulaceae é uma família pantropical com dez gêneros e cerca de 1.400 espécies, com centro de diversidade no Novo Mundo, especialmente no Brasil.

  • Pollination in Brazilian Syngonanthus (Eriocaulaceae) Species: Evidence for Entomophily Instead of Anemophily
    Annals of Botany 96: 387–397, 2005 doi:10.1093/aob/mci191, available online at www.aob.oupjournals.org Pollination in Brazilian Syngonanthus (Eriocaulaceae) Species: Evidence for Entomophily Instead of Anemophily CARLIANNE O. C. RAMOS*, EDUARDO L. BORBA* and LI´GIA S. FUNCH Departamento de Cieˆncias Biolo´gicas, Laborato´rio de Taxonomia Vegetal, Universidade Estadual de Feira de Santana, Rodovia BR 116, km 03, Feira de Santana, BA, 44031-460, Brazil Received: 17 February 2005 Returned for revision: 1 April 2005 Accepted: 7 May 2005 Published electronically: 20 June 2005 Background and Aims The reproductive biology of Syngonanthus mucugensis and S. curralensis (Eriocaulaceae) was studied in areas of ‘campo rupestre’ vegetation in the Chapada Diamantina, north-eastern Brazil. These species are herbaceous and the individuals have a grouped distribution. Their leaves are united in a rosette, and their inflorescence is monoecious, of the capitulum type. The staminate and pistillate rings mature in a centripetal manner on the capitulum. Methods A field study was conducted, including observations concerning the morphology and biology of the flowers, fruit development, insect visits and anemophily, in both S. mucugensis and S. curralensis. Experimental pollinations were also carried out to study the mating systems of S. mucugensis. Key Results Both species flower from June to August. The staminate cycle lasts approx. 7 d, and the pistillate cycle from 3 to 4 d, with no temporal overlap between them on the same capitulum. The pollen viability of S. mucugensis was 88Á6 %, and 92Á5 % for S. curralensis. The inflorescences of both species demonstrated ultraviolet absorbance, and a sweet odour was detected during both the staminate and pistillate phases.

As a wetlands species, Salt Pipewort favours the tails of active springs, where the discharged water has partly evaporated and soils, though permanently wet, are becoming saline. observations suggest that Salt Pipewort cannot compete with taller wetland species (eg Phragmites), which occur nearer the discharge point in less saline wetland environments. Grazed habitat P. Lang Salt Pipewort will increase where light grazing pressure from herbivores (eg kangaroos and cattle) keeps the area free of these larger wetland plants.
