Since the time ot Maekenzie's work there have certainly been brought to light sane additional species and varieties. This genus of :plants, co:mmonly called sedges, is characterized by having an achene type of fruit, borne in e. sac-like structure called a perigynium, triangular stems, three-ranked leaves, and fibrous roots. Some species have underground stems, or rhizomes, called root-stocks. The roots and underground stem.a tom dense mats, or turf's, which are capable of holding the soil well and anchoring the plants to the soil most tenaciously. In sane localities the early ;unerican Indian took advantage or this matted growth by cutting bricks trom the clay beds which sup:ported dense stands ot Ca,rex. 1u'ter removing the herbage above ground they were sun• dried and used in the building of their adobe pueblos. This type of adobe brick, 'With the roots acting as a binder, held up viell as compared to those 'Without a natural binder. The writer has seen buildings in New Mexico constructed from these adobe bricks, and the beds nom.which these briekS were cut. Usually there remained enough rootstalks in the cut-out sections to generate another stand of care.a;. The importance of these grass-like plants is relatively unknoWA. Perhaps the reason :for this is that the'IJ commonly occur, closely matted l 2 in moist. marshy places. making collecting undesirable, and the identifi• cation of these plants is somewhat difficult since the mature t'ruit must be had for positive detennination. These factors may be in part the reasons (13) this large group of' plants has been somewhat negl.ected. Few ta:x:onondov.orks in tbis areo. have dealt very mu.ch with the Carices. Garrett {4) lists seven species in his 1•S:pring Flora of the Wasatch Region". Holmgren ( 6) lists twenty-six species in the "Handbook of the Vascular Plants of the Northern Wa.ootchn, and Tidestrom (12) lists sixty-seven in bis "Flora of Utah and Nevada". f!erman (5) reported one hundred a:Ild.thirteen species from a single county in eastern Pennsylv:ania. From this it would appear that much t\!Ork l"8lllains to be done 1n the Wasatch area or that the Ca.rices are not especially abundant here. This is a preliminarJ study of the various Carioes in a small area known as Utah Oounty, Utah, located in the central part of the state; con- taining approximately 2.143 square miles. Most of the area is muntainous with the exception of Utah Valley which occupies some 560 square miles. This valley has a.n average elevation of 4.550 feet above sea level and is some thirty-eight miles long and fifteen miles wide. The valley is bordered on the east by the Wasatch ra.11geof mountains which at several Points exceed 11,000 feet

    AN ILLUSTRATED KEY TO THE CYPERACEAE OF ALBERTA Compiled and writen by Linda Kershaw and Lorna Allen April 2019 © Linda J. Kershaw & Lorna Allen This key was compiled using information primarily from and the Flora North America Association (2008), Douglas et al. (1998), and Packer and Gould (2017). Taxonomy follows VASCAN (Brouillet, 2015). The main references are listed at the end of the key. Please try the key this summer and let us know if there are ways in which it can be improved. Over the winter, we hope to add illustrations for most of the entries. The 2015 S-ranks of rare species (S1; S1S2; S2; S2S3; SU, according to ACIMS, 2015) are noted in superscript ( S1; S2;SU) after the species names. For more details go to the ACIMS web site. Similarly, exotic species are followed by a superscript X, XX if noxious and XXX if prohibited noxious (X; XX; XXX) according to the Alberta Weed Control Act (2016).

  • Two Independent Dispersals to the Southern Hemisphere to Become the Most Widespread Bipolar Carex Species: Biogeography of C
    Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 2017, 183, 360–372. With 4 figures. Two independent dispersals to the Southern Hemisphere to become the most widespread bipolar Carex species: biogeography of C. canescens (Cyperaceae) TAMARA VILLAVERDE1*, MARCIAL ESCUDERO2, SANTIAGO MARTÍN-BRAVO1 and MODESTO LUCEÑO1 1Department of Molecular Biology and Biochemical Engineering, Pablo de Olavide University, 41013 Seville, Spain 2Department of Plant Biology and Ecology, University of Seville, 41012 Seville, Spain Received 14 April 2016; revised 15 July 2016; accepted for publication 13 November 2016 About 30 plant species occur at high latitudes in both hemispheres, thus achieving a so-called bipolar distribution. Six of these species belong to Carex, of which just one, Carex canescens, occurs on two different landmasses in the Southern Hemisphere (South America and Oceania). The goals of this study are (1) to test the various hypotheses accounting for the bipolar disjunction of C. canescens and (2) to elucidate if C. canescens migrated twice from the Northern Hemisphere to the Southern Hemisphere or if it dispersed from South America to Oceania (or vice versa). We obtained and analysed DNA sequences from the nuclear internal and external transcribed spacers (ITS and ETS) and from the plastid 5′ trnK and rps16 introns from 57 populations of C. canescens spanning its bipolar range. We characterized the species distri- bution climatically by adding 1995 presence data points from the Global Biodiversity Information Facility. Our results 2017 suggest a Northern Hemisphere origin of C. canescens during the Pleistocene and two independent long distance-dis- persal events to South America and Australia, by either direct dispersal or mountain-hopping.

  • Overview on Alien Carex Species of Section Cyperoideae (Including Ovales) in Europe and the Discovery of Carex Scoparia in Austria
    Ann. Naturhist. Mus. Wien, B 118 115–127 Wien, Jänner 2016 Overview on alien Carex species of section Cyperoideae (including Ovales) in Europe and the discovery of Carex scoparia in Austria B. Wallnöfer* & F. Essl** Abstract Based on an extensive survey of literature, a compilation of the alien Carex species of section Cyperoideae (including section Ovales) in Europe is presented. In total, nine species (C. bebbii, C. brevior, C. crawfordii, C. cristatella, C. muskingumensis, C. pachystachya, C. praticola, C. scoparia, and C. tribuloides) have been recorded as aliens so far. In addition the nomenclature of C. bebbii (OLNEY ex BAILEY) FERNALD is discussed. The invasion history and ecology of the North American Carex scoparia is presented in detail. It was first recorded in Europe in 1982 in Slovakia, and has recently been found in Belgium and the Netherlands. In Austria it was found by the second author for the first time in 2009 in Upper Austria. Since then, the population size has substantially increased and the species has become locally established in a disturbed wetland, dominated by species of wet tall herb and reed vegetation. To document the further spread of alien Carex species in Europe, their inclusion into standard floras is highly recommended. Key words: alien species, neophytes, Carex scoparia (broom sedge), C. bebbii, C. brevior, C. crawfordii, C. cristatella, C. muskingumensis, C. pachystachya, C. praticola, C. tribuloides, C. section Cyperoideae, C. section Ovales, Cyperaceae, Flora of Austria. Zusammenfassung Eine Zusammenstellung der fremdländischen Carex-Arten aus der Sektion Cyperoideae (inklusive Sektion Ovales) in Europa wird, basierend auf einer umfassenden Literaturauswertung, präsentiert.

Dedication This Occasional Paper is dedicated to the memory of Scott D. Sundberg, whose vision and perseverance in launching the Oregon Flora Project made our job immensely easier to complete. It is also dedicated to Martin W. Gorman, who compiled the first list of Portland's flora in 1916 and who inspired us to do it again 90 years later. Acknowledgments We wish to acknowledge all the botanists, past and present, who have collected in the Portland-Vancouver area and provided us the foundation for our study. We salute them and thank them for their efforts. We extend heartfelt thanks to the many people who helped make this project possible. Rhoda Love and the board of directors of the Native Plant Society of Oregon (NPSO) exhibited infinite patience over the 5-year life of this project. Rhoda Love (NPSO) secured the funds needed to print this Occasional Paper. Katy Weil (Metro) and Deborah Lev (City of Portland) obtained funding for a draft printing for their agencies in June 2009.
