( s. str. ) belongs to the tribe Inuleae of the family Compositae including about 100 species, mainly distributed in Europe, Africa and Asia. The genus Inula was described by LINNAEUS with thirteen species (1753, 1754). The pro - tologue used by LINNAEUS was quite generalized as he did not give the weightage to the finer details of floral characters. Later on, this genus was treated by variuos workers from time to time (viz., CANDOLLE, 1836; BENTHAM & HOOKER, 1873; BOISSIER, 1875; CLARKE, 1876; HOOKER, 1881; BECK, 1882; HOFFMANN, 1890; GORSCHKOVA, 1959; KITAMURA, 1960; GRIERSON, 1975; BALL & TUTIN, 1976; RECHINGER, 1980; ANDERBERG, 1991; KUMAR, 1995).

  • Biodiversity and Pest Management APRIL 2019
    biodiversity and pest management APRIL 2019 EIP-AGRI Focus Group ‘Pests and diseases of the olive tree’ Biodiversity and pest management AUTHORS: MARÍA TERESA MARTÍNEZ FERRER, TÂNIA NOBRE, VASILEIOS GKISAKIS, FRANÇOIS WARLOP, JUAN OLIVARES, SUSANA PASCUAL 1 biodiversity and pest management APRIL 2019 1. Introduction Maintaining biodiversity and the associated ecosystem services is an objective of the European Union, implemented through agri-environmental programmes. Biodiversity decline is occurring at a worldwide scale and has twofold implications. From a conservation point of view, the number of extinct and endangered species increases, and this impoverishment of natural ecosystems reduces their resilience. From an agronomical point of view, reduction of biodiversity affects processes that hamper crop productivity, such as pollination or pest management, being the consequence of this biodiversity decline a reduction in agroecosystem sustainability. But both, ecosystem resilience and agro ecosystem sustainability are not isolated. In the case of pest control, in many cases it is assumed that it depends on biodiversity. However, a positive relationship between biodiversity of natural enemies and pest suppression is not always the case. In fact, in some cases this relationship does not occur (Fig.1), and the success of biological control depends not on biodiversity, but on the presence of one or only few species of natural enemies. As an example, in the case of olive trees, a single species such as Anthocoris nemoralis or relatively simple predator assemblages are associated with better biological control than complex assemblages (Paredes et al., 2015). However, it seems that the general rule in different agroecosystems is that biodiversity rather than abundance of natural enemies is linked to pest control, although this has been proven mainly in annual crops and in non- mediterranean environmental conditions (Dainese et al., 2019).

  • Relative Ranking of Ornamental Flower Plants to Foraging Honey Bees (With Notes on Favorability to Bumble Bees)
    Relative Ranking of Ornamental Flower Plants to Foraging Honey Bees (With Notes on Favorability to Bumble Bees) Whitney Cranshaw Colorado State University Observations were made during the 2007-2009 growing seasons on the relative attractiveness of various flowering ornamental plants to honey bees (Apis mellifera). This information was collected so that honey bee favorability - or lack of favorability - may be considered in plant selection. The study was conducted by repeated visits to public garden plantings in Larimer, Denver, Adams, and Cheyenne counties. Gardens were chosen that had large mass plantings of numerous flowering plants so that comparisons could be made and included the Denver Botanic Garden, gardens at Colorado State University (PERC, Flower Demonstration Planting), Welby Gardens, and Cheyenne Botanic Garden. These sites also were chosen because plantings had identification labeling. Plantings were visited between 2 and 12 times between mid-June and mid-September. Evaluations were made by examining plants that were in flower for the presence of honey bees. A planting was then given a relative ranking based on honey bee numbers. A 0-3 scale was used: 3 - Heavily visited by foraging honey bees 2 - Moderately visited by honey bees and foraged 1 - Honey bees seen occasionally visiting flowers 0 - Honey bees do not forage at these flowers Data were collected from a total of 319 different plant entries durig this study. Variation in rankings between dates did occur; where this occurred from multiple ratings the final ranking was rounded up to a whole number. Numerous other bees and other insects were commonly seen on many plants.

ISSN 2153 733X TYPE SPECIMENS OF INULA (PITYOPSIS) GRAMINIFOLIA (ASTERACEAE: ASTEREAE) JOHN C. SEMPLE Department of Biology, University of Waterloo Waterloo, Ontario Canada N2L 3G1 [email protected] and FLORIAN JABBOUR Institut de Systématique, Évolution, Biodiversité (ISYEB) Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle, CNRS, Sorbonne Université, EPHE, Université des Antilles, 57 rue Cuvier, CP39, 75005 Paris, France ABSTRACT Recent proposed changes to the nomenclature of the goldenaster genus Pityopsis disagreed significantly on the application of the name Inula graminifolia, the basionym of Pityopsis graminifolia. In order to clarify the problem, the three known collections of Inula graminifolia in the Herbarium of the Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle, Paris (P) collected by André Michaux were examined. The holotype collection has small heads with many stipitate glands on the distal portion of the phyllaries and obvious long hairs on the peduncles. This is also the case for the isotype collection. A third collection by Michaux is mixed with a shoot with larger heads and shoots with smaller heads and all with phyllaries with few or no stipitate glands. Thus, the third specimen is not part of the same taxon as the holotype and isotype. The Pityopsis graminifolia (Michx.) Nutt. complex includes goldenasters native to the southeastern USA, southern Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, western Honduras, and the Bahamas. The complex includes either a single species with multiple varieties (Semple & Bowers 1985; Semple 2006) or the complex might be divided into multiple species with more narrowly defined morphological and ecological limits.

(2014): Two thermophilic alien species new to the flora of Slovakia. – Thaiszia – J. Bot. 24 (2): 125-134. – ISSN 1210-0420. Abstract: Dittrichia graveolens (L.) GREUTER and Euphorbia prostrata AITON were reported for the first time from the territory of Slovakia. The first one was recorded near Kúty (W Slovakia) at the highway D2; its occurrence was already expected in view of its well- documented expansion along the roads of Austria and the Czech Republic. The second species grows in a city pavement in Banská Bystrica (Central Slovakia); as a notable very isolated population existing probably due to the urban heat island effect. Keywords: alien species, invasion, highways, urban heat effect Introduction Annual weeds of human-made habitats play an important role in the rapidly changing inventory of alien plants (e.g. MEDVECKÁ et al. 2012; PYŠEK et al 2012); many of them have become paradigm for long-distance spreading.

Box 100134 Staten Island, New York 10310 [email protected] HEATHER LILJENGREN Greenbelt Native Plant Center NYC Parks Staten Island, New York 10314 [email protected] ABSTRACT Dittrichia graveolens (Asteraceae) is known from five populations widely scattered on Staten Island, Richmond Co, New York, indicating that the species is naturalized and well-established in New York City and New York state. Dittrichia graveolens (L.) Greuter (stinkwort) was first collected in New York State in 1949 by Harold Moldenke and Joe Monachino in Bronx County ( Moldenke 20555 and Monachino 529 ). Monachino collected the species again in Brooklyn, Kings Co., in October 1959 ( Monachino 632 ). The species was not collected or documented again in New York state until the present work and was thought to be historical (Weldy et al. 2019; Atha & Boom 2018; USDA NRCS 2018; Werier 2017). Stinkwort is currently known from five populations on Staten Island, Richmond Co, New York (Figure 1): the one documented here with an herbarium specimen and four others documented by iNaturalist observations made in 2017 and 2018 (Lemon Creek Park, Heather Liljengren, iNaturalist observ.
