Robbin Moran New York Botanical Garden George Yatskievych and Ann Larson Missouri Botanical Garden Jan De Laet, plantsystematics.org Th is pdf is a companion publication to Rhode Island Equisetopsida, Lycopodiopsida & Isoetopsida at among-ri-wildfl owers.org Th e Elfi n Press 2016 Introduction Formerly known as fern allies, Horsetails, Club-mosses, Fir-mosses, Spike-mosses and Quillworts are plants that have an alternate generation life-cycle similar to ferns, having both sporophyte and gametophyte stages. Equisetopsida Horsetails date from the Devonian period (416 to 359 million years ago) in earth’s history where they were trees up to 110 feet in height and helped to form the coal deposits of the Carboniferous period. Only one genus has survived to modern times (Equisetum). Horsetails Horsetails (Equisetum) have jointed stems with whorls of thin narrow leaves. In the sporophyte stage, they have a sterile and fertile form. Th ey produce only one type of spore. While the gametophytes produced from the spores appear to be plentiful, the successful reproduction of the sporophyte form is low with most Horsetails reproducing vegetatively. Lycopodiopsida Lycopodiopsida includes the clubmosses (Dendrolycopodium, Diphasiastrum, Lycopodiella, Lycopodium , Spinulum) and Fir-mosses (Huperzia) Clubmosses Clubmosses are evergreen plants that produce only microspores that develop into a gametophyte capable of producing both sperm and egg cells. Club-mosses can produce the spores either in leaf axils or at the top of their stems. Th e spore capsules form in a cone-like structures (strobili) at the top of the plants.

  • "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.

  • Hydrocotyle Sibthorpioides and H. Batrachium (Araliaceae) New for New York State
    Atha, D. 2017. Hydrocotyle sibthorpioides and H. batrachium (Araliaceae) new for New York State. Phytoneuron 2017-56: 1– 6. Published 21 August 2017. ISSN 2153 733X HYDROCOTYLE SIBTHORPIOIDES AND H. BATRACHIUM (ARALIACEAE) NEW FOR NEW YORK STATE DANIEL ATHA Center for Conservation Strategy New York Botanical Garden Bronx, New York 10458 [email protected] ABSTRACT Spontaneous populations of Hydrocotyle sibthorpioides (lawn marsh pennywort) and H. batrachium (Araliaceae) are documented for New York state for the first time. Hydrocotyle batrachium is also new to North America. Hydrocotyle sibthorpioides was first found in 2013 in Queens county; H. batrachium was first found in 2016 in Westchester county. Both species are native to eastern Asia and show potential to be aggressive invaders in southeastern New York, particularly in wetlands. A key to the species of Hydrocotyle in New York State is provided. Prior to this report four species of Hydrocotyle were known from New York state, all of them native and all but one state-listed rarities: H. umbellata – Rare; H. verticillata var. verticillata – Endangered; and H. ranunculoides – Endangered (Young 2010). Among the native New York species, only H. americana occurs in abundance in the state. It is the only species historically reported for New York City and has not been documented for New York City since 1901. The present report documents two additional species for the New York flora, both native to Asia and naturalized in southeastern New York. Fertile herbarium specimens and DNA samples were obtained for all cited specimens and are available for analysis. Hydrocotyle sibthorpioides Lam. Spontaneous populations of Hydrocotyle sibthorpioides in New York were first detected and identified in Queens County by Nick Wagerik in the summer of 2013.

  • A List of Grasses and Grasslike Plants of the Oak Openings, Lucas County
    A LIST OF THE GRASSES AND GRASSLIKE PLANTS OF THE OAK OPENINGS, LUCAS COUNTY, OHIO1 NATHAN WILLIAM EASTERLY Department of Biology, Bowling Green State University, Bowling Green, Ohio 4-3403 ABSTRACT This report is the second of a series of articles to be prepared as a second "Flora of the Oak Openings." The study represents a comprehensive survey of members of the Cyperaceae, Gramineae, Juncaceae, Sparganiaceae, and Xyridaceae in the Oak Openings region. Of the 202 species listed in this study, 34 species reported by Moseley in 1928 were not found during the present investigation. Fifty-seven species found by the present investi- gator were not observed or reported by Moseley. Many of these species or varieties are rare and do not represent a stable part of the flora. Changes in species present or in fre- quency of occurrence of species collected by both Moseley and Easterly may be explained mainly by the alteration of habitats as the Oak Openings region becomes increasingly urbanized or suburbanized. Some species have increased in frequency on the floodplain of Swan Creek, in wet ditches and on the banks of the Norfolk and Western Railroad right-of-way, along newly constructed roadsides, or on dry sandy sites. INTRODUCTION The grass family ranks third among the large plant families of the world. The family ranks number one as far as total numbers of plants that cover fields, mead- ows, or roadsides are concerned. No other family is used as extensively to pro- vide food or shelter or to create a beautiful landscape. The sedge family does not fare as well in terms of commercial importance, but the sedges do make avail- able forage and food for wild fowl and they do contribute plant cover in wet areas where other plants would not be as well adapted.

The lake has a surface area of approximately 63 acres and a shoreline length of 2.12 miles (MNDNR, 2020). While there is limited data on native plant community classifications along the shoreline of Sucker Lake, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MNDNR) classified the adjacent areas west of Sucker Lake into five categories (Figure 2), which may potentially have an influence on the plant communities of the lake shoreline. Those five categories are Northern Mixed Cattail Marsh (MRn83), Black Ash-Yellow Birch-Red Maple-Alder Swamp (WFn64b), Alder-Maple-Loosestrife Swamp (FPn73a), Tamarack Swamp (FPs63a), and Willow-Dogwood Shrub Swamp (WMn82a) (MNDNR, 2014). Within the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service’s National Wetland Inventory (Cowardin Classification System), the Sucker Lake shoreline is predominantly classified as PEMF and PUBF (Cowardin et.
