Explanation of plates 101 Magnus 83 Plates 1-VIII Introduction Apparently the first record of the rust fungi which parasitize grasses from the southern part of the main island of Kyusyu, was made by Naohide Hiratsuka (17) in 1936. In his paper, entitled, "Uredinales collected in Kiushu. III." (1936), there have been record­ ed two species of Uro1nyces (Uromyces halstedii De Toni and U. linearis Berk. et Br.) and three of Puccinia (Puccinia cacao Mc Alpine, P. graminis Pers. and P. lolii Niessl = P. coronata Corda) from Kagosima Prefecture, the southern Kyusyu. In 1952, Naohide Hiratsuka (21) recorded one species of Stereostrat~tm, five of Uro­ myces, 12' of Puccinia and one of Uredo parasitic on grasses from Miyazaki and Kagosima Prefectures. The first account of species of rust fungi which parasitize grasses from the Ryukyu Islands, including the Satunan IsIs. (Tanegasima lsI. and Yakusima lsI.) and the Amami IsIs., ~as that of Puccinia levig~ta (Syd. et Butt) Hiratsuka, f. by Seiya Ito (31), in 1909. He recorded Puccinia levigata (Syd. et Butl.) Hirats.uka., f. on leaves of Oplismenus compositus Beauv. based upon specimens which were collected by Naoharu Hiratsuka at Syuri (Naha-si) in Okinawa Island, as Diorchidium levigatum Syd. et But!. Rust Fungi on Gl'asses Collected in Southern Kyusyfi & Ryukyu IsIs. 25 Up to 1941 since that time, there have been recorded by Naohide Hilllatsuka (18~20) one species of Puccinia in 1938, one of Angiopsora, three of Uromyces and 14 of Puccinia in 1940, and five of Puccinia and two of Uredo in 1941 from the Ryukyus. Since 1953, Naohide Hira­ tsuka and his collaborators (24~30) have studied actively on the rust­ flora of the Ryukyu Islands, and there have been recorded one species of Ph.akopsora, one of Dasturella, four of Urom.yces and 28 of Puccinia, which parasitize grasses from the Ryukyu Islands, in 1955 to 1957. In this article, now, are enumerated the species of rust fungi parasitic on the grasses collected in the southern Kyfisyfi (Miyazaki and Kagosima Prefectures) and the Ryukyu Islands, including the Satunan IsIs., the Tokara IsIs. and the Amami IsIs., and their taxo­ nomic account and geographical distribution are presented. The materials used by the writer in the present work include besides a number of collectibns made by Naoharu and Naohide Hira­ tsuka, Shun-ichi Shimabukuro, Yoshihisa Taira, Shoji Sato, Yasuji Morimoto, Nobuhide Hirai, Shoichi Hirata, Shigetaka Katsuki, Yasu­ yuki Hiratsuka and others, deposited in the Hiratsuka Herbarium, the specimens collected by the writer herself in Kagosima Prefecture in October 1956, and in Okinawa Island, the Ryukyu Islands in January 1957. The total number of specimens examined amounts to more than eight hundred, amongst which are included 55 species. The following table shows the number of species, by genera, hitherto known from the southern Kyfisyfi and the Ryukyu Islands, and the total. Table 1.

HIRATSUKA and the Ryukyu Islands are 55 species in total. Among all the genera, the largest is the Puccinia having 45 species, next comes the Uromyces. It is a pleasure for the writer to express her appreciation to Prof. Hirosi Ito and Prof. Naohide Hiratsuka, under whose direction the present work was executed, for their useful suggestions and criticism. The writer also wishes to express her sincere thanks to Prof. Shun-ichi Shimabukuro (University of the Ryukyus) and Mr. Shoji Sato (Faculty of Agriculture, Tokyo University of Education), who made many valuable suggestions. She is also indebted to Dr. Jisaburo Ohwi of the National Science Museum (Tokyo) for identification of host plants of the fungi, and to Miss Eiko Sakai for her faithful assistance on the present investigations. The present work has been partially supported by a Grant in Aid for Developmental Research of the Department of Education (1955­ 56. no. 21016), to the directors of which the writer wishes to take this opportunity of extending her sincere thanks. The specimens studied are all kept in the Hiratsuka Herbarium, Tokyo, Japan. Rust Fungi on Grasses Collected in Southern Kyusyu & Ryukyu IsIs. 27 Enumeration of species Phakopsora Dietel 1.

    Ray G. Woods, R. Nigel Stringer, Debbie A. Evans and Arthur O. Chater Summary The rust fungi are a group of specialised plant pathogens. Conserving them seems to fly in the face of reason. Yet as our population grows and food supplies become more precarious, controlling pathogens of crop plants becomes more imperative. Breeding resistance genes into such plants has proved to be the most cost effective solution. Such resistance genes evolve only in plants challenged by pathogens. We hope this report will assist in prioritising the conservation of natural ecosystems and traditional agro-ecosystems that are likely to be the richest sources of resistance genes. Despite its small size (11% of mainland Britain) Wales has supported 225 rust fungi taxa (including 199 species) representing 78% of the total British mainland rust species. For the first time using widely accepted international criteria and data collected from a number of mycologists and institutions, a Welsh regional threat status is offered for all native Welsh rust taxa. The results are compared with other published Red Lists for Wales. Information is also supplied in the form of a census catalogue, detailing the rust taxa recorded from each of the 13 Welsh vice-counties. Of the 225 rust taxa so far recorded from Wales 7 are probably extinct (3% of the total), and 39 (18%) are threatened with extinction. Of this latter total 13 taxa (6%) are considered to be Critically Endangered, 15 (7%) to be Endangered and 13 (6%) to be Vulnerable. A further 20 taxa (9%) are Near Threatened, whilst 15 taxa (7%) lacked sufficient data to permit evaluation.

  • Welford Road Cemetery Bioblitz 2016
    WELFORD ROAD CEMETERY BIOBLITZ 2016 Acknowledgements The organisers would like to thank all partners involved in the event; particularly members of the public, surveyors and volunteers who gave their time to take part and without whom the Welford Road Cemetery Leicester BioBlitz 2016 would not have been possible. A total of 316 species were found during the Leicester Bioblitz at Welford Road Cemetery 120 children took part What Is A A BioBlitz is an event varying in length but can last up to one whole day (24-hours) during which intense biological surveys are conducted within a designated area. It aims to record all living species present, from animals and plants, to fungi and algae. A BioBlitz strives to cover as many taxa as possible, with specialist scientists and naturalists from a range of disciplines pooling their identification abilities and knowledge to produce a species record. The term was coined in 1996 by Susan Rudy, a US National Park Service naturalist who helped with the first ever event at Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens, Washington DC. Since then, BioBlitzes have taken place all across the world. BioBlitz events which are held annually/seasonally or in a particular location can help build up a better picture of how the site changes and supports biodiversity over time. Alongside the scientific data gathered, an important component of any BioBlitz is the involvement of the public and encouragement of citizen science. Events like this, which allow local people to engage with the biodiversity in their area, provide people with an excellent opportunity to venture into the world of science and conservation and to better understand the nature world around them.

For the purposes of wildlife recording the area was split into four separate sites: the so-called Northern Spur, that is the area more or less comprising the original Ham Hill Country Park, and the areas added to the country park from 1996 onwards, namely Plateau Fields, Witcombe Valley (including Horse’s Wood) and Pit Wood. Lists have been prepared of: Mammals Reptiles & Amphibians Birds Invertebrates Flowering plants Ferns Fungi Lichens - based on a survey by V. J. Giavarini To be added: Mosses & Liverworts Members are asked to record any species seen within the Park and send that list to the Recording Group so that a continuing up-date of the records can be made. Records will be passed to the SSDC and the Somerset Environmental Records Centre to ensure the best possible use is made of them.

During this time the writer has collected in every county in the state, excepting Daggett. The nomenclature used for the rusts has been that of Arthur’s “Manual of the Rusts in the United States and Canada” (1934). The names as given in this manual vary in many instances from those given in the rust volume of the North American Flora. Since, however, the student of the rusts will find the manual a compact little book, as authoritative as the N. A. Flora, while the latter was published in parts, some of which are now out of print, the writer thought that the manual would be the work most likely followed. The stages of each rust are indicated by the Roman numerals fol­ lowing the name—agcial stage I, uredial stage II, and telial stage III.
