    ARTICLE X. LANDSCAPING Sec 8-447. Purpose. The City of Del Rio experiences frequent droughts and is in a semi-arid climatic zone; therefore, it is the purpose of this article to: (1) Encourage the use of drought resistant plants and landscaping techniques that do not consume large quantities of water. Plants native to Southern Texas/Coahuila Desert are recommended. (2) Establish requirements for the installation and maintenance of landscaping on developed commercial properties in order to improve, protect, and preserve the appearance, character and value of such properties and their surrounding neighborhoods and thereby promote the public health, safety and general welfare of the citizens of Del Rio. More specifically, it is the purpose of this article to: (a) Aid in stabilizing the environment's ecological balance by contributing to the process of air purification, oxygen regeneration, storm water runoff retardation and groundwater recharge; (b) Reduce soil erosion by slowing storm water runoff; (c) Aid in the abatement of noise, glare and heat; (d) Aid in energy conservation; (e) Provide visual buffering and provide contrast and relief from the built-up environment; and (f) Protect and enhance property value and public and private investment and enhance the beautification of the city. (3) Contribute to and enhance the economic welfare of the city and the quality of life of citizens and visitors through the following: a. Promote the image of the southwestern border environment; and b. Create an attractive appearance along city streets

Anderson2 Open-File Report 01- 022 2001 This report is preliminary and has not been reviewed for conformity with U.S. Geological Survey editorial standards or with the North American Stratigraphic Code. Any use of trade, firm, or product names is for descriptive purposes only and does not imply endorsement by the U.S. Government. U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY 1 Denver, Colorado 2 Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research, University of Colorado, Boulder, Colorado INTRODUCTION Packrats, also known as wood rats or trade rats, are herbivorous Sigmodontine rodents belonging to the genus Neotoma (Vaughan, 1990). Twenty-one North American species of packrat are widely distributed from the Northwest Territories of Canada (65˚23' N) to tropical Nicaragua (13˚ N) (Vaughan, 1990). Arid and semi-arid lands of the southwestern United States presently support six different packrat species, which have probably persisted in the region, at least intermittently throughout the past 40,000 years (Vaughan, 1990). Vaughan (1990) summarizes the ecology of modern packrats in North America and the southwestern U.S. All modern packrats demonstrate a habit, unique among rodents, of collecting various items from their surrounding environment. These animals gather a variety of materials including plant debris, rocks, bones, insect parts, and human artifacts, generally from within a limited foraging range (30-50 m) of their dens. Not every packrat species has the same dietary preferences or collecting habits, and some species sample their environments better than others by collecting a greater variety of plant materials from the surrounding landscape.

  • Perennials in the Landscape
    Perennials in the Landscape Home gardeners and commercial landscapers alike are becoming more aware of the rich potential hardy herbaceous perennials have to offer. Perennials just may be the most overlooked group of landscaping plants in our area, and for no good reason. They offer a certain permanency to the landscape, and are virtually unequaled in providing abundant color and interest in return for the care they require. Botanically, perennials are plants which live for more than two years. This, of course, would include trees, turf grasses and shrubs. Horticulturally, though, the term perennial refers to a group of herbaceous (nonwoody) plants most frequently grown for their colorful flowers. Plants possessing bulbs and bulblike structures (corms, tubers, etc.) technically belong to this group, and are often included with them. More frequently they are separated off into their own category, though the dividing line is often blurred. Perennials have probably been under utilized in the South because of a general assumption that they don't do well here. Many perennials, however, thrive under our growing conditions. Just make sure you exercise care in choosing varieties suitably adapted to your situation. Most perennials are completely winter-hardy in the Southeast, although there are a number of tender perennials grown in the Gulf Coastal areas which would not be suitable in areas with colder winters. Conversely, some perennials like peonies do better where winters are colder. Overall, the major limiting factors for tolerance and susceptibility to diseases favored by heat and humidity. When selecting perennials, you should tend toward those with a reputation for heat tolerance.

  • Taxonomic Overview of the Mexican Species of Salvia Sect. Flocculosae (Lamiaceae)
    Turner, B.L. 2013. Taxonomic overview of the Mexican species of Salvia sect. Flocculosae (Lamiaceae). Phytoneuron 36: 1– 11. Published 27 May 2013. ISSN 2153 733X TAXONOMIC OVERVIEW OF THE MEXICAN SPECIES OF SALVIA SECT. FLOCCULOSAE (LAMIACEAE) BILLIE L. TURNER Plant Resources Center The University of Texas Austin, Texas 78712 ABSTRACT Epling (1939) delimited Salvia sect. Flocculosae as largely a Mexican taxon composed of 19 species, 10 confined to Mexico and closely adjacent USA. Two additional taxa, Salvia venturana B.L. Turner, sp. nov. , from Puebla, and S. jessicae B.L. Turner, sp. nov. , from Coahuila, are added to the complex in the present account, the latter a well-marked gypsophile. Salvia chamaedryoides var. isochroma is treated here at specific rank as Salvia isochroma (Fern.) B.L. Turner, comb. et stat. nov. Photographs of the newly ordained types are provided, along with maps showing the distribution of the Mexican species of the complex. KEY WORDS : Lamiaceae, Salvia sect. Flocculosae , gypsophily, Mexico In Epling’s account (1939), Salvia sect. Flocculosae (Epling) Epling accommodated 18 taxa, 10 from Mexico, 2 from the Dominican Republic, and 5 from South America (including the type species of the section), all having the attributes in the description below. Most noteworthy are those taxa possessing floccose (tufted or branched) hairs, which gives the section its name. The present paper considers only the Mexican species and adds 3 species, two newly described and one raised from varietal rank. Perennial, suffruticose herbs or shrublets, 20–80 cm high. Stems pubescent with branched hairs or not. Leaf blades ovate to deltoid-elliptic, 6–30 mm long, 4–10 mm wide.
