Sweet Autumn Virgin's Bower August 2013 Plant of the Month Sweet autumn virgin’s bower Clematis terniflora DC. August Plant of the Month is a vine that has become a common sight throughout most of the State in the last 25 years of the 20th century. Sweet autumn virgin’s bower is a woody vine that persists on roadsides, disturbed sites, wetland edges and anywhere moist soils and ample sun makes their presence possible. This clematis was transported here for ornamental use and its escape is another plant lesson taught over and over after each new introduction. Alfred Rehder’s Manual of Cultivated Trees and Shrubs Hardy in North America (1927, reprinted 1986) reported Clematis paniculata v. dioscoreaefolia was introduced into cultivation from Korea in 1911. Clematis terniflora out competes normally aggressive native vine species such as Mikania scandens and Clematis virginiana. The plant produces sweet smelling flowers in great abundance, making quite a show when in the right habitat. It is a common sight in late summer: sweet autumn virgin’s bowers draping shrubs and lower branches of trees on road sides throughout the Piedmont and Coastal Plan Counties. Clematis terniflora is in the Ranunculaceae, the buttercup family. New Jersey has 3 members of the genus including sweet autumn virgin’s bowers. The other two are native: Clematis occidentalis v. occidentalis, (sun. verticilatus), the purple or mountain clematis, is a rare species (S2) confined to the Highlands and Valley and Ridge Counties, and Clematis virginiana, the Virgin’s bower our most visible native that can be seen on rich, moist soils near streams and wetlands.

  • The Vegetation of Whale Island. Part II. Species List of Vascular Plants, By
    Tane (1971) 17:39-46 39 THE VEGETATION OF WHALE ISLAND PART II. SPECIES LIST OF VASCULAR PLANTS by B.S. Parris* ABSTRACT A list of vascular plants found on Whale Island is presented together with the abundance of each species and the plant communities in which it occurs. INTRODUCTION This list was drawn up during the July visit and only a few species were added on the August visit. Further collections at more favourable seasons would probably add more species, particularly adventive annuals, to the list. The plant communities are as in Parris et al. (1971). Specimens of most species are lodged in the herbarium of the Auckland Institute and Museum. Nomenclature is as follows: indigenous dicotyledons and ferns, 'Flora of New Zealand' Vol. 1 by H.H. Allan (1961); indigenous monocotyledons, 'Flora of New Zealand' Vol. 2 by L.B. Moore and E. Edgar (1970); adventive species, 'Handbook of the Naturalised flora of New Zealand' by H.H. Allan (1941) and 'A Guide to the Identification of Weeds and Clovers' by A.J. Healy (1970). LIST OF SPECIES * adventive species Psilopsida Psilotum nudum locally abundant under kanuka, occurs under pohutukawa Lycopsida Lycopodium cernuum one locality Sulphur Valley L. varium Pa Hill Filicopsida Schizaeaceae Schizaea fistulosa Sulphur Valley Hymenophyllaceae Hymenophyllum sanguinolentum three localities, in forest Dicksoniaceae Dicksonia squarrosa local - forest and grassland * Plant Diseases Division, D.S.I.R.

Some seedlings of orna­ mentals were furnished through courtesy of Professor Maney and Mr. Stoutemeyer. Other seeds were obtained from diverse sources. Interest in seedling forms arises from the fact that they are constant for individual species, and differ widely between different groups.

  • Southern Garden History Plant Lists
    Southern Plant Lists Southern Garden History Society A Joint Project With The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation September 2000 1 INTRODUCTION Plants are the major component of any garden, and it is paramount to understanding the history of gardens and gardening to know the history of plants. For those interested in the garden history of the American south, the provenance of plants in our gardens is a continuing challenge. A number of years ago the Southern Garden History Society set out to create a ‘southern plant list’ featuring the dates of introduction of plants into horticulture in the South. This proved to be a daunting task, as the date of introduction of a plant into gardens along the eastern seaboard of the Middle Atlantic States was different than the date of introduction along the Gulf Coast, or the Southern Highlands. To complicate maters, a plant native to the Mississippi River valley might be brought in to a New Orleans gardens many years before it found its way into a Virginia garden. A more logical project seemed to be to assemble a broad array plant lists, with lists from each geographic region and across the spectrum of time. The project’s purpose is to bring together in one place a base of information, a data base, if you will, that will allow those interested in old gardens to determine the plants available and popular in the different regions at certain times. This manual is the fruition of a joint undertaking between the Southern Garden History Society and the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. In choosing lists to be included, I have been rather ruthless in expecting that the lists be specific to a place and a time.

  • Anthonomus Kuscheli and Berberidicola Exaratus Would
    Anthonomus kuscheli and Berberidicola exaratus would adversely affect the environment if feeding by larvae or adults significantly depressed the population dynamics of any native plant. Experiments to define the host range of these two weevils confirm that the risk of this outcome is not significant. Field surveys and outdoor experiments were conducted in Chile (the home range of the control agents) in 2009/10 and 2010/11, and in containment in New Zealand. Plants to be tested were selected in accord with the well-established principle that the most likely alternative hosts for a specialist insect are those most closely related phylogenetically to the primary host (Briese, 2005; Sheppard et al., 2005). The range of plants selected for testing in Chile was influenced by several factors: Berberidaceae and Ranunculaceae are the only families in the order Ranunculales represented in the New Zealand native flora (http://nzflora.landcareresearch.co.nz/ ). There are no native species in the family Berberidaceae in New Zealand. The native flora is not closely related to the target plant No New Zealand species in the Ranunculaceae have fruits suitable for attack by Berberidicola exaratus (Webb et al.,1989). All New Zealand native species that form fruits resembling those of Darwin's barberry are too distantly related to Darwin's barberry to warrant testing No New Zealand native species were available for testing in Chile Some species tested in Chile were only available growing in the field, and so tests were conducted at a range of sites over two seasons. A total of 17 plant species belonging to families within the order Ranunculales were exposed to A.

Hitchmough Cover: The Nationally Critical shrub Pittosporum serpentinum from the Surville Cliffs is severely affected by possums, and no seedlings have been found during recent surveys. Photo: Jeremy Rolfe. New Zealand Threat Classification Series is a scientific monograph series presenting publications related to the New Zealand Threat Classification System (NZTCS). Most will be lists providing NZTCS status of members of a plant or animal group (e.g. algae, birds, spiders). There are currently 23 groups, each assessed once every 3 years. After each 3-year cycle there will be a report analysing and summarising trends across all groups for that listing cycle. From time to time the manual that defines the categories, criteria and process for the NZTCS will be reviewed. Publications in this series are considered part of the formal international scientific literature. This report is available from the departmental website in pdf form.
