Sericocarpus rigidus Asteraceae Rigid white topped aster ray florets 1-3, plants short (10-30 cm tall) short, white involucral bracts thick, with white base and green tip VASCULAR PLANTS OF THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST (1955) Institute of Applied Ecology Institute of Hitchcock & Cronquist, courtesy of University of Washington Press. Perennial from slender creeping rhizomes. Stems 10-30 cm tall, usually simple and unbranched up to the close terminal cluster of heads, rarely more branched, glabrous or nearly so except for the scabrous-ciliolate margins of the leaves. Lowermost leaves more or less reduced and usually soon deciduous, the largest ones a little above the base of the stem, 2.5-3.5 cm long, 5-9 mm wide, oblanceolate, tapering to the base, those above rather numerous and only gradually reduced, tending to be somewhat trinerved, often a little scabrous on the midrib beneath. Involucre 7-9 mm high, narrow, the bracts imbricate in several series, with a strong midrib or slight keel, white and chartaceous below, the light green herbaceous tip often loose or spreading. Rays (0)1-3, 1-3 mm long, shorter than the pappus, white. Disk florets few, mostly 9-21, pale yellow, with purple anthers. Gerald D.

NHESP is responsible for the conservation and protection of hundreds of species that are not hunted, fished, trapped, or commercially harvested in the state. The Program's highest priority is protecting the 176 species of vertebrate and invertebrate animals and 259 species of native plants that are officially listed as Endangered, Threatened or of Special Concern in Massachusetts. Endangered species conservation in Massachusetts depends on you! A major source of funding for the protection of rare and endangered species comes from voluntary donations on state income tax forms.

Sericocarpus Caespitosus, Sp. Nov. Phytoneuron 2021-33: 1–33
Nesom, G.L. 2021. Sericocarpus asteroides (Asteraceae: Astereae), rhizomatous and colonial, and Sericocarpus caespitosus, sp. nov. Phytoneuron 2021-33: 1–33. Published 5 July 2021. ISSN 2153 733X SERICOCARPUS ASTEROIDES (ASTERACEAE: ASTEREAE), RHIZOMATOUS AND COLONIAL, AND SERICOCARPUS CAESPITOSUS, SP. NOV. GUY L. NESOM Research Associate Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103 [email protected] ABSTRACT Allopatric population systems of two growth forms comprise the eastern USA species traditionally identified as Sericocarpus asteroides. The typical form (the type collected by Peter Kalm in New Jersey), which produces slender, stoloniform rhizomes, occurs along the Atlantic coast from southern Maine into South Carolina. Sericocarpus caespitosus Nesom, sp. nov., without stoloniform rhizomes, occurs inland from western New York to coastal counties of Alabama and Florida. An epitype is designated for Conyza asteroides L., clearly showing the rhizomes; neotypes are designated for Aster leucanthemus Raf. and Aster conyzoides var. plantaginifolius Nutt. (both are synonyms of S. asteroides sensu stricto). Sericocarpus oregonensis (with stoloniform rhizomes) and S. californicus (without stoloniform rhizomes) are similar in morphological distinction and have geographically separate distributions –– a similar rationale (morphology and geography) justifies their treatment as separate species. Sericocarpus asteroides (L.) B.S.P. occurs widely through the eastern USA (Fig. 1). Over much of its range, plants produce a relatively short, thick, fibrous-rooted rhizome with short basal offsets arising from a short caudex. Short, thick, caudex branches may arise from growth of these offsets. Along the Atlantic seaboard, however, from southern Maine to South Carolina, in addition to the larger perennating rhizome, plants produce slender, scale-leaved, stoloniform rhizomes that may elongate laterally up to 15 centimeters –– a rooting plantlet is produced at the tip of these rhizomes (these features are shown in type collections–Figs.
