  • Nabalus Racemosus (Michx.) Hook. Glaucous White Lettuce
    New England Plant Conservation Program Nabalus racemosus (Michx.) Hook. Glaucous white lettuce Conservation and Research Plan for New England Prepared by: Lisa St. Hilaire Ecologist 14 Prospect St. Augusta, Maine 04339 USA For: New England Wild Flower Society 180 Hemenway Road Framingham, Massachusetts 01701 USA 508/877-7630 e-mail: [email protected] • website: www.newfs.org Approved, Regional Advisory Council, December 2003 1 SUMMARY Nabalus racemosus (Michx.) Hook., glaucous white lettuce, is a perennial member of the Asteraceae or composite family. It is considered globally secure (G5), but in New England, it is known only from northern Maine, primarily along the St. John River. There are also several occurrences along the Aroostook River. Ice scour and flooding are common annual disturbances on these rivers. Many of the N. racemosus populations were discovered during survey efforts for Pedicularis furbishiae (Furbish’s lousewort), and both species, as well as many other rarities, may be found at some sites. In other parts of the country, N. racemosus grows in prairie communities. There are currently 31 extant occurrences in Maine, 28 of these along the St. John River, and three on the Aroostook River. There are four historic occurrences, all on the Aroostook River, and one extirpated population on the Aroostook River. Nabalus racemosus is a species of Special Concern in Maine, where it is ranked S3. Other nearby areas from which it is recorded include New Brunswick (S3), Nova Scotia (S1), Newfoundland Island (S1S2), Labrador (SR), Quebec (SR), Vermont (SR), New Jersey (SH), New York (SX), and Pennsylvania (SX). Little is known regarding the biology of Nabalus racemosus.

  • Hairy-Fruit Sedge (Carex Trichocarpa) Floodplain Wetland
    Hairy-fruit Sedge (Carex trichocarpa) Floodplain Wetland System: Palustrine Subsystem: Herbaceous PA Ecological Group(s): River Floodplain Global Rank: G4 State Rank: S4 General Description This community occurs in small patches on floodplain edges, deposition bars, and islands where tree canopy is lacking, on medium- to large-sized rivers in the Allegheny, Susquehanna, and Delaware River Basins. This community commonly occurs on low flats associated with the active floodplains, either directly adjacent to the channel or in association with backwater depressions and slough, and is routinely flooded during most high-water events. This community also occurs on the lower portion of sloping shorelines of the Upper Delaware River, often giving the appearance of an extensive “lawn.” High energy flood-scour and ice floes limit the establishment and growth of trees and shrubs. Hairy-fruit sedge (Carex trichocarpa) is the dominant species in this community. Shrubs, which may be present, include sycamore (Platanus occidentalis), silky dogwood (Cornus amomum), and common blackberry (Rubus allegheniensis), as well as the invasive multiflora rose (Rosa multiflora). However, shrubs rarely comprise more than 25% of the plant cover. In some areas there are nearly pure stands of hairy-fruit sedge. In other areas, this type may include a more diverse plant composition that includes sedge (Carex emoryi), rice cutgrass (Leersia oryzoides), wool-grass (Scirpus cyperinus), skunk-cabbage (Symplocarpus foetidus), soft rush (Juncus effusus), short hair sedge (Carex crinita var. crinita), soft-stem bulrush (Schoenoplectus tabernaemontani), boneset (Eupatorium perfoliatum), jewelweed (Impatiens capensis), giant mannagrass (Glyceria grandis), tearthumb (Persicaria sagittata), ostrich fern (Matteuccia struthiopteris), late goldenrod (Solidago gigantea), false nettle (Boehmeria cylindrica), deer-tongue grass (Dichanthelium clandestinum), grass- leaved goldenrod (Euthamia graminifolia var.
