Scientific Name Common Name Alismataceae Family Water Caldwell County Modern Monocots, Ferns & Allies As of February 13, 2015 This checklist of the vascular plants of Caldwell County is primarily based on the collections in the herbarium at Plant Resource Center (PRC), University of Texas, Austin. Additional records were added from the USDA files, historic plant lists from Lockhart State Park (LSP), recent LSP surveys, and local private land surveys. Special codes used: asterisk (*) USDA, pound sign (#) local LSP and private land surveys. Rare plants listed from Rare Plants of Texas by Poole, et.al. are indicated with an exclamation point (!). New Biota of North Ameaica (BONAP) modern family names have an ampersand (&). Species marked in bold are listed on the Texas Department of Agriculture Noxious Weeds list, on the USDA list, or introduced.

Biodiversity Data Journal 8: e57331. https://doi.org/10.3897/BDJ.8.e57331 Abstract Syrphid flies (Diptera: Syrphidae) are a cosmopolitan group of flower-visiting insects, though their diversity and importance as pollinators is understudied and often unappreciated. Data on 1,477 Syrphid occurrences and floral associations from three years of pollinator collection (2017-2019) in the Southern Illinois region of Illinois, United States, are here compiled and analyzed. We collected 69 species in 36 genera off of the flowers of 157 plant species. While a richness of 69 species is greater than most other families of flower-visiting insects in our region, a species accumulation curve and regional species pool estimators suggest that at least 33 species are yet uncollected.

  • Biogeography of the Monocotyledon Astelioid Clade (Asparagales): a History of Long-Distance Dispersal and Diversification with Emerging Habitats
    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2021 Biogeography of the monocotyledon astelioid clade (Asparagales): A history of long-distance dispersal and diversification with emerging habitats Birch, Joanne L ; Kocyan, Alexander Abstract: The astelioid families (Asteliaceae, Blandfordiaceae, Boryaceae, Hypoxidaceae, and Lanari- aceae) have centers of diversity in Australasia and temperate Africa, with secondary centers of diversity in Afromontane Africa, Asia, and Pacific Islands. The global distribution of these families makes this an excellent lineage to test if current distribution patterns are the result of vicariance or long-distance dispersal and to evaluate the roles of tertiary climatic and geological drivers in lineage diversification. Sequence data were generated from five chloroplast regions (petL-psbE, rbcL, rps16-trnK, trnL-trnLF, trnS-trnSG) for 104 ingroup species sampled across global diversity. The astelioid phylogeny was inferred using maximum parsimony, maximum likelihood, and Bayesian inference methods. Divergence dates were estimated with a relaxed clock applied in BEAST. Ancestral ranges were reconstructed in ’BioGeoBEARS’ applying the corrected Akaike information criterion to test for the best-fit biogeographic model. Diver- sification rates were estimated in Bayesian Analysis of Macroevolutionary Mixtures [BAMM]. Astelioid relationships were inferred as Boryaceae(Blandfordiaceae(Asteliaceae(Hypoxidaceae plus Lanariaceae))). The crown astelioid node was dated to the Late Cretaceous (75.2 million years; 95% highest posterior densities interval 61.0-90.0 million years) with an inferred Eastern Gondwanan origin. However, aste- lioid speciation events have not been shaped by Gondwanan vicariance. Rather long-distance dispersal since the Eocene is inferred to account for current distributions.

Acknowledgements. This work was carried out under the supervision of Dr. P.M. Smith. I wish to express my sincere gratitude to him for the advice and assistance throughout the progress of the study. I also want to thank Dr. C.E. Jeffree who has been very supportive and proof read a substantial portion of the thesis. I am indebted to the University of Botswana for the financial support and for offering me a study leave to enable me to carry out this study. The work was carried out at the Department of Botany, University of Edinburgh, as well as at the Royal Botanic Garden, Edinburgh. I would like to extend my thanks to the authorities of both institutions, and their staff, who offered help in many ways. My collection of living material was cared for by Messrs Billy Adams and Bob Astles. I wish to thank them for their help. My thanks also go to members of the photographic unit of ICMB, particularly John Anthony, Dave Haswell and Frank Johnston, for their help. Mr. John Findlay (Botany Department) gave me guidance with my SEM work, for which I am grateful. I am indebted to the Directors of various herbaria who loaned me specimens. Helen Hoy and Marisa Main were in charge of the Edinburgh side of these loans.

  • Kimberly Norton Taylor1 and Dwayne Estes
    The floristic and community ecology of seasonally wet limestone glade seeps of Tennessee and Kentucky Kimberly Norton Taylor1 and Dwayne Estes Austin Peay State University Department of Biology and Center of Excellence for Field Biology Clarksville, Tennessee 37044, U.S.A. [email protected], [email protected] ABSTRACT An open, seasonally wet seep community supporting herbaceous vegetation occurs within the limestone cedar glade complex of the southeastern United States. The purpose of this study is to describe the floristic composition of these limestone glade seeps. A floristic inventory of 9 season- ally wet sites in central Tennessee and south-central Kentucky was performed, documenting 114 species and infraspecific taxa in 91 genera and 43 families. Vegetation analysis identified the dominant taxa as Eleocharis bifida (% IV 20.3), Sporobolus vaginiflorus (% IV 11.94), Hypericum sphaerocarpum (% IV 5.97), Allium aff. stellatum (% IV 4.71), Clinopodium glabellum/arkansanum (% IV 4.15), Schoenolirion croceum (% IV 3.89), Juncus filipendulus (% IV 3.89), and Carex crawei (% IV 3.84). Gratiola quartermaniae and Isoëtes butleri are also important members of the community and may serve as indicator species. A wetland assessment of the seep community was performed according to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual and appropriate regional supplements. Wetland vegetation requirements are satisfied in 8 of the 9 seasonally wet sites sampled. The limestone glade seeps appear to represent a previously unclassified seasonal wetland type. RESUMEN Una comunidad abierta, húmeda estacionalmente por filtración, compuesta por vegetación herbácea se da en el complejo de pantanos cal- cáreos de cedro del sureste de los Estados Unidos.
