  • "National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary."
    Intro 1996 National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands The Fish and Wildlife Service has prepared a National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary (1996 National List). The 1996 National List is a draft revision of the National List of Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1988 National Summary (Reed 1988) (1988 National List). The 1996 National List is provided to encourage additional public review and comments on the draft regional wetland indicator assignments. The 1996 National List reflects a significant amount of new information that has become available since 1988 on the wetland affinity of vascular plants. This new information has resulted from the extensive use of the 1988 National List in the field by individuals involved in wetland and other resource inventories, wetland identification and delineation, and wetland research. Interim Regional Interagency Review Panel (Regional Panel) changes in indicator status as well as additions and deletions to the 1988 National List were documented in Regional supplements. The National List was originally developed as an appendix to the Classification of Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the United States (Cowardin et al.1979) to aid in the consistent application of this classification system for wetlands in the field.. The 1996 National List also was developed to aid in determining the presence of hydrophytic vegetation in the Clean Water Act Section 404 wetland regulatory program and in the implementation of the swampbuster provisions of the Food Security Act. While not required by law or regulation, the Fish and Wildlife Service is making the 1996 National List available for review and comment.

  • Rosemary Extract
    Rosemary Extract CARNOSIC ACID Rosemary, Salvia rosmarinus, is an aromatic evergreen shrub with leaves similar to hemlock needles. It is a member of the mint family Lamiaceae and is native to the Mediterranean region. The rosemary plant has a low germination rate and relatively slow growth, but can live as long as 30 years and is able to withstand substantial droughts. The plant has white, pink, purple or deep blue flowers, and its leaves, twigs and flowering apices are all used for various medicinal and culinary purposes. Rosemary contains a number of phytochemicals, including rosmarinic acid, camphor, caffeic acid, ursolic acid, betulinic acid, carnosic acid, and carnosol. It is widely used for its antioxidant capabilities in multiple food applications including meat products, frying oils, fish oils, snacks, roasted nuts and many others. HISTORY APPLICATIONS The rosemary plant has ancient roots In further processed/ground meat and poultry In baked goods, snacks and oils, label-friendly as early as 5,000 BC, finally arrived in products, well-known, label-friendly rosemary rosemary extract can be used: the Americas in the beginning of the extract can be used: • as an all-purpose natural plant extract 17th century, and is now grown and • to delay flavor and color loss • in low-moisture snack products foods such distributed globally. • as ‘rosemary extract’ or ‘natural flavor’ as crackers, nutrition bars, nuts, etc. • as a universal clean label alternative to PRODUCTION synthetics in wide range of applications and can be combined with: The leaves of the rosemary plant • ascorbic acid are extracted using various methods Rosemary extract can be combined with: • ascorbyl palmitate in order to meet consumer needs.

  • Staminal Evolution in the Genus Salvia (Lamiaceae): Molecular Phylogenetic Evidence for Multiple Origins of the Staminal Lever
    Staminal Evolution In The Genus Salvia (Lamiaceae): Molecular Phylogenetic Evidence For Multiple Origins Of The Staminal Lever Jay B. Walker & Kenneth J. Sytsma (Dept. of Botany, University of Wisconsin, Madison) Annals of Botany (in press) Abstract • Background and Aims - The genus Salvia has traditionally included any member of the tribe Mentheae (Lamiaceae) with only two stamens and with each stamen expressing an elongate connective. The recent demonstration of the non-monophyly of the genus presents interesting implications for staminal evolution in the tribe Mentheae. In the context of a molecular phylogeny, we characterize the staminal morphology of the various lineages of Salvia and related genera and present an evolutionary interpretation of staminal variation within the tribe Mentheae. • Methods. Two molecular analyses are presented in order to investigate phylogenetic relationships in the tribe Mentheae and the genus Salvia. The first presents a tribal survey of the Mentheae and the second concentrates on Salvia and related genera. Schematic sketches are presented for the staminal morphology of each major lineage of Salvia and related genera. • Key Results. These analyses suggest an independent origin of the staminal elongate connective on at least three different occasions within the tribe Mentheae, each time with a distinct morphology. Each independent origin of the lever mechanism shows a similar progression of staminal change from slight elongation of the connective tissue separating two fertile thecae to abortion of the posterior thecae and fusion of adjacent posterior thecae. We characterize a monophyletic lineage within the Mentheae consisting of the genera Lepechinia, Melissa, Salvia, Dorystaechas, Meriandra, Zhumeria, Perovskia, and Rosmarinus. • Conclusions.

  • Purple Loosestrife Lythrum Salicaria L
    Weed of the Week Purple Loosestrife Lythrum salicaria L. Native Origin: Eurasia- Great Britain, central and southern Europe, central Russia, Japan, Manchuria China, Southeast Asia, and northern India Description: Purple loosestrife is an erect perennial herb in the loosestrife family (Lythraceae), growing to a height of 3-10 feet. Mature plants can have 1 to 50 4-sided stems that are green to purple and often branching making the plant bushy and woody in appearance. Opposite or whorled leaves are lance-shaped, stalk-less, and heart-shaped or rounded at the base. Plants are usually covered by a downy pubescence. Flowers are magenta-colored with five to seven petals and bloom from June to September. Seeds are borne in capsules that burst at maturity in late July or August. Single stems can produce an estimated two to three million seeds per year from a single rootstock. The root system consists of a large, woody taproot with fibrous rhizomes. Rhizomes spread rapidly to form dense mats that aid in plant production. Habitat: Purple loosestrife is capable of invading wetlands such as freshwater wet meadows, tidal and non-tidal marshes, river and stream banks, pond edges, reservoirs, and ditches. Distribution: This species is reported from states shaded on Plants Database map. It is reported invasive in CT, DC, DE, ID, IN, KY, MA, MD, ME, MI, MN, MO, NC, NE, NH, NJ, NY, OH, OR, PA, RI, TN, UT, VA, VT, WA, and WI. Ecological Impacts: It spreads through the vast number of seeds dispersed by wind and water, and vegetatively through underground stems at a rate of about one foot per year.

  • Survey and Analysis of Plant Community Types of Writing-On-Stone Provincial Park
    Survey and Analysis of Plant Community Types of Writing-on-Stone Provincial Park Survey and Analysis of Plant Community Types of Writing-on-Stone Provincial Park FINAL REPORT Prepared for Alberta Sustainable Resource Development Resource Data Branch Edmonton, Alberta Prepared by Wildlands Ecological Consulting Ltd. #60 Neal Close, Red Deer, AB T4P 1N4 Office: (403) 346-1057 Fax: (403) 346-3257 March 29, 2004 ABSTRACT Identification and monitoring of biological diversity in Alberta is the primary mandate of Alberta Natural Heritage Information Centre (ANHIC). A fundamental strategy in the preservation of functional ecosystems is to identify and preserve a full compliment of habitat types, which in return support a diversity of animals, plants, and other life forms. Vegetation is an integral component of habitat and provides a relatively easy means of inventory and monitoring of ecosystem health both spatially and temporally. The current study, in Writing-on-Stone Provincial Park, focuses on the identification of unique riparian and coulee plant associations, or plant community type. The study area is situated approximately 8 km north of the USA border and 40 km east of the town of Milk River and occurs at the interface between the Mixedgrass and Dry Mixedgrass Natural Subregions. Priority research is currently required to address gaps in the identification, description and distribution of plant associations within the coulee and riparian zones of these Subregions. Many of these communities recur over the landscape but may occur as very small patches of 1m2 or less. Alberta Sustainable Resource Development (ASRD) Resource Data Division contracted Wildlands Ecological to complete an inventory of natural/semi-natural plant communities, statistically analyse the data, and describe potential plant community or association types.
