  • Additions to the New Flora of Vermont
    Gilman, A.V. Additions to the New Flora of Vermont. Phytoneuron 2016-19: 1–16. Published 3 March 2016. ISSN 2153 733X ADDITIONS TO THE NEW FLORA OF VERMONT ARTHUR V. GILMAN Gilman & Briggs Environmental 1 Conti Circle, Suite 5, Barre, Vermont 05641 [email protected] ABSTRACT Twenty-two species of vascular plants are reported for the state of Vermont, additional to those reported in the recently published New Flora of Vermont. These are Agrimonia parviflora, Althaea officinalis , Aralia elata , Beckmannia syzigachne , Bidens polylepis , Botrychium spathulatum, Carex panicea , Carex rostrata, Eutrochium fistulosum , Ficaria verna, Hypopitys lanuginosa, Juncus conglomeratus, Juncus diffusissimus, Linum striatum, Lipandra polysperma , Matricaria chamomilla, Nabalus racemosus, Pachysandra terminalis, Parthenocissus tricuspidata , Ranunculus auricomus , Rosa arkansana , and Rudbeckia sullivantii. Also new are three varieties: Crataegus irrasa var. irrasa , Crataegus pruinosa var. parvula , and Viola sagittata var. sagittata . Three species that have been reported elsewhere in 2013–2015, Isoetes viridimontana, Naias canadensis , and Solidago brendiae , are also recapitulated. This report and the recently published New Flora of Vermont (Gilman 2015) together summarize knowledge of the vascular flora of Vermont as of this date. The New Flora of Vermont was recently published by The New York Botanical Garden Press (Gilman 2015). It is the first complete accounting of the vascular flora of Vermont since 1969 (Seymour 1969) and adds more than 200 taxa to the then-known flora of the state. However, the manuscript for the New Flora was finalized in spring 2013 and additional species are now known: those that have been observed more recently, that have been recently encountered (or re-discovered) in herbaria, or that were not included because they were under study at the time of finalization.

  • Cotula Coronopifolia (Brassbuttons)
    Cotula coronopifolia (brassbuttons) Small annual herb (up to 20 cm) with yellow flowers compressed like a button. Scientific name: Cotula coronopifolia L. Common names: brassbuttons, common brassbuttons Family: Asteraceae (Compositae) Status in Portugal: invasive species Risk Assessment score: (in development) Last update: 09/07/2014 How to recognise it Annual herb with stems up to 20 cm, stoloniferous , decumbent, glabrous and aromatic. Leaves: entire or with very little indentations, oblong, with an invaginating petiole, aromatic. Flowers: arranged in pedunculate capitula of 5-10 mm diameter, with yellow internal flowers (of the disk) shortly pedicellate, hermaphrodite, tubular; external flowers with long pedicels, without corolla; ovate involucral bracts and a scarious margin. Fruits: peripheral cypselas, compressed and winged; the ones from the disk are apterous. Capitula of yellow tubular flowers (Photo: Lísia Flowering: March to September. Lopes) Similar species Although it’s not easy to confuse Cotula coronopifolia, Tanacetum vulgare L. (common tansy) has Page 1/3 www.invasoras.pt Cotula coronopifolia (brassbuttons) capitula that are somewhat similar, but the plant is taller, the leaves have deep indentations, and since it is not salt intolerant it tends to occur in different habitats. Characteristics that aid invasion It propagates by seed producing many seeds that are dispersed by water, and able to travel hundreds of meters per year. The seeds are viable for 1 or 2 years. It also propagates vegetatively, through stem fragments that have great rooting ability. ORIGIN AND DISTRIBUTION Native distribution area South Africa (Cape region). Distribution in Portugal Mainland Portugal (Minho, Douro Litoral, Beira Litoral, Estremadura, Ribatejo, Baixo Alentejo, Algarve).

This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 License. Monograph No taxon left behind? – a critical taxonomic checklist of Carpinus and Ostrya (Coryloideae, Betulaceae) Norbert HOLSTEIN 1,* & Maximilian WEIGEND 2 1,2 Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn, Bonn, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany. * Corresponding author: [email protected] 2 Email: [email protected] Abstract. Hornbeams (Carpinus) and hop-hornbeams (Ostrya) are trees or large shrubs from the northern hemisphere. Currently, 43 species of Carpinus (58 taxa including subdivisions) and 8 species of Ostrya (9 taxa including sudivisions) are recognized. These are based on 175 (plus 16 Latin basionyms of cultivars) and 21 legitimate basionyms, respectively. We present an updated checklist with publication details and type information for all accepted names and the vast majority of synonyms of Carpinus and Ostrya, including the designation of 54 lectotypes and two neotypes. Cultivars are listed if validly described under the rules of the ICN. Furthermore, we consider Carpinus hwai Hu & W.C.Cheng to be a synonym of Carpinus fargesiana var. ovalifolia (H.J.P.Winkl.) Holstein & Weigend comb. nov. During the course of our work, we found 30 legitimate basionyms of non-cultivars that have been consistently overlooked since their original descriptions, when compared with the latest checklists and fl oristic treatments. As regional fl oras are highly important for taxonomic practice, we investigated the number of overlooked names and found that 78 basionyms were omitted at least once in the eight regional treatments surveyed.
