SMOOTH/EUROPEAN HAWKWEED COMPLEX Hieracium laevigatum / Hieracium sabaudum THREAT: These hawkweeds, introduced from Europe, are very difficult to distinguish and are very invasive. In Whatcom County, these hawkweeds have become a problem on road shoulders and are being assisted in their spread by vehicles. Plants reproduce by seed, which is wind dispersed. Dense stands of hawkweed can exclude most other vegetation. Although it is mainly found on road shoulders in this area, plants are starting to invade fields and other areas adjacent to roadside infestations. DESCRIPTION: In Europe, these hawkweeds are quite variable and may differ in some characteristics from the plants growing in Washington. The plants growing here are perennials, usually growing between 1 and 3 feet tall. The plant has a basal rosette of leaves, which are still present during flowering, and a few leaves (at least 2) growing up the flowering stalk. The leaves are lance-shaped and toothed, with hairs primarily on the underside of the leaf. The flowering stem has dense hairs below the flower heads, with more sparse hairs lower on the stem. A cluster of yellow flower heads grows near the top of the flowering stem, although a few flower heads may branch off further down the stem. The flower heads are bright yellow, and in Whatcom County, flowering usually peaks in August. The seedhead looks like a smaller version of the familiar dandelion “puffball” and the seeds are similarly dispersed by the wind. MANAGEMENT OPTIONS: Small stands of hawkweed can be dug by hand. Care must be taken to remove as much of the root system as possible. The area must be monitored for seedlings taking advantage of the disturbed soil. Mowing is ineffectual and may actually contribute to the spread of this plant. Hawkweed can be controlled through chemical methods; contact the weed control board for site specific recommendations. .

Washington Flora Checklist a Checklist of the Vascular Plants of Washington State Hosted by the University of Washington Herbarium
Washington Flora Checklist A checklist of the Vascular Plants of Washington State Hosted by the University of Washington Herbarium The Washington Flora Checklist aims to be a complete list of the native and naturalized vascular plants of Washington State, with current classifications, nomenclature and synonymy. The checklist currently contains 3,929 terminal taxa (species, subspecies, and varieties). Taxa included in the checklist: * Native taxa whether extant, extirpated, or extinct. * Exotic taxa that are naturalized, escaped from cultivation, or persisting wild. * Waifs (e.g., ballast plants, escaped crop plants) and other scarcely collected exotics. * Interspecific hybrids that are frequent or self-maintaining. * Some unnamed taxa in the process of being described. Family classifications follow APG IV for angiosperms, PPG I (J. Syst. Evol. 54:563?603. 2016.) for pteridophytes, and Christenhusz et al. (Phytotaxa 19:55?70. 2011.) for gymnosperms, with a few exceptions. Nomenclature and synonymy at the rank of genus and below follows the 2nd Edition of the Flora of the Pacific Northwest except where superceded by new information. Accepted names are indicated with blue font; synonyms with black font. Native species and infraspecies are marked with boldface font. Please note: This is a working checklist, continuously updated. Use it at your discretion. Created from the Washington Flora Checklist Database on September 17th, 2018 at 9:47pm PST. Available online at http://biology.burke.washington.edu/waflora/checklist.php Comments and questions should be addressed to the checklist administrators: David Giblin ([email protected]) Peter Zika ([email protected]) Suggested citation: Weinmann, F., P.F.

Pseudo-Oligolecty in Colletes Hederae (Apidae-Colletinae, Hymenoptera) 
© Biologiezentrum Linz, download www.zobodat.at Linzer biol. Beitr. 47/1 301-306 31.7.2015 Pseudo-oligolecty in Colletes hederae (Apidae-Colletinae, Hymenoptera) Herwig TEPPNER & Ursula BROSCH Abstract:Colletes hederae SCHMIDT & WESTRICH, 1993 females collect pollen from a number of different plant families at the beginning of the activity period (own observations and literature). Later, when Hedera helix is fully in bloom, it was believed for a long time, that the bee restricts its gathering to Hedera. However, at the peak of Hedera anthesis, C. hederae favours flowers of Rhus chinensis (Anacardiaceae) and Fallopia japonica (Polygonaceae), and others. Thus C. hederae is clearly polylectic with a binding to Hedera only caused due to environmental factors, i.e. the lack or insufficient presence of other attractive nectar and pollen sources. For this behaviour the term pseudo-oligolecty is proposed. K e y w o r d s : Hymenoptera, Apidae, Colletes hederae, Colletidae, pollen collection, pollen transport, propodeum-corbiculae, monolecty, oligolecty, polylecty, pseudo- oligolecty Introduction Colletes hederae SCHMIDT & WESTRICH, 1993 was observed for the first time in Styria in 2008 (TEPPNER & al. 2009). Since then, the species was observed regularly every year. So some additions can be given, especially information about the range of visited flowers. U. BROSCH contributed the analyses of pollen loads whereas the first author is responsible for the other parts of the paper. Material and methods Additionally to the voucher specimens mentioned in TEPPNER & al. (2009) 21 specimens from Graz and one from Vienna are deposited in the first author's collection. Pollen for analyses of pollen loads was taken from specimens in the collection or from live bees after cooling.
