It occurs in habitats of mixed scrub forest and ridges and bluffs along small waterways, preferring well drained soil. These features make Arkansas oak rare and conservation difficult. It was recently upgraded to endangered status (IUCN 3.1) and at serious risk, without legal protection in most of its range (state threatened in FL) (9, 10). Bottlebrush Buckeye, Aesculus parviflora, is endemic to Alabama, southwest Georgia, and one South Carolina County, and is of conservation concern in North America. The species is considered G3-vunerable in NatureServe, with an estimate of less than 100 occurrences. Alabama populations are vulnerable (S3), Georgia populations are vulnerable to imperiled (S2S3), while the disjunctive South Carolina population is critically imperiled (S1). Aesculus parviflora currently has no legal protection, though considered rare by the South Carolina DNR. Acorns and Buckeyes are recalcitrant and unable to be stored long-term. The best enduring option for germplasm storage – living genetic resources that are maintained for plant breeding, preservation, conservation and other research – is to collect seed or other plant material from the 3 wild representing the widest possible range of genetic diversity found in nature, and growing the trees in botanical gardens, arboretums, and nurseries. To this end the Missouri Botanical Garden, Bellefontaine Cemetery, and AU Davis Arboretum have partnered on a Tree Gene Conservation Project to survey and collect Quercus arkansana and Aesculus parviflora in ex-situ collections as per our grant proposal (1). A total of four trips were carried out, over the span of seven months. Figure 1 - Map of localities surveyed for Arkansas oak (2017). White circles represent the populations of Quercus arkansana which were located and surveyed. Black circles represent population records that were unable to be relocated, and are presumed to be extirpated. Objectives/Goals 1. Survey and document occurrences of Quercus arkansana, especially disjunct, valuable, underrepresented and at risk occurrences from a wide geographical range. 2. Survey and document occurrences of Aesculus parviflora, especially disjunct, valuable, underrepresented and at risk occurrences from a wide geographical range. 3. Record threats to populations. 4. Survey acorn and Aesculus flower occurrence, to inform fall seed collection 4 5. Collect acorns, seed, and divisions of target species and distribute to partner APGA gardens. Daily Work Logs: Work Log: AL, GA, FL Scouting/Collecting Trip-May 2017 Submitted by David Gunn Wednesday, May 24th: Jared and I worked together getting supplies ready for scouting trip. Camping: Tents, sleeping bags/pads, stove, food, storage bins, and cooler. Tools: pruners, loppers, pole saws/pruners, extension pruners, shovels, trowels, buckets. Supplies: plant press, blotters, newspaper, baggies, pots, sphagnum moss, log books, paper towels, Physan disinfectant, GPS-Garmin and Trimble, chargers, car adapter. Stored all supplies in spare office at MBG Thursday, May 25th: I picked up Jared and his gear and we drove to MBG to meet Kyle at 6a; loaded supplies into the van (on loan from Bellefontaine). Double checked supply lists and got on road by 8a. Kyle followed me to my apt to drop off my truck. We drove 560 mi to Atlanta (Kyle driving), arriving at 6p (heavy traffic) and stayed night with Kyle’s friend, Parker. Friday, May 26th: We packed the van and got on the road by 7a.; Drove to Drummond Swamp in Bartow County to scout for Alnus maritima for possible future conservation initiatives; found small population near pullout (JEC 22). Explored nearby creeks and drainages for Aesculus populations-found none present. Jared: logged data and took GPS coordinates. Kyle: took photos and DNA samples, helped with van navigation. Dave: Drove van, took herbarium vouchers, handled logistics. Drove to Red Top Mountain S.P. in Cartersville, GA to hike homestead trail to get a feel for local communities and hone local ID skills. We returned to Parker’s home for the evening. Saturday, May 27th: Loaded gear into van and on the road by 7a. We drove to Pine Valley Mountain, GA to explore reputed Aesculus parviflora population in Bethlehem Creek-found no populations present. Drove 5 to Auburn University in Alabama to meet with Patrick Thompson and toured Davis Arboretum; Drove to Montgomery County to explore Jackson Creek-found population of A. parviflora (JEC 23); Drove to Pike County to explore Patsaliga Creek-found A. parviflora population (JEC 24). Drove to Forever Wild Pocosin Tract- scouted for and found Q. arkansana population (JEC 25). At each site, Jared: logged data and took GPS coordinates. Kyle: took photos and DNA samples, helped with van navigation. Dave: Drove van, took herbarium vouchers, logistics, Patrick: helped with ID, scouting and additional photos. Returned to Auburn and spent night at Patrick’s home. Bethlehem Creek, Georgia Sunday, May 28th: Packed up and got on road by 6:30a, with Patrick following us in his truck, to Fort Benning, GA. Met with Brian Waldrup, Lead Forester for Land Management Branch, at 8a. We drove around the base in Brian’s truck. We first visited site of former state champion Q. arkansana (JEC 26- 27), drove to another site and walked into large A. parviflora site located in a ravine (JEC 28). Jared took data and GPS, Dave dug divisions and took herbarium vouchers, Patrick dug divisions and scouted size of population, Kyle took photos, DNA samples, and helped pack divisions. We drove to another Q. arkansana site (JEC 29-30). Jared: logged data and took GPS coordinates. Kyle: took photos and DNA samples, helped with van navigation. Dave: took herbarium vouchers, logistics. Patrick scouted surrounding area, helped with ID of associated species, took photos. Patrick departed for Auburn. Jared, Kyle, and Dave continued with Brian, scouting several areas throughout base looking for additional A. parviflora sites-found none. Parted ways with Brian and drove to Bluff Creek Park to spend night. After dinner, all three of us packed divisions in wet moss and foil, and prepped for shipping the next morning. Kyle took some video of the process. 6 Monday, May 29th: Got on road by 6a to begin driving to Williams Bluffs Nature Preserve in Early County, GA, stopping along the way to ship A. parviflora divisions that were collected yesterday back to MBG, so Justin Lee could start propagation treatment. Arrived at Williams Bluffs and drove and hiked extensively throughout preserve to scout for A. parviflora and Q. arkansana. We located one small population of Q. arkansana along forest edge of power line right-of-way (JEC 31). Jared: logged data and took GPS coordinates. Kyle: took photos and DNA samples, helped with van navigation. Dave: drove van, took herbarium vouchers, logistics. Drove to Kolomoki Mounds S.P., stopping at several roadside sites where Q. arkansana populations have been spotted in the past; found none. Our thoughts are that populations either integrated and hybridized with Q. nigra or those original IDs were incorrect. We spent the evening camping at Kolomoki Mounds S.P. Tuesday, May 30th: Awoke at 6a, packed up camp, and drove to visitor’s center to explore possible Q. arkansana population, and found small stand near pump house #5 (JEC 32). On road by 9a, driving toward Apalachicola N.F. Spent whole day driving around forest, scouting for Q. arkansana sites, following old collections notes, and found none. Consensus was that area has possibly seen a lot of lumber removal and controlled burns, and that populations once recorded, no longer exist. We drove to Camel Lake campground to spend night. Wednesday, May 31st: On road by 8a; drove to Apalachicola Bluffs and Ravines Preserve. Met with Annie Schmidt, loaded gear into her truck, and visited Sweet Water Tract-East and scouted for possible Q. arkansana populations; found none present. Drove to Sweet Water Tract-West to continue Q. 7 arkansana scouting, found none there, either. We drove back to Camel Lake campground to spend the night. Thursday, June 1st: Awoke and broke down camp, on the road by 8a. We started driving toward Fort Walton Beach, stopping along several roadside sites to scout. We arrived in Fort Walton Beach, FL around 2p. Checked into hotel room, unloaded gear and took rest of afternoon off to research next collecting sites, call contacts, etc. Friday, June 2nd: Packed up gear for the day and drove to Eglin AFB, arriving at 8a, with plans to meet Ryan Campbell. Ryan was out sick, so instead met with Jared Barton (Forestry Dept.). Loaded gear into his truck, scouted and collected samples from several Q. arkansana sites (JEC 50-53). Jared: logged data and took GPS coordinates. Kyle: took photos and DNA samples. Dave: took herbarium vouchers. We returned to Fort Walton Beach to spend evening. Saturday, June 3rd: Load gear into van, checked out and on road by 8a, driving toward Fred Gannon Rocky Bayou S.P.

  • Pilgrimage Schedule
    43RD ANNUAL SPRING WILDFLOWER PILGRIMAGE MAY 04 - 06, 2012 CLAYTON, RABUN COUNTY, GEORGIA & ADJACENT AREAS Clayton, our headquarters for the 43rd Spring Wildflower Pilgrimage, is nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains of northeast Georgia just a stone’s throw from the Carolinas. The Sumter National Forest is to the east, the Nantahala National Forest is to the north, and the Chattahoochee National Forest is all around Clayton. Some of Georgia’s highest mountains are but a short drive. A diverse group of interested persons from four or more states are expected to participate. The pilgrimage will consist of a Friday night social with a program and great food, a Saturday banquet with a special presentation program and more great food, and fantastic field trips to some very special places located in the region. Clayton and the surrounding area have a diversity of interesting shops that will entice you to shop for local arts, crafts, and foods. Clayton is the county seat for Rabun County, founded in 1819 from land formally inhabited by the Cherokee and named for Governor William Rabun. The 377 square miles of Rabun County comprise the most northeastern section of Georgia’s Blue Ridge Geographical Province, a region that encompasses a mere 5% of Georgia. Sixty percent of the county is public lands under the management of the US Forest Service or the Georgia Department of Natural Resources. This beautiful area of scenic valleys, high rugged mountains, clear streams, and lush forests is attractive year round, but offers a special floristic bounty each spring. Join the Georgia Botanical Society for the Annual Spring Wildflower Pilgrimage and share in this rich and beautiful bounty.

  • Guide to the Flora of the Carolinas, Virginia, and Georgia, Working Draft of 17 March 2004 -- LILIACEAE
    Guide to the Flora of the Carolinas, Virginia, and Georgia, Working Draft of 17 March 2004 -- LILIACEAE LILIACEAE de Jussieu 1789 (Lily Family) (also see AGAVACEAE, ALLIACEAE, ALSTROEMERIACEAE, AMARYLLIDACEAE, ASPARAGACEAE, COLCHICACEAE, HEMEROCALLIDACEAE, HOSTACEAE, HYACINTHACEAE, HYPOXIDACEAE, MELANTHIACEAE, NARTHECIACEAE, RUSCACEAE, SMILACACEAE, THEMIDACEAE, TOFIELDIACEAE) As here interpreted narrowly, the Liliaceae constitutes about 11 genera and 550 species, of the Northern Hemisphere. There has been much recent investigation and re-interpretation of evidence regarding the upper-level taxonomy of the Liliales, with strong suggestions that the broad Liliaceae recognized by Cronquist (1981) is artificial and polyphyletic. Cronquist (1993) himself concurs, at least to a degree: "we still await a comprehensive reorganization of the lilies into several families more comparable to other recognized families of angiosperms." Dahlgren & Clifford (1982) and Dahlgren, Clifford, & Yeo (1985) synthesized an early phase in the modern revolution of monocot taxonomy. Since then, additional research, especially molecular (Duvall et al. 1993, Chase et al. 1993, Bogler & Simpson 1995, and many others), has strongly validated the general lines (and many details) of Dahlgren's arrangement. The most recent synthesis (Kubitzki 1998a) is followed as the basis for familial and generic taxonomy of the lilies and their relatives (see summary below). References: Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (1998, 2003); Tamura in Kubitzki (1998a). Our “liliaceous” genera (members of orders placed in the Lilianae) are therefore divided as shown below, largely following Kubitzki (1998a) and some more recent molecular analyses. ALISMATALES TOFIELDIACEAE: Pleea, Tofieldia. LILIALES ALSTROEMERIACEAE: Alstroemeria COLCHICACEAE: Colchicum, Uvularia. LILIACEAE: Clintonia, Erythronium, Lilium, Medeola, Prosartes, Streptopus, Tricyrtis, Tulipa. MELANTHIACEAE: Amianthium, Anticlea, Chamaelirium, Helonias, Melanthium, Schoenocaulon, Stenanthium, Veratrum, Toxicoscordion, Trillium, Xerophyllum, Zigadenus.

  • Native Trees of Georgia
    1 NATIVE TREES OF GEORGIA By G. Norman Bishop Professor of Forestry George Foster Peabody School of Forestry University of Georgia Currently Named Daniel B. Warnell School of Forest Resources University of Georgia GEORGIA FORESTRY COMMISSION Eleventh Printing - 2001 Revised Edition 2 FOREWARD This manual has been prepared in an effort to give to those interested in the trees of Georgia a means by which they may gain a more intimate knowledge of the tree species. Of about 250 species native to the state, only 92 are described here. These were chosen for their commercial importance, distribution over the state or because of some unusual characteristic. Since the manual is intended primarily for the use of the layman, technical terms have been omitted wherever possible; however, the scientific names of the trees and the families to which they belong, have been included. It might be explained that the species are grouped by families, the name of each occurring at the top of the page over the name of the first member of that family. Also, there is included in the text, a subdivision entitled KEY CHARACTERISTICS, the purpose of which is to give the reader, all in one group, the most outstanding features whereby he may more easily recognize the tree. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The author wishes to express his appreciation to the Houghton Mifflin Company, publishers of Sargent’s Manual of the Trees of North America, for permission to use the cuts of all trees appearing in this manual; to B.

  • Native Plants for Your Backyard
    U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Native Plants for Your Backyard Native plants of the Southeastern United States are more diverse in number and kind than in most other countries, prized for their beauty worldwide. Our native plants are an integral part of a healthy ecosystem, providing the energy that sustains our forests and wildlife, including important pollinators and migratory birds. By “growing native” you can help support native wildlife. This helps sustain the natural connections that have developed between plants and animals over thousands of years. Consider turning your lawn into a native garden. You’ll help the local environment and often use less water and spend less time and money maintaining your yard if the plants are properly planted. The plants listed are appealing to many species of wildlife and will look attractive in your yard. To maximize your success with these plants, match the right plants with the right site conditions (soil, pH, sun, and moisture). Check out the resources on the back of this factsheet for assistance or contact your local extension office for soil testing and more information about these plants.

  • Nutrient Foraging in Woodland Herbs: a Comparison of Three Species of Uvularia (Liliaceae) with Contrasting Belowground Morphologies1
    American Journal of Botany 88(6): 1071±1079. 2001. NUTRIENT FORAGING IN WOODLAND HERBS: A COMPARISON OF THREE SPECIES OF UVULARIA (LILIACEAE) WITH CONTRASTING BELOWGROUND MORPHOLOGIES1 DUSHYANTHA K. WIJESINGHE2 AND DENNIS F. W HIGHAM3 Smithsonian Environmental Research Center, P.O. Box 28, Edgewater, Maryland 21037 USA We compared the ability of three closely related species, Uvularia perfoliata, U. sessilifolia, and U. puberula, to forage and explore patches in nutritionally homogeneous and heterogeneous environments. The species differed in type and function of plagiotropic stems and the extent of clonality and physiological integration. Our aim was to determine (1) whether selective placement of roots in high- nutrient patches, i.e., foraging, was accompanied by facilitatory morphological changes such as internode elongation or increased branching, (2) whether foraging ability of species depended on the extent of physiological integration, and (3) how variability in environmental quality in¯uenced the performance of each species. We studied the growth of each species over two seasons in exper- imental environments. Uvularia perfoliata and U. puberula foraged in high-nutrient patches in heterogeneous environments. Uvularia sessilifolia did not show selective placement of roots. The two clonal species, U. perfoliata and U. sessilifolia, did not show any changes in architectural traits predicted to facilitate foraging. The nonclonal species, U. puberula, was the strongest forager and the most physiologically integrated species, U. sessilifolia, was the weakest forager, in line with the view that physiological integration limits foraging ef®ciency. Variability in environmental quality had little effect on the performance of the three species. Yield and estimators of ®tness were not greater in treatments where more high-quality patches were encountered consecutively than in treatments where fewer high-quality patches were encountered consecutively during growth.
