  • "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.

  • Hydrocotyle Sibthorpioides and H. Batrachium (Araliaceae) New for New York State
    Atha, D. 2017. Hydrocotyle sibthorpioides and H. batrachium (Araliaceae) new for New York State. Phytoneuron 2017-56: 1– 6. Published 21 August 2017. ISSN 2153 733X HYDROCOTYLE SIBTHORPIOIDES AND H. BATRACHIUM (ARALIACEAE) NEW FOR NEW YORK STATE DANIEL ATHA Center for Conservation Strategy New York Botanical Garden Bronx, New York 10458 [email protected] ABSTRACT Spontaneous populations of Hydrocotyle sibthorpioides (lawn marsh pennywort) and H. batrachium (Araliaceae) are documented for New York state for the first time. Hydrocotyle batrachium is also new to North America. Hydrocotyle sibthorpioides was first found in 2013 in Queens county; H. batrachium was first found in 2016 in Westchester county. Both species are native to eastern Asia and show potential to be aggressive invaders in southeastern New York, particularly in wetlands. A key to the species of Hydrocotyle in New York State is provided. Prior to this report four species of Hydrocotyle were known from New York state, all of them native and all but one state-listed rarities: H. umbellata – Rare; H. verticillata var. verticillata – Endangered; and H. ranunculoides – Endangered (Young 2010). Among the native New York species, only H. americana occurs in abundance in the state. It is the only species historically reported for New York City and has not been documented for New York City since 1901. The present report documents two additional species for the New York flora, both native to Asia and naturalized in southeastern New York. Fertile herbarium specimens and DNA samples were obtained for all cited specimens and are available for analysis. Hydrocotyle sibthorpioides Lam. Spontaneous populations of Hydrocotyle sibthorpioides in New York were first detected and identified in Queens County by Nick Wagerik in the summer of 2013.

  • Vascular Flora and Vegetation Classification of the South Atlantic Coastal Plain Limestone Forest Association of Central Georgia
    VASCULAR FLORA AND VEGETATION CLASSIFICATION OF THE SOUTH ATLANTIC COASTAL PLAIN LIMESTONE FOREST ASSOCIATION OF CENTRAL GEORGIA by PATRICK SUMNER LYNCH (Under the Direction of J.L. Hamrick) ABSTRACT The South Atlantic Coastal Plain Limestone forest is a globally imperiled (G2) forest association known only from the upper Coastal Plain of central Georgia. These calcareous forest communities support diverse floristic assemblages unique among the Georgia Coastal Plain, but have not been subject to detailed floristic study. I conducted a comprehensive floristic inventory, multivariate community analyses and floristic quality assessments to document composition, elucidate community structure and underlying physiographic regimes, and assess habitat integrity for seven sites in Houston, Bleckley and Twiggs counties. Community analyses revealed twelve community types within two floristically defined domains corresponding to uplands and slopes, and bottomlands, respectively, and governed largely by moisture content and degree of inclination. Floristic quality assessments revealed varying degrees of floristic quality and habitat integrity corresponding primarily to local physiography and disturbance history. Floristic inventory recovered 339 vascular plant taxa representing 218 genera in 98 families, including 17 rare Georgia species.

  • Triadenum Fraseri, Hypericaceae) Im Emsdettener Venn (Kreis Steinfurt, Nordrhein-Westfalen)
    Veröff. Bochumer Bot. Ver. 8(4) 25–28 2016 Frasers Auenhartheu (Triadenum fraseri, Hypericaceae) im Emsdettener Venn (Kreis Steinfurt, Nordrhein-Westfalen) LUDWIG KLASING, PETER SCHWARTZE, GÖTZ HEINRICH LOOS & ARMIN JAGEL Kurzfassung Im NSG Emsdettener Venn im Kreis Steinfurt/NRW wächst seit mindestens 2011 Frasers Auenhartheu (Triade- num fraseri), eine Art, die an sumpfigen Standorten in Nord-Amerika heimisch ist. Das Vorkommen breitet sich im Emsdettener Venn weiter aus und ist hier offensichtlich bereits eingebürgert. Da es sich wahrscheinlich um die erste Verwilderung der Art in Deutschland handelt, wird Frasers Auenhartheu mit Fotos vorgestellt und das Vorkommen näher beschrieben. Abstract: Fraser's St. John's wort (Triadenum fraseri, Hypericaceae) in the fen of Emsdetten (District of Steinfurt, North-Rhine Westphalia, Germany). Fraser's St. John's wort (Triadenum fraseri), a species native to wetland habitats of North-America, has been known to grow at least since 2011 in the fen of Emsdetten. The species's range is expanding and it can be considered established in this fen. Since this population represents most likely the first known case of successful establishment in Germany, its occurrence will be discussed in detail. 1 Einleitung Seit mindestens sechs Jahren wächst im Naturschutzgebiet Emsdettener Venn im Kreis Steinfurt eine Pflanzenart in einem Moortümpel, die mit herkömmlicher mitteleuropäischer Bestimmungsliteratur nicht zu bestimmen ist. So ist sie z. B. weder in der neuesten Auflage des SCHMEIL-FITSCHEN (2016) enthalten, noch im Zier- und Nutzpflanzen-Band des ROTHMALER (JÄGER & al. 2008) oder im neuesten ZANDER (2014). Selbst die European Garden Flora (ROBSON 2011) nennt weder die Gattung noch die Art.

En el PNM se reconocen seis tipos de vegetación, predominando los bosques de Pinus-Quercus y de Quercus. Se encontraron 101 especies, distribuidas en 13 tribus y 51 géneros; dos de ellas naturalizadas (exóticas). Los miembros más numerosos son de las tribus Eupatorieae (26), Heliantheae (17), Astereae (11) y Coreopsideae (10). Los géneros mejor representados son Ageratina (11), Stevia (11), Pseudognaphalium (6) y Dahlia (5). Las especies endémicas al territorio de la República constituyen el componente más importante (54), siguiendo en relevancia las distribuidas de México a Centroamérica (16); solamente cinco (incluyendo las dos introducidas) también existen en el Viejo Mundo.

Each individual taxon is being treated here with the protologue at first along with the author citation and then referring the available important references for overall and/or adjacent floras and taxonomic treatments. Mentioned below is the list of important books, selected scientific journals, papers, newsletters and periodicals those have been referred during the citation of references.
