INTRODUCTION Lysimachio, comprising the plants commonly known as loosestrife, is a large and discontinnously wide-ranging genus of dicotyledonous angiosperms of the family Primulaceae. At present it includes over one hundred and sixty species which occur on all the principal land masses of the world, but are most numerous in central Asia. Although not a genus of economic importance, Lysimachia has received considerable attention, especially from European botanists. Jean Duby (1844), F. W. Klatt (1866), and R. Knuth (1905) wrote world monographs. In a re- vision of the Chinese species, H. Handel-Mazzetti ( 1926 ) included an outline of the entire genus. Rut there has not been a comparative study of the eighty-five species described from the New World since 1753. About thirty species may be accounted for in current American manuals. This investigation is an attempt to interpret the biological problems in- herent in such a group and to relate them in terms of contemporary systematics. Many herbarium specimens, representatives of the total known geo- graphic and morphologic range of each entity, have been critically ex- amined. Field studies and a systematic review of the literature also were made in order that an accurate diagnosis and description of each taxon might result in a more clearly drawn specific concept than was previously possible. The species as interpreted are groups of naturally occurring, apparently interfertile populations with definite morphological characters, geographic ranges, and ecological preferences. With comparative mor- phology as an indicator of genetic relationship, species appear as well de- fined groups with a level of variation related to distribution and ecology. No economic value beyond the occasional use of some of the species of Lysimachia as ornamentals or occurrence as weeds is known. Ancient lore attributes to the plants a unique property and perhaps accounts for the origin of their name. When placed about the yokes of discordant oxen, the plant supposedly had the power of conciliation. Tradition has it that King Lysimachus of Thrace, when confronted by an enraged bull, waved a loosestrife before him and quelled the beast. Both the generic and common names may come from the Greek lysis, a release, and mache, strife. During the course of this investigation the author has enjoyed the kindness and cooperation of many persons. Sincere appreciation is ex- pressed to Dr. G. Neville Jones, Professor of Botany and Curator of the 1 : Z THE GENUS LYSIMACHIA IN THE NEW WORLD Herbarium, University of Illinois, under whose guidance it progressed. The interest and assistance of Mr. Harry E. Ahles is deeply appreciated. Dr. V. H. Chase, of the Peoria Academy of Science, and Mr. C. L. Lee have been very helpful. I am deeply indebted to my wife, Dorothv Burkett Ray, whose conscientious efforts were an inspiration. Acknowledgment is due the curators of the various herbaria who sent specimens or furnished photographic material.

HISTORY OF THE GENUS Although no bibliographical survey of the literature of this genus before 1753 has been attempted in the present study, a few fragments of history should be noted from earlier writers. Caspar Bauhin (1671) pub- lished an account which included eight species later recognized by Linnaeus, but J. P. Tournefort (1700) established the genus. Plukenet (1705) figured L. terrestris, an American indigen, in his Amaltheum Botanicum. J. F. Gronovious, in Flora Virginica (1735), accounted for L. quadrifolia and L. punctata, and his Nummularia aquatica Becagun- gae foliis probably is L.

    "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.

    WETLAND PLANTS – Full Species List (English) RECORDING FORM

    WETLAND PLANTS – full species list (English) RECORDING FORM Surveyor Name(s) Pond name Date e.g. John Smith (if known) Square: 4 fig grid reference Pond: 8 fig grid ref e.g. SP1243 (see your map) e.g. SP 1235 4325 (see your map) METHOD: wetland plants (full species list) survey Survey a single Focal Pond in each 1km square Aim: To assess pond quality and conservation value using plants, by recording all wetland plant species present within the pond’s outer boundary. How: Identify the outer boundary of the pond. This is the ‘line’ marking the pond’s highest yearly water levels (usually in early spring). It will probably not be the current water level of the pond, but should be evident from the extent of wetland vegetation (for example a ring of rushes growing at the pond’s outer edge), or other clues such as water-line marks on tree trunks or stones. Within the outer boundary, search all the dry and shallow areas of the pond that are accessible. Survey deeper areas with a net or grapnel hook. Record wetland plants found by crossing through the names on this sheet. You don’t need to record terrestrial species. For each species record its approximate abundance as a percentage of the pond’s surface area. Where few plants are present, record as ‘<1%’. If you are not completely confident in your species identification put’?’ by the species name. If you are really unsure put ‘??’. After your survey please enter the results online: www.freshwaterhabitats.org.uk/projects/waternet/ Aquatic plants (submerged-leaved species) Stonewort, Bristly (Chara hispida) Bistort, Amphibious (Persicaria amphibia) Arrowhead (Sagittaria sagittifolia) Stonewort, Clustered (Tolypella glomerata) Crystalwort, Channelled (Riccia canaliculata) Arrowhead, Canadian (Sagittaria rigida) Stonewort, Common (Chara vulgaris) Crystalwort, Lizard (Riccia bifurca) Arrowhead, Narrow-leaved (Sagittaria subulata) Stonewort, Convergent (Chara connivens) Duckweed , non-native sp.

    Moneywort Lysimachia Nummularia L

    Weed of the Week Moneywort Lysimachia nummularia L. Common Names: moneywort, creeping Jenny, creeping Charlie, creeping Joan, running Jenny, wandering Jenny, wandering sailor Native Origin: Introduced from Europe and southwest Asia for horticulture as an ornamental ground cover. Description: An herbaceous, low-growing, perennial plant in the primrose family (Primulaceae), with evergreen to semi-evergreen foliage. The smooth creeping stems can grow up to 2 feet long and 2-4 inches in height and branch frequently to form a mat-like growth. Leaves are opposite, simple and broadly ovate ¼ to 1 ½ inches long. The broadly oval leaves, which are obtuse at both ends, resemble small coins and give the plant its name. The flowers are solitary in the leaf axils and have pedicels that are about the same length as the leaves. They are yellow with small dark red spots, blooming from June to August, but often do not flower at all. The small seeds are borne in capsular fruits that are roughly as long as its sepals. In riparian areas, seeds are likely dispersed by flood waters. The extent to which seeds are dispersed by animals is not fully known, but some transport seems likely. It is also spreads vegetatively by creeping stems. Habitat: It can be found in a variety of different habitat types; however, it grows most vigorously and poses the biggest threat in moist areas such as wet meadows, swamps, floodplain forests, stream banks, bottoms, ditches, roadsides and along the banks of small water bodies. It prefers moist, rich, shaded soils. Distribution: It is found throughout the eastern United States with the exception of Florida.
