"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. -

ABSTRACT – Cyperus articulatus L., belonging to the Cyperaceae family, is a plant species that has almost insignificant flowers at its ends. The stalks of the species produce tubers that, when cut, give off a fresh, woody and spicy smell; they are traditionally used in baths and in the manufacture of artisanal colonies in northern Brazil. In addition to use in cosmetics and perfumery, the plant also has medicinal and pharmacological properties. Among the pharmacological properties are the antimalarial, sedative, hepatoprotective, contraceptive effects on the central nervous system (CNS), insecticide, antimicrobial, anticancer, antioxidant, anticonvulsant, anthococcosis. The metabolites found related to the mentioned activities were cyperotundone, alpha-cyperone, mustacone for antimalarial activity in the chloroform extract of the priprioca rhizomes. -

Bangladesh J. Plant Taxon. 25(1): 79-91, 2018 (June) © 2018 Bangladesh Association of Plant Taxonomists TRADITIONAL HONEY PRODUCTION AND BEE FLORA OF ESPIYE, TURKEY 1 2 3 MUSTAFA KARAKÖSE, RIDVAN POLAT , M. OLIUR RAHMAN AND UĞUR ÇAKILCIOĞLU Giresun University, Espiye Vocational School, Giresun, Turkey Keywords: Bee flora; Honeybee; Espiye; Turkey. Abstract This paper presents potential honey bee plants in Espiye (Giresun) which can be considered as a guide for beekeepers and researchers. A total of 149 taxa belonging to 125 genara and 48 families were recorded as pollen and nectary sources for honey bee colonies at Espiye (Giresun) region. Among the recorded taxa 58 were Phanerophytes, 57 taxa Hemicryptophytes, 19 taxa Therophytes, 13 taxa Cryptophytes and 2 taxa Chamaephytes. Updated nomenclature along with the families, local names, life form, flowering period and ecological status have been furnished under 94 herbs, 28 shrubs and 27 trees. Introduction Turkey is one of the countries where the honey production is at the highest level in the World (Özturk and Erkan, 2010). In the recent past, the forest area in Turkey has increased from 20.2 million/ ha to 22.3 million/ha between 1973 and 2015 (OGM, 2013-2015). Very recently, the Forest General Directorate has started to implementing the honey action plan to promote honey production and contribute to rural development (OGM, 2013-2015). As part of the action plan, up to 356 honey forests have been established and now, Turkey is in the second row in the world’s honey production and beekeeping.Turkey produces 92% of the world’s pine honey, specifically in its West Mediterranean and South Aegean regions. -

Phylogeny and Phylogenetic Taxonomy of Dipsacales, with Special Reference to Sinadoxa and Tetradoxa (Adoxaceae)
PHYLOGENY AND PHYLOGENETIC TAXONOMY OF DIPSACALES, WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO SINADOXA AND TETRADOXA (ADOXACEAE) MICHAEL J. DONOGHUE,1 TORSTEN ERIKSSON,2 PATRICK A. REEVES,3 AND RICHARD G. OLMSTEAD 3 Abstract. To further clarify phylogenetic relationships within Dipsacales,we analyzed new and previously pub- lished rbcL sequences, alone and in combination with morphological data. We also examined relationships within Adoxaceae using rbcL and nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences. We conclude from these analyses that Dipsacales comprise two major lineages:Adoxaceae and Caprifoliaceae (sensu Judd et al.,1994), which both contain elements of traditional Caprifoliaceae.Within Adoxaceae, the following relation- ships are strongly supported: (Viburnum (Sambucus (Sinadoxa (Tetradoxa, Adoxa)))). Combined analyses of C ap ri foliaceae yield the fo l l ow i n g : ( C ap ri folieae (Diervilleae (Linnaeeae (Morinaceae (Dipsacaceae (Triplostegia,Valerianaceae)))))). On the basis of these results we provide phylogenetic definitions for the names of several major clades. Within Adoxaceae, Adoxina refers to the clade including Sinadoxa, Tetradoxa, and Adoxa.This lineage is marked by herbaceous habit, reduction in the number of perianth parts,nectaries of mul- ticellular hairs on the perianth,and bifid stamens. The clade including Morinaceae,Valerianaceae, Triplostegia, and Dipsacaceae is here named Valerina. Probable synapomorphies include herbaceousness,presence of an epi- calyx (lost or modified in Valerianaceae), reduced endosperm,and distinctive chemistry, including production of monoterpenoids. The clade containing Valerina plus Linnaeeae we name Linnina. This lineage is distinguished by reduction to four (or fewer) stamens, by abortion of two of the three carpels,and possibly by supernumerary inflorescences bracts.

Wetland Plants This Plant List Shows Many of the Common Species That Are Found in Wetlands and That Are Available from Nurseries on the Wetland Plant Suppliers List
Wetland Plants This plant list shows many of the common species that are found in wetlands and that are available from nurseries on the Wetland Plant Suppliers list. The wetland indicator status refers to how frequently a species is found in wetlands out of the range of habitats the species will grow in. The abbreviations for status in the table stand for: OBL - Obligate >99% occurrence in wetlands FACW - Facultative Wetland 66-99% occurrence in wetlands FAC - Facultative 33-66% occurrence in wetlands FACU - Facultative Upland 1-33% occurrence in wetlands A positive sign indicates a frequency toward the higher end of the category (more frequently found in wetlands), and a negative sign indicates a frequency toward the lower end of the category (less frequently found in wetlands). The wetland indicator status was found in the National List of Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1988 Maryland. The area of the state in which species occur commonly as natives are also shown. The following abbreviations refer to physiographic regions of the state: S - Statewide A - Allegheny Mountain Section (Garrett County) R - Ridge and Valley Section (Allegany, Washington, and western Frederick Counties) P - Piedmont Section (eastern Frederick, Carroll, Montgomery, Howard, northern and central Baltimore and Harford, and northern Cecil Counties) C - Coastal Plain Section (St. Mary's, Charles, Calvert, Prince George's, Anne Arundel, southern Baltimore, Harford, and Cecil, Kent, Queen Anne's, Talbot, Caroline, Dorchester, Wicomico, Somerset, and Worchester -

Rd. E, Vadnais Heights, MN 55127 Phone: (651) 204-6070 Email: [email protected] www.vlawmo.org Shoreline Vegetation Survey August 25, 2020 Background: Sucker Lake is located in Vadnais Heights, MN near the northern boundary of Ramsey County and in the Vadnais Lake Area Watershed Management Organization (VLAWMO) (Figure 1). The lake has a surface area of approximately 63 acres and a shoreline length of 2.12 miles (MNDNR, 2020). While there is limited data on native plant community classifications along the shoreline of Sucker Lake, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MNDNR) classified the adjacent areas west of Sucker Lake into five categories (Figure 2), which may potentially have an influence on the plant communities of the lake shoreline. Those five categories are Northern Mixed Cattail Marsh (MRn83), Black Ash-Yellow Birch-Red Maple-Alder Swamp (WFn64b), Alder-Maple-Loosestrife Swamp (FPn73a), Tamarack Swamp (FPs63a), and Willow-Dogwood Shrub Swamp (WMn82a) (MNDNR, 2014). Within the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service’s National Wetland Inventory (Cowardin Classification System), the Sucker Lake shoreline is predominantly classified as PEMF and PUBF (Cowardin et.
