  • Glamorgan Botany Group 2017 Excursion Report
    Glamorgan Botany Group 2017 Excursion Report With the end of the BSBI’s date-class inching closer, our six excursions this year all focused on 1km squares with precisely zero post-2000 records in the BSBI’s database, and over the course of our visits we recorded plants in 24 of these squares. As always, it is difficult to pick highlights, but April’s Ceratochloa carinata (California Brome) and September’s Juncus foliosus (Leafy Rush) certainly rank among the most significant discoveries... although those preferring plants with less ‘specialist appeal’ may have chosen the fine display of Dactylorhiza praetermissa (Southern Marsh Orchid) in June or the array of bog plants in July and September! Of course, we’re always sharing tips on plant identification, and this year provided plenty of opportunities to do that too – so if you want to get to know Glamorgan’s plants better, then keep an eye out for our 2018 excursion plan, which we’ll send round in February. David Barden, Karen Wilkinson and Julian Woodman Barry – Saturday 22 April On a bright, sunny, warm day, 10 botanists met to explore the open spaces in and around the old villages of Cadoxton and Merthyr Dyfan, now well within the urban area of Barry. Starting in a small area of grassland next to our meeting point, we found a few species of interest including Medicago arabica (Spotted Medick), Lactuca virosa (Great Lettuce), and Papaver lecoqii (Yellow-juiced Poppy, identified by its yellow sap). Moving into Victoria Park (shown on old maps as Cadoxton Common), we found a good range of species of short grassland, with pale- flowered Geranium molle (Dove’s-foot Cranesbill) resulting in an examination of the characteristics separating it from G.

    APPENDIX I Botany Biological Evaluation Biological Evaluation for Threatened, Endangered and Sensitive Plants and Fungi Page 1 of 35 for the Upper Truckee River Sunset Stables Restoration Project November 2009 UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE – FOREST SERVICE LAKE TAHOE BASIN MANAGEMENT UNIT Upper Truckee River Sunset Stables Restoration Project El Dorado County, CA Biological Evaluation for Threatened, Endangered and Sensitive Plants and Fungi PREPARED BY: ENTRIX, Inc. DATE: November 2009 APPROVED BY: DATE: _____________ Name, Forest Botanist, Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit SUMMARY OF EFFECTS DETERMINATION AND MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS AND/OR REQUIREMENTS One population of a special-status bryophyte, three-ranked hump-moss (Meesia triquetra), was observed in the survey area during surveys on June 30, 2008 and August 28, 2008. The proposed action will not affect the moss because the population is located outside the project area where no action is planned. The following species of invasive or noxious weeds were identified during surveys of the Project area: cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum); bullthistle (Cirsium vulgare); Klamathweed (Hypericum perforatum); oxe-eye daisy (Leucanthemum vulgare); and common mullein (Verbascum Thapsus). The threat posed by these weed populations would not increase if the proposed action is implemented. An inventory and assessment of invasive and noxious weeds in the survey area is presented in the Noxious Weed Risk Assessment for the Upper Truckee River Sunset Stables Restoration Project (ENTRIX 2009). Based on the description of the proposed action and the evaluation contained herein, we have determined the following: There would be no significant effect to plant species listed as threatened, endangered, proposed for listing, or candidates under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (ESA), administered by the U.S.

An analysis was made of which floral elements particular plant taxa belonged to, as well as an analysis of the life forms. In the vegetation cover of this area plants of the Eurasian floral element as well as European plants represent the major propor- tion. This shows that in the phytogeographical aspect this area belongs to the Eurosiberian- Northamerican region. According to life forms, vascular plants are distributed in the following numbers: H=650, T=355, G=148, P=209, Ch=70, Hy=33.

Native flowering plants Results • 95% of forbs produced significantly more seed under open pollination (Figure 1), though some differences are likely not biologically significant. • Only two forbs showed equal or greater seed production under “self” conditions; both were exotic. • The proportion of pollinator-dependent forbs does not differ Image 1.
