Reveal- Abstract.— The mustard family, Brassicaceae (Cruciferae) is revised for the state of Utah. Treated are 155 spe- cies and 44 varieties, including 37 species of introduced weeds or escaped cultivated plants. A key to the genera and species is included, along with detailed descriptions, distribution data, and pertinent comments for many of the taxa. Proposed new varieties are: Lepidium montanum Nutt. var. stellae Welsh & Reveal; L. montanum var. neeseae Welsh & Reveal; Lesquerella hemiphysaria Maguire var. liicens Welsh & Reveal; Physaria aciitifolia Rydb. var. purpurea Welsh & Reveal; and, Tfielypodhtm sagittatum (Nutt.) Endl. in Walp. var. vennicularis Welsh & Reveal. The following new combinations are made: Arabis confinis S. Wats. var. interposita (Greene) Welsh & Reveal; Descurainia pinnata (Walt.) Britt. var. paysonii (Detl.) Welsh & Reveal; D. richardsonii (Sweet) O. E. Schulz var. brevipes (Nutt.) Welsh & Reveal; Draba asprella Greene var. zionensis (C. L. Hitchc.)

NHESP is responsible for the conservation and protection of hundreds of species that are not hunted, fished, trapped, or commercially harvested in the state. The Program's highest priority is protecting the 176 species of vertebrate and invertebrate animals and 259 species of native plants that are officially listed as Endangered, Threatened or of Special Concern in Massachusetts. Endangered species conservation in Massachusetts depends on you! A major source of funding for the protection of rare and endangered species comes from voluntary donations on state income tax forms.

The treatments consisted of combinations of two rapeseed genotypes (Hyola 61 and Hyola 433), three pollination tests (uncovered area, covered area without insects and covered area containing a single colony of Africanized Apis mellifera honeybees) and two sowing dates (May 25th, 2011 and June 25th, 2011). The presence of Africanized honeybees during flowering time increased the productivity of the rapeseed.
