  • Mississippi Natural Heritage Program Special Plants - Tracking List -2018
    MISSISSIPPI NATURAL HERITAGE PROGRAM SPECIAL PLANTS - TRACKING LIST -2018- Approximately 3300 species of vascular plants (fern, gymnosperms, and angiosperms), and numerous non-vascular plants may be found in Mississippi. Many of these are quite common. Some, however, are known or suspected to occur in low numbers; these are designated as species of special concern, and are listed below. There are 495 special concern plants, which include 4 non- vascular plants, 28 ferns and fern allies, 4 gymnosperms, and 459 angiosperms 244 dicots and 215 monocots. An additional 100 species are designated “watch” status (see “Special Plants - Watch List”) with the potential of becoming species of special concern and include 2 fern and fern allies, 54 dicots and 44 monocots. This list is designated for the primary purposes of : 1) in environmental assessments, “flagging” of sensitive species that may be negatively affected by proposed actions; 2) determination of protection priorities of natural areas that contain such species; and 3) determination of priorities of inventory and protection for these plants, including the proposed listing of species for federal protection.

There are now 97 native and 24 naturalized fern taxa known and documented in the Arkansas fern flora. The total Arkansas fern flora is now 121 taxa documented with 3019 county-level occurrence records. Noteworthy update records and comments are reported for 79 of 97 Arkansas native species and 25 Arkansas naturalized species. KEY WORDS : Arkansas, ferns, county distribution Over the last 30 years, studies have been conducted to document the diversity and abundance of the Arkansas fern [pteridophyte] flora.

  • Cutting Back Ferns – the Art of Fern Maintenance Richie Steffen
    Cutting Back Ferns – The Art of Fern Maintenance Richie Steffen When I am speaking about ferns, I am often asked about cutting back ferns. All too frequently, and with little thought, I give the quick and easy answer to cut them back in late winter or early spring, except for the ones that don’t like that. This generally leads to the much more difficult question, “Which ones are those?” This exposes the difficulties of trying to apply one cultural practice to a complicated group of plants that link together a possible 12,000 species. There is no one size fits all rule of thumb. First of all, cutting back your ferns is purely for aesthetics. Ferns have managed for millions of years without being cut back by someone. This means that for ferns you may not be familiar with, it is fine to not cut them back and wait to see how they react to your growing conditions and climate. There are three factors to consider when cutting back ferns: 1. Is your fern evergreen, semi-evergreen, winter-green or deciduous? Deciduous ferns are relatively easy to decide whether to cut back – when they start to yellow and brown in the autumn, cut them to the ground. Some deciduous ferns have very thin fronds and finely divided foliage that may not even need to be cut back in the winter. A light layer of mulch may be enough to cover the old, withered fronds, and they can decay in place. Semi-evergreen types are also relatively easy to manage.

    68 Oklahoma Native Plant Record Volume 1, Number 1, December 2001 CHECKLIST OF THE FERNS, NATURAL FALLS STATE PARK Bruce A. Smith Biology Instructor, McLoud High School McLoud, OK 74851 Natural Falls State Park, formerly known as Dripping Springs is located in northeast Oklahoma. The park’s natural beauty and flora have attracted visitors since 1907. In a 1988 visit to the Oklahoma State University Herbarium, I noticed that several herbarium sheets of ferns were collected from Dripping Springs. This was intriguing and made me want to visit the area. Due to my interest in floristics and taxonomy, Natural Falls State Park seemed the perfect place to create a checklist of ferns. Thus, the objective of this study was to create an inventory of the ferns of Dripping Springs using my collection and the collections and observations from earlier botanists. A systematic collection of the ferns of Dripping Springs was conducted on August 7, 1998, October 15, 1998, and October 20, 2001. Using standard taxonomic methods, each plant was identified to species and subsequently inventoried. In three days of collecting, 17 species from 6 families and 12 genera were encountered. Since 1925 a total of 19 species from 6 families and 12 genera have been reported to occur. INTRODUCTION State Park seemed to be the perfect place to create a checklist of ferns. Thus, the objective of this study Natural Falls State Park, formerly known was to create an inventory of the ferns of Dripping as Dripping Springs is located in northeast Springs by using my collection and the collections Oklahoma.

  • The Vascular Flora of the Natchez Trace Parkway
    THE VASCULAR FLORA OF THE NATCHEZ TRACE PARKWAY (Franklin, Tennessee to Natchez, Mississippi) Results of a Floristic Inventory August 2004 - August 2006 © Dale A. Kruse, 2007 © Dale A. Kruse 2007 DATE SUBMITTED 28 February 2008 PRINCIPLE INVESTIGATORS Stephan L. Hatch Dale A. Kruse S. M. Tracy Herbarium (TAES), Texas A & M University 2138 TAMU, College Station, Texas 77843-2138 SUBMITTED TO Gulf Coast Inventory and Monitoring Network Lafayette, Louisiana CONTRACT NUMBER J2115040013 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The “Natchez Trace” has played an important role in transportation, trade, and communication in the region since pre-historic times. As the development and use of steamboats along the Mississippi River increased, travel on the Trace diminished and the route began to be reclaimed by nature. A renewed interest in the Trace began during, and following, the Great Depression. In the early 1930’s, then Mississippi congressman T. J. Busby promoted interest in the Trace from a historical perspective and also as an opportunity for employment in the area. Legislation was introduced by Busby to conduct a survey of the Trace and in 1936 actual construction of the modern roadway began. Development of the present Natchez Trace Parkway (NATR) which follows portions of the original route has continued since that time. The last segment of the NATR was completed in 2005. The federal lands that comprise the modern route total about 52,000 acres in 25 counties through the states of Alabama, Mississippi, and Tennessee. The route, about 445 miles long, is a manicured parkway with numerous associated rest stops, parks, and monuments. Current land use along the NATR includes upland forest, mesic prairie, wetland prairie, forested wetlands, interspersed with numerous small agricultural croplands.
