    Staff Assessment Report APP203667: an Application to Import

    EPA advice for APP203667 Staff Assessment Report APP203667: An application to import and release the moth plant beetle (Freudeita confer cupripennis) as a biological control agent for the weed moth plant (Araujia hortorum). Purpose An application to import and release the moth plant beetle, Freudeita cf. cupripennis, as a biological control agent for the weed moth plant, Araujia hortorum Application number APP203667 Application type Notified, Full Release Applicant Waikato Regional Council Date formally received 17 January 2019 1 EPA advice for APP203667 Executive Summary and Recommendation In January 2019, Waikato Regional Council submitted an application to the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) seeking pre-approval to release the moth plant beetle, Freudeita cf. cupripennis, as a biological control agent (BCA) for the weed moth plant, Araujia hortorum. The application was publicly notified. The EPA received 53 submissions, 23 submissions supported the application, four submissions neither supported nor opposed and 26 submissions opposed the application. The EPA assessed the risks, costs and benefits of the release of F. cf. cupripennis in the context of the environment, market economy, people and communities, public health and on the relationship of Māori and their culture and traditions with their ancestral lands, water, sites, wāhi tapu, valued flora and fauna, and other taonga. The EPA assessed that there are no direct or tangible risks to public health from the release of the moth plant beetle and this was not considered in the assessment. Regarding the environment, we assessed the benefits from the release of the moth plant beetle and found that the BCA is unlikely to reduce the use of chemicals since only a small quantity of herbicide gel is used and that broad spectrum-herbicides would continue to be used to treat other weeds.
  • Ecology and Pest Status of Moth Plant, Araujia Hortorum Fournier

    Ecology and Pest Status of Moth Plant, Araujia Hortorum Fournier

    Ecology and pest status of moth plant, Araujia hortorum Fournier Richard Hill and Hugh Gourlay Richard Hill & Associates, Private Bag 4704, Christchurch 8140, [email protected] and Landcare Research, PO Box 40, Lincoln 7640 This report reviews our knowledge of the biology and ecology of moth plant (Araujia hortorum Fournier) both in its home range and its exotic range. It summarises the weed status of moth plant and the current approach to weed management in New Zealand, and how the biological control programme fits with those strategies. Biology and ecology of moth plant Taxonomy Araujia hortorum Fourn. belongs to the tribe Asclepiadeae of the Family Apocynaceae. This family belongs to the Order Gentianales. Amongst others, the name A. sericifera has also been used for moth plant in the past in New Zealand (Winks and Fowler 2000), but A. hortorum is now the preferred scientific name (Waipara et al. 2006, Champion et al. 2010). Native range Araujia hortorum is native to SE Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay (Flora Europaea). Exotic range Elsewhere in the world it is a garden escape, and has become naturalised in Europe, Turkey (Altinozlu and Donmez 2003), Africa (Henderson 2001), and North America, and elsewhere in South America (Winks and Fowler 2000). In Australia it is present in all temperate states. It is common in coastal New South Wales and SE Queensland and is regarded as a minor weed there (DAF 2014sed 2011, PIER accessed 2011). New Zealand distribution Araujia hortorum was first recorded in New Zealand in 1888 (Webb et al. 1988), and was originally introduced as an ornamental.

Madrid-Barcelona s/n, E28805 Alcalá de Henares, Madrid, España. ∗ Corresponding author: [email protected] 2 Received: 31/10/16 Accepted: 10/03/17 ABSTRACT Effects of non-native riparian plants in riparian and fluvial ecosystems: a review for the Iberian Peninsula Riparian zones are among the natural habitats more prone to be invaded by exotic plants. In this study we review the causes and consequences of these invasions on fluvial and riparian ecosystems, as well as the effects described for the Iberian Peninsula so far. Riparian zones receive a high propagule pressure of exotic plants, their abiotic conditions are benign for plant life, and their biotic resistance from native vegetation is released by natural (floods) and anthropic (hydrological changes) disturbances. The convergence of these factors explains the high invasion rate of riparian zones. An eventual replacement of native by non- native vegetation might alter the fire regime, the depth of the water table, nutrient cycles and organic matter processing, soil properties, communities of detritivore invertebrates and vertebrates dwelling in rivers and riparian zones. In the Iberian Peninsula we found that the effects of non-native riparian plants were more often negative (e.g. alteration of the structure and activity of microbial communities) than neutral (e.g.

The presence of new alien plant species in Italy is increasing every day. Calabria, its southernmost region, is not yet well known with regard to this aspect. Thanks to fieldwork, sampling, and observing many exotic plants in Calabria, here, we report new data on 34 alien taxa. In particular, we found three new taxa for Europe (Cascabela thevetia, Ipomoea setosa subsp. pavonii, and Tecoma stans), three new for Italy (Brugmansia aurea, Narcissus ‘Cotinga’, and Narcissus ‘Erlicheer’), one new one for the Italian Peninsula (Luffa aegyptiaca), and 21 new taxa for Calabria (Allium cepa, Asparagus setaceus, Bassia scoparia, Beta vulgaris subsp.

A noxious weed is “any plant or plant product that can directly or indirectly injure or cause damage to crops (including nursery stock or plant products), livestock, poultry, or other interests of agriculture, irrigation, navigation, the natural resources of the United States, the public health, or the environment” (7 U.S.C. § 7701-7786, 2000). We use weed risk assessment (WRA) —specifically, the PPQ WRA model1—to evaluate the risk potential of plants, including those newly detected in the United States, those proposed for import, and those emerging as weeds elsewhere in the world. Because our WRA model is geographically and climatically neutral, it can be used to evaluate the baseline invasive/weed potential of any plant species for the entire United States or any area within it.

    Lianas and Climbing Plants of the Neotropics: Apocynaceae

    GUIDE TO THE GENERA OF LIANAS AND CLIMBING PLANTS IN THE NEOTROPICS APOCYNACEAE By Gilberto Morillo & Sigrid Liede-Schumann1 (Mar 2021) A pantropical family of trees, shrubs, lianas, and herbs, generally found below 2,500 m elevation with a few species reaching 4,500 m. Represented in the Neotropics by about 100 genera and 1600 species of which 80 genera and about 1350 species are twining vines, lianas or facultative climbing subshrubs; found in diverse habitats, such as rain, moist, gallery, montane, premontane and seasonally dry forests, savannas, scrubs, Páramos and Punas. Diagnostics: Twiners with simple, opposite or verticillate leaves. Climbing sterile Apocynaceae are distinguished Mandevilla hirsuta (Rich.) K. Schum., photo by from climbers in other families by the P. Acevedo presence of copious milky latex; colleters in the nodes and/or the adaxial base of leaf blades and/or petioles, sometimes 1 Subfamilies Apocynoideae and Ravolfioideae by G. Morillo; Asclepiadoideae and Periplocoideae by G. Morillo and S. Liede-Schumann. with minute, caducous stipules (in species of Odontadenia and Temnadenia); stems mostly cylindrical, often lenticellate or suberized, simple or less often with successive cambia and a prominent pericycle defined by a ring of white fibers usually organized into bundles. Trichomes, when present, are glandular and unbranched, most genera of Gonolobinae (subfam. Asclepiadoideae) have a mixture of glandular, capitate and eglandular trichomes. General Characters 1. STEMS. Stems woody or less often herbaceous, 0.2 to 15 cm in diameter and up to 40 m in length; cylindrical (fig. 1a, d˗f) or nearly so, nodes sometimes flattened in young branches; nearly always with intraxylematic phloem either as a continuous ring or as separate bundles in the periphery of the medulla (Metcalfe & Chalk, 1957); vascular system with regular anatomy, (fig.
