One-Flowered Pyrola Moneses Uniflora
Natural Heritage One-flowered Pyrola & Endangered Species Moneses uniflora (Linnaeus) A. Gray Program www.mass.gov/nhesp State Status: Special Concern Massachusetts Division of Fisheries & Wildlife Federal Status: None DESCRIPTION: One-flowered Pyrola is a small, 3–10 cm tall, evergreen, herbaceous perennial in the family Ericaceae (Heath Family). As its name implies, it has one, waxy, creamy-white flower that blooms in June and July. It is borne on a stalk above one to four whorls of basal leaves. The flowers are fragrant and attract pollinating bumblebees. Plants grow from horizontal roots in a clonal group in cool, mesic shade in pine woodlands or bogs, in litter or on mossy banks. One-flowered Pyrola is mycoheterotrophic (dependent or parasitic on host fungi for nutrients) during seed germination and seedling development (Johnson 2014) Seedlings remain underground for several years before forming above-ground basal leaves and then become autotrophic (nutrients synthesized using energy from Photo by William Moorhead photosynthesis) (Johnson et al. 2015) AIDS TO IDENTIFICATION: One-flowered Pyrola is erect marginal lobes, and ten anthers. Leaves are sub- fairly easy to identify. The single, nodding, rotate orbicular, 1–2 cm (1/2 to 1 in.), glossy green on the (radially symmetrical) flower is 1.5–2.5 cm (3/4 to 1 in.) upper-side and dull green on the underside with slightly across. It has five petals that are 8–12 x 4–8 mm (3/8" x dentate-crenate (rounded teeth) margins. Fruit is a sub- ¼") with minute teeth on the margins, a stigma with five orbicular capsule approximately 4–8 x 5–9 mm (¼" x ¼") which is borne upright and opens from the top down with approximately 1000 dust (minute) seeds.

Population structure and distribution of the declining endangered forest plant Chimaphila umbellata by Anna Lundell Plants & Ecology The Department of Ecology, 2014/1 Environment and Plant Sciences Stockholm University Population structure and distribution of the declining endangared forest plant Chimaphila umbellata by Anna Lundell Supervisors: Ove Eriksson & Sara Cousins Plants & Ecology The Department of Ecology, 2014/1 Environment and Plant Sciences Stockholm University Plants & Ecology The Department of Ecology, Environment and Plant Sciences Stockholm University S-106 91 Stockholm Sweden © The Department of Ecology, Environment and Plant Sciences ISSN 1651-9248 Printed by FMV Printcenter Cover: Flowering Chimaphila umbellata. Photo by Margareta Edqvist. Summary The occurrence of the rare forest plant Chimaphila umbellata has decreased with approximately 80 % in Uppland and its decline is also reported for other regions in Sweden. Suggested causes of decline include the increasingly shaded conditions in understory habitats and increased competition from Vaccinium myrtillus and graminoid species. The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of various biotic and abiotic conditions on C. umbellata populations with regard to population size, flowering frequency, fruit set and seed production. Conditions analyzed include light inflow, coverage of competitive species, soil nitrogen, continuity of forest cover and soil texture, which were investigated in 38 C. umbellata sites in Uppland and Södermanland, Sweden. Results showed that population size was negatively affected by the coverage of competitive species. Population size was not affected by light availability, but increased shading resulted in a decreased flowering frequency. Fruit set decreased with increasing coverage of competitive species and seed production per capsule decreased with increasing soil nitrogen content.

TAXONOMY Plant Family Scientific Name ERICACEAE or PYROLACEAE (3) Common Name Heath Family or Shinleaf / Wintergreen Family (3) Species Scientific Name Scientific Name Pyrola Picta Smith Varieties NONE RECOGNIZED BY USDA SEE BELOW, “Sub-species” Sub-species & Species No Subspecies are universally recognized. Complex It is important to note that current literature supports the concept that Pyrola picta is a species complex within the Pyroleae that is believed to be composed of 3 (and now 4) taxa within a single species. All 4 taxa were originally described by Smith in 1814, and research by Haber in 1984 has classified them as a complex within Pyrola picta.(8), although this is still debated. The three that are recognized repeatedly within the literature are Pyrola picta, Pyrola aphylla, and Pyrola dentata. These morphotypes of the Pyrola picta complex have been inconsistently listed within the literature as “varieties”, “forms”, “subspecies”, or distinct species (particularly in the case of Pyrola dentata). (2) The debate around differentiation of species largely is based on morphological variation in leaf form, particularly variations in size, veination, and the presence (or lack of) apparent above ground leaves.

Baker Approved by the Master's Thesis Corrunittee V~+J~.Jr, Chairman ~;'J.~''c \. (l .:, r---- (I'. J~!-\ Approved by the Graduate Dean ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS An ethnobotanical study necessitates the cooperation of individuals who among themselves have a wide range of diverse interests. Dr. James Payne Smith, Jr., Professor of Botany was the chief coordinator of this unity as well as my princi- pal advisor and editor. Most of the botanical related prob- lems and many grammatical questions were discussed with him. Torn Nelson, Herbarium Assistant of the HSU Herbarium, aided in the identification of many plant specimens. Dr. Jim Waters, Professor of Zoology, dealt with cor- rections concerning his field, and discerningly and meticu- lously proofread the entire text. From the formal field of ethnology, Dr. Pat Wenger, Professor of Anthropolo~y, worked with me on problems in linguistics, phonetics, and other aspects of ethnography. He also discussed with me many definitions, theories, and atti- tudes of modern ethnologists. The field work would not have been possible without the help of Torn Parsons, Director of the Center for Community Development, Arcata, California. Mr. Parsons has been work- ing with the Tolowa, Karok, and Yurok for many years and was able to introduce me to reliable and authentic sources of cultural information.
