Clarke Director, Science Department Sir : I beg to communicate herewith my report on the work of the State Botanist for the fiscal year 1914. Very respectfully Homer D. House Acting State Botanist Noteworthy contributions. The most important addition to the State herbarium during the past year is the gift by Professor Charles S. Sheldon of Oswego, of his entire herbarium, numbering over 15,000 specimens. Professor Sheldon's collection contains specimens from every state of the union as well as from Mexico, Canada and several European countries. The New York State collections, made chiefly by Professor Sheldon between the years 1877 ^^'^^ i895» alone number 1020 specimens. A more detailed account of this collection will be found in another place. Mr Simon Davis of Brookline, Mass., presented the herbarium with a collection of 60 species of fungi native of the eastern United States. A large number of interesting flowering plants and fungi have also been received from Dr W. Haydon of Marshfield, Ore. Scientific investigations. The limited amount of time available for field work was spent chiefly in a reconnaissance of the vegeta- tion and its ecological relations, about the eastern end of Oneida lake, a region of extensive sandy barrens, swamps and bogs, in addition to the interesting vegetation of the shores and shallow 8 NEW YORK STATE MUSEUM waters. This study, it is hoped, will be brought to a close during the season of 191 5. Observations were also made upon the vegeta- tion of several of the sphagnum bogs of central New York. It is highly desirable that these observations be brought together in a formal way at some future time. New localities for certain rare species are reported under " Notes on Local Floras " and '' New or Interesting Species of Fungi." Exchanges. It has been found desirable to distribute as ex- changes many of the duplicate fungi and flowering plants of the herbarium, thus enriching our collections and making available much valuable space heretofore occupied by the stored material. Exchanges have been effected with Mr G. Newodowski of Kiev, Russia, from whom the herbarium has received a valuable collection of fungi, chiefly parasitic leaf forms, native of eastern Europe and the Russian Caucasus. From Brother Victorin, of Longueuil, Quebec, has been received in exchange a large collection of flower- ing plants representing the flora of our northern border. Condition of the collections. Further progress has been made in the arrangement of the herbarium and with minor exceptions the collections are now in permanent form. Although there is on hand considerable . material stored away in more or less inaccessible bundles, nevertheless practically all the valuable material has now been labeled and placed in proper sequence in the herbarium and thus made available for study. This has resulted in a great increase in the value of the herbarium for purposes of scientific research and is correspondingly appreciable to the numerous botanists who have had occasion ito consult the collections during the past year. Additions to the herbarium. The number of specimens of New York State species which have been added to the herbarium from current collections during the past year is 675, from con- tributions 336, from the Sheldon herbarium 1020; a total of 2031 specimens. Of the total number of specimens 'received, 112 were new to the herbarium and 19 species are described as new to science. The extralimital specimens of the Sheldon herbarium number 13,382. The number of those who have contributed specimens is 33. This includes those who have sent specimens merely for identification and which were desirable additions to the herbarium. Identifications. The number of identifications made of speci-' mens sent or brought to the office by inquirers is 556. The number of persons for whom these identifications were made was 151.

  • "National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary."
    Intro 1996 National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands The Fish and Wildlife Service has prepared a National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary (1996 National List). The 1996 National List is a draft revision of the National List of Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1988 National Summary (Reed 1988) (1988 National List). The 1996 National List is provided to encourage additional public review and comments on the draft regional wetland indicator assignments. The 1996 National List reflects a significant amount of new information that has become available since 1988 on the wetland affinity of vascular plants. This new information has resulted from the extensive use of the 1988 National List in the field by individuals involved in wetland and other resource inventories, wetland identification and delineation, and wetland research. Interim Regional Interagency Review Panel (Regional Panel) changes in indicator status as well as additions and deletions to the 1988 National List were documented in Regional supplements. The National List was originally developed as an appendix to the Classification of Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the United States (Cowardin et al.1979) to aid in the consistent application of this classification system for wetlands in the field.. The 1996 National List also was developed to aid in determining the presence of hydrophytic vegetation in the Clean Water Act Section 404 wetland regulatory program and in the implementation of the swampbuster provisions of the Food Security Act. While not required by law or regulation, the Fish and Wildlife Service is making the 1996 National List available for review and comment.

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.

  • Plant Rarity Under Federal and State Laws and Regulations
    Plant Rarity Under Federal and State Laws and Regulations Various government laws, regulations and policies protect rare plants. Probably the most surprising aspect of rare plant protection is that, unlike animals, plants are the property of the landowner whether that might be an individual, corporation, or government agency. This means that the protection of rare plants is under control of the landowner unless, in some cases, a government-regulated action is affecting them. Then the government entity regulating the action may require that protection efforts take place to preserve the rare plants and their habitat. Federal Law One of the results of the environmental movement of the 1960s and 70s was the enactment of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (https://www.fws.gov/endangered/laws-policies/index.html). The Act was designed to prevent the extinction of plants and animals, addressing problems of both exploitation and habitat destruction. The Act defines an endangered species as any species of animal or plant that is in danger of extinction over all or a significant portion of its range. A threatened species is defined as one that is likely to become endangered. The Act regulates the "taking" of endangered and threatened plants on federal land or when they are affected by federal actions or the use of federal funds. Specific protection is outlined in the Endangered Species Act of 1973 and states: It is unlawful for any person subject to the jurisdiction of the United States to: import any such species into, or export any such species

  • Jacob's-Ladder
    Jacob’s-ladder (Polemonium vanbruntiae) Phlox Family (Polemoniaceae) Pennsylvania Endangered Plant Species State Rank: S1 (critically imperiled) Global Rank: G3 (vulnerable) SIGNIFICANCE The Jacob’s-ladder has been given a status of Endangered on the Plants of Special Concern in Pennsylvania list by the Pennsylvania Biological Survey and the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, based on the relatively few populations that have been documented in the state. It is considered a globally rare species by the Natural Heritage Program. DESCRIPTION The Jacob’s-ladder is a perennial herb to three feet in height. The leaves are alternately arranged and divided into numerous leaflets with entire margins. The individual flowers, appearing in late June and early July, have blue petals and protruding stamens and style. The fruit is a many-seeded capsule. A more common and widespread species, Polemonium reptans, is similar but is smaller in size, has the stamens and style not protruding from the flower, has more of a woodland habitat, and blooms in spring. North American State/Province Conservation Status Map by NatureServe (August 2007) State/Province Status Ranks SX – presumed extirpated SH – possibly extirpated S1 – critically imperiled S2 – imperiled S3 – vulnerable S4 – apparently secure S5 – secure Not ranked/under review HABITAT The species grows in wet soil in woods, thickets and openings. RANGE The Jacob’s-ladder is found in northeastern North America from southern Canada to West Virginia. It is known historically from several widely scattered occurrences in Pennsylvania, although all of the currently known populations are in the northeastern part of the state. REFERENCES .

  • Chromosome Numbers in Compositae, XII: Heliantheae
    SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO BOTANY 0 NCTMBER 52 Chromosome Numbers in Compositae, XII: Heliantheae Harold Robinson, A. Michael Powell, Robert M. King, andJames F. Weedin SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION PRESS City of Washington 1981 ABSTRACT Robinson, Harold, A. Michael Powell, Robert M. King, and James F. Weedin. Chromosome Numbers in Compositae, XII: Heliantheae. Smithsonian Contri- butions to Botany, number 52, 28 pages, 3 tables, 1981.-Chromosome reports are provided for 145 populations, including first reports for 33 species and three genera, Garcilassa, Riencourtia, and Helianthopsis. Chromosome numbers are arranged according to Robinson’s recently broadened concept of the Heliantheae, with citations for 212 of the ca. 265 genera and 32 of the 35 subtribes. Diverse elements, including the Ambrosieae, typical Heliantheae, most Helenieae, the Tegeteae, and genera such as Arnica from the Senecioneae, are seen to share a specialized cytological history involving polyploid ancestry. The authors disagree with one another regarding the point at which such polyploidy occurred and on whether subtribes lacking higher numbers, such as the Galinsoginae, share the polyploid ancestry. Numerous examples of aneuploid decrease, secondary polyploidy, and some secondary aneuploid decreases are cited. The Marshalliinae are considered remote from other subtribes and close to the Inuleae. Evidence from related tribes favors an ultimate base of X = 10 for the Heliantheae and at least the subfamily As teroideae.
