  • Squarrose Sedge Carex Squarrosa
    Natural Heritage Squarrose Sedge & Endangered Species Carex squarrosa L. Program www.mass.gov/nhesp State Status: Threatened Federal Status: None Massachusetts Division of Fisheries & Wildlife GENERAL DESCRIPTION: Squarrose Sedge is a perennial, herbaceous, grass-like plant that grows in loose clumps up to 3 feet (0.9 m) in height. This species was recently rediscovered in Massachusetts. Squarrose Sedge is typically found within riparian habitats that have alluvial soils. The uppermost spikes are pistillate (ovule-bearing) flowers borne above staminate (pollen- bearing) flowers. The large, dense, reproductive spikes of Squarrose Sedge make this species rather distinctive from other members of the genus Carex. AIDS TO IDENTIFICATION: To positively identify the Squarrose Sedge and other members of the genus Carex, a technical manual should be consulted. Species in this genus have small unisexual wind-pollinated flowers that are borne in clusters or spikes. Each flower Photo by Brett Trowbridge is unisexual, and is closely subtended by small, flat scales. The staminate flowers are subtended by a single perigynium. The morphological characteristics of these flat scale (the staminate scale); the pistillate flowers are reproductive structures are important in identifying subtended by one flat scale (the pistillate scale) and are plants of the genus Carex. enclosed by a second sac-like modified scale, the perigynium (plural: perigynia). After flowering, the Squarrose Sedge is a large sedge that grows in tufts from achene (a dry, one-seeded fruit) develops within the short rhizomes. Its stout, leafy stems range in height from 1 to 3 ft. (0.3 to 0.9 m). The elongate leaves are 3 to 6 mm (1/8 to ¼ in.) in width.

  • "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.

  • Guide to the Flora of the Carolinas, Virginia, and Georgia, Working Draft of 17 March 2004 -- LILIACEAE
    Guide to the Flora of the Carolinas, Virginia, and Georgia, Working Draft of 17 March 2004 -- LILIACEAE LILIACEAE de Jussieu 1789 (Lily Family) (also see AGAVACEAE, ALLIACEAE, ALSTROEMERIACEAE, AMARYLLIDACEAE, ASPARAGACEAE, COLCHICACEAE, HEMEROCALLIDACEAE, HOSTACEAE, HYACINTHACEAE, HYPOXIDACEAE, MELANTHIACEAE, NARTHECIACEAE, RUSCACEAE, SMILACACEAE, THEMIDACEAE, TOFIELDIACEAE) As here interpreted narrowly, the Liliaceae constitutes about 11 genera and 550 species, of the Northern Hemisphere. There has been much recent investigation and re-interpretation of evidence regarding the upper-level taxonomy of the Liliales, with strong suggestions that the broad Liliaceae recognized by Cronquist (1981) is artificial and polyphyletic. Cronquist (1993) himself concurs, at least to a degree: "we still await a comprehensive reorganization of the lilies into several families more comparable to other recognized families of angiosperms." Dahlgren & Clifford (1982) and Dahlgren, Clifford, & Yeo (1985) synthesized an early phase in the modern revolution of monocot taxonomy. Since then, additional research, especially molecular (Duvall et al. 1993, Chase et al. 1993, Bogler & Simpson 1995, and many others), has strongly validated the general lines (and many details) of Dahlgren's arrangement. The most recent synthesis (Kubitzki 1998a) is followed as the basis for familial and generic taxonomy of the lilies and their relatives (see summary below). References: Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (1998, 2003); Tamura in Kubitzki (1998a). Our “liliaceous” genera (members of orders placed in the Lilianae) are therefore divided as shown below, largely following Kubitzki (1998a) and some more recent molecular analyses. ALISMATALES TOFIELDIACEAE: Pleea, Tofieldia. LILIALES ALSTROEMERIACEAE: Alstroemeria COLCHICACEAE: Colchicum, Uvularia. LILIACEAE: Clintonia, Erythronium, Lilium, Medeola, Prosartes, Streptopus, Tricyrtis, Tulipa. MELANTHIACEAE: Amianthium, Anticlea, Chamaelirium, Helonias, Melanthium, Schoenocaulon, Stenanthium, Veratrum, Toxicoscordion, Trillium, Xerophyllum, Zigadenus.

All rights reserved. 1058-5893/2016/17702-0003$15.00 DOI: 10.1086/684180 PRESENT-DAY GENETIC STRUCTURE OF THE HOLOPARASITE CONOPHOLIS AMERICANA (OROBANCHACEAE) IN EASTERN NORTH AMERICA AND THE LOCATION OF ITS REFUGIA DURING THE LAST GLACIAL CYCLE Anuar Rodrigues1,* and Saša Stefanović* *Department of Biology, University of Toronto, Mississauga, Ontario L5L 1C6, Canada Editor: Félix Forest Premise of research. Understanding how various organisms respond to previous changes in climate could provide insight into how they may respond or adapt to the current changes. Conopholis americana has a broad distribution across eastern North America, covering both previously glaciated and unglaciated regions. In this study, we investigated the postglacial history and phylogeographic structure of this parasitic plant spe- cies to characterize its genetic variation and structure and to identify the number and locations of refugia. Methodology. Molecular data from 10 microsatellite markers and DNA sequences from the plastid gene/ introns (clpP) were obtained for 281 individuals sampled from 75 populations spanning the current range of the species in eastern North America and analyzed using a variety of phylogeographic methods. Distribution modeling was carried out to determine regions with relatively suitable climate niches for populations at the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) and present. Pivotal results. We inferred the persistence of a minimum of two glacial refugia for C. americana at the LGM, one in north-central Florida and southern Alabama and another in the Appalachian Mountains near the southern tip of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

  • A List of Grasses and Grasslike Plants of the Oak Openings, Lucas County
    A LIST OF THE GRASSES AND GRASSLIKE PLANTS OF THE OAK OPENINGS, LUCAS COUNTY, OHIO1 NATHAN WILLIAM EASTERLY Department of Biology, Bowling Green State University, Bowling Green, Ohio 4-3403 ABSTRACT This report is the second of a series of articles to be prepared as a second "Flora of the Oak Openings." The study represents a comprehensive survey of members of the Cyperaceae, Gramineae, Juncaceae, Sparganiaceae, and Xyridaceae in the Oak Openings region. Of the 202 species listed in this study, 34 species reported by Moseley in 1928 were not found during the present investigation. Fifty-seven species found by the present investi- gator were not observed or reported by Moseley. Many of these species or varieties are rare and do not represent a stable part of the flora. Changes in species present or in fre- quency of occurrence of species collected by both Moseley and Easterly may be explained mainly by the alteration of habitats as the Oak Openings region becomes increasingly urbanized or suburbanized. Some species have increased in frequency on the floodplain of Swan Creek, in wet ditches and on the banks of the Norfolk and Western Railroad right-of-way, along newly constructed roadsides, or on dry sandy sites. INTRODUCTION The grass family ranks third among the large plant families of the world. The family ranks number one as far as total numbers of plants that cover fields, mead- ows, or roadsides are concerned.
