  • Checklist Flora of the Former Carden Township, City of Kawartha Lakes, on 2016
    Hairy Beardtongue (Penstemon hirsutus) Checklist Flora of the Former Carden Township, City of Kawartha Lakes, ON 2016 Compiled by Dale Leadbeater and Anne Barbour © 2016 Leadbeater and Barbour All Rights reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system or database, or transmitted in any form or by any means, including photocopying, without written permission of the authors. Produced with financial assistance from The Couchiching Conservancy. The City of Kawartha Lakes Flora Project is sponsored by the Kawartha Field Naturalists based in Fenelon Falls, Ontario. In 2008, information about plants in CKL was scattered and scarce. At the urging of Michael Oldham, Biologist at the Natural Heritage Information Centre at the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry, Dale Leadbeater and Anne Barbour formed a committee with goals to: • Generate a list of species found in CKL and their distribution, vouchered by specimens to be housed at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto, making them available for future study by the scientific community; • Improve understanding of natural heritage systems in the CKL; • Provide insight into changes in the local plant communities as a result of pressures from introduced species, climate change and population growth; and, • Publish the findings of the project . Over eight years, more than 200 volunteers and landowners collected almost 2000 voucher specimens, with the permission of landowners. Over 10,000 observations and literature records have been databased. The project has documented 150 new species of which 60 are introduced, 90 are native and one species that had never been reported in Ontario to date.

  • Rosa Palustris Marshall Common Names: Swamp Rose, Marsh Rose (1,11)
    Rosa palustris Marshall Common Names: Swamp rose, marsh rose (1,11). Etymology: Rosa is the Latin word for ‘rose’, and palustris means ‘of marshes’ (8,9), indicating the species preference for wet habitats. Botanical synonyms (4): Rosa floridana Rydb. Rosa lancifolia Small FAMILY: Rosaceae (the Rose family) Quick Notable Features (1,6,9): ¬ Hispid-glandular pink flowers ¬ Infrastipular prickles are hooked & broad-based ¬ Arching or erect armed stems with alternate leaves & 5-9 leaflets with finely serrate margins ¬ Stipules are mostly adnate, revolute, with divergent apices, with margins entire Plant Height: R. palustris is capable of climbing 2-3 meters high (C.V.S., pers. obs.). Subspecies/varieties recognized (3): R. palustris var. aculeata (Schuette) Erlanson R. palustris var. dasistema (Raf.) E.J. Palmer & Steyerm. R. palustris var. inermis (Regel) Erlanson Most Likely Confused with: Rosa multiflora, R. canina, R. carolina, R. virginiana, R. setigera, Rubus ssp. especially Rubus odoratus, and Hibiscus moscheutos (rose mallow) Habitat Preference: The swamp rose prefers moist to wet habitats: wetlands, riparian zones, swales, and ponds edges. It thrives in full or partial sun (1,4). The habitat specificity is very helpful when identifying this species. Geographic Distribution in Michigan: R. palustris is common throughout the state, found in 68 of 83 counties. The counties with no record for the species are Saginaw, Isabella, Osceola, Gladwin, Arenac, Missaukee, Iosco, Crawford, Oscoda, Alcona, Montmorency, Alpena, Dickinson, Iron, and Gogebic (1). 1 Known Elevational Distribution: In Reynolds, MO, the swamp rose is found up to 317m above sea level (3). Complete Geographic Distribution: Native to North America.

Recommended Citation: Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control. 2018. The Delaware Wetland Plant Field Guide. Dover, Delaware, USA. 146pp. 2 to this illustrated guide of the most common wetland plants found in Delaware. All wetlands have 3 characteristics: 1. Water at or near the surface for some part of the year 2. Hydrophytic plants, which are specially adapted to living in wet conditions 3. Hydric soils, which are soils that are permanently or seasonally soaked in water, resulting in oxygen deprivation If you have water on the area of interest for at least some part of the year, the next step in determining if you’re in a wetland is to take a look at the plants.

  • Terrestrial & Palustrine Plant Communities of Pennsylvania 2Nd
    Terrestrial & Palustrine Plant Communities of Pennsylvania 2nd Ed. Section 2 Palustrine Communities Palustrine Forests Coniferous Palustrine Forests Black Spruce – Tamarack Palustrine Woodland System: Palustrine Subsystem: Woodland PA Ecological Group(s): Basin Wetland Global Rank: G3G5 State Rank: S2 General Description This describes a group of wetland woodlands found mostly in glacially formed, ice-block depressions (kettleholes) of small, higher-elevation watersheds of the glaciated regions of Pennsylvania and in cold- air pockets of drainages at higher elevations of the Unglaciated Allegheny Plateau. These wetlands are dominated by a mixture of black spruce (Picea mariana) and tamarack (Larix laricina). These are trees of short stature (<30 feet) growing as a sparse overstory (<40% cover). The substrate consists of deep, poorly decomposed peat. The woodland is often found interior (i.e., closer to the middle of the wetland) to the Black Spruce-Tamarack Peatland Forest and on the edge of the low-shrub bog. There is generally very little groundwater or surface water enrichment in these systems, resulting in nutrient stressed, stunted trees. Other trees that may occur include gray birch (Betula populifolia) and red maple (Acer rubrum). The sparse woodland gives way to tall black spruce and tamarack (Black Spruce – Tamarack Peatland Forest) away from the bog mat and this peatland forest gives way to a fringe of hemlock and other tall trees at the outer edge of the wetland where organic soils thin and become mineral.

  • Appendices I Through VIII
    APPENDIX I: Standards for Ecological Classification A given terrestrial ecological system is defined as a group of plant community types that tend to co-occur within landscapes with similar ecological processes, substrates, and/or environmental gradients. A given terrestrial ecological system will typically manifest itself in a landscape at intermediate geographic scales of 10s to 1,000s of hectares and persist for 50 or more years. Ecological processes include natural disturbances such as fire and flooding. Substrates may include a variety of soil surface and bedrock features, such as shallow soils, alkaline parent materials, sandy/gravelling soils, or peatlands. Finally, environmental gradients include hydrologically defined patterns in coastal zones, arid grassland or desert areas, or montane, alpine or subalpine zones defined by climate. By plant community type, we mean a vegetation classification unit at the association or alliance level of the US National Vegetation Classification (US-NVC) (Grossman et al. 1998, Jennings et al. 2003, NatureServe 2004), or, if these are not available, other comparable vegetation units. US-NVC associations are used wherever possible to describe the component biotic communities of each terrestrial system. Ecological systems are defined using both spatial and temporal criteria that influence the grouping of associations. Associations that consistently co-occur on the landscape therefore define biotic components of each ecological system type. Our approach to ecological systems definition using US-NVC associations is similar to the biotope or habitat approach used, for example, by the EUNIS habitat classification, which explicitly links meso-scale habitat units to European Vegetation Survey alliance units (Rodwell et al. 2002).

  • SC Coastal Native Plant List
    Native Plant List for Coastal South Carolina This list of plants is composed only of plants native to the coastal plain of South Carolina, and was developed for Dewees Island. The plants are therefore somewhat tolerant of salty or brackish conditions and may not include all plants that would be appropriate for freshwater riparian areas. As native plants they require less water, fertilizer, and pesticides than non-native plants when planted in the appropriate locations.

  • John Lawson's Plant Collections, Virginia and North Carolina 1710-1711
    Blackwell, A.H., P.D. McMillan, and C.W. Blackwell. 2014. John Lawson’s plant collections, Virginia and North Carolina 1710- 1711. Phytoneuron 2014-94: 1–23. JOHN LAWSON’S PLANT COLLECTIONS, VIRGINIA AND NORTH CAROLINA 1710-1711 AMY HACKNEY BLACKWELL Department of Biology Furman University Greenville, South Carolina 29613 and School of Agriculture, Forestry, and Environmental Sciences Clemson University Clemson, South Carolina 29634 PATRICK D. MCMILLAN School of Agriculture, Forestry, and the Environment Clemson University Clemson, South Carolina 29634 CHRISTOPHER W. BLACKWELL Department of Classics Furman University Greenville, South Carolina 29613 ABSTRACT John Lawson, surveyor-general of Carolina, published a well-known travelogue and natural history called A New Voyage to Carolina in 1710. He also sent numerous herbarium specimens to James Petiver in London. Petiver’s collections ended up in Hans Sloane’s herbarium, where they are now part of the Sloane Herbarium in the Natural History Museum, London. We have digitally photographed these specimens and placed them online as part of the Botanica Caroliniana project. Here we present determination of the taxa in Lawson’s collections along with observations on Lawson’s movements and other work. John Lawson was one of the great early explorers of North America. Between 1700 and 1711 he visited and mapped a good portion of the colony then called Carolina, staying with Indians and watching his colleagues’ exploits with amusement. He turned this experience into both a good job –– surveyor-general of Carolina –– and a bestselling 1710 travel memoir, A New Voyage to Carolina . He even died a glamorous –– albeit unpleasant –– death, captured and executed by Indians.
