  • Reed Canary-Grass Marsh System
    Bluejoint – Reed Canary-grass Marsh System: Palustrine Subsystem: Herbaceous PA Ecological Group(s): Basin Wetland Global Rank: GNR State Rank: S5 General Description These marshes occur in a variety of landscape settings, from river backwaters to upland depressions. The most typical species are bluejoint (Calamagrostis canadensis var. canadensis) and reed canary-grass (Phalaris arundinacea). Associates vary widely, but commonly include mannagrass (Glyceria spp.), rice cutgrass (Leersia oryzoides), three-way sedge (Dulichium arundinaceum var. arundinaceum), Joe-Pye- weed (Eutrochium fistulosum, E. maculatum), common cat-tail (Typha latifolia), swamp dewberry (Rubus hispidus), wool-grass (Scirpus cyperinus) and other Scirpus spp. The invasive species, common reed (Phragmites australis ssp. australis), purple loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria), narrow-leaved cat-tail (Typha angustifolia) and Japanese knotweed (Fallopia japonica), are frequently a major problem in these systems. Rank Justification Common, widespread, and abundant in the jurisdiction. Identification Dominated by bluejoint (Calamagrostis canadensis var. canadensis) and co-dominated by reed canary-grass (Phalaris arundinacea) Soils are typically mineral soil or well-decomposed peat, with a thick root mat Water regime varies between temporarily and seasonally flooded Graminoid cover is typically dense Characteristic Species Herbs Canada bluejoint (Calamagrostis canadensis var. canadensis) Reed canary-grass (Phalaris arundinacea) Rice cutgrass (Leersia oryzoides) Three-way

  • The History and Eponymy of the Common Name Joe-Pye-Weed for Eutrochium Species (Asteraceae)
    2017 THE GREAT LAKES BOTANIST 177 JOE PYE, JOE PYE’S LAW, AND JOE-PYE-WEED: THE HISTORY AND EPONYMY OF THE COMMON NAME JOE-PYE-WEED FOR EUTROCHIUM SPECIES (ASTERACEAE) Richard B. Pearce James S. Pringle 1025½ 4th Street Royal Botanical Gardens Galena, Illinois 61036-2609, U.S.A. P.O. Box 399 [email protected] Hamilton, Ontario, Canada L8N 3H8 [email protected] ABSTRACT Published accounts have differed greatly with regard to the origin of the common name Joe-Pye- weed, which is applied to Eutrochium spp. (Asteraceae: Eupatorieae). Discrepancies have long ex - isted as to the race of the man for whom Joe-Pye-weed was named, the century and the part of the country in which he lived, and even whether the plant name was derived from the name of any per - son, real or fictional. Our investigation has indicated that this plant name is from the cognomen of Joseph Shauquethqueat, an 18th- and early 19th-century Mohican sachem, who lived successively in the Mohican communities at Stockbridge, Massachusetts, and New Stockbridge, New York. KEYwORDS : Eutrochium, common name, Joe-Pye-weed, Shauquethqueat INTRODUCTION The common name Joe-Pye-weed is applied collectively to a group of closely related North American species in the family Asteraceae, tribe Eupatorieae, his - torically included in Eupatorium L. but now generally segregated as Eutrochium Raf. , following studies by Schilling et al. (1999) and Lamont (2004). Several other vernacular names have been applied to these plants in the past, but, as noted by Borland (1964), the name Joe-Pye-weed is the only one that remains in common use.

  • MONARCH BUTTERFLY (Danaus Plexippus Plexippus)
    MONARCH BUTTERFLY (Danaus plexippus plexippus) Monarch butterfly, credit: Jim Hudgins, USFWS The monarch butterfly (Danuas plexippus plexippus) is a brush-footed butterfly with large, orange and black wings that uses open prairie, meadow, open woodland, gardens, and roadside habitat with suitable milkweed species for larvae and nectar plants for adults. This monarch butterfly subspecies is unique, however, in that its multi-generational migration life strategy necessitates widespread breeding and food resources at the right places at the right times (MAFWA 2018). Destruction and alteration of breeding, migrating, and wintering habitats, including loss of adult and larval food and places to live during critical stages of its life cycle, have reduced its range and abundance over the last 30 years. At one time, the monarch was common in most states east of the Rocky Mountains during the breeding season and gathered in large numbers on the wintering grounds in Mexico. Based on 20 years of wintering ground surveys, the eastern population has fallen from approximately one billion to fewer than 35 million monarchs, representing a decline of 97 percent from the 1997 high count and a 90 percent decline from the 20-year average (Rendon-Salinas and Tavera-Alonso 2014). Monarchs are considered vulnerable in Maryland (NatureServe 2019), a state that provides summertime breeding habitat. In 2014, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) was petitioned to protect the monarch butterfly under the Endangered Species Act. On December 15, 2020, the Service announced that listing the monarch as endangered or threatened is warranted, but precluded by listing of other species in greater need.
