  • 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.

Magrath Curator-USAO (OCLA) Herbarium Chickasha, OK 73018-5358 As of the publication of this paper Oklahoma is known to have orchids of 33 species in 18 genera, which compares to 20 species and 11 genera reported by Waterfall (1969). Four of the 33 species are possibly extinct in the state based on current survey work. The greatest concentration of orchid species is in the southeastern corner of the state (Atoka, Bryan, Choctaw, LeFlore, McCurtain and Pushmataha Counties). INTRODUCTION Since the time of Confucius (551-479 BCE) who mentioned lan in his writings, "acquaintance with The family Orchidaceae is the largest of the good men was like entering a room full of lan or families of flowering plants with somewhere between fragrant orchids" (Withner, 1959), orchids have been 25,000 and 35,000 species, with new species important in many facets of Chinese life including continually being described. There are also literature, painting, horticulture, and not least, numerous natural and artificial hybrids. The only medicine".

Brentwood Blvd. St. Louis, Missouri 63144 [email protected] JUSTIN R. THOMAS Institute of Botanical Training, LLC 111 County Road 3260 Salem, Missouri 65560 [email protected] ABSTRACT An annotated checklist of the 2,961 vascular taxa comprising the flora of Missouri is presented, with conservatism rankings for Floristic Quality Assessment. The list also provides standardized acronyms for each taxon and information on nativity, physiognomy, and wetness ratings. Annotated comments for selected taxa provide taxonomic, floristic, and ecological information, particularly for taxa not recognized in recent treatments of the Missouri flora. Synonymy crosswalks are provided for three references commonly used in Missouri. A discussion of the concept and application of Floristic Quality Assessment is presented. To accurately reflect ecological and taxonomic relationships, new combinations are validated for two distinct taxa, Dichanthelium ashei and D. werneri , and problems in application of infraspecific taxon names within Quercus shumardii are clarified.

  • Vascular Flora of The
    VASCULAR FLORA OF THE UPPER ETOWAH RIVER WATERSHED, GEORGIA by LISA MARIE KRUSE (Under the Direction of DAVID E. GIANNASI) ABSTRACT The Etowah River Basin in North Georgia is a biologically diverse Southern Appalachian River system, threatened by regional population growth. This is a two-part botanical study in the Upper Etowah watershed. The primary component is a survey of vascular flora. Habitats include riparian zones, lowland forest, tributary drainages, bluffs, and uplands. A total of 662 taxa were inventoried, and seventeen reference communities were described and mapped. Small streams, remote public land, and forested private land are important for plant conservation in this watershed. In the second component, cumulative plant species richness was sampled across six floodplain sites to estimate optimal widths for riparian buffer zones. To include 90% of floodplain species in a buffer, 60-75% of the floodplain width must be protected, depending on the stream size. Soil moisture influences species richness, and is dependent on upland water sources. An optimal buffer would protect hydrologic connections between floodplains and uplands.

S. Mid-Atlantic Coast MATTHEW C. PACE New York Botanical Garden, 2900 Southern Blvd., Bronx, New York, 10348, U. S. A. [email protected]; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2333-1924 Abstract Recognizing species diversity is challenging in genera that display interspecific similarity and intraspecific variation; hy- bridization and the evolution of cryptic hybrid species amplifies these challenges. Recent molecular and morphological research focused on the systematics of Spiranthes (Orchidaceae) support hybrid speciation as an important driver of species diversity, particularly within the S. cernua species complex. Working under an integrated history-bound phylogenetic spe- cies concept, new molecular and morphometric data provide evidence for a new and rare cryptic hybrid species resulting from the ancient hybridization of S. cernua × S. odorata, here described as S. bightensis. Although S. bightensis is regionally sympatric with S. cernua it does not co-occur with that species, and it is allopatric with respect to S. odorata. Endemic to a narrow region extending from the Delmarva Peninsula to Long Island, New York, this new species occurs in the shadow of the Northeast megalopolis and appears to have undergone a major population decline over the last 200 years. By recognizing this distinct evolutionary lineage as a new species, this research is the first step towards developing conservation protocols for this rare species and highlights the importance of the North American Geologic Coastal Plain for biodiversity conserva- tion and evolution.

    A Floristic Survey of the Yellow Birch Ravine Nature Preserve, Crawford County, Indiana 2 George Yatskievych 1 and Kay McCrary Yatskievych Department of Biology Indiana University Bloomington, Indiana 47405 Introduction The Crawford Upland Section of the Shawnee Hills Natural Region in unglaciated southern Indiana (4) is characterized by scenic topography, with numerous deep ravines and massive sandstone outcrops. The Yellow Birch Ravine Preserve in Crawford Coun- ty is one of the finest examples of this natural region in the state. The site has long been of interest to botanists, but no comprehensive floristic inventory has previously been attempted for the area. Our purpose in studying the flora of this preserve was to both survey the vascular plant species presently growing there and examine the floristic changes that may have taken place during the last 40 years of changing vegetation and human impact. Physical Setting Yellow Birch Ravine is situated just south and east of the town of Taswell, in Crawford County and occupies portions of sections 19, 20, and 30 in T2S R1W. The 440 acre preserve is bisected by the graded road that runs north from nearby Mifflin to State Highway 64. The outstanding geological feature of the property is a massive series of nearly continuous bluffs formed by outcrops of Pennsylvanian age sandstone bedrock. Limestone outcrops from formations underlying this sandstone are extremely restricted and are found only in a few streambed areas, where water flow has exposed them slightly. Soils on the steep, easily eroded slopes and tops belong to the Wellston- Gilpin-Zanesville-Berks Association of well-drained medium-textured soils that are characteristic of this region (4, 7), while the Haymond silt-loam of the drainage bottoms (7) tends to be somewhat finer and less well drained.

WAYNE BARGER 1State Lands Division, Natural Heritage Section, Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, 64 North Union Street Montgomery, Alabama 36130 *Correspondence : Brian D. Holt ([email protected]) ABSTRACT The Shoal Creek Preserve Forever Wild Tract (SCPFWT) is a 123 ha property acquired by Alabama’s Forever Wild Land Program on February 26, 2003. The SCPFWT lies 13 km north-northeast of Florence, Alabama, 46 km southeast of Lawrenceburg, Tennessee, and is bordered for a short distance on the east by Shoal Creek. The site is managed by the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources for habitat conservation, outdoor recreation, and education. An intensive floristic study of this area was conducted from May 2009 through May 2011 and less frequently through June 2015. A total of 519 taxa from 346 genera and 121 families were collected, with 217 taxa representing county records. Asteraceae was the most collected family, with 69 species; Poaceae, Fabaceae, and Cyperaceae were the next largest families with 38, 29, and 17 species, respectively. Carex was the largest genus represented with 11 species. 71 non-native taxa were collected during the surveys. 42 percent of the total collections were county records and 37 exotic taxa collected during this survey were county records.
