Red root floater plants covering a backwater area of the Peace River. Figure 2. Close-up showing red root floater plant growing in damp soil. By Michael Sowinski In August 2010, Dr. George Wilder from the Naples Botanical Garden in Naples, Florida, discovered red root floater (Phyllanthus fluitans) growing in a canal attached to the Peace River in Desoto County west of Fort Ogden, and reported his findings to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC). Since the initial discovery, FWC biologist Michael Sowinski, along with the Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD), found individual plants to large populations (Figure 1) of the small floating plant scattered along roughly thirty-one river miles of the Peace River. Some highlights since the initial discovery: The current known range is approxi- mately five miles north of the Town of Arcadia south to the first known populations growing in Charlotte Spring 2017 Aquatics | 5 Figure 4. 6 | Aquatics Volume 39 | Number 1 County near Harbor Heights (2016). The 2016 Charlotte County popula- tion probably survived the salt/ brackish water due to the above average rainfall in the central Florida region, causing the salt wedge to shift further down river, allowing freshwater to expand south. Over the last six plus years a total of 62 acres have been treated. The population seems to fluctuate each year with only two acres treated in both 2013 and 2015. At the most, 16 acres were treated in both 2012 and 2016 with the aquatic labeled herbicide diquat dibromide (trade name Knockout TM).

Sampling was carried out at flood in three types of aquatic vegetation, (wild-rice, floating meadow and Polygonum bank) in anabranch Bonfim (lotic) and in lake Mandioré (lentic) in plots along transects, to estimate the percent coverage and record life forms of species. We collected 59 species in 50 genera and 28 families.

  • Outline of the Neotropical Infrageneric Taxa of Phyllanthus (Euphorbiaceae)
    Outline of the neotropical infrageneric taxa of Phyllanthus (Euphorbiaceae) Grady L. Webster Section of Plant Biology, University of California, Davis, California, 95616, U.S.A. ABSTRACT. The 220 described neotropical species of Phyllanthus (Euphorbiaceae) are arranged in 33 sections belonging to 8 subgenera. Descriptions are given for one new subgenus, Cyclanthera, and five new sections – Antipodanthus, Salviniopsis, Pityrocladus, Hylaeanthus, and Sellowianthus. Three new subsections are described: sect. Phyllanthus subsect. Almadenses, sect. Phyllanthus subsect. Clausseniani; and sect. Choretropsis subsect. Choretropsis. Keys to species, and enumerations of them, are provided for new or revised sections and subsections. The 800-odd species of Phyllanthus, one of the larger genera of Euphorbiaceae, have recently been tabulated by Govaerts et al. (2000), but the subgenera and sections are not indicated. The first comprehensive arrangements of sections in Phyllanthus were published by Baillon (1858) and by Grisebach (1859). Jean Müller (1863, 1866, 1873) presented a much more sophisticated system involving sections and subsections; his arrangment was followed, almost unaltered, by Pax and Hoffmann (1931). Since then, the infrageneric taxa have been summarized by Webster (1956-58; 1967a) and by Webster and Airy Shaw 1971; for taxa in Australasia). Pollen characters have proved to be very important indicators of relationship (Webster, 1956, 1988; Punt, 1967, 1987). The outline proposed here reflects changes due to ongoing revision of the neotropical species of Phyllanthus (Webster, 1967b, 1968, 1970, 1978, 1984, 1988, 1991, 1999, 2001; and ined.). In addition to a key to the subgenera and sections, the 9 subgenera and their constituent sections are enumerated. Species are enumerated for most sections except for the West Indian taxa previously treated (Webster, 1956, 1957, 1958, 1991).

  • More on Phyllanthus by Colette Jacono
    More on Phyllanthus by Colette Jacono In this issue, George Wilder and Michael Sowinski present Phyllanthus fluitans as a recent addition to Florida’s aquatic environment. While beautiful in structure and unique in adaptations, we cannot expect this “one more” introduced species to be celebrated by land managers already stretched to the limit in working resources. Yet, let’s step back from these practical implications and take the opportunity to further explore Figure A. Phyllanthus urinaria that which our authors have so well introduced — the interesting botanical features of the genus Phyllanthus. We can do this by examining two terrestrial, weedy species that also are introduced and very common to observe in late summer through fall throughout the state, Phyllanthus urinaria (chamber bitter) and P. tenellus (the Mascarene Island leafflower). Both Phyllanthus urinaria and P. tenellus germinate each summer from seeds established in the soil. Homeowners typically notice seedlings in gaps within St. Augustine grass as the lawn begins to decline from the rigors of summer climate and with the onset of shorter days. By referencing the key to species in the genus Phyllanthus offered in Dick Wunderlin’s Guide to the Vascular Fig B. Phyllanthus urinaria Plants of Florida, we will quickly recognize these two terrestrial species from the aquatic P. fluitans by the absence of leaves on the main stem. The terrestrial species instead have a naked stem that extends straight upright, and distinctly horizontal branches from which the simple, individual leaves are held in alternate arrangement from each other. From above, as these small, herbaceous plants are usually viewed, the horizontal, leaf holding branches are often mistaken as compound leaves, perhaps of a species in the pea family (Fig.

Introduction Plant Protection and Quarantine (PPQ) regulates noxious weeds under the authority of the Plant Protection Act (7 U.S.C. § 7701-7786, 2000) and the Federal Seed Act (7 U.S.C. § 1581-1610, 1939). A noxious weed is defined as “any plant or plant product that can directly or indirectly injure or cause damage to crops (including nursery stock or plant products), livestock, poultry, or other interests of agriculture, irrigation, navigation, the natural resources of the United States, the public health, or the environment” (7 U.S.C. § 7701-7786, 2000). We use the PPQ weed risk assessment (WRA) process (PPQ, 2015) to evaluate the risk potential of plants, including those newly detected in the United States, those proposed for import, and those emerging as weeds elsewhere in the world. The PPQ WRA process includes three analytical components that together describe the risk profile of a plant species (risk potential, uncertainty, and geographic potential; PPQ, 2015).
