The Species Are Currently Placed Following Account. Presentation Of A redefinitionof Gastonia and related genera (Araliaceae) W.R. Philipson Department of Botany, University of Canterbury, New Zealand Summary and The six genera Gastonia, Tetraplasandra, Reynoldsia, Munroidendron, Peekeliopanax, Indokingia form a natural complex distributed from East Africa to the Marquesas and the Hawaiian Islands. The characters in these The between which have been thoughtuseful distinguishing genera are re-examined. distinction in Gastonia and Tetraplasandra is redefined, emphasis being placed on the radiating stigmatic arms the On is Hawaiian fruit rather than onpleiomery ofthe stamens. this basis Tetraplasandra confined to the group. The monotypic genera Peekeliopanax and Indokingia are reduced to synonymy under Gastonia, which thus comprises all species of the complex west of Samoa. Introduction Araliads leaves with the with imparipinnate and pedicels no articulation between pedicel and the flower form with a clearly defined group a nearly continuous distribution from East Africa, through the islands of the Indian Ocean and Malesia, to the Solomons, limits Samoa, the Society Islands, the Marquesas, and the Hawaiian group. Generic within natural have this is this group of species always been confused, and especially true the Malesian of the been in area. Here, at the centre range, species have referred to genera characteristic of the Pacific or the Indian Ocean according to the characters available in the material being studied. The reason underlying much of this confusion is undoubtedly that the fruit of Gastonia the flower found Comm. ex Lamk is distinctive, having radiating stigmatic arms, and that in many species of Tetraplasandra A. Gray is also distinctive, having numerous stamens. In the Malesian and some other species these two features occur together. This has resulted of winkleri in fruiting material being described as species Gastonia. G. papuana Miq., G. and boridiana floral On Harms, G. Harms were all described from specimens lacking parts. the other hand, flowering material(with the exception of G. eupteronoides Teysm. & Binn.) has been described either as Tetraplasandra (T. paucidens Miq., T. philippinensis Merr., T. solomonensis Philipson, and T. koordersii Harms) or as the new monotypic genus Peekeliopanax Harms. Indeed, Miquel described flowering and fruiting material of the and same species as a Tetraplasandra a Gastonia on consecutive pages and-Harms described and several later described another species as Peekeliopanax from flowering material, years a fruiting specimen of the same species as a Gastonia.

  • "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.

This includes fostering the wisest use ofour land and water resources, protecting our fish and wildlife, preserving the environmental and cultural values ofour national parks and historical places, and providing for the enjoyment of life through outdoor recreation. The Department assesses our energy and mineral resources and works to assure that their development is in the best interests ofall our people. The Department also has a major responsibility for American Indian reservation communities and for people who live in island Territories under U.S. administration. DISCLAIMER PAGE Recovery plans delineate reasonable actions that are believed to be required to recover and/or protect listed species. Plans are published by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, sometimes prepared with the assistance ofrecovery teams, contractors, State agencies, and others. Objectives will be attained and any necessary funds made available subject to budgetary and other constraints affecting the parties involved, as well as the need to address other priorities.

Ecology. 5 6Appendix A: Detailed supplementary information on the methods, including tables and figures 7 8 A.1 Plant–pollinator networks 9In total, 97 flower visitor taxa were recorded, of which 14 taxa, belonging to the groups of 10spiders, crickets, true bugs (hemiptera) and ants, were excluded from the networks as they were 11not considered pollinators of the inselberg plants. Pollinators were identified to species level for 1228 taxa (34%) and to morpho-species level for the remaining 55 taxa (66%; hereafter all 13pollinator taxa are referred to as ‘pollinator species’). Morpho-species were not pooled based on 14morphological traits such as size, but they were distinguished at the smallest possible level 15without taxonomic determination and assigned a species code. Flower visitors were recorded as 16pollinators when they touched the sexual parts of flowers. Sampling of interactions was 17conducted by the same three observers throughout the 8-month flowering season and sampling 18was standardized between observers fortnightly. We used equal observation periods for all plant 19species to reduce sampling bias and to collect data on interaction frequency independent of size 20constraints and flower abundance (Ollerton and Cranmer 2002). 21 To assess the effect of sampling on network dissimilarities we conducted a rarefaction 22analysis (Hurlbert 1971, Heck et al. 1975). We calculated Bray-Curtis dissimilarities (see Section 23D below for a detailed description on dissimilarity matrices) between rarefied interaction 24matrices sampled at four different proportions (0.8, 0.6, 0.4 and 0.2) and compared the resulting 25mean ± 95% CI dissimilarities of the rarefied matrices to the dissimilarity between the original 26matrices.

  • List 01 Hawaiian Names 01 Plants
    V\.{). 3 v BOTANICAL BULLETIN NO.2 JUNE. 1913 TERRITORY OF HAWAII BOARD OF AGRICULTURE AND FORESTRY List 01 Hawaiian Names 01 Plants BY JOSEPH F. ROCK Consulting Botanist, Board of Agriculture and Forestry HONOLULU: HAWAIIAN GAZETTE CO., LTD. 1913 ALPHABETICAL LIST OF HAWAIIAN NAMES OF PLANTS. The following list of Hawaiian plant-names has been compiled from various sources. Hillebrand in his valuable Flora of the Hawaiian Islands has given many Hawaiian names, especially of the more common species; these are incorporated in this list with a few corrections. Nearly all Hawaiian plant-names found in this list and not in Hillebrand's Flora were secured from Mr. Francis Gay of the Island of Kauai, an old resident in this Terri­ tory and well acquainted with its plants from a layman's stand­ point. It was the writer's privilege to camp with Mr. Gay in the mountains of Kauai collecting botanical material; for almost every species he could give the native name, which he had se­ cured in the early days from old and reliable natives. Mr. Gay had made spatter prints of many of the native plants in a large record book with their names and uses, as well as their symbolic meaning when occurring in mele (songs) or olioli (chants), at­ tached to them. For all this information the writer is indebted mainly to Mr. Francis Gay and also to Mr. Augustus F. Knudsen of the same Island. The writer also secured Hawaiian names from old na­ tives and Kahunas (priests) in the various islands of the group.
