Native Plants That Support Butterflies Butterflies and other wildlife rely on native plants to provide food throughout their entire lifecycle. These tables give examples of excellent native plants commonly found in the Southeast that should be our first choices for landscaping, particularly in butterfly and pollinator gardens. Although these tables refer to butterflies, these plants support almost all native and introduced pollinators like honeybees.

Plants were monitored for five consecutive years in six study plots in Oulanka, northern Finland. Sex ratio, spatial distribution of sexes, flowering frequency, number of floral shoots and the number and weight of inflorescences were recorded. In addition, intensity of mycorrhizal fungi in the roots was assessed. Both sexes flowered each year with a similar frequency, but the overall genet sex ratio was strongly female-biased. The bivariate Ripley’s analysis of the sex distribution showed that within most plots sexes were randomly distributed except for one plot. Sexual dimorphism was expressed as larger floral and inflorescence production and heavier inflorescences in males. In addition, the roots of both sexes were colonised to a similar extent by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. The female sex-biased flowering ratios reported are not consistent among years and cannot be explained in terms of spatial segregation of the sexes or sex lability.

  • Fdn22 Northern Dry-Bedrock Pine (Oak) Woodland *Spinulose Shield Fern Or Glandular Wood Fern ( Dryopteris Carthusiana Or D
    FIRE-DEPENDENT FOREST/WOODLAND SYSTEM FDn22 Northern Floristic Region Northern Dry-Bedrock Pine (Oak) Woodland Dry pine or oak woodlands on shallow, excessively drained, loamy soils on bedrock ridges and hillsides or on rock ledges and terraces adjacent to rivers. Crown and surface fires were common historically. Vegetation Structure & Composition Description is based on summary of vegetation data from 47 plots (relevés). Ground-layer cover of forbs and grami- noids typically ranges from 25-75%. The most common vascular plants are Canada mayflower (Maianthemum canadense), wild sarsaparilla (Aralia nudicaulis), large-leaved aster (Aster macrophyllus), poverty grass (Danthonia spicata), wintergreen (Gaultheria procumbens), and bracken (Pteridium aqui- linum). Lichen- and moss-covered bedrock and boulders typically make up at least 25% of the ground layer. Shrub layer is typically dominated by deciduous species, usually with patchy to interrupted cover (25-75%). Lowbush blue- berry (Vaccinium angustifolium), juneberries (Amelanchier spp.), red maple saplings, and bush honeysuckle (Diervilla lonicera) are the most common species in the shrub layer. Subcanopy is usually absent, but when present, red maple and paper birch are frequent components. Canopy is composed of conifers, hardwoods, or conifers mixed with hardwoods, and is usually patchy (25-50% cover), with openings in areas of exposed bedrock or boulders. Red pine and white pine are dominant on many sites. On other sites, jack pine or northern pin oak are dominant. In mixed forests, conifers often form a supercanopy above hardwood species. Paper birch is often present in the hardwood canopy. Landscape Setting & Soils Glacially scoured bedrock—Common. Landscape is hummocky to rugged. Parent material is non-calcareous drift, usually less than 20in (50cm) deep over bedrock.

    Impacts of seeding and seeding plus mulching treatments on exotic plant invasion and native plant recovery following the 2010 Fourmile Canyon Fire, Colorado Paula J. Fornwalt, PhD Research Ecologist USDA Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station, 240 West Prospect Road, Fort Collins, Colorado 80526 Final Report to Boulder County Parks and Open Space 12 February 2012 Fornwalt PJ. 2012. Impacts of seeding and seeding plus mulching treatments Abstract Following the 2010 Fourmile Canyon Fire, 170 ha (422 ac) of moderately and severely burned areas were seeded with a mixture of quick growing grass species to provide exotic plants with competition during the first few postfire years. Additionally, some seeded areas were also mulched for runoff and erosion control. We established a network of unburned (UNBURN), burned only (BURN), burned and seeded (SEED), and burned, seeded, and mulched (SEEDMULCH) plots to (1) quantify seeded grass germination and establishment, (2) assess the impacts of seed and seed plus mulch treatments on exotic plants, and (3) examine if native plant recovery is impacted by seed and seed plus mulch treatments. We found that the seeding treatments, both alone and in combination with mulching, had no impact on exotic plants during the first postfire year, probably because seeded grass and mulch cover were generally low. The native plant community also appears to be largely unaffected by the treatments at this point in time. Our results provide Boulder County Parks and Open Space with scientific data on the effectiveness of postfire seeding and seeding plus mulching treatments at meeting treatment objectives in the first postfire year.

  • Southern Garden History Plant Lists
    Southern Plant Lists Southern Garden History Society A Joint Project With The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation September 2000 1 INTRODUCTION Plants are the major component of any garden, and it is paramount to understanding the history of gardens and gardening to know the history of plants. For those interested in the garden history of the American south, the provenance of plants in our gardens is a continuing challenge. A number of years ago the Southern Garden History Society set out to create a ‘southern plant list’ featuring the dates of introduction of plants into horticulture in the South. This proved to be a daunting task, as the date of introduction of a plant into gardens along the eastern seaboard of the Middle Atlantic States was different than the date of introduction along the Gulf Coast, or the Southern Highlands. To complicate maters, a plant native to the Mississippi River valley might be brought in to a New Orleans gardens many years before it found its way into a Virginia garden. A more logical project seemed to be to assemble a broad array plant lists, with lists from each geographic region and across the spectrum of time. The project’s purpose is to bring together in one place a base of information, a data base, if you will, that will allow those interested in old gardens to determine the plants available and popular in the different regions at certain times. This manual is the fruition of a joint undertaking between the Southern Garden History Society and the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. In choosing lists to be included, I have been rather ruthless in expecting that the lists be specific to a place and a time.

  • PARASITISM of COMANDRA UMBELLATA One of the Most
    PARASITISM OF COMANDRA UMBELLATA By GEORGE GRANT HEDGCOCK, Pathologist, Investigations in Forest Pathology, Bureau of Plant Industry One of the most important and most injurious of the stem or blister rusts occurring on pines is Peridermium pyriforme Peck, which attacks Pinus (murrayana) contorta Loud., P. ponderosa Laws., and P. ponderosa scopulorum Engelm. in the western United States, P. divaricata Du Mont de Cours, in the Northern States, and P. pnngens Michx. and P. rigida Mill, in the Northwestern States. Peridermium pyriforme is a heterœcious rust and is dependent for its existence upon its alternate, or summer, stage, which occurs on species of Comandra. The problem of the eradication of this important rust being so inti- mately associated with plants of Comandra spp. led the writer to investi- gate their manner of growth and means of propagation. It was found that the plants of at least two species, C. pallida A. DC. and C. umbellata (L.) Nutt, have apparently become largely dependent on parasitism for their continued existence. The other two North American species, C. livida Richards, and C. richardsiana Fernald, resemble the former species in appearance and habit and are probably equally parasitic in their nature. The writer has carefully examined the root system of living plants of both C. umbellata and C. pallida, but only of dried specimens of the other two species. The former have long underground rootstocks which bear here and there small roots or rootlets usually less than 5 inches in length. These rootlets branch sparsely and are nearly always attached to the roots or underground stems of other species of plants.
