"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. -
Wildlife Travel Burren 2018
The Burren 2018 species list and trip report, 7th-12th June 2018 WILDLIFE TRAVEL The Burren 2018 s 1 The Burren 2018 species list and trip report, 7th-12th June 2018 Day 1: 7th June: Arrive in Lisdoonvarna; supper at Rathbaun Hotel Arriving by a variety of routes and means, we all gathered at Caherleigh House by 6pm, sustained by a round of fresh tea, coffee and delightful home-made scones from our ever-helpful host, Dermot. After introductions and some background to the geology and floral elements in the Burren from Brian (stressing the Mediterranean component of the flora after a day’s Mediterranean heat and sun), we made our way to the Rathbaun, for some substantial and tasty local food and our first taste of Irish music from the three young ladies of Ceolan, and their energetic four-hour performance (not sure any of us had the stamina to stay to the end). Day 2: 8th June: Poulsallach At 9am we were collected by Tony, our driver from Glynn’s Coaches for the week, and following a half-hour drive we arrived at a coastal stretch of species-rich limestone pavement which represented the perfect introduction to the Burren’s flora: a stunningly beautiful mix of coastal, Mediterranean, Atlantic and Arctic-Alpine species gathered together uniquely in a natural rock garden. First impressions were of patchy grassland, sparkling with heath spotted- orchids Dactylorhiza maculata ericetorum and drifts of the ubiquitous and glowing-purple bloody crane’s-bill Geranium sanguineum, between bare rock. A closer look revealed a diverse and colourful tapestry of dozens of flowers - the yellows of goldenrod Solidago virgaurea, kidney-vetch Anthyllis vulneraria, and bird’s-foot trefoil Lotus corniculatus (and its attendant common blue butterflies Polyommatus Icarus), pink splashes of wild thyme Thymus polytrichus and the hairy local subspecies of lousewort Pedicularis sylvatica ssp. -

The floristic research was carried out in 2004-2009. Numerous species that were noted here almost 30 years ago were not found in the present study, the size of other populations decreased. Nevertheless, many plant species occurring in the reserve are rare, endangered or protected. Six major plant associations, impoverished form of two ones and one plant community are distinguished in the whole area of the reserve. Occurrence of two plant associations was not confirmed. Key words: steppe reserve, rare and endangered species, succession 1. INTRODUCTION Almost all sites of xerothermic vegetation in middle-east Poland were investigated in respect of flora and plant associations and communities. The researches were conducted in 1960s (e.g. FIJAŁKOWSKI 1959, 1964, 1972; FIJAŁKOWSKI , IZDEBSKI 1957; FIJAŁKOWSKI , ADAMCZYK 1980; FIJAŁKOWSKI et al . 1987). Conducted comparative researches show, that both flora and plant communities have been changed to a great extent. Preliminary information on this theme was published by FIJAŁKOWSKI et al. (1987) and KUCHARCZYK and WÓJCIAK (1995).

Rubiaceae): Evolution of Major Clades, Development of Leaf-Like Whorls, and Biogeography
TAXON 59 (3) • June 2010: 755–771 Soza & Olmstead • Molecular systematics of Rubieae Molecular systematics of tribe Rubieae (Rubiaceae): Evolution of major clades, development of leaf-like whorls, and biogeography Valerie L. Soza & Richard G. Olmstead Department of Biology, University of Washington, Box 355325, Seattle, Washington 98195-5325, U.S.A. Author for correspondence: Valerie L. Soza, [email protected] Abstract Rubieae are centered in temperate regions and characterized by whorls of leaf-like structures on their stems. Previous studies that primarily included Old World taxa identified seven major clades with no resolution between and within clades. In this study, a molecular phylogeny of the tribe, based on three chloroplast regions (rpoB-trnC, trnC-psbM, trnL-trnF-ndhJ) from 126 Old and New World taxa, is estimated using parsimony and Bayesian analyses. Seven major clades are strongly supported within the tribe, confirming previous studies. Relationships within and between these seven major clades are also strongly supported. In addition, the position of Callipeltis, a previously unsampled genus, is identified. The resulting phylogeny is used to examine geographic distribution patterns and evolution of leaf-like whorls in the tribe. An Old World origin of the tribe is inferred from parsimony and likelihood ancestral state reconstructions. At least eight subsequent dispersal events into North America occurred from Old World ancestors. From one of these dispersal events, a radiation into North America, followed by subsequent diversification in South America, occurred. Parsimony and likelihood ancestral state reconstructions infer the ancestral whorl morphology of the tribe as composed of six organs. Whorls composed of four organs are derived from whorls with six or more organs. -

Glycosides in the Rubiaceae*
The occurrence of asperulosidic glycosides in the Rubiaceae* P. Kooiman Laboratorium voor Algemene en Technische Biologie Technische Hogeschool, Delft. SUMMARY Some properties of the new iridoid compounds Galium glucoside and Gardenia glucoside are described. Galium glucoside and asperuloside occurin many species belongingto the Rubioideae (sensu Bremekamp); they were not found in other subfamilies of the Rubiaceae. Gardenia glucoside occurs in several species ofthe tribe Gardenieae (subfamily Ixoroideae). The distribution of the asperulosidic glucosides in the Rubiaceae corresponds with the classi- fication proposed by Bremekamp, although there are some exceptions (Hamelieae, Opercu- laria and Pomax, possibly the Gaertnereae). To a somewhat less degreethe system proposedby Verdcourt is supported. 1. INTRODUCTION Apart from the classification arrived at by Bremekamp (1966) the only other modern system of the Rubiaceae was proposed by Verdcourt (1958); both au- thors considered their classifications tentative. The have several fea- as systems tures in common, but deviate in some points. The main differences are in the po- sition ofthe Urophylloideae sensu Bremekamp, which are included in the subfa- mily Rubioideaeby Verdcourt, and in the relationship between the Cinchonoideae the Ixoroideae and (both sensu Bremekamp) which are united in the subfamily Cinchonoideae by Verdcourt. Both systems diverge widely and principally from all older classifications which appeared to become more and more unsatis- factory as the number of described species increased. In 1954 Briggs & Nicholes reported on the presence or absence of the iridoid glucoside asperuloside (1) in most species of Coprosma and in many other Rubiaceae. The reaction they used for the detection of asperuloside is now known to be not specific for this glucoside; it detects in addition some struc- turally and most probably biogenetically related glycosides. -
Rediscovery of Arrabidaea Chica (Bignoniaceae) and Entada Polystachya Var
Phytotaxa 125 (1): 53–58 (2013) ISSN 1179-3155 (print edition) www.mapress.com/phytotaxa/ Article PHYTOTAXA Copyright © 2013 Magnolia Press ISSN 1179-3163 (online edition) http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/phytotaxa.125.1.8 Rediscovery of Arrabidaea chica (Bignoniaceae) and Entada polystachya var. polyphylla (Fabaceae) in Puerto Rico MARCOS A. CARABALLO-ORTIZ Herbarium, Botanical Garden of the University of Puerto Rico, 1187 Calle Flamboyán, San Juan, Puerto Rico 00926, USA. Current address: Pennsylvania State University, Department of Biology, 208 Mueller Laboratory, University Park, Pennsylvania 16802, USA. E-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract In this contribution the rediscovery of the lianas Arrabidaea chica (Bignoniaceae) and Entada polystachya var. polyphylla (Fabaceae-Mimosoideae) in Puerto Rico is reported. These species were first collected during the 1880s and subsequently considered extirpated. Their current status in Puerto Rico is discussed, and recommendations for their conservation are offered. Introduction During the decade of 1880, the German botanist Paul Ernst Emil Sintenis and the Puerto Rican naturalist Agustín Stahl collected several plant species and made significant contributions to the knowledge of the flora of Puerto Rico (Urban 1903–1911, Stahl 1883–1888). During their explorations throughout the island, Sintenis and Stahl collected several species new to science and new records for Puerto Rico, some of which are still known only from their collections (Acevedo-Rodríguez 2007, 2013). Examples of these are Arrabidaea chica (Bonpl. in Humboldt & Bonpland 1807: 107, pl. 31) Verlot (1868: 154) (Bignoniaceae) and Entada polystachya (Linnaeus 1753: 520) Candolle (1825: 425) var. polyphylla (Bentham 1840: 133) Barneby (1996: 175) [synonym: Entadopsis polyphylla (Benth.) Britton (in Britton & Rose 1928: 191)] (Fabaceae-Mimosoideae), both collected in 1885 and 1886. -
