  • Puncturevine Identification and Management Background Information

    Puncturevine Identification and Management Background Information

    Puncturevine Identification and Management Background Information History and Impacts Puncturevine (Tribulus terrestris) is also known as goathead. Puncturevine is native to southern Europe and Asia and is found throughout central Oregon. Its main weedy characteristic, as indicated by its name, are its spiky seedpods that can injure livestock, people, and pets when stepped on and can even puncture bicycle tires. Habitat Puncturevine is commonly found on disturbed sites, roadways, driveways, trails and parking areas, in overgrazed pastures, gardens and waste areas. Good soil moisture and warm temperatures are needed for germination, but after the plant is established it can tolerate dry soils due to its rapidly produced deep taproot. Seeds are primarily dormant in the first season, but may germinate the next spring. Seeds may remain viable in the soil for up to five years. Identification Plant: Puncturevine is a summer annual broadleaf that emerges as early as May and continue growth until frost. Plants generally grows low to the ground forming dense mats 2 to 5 feet in diameter. Leaves: The hairy leaves are opposite each other and divided into four to eight pairs of leaflets that are also opposite each other. Stems: Stems radiate out from a central point at the taproot. Flowers: The yellow flowers produced in the leaf axils have 5 petals and are ½ inch wide. The flowers appear as quickly as 3 weeks after the seedlings emerge and flowering continues throughout the growing season. Seeds: Following quick flowering, seeds are viable 1 to 2 weeks later however they usually stay dormant in the first year.

Accepted 4 May, 2012 The antibacterial activity of the methanolic and n-hexane extracts of Fagonia cretica L. , Peganum harmala L. , Tribulus terrestris L. , Chrozophora tinctoria (L.) Raf and Ricinus communis L. , were investigated against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoni and Salmonella typhi. Phytochemical screening of the methanolic extract of F. cretica, P. harmala and C. tinctoria revealed the presence of saponins, phlobatannins, anthraquinones and alkaloids. Tannins and flavonoids were found in C. tinctoria and R. communis . Glycosides were found in F. cretica and P. harmala , while terpenoids and phenolics occurred in P. harmala . Group tests revealed that the methanolic and n-hexane extract of F. cretica, P. harmala, T. terrestris, C. tinctoria and R. communis had OH, carboxylic and phenolic groups. The methanolic and n-hexane extracts of F. cretica, P. harmala, T. terrestris, C. tinctoria and R. communis showed the absence of aldehyde and ketone group. The ability of the methanolic and n-hexane extracts of F. cretica , P. harmala, T. terrestris, C. tinctoria and R. communis to inhibit the growth of different bacteria has shown their broad spectrum antibacterial potential, which may be used in the management of microbial infections.

  • Reference Plant List

    Reference Plant List

    APPENDIX J NATIVE & INVASIVE PLANT LIST The following tables capture the referenced plants, native and invasive species, found throughout this document. The Wildlife Action Plan Team elected to only use common names for plants to improve the readability, particular for the general reader. However, common names can create confusion for a variety of reasons. Common names can change from region-to-region; one common name can refer to more than one species; and common names have a way of changing over time. For example, there are two widespread species of greasewood in Nevada, and numerous species of sagebrush. In everyday conversation generic common names usually work well. But if you are considering management activities, landscape restoration or the habitat needs of a particular wildlife species, the need to differentiate between plant species and even subspecies suddenly takes on critical importance. This appendix provides the reader with a cross reference between the common plant names used in this document’s text, and the scientific names that link common names to the precise species to which writers referenced. With regards to invasive plants, all species listed under the Nevada Revised Statute 555 (NRS 555) as a “Noxious Weed” will be notated, within the larger table, as such. A noxious weed is a plant that has been designated by the state as a “species of plant which is, or is likely to be, detrimental or destructive and difficult to control or eradicate” (NRS 555.05). To assist the reader, we also included a separate table detailing the noxious weeds, category level (A, B, or C), and the typical habitats that these species invade.

    Puncturevine (Tribulus Terrestris)

    Puncturevine O & T Guide W-13 Frank Sholedice, Research Associate & Mark Renz, Extension Weed Scientist Cooperative Extension Service z College of Agriculture and Home Economics z October 2006 Puncturevine, Tribulus terrestris, is a oblong in shape, about 0.2-0.6 in. long, prostrate summer annual with many green to dark green in color with smooth creeping or spreading stems, yellow edges, sometimes with long hairs or flowers with five petals, and woody seed bristles on the leaf or leaf edge. pods covered with spinney burs. The burs are very sharp and pose a threat to people, animals, pets, and some tires. The plant’s foliage is toxic to livestock when ingested; sheep are especially vulnerable because they can tolerate and will often eat the plant. Puncturevine is also known as goathead, bullhead, caltrop, Mexican sandbur, and tackweed. The stems originate from a taproot and can grow to about 3 ft. long with much branching. Stems are green to red or brown in color, often with long hairs, and grow horizontally along the ground. The flowers grow singly at leaf axils and are 0.2-0.6 in. in diameter, bright yellow, with five petals. Woody seed pods also develop singly at leaf axils and are 0.2-0.4 in. in diameter, green to brown in color, The plant’s leaves consist of 3-7 pairs of often hairy, with many sharp burs each opposite leaflets that grow along a 0.10-0.25 in. long. The plant grows from common midvein; each leaflet is oval or a semi-woody taproot and reproduces by seed only.

In this policy paper, we present Chloe MacLaren, Rothamsted Research the results of an emirate-wide botanical survey that explores how the plant species, present across Ras Al Introduction Khaimah, vary according to the Emirate’s geography. Ras Al Khaimah encompasses various natural habitats, including In total, 320 plant species were documented in mountain ranges, hills, coastal dunes, mangroves, gravel plains, and the survey, 293 of which were identified. Some of desert. These landscapes can seem universally harsh in their aridity or the recorded species are either uniquely found in salinity. However, the variations in environmental conditions, such as the Emirate or are rare and endangered. Four main temperature, water availability, and soil type, that define the habitats vegetation types have been identified in the Emirate: allow for a great diversity of flora and fauna. The complete range of coastal and lowland vegetation, plains vegetation, species present in Ras Al Khaimah has yet to be fully cataloged and low mountain vegetation, and high mountain investigated. There is a particular lack of information on the diversity vegetation. Within each of these, there are several and distributions of plants.
