Of the former, we might mention the splendid varieties of Cercis, with their purple flowers, the Acacias, with their airy foliage and silky stamens, the Pride of India, Colutea, and Cæsalpina, with a host of others, which, like the Sweet Pea, are redolent with perfume. Of the latter, the beans, peas, lentils, clover, and lucerne, are too well known to require recommendation. Among timber trees, the Rosewood (a Brazilian species of Mimosa), the Laburnum, whose wood is durable and of an olive-green color, and the Locust of our own country are preëminent. The following are a few important officinal products of this order. In medicine; liquorice is the product of the root of Glycyrrhiza glabra of S. Europe. The purgative senna consists of leaves of Cassia Senna, C. acutifolia, C. Æthiopica, and other species of Egypt and Arabia. C. Marilandica is also a cathartic, but more mild than the former. The sweet pulp tamarind, is the product of a large and beautiful tree (Tamarindus Indica) of the E. and W. Indies. Resins and Balsams: Gum Senegal is yielded by Acacia Verek of the River Senegal; Gum Arabic, by several species of Acacia of Central Africa; Gum Tragacynth, by Astragalus verus, &c., Persia.

  • Family Fabaceae
    CATNIP classes, Acme Botanical Services 2013 Fabaceae (Pea Family, Bean Family, Legume Family) The third largest family of angiosperms (behind the aster family (Asteraceae) and the orchid family (Orchidaceae), the Fabaceae includes somewhere between 16.000 and 20,000 species. It rivals the grass family (Poaceae) in terms of economic importance. The Fabaceae includes plants of all growth forms, from trees and shrubs down to annual and perennial herbs. Members are easy to recognize on the basis of the foliage, which involves compound leaves of various kinds; the flowers, which are of three types (see subfamilies below); and the fruit, which is a single-chambered dry pod. Three subfamilies are recognized. All three are well represented in the Capital area. Mimosoideae. In this subfamily, the leaves are twice-pinnately compound. The flowers are tightly packed into heads or spikes. The flowers are regular (radially symmetrical), but the perianth (corolla and calyx) is so tiny as to be scarcely noticeable. The stamens are the conspicuous part of the flower, usually numerous and 10 times or more as long as the corolla. In many species, such as Nuttall’s sensitive- briar (Mimosa nuttallii, right), the flower heads resemble pink pom-poms. Caesalpinoideae. Plants of this group have even-pinnate or odd-pinnate leaves. The flowers have a conspicuous corolla with 5 separate petals. The stamens are separate and visible (i.e., not concealed by the corolla. Most of the species in our area have yellow petals. Roemer’s two-leaf senna (Senna roemeriana, right) is typical. Papilionideae. This is the largest subfamily in our area, and the one with the bilaterally symmetrical two-lipped flowers that come to mind any time the pea family is mentioned.

Lloyd Hulbert's death in May 1986 left a wealth of unfinished during the early part of the growing season (Hulbert 1988), and projects as well as the legacy of Konza Prairie Research Natural Area, may lead to a more productive (Abrams et al. 1986), lower di­ Kansas. One of these was an incomplete manuscript on fire, mowing, and versity, structurally more uniform grassland. The importance of soil effects on the tallgrass prairie, in which canopy cover and frequency soil type upon the composition of the prairie lies, in part, in the in 27 soil-treatment combinations from Konza Prairie were reported.

Hazlett, Michael H. Schiebout, and Paulette L. Ford Hazlett, Donald L.; Schiebout, Michael H.; and Ford, Paulette L. 2009. Vascular plants and a brief history of the Kiowa and Rita Blanca National Grasslands. Gen. Tech. Rep. RMRS- GTR-233. Fort Collins, CO: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 44 p. Abstract Administered by the USDA Forest Service, the Kiowa and Rita Blanca National Grasslands occupy 230,000 acres of public land extending from northeastern New Mexico into the panhandles of Oklahoma and Texas. A mosaic of topographic features including canyons, plateaus, rolling grasslands and outcrops supports a diverse flora. Eight hundred twenty six (826) species of vascular plant species representing 81 plant families are known to occur on or near these public lands. This report includes a history of the area; ethnobotanical information; an introductory overview of the area including its climate, geology, vegetation, habitats, fauna, and ecological history; and a plant survey and information about the rare, poisonous, and exotic species from the area. A vascular plant checklist of 816 vascular plant taxa in the appendix includes scientific and common names, habitat types, and general distribution data for each species. This list is based on extensive plant collections and available herbarium collections. Authors Donald L. Hazlett is an ethnobotanist, Director of New World Plants and People consulting, and a research associate at the Denver Botanic Gardens, Denver, CO.

  • Southwestern Rare and Endangered Plants: Proceedings of the Fourth Conference
    A Tale of Two Rare Wild Buckwheats (Eriogonum Subgenus Eucycla (Polygonaceae)) from Southeastern Arizona JOHN L. ANDERSON U.S. Bureau of Land Management, 21605 N. Seventh Ave, Phoenix, AZ 85027 ABSTRACT. Unusual soils, compared to surrounding common soils, act as edaphic habitat islands and often harbor rare plants. These edaphic elements can be disjuncts or endemics. Two rare wild buckwheats from southeastern Arizona that grow on Tertiary lacustrine lakebed deposits have been found to be a disjunct, and an endemic. Eriogonum apachense from the Bylas area is determined to be a disjunct expression of E. heermannii var. argense, a Mojave Desert taxon from northern Arizona and adjacent California and Nevada, not a distinct endemic species. At a historical location of E. apachense near Vail, Arizona, a new species of Eriogonum, also in subgenus Eucycla, was discovered growing on mudstones of the Oligocene Pantano Formation. It was also recently found on outcrops of the Plio-Pleistocene Saint David Formation above the San Pedro River near Fairbank, Arizona. The large North American genus of characterized by igneous mountains and wild buckwheats, Eriogonum, has alluvial basins; and, these unusual approximately 255 species. Only Carex, edaphic habitats are uncommon there. Astragalus, and Penstemon have more. Though, in a small number of places This large number of species in (Fig. 1) they have been formed by late Eriogonum is a consequence of Tertiary lacustrine basin deposits extensive speciation (Shultz 1993) with (Nations et al 1982) where many “…about one third of the species endemics, disjuncts, and peripherals uncommon to rare” (Reveal 2001). In have been documented (Anderson 1996).
