Our Speaker This Month The Little Orange Creek Preserve is a 2900 acre preserve that is a collaborative project with nu- merous partners. The project has been made pos- sible through efforts by the city of Hawthorne, the Larry Schwandes earned a Bachelor of Chemistry Alachua County Forever Program, the Putnam Land from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in Conservancy and Alachua Conservation Trust, the 1965 and a Master of Science in Biology from Delta Florida Communities Trust program (Florida Forev- State College, Cleveland, Mississippi in 1972.

The central element of conservation focus for this preserve is a large network of connected wetlands that form the headwaters of Little Orange Creek, which is an important contributor within the Ock- lawaha River basin. Many varieties of upland plant community types also exist in the preserve and at May 14 Field Trip least four species of orchids have been found here, including a large population of the giant orchid Little Orange Creek Nature Preserve (Pteroglossaspis ecristata). This field trip will begin at the Prairie Creek Lodge, Ivor Kincaide, Land Manager of the Alachua Con- southeast of Gainesville at 9 am and will include a servation Trust , will lead us on the May 14 field multi-stop visit to different locations at the Little trip to the Little Orange Creek Nature Preserve.

Our members showed up en masse to purchase prime natives before the public got their chance. The rain held off just long enough for a great preview sale. On Saturday our volunteers an- swered all manner of questions as we steered these interested plant enthusiasts toward appropriate na- tives for their landscapes. Wild columbine (Aquilegia canadensis) Leo Nico's soothing melodies, along with abundant sunshine, made for a wonderful morning. And to top it off, both raffle winners happened to be Paynes Prairie members! Our vendors provided a great selection of diverse plant material. Thank you to all our volunteers for the great assist! Coral honeysuckle (Lonicera sempervirens) Prescribed burn at Morningside Nature Center 3 UPDATE ON ORANGE MOLD OBSERVED ON JACK-IN-THE-PULPIT Information and photo provided by Julieta Brambila During our recent yard tour of Dan White’s proper- ty in Gainesville, several members observed an or- ange colored mold growing on the leaves of Jack- Uromyces fungus on Arisaema triphyllum in-the-Pulpit (Arisaema triphyllum (L.) Schott). Julieta Brambila, chapter member and entomolo- gist with the USDA, took samples to both the Divi- sion of Plant Industry as well as our most recent PAYNES PRAIRIE CHAPTER CONTACT LIST speaker Dr. Matthew Smith of IFAS for further in- President vestigation. The DPI report identified the pathogen Rob Garren [email protected] as a Uromyces species which is a type of rust which Vice President is a known pathogen for Arisaema.

The common name Chinese tallowtree derives from its use in the Orient as a source of tallow for candles and soaps. The tallow is obtained from the white waxy coating of the seed. The species is listed as a Category I Invasive by the Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council (FLEPPC) and is now present in most Florida counties. It is a very fast growing tree which has invaded many Florida ecosys- tems and is particularly problematic in wetland areas. According to a USDA-NRCS Plant Guide, the species was actually introduced from China into the United States in 1776 by Ben Franklin. It has been cultivated in China for at least 14 centuries as a seed crop and ornamental. In the early 1900s, the USDA actually promoted use of the plant in the Gulf Coast states in hopes of developing a local soap industry. My, how our thinking evolves over time! Waxy coating of Chinese tallowtree seed (photo from USDA-NRCS Plant Guide) We extend gratitude to all who participated. The workshop is intended to be educational and is not a plant ID service.

  • Natural Forest Community Delineation Methods
    Natural Forest Community Delineation Methods Keith A. Bradley and George D. Gann February 2, 2005 The Institute for Regional Conservation 22601 S.W. 152 Avenue; Miami, Florida 33170 George D. Gann, Executive Director Introduction The Natural Forest Community (NFC) system was established in 1984 under ordinance 89-9, Chapter 24-60 of the Miami-Dade County Code. The ordinance provides legal protection for sites designated by the county as NFCs: “Natural Forest Community shall mean all stands of trees (including their associated understory) which were designated as Natural Forest Communities on the Dade County Natural Forest Community Maps and approved by the Board of County Commissioners, pursuant to Resolution No. R-1764-84.” Factors for reviewing proposed Natural Forest Community sites in the original ordinance included: 1) Presence of endangered, threatened, rare, or endemic species (plants or animals); 2) Plant species diversity on the site; 3) Size of trees; 4) Size of site; 5) Wildlife habitat value; 6) Geological features; and 7) Percentage of site covered by non-native plant species. As required by the ordinance, quantitative evaluation criteria were developed by DERM incorporating the above factors, including separate criteria for the delineation of hardwood hammocks and pinelands. These criteria have become outdated as more scientifically rigorous criteria for delineating natural areas have been developed since 1984, primarily relating to delineation of wetland habitats. Some of the methods used to delineate NFCs by DERM proved to be ineffective including the establishment of transects to measure plant species cover and diversity on each site. As specified in section 151 of the ordinance, evaluation criteria may be revised occasionally.

Pure App. Biosci. 6 (5): 346-354 (2018) Research Article Host Choice in Rotylenchulus Species Y. S. Rathore* Principal Scientist (Retd.), Indian Institute of Pulses Research, Kanpur-208 024 (U.P.) India *Corresponding Author E-mail: [email protected] Received: 12.09.2018 | Revised: 9.10.2018 | Accepted: 16.10.2018 ABSTRACT The reniformis nematodes of the genus Rotylenchulus (Haplolaimidae: Nematoda) are sedentary semi-endoparasites of numerous crops. There are ten species out of which R. reniformis and R. parvus are important, and three species (R. amanictus, R. clavicadatus, R. leptus) are monophagous: two on monocots and one on Rosids. In general, Rotylenchulus species are capable of feeding from very primitive Magnoliids to plants of advanced category. Preference was distinctly observed towards the plants in Rosids (42.779%) followed by monocots (23.949%) and Asterids (21.755%). The SAI values were also higher for these groups of plants. The study on lineages further revealed intimate affinity to febids (25.594%), followed by commelinids (18.647%), malvids (16.088%), lamiids (11.883%), and campanulids (9.141%). Poales contribution within commelinids was 65.353%. Maximum affinity of Rotylenchulus species was observed by their association with plants from families Poaceae (7), followed by Fabaceae (6), Malvaceae (6), Asteraceae (4), Oleaceae (4), Soanaceae (4) and so on. Key words: Agiosperms, Gymnosperms, APG IV system, Reniform nemtodes, Monocots, Rosids, Asterids INTRODUCTION number of crops, whereas the other eight Plant parasitic nematodes pose a great species are of limited importance.
