  • "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.

Includes persistent cultivated species not growing on Main Post and weedy species growing on Main Post. * This list was first compiled by Robert J. Brozka through the Land Condition Trend Analysis (LCTA) Program beginning in 1988. * Numerous collections and determinations were made by Richard Spellenberg (New Mexico State University) 1989 to present. * Many new collections or locations of non-listed species were reported by several wildlife biologists, range scientists, and botanists through the years.

  • Jeffrey James Keeling Sul Ross State University Box C-64 Alpine, Texas 79832-0001, U.S.A
    AN ANNOTATED VASCULAR FLORA AND FLORISTIC ANALYSIS OF THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE NATURE CONSERVANCY DAVIS MOUNTAINS PRESERVE, JEFF DAVIS COUNTY, TEXAS, U.S.A. Jeffrey James Keeling Sul Ross State University Box C-64 Alpine, Texas 79832-0001, U.S.A. [email protected] ABSTRACT The Nature Conservancy Davis Mountains Preserve (DMP) is located 24.9 mi (40 km) northwest of Fort Davis, Texas, in the northeastern region of the Chihuahuan Desert and consists of some of the most complex topography of the Davis Mountains, including their summit, Mount Livermore, at 8378 ft (2554 m). The cool, temperate, “sky island” ecosystem caters to the requirements that are needed to accommo- date a wide range of unique diversity, endemism, and vegetation patterns, including desert grasslands and montane savannahs. The current study began in May of 2011 and aimed to catalogue the entire vascular flora of the 18,360 acres of Nature Conservancy property south of Highway 118 and directly surrounding Mount Livermore. Previous botanical investigations are presented, as well as biogeographic relation- ships of the flora. The numbers from herbaria searches and from the recent field collections combine to a total of 2,153 voucher specimens, representing 483 species and infraspecies, 288 genera, and 87 families. The best-represented families are Asteraceae (89 species, 18.4% of the total flora), Poaceae (76 species, 15.7% of the total flora), and Fabaceae (21 species, 4.3% of the total flora). The current study represents a 25.44% increase in vouchered specimens and a 9.7% increase in known species from the study area’s 18,360 acres and describes four en- demic and fourteen non-native species (four invasive) on the property.

[email protected] Resumen. Cosmos es uno de los géneros monofiléticos más diversos de la tribu Coreopsideae (Asteraceae). El grupo incluye 35 especies y 4 taxa infraespecíficos restringidos al continente americano. El objetivo del presente trabajo fue evaluar la distribución geográfica y la riqueza de Cosmos a través de un sistema de información geográfica (SIG). Se estimó el área de distribución geográfica de los taxa con más de un registro. También se evaluó la riqueza de las especies de Cosmos por región política, provincia geológica y una cuadrícula de 80 × 80 km. Por último, se valoraron los patrones de distribución geográfica por hábito de crecimiento. Se encontraron 3 zonas de alta riqueza, todas en México, en los estados de Jalisco, Durango y México. Las hierbas anuales, las hierbas perennes y los sufrútices mostraron patrones de distribución geográfica diferente.

The dead were and are not. Their place knows them no more and is ours today. Yet they were once as real as we, and we shall tomorrow be shadows like them.” —George Macauley Trevelyan, FRS (1876-1962) THE REMARKABLE NATURALIST Theodore Dru Alison Cockerell (1866-1948) began his professional scientific career as Curator of the Public Museum in Kingston, Jamaica in 1891. After two years, his In This Issue — tuberculosis, which he contracted in 1887, recurred, and he determined he needed to leave the moist climate of Jamaica. Having spent time in Colorado in order to effect an initial cure of his tuberculosis, Cockerell • Charlotte Ellis............1 wished he could return to the Rocky Mountains. It so happened that he was in correspondence with C.H.T. • Plant Reports ...........39 Townsend, then at the New Mexico College of Agriculture and Mechanical Arts (NMCA & MA). Cockerell casually suggested that he and Townsend exchange positions. Amazingly Townsend agreed. Cockerell spent the years from 1893 to 1900 at Mesilla Park (now Las Cruces) NM.
