  • The Rubiaceae of Ohio
    THE RUBIACEAE OF OHIO EDWARD J. P. HAUSER2 Department of Biological Sciences, Kent State University, Kent, Ohio Eight genera and twenty-seven species, of which six are rare in their distribu- tion, are recognized in this study as constituting a part of Ohio's flora, Galium, represented by fifteen species, is the largest genus. Five other genera, Asperula, Cephalanthus, Mitchella, Sherardia, and Spermacoce, consist of a single species. Asperula odorata L., Diodia virginiana L., and Galium palustre L., are new reports for the state. Typically members of the Rubiaceae in Ohio are herbs with the exception of Cephalanthus occidentalis L., a woody shrub, and Mitchella repens L., an evergreen, trailing vine. In this paper data pertinent to the range, habitat, and distribution of Ohio's species of the Rubiaceae are given. The information was compiled from my examination of approximately 2000 herbarium specimens obtained from seven herbaria located within the state, those of Kent State University, Miami Uni- versity, Oberlin College, The Ohio State University, Ohio Wesleyan University, and University of Cincinnati. Limited collecting and observations in the field during the summers of 1959 through 1962 supplemented herbarium work. In the systematic treatment, dichotomous keys are constructed to the genera and species occurring in Ohio. Following the species name, colloquial names of frequent usage and synonyms as indicated in current floristic manuals are listed. A general statement of the habitat as compiled from labels on herbarium specimens and personal observations is given for each species, as well as a statement of its frequency of occurrence and range in Ohio. An indication of the flowering time follows this information.

The tactical infrastructure proposed to be maintained and repaired consists of existing fences and gates, roads and bridges/crossovers, drainage structures and grates, boat ramps, lighting and ancillary power systems, and communication and surveillance tower components (including Remote Video Surveillance System [RVSS] or Secure Border Initiative [SBInet] towers [henceforth referred to as towers]). The existing tactical infrastructure occurs in five U.S. Border Patrol (USBP) sectors: El Paso, Big Bend, Del Rio, Laredo, and Rio Grande Valley. The Big Bend, Del Rio, Laredo, and Rio Grande Valley sectors are entirely within Texas, while the majority of the El Paso Sector is in New Mexico. Most of the maintenance and repair activities associated with the Proposed Action will occur within 25 miles of the U.S./Mexico international border in Texas. The portion of El Paso Sector in New Mexico is covered in a separate EA that is currently being analyzed and will be available to the public at a later date.

    VASCULAR FLORA OF THE REMNANT BLACKLAND PRAIRIES AND ASSOCIATED VEGETATION OF GEORGIA by STEPHEN LEE ECHOLS, JR. (Under the Direction of Wendy B. Zomlefer) ABSTRACT Blackland prairies are a globally imperiled, rare plant community only recently discovered in central Georgia. A floristic inventory was conducted on six remnant blackland prairie sites within Oaky Woods Wildlife Management Area. The 43 ha site complex yielded 354 taxa in 220 genera and 84 families. Four species new to the state of Georgia were documented. Eight rare species, one candidate for federal listing, and one federally endangered species are reported here as new records for the Oaky Woods WMA vicinity. Twelve plant communities are described. A literature review was performed for six states containing blackland prairie within the Gulf and South Atlantic Coastal Plains of the United States. Geology, soils, and vegetation were compared, and cluster analysis was performed using floristic data to assess similarities.

  • Long-Leaved Bluet Houstonia Longifolia
    Natural Heritage Long-leaved Bluet & Endangered Species Houstonia longifolia (Gaertn.) Program www.mass.gov/nhesp State Status: Endangered Massachusetts Division of Fisheries & Wildlife Federal Status: None DESCRIPTION: Long-leaved Bluet is an herbaceous perennial wildflower of the madder family (Rubiaceae), which inhabits open rocky woods, glades, and ledges. Plants produce rosettes of leaves in the spring from which multiple, usually branching, flowering stems arise. The basal rosettes die back by the time the plant comes into flower in late spring. Stems are 10 to 25 cm (~4–10 in.) tall, four-angled in cross section, and bear opposite, sessile, linear or oblong leaves. The leaves are smooth-edged (lacking teeth or lobes) and 1 to 3 cm (~1/2–1 ¼ in.) long by 3 to 5 mm wide. Clusters of four- lobed pinkish to white flowers are produced at the tops of the stems. The lower portions of the petals are fused into a funnel-shaped tube about 7 mm long; the free portions of the petals are about 2 mm long and bend back (recurve) so they are perpendicular to the tube. Sepals are 1.5 to 2.7 mm. Long-leaved Bluet. The inset shows the flower with a funnel-shaped tube and opposite leaves with their connecting triangular stipule. Illustration: Elizabeth Farnsworth.
