  • Japanese Hop Humulus Japonicus
    Weed of the Week Japanese Hop Humulus japonicus Native Origin: E. Asia - Japan, China Description: Japanese Hop is an annual twining, climbing, trailing or prostrate vine with 5-lobed leaves and stems with prickles in the Hemp family (Cannabaceae). Leaves are approximately 2 to 4 inches in length and deeply divided into 5 distinct palmate lobes with separate margins and rough surface. Bracts occur at the base of the leaf petioles. Bracts occur where the leaf petioles attach to the stem. The down-curved bracts and sharp prickles help to identify this plant. Individual flowers are relatively inconspicuous, without petals, and green in color. Flowers occur in clusters with lengths approx. 2”. Habitat: Perennial climber hardy to zone 5 and is not frost tender. The plant prefers light (sandy), medium (loamy) and heavy (clay) soils. The plant grows acid, neutral or basic (alkaline) soils. It can grow in semi-shade (light woodland) or no shade. It requires moist soil and will grow in forests, sunny forest edge, and shaded areas. Distribution: This species is reported from states shaded on Plants Database map. It is reported invasive in CT, DC, DE, IN, MD, PA, and VA. Ecological Impacts: Vines are covered with hooked hairs which makes working with them painful. Dermatitis and blistering may occur when working with these plants, use appropriate protection (gloves, etc.). When forming dense stands, this invasive plant can out-compete native vegetation. Control and Management: • Manual- The plants should be pull plants before seeds set (they flower August– September); remove as much of the rootstock as possible.

  • Humulus Japonicus Sieb. & Zucc
    Humulus japonicus Sieb. & Zucc. Common Names: Japanese hops Etymology: Humulus is a Latin name of uncertain origin; it may have come from the Low German word “humela” for hop. “Japonicus” means of or belonging to Japan (6). Botanical synonyms: Humulus scandens (Louriero.) Merrill. FAMILY: Cannabaceae, the Hemp Family (also called Cannabidaceae, Cannabiaceae, and Cannabinaceae). Quick Notable Features: ¬ dioecious plant with opposite leaves ¬ small, white staminate flowers and pistillate flowers arranged in pairs in aments ¬ aggressively twining with the apical part of the plant Plant Height: Annual stems of up to 10m, usually 0.5m to 2.5m Subspecies/varieties recognized: none found Most Likely Confused with: Humulus lupulus and Rubus spp., Echinocystis lobata. Distinguished by: This species is similar in appearance, and keys closely, to the related Humulus lupulus. They differ in that H. japonicus is 5-7 lobed and has stiff hairs on the main veins while H. lupulus is 3(to 5) lobed with only soft hairs on leaf undersurfaces. H. lupulus also has a petiole that is shorter than its leaf blade, while H. japonicus has a petiole as long or longer than the leaf blade. The leaves are similar to Echinocystis lobata, a member of the Cucurbitaceae, but the axlillary tendrils on Echinocystis are not found in Humulus, and the presence of downward prickles is only founding Humulus japonicus. It may be confused with 1 Rubus spp. due to similar leaves, but Humulus leaves are opposite, while the Rubus species leaves are alternate. Habitat Preference: Found along “roadsides, waste places and fence-rows” (1). Geographic Distribution in Michigan: found in Cass, Washtenaw, Wayne, and St.

  • Checklist of the Washington Baltimore Area
    Annotated Checklist of the Vascular Plants of the Washington - Baltimore Area Part I Ferns, Fern Allies, Gymnosperms, and Dicotyledons by Stanwyn G. Shetler and Sylvia Stone Orli Department of Botany National Museum of Natural History 2000 Department of Botany, National Museum of Natural History Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC 20560-0166 ii iii PREFACE The better part of a century has elapsed since A. S. Hitchcock and Paul C. Standley published their succinct manual in 1919 for the identification of the vascular flora in the Washington, DC, area. A comparable new manual has long been needed. As with their work, such a manual should be produced through a collaborative effort of the region’s botanists and other experts. The Annotated Checklist is offered as a first step, in the hope that it will spark and facilitate that effort. In preparing this checklist, Shetler has been responsible for the taxonomy and nomenclature and Orli for the database. We have chosen to distribute the first part in preliminary form, so that it can be used, criticized, and revised while it is current and the second part (Monocotyledons) is still in progress. Additions, corrections, and comments are welcome. We hope that our checklist will stimulate a new wave of fieldwork to check on the current status of the local flora relative to what is reported here. When Part II is finished, the two parts will be combined into a single publication. We also maintain a Web site for the Flora of the Washington-Baltimore Area, and the database can be searched there (http://www.nmnh.si.edu/botany/projects/dcflora).

  • A Phylogenetic Effect on Strontium Concentrations in Angiosperms Neil Willey ∗, Kathy Fawcett
    Environmental and Experimental Botany 57 (2006) 258–269 A phylogenetic effect on strontium concentrations in angiosperms Neil Willey ∗, Kathy Fawcett Centre for Research in Plant Science, Faculty of Applied Sciences, University of the West of England, Frenchay, Bristol BS16 1QY, UK Received 21 February 2005; accepted 8 June 2005 Abstract A Residual Maximum Likelihood (REML) procedure was used to compile Sr concentrations in 103 plant species from experiments with Sr concentrations in 66 plant species from the literature. There were 14 species in common between experiments and the literature. The REML procedure loge-transformed data and removed absolute differences in Sr concentrations arising from soil factors and exposure times to estimate mean relative Sr concentrations for 155 species. One hundred and forty-two species formed a group with a normal frequency distribution in mean relative Sr concentration. A nested hierarchical analysis of variance (ANOVA) based on the most recent molecular phylogeny of the angiosperms showed that plant species do not behave independently for Sr concentration but that there is a significant phylogenetic effect on mean relative Sr concentrations. Concentrations of Sr in non-Eudicots were significantly less than in Eudicots and there were significant effects on Sr concentrations in the dataset down the phylogenetic hierarchy to the family level. Of the orders in the dataset the Cucurbitales, Lamiales, Saxifragales and Ranunculales had particularly high Sr concentrations and the Liliales, Poales, Myrtales and Fabales particularly low Sr concentrations. Mean relative Sr concentrations in 60 plant species correlated with those reported elsewhere for Ca in the same species, and the frequency distribution and some phylogenetic effects on Sr concentration in plants were similar to those reported for Ca.

  • Vol. 1 No. 40 (Rev.). Approved 05/26/2017 Vegetation Management Guideline Japanese Hops (Humulus Japonicus Sieb. & Zucc.) S
    Vol. 1 No. 40 (Rev.). Approved 05/26/2017 Vegetation Management Guideline Japanese Hops (Humulus japonicus Sieb. & Zucc.) Species Character DESCRIPTION Japanese hops (Humulus japonicus) is a rapidly growing annual, or in rare instances a short-lived perennial, herbaceous vine with stems that climb or trail along the ground and have small down-turned prickles. The leaves are opposite, 5 - 12.5 cm (2 - 5 inches) in length and palmately divided into 5 - 9 lobes that gradually taper to a point. The leaf margins have small forward pointing teeth. The leaves, like the stems, have rough, down-turned hairs that may cause dermatitis in sensitive individuals. Petioles are often as long, or longer than, the leaf blade. Down-turned bracts occur where the leaf petioles attach to the stem. The species is dioecious with staminate and pistillate flowers occurring on separate plants. The staminate inflorescence is erect and 15 - 25 cm (6 - 10 inches) in length. The pistillate inflorescence is a dull-green, cone-shaped spike, 7 - 12 mm (1/4 - 1/2 inch) long with dense hairs at the margins of the bractioles. Pistillate flowers are petalless and greenish. The fruit, an achene, is a yellow-brown color, 4 - 5 mm (1/8 - 3/16 inch) in length and ovoid-orbicular in shape. SIMILAR SPECIES Japanese hops can be confused with native hops (Humulus lupulus), bur cucumber (Echinocytis lobata) and grapes (Vitis spp.). Native hops are a perennial herbaceous vine with 3-lobed, or sometimes unlobed leaves, that are rounded at the tip and have resinous glands beneath. The petiole of native hops is shorter than the leaf blade.
