This list was prepared by combining three species lists from: Committee of Biologists for Preservation of Natural Areas. 11 BP. ltsvi lle Federal Master Plan Area, Biological and Research Values and Recommendations for Land Use Master Planning. 11 Silver Spring, MD. Draft: Dec. 1976 Department of Army. 11 Draft Overall Installation Environmental Impact Statement, Existing Activities and Conditions. 11 The Environmental and Energy Control Office, Fort Geor9e Meade, MD, March 1979. Hotchkiss, Neil and Robert E. Stewart. Vegetation and Vertebrates of the Patuxent Wildlife Research Center: Laurel, MD, Original Edition, July 1947, Revised 1979. The list was developed for use in planning and for general reference in an 8 l / 2 x 11 format . Because we would like this list to be as up-to-date as possible, please review this draft and make any corrections or copies you think are necessary. We would like to finalize the draft and make it available for use by the end of January. Comments and corrections can be sent to the section of Planning and Development, attn: Kheryn. Thank yo help and expertise. Attachment PRELIMINARY SPECIES LIST PATUXENT WILDLIFE RESEARCH CENTER AND VICINITY CONTENTS Note Species Lists Vascular Plants Insects Butterflies and Moths Fishes Amphibians and Reptiles Birds Mammals References Note This presence/absence species list was assembled from three primary sources, listed at the end. Although initial survey work was conducted by Hotchkiss and Stewart, portions of what is now PWRC were not covered. The other two references presumably help to cover this potential gap. Adjacent to each species name, the abbreviated name of the source is given. For example: Spotted Salamander (Ambystoma maculatum) PA, FM, BE PA, FM, BE indicates that this salamander was found in each of the three species lists abbreviated as follows: PA - Patuxent Wildlife Research Center FM - Fort George Meade BE - Beltsville Federal Master Plan VASCULAR PLANTS POLYPODIACEAE Polypody (Polypodium virqinianum) PA Braken (Pteridium aquilinum var. latiusculum) PA Net-vein chain fern (Woodwardia areolata) PA Virginia chain fern (Woodwardia virginica) PA Ebony spleenwort (Asplenium platyneuron) PA Lady Fern (Athyrium filix-femina) PA Silvery spleenwort (Athyrium thelypteroides) PA Christmas fern (Polystichum acrostichoides) PA Crested fern (Dryopteris cristata) PA Beech fern (Dryopteris hexagonptera) PA Marginal wood fern (Dryopteris marginalis) PA New York fern (Dryopteris noveboracensis) PA Massachusetts fern (Dryopteris simulata) PA Spinulose wood fern (Dryopteris spinulosa var. intermedia) PA Maidenhair fern (Adiantum pedatum) PA Marsh fern (Dryopteris thelypteris) PA Hay-scented fern (Dennstaedtia punctilobula) PA Sensitive fern (Onoclea sensibilis) PA OSMUNDACEAE Cinnamon fern (Osmunda cinnamomea) PA Interrupted fern (Osmunda claytoniana) PA Royal fern (Osmunda regalis var. spectabilis) PA OPHIOGLOSSACEAE Adders-tongue fern (Ophioglossum vulgatum) PA Grape fern (Botrychium dissectum) PA Rattlesnake fern (Botrychium virginianum) PA EQUISETACEAE Horsetail (Equisetum arvense) PA LYCOPODIACEAE Running-pine (Lycopodium clavatum) PA Common ground-cedar (Lycopodium complanatum) PA Marsh clubmoss (Lycopodium inundatum) PA Shining c1ubmoss (Lycopodium lucidulum) PA Tree clubmoss (Lycopodium obscurum) PA Slender ground-cedar (Lycopodium tristachyum) PA SELAGINELLACEAE Creeping Selaginella (Selaginella apoda) PA ISOETACEAE Quillwort (lsoetes engelmanni) PA PINACEAE Hemlock (Tsuga canadensis) PA Shortleaf pine (Pinus echinata) PA Pitch pine (Pinus riqida) PA White pine (Pinus strobus) PA Loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) PA Virginia pine (Pinus virqiniana) PA Red-cedar (Juniperus virqiniana) PA TYPHACEAE Common cattail (.1YI2M latifolia) PA Narrow-leaved cattail (.1YI2M angustifolia) PA SPARGANIACEAE Bur-reed (Sparganium americanum) PA NAJADACEAE (Potamogeton pusillus) PA (Potamogeton diversifolius) PA Ribbonleaf pondweed (Potamoqeton epihydrus) PA Slender naiad (Na,ias qracillima) PA Southern naiad (Na,ias quadalupensis) PA Floatingleaf pondweed (Potamogeton natans) PA Handsome pondweed (Potamogeton pulcher) PA ALISMACEAE Broadleaf arrowhead (Saqittaria latifolia) PA Hairy arrowhead (Saqittaria pubescens) PA Slender arrowhead (Saqittaria graminea var. weatherbiana) PA Water arrowhead (Saqittaria subulata) PA Water-plantain (Alisma plantago-aguatica) PA HYDROCHARITACEAE Common elodea (Elodea canadensis, nuttallii form) PA Wild-celery (Vallisneria americana) PA GRAMINEAE Plume-grass (Erianthus qiqanteus) PA Elliott beardgrass (Andropogon elliottii) PA Bushy beardgrass (Andropogon glomeratus) PA Little Bluestem (Andropogon scoparius) PA Broomsedge (Andropoqon virqinicus) PA Indian grass(Sorghastrum nutans) PA Finger-grass (Diqitaria filiformis) PA Smooth crabgrass (Diqitaria ischaemum) PA Hairy crabgrass (Diqitaria sanquinalis) PA (Paspalum laeve) PA (Paspalum ciliatifolium var. muhlenberqii) PA (Paspalum setaceum) PA (Panicum aqrostoides) PA (Panicum anceps) PA (Panicum boscii) PA Common witch-grass (Panicum capillare) PA Deer-tongue grass (Panicum clandestinum) PA (Panicum columbianum) PA (Panicum commutatum) PA (Panicum depauperatum) PA Fall panicum (Panicum dichotomiflorum) PA (Panicum dichotomum) PA Gattinger witch-grass (Panicum gattingeri) PA (Panicum lindheimeri) PA (Panicum longifolium) PA (Panicum lucidum) PA (Panicum meridionale) PA (Panicum microcarpon) PA Philadelphia witch-grass (Panicum philadelphicum) PA (Panicum polyanthes) PA Velvet panicum (Panicum scoparium) PA (Panicum sphaerocarpon) PA (Panicum stipitatum) PA (Panicum lanuqinosum) PA Warty panicum (Panicum verrucosum) PA (Panicum villosissimum) PA Switch grass (Panicum virgatum) PA Wild-millet (Echinochloa crusgalli) PA (Setaria faberii) PA (Setaria geniculata) PA Yellow bristle-grass (Setaria glauca) PA Green bristle-grass (Setaria viridis) PA Sandbur (Cenchrus longispinus) PA Wild-rice (Zizania aguatica) PA Asiatic wild-rice (Zizania latifolia) PA Rice cut-grass (Leersia oryzoides) PA White grass (Leersia virqinica) PA Vernal-grass (Anthoxanthum odoratum) PA Needle grass (Stipa avenacea) PA (Aristida dichotoma) PA (Aristida longespica) PA (Aristida oligantha) PA (Aristida purpurascens) PA Wirestem muhly (Muhlenbergia frondosa) PA Nimble-will (Muhlenbergia schreberi) PA Forest muhly (Muhlenberqia sylvatica) PA (Brachyelytrum erectum) PA Timothy (Phleum pratense).
