The pantropical weed, Urena lobata L. (Malvaceae) is reported for the first time in Texas. The spread of U. lobata in the U.S.A. and the role of botanic gardens in reducing threats from invasive plants are discussed.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the Botanical Research Institute of Texas, formerly called Sida, Contributions to Botany, publishes research in classical and modern systematic botany—including studies of anatomy, biogeography, chemotaxonomy, ecology, evolution, floristics, genetics, paleobotany, palynology, and phylogenetic systematics. Geographic coverage is global. Articles are published in either English or Spanish; an abstract is provided in both languages. All contributions are peer reviewed and frequently illustrated with maps, line drawings, and full color photographs.
