Nama arizonica R.A. Crawford & G. Rink (Namaceae) is a novel Nama, restricted to Coconino and Navajo cos, northern Arizona. Previously, these plants have been determined as N. dichotoma (Ruiz & Pav.) Choisy, to which it may be most closely related, though it has morphological similarities to N. hispida as well. We present images of plants in the field, seeds, vestiture, and chromosomes.
Nama arizonica R.A. Crawford & G. Rink(Namaceae)是一种新的 Nama,仅限于亚利桑那州北部的 Coconino 和 Navajo cos。以前,这些植物被确定为 N. dichotoma (Ruiz & Pav.) Choisy,虽然它与 N. hispida 在形态上也有相似之处,但它可能与 N. dichotoma 关系最为密切。我们展示了田间植物、种子、绒毛和染色体的图像。

This review aims to summarize information critical to the conservation of the federally listed endangered species of South Texas, which occur along the border of Texas and Mexico. This paper describes the characteristics, habitat, population status, distribution, life history, threats, and restoration of endangered plant species of the Lower Rio Grande Valley, Texas, which includes Cameron, Willacy, Hildago, and Starr County. Seven federally listed species are considered including Ambrosia cheiranthifolia, Asclepias prostrata, Astrophytum asterias, Ayenia limitaris, Manihot walkerae, Lesquerella thamnophila (syn. Physaria thamnophila), and Thymophylla tephroleuca. An eighth species, Physostegia correllii is under consideration for federal listing by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. This paper assembles information on the background, biological status, major threats, and conservation to aid managers and the scientific community in restoring and managing these species.

Plant collectors and enthusiasts are attracted to cacti and succulents in part because of their showy flowers in comparison to body size for many species. For example, the cactus genus Mammillaria, among others, is often found in cactus collections. Nevertheless, this human attraction for the collection and growing of cacti has led to an extensive illegal trade of cacti well documented in this book. Cacti over collecting coupled with the fact that 31%, or about1500 cacti species, are considered threatened, results in harvesting pressure that creates environmental concerns for the preservation of these plants. Margulies’s book raises awareness to the problem of cactus collection, trading, and selling both legally and illegally.

As part of ongoing work on the Flora of the Southeastern United States (Weakley & Southeastern Flora Team 2023) and related projects, as well as for general floristic, conservation, and scientific work in eastern North America, it is essential to document taxonomic and nomenclatural changes and significant distribution records. Here, we propose six new species of graminoids (two Rhynchospora, three Dichanthelium, and one Anatherum)—five from fire-maintained pine savannas and embedded wetlands of the southeastern Coastal Plain and one from the floristically and ecologically related fire-maintained pine savannas of North Andros Island in The Bahamas. We provide rationale and documentation for the “taxonomic resurrection” of Vaccinium ashei, an economically important member of Vaccinium sect. Cyanococcus, based on morphology, estimation of ploidy level with flow cytometry, and phylogenomic analysis based on high-throughput DNA sequencing. We make four new combinations in Convolvulus to accommodate the inclusion of Calystegia in Convolvulus to resolve paraphyly. We also make six new combinations necessary to recognize sect. Leptopogon of Andropogon at generic rank, as Anatherum, based on the phylogenetic work of other researchers and the previously incomplete transfer of recognized species to Anatherum, providing the needed names to recognize this group of species in genus Anatherum in North American floristic treatments. We document the surprising discovery of Carex lutea, previously believed to be endemic to two counties in eastern North Carolina, in two counties in the panhandle of Florida, and a county in eastern South Carolina—discoveries aided by iNaturalist and Facebook. We document new states as being within the distribution ranges of additional species: Quercus similis (Florida), Juncus brachycephalus (Arkansas and Missouri), Rhexia mariana var. mariana (Ohio), Asarum acuminatum and Elionurus tripsacoides (Alabama), and Mecardonia procumbens (Georgia). Other important distributional records, many representing rediscoveries of conservationally significant, extant populations of plants previously considered of only historical occurrence in a state, are also reported: Alabama (Arnica acaulis, Asclepias connivens, Berberis canadensis, Bulbostylis warei, Ctenodon viscidulus, Parnassia grandifolia, and Pinguicula pumila) and Georgia and Florida (Lobelia boykinii).
作为正在进行的《美国东南部植物志》(Weakley & Southeastern Flora Team 2023)和相关项目工作的一部分,以及北美东部的一般植物学、保护和科学工作,记录分类学和命名法的变化以及重要的分布记录至关重要。在此,我们提出了六个禾本科植物新种(两个Rhynchospora、三个Dichanthelium和一个Anatherum)--其中五个来自东南沿海平原的火烧松稀树稀树草原和嵌入湿地,一个来自巴哈马北安德罗斯岛的花卉和生态相关的火烧松稀树稀树草原。我们为越橘的 "分类复活 "提供了理论依据和文献资料,越橘在经济上是越橘科越橘属的重要成员。我们基于形态学、流式细胞仪对倍性水平的估计以及基于高通量 DNA 测序的系统发生组分析,为 Vaccinium ashei(一种经济上重要的越橘科越橘属植物)的 "分类复活 "提供了理论依据。我们在旋花科(Convolvulus)中建立了四个新的组合,以适应将 Calystegia 纳入旋花科以解决旁系问题的需要。我们还进行了 6 个必要的新组合,以识别 Andropulus 的 Leptopogon 科。我们还根据其他研究人员的系统发育工作以及之前未完成的 Anatherum 已确认物种的转移工作,将 Andropogon 的 Leptopogon 科确认为 Anatherum 属,并提供了所需的名称,以便在北美植物学处理中确认 Anatherum 属中的这组物种。我们记录了在 iNaturalist 和 Facebook 的帮助下意外发现的 Carex lutea(以前认为是北卡罗来纳州东部两个县的特有种)、佛罗里达州泛滨地区的两个县以及南卡罗来纳州东部的一个县。我们记录了位于其他物种分布范围内的新州:mariana var. mariana (Ohio), Asarum acuminatum and Elionurus tripsacoides (Alabama), and Mecardonia procumbens (Georgia).此外,还报告了其他重要的分布记录,其中许多记录代表了对具有保护意义的植物的重新发现,这些植物的现存种群以前被认为只是在某个州的历史上出现过:阿拉巴马州(山金车、Asclepias connivens、加拿大小檗、Bulbostylis warei、Ctenodon viscidulus、Parnassia grandifolia 和 Pinguicula pumila)以及佐治亚州和佛罗里达州(Lobelia boykinii)。

Astragalus endopterus (Barneby) Barneby, listed as an extinct species in a recent Conservation Biology paper (Knapp et al. 2021) was found in abundance after three hours of targeted searching. Continued searches revealed thousands of plants. Our work has doubled the known range of the species. Astragalus endopterus seems to mostly occur on sheetwash deposits composed of particles derived mostly from windblown sands along with a component of clay probably derived from the Chinle Formation. We have no indications that the species may have been in decline or was ever on the verge of extinction.

Mozambique is a country located in southeastern Africa bordered by the Indian Ocean to the east Tanzania to the north, Malawi and Zambia to the northwest, Zimbabwe to the west, and Eswatini and South Africa to the southwest. A colored map on page 12 shows the location of the country. There are 53 families and 153 genera included in the descriptions and illustrations. The species names are given in English and Portuguese. Each taxon is represented by one description page and one color illustration page. Species descriptions are in both English and Portuguese organized by DISTRIBUTION, HABITAT, USES, and NOTES. This book will have limited use outside of the geographical area of emphasis. The Glossary, Bibliography, Index of Local Names, and General Index add value to book usage.
