84. Non-Flowering Plant Families, UH Botany general description of this family of terrestrial, herbaceous, homosporous vascular plants, comprising a single genus with about 15 species. Includes photos of several Equisetum species. http://www.botany.hawaii.edu/faculty/carr/equiset.htm

Equisetaceae Each "thumbnail" image below is linked to a larger photograph. Equisetum arvense , horsetail. This species normally has the strobilus borne on short, non-green, ephemeral shoots that appear early in the growing season. The green shoots develop later, by which time the fertile shoots usually have wilted. In this population, an aberrant green shoot with a developing strobilus was found long after the normal non-green fertile shoots had senesced. Equisetum hyemale , scouring rush. Whorls of leaves and the terminal strobilus are clearly visible. The amber colored umbrellalike sporangiophores are evident and a few pendulous pale yellowish sporangia are partially visible. Equisetum telmateia , giant horsetail, vic. Newport, OR, 2002. Equisetum x schaffneri (E. giganteum x E. myriophyllum) , horsetail or scouring rush. Note whorled branches. The stems are ribbed and are hollow except at the jointed nodes. Cells in the stem may be silicified or glasslike, contributing to the utility of the stems in scouring pots and pans, a quality that was exploited by pioneers in western North America.

86. Eurasian Watermilfoil (Myriophyllum Spicatum) - A Noxious Aquatic Weed In Washin general Information about Eurasian Watermilfoil. The sheer mass of plants can cause flooding and the stagnant mats can create good habitat for mosquitoes. http://www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/wq/plants/weeds/milfoil.html

Washington State Department of Ecology Water Quality Home General Information about Eurasian Watermilfoil Eurasian watermilfoil ( Myriophyllum spicatum follow this link to see where it is located in Washington ). It is very apparent that milfoil has been spread from lake to lake on boat trailers. Growth Habit Because it is widely distributed and difficult to control, milfoil is considered to be the most problematic plant in Washington. The introduction of milfoil can drastically alter a waterbody's ecology. Milfoil forms very dense mats of vegetation on the surface of the water. These mats interfere with recreational activities such as swimming, fishing, water skiing, and boating In eastern Washington milfoil interferes with power generation and irrigation by clogging water intakes. The sheer mass of plants can cause flooding and the stagnant mats can create good habitat for mosquitoes. Milfoil mats can rob oxygen from the water by preventing the wind from mixing the oxygenated surface waters to deeper water. The dense mats of vegetation can also increase the sedimentation rate by trapping sediments. Milfoil also starts spring growth sooner than native aquatic plants and can shade out these beneficial plants. When milfoil invades new territory, typically the species diversity of aquatic plants declines. While some species of waterfowl will eat milfoil, it is not considered to be a good food source.

88. Hydrilla (Hydrilla Verticillata) - A Noxious Aquatic Weed In Washington general Information About Hydrilla. Unlike other problem aquatic plants, like Brazilian elodea, that reproduce only by fragmentation, hydrilla spreads by seeds http://www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/wq/plants/weeds/hydrilla.html

Washington State Department of Ecology Water Quality Home General Information About Hydrilla Hydrilla ( Hydrilla verticillata is considered the most problematic aquatic plant in the United States. This plant is native to Africa, Australia, and parts of Asia but was introduced to Florida in 1960 via the aquarium trade. In the 1990s hydrilla is now well-established in the southern states where control and management costs millions of dollars each year. Florida spent $56 million dollars for hydrilla control during a ten-year period and, during this time, the acreage of hydrilla doubled. On the West Coast, hydrilla has been introduced into California and Washington. California has an eradication policy for hydrilla infestations because hydrilla can severely impact water delivery systems. The Washington hydrilla infestation, discovered in 1995, is the only known occurrence of hydrilla in the Pacific Northwest and eradication efforts are ongoing. Growth Habit Hydrilla forms dense mats of vegetation that interfere with recreation and destroy fish and wildlife habitat. Unlike other problem aquatic plants, like Brazilian elodea, that reproduce only by fragmentation, hydrilla spreads by seeds, tubers, plant fragments, and turions (overwintering buds). One square meter of hydrilla can produce 5,000 tubers. Once hydrilla becomes established, it is readily spread by waterfowl and boating activities.

90. General Information On California's Coastal Plants Flowering plants are the largest of these, in terms of the total number of these groups are distinguished on the basis of three general characteristics type http://ceres.ca.gov/ceres/calweb/coastal/plants/general.html

California's Coastal Plant Communities T hirty per cent of the state's native plant species are found only in California. These are called endemics. Common endemic plants include many species of manzanita and monkeyflower. A striking feature of the California flora is the mix of evolutionary "young" and "old" species. Tree species such as coast redwood, which date back millions of years, provide a glimpse into the primordial past, whereas species of tarweed, are of recent origin, perhaps only a few thousand years old. B otanists divide the plant kingdom into several major morphological groups. Flowering plants are the largest of these, in terms of the total number of species they contribute to the plant kingdom, but the other, smaller groups are equally important. These include conifers, ferns and their allies, mosses, and algae. All of these groups are distinguished on the basis of three general characteristics: type of vascular tissue differentiationpresence or absence of special vascular cells called xylem and phloem that are essential for transport of water and nutrients within the plant; their overall morphological organizationpresence or absence of roots, stems, and leaves; and their reproductive organspresence or absence of cones, flowers, or other structures. P lants are also classified by where they grow. The number and kinds of species found in a particular place are the result of complex interactions between different species, and between the plants and the physical environment. Such ecological assemblages of species are called plant communities. Some communities, such as the coastal strand, are relatively simple, consisting of a few plants adapted to a highly specialized environment. In contrast, grasslands and forests are extremely complex; hundreds of species coexist through a dynamic ecological balance. Ecologists recognize as many as 80 different plant communities constituting what is known as the California Floristic Province. Eleven of these communities, of which five are tree communities, are represented along the California coast.

TOWNSVILLE BRANCH Townsville Branch is the oldest of the existing Society for Growing Australian Plants (SGAP) Branches formed in Queensland. On 25th June 1970, the Townsville Group of SGAP was formed with assistance from the Townsville Branch of the Australasian Native Orchid Society. Seventeen members joined this new Group, which soon went from strength to strength. First Chairman was John Donohue (now also Townsville's first Honorary Life Member) and Secretary was Arthur Chapman. Over the years Townsville Branch members have been very active in the field of publishing information about native plants.The first effort, a modest booklet, Native Plants for the Townsville Area, was published in 1972, and was to be an inspiration for other Branches in later years. In 1975, in conjunction with Australian Plants magazine, Australian Plants for Townsville was produced. This was followed in 1987 by Gardening in the Dry Tropics, compiled by Leigh Weakley. The next few years saw several small booklets, Quick Reference Guide to Australian Plants for North Queensland Gardens, Quick Reference Guide to Australian Plants for the Tropics and Growing Australian. In 1994, they published another book, Across the Top - Gardening with Australian Plants in the Tropics, a quality book, ground breaking for the tropics, listing some 1400 species and including gardening chapters specifically aimed at the problems confronted by gardeners in the dry tropics. It was compiled by Keith Townsend, as was another in 1997, Field Guide to Plants of the Dry Tropics, a delightful book featuring colour images of many very common tropical species.

97. Tidal Wetland Ecology Of Long Island Sound An introduction to tidal wetland communities around Long Island including salt marshes. You'll find a general description of salt marsh ecology, the plants and animals, and the relationships betweeen them. http://camel2.conncoll.edu/ccrec/greennet/arbo/publications/34/CHP3A.HTM

Tidal Wetland Ecology of Long Island Sound (Part 1) Part 2 Part 3 R. Scott Warren, Professor of Botany, Paul E. Fell, Katherine Blunt Professor of Zoology, Connecticut College W etlands are transitional zones between terrestrial and aquatic systems where the water table is usually at or near the surface, or the land is actually covered by water either permanently or periodically. Wetlands typically support hydrophytes (plants adapted to wetland conditions) and the substrate is hydric (wet) mineral and/or organic soil that is usually poor to very poorly drained. Tidal wetlands occur at the land/ocean interface where daily tidal action moves water in and out of the systems. Along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of the United States, tidal wetlands are found from northern Maine to southern Texas. From all but the southern tip of Florida, where mangrove swamps occur, these coastal wetlands are tidal marshes, where grasses are the predominant vegetation. Long Island Sound marshes are technically classified as Estuarine Emergent Wetlands, because the Sound is an estuary, and the vegetation emerges above the water level. Tidal Wetlands as Estuarine Ecosystems Although these wetlands have a north-south range of over 2,000 kilometers (1,200 miles), Atlantic and Gulf tidal wetlands are remarkably homogeneous in their plant and animal communities. The basic physical and biological structure of these communities comes from a few species of Cord-grass in the genus Spartina, particularly Smooth Cord-grass (

98. CTTC - Edible Landscaping For Tortoises essential nutrients. In their native environments they will browse freely among the many types of plants they encounter. This article http://www.tortoise.org/general/edibplan.html

Tortuga Gazette 28(1): 6-7, January 1992 Edible Landscaping for Tortoises by Mary Cohen The successful keeping of tortoises involves offering a wide variety of foods to promote healthy appetites and provide essential nutrients. In their native environments they will browse freely among the many types of plants they encounter. This article will explore some of the readily available plant species which many tortoises consume with gusto. Landscaping with plants which provide food and shelter for tortoises is not difficult. Many suitable plants are very ornamental and are adaptable to a wide range of climates, and many can be grown in containers. Please bear in mind that this article is being written in Southern California with its' climate as the basis for descriptions of plant performance. Since the readership of the Tortuga Gazette is both national and international, local conditions will vary greatly. For instance, the Tropical Hibiscus will freeze and not recover in localities in which the temperature drops below 30° F (-1° C) for extended periods. In such localities, gardeners may treat the plant as an annual, setting out fresh plants each spring. In addition it is important to remember that plants destined for consumption by chelonians should be free of residues from pesticides, fungicides or herbicides. Very little information exists on the effects of these powerful chemicals on "cold blooded" animals; therefore, it is wise to be scrupulous in avoiding the exposure of your tortoises to these substances. Granular (pellet) fertilizers are also potentially dangerous and should not be used in areas in which tortoises live and/or graze. Snail bait is extremely toxic and should be rigorously avoided.

California Turtle and Tortoise Club Poisonous Plant List Many common plants are toxic and keepers must make sure that their herbivorous chelonians are kept away from them. A simple step to take to minimize the risks to your turtles and tortoises is to learn the names of all the plants in your home and yard so that you can prevent any untoward contact with poisonous plants. If you are unable to identify specific plants your local nursery may be able to identify them for you. Be sure to note the correct spellings of both the common and the botanical names, and keep a list of the names for future use. If you do take plants to your nursery for identification be sure to take a sufficient sample that represents the plant as a whole. The following list is based on CTTC's poison plant list as published in the Tortuga Gazette 28(1): 8-10, January 1992 with periodic updates as more data becomes available. The list itself was based on the University of California Irvine, Regional Poison Center list of plants that are toxic or potentially toxic to humans. They recognize four levels of toxicity, indicated by a number following the plant name, and the four levels are explained at the end of the article. Note that the treatments recommended are for humans. Use your own best judgment in applying them to your pets. Initially, be sure to remove any remaining parts of the plant from the mouth. If any symptoms of abnormal behavior or signs of irritation in the mouth occur, seek prompt medical attention.
