Abstract
ABSTRACT We have compiled data on 15 taxa (5 woody and 10 herbaceous) as established (9 taxa) or adventive-waif species (6 taxa) in Maryland (2 taxa) and Virginia (13 taxa) that are not considered definitive elements of each state's extant flora. The woody taxa are Acer ginnala, Corylus avellana, Pyrus betulifolia, Tilia cordata, and Vaccinium virgatum. The herbs include Crocus tommasinianus, Daucus pusillus, Dracocephalum parviflorum, Euphorbia mercurialina, Indigofera hirsuta, Opuntia engelmanni var. lindheimeri, Pilea microphylla, Polycarpon tetraphyllum, Saxifraga stolonifera, and Silene flos-cuculi spp. flos-cuculi. We provide updated taxonomic information, range clarifications, supplemental habitat data, and other details about our voucher specimens and other collections.
期刊介绍:
Castanea is named in honor of the American Chestnut tree. Castanea is thebotanical name for Chestnuts, dating back to what the ancient Greeks calledthem.
The American Chestnut is a critically endangered tree that once made up 35%of the forests of the Eastern US before being devastated by a blight thatdestroyed up to 4 billion American Chestnut trees.
Castanea serves professional and amateur botanists by reviewing andpublishing scientific papers related to botany in the Eastern United States.
We accept papers relating to plant biology, biochemistry, ecology, floristics,physiology and systematics.
