JAIME HINTON: LETTER FROM A RABID PLANT COLLECTOR IN MEXICO 
Billie L. Turner 
Department of Botany, University of Texas, Austin, Texas 78713 U.S.A. 


ABSTRACT 


Excerpts of a letter from Jaime Hinton to B.L. Turner are repro- 
duced to illustrate some recent plant collecting experiences in México. 


KEY WORDS: México, plant collecting, Hinton 


The literature is replete with accounts of early plant collectors in North 
America, especially México, along with their trials and tribulations (e.g., 
Berlandier 1805-1851; Seemann 1825-1871; Pringle 1838-1911; etc.). Indeed, 
George B. Hiriton (1882-1943), the father of Jaime Hinton whose exploits are 
touted here, was a renowned collector of Mexican plants; much of the senior 
Hinton’s activity has been chronicled by Hinton & Rzedowski (1972; J. Arnold 
Arb. 53:141-181). 

These early Mexican collectors were an unusual breed, often risking (and 
sometimes losing!) their lives in the hope or realization that their discoveries 
in the field might enrich all of botanical science, to say nothing of the long-time 
legacy of their exploits, resulting eponymy, or whatever. In those bygone days 
when practically every plant collection stood at least a fifty-fifty chance of 
being undescribed, the impetus for collecting in remote, previously unvisited 
areas, must have been irresistible to many, if not most. 

But what about modern collectors? Have they outlived the perils of collect- 
ing, the sense adventure and discovery that accompanies the field worker on 
a sortie to some out-of-the-way site (albeit only 10-50 kilometers along a dirt 
road from some paved major highway)? Obviously not, to judge by a recent 
letter written to me by Jaime Hinton, giving an account of his and his son’s 
attempt to collect in the remote mountainous regions of Nuevo Leon, México. 
One might argue that “the hunt” of present day collectors has never been more 
exciting, simply because what is expected in the way of novelties is drastically 
reduced. Thus the reward of discovery is vastly enhanced, not to mention the 
knowledge and sense of intellectual responsibility that the educated, environ- 
mentally informed collector must feel as he treads the few remaining wilderness

areas looking for a last survivor of man’s pernicious onslaught upon pristine 
habitats, most of this brought on by the senseless rampant reproduction of 
mankind and the consumptive consumerism that accompanies such activity, a 
consumption eating at the well springs of biodiversity everywhere. 

George Hinton, his son Jaime and his grandson George represent ‘three 
generations of plant collectors in Mexico, all avid students of that nation’s 
flora. I never met the deceased member of this trio, but I know personally and 
correspond erratically with the second and third generations, both zealous 
collectors like their forefather George. Since this “introduction” is largely 
meant to accompany excerpts from a letter written by Jaime, I will digress here 
to attempt some encapsulation of Jaime Hinton’s physiognomy, personality, 
character, and style. 

Jaime is a wiry, resilient man about 5 feet 10 inches tall with the gait 
of a western cowhand, what with his certain, unobtrusive, strides and his 
ambience of belonging to his particular territory. A Mexican citizen, but of 
British parents, green-eyed and greying at the temples, he first walked up to 
me wearing a large Tarascan sombrero and a wisp of smile, extending his hand, 
“Prof. Turner, I assume,” eyeing my newly married quite lovely wife Gayle (25 
years or more younger than either of us) as if she might be a remarkable flower 
to be plucked precariously off some Mexican bluff given the odd discovery, 
wherever. Good sensible man, I thought, excellent tastes. And, later, settling 
down as his guest at Rancho Aguililla, I marveled at his conversational abilities 
about plants, architecture, peoples, commerce, and world affairs. He was a 
consummate scholar and litterateur, and as to bearing he reminded me right 
off as a protagonist from one of John Huston’s westerns, “Treasure of the 
Sierra Madre”, perhaps. Whatever; I was enthralled. Later my wife said, “An 
attractive man, Jaime”, I knew then that his peripheral glances were properly 
catalogued. 

The day after our first meeting Jaime insisted that the two of us take 
a short field trip to the mountains east of Cerro Potosi. He took off in his 
souped-up Ford at 100 plus miles per hour. Truly, the fastest I’d ever traveled 
in an automobile. When I tactfully complained at the speed (“What’s the 
rush?”) he grinned, like Socrates might have, given the same admonition from 
his friends about sipping too fast his extract of hemlock, and responded “Hell, 
I can’t wait to get in the field, not much time left in the day”, or something 
like that, as if I too were wrapped up in his provocative enthusiasm. Anyway, 
he slowed down to 95 or so for the rest of the paved road, then down to 50 
on dirt, and finally lurched to a stop high up in the hills along an overgrown 
semitropical gully, taking off upslope like a botanist bewildered, collecting 
what was in flower or fruit, commenting on environmental degradation, the 
catholic condition, confessions, confusions, whatever. Ten years older than 
me, perhaps, he was clearly better shod with a better bridle. 

But on to a single long excerpt, from his most recent letter, which I repro- 


Turner: Letter from J. Hinton 419 


duce here with his permission. And only over protestations of a sort: he would 
not wish ostentation or advertisement. I responded, “Me neither, but future 
generations ought to know the tribulations of plant collectors working in this 
part of our century, how they knew absolutely that this was their last chance 
to do something meaningful for mankind’s intellectual pursuits, that someone 
cared about what.once was here, please ....” 

He relented and the excerpts follow. 


Dear Billie: June 25, 1993 
. ... We’re hard at work in El Viejo, where we notice quite a few 
species that were new when we collected them at other places not 
so long ago. But we still hope to find some interesting things, espe- 
cially some of those intriguing little orchids named by Carol Todzia. 
Once done with El Viejo, then I can sell the four-wheel drive, and 
buy a delightful smooth-riding turbo. Would you believe it that 
our roughriding gasguzzling fourwheeldrivingsonofabitch got stuck 
up at Agua Leon last week-for a mere eighteen galling hours. Fi- 
nally, through slipping and skidding, the sob wound up at the edge 
of an abyss, and I was sorely tempted to pull out the stones we 
had under the other three wheels, and let the sob go. However, 
we were out in the middle of no where, and the insurance people 
had recently paid me for a total-loss on a four-wheel-driving Ram- 
charger, so we finally got a tackle with three woodsmen, and tied 
to a treetrunk actually pulled the damn truck sidewise from the 
abyss, until I could coast down to a niche and turn around. But I 
think it does an old fart good to have the shit scared out of him 
now and then, Billie, don’t you agree? Afterwards, at least for a 
time, an ordinary life seems by comparison quite enchanting. 
This last trip, from which I returned last night, showed me 
the colossal difference adequate chains can make on a sob. (Four- 
wheeldrive = sob). Due to rampaging rainstorms, no lumber trucks 
had been on the move for eleven days, so the whole range of El Viejo 
was my preserve. I hate meeting those trucks coming down the 
mountain, and having to back up a mile or two on the steep scary 
tracks before they can pass, with thousand-meter drops nudging 
me. Then, if C’s with me, I turn the truck over to him for a while. 
Incidentally, before the rains began, while El Viejo was dry 
as tinder, a forest fire broke out on the summit, burned fifteen 
days, and consumed the whole top of the mountain (utterly free of 
grazing) before it was finally put out by a hundred men, includ- 
ing Federal Troops. Supposedly, the fire was started by lightening, 
which is often blamed for our forest fires. But as you well know, 
we don’t have forests like those of Oregon and British Columbia, 


420 PHY TODO Ga volume 75(6):417-421 December 1993 


where you have impossible jumbles twenty-feet deep of new and 
ancient humus. Our forests are open, park-like, and I think they 
are almost always deliberately set on fire by one Miguelito, who 
invariably blames “un trueno” for the fire. As you may recall 
Mathiasella bupleuroides was a dominant species on the heights 
of El Viejo, which led me to solemnly promise Dr. Constance some 
seed. But now that it’s utterly gone, what’ll I do about my solemn 
promise? As the Jamaicans say—sheeeeeit, man? Maybe you could 
tell Dr. Constance that I didn’t get his seed because I broke my 
ass, or something. (Kidding aside, though, I’ve found a few Math- 
iasella’s down below, and hope they’ll produce some seed for Dr. 
Constance-if the peripatetic asshole goat don’t beat me to them.) 

We’ve been trying to get a permit to collect and send herbar- 
ium specimens abroad, and we seem, strangely enough, to be on 
the right track. Among other things, I pointed out to the Lords of 
Inexorable Reason, that there are only about thirty botanical col- 
lectors in all Mexico. Assuming that each collector makes twenty 
trips a year, which is a lot, and assuming that at each trip each 
collector takes ten kilos of specimens, which is again a lot, (and 
without dwelling upon the fact that much collecting is a matter 
of pruning, which increases growth), we have 6,000 kilos of veg- 
etation, a mere six tons of herbarium specimens a year. On the 
other hand, we have thirty-six million head of cattle, three mil- 
lion horses, and twenty-one million goats, sheep and pigs, for a 
total of sixty million grazing beasties. Assuming that half of these 
are properly taken care of in adequate grazing lands, which is a 
lot, and that the other half are turned out to graze the national 
territory helterskelter, we have thirty million cows, horses, goats, 
sheep and pigs eating not forage crops but everything in sight, in- 
cluding a coupe of tourists from Topeka, Kansas. Each of these 
miserable mangy starving shambling slutty slattern shabby shitty 
shiftless shameful sore-assed animals consumes at least ten kilos of 
vegetation per day, or a yearly 3,650 kilos, for a total of a hundred 
and eighty two million tons a year. Now, I ask you, Billie, with 
the aid of your trusty computer and other secret methods you no 
doubt have at your distinguished disposal, if you were a bush, a 
tree, a terrestrial orchid, or even an untouchable German tourist, 
what do you think would do more damage to our flora, thirty col- 
lectors bringing home, along with a moldy piece of pork crackling 
they gnawed at but didn’t finish for lunch because of three broken 
teeth, six selected tons of herbarium specimens a year, or having 
thirty million mangy starving shitty shabby shady screwly sheddy 
sore-assed cattle chomping their way, just prior to dropping dead 


Turner: Letter from J. Hinton 421 


of inanition, blind staggers, aids and Almyer’s disease, chomping 
their way through a hundred and eighty-two million tons of as- 
sorted but unsustaining vegetation? I can tell you honestly, Billie, 
that at this question, rhetorical as it might seem to you and Guy, I 
could see a blush of shame mingled with a new and corruscating en- 
lightenment dawning upon the faces of our honorably distinguished 
bureaucrats. Now, before you accuse me of slovenly thinking, by 
acidly pointing out that I’ve skipped both the not inconsiderable 
multitudes of donkeys and mules ravaging our countryside, let me 
hasten to assure you, Billie, that I’m saving both donkeys and 
mules as weapons of last resort. In case I ever find myself on the 
losing end of the argumentative stick, supposing some enlightened 
bureaucrat were to advance a disquisition to the effect that botan- 
ical collectors consume not ten but ten thousand kilos a trip, I 
could providentially throw the donkeys and mules into the gap, 
and still come out a winner of the scrap. But where would you 
place the emphasis? With the six tons of herbarium specimens we 
discriminating mortals collect each year, or with the hundred and 
eighty-two million tons devoured by our wretched scurvy scroung- 
ing scurrilous shitty cattle? Put a starving cow into a mixed forest, 
and what chance of survival does anything lower than a tree have? 
Off some trees, they’ll even eat off the bark, girdling the trees as 
they die of hunger. .... 


Kindest personal regards to you both.

KARYOTAXONOMIC STUDIES ON WILD ECUADORIAN TUBER-BEARING 
SOLANUM, SECT. PETOTA 


C.M. Ochoa 


Genetic Resources Department, International Potato Center (CIP), P.O. Box 
5969, Lima, PERU 


ABSTRACT 


A taxonomic and distributional summary is presented for the tuber- 
bearing potatoes of Ecuador. 


KEY WORDS: Solanum, Solanaceae, Ecuador, karyotaxonomy 


After the recent monographic publications on Bolivian potatoes (Hawkes 
& Hjerting 1989; Ochoa 1990), the tuber-bearing Solanum from Ecuador are 
some of the least known in sect. Petota, subsect. Potatoe. In the present 
paper, the author gives a brief summary of the Ecuadorian wild potato species 
as a result of his explorations and field works made in Ecuador, as well as 
his observations of living plants in CIP’s experimental plots, and laboratory 
research. Exceptions, however, are S. baezense Ochoa (series Conictbaccata), 
S. andreanum Baker, and S. serratoris Ochoa (series Tuberosa), of which I 
did not have living material. Likewise, although I have made some herbarium 
collections, I have not included in this treatment and will not include in any 
of my further work, S. juglandifolium Dun. and S. ochranthum Dun. (series 
Juglandifolia). 

Data given are mainly on the morphology of the species, habitat, geograph- 
ical distribution, and my determinations on the chromosome number (2n) and 
the Endosperm Balance Number (EBN). 

These studies have also been complemented by examinations of exsiccatae 
collected in the past by other authors and presently housed in European, and 
North and South American herbaria. 

The wild tuber-bearing species studied here have been taxonomically grouped 
in series. If identified synonyms are known, these are given for each species.

Plant small, rosette, short stem, very hairy, white hairs. 
Leaves 3-4 pairs of leaflets without or with few interjected 
leaflets. Corolla rotate, white or violet. Tubers round to elon- 
gate, 2-3 cm long, white. 

Distribution: This species was found for the first time in 
Atocsaico, located in the Jalcas of Porcén at 3450 m alt., 
Province and Department of Cajamarca, northern Peru. Col- 
lections in Ecuador were made in Cerro Quilua, 3600 m alt. in 
route from Cerro Colorado to Carihuayrazo, Province Chimb- 
orazo and in Romerillo, ca. 3900 m alt., Canton Ambato, 
Province Tungurahua, under the V.n. of Curiquinga. Both 
collections have, as do the Peruvian Solanum albicans, 2n = 
72 chromosomes and EBN = 4. This species is highly resistant 
to frost (-5°C).

Solanum albornozw Correll, Wrightia 2:178-179. 1961. 


Leaves with numerous interstitial leaflets and (4-)5-6 
pairs of folioles shortly petiolulate, glabrous or glabres- 
cent, dark green and subvernicose above, puberulent in the 
lower surface, margins slightly revoluted. Corolla rotate- 
pentagonal, white above, white with a pale violet strip on 
the back of each petal. Berry typically long-conical. Chro- 
mosome number: 2n = 24, EBN = 2. 

Distribution: So far it is collected only on the route 
from Loja to Catamayo, 2300-2600 m alt., Province Loja, 
Ecuador; mostly in humid thickets or bushes. 


Solanum calacalnum Ochoa, Darwiniana 23(1):227-231. 1981. 


This rare species is principally characterized by its small 
branched plant, very long stolons (1.5-2.0 m); small tubers 
2-4 cm), white, oval to round. Leaves glabrous, 3-4 pairs

of leaflets with long petiolules (15-20 mm), 0-1(-2) pairs 
of interjected leaflets. Corolla rotate to rotate-pentagonal, 
very showy, large (4 cm). Berry long-conical with obtuse 
apex, 2.5 cm long. It is very susceptible to the attack 
of Phytophthora infestans and to the potato leafroll virus 
(PLRV). Chromosome number: 2n = 24. 

Distribution: Very restricted, so far it has been found 
only on Mount La Sirena, 3000 m alt. and Sillacunga, 2900 
m alt., a few km from Calacali, Province Pichincha, on 
slopes of stony soil, with very poor vegetation.

Although the type lecality of Solanum colombianum is 
Tovar, Estado de Mérida, Venezuela, in the time of Dunal, 
author of this species, the present territory of Venezuela, 
Colombia, and Ecuador were integrated under one nation 
named La Gran Colombia; hence the epithet of colom- 
bianum. This species has 3-5 pairs of leaflets and 2-4 (- 
6) pairs of interjected leaflets. Corolla rotate to rotate- 
pentagonal, white to light bluish or to light purple. Tubers 
usually long-cylindrical or subcylindtical, up to 8 cm long 
and 2 cm thick. Berries long-conical to ovoid-conical, 3.5 
cm long. 

En route from Leito to Rio Chico, Cordillera de Los 
Leones, Province Tungurahua, at 2870 m alt., in the edges 
of woods and shrubs, I found an abundant colony of Solanum 
colombianum (2n = 48) locally called Papa de Monte which 
must have great resistance to the attack of Phytophthora 


Ochoa:

infestans. Its leaves showed a type of hypersensitive reac- 
tion proper for hosts with the major genes of resistance (2) 
against late-blight. Small areas with cultivated potatoes 
in the vicinities, on the contrary, were almost destroyed by 
this fungus. Chromosome number: 2n = 48, EBN = 2. 

Distribution: More in Colombia than in Venezuela or 
Ecuador, especially in the provinces of Cundinamarca and 
Boyaca. In Ecuador, the author found this species mostly 
in Tungurahua Province. Living in cloud forest at 2500- 
3500 m alt. 


425 


Solanum chomatophilum Bitt. f. angustifolium Correll, Wrightia 2:180. 


1961. 


Leaves 4-5 pairs of folioles and numerous interstitial 
leaflets. Folioles narrowly elliptic-lanceolate to lanceolate 
with subacute apex. Calyx asymmetric with longer lobes 
than the typical form. Berries ovoid. Resistant to Phy- 
tophthora infestans. Chromosome number: 2n = 24, EBN 
= 2) 

Distribution: Provinces Napo-Pastaza, Azuay, and Car- 
chi, Ecuador, and the highlands of Department La Liber- 
tad, Peru, occurs at elevations ranging from 2500-3200 m 
alt., usually in cold and wet shrubby areas. 


Solanum pauciyugum Bitt., Fedde Repert. Sp. Nov. 11:431. 1912. 


Plant dwarf and bushy, 20-30(-50) cm tall, sparsely pi- 
lose throughout. Tubers white, ovoid, 2-3 cm long. Leaves 
2-3(-4) pairs of leaflets with (1-)2-3(-5) pairs of interjected 
leaflets, terminal leaflet much longer than the lateral. Corol- 
la rotate-pentagonal, 2.5-2.8 cm in diameter, lilac to pur- 
ple. Berries long-conical, light green with 2-3 vertical darker 
stripes, 2 cm long. Although it has some affinities with 
Solanum flahaulti from Colombia, both species are quite 
different in plant habit, leaf shape, and dissection and de- 
tails of flowers. Chromosome number: 2n = 48, EBN = 
ze 

Distribution: Central Ecuador, mostly in the provinces 
of Bolivar, Cotopaxi, Tungurahua, and Chimborazo be- 
tween 3000-4000 m alt., in cloud forest, wet thickets and 
grassy slopes of paramos. 


Solanum tundalomense Ochoa, Ann. Cient., Univ. Agr., Lima 1(1):106- 


109. 1963. 


426 PHY TOL:O'G TA volume 75(6):422-431 December 1993 


Plant usually very tall, 3-4 m high, branched very sparse- 
ly pilose. Tubers small, 3-5 cm long, white, ovoid to long 
subcylindrical. Leaves (3-)4-5 pairs of leaflets, (0-)2-5(- 
7) pairs of interjected leaflets, leaflets elliptic-lanceolate or 
narrowly elliptic-lanceolate with acute or acuminate apex. 
Corolla rotate, white or white with pale violet stripes. 
Berries long-conical, 3.5 cm long. Although this species 
has affinities with Solanum colombianum, I consider them 
to be different species. Besides the ploidy level, they have 
substantial differences both in the shape of the corolla and 
calyx morphology. It is resistant to Phytophthora infes- 
tans but very susceptible to Synchytrium endobtoticum. 
The chromosome number, cited formerly by the author for 
Solanum tundalomense (see Ochoa 1972, p. 75) as 2n = 24, 
unfortunately was mistyped. Counts made in more than 
20 accessions of Solanum tundalomense from Ecuador have 
given 2n = 72, EBN = 4. 

Distribution: Widely distributed in Ecuador (in 10 of 
20 provinces) with the highest concentrations in the provin- 
ces of Azuay and Canar, occurs at elevations between 1900- 
3600 m alt. In shrubby and forest vegetation. 


III. Solanum series Olmosiana Ochoa, An. Cient. Univ. Agr. 3:33. 1965. 


Solanum olmostanum Ochoa, An. Cient. Univ. Agr. 3:34-37. 1965. 


So far, this is the only representative species of the se- 
ries. Its main morphological characteristics are the shape 
and dissection of the leaf, 1-3 pairs of leaflets, the irregular 
and wide wings of the rachis extended all the way down 
to the petiole, leaves glabrous, corolla deeply stellate and 
white-cream, 2.0 cm in diameter, tubers white, oblong, 2-3 
cm long, usually smooth. Solanum olmosianum was found 
for the first time in the margins of Olmos River, near El 
Sauce at 1640 m alt. in the Province and Department of 
Lambayeque, Peru. However, I have also found it in Tabla 
Rumi, at 2500 m alt., in the Province of Loja, Ecuador. 
The two mentioned collections have 2n = 24 chromosomes, 
EBN = 2. 

Distribution: Ecuador and Peru, in the lower inter- 
Andean valleys between 1600-2500 m alt., in shrubby thick- 
ets.

TEXAS SPECIES OF MIRABILIS (NYCTAGINACEAE) 
Billie L. Turner 
Department of Botany, University of Texas, Austin, Texas 78713 U.S.A. 


ABSTRACT 


A taxonomic treatment of the Texas species of Mirabilis (s.1.) is ren- 
dered. Thirteen species are recognized: M. albtda, M. austrotexana 
B.L. Turner, spec. nov., M. comata, M. gigantea, M. glabra, M. hirsuta, 
M. jalapa, M. linearis, M. longtflora, M. multiflora, M. nyctaginea, M. 
otybaphoides, and M. texensis (Coulter) B.L. Turner, comb. et stat. 
nov. This stands in marked contrast with the most recent accounts 
of the Texas species rendered by Reed (1969) and Correll & Johnston 
(1970), both treatments recognizing 29 species. All of the names used by 
these authors are appropriately accounted for in the taxonomic treat- 
ment, and a key to the Texas species is provided, along with maps 
showing distributions. 


KEY WORDS: Nyctaginaceae, Mtrabths, Orybaphus, Texas 


Mirabilis (sensu lato) is a New World genus of perhaps some 50 or more 
species, mostly confined to North America (Heimer! 1934). Standley (1909, 
1911, 1918) and others after him, segregated from Mirabilis several natu- 
ral groupings such as Aliionia L., Hesperonia Standl., Orybaphus L’Herit., 
and Quamoclidion Choisy, treating these as genera. But Standley (1931) re- 
canted and reverted to Heimerl’s generic concept, and most recent workers 
have tended to accept Mirabilis in the broad sense (e.g., Pilz 1978; Le Duc 
1993). 

Mirabilis (s.1.) is well represented in the Texas flora, the most recent treat- 
ments recognizing 29 species (Reed 1969; Correll & Johnston 1970). Attempts 
to use either of the latter contributions is certain to induce taxonomic con- 
sternation of the most severe sort. This is largely due to the very superficial 
treatment accorded the group by Reed. His treatment placed considerable 
emphasis upon habit, leaf shape, and vestiture, characters which are very 
variable both within and between populations. He did little, if any, field work 
in connection with his study.

Turner: Texas Mirabilis 433 


Indeed, Reed’s treatment of Mirabilis for Texas is essentially unusable; his 
keys and annotations make little biological sense and, as noted in my comments 
under M. austroterana B.L. Turner, one is left with the impression that he was 
not deeply involved with the taxonomic process in this instance, or else had 
little interest in providing a meaningful treatment with biological merit. It is 
unfortunate that Correll & Johnston chose to follow his treatment; this has 
caused a generation of workers, both professional and amateur, to throw up 
their hands in despair, myself included. 

After many years of frustration in my attempts to identify Mirabilis species 
in Texas and northern Mexico, I decided to start from scratch and work up 
the genus in this region based upon my own field experience, taxonomic con- 
cepts, and character analysis. In this I emphasized mainly fruit characters and 
placed relatively little emphasis upon leaf shape and vestiture. In addition, 
I attempted to relate morphological characters, whatever their nature, with 
ecogeographical variables. In short, an effort was made to recognize morpho- 
geographical populational units that represent my best estimates of biological 
species. I was surprised and pleased by the results obtained. Instead of the 
29 species proposed for Texas by Reed, only thirteen species seem deserving 
of specific status. This number might be increased to fourteen if one opts to 
recognize Mirabilis dumetorum Shinners, but if the latter is to be accepted 
it must bear a newly constructed name, M. latifolia (= Allionia latifolia (A. 
Gray] Standl.). Mirabilis dumetorum appears to be a broad-leafed form of the 
widespread excéedingly variable M: albida (Walt.) Heimer!, as noted under the 
latter. “ 

The following key should prove useful in attempts to identify the thirteen 
species recognized here. In combination with the maps provided, relatively 
little difficulty should be encountered in understanding my taxonomic views 
regarding this group in Texas, or elsewhere.

As indicated by the above partial synonymy, and many more names not 
listed (cf. Reed 1969), Mirabilis albida is the most widespread highly variable 
species of Mirabilis in North America. This is probably due to its phenotypic 
plasticity and in large measure to its proclivity towards cleistogamic repro- 
duction, presumably compounded by occasional hybridization with the many 
species with which it is sympatric. In any case, I accept a wide range of habit 
forms, leaf types, and vestiture in the complex. These various forms have been 
keyed and recognized as this or that species by Reed and yet others. But if 


436 PHY TjOL.O-GIA volume 75(6):432-451 December 1993 


one examines carefully such plants they are very uniform as regards anthocarp 
shape, ornamentation, and vestiture. Characteristically, their anthocarps are 
markedly tuberculate, usually including the 4-5 ribs; at least to some degree, 
they are irregularly pubescent with tufted white hairs ca. 0.5 mm long; be- 
neath the latter there is nearly always a minute layer of much shorter glandular 
hairs. Hairs of the latter type are not normally found in any large numbers 
on yet other species from Texas (for example, on anthocarps of M. nyctaginea, 
which has otherwise similar fruits to those of M. albida, nor are they found 
on fruits of M. linearis (Pursh) Heimerl, M. glabra (S. Wats.) Standl., or M. 
austrotezana, all of which might be confused with M. albida (given the aber- 
rant individual among these). I am reasonably confident about my judgment 
with respect to the above treatment. I am, however, not especially sure of 
my relegation of M. dumetorum to synonymy. In spite of Shinners’ certainty 
about its specific status, I believe what he has done is to select broad-leafed, 
pubescent-stemmed forms of otherwise typical M. albida, dubbing these M. 
dumetorum. For example, Travis County contains numerous sheets assignable 
to both M. dumetorum and M. albida by use of Shinners’ (1951) key to species, 
but these do not appear to form discrete populational units. Indeed, various 
intermediate conditions in those characters states which purportedly distin- 
guish between the species are found, suggesting that only a single variable 
taxon is concerned. Nevertheless, I might be wrong in this conjecture and, be- 
cause of this, I have shown in Figure 1 the distribution of those leaf forms (by 
closed circles) which seem to conform to Shinners’ concept of M. dumetorum. 
It will be seen that such plants occur over a broad region, but always confined 
within the broad distribution of M. albida. 

In any case, if one accepts the biological reality of Mirabils dumetorum, 
its correct name must be M. latifolia, as noted in my introduction to the 
present paper. The latter is based upon Orybaphus nyctagineus var. latifolius 
A. Gray in Torr., U.S. and Mez. Bound. Surv. Bot. 174. 1859. TYPE: USA. 
Texas: Travis Co., near Austin, May 1849, C. Wright 603 (LECTOTYPE 
(designated here]: GH!). Several collections were cited or referred to by Gray in 
his protologue. I have selected as lectotype one of two sheets bearing Wright’s 
collection number 603, both collected in the vicinity of Austin, Texas. The 
isolectotype is essentially sterile, while the lectotype itself has excellent fruiting 
material, the anthocarps are almost exactly like those of M. albtda, both as to 
ornamentation and vestiture. 

Mirabilis entricha Shinners appears to be a form of M. albtda with some- 
what longer stem-hairs than is typical for the species. I believe that most of 
the other names listed in the above synonymy are reasonably certain, although 
I suspect that names applied to some of the Mexican collections might ulti- 
mately prove worthy of at least varietal recognition. Indeed, M. comata is very 
closely related to M. albida, and might be treated as a regional morphogeo- 
graphical variety of the latter without much ado; I have retained the former

Reed (1969), both by citation and annotation, inexplicably treated this 
very natural populational complex from southern Texas (Figure 2) as belong- 
ing to six disparate species: M. albida, M. dumetorum, M. ezaltata (Standl). 
Standl., M. gigantea, M. nyctaginea, and M. oblongifolia. As already noted, 
this was largely due to his emphasis upon habit, leaf shape, and vestiture. In 
short, he keyed and recognized states of these characters as representing species 
irrespective of their morphogeographical correlation with other characters.

SIONYM: Alkonia comata Small. Ozybaphus comatus (Small) Weath-

Reed (1969) positioned this taxon in synonymy under his concept of Mirabilis 
oblongifolia. I treat the latter as synonymous with the widespread, highly vari- 
able, M. albida. The type of M. comata is from southwestern New Mexico and 
is part of a populational complex largely confined to Arizona, New Mexico 
and closely adjacent states, including México ‘Figure 1). The taxon is closely 
related to M. albida but is seemingly readily distinguished by its usually cor- 
date, long-petiolate leaves, sprawling habit and involucral vestiture of mostly 
darkened trichomes, as noted in the key to species. Only a single collection 
has been examined from Texas (Franklin Mountains, E] Paso Co., Worthington 
8472 |TEX)).

SIONYM: Allionza gigantea Standl. Orybaphus giganteus (Standl.) Weath-

As noted by Shinners (1951) this is a well-marked taxon largely confined 
to loose sandy soils of north-central Texas (Figure 2). It was also retained by 
Reed (1969) who confounded its distribution by citation of specimens of yet 
other taxa. Mirabilis gigantea has the habit of M. austrotezana but the latter 
is readily distinguished by its vestiture and anthocarps, as noted in the key to 
species.

I cannot distinguish Mirabilis ezaltata from M. glabra, although Reed (1969) 
and Correll & Johnston (1970) maintained both of these, distinguishing among 
them by relatively trivial features (mainly leaf shape and vestiture). Shinners 
(1951) also maintained M. carletonii and M. eraltata but notes that some of 
the former may “have pubescent fruits instead of glabrous ones”. I presume 
that this observation was due to his misidentification of robust forms of M. lin- 
earis with M. carletonii (= M. glabra). In the Flora of the Great Plains (1986) 
it is noted that “Some specimens [of M. glabra] are difficult to distinguish from 
M. ezaltata and we suspect intergradation.” As already noted, I believe the 
two are indistinguishable. Its distribution in Texas and closely adjacent areas 
is shown in Figure 4.

SIONYM: Allionia hirsuta Pursh. Mirabilis nyctaginea (Michx.) MacMil- 
lan var. hirsuta (Pursh) Heimerl. Ozybaphus hirsutus (Pursh) Sweet. 


This taxon is recognized as a species with some reservation. Heimerl, as 
noted in the above (only partial) synonymy, treated it as a variety of Mirabilis 
nyctaginea, but I suspect that as treated by most American workers, it is 
a hodge-podge of hirsute specimens belonging to several species, mainly M. 
albida and M. nyctaginea. For example, Steyermark (1963), in his Flora of 
Missouri retained the species, but it seems clear from his key and distribution 
maps that it might be better treated as a leaf form of M. albida. 

In the treatment of Mirabilis for the Flora of the Great Plains (Great Plains 
Flora Association 1986) M. hirsuta is said to be rare in Kansas and Missouri, 
and unreported from Oklahoma, but from my own map (Figure 4), it can be 
seen that forms referable to this taxon, as identifiable by their key, occur as 
far south as northern Texas and adjacent Oklahoma. In truth, I take such 
plants to be hirsute forms of M. albida but have mapped these as M. hirsuta. 
It should be noted that the specimens of M. hirsuta cited by Reed from Jeff 
Davis County, Texas are almost certainly hirsute forms of M. albida, both 
taxa occurring at the same site and apparently “intergrading” (Hanson 506a- 
6 (LL,TEX)). 

In short, Mirabilis hirsuta, if accepted as a biological entity, might best be 
treated within the M. albida complex, but its regional distribution, interpop- 
ulational variability, and typification needs additional study.

Shinners (1951), Reed (1969), and Correll & Johnston (1970) recognized 
both Mirabils jalapa and M. lindheimeri as distinct species. Le Duc (1993), 
who monographed the subgenus Mirabilis, did not recognize infraspecific taxa 
under this widespread (Figure 4) highly variable, commonly cultivated species, 
many clones of which escape cultivation and persist.

As conceived here, this is a widespread highly variable taxon occurring 
over a broad region (Figure 5). It is sympatric with a number of other taxa 
and possibly forms the occasional hybrid with them. Reed (1969) and Correll 
& Johnston (1970) maintained Mirabilis decumbens, M. gausapotdes, and M. 
ezaltata; the first two appear to be decumbent and erect forms of M. linearis 
respectively, while M. ezaltata (the type from Kansas) appears to be an un- 
usually broad-leaved, pubescent-stemmed form with achenes essentially the 
same as found in typical M. linearis. It is likely that M. ezaltata is of hybrid 
origin between M. linearis and M. hirsuta, the two taxa presumably occurring 
in close proximity upon occasion. Regardless, the anthocarps of all of these 
reputed species are seemingly identical, and are distinguished from those of M. 
albida (with which it might be confused in habit) by their relatively uniform 
short pilosity, and few, if any, much shorter glandular hairs beneath the pilose 
vestiture.

Standley (1911) recognized this taxon, along with three others, as belonging 
to the genus Quamoclidion. In 1931, however, Standley repositioned the taxon 
in Mirabilis, following the treatment of Heimer! (1889). Heimer! (1934), in a 
definitive monograph, retained Quamoclidion in Mirabilis, as did Reed (1969). 

Pilz (1978) has provided the most recent account of Quamoclidion, treating 
this as a subgenus of Mirabilis with six species, only one of which occurs in 
Texas, M. multiflora. Three more or less regional allopatric varieties of the 
latter were recognized by Pilz, ours belonging to the var. multiflora, which is 
confined to the trans-Pecos regions (Figure 7).

Mirabilis collina Shinners. 


This widespread highly variable species, with its large somewhat sprawl- 
ing habit, very large broadly ovate to subcordate leaves. and subfasciculate 
terminal inflorescence is rather easily recognized. In floral and fruit charac- 
ters, however, it is very similar to Mirabilis albida, with which it is partially 
sympatric (cf. Figures 1 and 8). 

Shinners (1951) thought Mirabilis collina to be “A very restricted endemic 
of the northwestern limits of the East Texas Pine Belt, suggesting a more 
delicate, more showy, and finely pubescent equivalent of M. nyctaginea; flow- 
ering rather early in the spring.” Reed (1969) and Correll & Johnston (1970) 
retained the species. Shinners distinguished (in key form) M. collina from 
M. nyctaginea by vestiture (upper internodes pubescent or glabrous, lower in- 
ternodes glabrous in M. nyctaginea vs. all internodes pubescent in M. collina), 
while Reed (1969) attempted to distinguish between these by mainly fruit char- 
acters (4 ribs in M. collina vs. 5 ribs in M. nyctaginea) and root-branching. In 
view of the considerable variation found in these characters, both within and 
between populations of M. nyctaginea, I have little hesitancy in treating M. 
colina as but a populational variant of the latter.

This taxon in Texas occurs only in the trans-Pecos (Figure 8). Early work-

& Johnston 1970). 

Mirabilis orybaphoides, in vegetative features, superficially resembles sev- 
eral species of Mirabilis in Texas, but is readily distinguished from all such by 
its smooth, glabrous ovoid achenes.

all of the specimens cited by him belong to yet other taxa. Mirabilis glabrifo- 
lia is relatively widespread in México but does not occur in Texas. Mirabilis 
tezensis is readily distinguished from the latter by its thicker, more uniformly 
cordate leaves. It is restricted to the Chihuahuan desert regions of western 
Texas and closely adjacent Coahuila, México, as shown in Figure 3.

TAXONOMY OF DOELLINGERIA (ASTERACEAE: ASTEREAE) 
Guy L. Nesom 
Department of Botany, University of Texas, Austin, Texas 78713 U.S.A. 


ABSTRACT 


Doellingeria has most recently been treated within Aster, but it 
is here regarded as a distinct genus comprising eleven species. The 
five species of sect. Doellingeria are divided between eastern Asia (two 
species) and eastern North America (three species), while the six species 
of sect. Cordifolium are restricted to eastern Asia. The genus is hypoth- 
esized to be as closely related to Solidago and its relatives as to Aster. 


KEY WORDS: Doellingeria, Aster, Astereae, Asteraceae 


The genus Doellingeria was established by Nees (1832) and recognized by 
him as a group divided between North America and Asia. DeCandolle (1836) 
accepted Doellingeria as a distinct genus but restricted it to Asian species, 
inexplicably relegating the type (D. umbellata [Mill.] Nees) and other North 
American species to the genus Diplostephium Kunth. Doellingeria was ac- 
cepted for a period during the 19th century, until Bentham (in Bentham & 
Hooker 1873) included it within a greatly expanded, heterogeneous Aster. Asa 
Gray maintained Doellingeria as a distinct genus in various treatments but fi- 
nally submerged it within Aster in his Synoptical Flora (1884), deciding to 
adopt Bentham’s view. Most North American botanists subsequently have 
subscribed in some degree to the concept of a conglomerated Aster advocated 
by Bentham and Gray, but some have continued to recognize Doellingerza as 
distinct (e.g., Greene 1896; Rydberg 1917; Small 1933; Correll & Johnston 
1970). Two recent studies of Aster in a relatively broad perspective (Jones 
1980; Semple & Brouillet 1980) retained Doellingeria within Aster, although 
their justification for including it was not explicit. 

The revisional study of Aster subg. Doellingeria (Semple et al. 1991) clari- 
fied the variation patterns of the North American taxa and their corresponding 
taxonomy, but the Old World taxa were not considered. Following an early 
judgment by Asa Gray (1884), recent treatments by Jones (1980), Semple & 


452 


Nesom: Taxonomy of Doellingeria 453 


Brouillet (1980), and Semple et al. (1983) have included A. retzculatus Pursh 
in subg. Doellingeria, but that species is here considered to lie outside the 
bounds of Doellingeria (see comments below). 

Some Asian taxonomists have recently recognized the distinctiveness of 
Doellingerta (e.g., Ling et al. 1985), but a number of “doellingerioid” Asian 
species have been retained within Aster. Tamamschyan (1959), apparently 
following DeCandolle, regarded the genus as monotypic, comprising only the 
Old World D. scabra (Thunb.) Nees. In China and Japan, where the greatest 
number of Doellingeria species occur, they have been treated either as Aster 
or Kalimeris Cass. (Kitamura 1936, 1937; Ohwi 1965; and literature citations 
below). Thus, Doellingeria as a genus has never been consolidated. The 
nature of the relationship between the Asian and American species of the 
genus apparently has only been considered by Bentham (in Bentham & Hooker 
1873), who observed a strong relationship between the Asian D. scabra and 
the American D. infirma (Michx.) E. Greene. 

As interpreted here, the boundaries of Aster do not encompass Doellinge- 
ria, which has ancestry closer to Solidago and related genera (comments be- 
low). Doellingeria comprises eleven species in two main groups: those of sect. 
Doellingeria have lanceolate, entire to serrulate, essentially epetiolate leaves, 
while those of sect. Cordifolium have ovate, coarsely toothed leaves with a dis- 
tinct, narrowly winged petiole. There is a named hybrid (see below) between 
species of the two sections. Three species of sect. Cordifolium ser. Cordifolium 
have strongly foreshortened pappus and have been treated within the genus 
Kalimeris. Gu (1987, in press) excluded these species from Kalimerzs but has 
not suggested an alternate placement for the group. 

The five species of sect. Doellingeria are divided between eastern Asia and 
eastern North America, while the six of sect. Cordifolium are restricted to 
eastern Asia. Doellingeria scabra (sect. Cordifolitum) occurs widely in eastern 
China, Japan, Korea, and northward into the Manchurian region of China 
and Russia; D. marchandu (Levl.) Ling and D. longipetzolata (Chang) Nesom 
(sect. Cordifolium) are endemic to southeastern China; and all of the other 
Old World species are restricted to Japan.

Perennial, rhizomatous herbs, glabrous to sparsely strigose, eglandular. 
Leaves elliptic-oblanceolate or oblong-oblanceolate without an evident petiole 
to ovate-cordate with a long petiole, margins entire to coarsely toothed. Heads 
solitary on leafy peduncles, borne in a corymboid capitulescence; phyllaries in 
2-4 weakly to strongly graduated series, broadly elliptic-oblong to ovate with a 
blunt or rounded apex, without a distinctly differentiated herbaceous tip, the 
midvein commonly slightly raised and resinous, often with conspicuous lateral 
nerves. Disc corollas abruptly broadened at the tube-throat junction, with 
long, reflexing-coiling lobes. Ray flowers few, the ligules white, not coiling 
with maturity. Achenes eglandular, otherwise sparsely strigose to glabrous, 
obovoid with 5-9, raised, broad, sometimes orange-resinous, equally spaced 
nerves or ribs, the achenes elongating at maturity to 3-4 mm long, nearly the 
length of the involucral bracts, raising the pappus almost completely above the 
involucre. Pappus 2-3-seriate, an outer series of setae or slender bristles much 
shorter than the inner, and much longer bristles in one or two inner series, 
all elements highly reduced in length in the three species of ser. Cordtfolium; 
inner bristles with dilated apices. Chromosome number in all reported species 
of Doellingerta, n=9; secondary constriction of NOR chromosome in the middle 
of the short arm, the “primitive” type among various groups of Aster sensu 
lato according to Semple et al. (1983).

EXCLUDED SPECIES: 


1. Doellingerta reticulata (Pursh) E. Greene = Aster reticulatus Pursh. 
2. Doellingeria obovata (Nutt.) Nees = Aster reticulatus Pursh. 


The alliance of Aster reticulatus with Doellingeria appar- 
ently has been on the basis of its corymboid capitulescence and 
other habital similarity and its tendency to produce a triseriate 
pappus. In A. reticulatus, however, the peduncles, phyllaries, 
and sometimes the leaves are glandular, the disc corolla lobes 
are erect and relatively more shallow, the achenes are fusiform 
and densely glandular, and the pappus bristles are apically 
acute. The species is an integral member of the group that 
includes A. acuminatus Michx. and A. nemoralis Sol. (Nesom 
in prep.). 


3. Doellingeria trichocarpa DC., Prodr. 5:263. 1836. =? Aster striatus 
Champ. ea Benth. [Fl. Hongkong.|, Hooker’s J. Bot. Kew Gard. Misc. 
4:233. 1852. 


Doellingeria trichocarpa was noted in Inder Kewensis to be 
a synonym of Aster striatus Benth. The rationale for this is 
not clear, because Bentham (in Bentham & Hooker 1873) ap- 
parently accepted both species within the Doellingeria group 
of Aster. Judging from their descriptions, however, neither 
species can be interpreted as Doellingeria in the present view. 
Neither name has been included in Aster in relatively recent 
bibliographic and taxonomic accounts of the Chinese Composi- 
tae, but specimens at US originally identified as A. striatus 
have been annotated as A. panduratus Walp. 


4. Doellingeria ptarmicoides Nees = Oligoneuron album (Nutt.) Nesom (Ne- 
som 1993). 


DEFINITION OF DOELLINGERIA 


Doellingeria is recognized by its (1) corymboid capitulescence, (2) strongly 
graduated phyllaries with a blunt or rounded apex, without a distinctly dif- 
ferentiated herbaceous tip, with the midvein commonly raised and resinous, 
“and often with conspicuous lateral nerves, (3) few ray flowers, the ligules not 
coiling with maturity, or at least coiling very little, (4) large, terete achenes 
with broad, often resinous ribs, and (5) a 2- or 3-seriate pappus of bristles with 


Nesom: Taxonomy of Doellingerza 459 


dilated apices. The pappus in Doellinger1a comprises one or two inner series of 
long bristles and an outer series of setae or slender bristles much shorter than 
the inner. The North American species have a consistently triseriate pappus, 
but within sect. Doellingeria, the pappus of the Asian D. rugulosa and D. 
sohayaktensis tends to be biseriate. The pappus in sect. Cordifolium also is 
mostly biseriate but the inner series tends to be congested or biseriate; the 
pappus is strongly reduced in length in ser. Cordifoltum. The pappus bristles 
of the inner series in all species of both sections have dilated apices. 

Doellingerta dimorphophylla and D. japonica differ between themselves pri- 
marily in relatively technical features of vestiture and the nature of their pap- 
pus. The pappus of the former (ser. Papposae) is composed of slender, apically 
dilated bristles 4-5 mm long in 2(-3) series; the pappus of D. japonica (ser. 
Cordifolium) is reduced to broad, flat, barbellate bristles 0.5-1.0 mm long, 
mostly lanceolate but sometimes with a distinctly clavellate apex. Doellinge- 
ria marchandi and D. longipetiolata have similarly reduced pappus, but the 
similarity between D. japonica and D. dimorphophylla in their particularly 
long stylar collecting appendages, which form 1/2-3/4 the length of the style 
branches, suggests that reduction of pappus may not be a reliable indicator of 
relationship among these species. 


SUBTRIBAL PLACEMENT OF DOELLINGERIA 


The phyletic position of Doellingeria is here hypothesized to lie near the 
base of the Solidagininae, near its point of divergence both from an Old World 
ancestor similar to Aster sensu stricto and from one group of New World Aster 
apparently closely related to the Solidagininae (7.e., the “Biotian lineage”, Ne- 
som in prep.). The white rays and multiseriate pappus of Doellingeria are 
similar to true Aster, but the small number of ray flowers and eglandular, 
multinerved and more or less terete achenes are characteristic of the Solidagin- 
inae. White rays occur in other genera unequivocally placed among yellow- 
rayed Solidagininae (Nesom 1993) and they are invariably characteristic of the 
Biotian lineage. Disc corollas with deeply cut, reflexing-coiling lobes and pap- 
pus bristles with dilated apices occur in basal, yellow-rayed elements of the 
Solidagininae as well as the Biotian lineage. Correspondingly, the distinctive 
phyllaries of Doellingerta markedly resemble those of Solidago L., Oligoneuron 
Small, and the small group of species that has been treated as Aster sect. 
Biotia (DC.) Torr. & Gray (e.g., Jones 1980). 

Doellingerta was not included in the overview of the subtribe Solidagininae 
(Nesom 1993), but its morphology as well as its occurrence in eastern North 
America, with other primitive members of that subtribe, also suggest that the 
phyletic position of Doellingeria is in the same area. Although the radiation 
of the Solidagininae was primarily in North America, one of its most primitive 


460 PHY TOLO GIA volume 75(6):452-462 December 1993 


members (Solidago) has a distribution disjunct between North America and 
Asia. An analogous disjunction is hypothesized to occur between the southeast 
Asian endemic genus Nannoglottis Maxim., which also appears to be a prim- 
itive member of the Solidagininae, and the closely related, monotypic genus 
Oreochrysum Nutt. of the western United States (Nesom in prep.). 

Jones & Young (1983, Figs. 4 and 5) placed Doellingeria as the sister group 
to the Eurasian genera Galatella DC. and Crinitaria Cass. (=Linosyris Cass.), 
but the latter two have glandular, flattened, primarily 2-ribbed, and obovate 
achenes and are more closely related to typical Aster. Plants of Galatella and 
Crinitaria also have a strong tendency to produce glandular-punctate leaves.

VASCULAR FLORA OF SANDSTONE OUTCROP COMMUNITIES IN 
WESTERN LOUISIANA, WITH NOTES ON RARE AND NOTEWORTHY 
SPECIES

Bog Research, 740 Columbia, Shreveport, Louisiana 71104 U.S.A. 


ABSTRACT 


The floristics and edaphic factors of west Louisiana sandstone out- 
crop communities are described. The soils of this open xeric community 
are moderately rich in calcium and support a number of calciphiles. 
Lichens and mosses are common, especially on the open rock pavement 
that characterizes this community. A number of rare species occur: Tal- 
inum parviflorum, Schoenolirion wrightiu, Carer meadu, and Selaginella 
arentcola var. riddellit. 


KEY WORDS: Sandstone outcrop, sandstone glade, calcareous 
prairie, cedar glade, calciphile, Kisatchie National Forest, floristics, 
Louisiana 


INTRODUCTION 


The eastern and southeastern United States is — or at least until recently 
was — heavily forested. Nonetheless, there were natural openings, usually of 
small size, scattered throughout. The more xeric of these openings — vari- 
ously referred to as prairies, glades, and barrens — have long attracted the 
attention of naturalists, ecologists, and botanists, and there is a fairly large 
literature dealing with them (e.g., Ebinger 1979; Perkins 1981; DeSelm 1986, 
1990; Greller 1988; Baskin & Baskin 1989; Bartgis 1993). 

In two previous papers, we have described sandstone glades in western 
Louisiana (MacRoberts & MacRoberts 1992, 1993). As our studies of open 
xeric communities in this area have expanded, we have become aware that 
there are at least two different types of sandstone related communities (Mac- 
Roberts & MacRoberts 1993). The type studied previously - referred to 


463 


464 Pir y, FO. OXG A volume 75(6):463-480 December 1993 


as glade or sandstone glade - is an open area, often mesa-like, with acidic 
low-nutrient soils strewn with boulders and scattered with old, slow growing, 
stunted trees. The sandstone community described in this paper — referred to 
as sandstone outcrop or simply outcrop — while superficially similar to glades, 
is floristically and edaphically quite distinct. Among other things, these com- 
munities have a rock pavement or ledge, not boulders, upslope from which is 
open calcareous prairie-like habitat. An examination of the literature suggests 
that these openings most resemble cedar glades of Tennessee and Kentucky, 
and barrens in southeastern Texas (Baskin & Baskin 1975, 1985; Marietta & 
Nixon 1984; Bridges & Orzell 1989; Mohlenbrock 1993). 

In this paper we describe outcrop communities in the Kisatchie National 
Forest in western Louisiana, an area for which such communities have not 
yet been described. We also compare these communities with the sandstone 
glades that we have studied previously, and briefly discuss calcareous prairies 
and forests in this part of Louisiana. 


STUDY SITES AND METHODS 


Three outcrops were selected for detailed study. All occur within 1 km 
of each other in T6N R8W, about 5 km north of Kisatchie, Louisiana, in the 
Kisatchie Ranger District of the Kisatchie National Forest (Caldwell 1991; 
Martin & Smith 1991). Two of these (KG30-3 and KG30-8) have large ex- 
panses of sandstone pavement. The third (KG30-2) does not, and while un- 
derlain by sandstone bedrock, has not eroded down to it except in a few small 
areas. Consequently, KG30-2 represents what can be considered an earlier 
stage in the evolution of this community. KG30-8 is about 0.4 ha, KG30-2 
about 0.6 ha, and KG30-3 about 1.2 ha. All occur at approximately 75 meters 
above sea level. 

Following Perkins (1981) we divide outcrops into life zones (Figure 1). 
These are 1) eroded area below the lip of the sandstone bedrock, 2) bare rock 
pavement, 3) pockets of shallow soil on rock pavement, 4) sloping prairie above 
pavement with soils of varying depth depending on distance from exposed rock 
and degree of slope, and 5) tree/shrub zone uphill. 

Not all outcrop communities have all zones. In the three we studied, KG30- 
3 and KG30-8 had all zones; KG30-2 consisted almost exclusively of zones 4 
and 5, with only small areas of 2 and 3. Also, zone 1 at KG30-2 was heavily 
treed and shaded the very narrow zones 2 and 3. Other outcrop sites in the 
Kisatchie District consisted of only zones 1, 2, and 3; zones 4 and 5 had been 
eroded away (Figure 1). Zone 1 is perhaps the most variable, as we attempt 
to depict in Figure 1. Almost all of these communities are on hillsides, not on 
hilltops. The few we encountered on hilltops were entirely eroded to bedrock, 
as indicated in Figure 1.

Table | is a list of the vascular plants found in zones 2, 3, and 4 of KG30-2, 
3, and 8. The number “2” following the species indicates presence at KG30-2, 
“3” presence at KG30-3, and “8” presence at KG30-8. Absence of a letter 
indicates presence at all three sites. 

We recorded a total of 136 taxa, representing 102 genera and 48 families for 
the three outcrops. KG30-3 had 110 species and 84 genera, KG30-2 had 101 
species and 78 genera, and KG30-8 had 82 species and 65 genera, which makes 
these communities as rich in species as bogs (MacRoberts & MacRoberts 1992). 
Plant families with the greatest representation are Asteraceae, Fabaceae, and 
Poaceae, which account for 37% of the total. However, lichens and mosses, 
important components of the outcrop communities especially in zones 2 and 
3, are not included here. 

The three outcrops are similar. Among them, Sorensen’s Index of Sim- 
ilarity ranges from 74 to 78. Combining all plants from sandstone glades 
(MacRoberts & MacRoberts 1992, 1993) and from sandstone outcrops, and 
comparing these lists, shows that glades and outcrops are not the same com- 
munity. Sorensen’s Index of Similarity between them is 49. 

We visited all three study sites every two weeks from March to mid- 
November 1993 to collect and identify plants. Although these communities 
are rich in lichens and mosses, we did not attempt to identify them. We fol- 
low MacRoberts (1984, 1989), Gandhi & Thomas (1989), and Allen (1992) in 
most instances for botanical nomenclature. Voucher specimens of many of the 
species collected are deposited in the Vanderbilt University Herbarium (VDB). 
While the specific fire history of outcrop communities is uncertain, they are 
embedded in the pyrogenic longleaf pine community and thus probably burned 
with regularity in the past (Martin & Smith 1991; Smith 1991). The study 
sites had not burned in several years. Soil samples were taken from all zones at 
each study site and from all zones of a number of other outcrop communities 
from several calcareous prairies, and from one calcareous forest. The samples 
were analyzed by A & L Analytical Laboratories, Memphis, Tennessee. 

To compare the spatial distribution and size of trees in outcrops with those 
in other communities, we ran transects through the middle of KG30-2, 3, and 
8. This totaled an area 195 meters long and 3 meters wide (585 square meters). 
Within this area we mapped all trees over 1.5 meters tall and measured their 
diameter at breast height (dbh). 

We cut at ground level four small pines (3 loblolly and 1 shortleaf) from 
zone 4 of KG30-3 to examine growth rings and thus growth rate. 

We randomly selected ten temporary one meter square plots each in KG30- 
2, 3, and 8. Ten plots were in the thin soils on the pavement area (zone 3) 
and twenty in the deeper soils upslope (zone 4). In each we counted pine 
seedlings (first and second year trees) to see if pine establishment differed 
between glades and outcrops, and to determine why these communities remain 


open (see MacRoberts & MacRoberts 1993). 


470 PHY TOLOGIA volume 75(6):463-480 December 1993 


Using aerial photographs, we located 33 additional outcrop communities 
and surveyed each of these at least once, noting extent of sandstone pavement, 
erosion, flora, condition, typical and rare species, size, and other features. 
These surveys extended from February 1992 until December 1993. 

Climatic data are given in Martin et al. (1990). Annual precipitation av- 
erages about 125 cm and is fairly evenly distributed throughout the year. In 
summer, temperatures rise to 35° C, which, combined with short droughts, 
translates into very hot and dry conditions, especially in open areas. 


RESULTS 


No vascular plant grew entirely on bare rock (zone 2); these areas were 
either bare or lichen covered. Lichens, mosses, and vascular plants occurred 
in zone 3. Depending on soil depth, there might also be a few very stunted 
pines or oaks. Lichens and mosses were found almost entirely in zones 2 and 3, 
and in the shallow soils between 3 and 4. When soil depth increased, lichens 
dropped out and were replaced by forbs and grasses, and by an occasional 
shrub. The few trees and shrubs growing in zone 4 usually occurred in scat- 
tered clumps. Zone 5 typically began abruptly as dense woods with heavy 
mid- and understory. 

Table 2 gives soil characteristics of the various zones. We collected soil 
samples from nine outcrops. These represent all zones, but especially 3 and 
4, notably near rare species such as Schoenolirion and Talinum (both occur 
in zone 3). In Table 2 we have combined and averaged also, soils from several 
outcrops. Soils for zone 4 are divided into two groups: 4a is the upper 15 cm; 
4b is 0.5 m deep or deeper. The upper layer of zone 4 is dark grey to black, 
but changes to light grey or buff between 0.25 and 0.5 m. 

It was abundantly clear prior to soil analysis that the vegetation in the 
outcrop openings was usually calciphilous, and that almost always in the im- 
mediate vicinity of outcrops there was calcareous forest and very occasionally 
remnant calcareous prairie. Species characterizing calcareous forest and prairie 
are Aesculus pavia L., Andropogon spp., Apocynum cannabinum L., Aristida 
spp., Berchemia scandens, Bumelia lycioides (L.) Pers., Crataegus spp., Dalea 
spp., Gleditsta triacanthos L., Helianthus hirsutus Raf., Juniperus virginiana, 
Neptunia lutea (Leavenw.) Benth., Prunus spp., Ratibida pinnata ( Vent.) Barn- 
hart, Salvia azurea Lam., Schizachyrium spp., Schrankia microphylla (Sm.) 
Macbr., and Viburnum dentatum L. 

To have a standard by which to judge their soil properties and those of 
associated communities, we collected and analyzed soils from two well stud- 
ied calcareous prairies (Carpenter Road Prairie and Coldwater Road Prairie, 
Smith et al. 1989) in the Winn Ranger District of the Kisatchie National For- 
est about 65 km northeast of our study sites. We also had soils analyzed from

two calcareous prairie remnants (Ratibida Prairie and K50H Prairie) and one 
calcareous forest located near outcrops on the Kisatchie Ranger District. The 
number of samples collected and analyzed from each area, zone, and site is 
shown in parentheses in the table. The average is given where there is more 
than one sample. 

The area in which we located outcrops during our survey is a band several 
miles wide that runs east-west across the entire Kisatchie District (a distance 
of about 30 km). This band appears to correspond with the Lena Member 
of the Fleming Formation, the chief characteristic of which is its “calcareous 
clays” (Gorat & Roland 1984). 

It was not surprising therefore to find that the soil samples confirmed what 
the vegetation already told us. The soils were calcareous. In some places, we 
found narrow strata consisting of nothing but calcareous concretions frequently 
there were small calcium aggregations scattered on the surface and mixed 
throughout the soils. This admixture may account for the low pH and high 
calcium in the samples. 

The Natchitoches Parish soil survey classifies the areas in which the out- 
crops occur as Kisatchie soils; that is, “fine, montmorillonitic, thermic Typic 
Hapludalfs” (Martin et al. 1990). With the exception of high calcium, they are 
identical in acidity and mineral contents to the soils of the sandstone glades 
we studied earlier (MacRoberts & MacRoberts 1992, 1993). 

As the data in the table show, the soils in KG30-2 and KG30-3 are as 
calcareous as the soils in the calcareous prairies. While some differences exist 
between the outcrop soils and those described from the prairies, notably surface 
pH and magnesium, the calcium content is approximately the same. 

Tables 3 and 4 give information on tree distribution in transects in outcrop 
communities. 

A comparison of the data given in our previous papers (MacRoberts & 
MacRoberts 1990, 1993) shows that outcrops and glades are very similar in 


MacRoberts & MacRoberts: Sandstone outcrop flora 473 


the distribution and abundance of trees, and that they differ in a number of 
ways from bogs and pinewoods. In pinewoods there was one tree per 11 square 
m, in glades there was one tree per 23.5 square m, and in bogs one tree per 
35 square m. We found that in outcrops there was one tree per 24 square m. 
In bogs, glades, and outcrops the trees are stunted and old growth. However, 
bogs lack oaks, which are common in both glades and outcrops. In outcrops, 
trees are almost entirely confined to zones 1, 4, and 5. Zones 2 and 3 lack 
sufficient soil for trees to survive. 

In our previous study, we found that the growth rate of pines differed 
significantly among glades, bogs, and pinewoods. Trees in glades grew at the 
slowest rate, averaging 11.5 rings per cm; bogs came next with 8.6 rings per 
cm; and trees in upland pinewoods had 3.7 rings per cm. The growth rate 
of pines from KG30-3 zone 4 was intermediate between bogs and glades, with 
10.75 rings per cm (the four trees had 11, 11, 11, and 10 rings per cm). While 
this sample is small, it is unlikely that a larger sample would significantly alter 
the results since the trees in outcrops — as in bogs and glades ~ are clearly under 
stress (stunted, gnarled, and with scanty foliage). 

In the outcrop communities, pine seedlings were absent in zone 2 and scarce 
in zone 3. In the ten one m square plots we examined in zone 3, there were 
only two seedlings. In the 20 plots from zone 4, there were 13 seedlings. In 
glades, pine seedlings fared better: 50 plots had 169 seedlings (MacRoberts 
& MacRoberts 1993). But the end result is the same in these two habitats. 
Irrespective of the number of pines that sprout and survive for a year or two, 
the vast majority eventually die. By the end of summer, after a few July and 
August droughts, very few pine seedlings remain. 

Why do outcrop communities remain open? Several factors seem impor- 
tant (MacRoberts & MacRoberts 1990, 1993). First, edaphic conditions may 
be unfavorable. The soil itself appears to be nonabsorbant.. We have exca- 
vated post holes in outcrops after two days of rain only to find that the soil 
is dry 10-15 cm below the surface. Also in outcrops, as in glades, there is an 
impermeable layer of rock. Further, even where soils are deep, the soil char- 
acteristics themselves impede woody plant establishment. The soil is high in 
calcium, which is known to deter growth in many plants including pines, and 
is stiff and seasonally droughty with high shrink-swell properties (Martin & 
Smith 1991: 64). Open areas are subject to very high summer temperatures 
and short droughts put severe stress on pine seedlings. But the fact that trees 
and midstory vegetation begin abruptly in zone 5 would indicate that there is 
something different between the soils in zones 4 and 5. The soil samples did 
not reveal what that might be. 

During the course of this study we surveyed 36 outcrop communities in the 
Kisatchie District. These ranged in size from 0.1-2.0 ha (average 0.8 ha). Most 
contained all zones, but several consisted entirely or almost entirely of zone 4 
(t.e., were prairie-like) but were on slopes, not hilltops. That we were dealing

with an outcrop community at such sites was usually evident by the flora and 
also by the presence, discovered with minimal searching, of a rock ledge down 
slope, hidden by shrubby vegetation, that had not eroded out to pavement 
dimensions. Since all of these outcrops occurred at approximately 75 m above 
sea level, and since the rock layer was similar throughout, we assume that the 
same geological strata are repeated wherever outcrops occur. 


NOTEWORTHY SPECIES 


During the course of this study we found a number of species that deserve 
additional comment. 

Schoenolirion wrightw. (MacRoberts & MacRoberts 1901 [VDB]). This 
species is globally, federally, and state listed as rare (G3, C2, $1 Louisiana, S2 
Texas) (see Nixon & Ward 1981; Orzell 1990; Grace 1993; for literature and 
recent reviews). 

Between April 17, 1993, when we first discovered Schoenohtrion wrighti on 
the Kisatchie National Forest and May 7, 1993, when it had ceased blooming 
and was becoming difficult to locate, we surveyed 19 outcrops in the western 
part of the Kisatchie Ranger District and found it at five sites (26%), often 
in large numbers (Table 5). The five populations are all located in T6N R8W 
a few miles north of Kisatchie, Louisiana. Within this area, the closest two 
populations are about 1 km apart; the most distant are 5 km apart. 

In three outcrops Schoenolirion wrighti was confined to a small area. In 
the other two, it was much more widespread. In these latter two sites, cattle 
had been excluded for several years. In one of the outcrops where grazing 
occurred, the small population of S. wright was entirely grazed down just 
after it had set seed. 

In an outcrop bisected by a road, a recent non-growing season prescribed 
burn (February 13, 1993) had burned the southern half. Although Schoeno- 


MacRoberts & MacRoberts: Sandstone outcrop flora 475 


lirion wrighti bloomed and set seed in both burned and unburned portions, 
plants appeared to be more prolific and larger in the unburned area. 

We examined soils in the five outcrops in which Schoenoltrion wrightiw 
occurred. These soils are the same as those reported for zone 3 in Table 2 and 
can be as shallow as a few inches only. 

Carex meadit. (MacRoberts & MacRoberts 1889 [VDB]). Prior to the 
present study, this western species had been reported only once from Louisiana 
(Williams 1977; MacRoberts 1989), and specimens from three other parishes 
have recently been found in herbaria (Julia Larke, pers. comm.). It is currently 
ranked as rare (S1) in Louisiana. Although we made no special attempt to 
search for this species, we located three outcrops where it occurred in zone 4. 
Two of these are within 1 km of each other; the other is about 6 km distant. 

Selaginella arenicolassp. riddellit. (MacRoberts & MacRoberts 1809 |VDB)). 
Riddell’s spikemoss is rare (S1) in Louisiana. It occurs in zone 3 and is often 
associated with moss or lichens. We surveyed 36 outcrops in the Kisatchie 
Ranger District and found it, often in large mats, in five. The plants are easily 
dislodged by cattle trampling. 

Talinum parviflorum. (MacRoberts & MacRoberts 1759, 1780 |VDB)). 
This plant is rare in Louisiana (S1). At the beginning of this study, it was only 
known from three closely adjacent outcrops on the Kisatchie Ranger District. 
We found it in 24 of the 36 outcrops we surveyed, often in large numbers (more 
than 1000 plants). It grows almost exclusively in thin soils in slight depres- 
sions on the rock pavements in full sun (zone 3). It blooms in late afternoon. 
We collected soils in which Talinum grew from eight outcrops. All appear to 
be soils typical of zone 3. 

Habranthus tubispathus (L’Herit.) Traub. (MacRoberts & MacRoberts 2093 
[VDB]). While not considered rare, we found this West Gulf Coastal Plain 
endemic at one outcrop, where it was abundant. It did not occur at KG30-2, 
3, or 8. 

It is found in barrens/glade/prairie habitat in southeast Texas (Orzell 
1990). 


DISCUSSION 


During the course of this work, it became evident that we were sealing with 
a community that consisted of a sandstone outcrop and upslope a calcareous 
opening that would best fit the definition of prairie. But we have chosen not to 
call these upslope openings prairies after examining “true” calcareous prairies, 
which appear to be floristically somewhat different, are located on hilltops, not 
side slopes, and which are alkaline and usually more calcareous. Nonetheless, 
the upslope openings (zone 4) should be looked at as a type of calcareous 
prairie since their soils are calcareous and their flora is calciphilous. 


476 PHY FT OL,0 GIA volume 75(6):463-480 December 1993 


The outcrop communities occurring in the Kisatchie National Forest ap- 
pear to be very similar to the open (“prairie-like” or “barrens”) communities 
described by Marietta & Nixon (1984), Bridges & Orzell (1989), Orzell (1990), 
and Mohlenbrock (1993) for east Texas. They are similar also to a number 
of barrens, glades, and prairies described for Arkansas and Missouri eastward. 
Notably similar appear to be the various cedar glades of Tennessee and Ken- 
tucky (Baskin & Baskin 1975, 1985, 1989; DeSelm 1986) and the “Black Belt” 
flora of Alabama (Robert Kral, pers. comm.). 

We did not divide out floristic surveys according to zones. But clearly if 
we had done so, the different zones would have shown significant differences. 
Many plants that grow on the thin soils overlaying rock outcrops do not grow 
in the upslope zones, and vice versa. For example, Talinum and Selaginella are 
found only on or near rock pavements (zone 3); whereas the many composites, 
peas, and grasses typically occur in zone 4. It should be remembered, however, 
that what does grow on these outcrops is in part determined by the soils that 
erode down onto them from above and that, in the present case, these are 
usually calcareous. Since we have not had the opportunity to study outcrops 
with other soils upslope, we are not in a position to say how different they 
might be. 

KG30-2, 3, and 8 were grazed. While this was not an ideal condition under 
which to make a floristic study, it did provide us with information on the ef- 
fect of cattle on these communities. In a word, cattle have a disastrous effect. 
Not only do they crop the plants (they ate all the newly seeded Schoenolirion 
wrighti from one outcrop), but they crush and dislodge lichens and other 
plants, especially in zones 2 and 3. Trampling also initiates erosion in zones 
1 and 4, where soils are so unstable (Martin et al. 1990) that massive ero- 
sion results, which not only sweeps away the soil above the rock shelf, but 
undermines the rock itself. The devastation caused by cattle shows that these 
communities require a good stable ground cover to keep them intact. Many of 
the outcrops on the Kisatchie National Forest that were once grazed are now 
free of cattle, and we are happy to report that the Forest Service has fenced 
the outcrops where this study took place. 

One thing that did surprise us was that, although the three outcrops were 
grazed, we found no noticable difference in our floristic lists between them and 
outcrops that had not been grazed for some years. The only difference was that 
grasses in grazed areas were difficult to find and in short supply. Undoubtedly, 
a study using plots would reveal many differences in composition and number 
of species present between grazed and ungrazed sites. 

Our work on open xeric rocky communities in the Kisatchie National Forest 
has convinced us that there are at least two distinct types (MacRoberts & 
MacRoberts 1993). This year’s field work establishes that sandstone outcrops 
are clearly distinct from sandstone glades. 

This finding clarifies some confusion that currently exists in the Louisiana 


MacRoberts & MacRoberts: Sandstone outcrop flora 477 


botanical literature. The community initially described by Smith (1988) was 
a sandstone outcrop, but when Martin & Smith (1991) described the major 
community types of the Kisatchie District of the Kisatchie National Forest, 
they reiterated Smith’s 1988 description of the outcrop community, but exem- 
plified it with a glade community. Hart & Lester (1993), without additional 
research or reference to the growing literature, have perpetuated the confusion 
by synonymizing glade and outcrop. Future community classifications should 
distinguish between sandstone outcrops and sandstone glades. 


ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 


The continuing cooperation and assistance of the staff of the Kisatchie 
National Forest have been instrumental in making this study, as in all our 
botanical research, possible. Especially to be thanked are Tom Fair, Susan 
Carr, and Viola Ritchie. Allan Tiarks, Southern Forest Experiment Station, 
answered some questions we had about the soil data. Financial support was 
provided, in part, by a Challenge Cost-Share Agreement with the Kisatchie 
National Forest. Robert Kral vetted a number of the plants, notably our 
Carer specimens. Julia Larke, Louisiana Natural Heritage Program, provided 
information on Carer meadii and other rare plant species. Jerry Baskin and 
Robert Kral made helpful comments on the paper.

ARENARIA GYPSOSTRATA B.L. TURNER, A NEW NAME FOR A. 
HINTONIORUM B.L. TURNER, NOT A. HINTONIORUM B.L. TURNER 


Billie L. Turner 
Department of Botany, University of Texas, Austin, Texas 78713 U.S.A. 
ABSTRACT 


A new name (Arenaria gypsostrata) is required to substitute for 
A. hintoniorum which is a later homonym of a previous A. hintontorum. 


KEY WORDS: Caryophyllaceae, Arenarza, México, gypsophile 


Arenaria gypsostrata B.L. Turner, nom. nov. Based upon Arenaria hinto- 
niorum B.L. Turner, Phytologia 75:406. 1993 [Feb 1994]. Not Arenarza 
hintoniorum B.L. Turner, Phytologia 7259. 1992. 


In my overzealous effort to eponymise the remarkable Hinton family, a lapse 


permitted the nomenclatural mistake corrected here, for which my apologies 
to the Hinton family and the broader systematic community.

Information for Authors 


Articles from botanical systematics and ecology, including 
biographical sketches, critical reviews, and summaries of literature will 
be considered for publication in PHYTOLOGIA. Manuscripts may be 
submitted either on computer diskette, or as typescript. Diskettes will be 
returned to authors after action has been taken on the manuscript. 
Diskettes may be 5.25 inches or 3.5 inches and may be written in any 
IBM or MacIntosh compatible format. Typescript manuscripts should be 
single spaced and will be read into the computer using a page scanner. 
The scanner will read standard typewriter fonts but will not read dot 
matrix print. Manuscripts submitted in dot matrix print cannot be ac- 
cepted. Use underscore (not italics) for scientific names. Corrections 
made on typescript manuscripts must be complete and neat as the scan- 
ner will not read them otherwise. Language of manuscripts may be either 
English or Spanish. Figures will be reduced to fit within limits of text 
pages and therefore, should be submitted with an internal scale and have 
dimensions proportional to those for text pages. Legends for figures 
should ‘be included in figures whenever possible. Each manuscript 
. should have an abstract and key word list. Specimen citations should be 


consistent throughout the manuscript. Serial titles should be cited with 


abbreviations used in Botanico Periodicum Huntianum. References 
cited only as part of nomenclatural summaries should not appear in 


Literature Cited. Nomenclatural work should include one paragraph per 
basionym and must provide proper (as defined by the current Interna- 


tional Code of Botanical Nomenclature) citation of sources of epithets 
and combinations. 


Authors should arrange for two workers in the appropriate field to 
review the manuscript before submission. Copies of reviews should be 
forwarded to the editor with the manuscript. Manuscripts will not be 
published without review. 


Cost of publication is currently $13.00 US per page for publication 
without reprints, Publication with 100 reprints is provided for $18.00 US. 
per page, 200 reprints for $21.50 US per page. Page charges are due with 
manuscript and no paper will be published before payment is receivedin 
full. Reprints must be ordered and paid for in advance. Page charges will /

(horizontal) by 219 mm (vertical), not including running head and page’ 


number. Title page should include title, author(s) mame(s), and ) 
address(es). Two blank lines should appear above and below section ~ 


headings (Abstract, Discussion, Literature Cited, etc.) in the manuscript. 


No extra charge is made for line drawings provided they conform to Wh, 
limitations of size and proportion for normal text. Halftones require an” 


extra charge of $10.00 US per page.
