TERMINOLOGY TUESDAY 🌿 w/ the Florida Native Plant Society! Terminology Tuesday features weekly short videos teaching you botanical vocabulary (and now ecological terms) to help you get to know and understand our Florida flora. From beginner basics to advanced botany, we will cover it all, Tuesday by Tuesday! Population: A group of the same species of organisms living in the same area. Community: A group of different species living in the same area. Specifically; natural communities are distinct and recurring assemblages of plants, animals, fungi and microorganisms naturally associated with each other within their physical environment. Communities are the biotic (living), component of an ecosystem; and exclude abiotic (non-living) factors such as temperature, minerals, humidity, pH, elevation, etc. Ecosystem: An ecosystem (or ecological system) consists of all the organisms and the physical environment with which they interact. Ecosystems include biotic and abiotic factors, and can be generalized or specific in scale. Thanks for tuning in!

The terms of the week are all “secondary” taxonomic ranks below the rank of species;

Form:
The taxonomic ranking of a population within a species exhibiting noticeable morphological deviation (visible differences), but are not especially genetically or geographically distinct. The same form can occur naturally in populations of a species across different regions, so can be genetically isolated from one another (not genetically distinct).
Can be denoted in the Latin binomial with the abbreviation “f.”
Example: Sarracenia flava f. atropurpurea

Variety:
The taxonomic ranking of a population within a species that is both morphologically and genetically distinct.
Can be denoted in the Latin binomial with the abbreviation “var.”
Example: Rhododendron viscosum var. viscosum

Subspecies:
The taxonomic ranking of a population within a species that is morphologically, genetically, and geographically distinct.
Can be denoted in the Latin binomial with the abbreviation “ssp.”
Example: Opuntia mesacantha ssp. lata

Here are the terms for this week;

Genus:
The taxonomic category that ranks above species, and below the family. It’s the first part of the Latin Binomial, and the genus name is always capitalized.

Monotypic Genus:
A genus that contains only one species. Serenoa is an example of a monotypic genus, because there is only one species within Serenoa.

Here are the terms for this week;

Agriculture:
The science and practice of farming: cultivating the soil to grow crops (plants used for food and materials), often using machinery like plows and tractors, and rearing animals (livestock) to provide food, wool, and other products.

Horticulture:
A branch of agriculture focused on growing and cultivating plants for food, medicine, and aesthetic or ornamental purposes. Gardening is a type of horticultural practice.

These terms, Botany, Taxonomy, Horticulture, and Agriculture, all intermingle and overlap in many ways. Like many terms we use in biological sciences, they can sometimes be challenging to define distinctly from one another. Many human practices in relation to plants are a combination of some or all of these terms.

Did you know….
October is Florida Native Plant Month!

The Florida Native Plant Society chose the month of October because, while many states have stunning displays of spring flowers, Florida’s mild climate provides a spectacular showcase of native flowers and grasses in the fall as well. Additionally, with a slight drop in the temperature, October is the month when many Floridians escape the confines of their air-conditioned home to visit our beautiful parks and preserves or to work in their gardens.

October is also a great time to PLANT native wildflowers, trees, and shrubs! Fall planting allows new transplants to establish a healthy root system before the active growing season in spring and is a natural time to plant native wildflower seeds as well!

Here are the terms for this week;

Common Name:
Colloquial names that are not standardized and vary across regions, continents, and languages.

Latin Binomial:
The name that describes a distinct species in Latin, and is standardized internationally. The “two-name” begins with the genus, which is always capitalized, followed by the species, which is not capitalized.
For example, the binomial for human beings is Homo sapiens.

Latin names can be intimidating, but they are essential for communicating about plants. It helps to take Latin, but it’s not necessary. Don’t worry too much about correct pronunciation, just sound it out and give it a go!

Have you ever seen Wiregrass in flower?

Fall is peak bloom season for our native grasses, although their flowers are overlooked by most. Grasses, like oaks and pines, rely on wind for pollination rather than insects.

Because they don’t have to create showy blooms to attract pollinators, their flowers are usually inconspicuous, so many humans overlook them. Keep your eyes peeled for grasses in flower this fall, and enjoy their subtle, golden beauty.

Seen here is Southern Wiregrass, Aristida beyrichiana, in flower.

Welcome back to 🌿 TERMINOLOGY TUESDAY 🌿 with the Florida Native Plant Society!

Today we are joined by Wes Knapp, Chief Botanist at Natureserve, a conservation nonprofit that uses biodiversity data to help prevent extinctions of species and elimination of habitat across America.

How do we rank the conservation need for each species?

The primary tool used to prioritize the conservation needs of individual species is the global and state ranking system used by NatureServe. The ranking system facilitates a quick assessment of a species’ rarity at both the global level and on a state level (since some species that are globally secure may have vulnerable populations within a state).

Species are assigned both a global (G) and state (S) rank on a scale of 1 to 5. A number of factors, such as the total population size, the number of occurrences, threats, etc., contribute to the assignment of global and state ranks. The information supporting these ranks is developed and maintained by the Natural Heritage Program and NatureServe.

These rankings are included on Wikipedia pages of individual species, on the Natureserve Explorer, the US Fish & Wildlife Service, US Forest Service, in Weakley’s Flora of The Southeastern United States, and many other sources.

G1: Critically Imperiled — At very high risk of extinction or collapse due to very restricted range, very few populations or occurrences, very steep declines, very severe threats, or other factors.

G2: Imperiled — At high risk of extinction or collapse due to restricted range, few populations or occurrences, steep declines, severe threats, or other factors.

G3: Vulnerable — At moderate risk of extinction or collapse due to a fairly restricted range, relatively few populations or occurrences, recent and widespread declines, threats, or other factors.

G4: Apparently Secure — At fairly low risk of extinction or collapse due to an extensive range and/or many populations or occurrences, but with possible cause for some concern as a result of local recent declines, threats, or other factors.

G5: Secure — At very low risk or extinction or collapse due to a very extensive range, abundant populations or occurrences, and little to no concern from declines or threats.

The state rankings (S) have the same definitions, but the number rank may vary depending on the status of that species within each state.
