New Fossil Aquatic Plant Discovered

Using the oldest, most complete fossil angiosperm on record, Dr. David Dilcher,
a palaeobotanist with the Florida Museum of Natural History at the University of
Florida, recently announced the discovery of a new basal angiosperm family of
aquatic plant, Archaefructaceae. The announcement was published in the journal
Science with coauthors Ge Sun of the Research Center of Palaeontology at Jilin
University, Qiang Ji of the Geological Institute of the Chinese Academy of
Geosciences at Beijing and three others (full citation below).
The new family consists of a single genus, Archaefructus, with two species, A.
liaoningensis and A. sinensis sp. nov. from the Yixian Formation in Liaoning,
northeastern China. The fossils are believed to be at least 124.6 million years old
and possibly as old as 145 million years (corresponding with Lower Cretaceous to
the uppermost Upper Jurassic periods). A specimen is deposited with the Geological
Institute of the Chinese Academy of Geosciences at Beijing. Five nearly complete
fossil plant specimens in various stages of reproductive maturity were examined.
When all characters of the two species were analyzed using a combined matrix of
morphology and molecular data, it was determined that a new family of flowering
plants was required, Archaefructaceae, which should be considered a sister taxon to
extant angiosperms.
The Archaefructaceae are believed to have been aquatic plants because of the long,
thin, herbaceous stems that would have required water for support. The finely
dissected compound leaves also suggest an aquatic habitat. In addition, the leaves
have a swollen petiole base, especially the leaves closest to the reproductive organs
and farthest from the base of the plant. This feature would have provided buoyancy
to the plant and aided in supporting the reproductive organs above the water during
pollination and possibly seed dispersal. Numerous fish (Lycoptera davidi Sauvage)
are preserved with the fossil plants, further supporting the conclusion that
Archaefructus was aquatic.
The researchers state that Archaefructus is part of a complex basal group in
angiosperm evolution and does not represent the original angiosperm. They suggest
that the original angiosperm may have been a submerged aquatic plant such as some
Nymphaeales.

Angiosperm Family by Ge Sun, Qiang Ji, David L. Dilcher, Shaolin Zheng, Kevin

Macrophyte Ecology within Experimental Reed
Beds Applied for Heavy Metal Removal
by Miklas Scholz, University of Bradford, School of Engineering, Environmental Water
Engineering Research Group, West Yorkshire BD7 1DP, UK; E-mail: m.scholz(bradford.
ac.uk
Background
Wetlands can be applied for passive treatment of diffuse pollution including mine
wastewater drainage (Kadlec and Knight, 1995). The functions of macrophytes in
terms of their physical effect on wetlands have been reviewed extensively (Brix,
1994). The biology of Phragmites australis was reviewed in 'Biological Flora of the
British Isles' (e.g.; Haslam 1972). However, the role of macrophytes within complex
reed bed ecosystems treating heavy metal pollution has not yet been fully reported.
The aim of this paper is to compare experimental wetland filters of different
composition.
Materials and Methods
Wetland habitats were simulated on a laboratory scale with six vertical-flow wetland
buckets. The empty bucket volume was 59.2 dm Table 1 indicates the packing
order of filter media and plant roots in January 2000.
The experiment ran continuously with modified inflow water taken from a nearby
beck. In order to simulate metal contamination such as may be found in process
water from mining, copper sulfate and lead sulfate were added to the inflow water to
give concentrations of 1.000 and 1.277 mg dm-3, respectively.
The range of the hydraulic load per filter bucket was between 1.35 and 2.02 cm d-
(mean: 1.91 cm d- ). In June 2000, water evaporation accounted for approx. 0.08 cm
d- Phragmites australis evapotranspiration for approx. 0.15 cm d- and Typha
latifolia evapotranspiration for a value between 0.12 and 0.17 cm d .

Discussion and Conclusions
Standardized set-up cost ratios in England (Spring 2000) for Filters 1 to 6 (Table 1)
are 1 : 2 : 3 : 37 : 41 : 42, respectively. However, the overall reduction performance
of all filters in terms of lead, copper, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD),
suspended solids, turbidity and bacteria was substantially great and similar for all
filters during the first five months of operation (Table 2).

Table 3 presents a summary of the performance parameter for Phragmites australis.
Filter 3 showed a relative poor performance (Tables 2 and 3) which may have
resulted from a high level of plant decay indicated by mid leaf color transformation
(Pavey, 1978). Shoot density was high, stem diameters were sufficiently large and
leaf/stem ratios were low (Table 3). These are indicators of good general
performance (defined by Haslam, 1972). The strong normal plant diameter
distribution shows that the physical strength and growth performance of Phragmites
is independent of filter media and fertilizer application. However, shading decreased
the stem diameters (Haslam, 1972) of Phragmites growing in fertilized filter media
(Table 3).
The filters containing macrophytes contributed artificially to the inflow BOD. The
real inflow BOD to the filter media was, therefore, the sum of the natural inflow
BOD (10 40%) and the BOD resulting from plant decay (60 90%). BOD
resulting from plant decay was greatest for filters containing Typha. The addition of
fertilizer (Filter 6 only) increased the degradation rate.

The presence of Phragmites (dominant stands) and Typha in all reed beds does not
lead to an overall increase of the wetland performance in laboratory scale
experiments. Plant decay within all reed beds resulted in increases in biochemical
oxygen demand and bacteria numbers within the water layer on top of the litter zone.

Frequently non-native invasive plants look very similar to desirable native plants. Managers and
citizens ask, "How do you tell them apart? Which should we promote and which should we
destroy?"
Included with this issue of AQUAPHYTE is a color ID flyer that demonstrates which two
Nymphoides species in Florida are native and which two species are non-native. Its printing and
distribution was funded by two herbicide companies: SePRO and Helena Chemical Company.

New Line Drawings!
A Case of MISTAKEN IDENTITY?
It is easily possible to confuse the two small trees shown here. However,
one is a desirable native to be left alone in Florida; the other is a highly
invasive non-native in the state. Both are Ardisia species. Both grow in the
same habitats of southern Florida. They grow to about the same height (up to
20 feet), have relatively large, leathery, simple leaves with smooth margins,
and both produce hanging clusters of black fruits.

Marlberry
Ardisia escallonioides
Native in Florida
The native plant, marlberry (Ardisia escallonioides), is somewhat less robust and less
leafy, although it may be taller, than shoebutton. Marlberry flowers and fruit clusters are
terminal, hanging at the ends of branches. Color pictures of marlberry may be found here.

NATIVE AQUATIC PLANTS
Lest we forget, with so much current emphasis on invasive non-natives, most plants in the U.S. are
native; beneficial to animals, humans, and the environment; and often beautiful. So, here are two photo-
murals of 76 native freshwater plants of the U.S.. Of the plants depicted, 100% are in Florida; 97% are also
found in the rest of the Southeast U.S.; 50% are found in the Eastern U.S.; 22% are found in the West; and 22%
are found throughout most of the U.S.

The Collection of Aquatic and Wetland Plants of
the Czech Republic
by Lubomir Adamec and Stepin Husik, Institute of Botany of the Academy of
Sciences of the Czech Republic, Section of Plant Ecology, Dukelska 135, CZ-37982
Trebon, Czech Republic, E-mail: adamec@(gbutbn.cas.czhusak(@butbn.cas.cz
The Collection of Aquatic and Wetland Plants (CAWP) was started in 1976 as a living
collection of Czechoslovak aquatic higher plant species as part of the Section of Plant Ecology of
the Institute of Botany at the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic (known as the
Department of Hydrobotany before 1987). Research has been conducted continuously at the
Institute in the fields of ecophysiology, production ecology, geobotany, phytosociology, and
taxonomy of higher aquatic and wetland plants (and also algae). It became necessary to establish
a limited plant collection to aid in this research.
The range of species in the Collection has widened markedly since its establishment. In 2001,
about 350 species, hybrids, or cultivars were kept in the CAWP. The dominant majority of these
species (>90 %) are indigenous in the Czech Republic; the others are mainly from Central
Europe. Thus, the CAWP is focused on aquatic and wetland temperate plant species of Central
Europe; the proportion of subtropical species or species from other continents is marginal. Taking
into account the great number of items kept in the CAWP, it is evident that it is by far the greatest
collection of native aquatic and wetland plants in Europe and one of the greatest in the world.
Many dozens of native aquatic and wetland plants can usually be found in several distinguished
botanical gardens in Western Europe but the collection in such gardens is mainly focused on
conspicuous ornamental species. The CAWP contains both higher plants and Charophytes
(stoneworts). All ecological forms of aquatic and wetland plants are represented in the collection:
rooted and rootless submersed, floating-leaved, free floating, and emergent plants, perennial
species as well as annuals. The CAWP contains all Czech carnivorous plant species and many
bog and fen plant species. Very common, as well as critically endangered, rare plant species are
part of the Collection; some of the endangered plant species are almost extinct in the Czech flora.
Importantly, the CAWP also contains species which were extinct in the Czech flora in the last
decades (e.g., Aldrovanda vesiculosa, Pilularia globulifera, Typha minima). In spite of the
continuous renewal of species in the CAWP, approximately 15-30 susceptible plant species may
be lacking from the species list every year. The species most difficult to keep are aquatic annual
species, lemnids, or those growing mostly in cold running waters (e.g., Ranunculus subgenus
Batrachium spp.). A specific section of the CAWP is represented by ephemeral plants growing in
wet denuded soils. These species (e.g., Centunculus minimus, Illecebrum verticillatum,
Coleanthus subtilis, Cyperus flavescens, Juncus capitatus, J. tenageia ) belong to the most
endangered taxa not only in the flora of the Czech Republic but also in Europe and to species
most rapidly vanishing from natural sites. Some of them are grown and reproduced with
difficulty.
Although for practical reasons the CAWP is not open to the general public as a botanical garden,
our purpose has been to make the Collection accessible to as many specialists and students as
possible. Every year, the staff guides dozens of school excursions through the CAWP, including
primary school pupils, inland and foreign university students and staff, and participants of the
UNESCO Training Course on Limnology. Moreover, the CAWP serves as a gene pool for rare
and endangered species, provides plant material for experiments and studies, comparative
material for determinations and botanical illustrations, and is used for the teaching of botany and
plant ecology. Also, conservation-based (i.e., rescue) cultivations of ca. 30 endangered species
originated with plant specimens from the CAWP. Plants of 17 species from these cultivations
have been used for reintroductions mostly to the Trebonsko Biosphere Reserve in the last six
years. In addition to the CAWP, a (sub)tropical carnivorous plant collection (ca. 55 species) is
situated in a heated greenhouse.
The CAWP covers an area of ca. 0.04 ha. The temperate-zone plants are grown outdoors, while
the several (sub)tropical species are in a heated greenhouse. Each plant species is usually grown
in plastic pots, which are put in bigger containers. Robust helophyte species (e.g., reeds, cattails,
sedges) grow individually in smaller plastic containers. All plastic containers are sunken and
embedded in the ground to minimize thermal fluctuations, both in summer and winter. Smaller
aquatic Utricularia species grow in 3-1 miniaquaria floating in cooling water of a big container.
Their winter buds (turions) overwinter in small flasks in a refrigerator. Rooted aquatic plants
growing in deeper containers (65 cm) overwinter under water. During periods of frost, ice cover
in these containers may be up to 40 cm thick but the dominant majority of aquatic plants survive
these conditions without being damaged. Frost-sensitive (sub)Atlantic species (e.g., Pilularia
globulifera, Littorella uniflora, Luronium natans) are overwintered for safety in a cool
compartment of a greenhouse. During the summer, seasonal shading by wooden bands protects
the plants from overheating and reduces the growth of filamentous algae. Nevertheless, the
growth of filamentous algae (mainly of genera Oedogoniumn, Cladophora, Spirogyra ) is a crucial
problem for growing submersed species. The only effective control is to repeatedly remove the
mats gently and with patience by hand. On summer days, pH values in some containers may
exceed 10 due to algal photosynthesis. We sometimes add ethanol (ca. 10-20 microliters per liter)
or starch (ca. 20 mg. per liter) to the containers to decrease high pH by enhanced respiration. Soft
tap water is used for watering the plants. In helophytes, sandy substrates are renewed every 2-3
years. One technical assistant and two curators (authors of this paper) look after the CAWP.
Using the Collection
We welcome interested colleagues to the Section of Plant Ecology at Trebon and are glad to
guide them through our Collection and conservation-based cultivations. Our plant material may
be offered for exchange to other plant collections or sent to colleagues abroad for study purposes.
The complete species list of the CAWP is available on request by e-mail to the curators, or online
at the CAWP web site at http://www.butbn.cas.cz Please send us your species list.
In our species list, all species are classed within three groups. A) species bearing seeds or spores
more or less regularly; it is possible to mail them in the form of seeds or spores; B) species which
may be mailed in vegetative form (turions, rhizomes, tubers, bulbs, parts of clones, shoots); C)
problematic species which are difficult to grow and, thus, are not always at our disposal; they
may be represented e.g. by annual terophytes, which do not set seeds in the CAWP, lemnids, and
some other susceptible species.
Since 1998/1999, the seeds of CAWP (ca. 120-200 items) have been listed in the Index Seminum
which is regularly issued by the Institute of Botany at Pruhonice (see http://www.ibot.cas.cz)).
We would prefer your visit and personal selection and transport of the plants to their mailing by
post.
Simply, we look forward to communication and cooperation with you!

Aquaphyte Summer 2002 AQUAPHYTE ONLINE Summer 2002 New Fossil Aquatic Plant Discovered Using the oldest, most complete fossil angiosperm on record, Dr. David Dilcher, a palaeobotanist with the Florida Museum of Natural History at the University of Florida, recently announced the discovery of a new basal angiosperm family of aquatic plant, Archaefructaceae. The announcement was published in the journal Science with coauthors Ge Sun of the Research Center of Palaeontology at Jilin University, Qiang Ji of the Geological Institute of the Chinese Academy of Geosciences at Beijing and three others (full citation below). The new family consists of a single genus, Archaefructus, with two species, A. liaoningensis and A. sinensis sp. nov. from the Yixian Formation in Liaoning, northeastern China. The fossils are believed to be at least 124.6 million years old and possibly as old as 145 million years (corresponding with Lower Cretaceous to the uppermost Upper Jurassic periods). A specimen is deposited with the Geological Institute of the Chinese Academy of Geosciences at Beijing. Five nearly complete fossil plant specimens in various stages of reproductive maturity were examined. http://plants.ifas.ufl.edu/aq-s02-5.html (1 of 2) [6/6/2008 1:58:01 PM]

Aquaphyte Summer 2002 When all characters of the two species were analyzed using a combined matrix of morphology and molecular data, it was determined that a new family of flowering plants was required, Archaefructaceae, which should be considered a sister taxon to extant angiosperms. The Archaefructaceae are believed to have been aquatic plants because of the long, thin, herbaceous stems that would have required water for support. The finely dissected compound leaves also suggest an aquatic habitat. In addition, the leaves have a swollen petiole base, especially the leaves closest to the reproductive organs and farthest from the base of the plant. This feature would have provided buoyancy to the plant and aided in supporting the reproductive organs above the water during pollination and possibly seed dispersal. Numerous fish (Lycoptera davidi Sauvage) are preserved with the fossil plants, further supporting the conclusion that Archaefructus was aquatic. The researchers state that Archaefructus is part of a complex basal group in angiosperm evolution and does not represent the original angiosperm. They suggest that the original angiosperm may have been a submerged aquatic plant such as some Nymphaeales.

22(1) AQUAPHYTE AQUAPHYTE ONLINE SUMMER 2002 Macrophyte Ecology within Experimental Reed Beds Applied for Heavy Metal Removalby Miklas Scholz, University of Bradford, School of Engineering, Environmental Water Engineering Research Group, West Yorkshire BD7 1DP, UK; E-mail: m.scholz@bradford. ac.uk Background Wetlands can be applied for passive treatment of diffuse pollution including mine wastewater drainage (Kadlec and Knight, 1995). The functions of macrophytes in terms of their physical effect on wetlands have been reviewed extensively (Brix, 1994). The biology of Phragmites australis was reviewed in Biological Flora of the British Isles' (e.g.; Haslam 1972). However, the role of macrophytes within complex reed bed ecosystems treating heavy metal pollution has not yet been fully reported. The aim of this paper is to compare experimental wetland filters of different composition. Materials and Methods Wetland habitats were simulated on a laboratory scale with six vertical-flow wetland buckets. The empty bucket volume was 59.2 dm3. Table 1 indicates the packing order of filter media and plant roots in January 2000. The experiment ran continuously with modified inflow water taken from a nearby beck. In order to simulate metal contamination such as may be found in process water from mining, copper sulfate and lead sulfate were added to the inflow water to give concentrations of 1.000 and 1.277 mg dm-3, respectively. The range of the hydraulic load per filter bucket was between 1.35 and 2.02 cm d-1 (mean: 1.91 cm d-1). In June 2000, water evaporation accounted for approx. 0.08 cm http://plants.ifas.ufl.edu/aq-s02-3.html (1 of 5) [6/6/2008 1:58:02 PM]

However, the overall reduction performance of all filters in terms of lead, copper, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), suspended solids, turbidity and bacteria was substantially great and similar for all filters during the first five months of operation (Table 2).

Filter 3 showed a relative poor performance (Tables 2 and 3) which may have resulted from a high level of plant decay indicated by mid leaf color transformation (Pavey, 1978). Shoot density was high, stem diameters were sufficiently large and leaf/stem ratios were low (Table 3). These are indicators of good general performance (defined by Haslam, 1972). The strong normal plant diameter distribution shows that the physical strength and growth performance of Phragmites is independent of filter media and fertilizer application. However, shading decreased the stem diameters (Haslam, 1972) of Phragmites growing in fertilized filter media (Table 3). The filters containing macrophytes contributed artificially to the inflow BOD. The real inflow BOD to the filter media was, therefore, the sum of the natural inflow BOD (10 40%) and the BOD resulting from plant decay (60 90%). BOD resulting from plant decay was greatest for filters containing Typha. The addition of fertilizer (Filter 6 only) increased the degradation rate. TABLE 3.

Aquaphyte Summer 2002 AQUAPHYTE ONLINE Summer 2002 New Line Drawings! A Case of MISTAKEN IDENTITY?It is easily possible to confuse the two small trees shown here. However, one is a desirable native to be left alone in Florida; the other is a highly invasive non-native in the state. Both are Ardisia species. Both grow in the same habitats of southern Florida. They grow to about the same height (up to 20 feet), have relatively large, leathery, simple leaves with smooth margins, and both produce hanging clusters of black fruits.

Marlberry Ardisia escallonioides Native in Florida The native plant, marlberry (Ardisia escallonioides), is somewhat less robust and less leafy, although it may be taller, than shoebutton. Marlberry flowers and fruit clusters are terminal, hanging at the ends of branches.

Four Photo-Murals Native Freshwater, and Non-Native Invasive APIRS Lest we forget, with so much current emphasis on invasive non-natives, most plants in the U.S. are native; beneficial to animals, humans, and the environment; and often beautiful. So, here are two photomurals of 76 native freshwater plants of the U.S.. Of the plants depicted, 100% are in Florida; 97% are also found in the rest of the Southeast U.S.; 50% are found in the Eastern U.S.; 22% are found in the West; and 22% are found throughout most of the U.S. Click here for the list of plants featured on the two "native" murals.

Volume 22 Number 1 Summer 2002 AQUAPHYTE ONLINE Summer 2002 NATIVE PLANTS JOURNAL Native Plants Journal is a cooperative effort of the USDA Forest Service and the University of Idaho, with assistance from the USDA Agricultural Research Service and the Natural Resources Conservation Service. Our goal is to provide technical and practial information on the growing and planting of North American (Canada, U.S. and Mexico) native plants for restoration, conservation, reforestation, landscaping, roadsides, and so on. Our first issue was printed in January 2000. We need contributions from scientists, academics, field personnel, nursery managers, and others concerning all aspects of growing and planting native plants. Papers are published either refereed or general technical. Please contact Kas Dumroese ( kdumroese@fs.fed.us) if you have a contribution. ______________________ NATIVE PLANTS NETWORK The Native Plants Network is devoted to the sharing of information on how to propagate native plants. Feel free to search the database for species you have interest in, and please take the time to upload protocols of species you successfully grow. You will receive full credit for your entry and have the opportunity to add your company logo to the protocol. If you would like to share some propagation techniques, entry is easy using the Protocol Interface.

Aquaphyte Summer 2002 AQUAPHYTE ONLINE Summer 2002 The Collection of Aquatic and Wetland Plants of the Czech Republic by Lubomr Adamec and Stepn Husk, Institute of Botany of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, Section of Plant Ecology, Dukelsk 135, CZ-37982 Trebon, Czech Republic, E-mail: adamec@butbn.cas.cz husak@butbn.cas.cz The Collection of Aquatic and Wetland Plants (CAWP) was started in 1976 as a living collection of Czechoslovak aquatic higher plant species as part of the Section of Plant Ecology of the Institute of Botany at the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic (known as the Department of Hydrobotany before 1987). Research has been conducted continuously at the Institute in the fields of ecophysiology, production ecology, geobotany, phytosociology, and taxonomy of higher aquatic and wetland plants (and also algae). It became necessary to establish a limited plant collection to aid in this research. The range of species in the Collection has widened markedly since its establishment. In 2001, about 350 species, hybrids, or cultivars were kept in the CAWP. The dominant majority of these species (>90 %) are indigenous in the Czech Republic; the others are mainly from Central Europe. Thus, the CAWP is focused on aquatic and wetland temperate plant species of Central Europe; the proportion of subtropical species or species from other continents is marginal. Taking into account the great number of items kept in the CAWP, it is evident that it is by far the greatest collection of native aquatic and wetland plants in Europe and one of the greatest in the world. Many dozens of native aquatic and wetland plants can usually be found in several distinguished botanical gardens in Western Europe but the collection in such gardens is mainly focused on conspicuous ornamental species. The CAWP contains both higher plants and Charophytes (stoneworts). All ecological forms of aquatic and wetland plants are represented in the collection: rooted and rootless submersed, floating-leaved, free floating, and emergent plants, perennial species as well as annuals. The CAWP contains all Czech carnivorous plant species and many bog and fen plant species. Very common, as well as critically endangered, rare plant species are part of the Collection; some of the endangered plant species are almost extinct in the Czech flora. Importantly, the CAWP also contains species which were extinct in the Czech flora in the last decades (e.g., Aldrovanda vesiculosa, Pilularia globulifera, Typha minima). In spite of the continuous renewal of species in the CAWP, approximately 15-30 susceptible plant species may be lacking from the species list every year. The species most difficult to keep are aquatic annual http://plants.ifas.ufl.edu/aq-s02-22.html (1 of 3) [6/6/2008 1:58:06 PM]

Aquaphyte Summer 2002 species, lemnids, or those growing mostly in cold running waters (e.g., Ranunculus subgenus Batrachium spp.). A specific section of the CAWP is represented by ephemeral plants growing in wet denuded soils. These species (e.g., Centunculus minimus, Illecebrum verticillatum, Coleanthus subtilis, Cyperus flavescens, Juncus capitatus, J. tenageia ) belong to the most endangered taxa not only in the flora of the Czech Republic but also in Europe and to species most rapidly vanishing from natural sites. Some of them are grown and reproduced with difficulty. Although for practical reasons the CAWP is not open to the general public as a botanical garden, our purpose has been to make the Collection accessible to as many specialists and students as possible. Every year, the staff guides dozens of school excursions through the CAWP, including primary school pupils, inland and foreign university students and staff, and participants of the UNESCO Training Course on Limnology. Moreover, the CAWP serves as a gene pool for rare and endangered species, provides plant material for experiments and studies, comparative material for determinations and botanical illustrations, and is used for the teaching of botany and plant ecology. Also, conservation-based (i.e., rescue) cultivations of ca. 30 endangered species originated with plant specimens from the CAWP. Plants of 17 species from these cultivations have been used for reintroductions mostly to the Trebonsko Biosphere Reserve in the last six years. In addition to the CAWP, a (sub)tropical carnivorous plant collection (ca. 55 species) is situated in a heated greenhouse. The CAWP covers an area of ca. 0.04 ha. The temperate-zone plants are grown outdoors, while the several (sub)tropical species are in a heated greenhouse. Each plant species is usually grown in plastic pots, which are put in bigger containers. Robust helophyte species (e.g., reeds, cattails, sedges) grow individually in smaller plastic containers. All plastic containers are sunken and embedded in the ground to minimize thermal fluctuations, both in summer and winter. Smaller aquatic Utricularia species grow in 3-l miniaquaria floating in cooling water of a big container. Their winter buds (turions) overwinter in small flasks in a refrigerator. Rooted aquatic plants growing in deeper containers (65 cm) overwinter under water. During periods of frost, ice cover in these containers may be up to 40 cm thick but the dominant majority of aquatic plants survive these conditions without being damaged. Frost-sensitive (sub)Atlantic species (e.g., Pilularia globulifera, Littorella uniflora, Luronium natans) are overwintered for safety in a cool compartment of a greenhouse. During the summer, seasonal shading by wooden bands protects the plants from overheating and reduces the growth of filamentous algae. Nevertheless, the growth of filamentous algae (mainly of genera Oedogonium, Cladophora, Spirogyra ) is a crucial problem for growing submersed species. The only effective control is to repeatedly remove the mats gently and with patience by hand. On summer days, pH values in some containers may exceed 10 due to algal photosynthesis. We sometimes add ethanol (ca. 10-20 microliters per liter) or starch (ca. 20 mg. per liter) to the containers to decrease high pH by enhanced respiration. Soft tap water is used for watering the plants. In helophytes, sandy substrates are renewed every 2-3 years. One technical assistant and two curators (authors of this paper) look after the CAWP.

Aquaphyte Summer 2002 We welcome interested colleagues to the Section of Plant Ecology at Trebon and are glad to guide them through our Collection and conservation-based cultivations. Our plant material may be offered for exchange to other plant collections or sent to colleagues abroad for study purposes. The complete species list of the CAWP is available on request by e-mail to the curators, or online at the CAWP web site at http://www.butbn.cas.cz Please send us your species list. In our species list, all species are classed within three groups. A) species bearing seeds or spores more or less regularly; it is possible to mail them in the form of seeds or spores; B) species which may be mailed in vegetative form (turions, rhizomes, tubers, bulbs, parts of clones, shoots); C) problematic species which are difficult to grow and, thus, are not always at our disposal; they may be represented e.g. by annual terophytes, which do not set seeds in the CAWP, lemnids, and some other susceptible species. Since 1998/1999, the seeds of CAWP (ca. 120-200 items) have been listed in the Index Seminum which is regularly issued by the Institute of Botany at Pruhonice (see http://www.ibot.cas.cz)). We would prefer your visit and personal selection and transport of the plants to their mailing by post. Simply, we look forward to communication and cooperation with you!
