Invasives Information Retrieval System


The APIRS office, long known for its information gathering and dissemination
relating to aquatic plants, native and non-native, has widened its focus to include
invasive plants of uplands as well. In fact, the research center of which APIRS is a
part has changed its name to the Center for Aquatic and Invasive Plants. Many of
the researchers associated with the Center are already well known for their work on
invasive plants.

As a first step, APIRS database manager,
Karen Brown, and reader, Mary Langeland,
have begun collecting the literature of the
invasive plants on the two lists of the Florida
Exotic Pest Plant Council (FLEPPC), as well as
the Noxious Weed List of the Florida Department
of Agriculture and Consumer Services
(FDOACS). The FLEPPC lists are Category I
plants (that are invading and disrupting native
habitats, 65 species) and Category II plants (that
have shown a potential to disrupt native habitats,
60 species). FLEPPC: http://www.fleppc.org
The FDOACS lists 63 species, some of which are
in common with the FLEPPC lists. (FDOACS:
http://doacs.state.fl.us/~pi/noxioustbl.htm)

Support is being sought to expand our
information gathering and dissemination
capabilities more quickly, so that the literature on
additional plants on "invasives and noxious lists"
of other states and countries can be collected, cataloged, disseminated and used.

Already, several hundred researchers routinely contribute their articles and
reports for inclusion in the APIRS system and database. Other researchers and




authors who work on invasive plants, and who may not be aware of our established
system, are encouraged to join our modest partnership. Works will be entered into
our science library and central source for aquatics and invasives literature. In
exchange, our information and referral services will remain free of charge to our
contributors, as they have been for the past 18 years. For more information, contact
Karen Brown at kpb@gnv.ifas.ufl.edu

As was the case for aquatic plants, projects manager Victor Ramey is building a
thorough collection of photographs and line drawings of invasive plants. These
and other resources are being used to develop all kinds of information and education
products, from museum backdrops to ID decks, from invasives posters to coloring
books, from magazine articles to homeowner slide shows.

And, of course, our web site is expanding its content as well. So far, fairly extensive
information about 16 invasive plants is online at our site. There also are pictures and
drawings of a number of other invasive plants. See it all at: http://plants.ifas.ufl.edu

APIRS has a new color catalog with full descriptions of our free and for-sale
products and services. Included are database instructions, lists of plants featured in
various publications, full lists of available slides and drawings, and ordering
information. Contact the APIRS office for a copy of the new catalog: CAIP-

Invasive Plants


Lantana, shrub verbena
Lantana camera L.

by Victor Ramey, U.F. Center for Aquatic and Invasive Plants


"There grow on this island many curious shrubs, particularly a beautiful species of
lantana. It grows in coppices in old fields, about five or six feet high, the branches adorned
with rough serrated leaves, which sit opposite, and the twigs terminated with
umbelliferous tufts of orange-colored blossoms, which are succeeded by a cluster of small
blue berries; the flowers are of various colors, on the same plant, and even in the same
cluster, as crimson, scarlet, orange and golden yellow; the whole plant is of a most
agreeable scent."

from The Travels of William Bartram, his observations of lantana in 1773 while exploring
the islands of Lake George in northern Florida.




L antana camera, lantana, and its many
cultivated varieties, has a mixed reputation.
On one hand, lantana is listed by Holm et al. as
one of the worst weeds in all the world: a thicket-
forming menace in 47 countries that has "infested
millions of hectares of natural grazing
lands" (especially in Asia and Africa) and that is
a weed in 14 major crops including coffee, oil
palms, coconuts, cotton, bananas, pineapples,
sugarcane, sandalwood, tea, rubber and rice. In
Indonesia, lantana is the most dominant species among 54 species found on the east
slope of the Candikuning pine plantation. Reportedly, in India the lantana invasion
in some places has been so complete as to require the moving of several entire




villages. In Hawaii, several hundred thousand acres are infested with lantana;
lantana infests four million acres in Australia. What's more, Lantana camera leaves
and fruit (green and mature) are very toxic, having been blamed in the deaths of
animals as diverse as livestock, parrots, rabbits and snakes, as well as humans.

On the other hand, Lantana camera and its varieties frequently are planted in the U.
S. to attract butterflies, is planted to herald the arrival of spring at Boston Garden,
and is still considered one of the "10 favorite plants of Malaysians." In the US, some
nurseries tout lantana as a native plant; it is sold over the internet from companies in
Ohio, Texas and New Mexico. According to Indian research, there is evidence that
lantana extracts could be used for weed control in rice.

Notwithstanding Bartram's observations of lantana in Florida more than 200 years
ago, Lantana camera is listed as a Category I non-native, invasive plant by the
Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council (FLEPPC). (However, lantana is not listed on the
Noxious Weed List of the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Affairs
(FDACS).) FLEPPC believes lantana to be a native of the West Indies, not of
Florida. Others believe it to be from Argentina.


Lantana camaraL. deciduous shrubto 6 ft. tall; stemssquare, covered with bristly hairs,
often with thorns and/or small prickles; leavesopposite, simple, with petioles (leaf stems),
strongly aromatic; leaf bladesoval, rough, hairy to 6 in. long, to 2.5 in. wide, veins
conspicuous; leaf marginscoarsely serrate; inflorescensea stalked dense cluster of
flowers; flowerssmall, multicolored, in a single cluster, may be white to pink or lavender,
yellow to orange or red, color changing over time; fruitsmall, round, fleshy, 2-seeded
drupe, green turning purple to blue-black.


Lantana camera grows well in full-sun disturbed places, but also grows well
under shade. It is a long-lived plant, and can form dense thickets in pastures,
forests and along fence lines. It prefers well-drained soils, and, once established,
requires only infrequent watering. It is spread by birds as well as humans. Lantana
leaves are damaged at 27 degrees F. Lantana is allelopathic; it releases chemicals
into the soil to prevent other plants from germinating. Lantana is not easy to control.
Experience shows that burning, cutting and digging lantana often results in
increased germination and more shoot growth. As for biological control
possibilities, various arthropods and fungal pathogens have been or are being tested.





Florida's
case is
complicated
by the fact
that this state
has at least
two species of
lantana
believed to be
native:
Lantana depressa, Florida lantana, and Lantana involucrata, wild sage. Florida
lantana, an endangered plant, has yellow flowers and tapered leaves. It is believed
that Lantana camera hybridizes with Florida lantana, thus contaminating the Florida
lantana gene pool. It is not easy to tell just by looking whether a plant is a 100%
Lantana camera or a 50% Lantana depressa. Sales and plantings of lantana hybrids
of many colors further complicate the scenario. The other lantana native to Florida,
wild sage (L. involucrata), is decidedly less showy, having small whitish yellow-
centered flowers and smaller, rounder leaves. Finally, another non-native lantana,
Lantana montevidensis, trailing lantana, is sold to homeowners throughout the state.
Its all-mauve lantana flowers are becoming more familiar, although L.
montevidensis does not seem to be invasive.

Florida Ag Adds 11
Nurserymen Give Up 11



Eleven terrestrial weeds were recently added to the official "Noxious Weed List"
of the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDOACS). The
Noxious Weed List prohibits introducing, possessing, moving, growing and selling
these species. The full list can be seen at http://doacs.state.fl.us/~pi/noxioustbl.htm

The 11 new terrestrial weeds added to the official noxious weeds list are:

Air potato (Dioscorea bulbifera)
Burma reed (Neyraudia reynaudiana)
Carrotwood (Cupaniopsis anacardioides)
Downy rose myrtle (Rhodomyrtus
tomentosa)
Japanese climbing fern (Lygodium
japonicum)
Kudzu (Pueraria montana)
Small-leaved climbing fern (Lygodium .
microphyllum)
Sewer-vine (Paederia cruddasiana)
Skunk-vine (Paederiafoetida) *"_g. ..
Wetland nightshade (Solanum
tampicense)
White yam (Dioscorea alata)




The Florida Nurserymen and Growers Association (FNGA) has decided to
encourage its members to voluntarily phase out the growing and selling of 11




species of plants identified as being invasive in Florida. The 11 came from a list of
especially invasive plants as determined by the Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council
(FLEPPC). The full list can be seen at http://www.fleppc.org

Ten of these plants are not officially banned by the state of Florida, carrotwood
being the exception. The 11 plants the nurserymen have agreed to phase out are:

Woman's tongue (Albizia lebbeck)
Orchid tree (Bauhinia variegata)
Bischofia (Bischofiajavanica)
Carrotwood (Cupaniopsis anacardioides)
Cat's claw vine (Macfadyena unguis-cati)
Chinaberry (Melia azedarach)
Sword fern (Nephrolepis cordifolia)
Guava (Psidium guajava)
Oyster plant (Rhoeo spathacea)
Java plum (Syzygium cumini)
Seaside mahoe (Thespesiapopulnea)

Other non-native plants sold by nurseries, such as lantana, ardisia and nandina,
also have been declared to be invasive by the FLEPPC. The nurserymen have not
decided to cease selling these plants. But that's another story...

No Aquatic Weeds
On Jackson Prairie



Aquatic, Wetland and Invasive Plant
University of Florida form
Information Retrieval System





S.Jackson Prairie [Lake Jackson], Florida

Outstanding Florida Water Body, Lake Jackson (Tallahassee), is known
nationally as a premiere bass fishing lake. And over the years, aquatic weed and water quality concerns
in the lake have been the subject of countless homeowners' meetings and of primary interest to lake
management personnel. However, its bass reputation and aquatic weed problems became much less
consequential on September 16, 1999 when a sink hole suddenly drained more than half the lake of
every last gallon of water, not to mention every last fish and alligator. It is now possible to walk from
shore to shore--but steer clear of the sink hole.

Jess Van Dyke, long-time regional biologist with the Bureau of Invasive Plant Management (Florida
Department of Environmental Protection) was there when it happened. "It was spectacular: animals
trying to scramble out; a whirlpool of gators, birds and bass went down the hole," said Van Dyke. Lake
Jackson is one of Florida's disappearing lakes, lakes with sinkholes that are known to drain periodically.
Lake Jackson, for example, has drained 4 times previously in the 20th century, in 1907, 1933, 1957,
1982 and now in 1999.

"Our records show that in 1982 the lake refilled from rainfall within about 6 months. In 1957 there was a
drought, so it took much longer to refill. It's all about long term rainfall patterns," says Van Dyke. It is
expected that the lake will eventually collect water and again become a top-notch fishing lake.

For more information, contact Jess Van Dyke, the regional biologist for the northwest Florida region
(which includes Lake Jackson), at Bureau of Invasive Plant Management, 3900 Commonwealth Blvd,
Tallahassee, FL 32399; (850) 245-2809.




Here are pics of ex-Lake Jackson in no particular order; pics include some taken on that fateful day in
September 1999 (even though they're mis-dated as 2002), and some taken 3 years later, in September
2002. The pics below include some that feature some employees of the Tallahassee offices of the
Bureau of Invasive Plant Management.

Odds n' Ends


Giant salvinia (Salvinia molesta) is invading the United States, and has now been
identified in Texas, Louisiana, Florida and Arizona. A biological agent, the beetle,
Cyrtobagous salviniae, now is being evaluated for use against the dreaded aquatic
weed to see if the beetle might be as successful against U.S. infestations as it has
been elsewhere. Dr. Philip Tipping (USDA-ARS, Ft. Lauderdale) has begun
distributing the beetle at sites in Louisiana and eastern Texas. Besides wanting to
know about new infestations of giant salvinia, he also wants to find new sites of
Salvinia minima where he finds natural populations of the salvinia beetle for
collection and distribution. Dr. Tipping can be contacted at (954) 475-0541 X 104,

Chaise Hyacinth


U unless you've been on Lake Victoria lately, or here in Florida thirty years ago,
it may be difficult to imagine a water hyacinth infestation: floating plants, growing
to three feet high, bunched tightly by the wind, upwards of 200 tons of plant mass
per acre, covering an entire lake or river shore to shore--even large boats can
become immobilized. Certainly, fishing and other commerce comes to a halt. On
Lake Victoria, more than once water hyacinth has clogged the intake pipes to the
power station that supplies Kampala, the capital city of Uganda. No electricity to
Kampala. In fact, much of the world's second-largest freshwater lake, which
provides fish and accommodates commerce for Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda, is
socked in by miles and miles of extra-large "bull" hyacinths.

In the war against water hyacinths, officials have introduced Neochetina weevils as
biological controls, and have hired a huge grinding machine to break up the gigantic
mats. Depending on whom you ask, herbicides may or may not have been employed
as well.







Then there's the Water Hyacinth Utilization Project (WHUP), a "sustainable use"
project devised to exploit the silver lining of the infestation by using water hyacinths
to create jobs. According to Ms. Carolyne Odhiambo, WHUP Coordinator, 60
workers, mostly disadvantaged women, are using the plentiful menace to produce
chairs, tables, baskets and shades, paper, books, cards and gift items. WHUP is
under the auspices of KICK, a non-governmental organization that aims to develop
small enterprises, and is supported by the Department for International Development
of Great Britain. Ms. Odhiambo provided us with these photographs of artisans and
items made from water hyacinth.

Plea for a Plant Introduction


In 1882, an appeal was made for the introduction of Typha latifolia to Tasmania for
the purpose of constructing buoyant life-saving mattresses for use onboard ships.
Such devices were being used on Italian vessels at the time. The Victorian Humane
Society of Melbourne tested the mattress and found that it could easily support two
persons on the water, so they decided to promote the introduction into the colony of
the plant those mattresses were stuffed with. Doubt was expressed on the
profitability of this introduction since Typha latifolia already occurred in Tasmania.
It was remarked that "attention should be first directed to the species to be found
naturally on the island." However it was argued that, "The many lamentable
disasters at sea and deplorable shipwrecks, which from time to time cause a thrill of
horror like an electric shock to pervade the community, demand the adoption of
every possible precaution against such dire calamities; and simple as this remedy
appears, it may yet be the means of snatching many a valuable human life from
otherwise inevitable destruction. If successful, there can be little doubt that but few
vessels would be unprovided with them; and thus a possible means of escape from a
water grave would be afforded in many cases of shipwreck on a coast and within a
moderate distance of land."

Who could resist such an impassioned plea?!

from the Papers and Proceedings of the Royal Society of Tasmania for 1882,
"Economic Value of the Aquatic Plant Typha latifolia," by James Barnard

Volume 19 Number 2 Fall 1999 AQUAPHYTE ONLINE Fall 1999 Invasives Information Retrieval SystemThe APIRS office, long known for its information gathering and dissemination relating to aquatic plants, native and non-native, has widened its focus to include invasive plants of uplands as well. In fact, the research center of which APIRS is a part has changed its name to the Center for Aquatic and Invasive Plants. Many of the researchers associated with the Center are already well known for their work on invasive plants. As a first step, APIRS database manager, Karen Brown, and reader, Mary Langeland, have begun collecting the literature of the invasive plants on the two lists of the Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council (FLEPPC), as well as the Noxious Weed List of the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDOACS). The FLEPPC lists are Category I plants (that are invading and disrupting native habitats, 65 species) and Category II plants (that have shown a potential to disrupt native habitats, 60 species). FLEPPC: http://www.fleppc.org The FDOACS lists 63 species, some of which are in common with the FLEPPC lists. (FDOACS: http://doacs.state.fl.us/~pi/noxioustbl.htm) Support is being sought to expand our information gathering and dissemination capabilities more quickly, so that the literature on additional plants on "invasives and noxious lists" of other states and countries can be collected, cataloged, disseminated and used. Already, several hundred researchers routinely contribute their articles and reports for inclusion in the APIRS system and database.

Volume 19 Number 2 Fall 1999 authors who work on invasive plants, and who may not be aware of our established system, are encouraged to join our modest partnership. Works will be entered into our science library and central source for aquatics and invasives literature. In exchange, our information and referral services will remain free of charge to our contributors, as they have been for the past 18 years. For more information, contact Karen Brown at kpb@gnv.ifas.ufl.edu As was the case for aquatic plants, projects manager Victor Ramey is building a thorough collection of photographs and line drawings of invasive plants. These and other resources are being used to develop all kinds of information and education products, from museum backdrops to ID decks, from invasives posters to coloring books, from magazine articles to homeowner slide shows. And, of course, our web site is expanding its content as well. So far, fairly extensive information about 16 invasive plants is online at our site. There also are pictures and drawings of a number of other invasive plants. See it all at: http://plants.ifas.ufl.edu APIRS has a new color catalog with full descriptions of our free and for-sale products and services. Included are database instructions, lists of plants featured in various publications, full lists of available slides and drawings, and ordering information.

Volume 19 Number 2 Fall 1999 AQUAPHYTE ONLINE Fall 1999 Invasive PlantsLantana, shrub verbena Lantana camara L. by Victor Ramey, U.F. Center for Aquatic and Invasive Plants "There grow on this island many curious shrubs, particularly a beautiful species of lantana. It grows in coppices in old fields, about five or six feet high, the branches adorned with rough serrated leaves, which sit opposite, and the twigs terminated with umbelliferous tufts of orange-colored blossoms, which are succeeded by a cluster of small blue berries; the flowers are of various colors, on the same plant, and even in the same cluster, as crimson, scarlet, orange and golden yellow; the whole plant is of a most agreeable scent." from The Travels of William Bartram, his observations of lantana in 1773 while exploring the islands of Lake George in northern Florida. Lantana camara, lantana, and its many cultivated varieties, has a mixed reputation. On one hand, lantana is listed by Holm et al. as one of the worst weeds in all the world: a thicketforming menace in 47 countries that has "infested millions of hectares of natural grazing lands" (especially in Asia and Africa) and that is a weed in 14 major crops including coffee, oil palms, coconuts, cotton, bananas, pineapples, sugarcane, sandalwood, tea, rubber and rice. In Indonesia, lantana is the most dominant species among 54 species found on the east slope of the Candikuning pine plantation. Reportedly, in India the lantana invasion in some places has been so complete as to require the moving of several entire http://plants.ifas.ufl.edu/aq-f99-4.html (1 of 4) [6/6/2008 2:01:55 PM]

Volume 19 Number 2 Fall 1999 villages. In Hawaii, several hundred thousand acres are infested with lantana; lantana infests four million acres in Australia. What's more, Lantana camara leaves and fruit (green and mature) are very toxic, having been blamed in the deaths of animals as diverse as livestock, parrots, rabbits and snakes, as well as humans. On the other hand, Lantana camara and its varieties frequently are planted in the U. S. to attract butterflies, is planted to herald the arrival of spring at Boston Garden, and is still considered one of the "10 favorite plants of Malaysians." In the US, some nurseries tout lantana as a native plant; it is sold over the internet from companies in Ohio, Texas and New Mexico. According to Indian research, there is evidence that lantana extracts could be used for weed control in rice. Notwithstanding Bartram's observations of lantana in Florida more than 200 years ago, Lantana camara is listed as a Category I non-native, invasive plant by the Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council (FLEPPC). (However, lantana is not listed on the Noxious Weed List of the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Affairs (FDACS).) FLEPPC believes lantana to be a native of the West Indies, not of Florida. Others believe it to be from Argentina. Lantana camaraL. deciduous shrubto 6 ft. tall; stemssquare, covered with bristly hairs, often with thorns and/or small prickles; leavesopposite, simple, with petioles (leaf stems), strongly aromatic; leaf bladesoval, rough, hairy to 6 in. long, to 2.5 in. wide, veins conspicuous; leaf marginscoarsely serrate; inflorescensea stalked dense cluster of flowers; flowerssmall, multicolored, in a single cluster, may be white to pink or lavender, yellow to orange or red, color changing over time; fruitsmall, round, fleshy, 2-seeded drupe, green turning purple to blue-black. Lantana camara grows well in full-sun disturbed places, but also grows well under shade. It is a long-lived plant, and can form dense thickets in pastures, forests and along fence lines. It prefers well-drained soils, and, once established, requires only infrequent watering. It is spread by birds as well as humans. Lantana leaves are damaged at 27 degrees F. Lantana is allelopathic; it releases chemicals into the soil to prevent other plants from germinating. Lantana is not easy to control. Experience shows that burning, cutting and digging lantana often results in increased germination and more shoot growth. As for biological control possibilities, various arthropods and fungal pathogens have been or are being tested. http://plants.ifas.ufl.edu/aq-f99-4.html (2 of 4) [6/6/2008 2:01:55 PM]

Volume 19 Number 2 Fall 1999 Florida's case is complicated by the fact that this state has at least two species of lantana believed to be native: Lantana depressa, Florida lantana, and Lantana involucrata, wild sage. Florida lantana, an endangered plant, has yellow flowers and tapered leaves. It is believed that Lantana camara hybridizes with Florida lantana, thus contaminating the Florida lantana gene pool. It is not easy to tell just by looking whether a plant is a 100% Lantana camara or a 50% Lantana depressa. Sales and plantings of lantana hybrids of many colors further complicate the scenario. The other lantana native to Florida, wild sage (L. involucrata), is decidedly less showy, having small whitish yellowcentered flowers and smaller, rounder leaves. Finally, another non-native lantana, Lantana montevidensis, trailing lantana, is sold to homeowners throughout the state. Its all-mauve lantana flowers are becoming more familiar, although L. montevidensis does not seem to be invasive.

Lake Jackson, Florida No Aquatic Weeds On Jackson PrairieUniversity of Florida Aquatic, Wetland and Invasive Plant Information Retrieval System Jackson Prairie [Lake Jackson], Florida Outstanding Florida Water Body, Lake Jackson (Tallahassee), is known nationally as a premiere bass fishing lake. And over the years, aquatic weed and water quality concerns in the lake have been the subject of countless homeowners' meetings and of primary interest to lake management personnel. However, its bass reputation and aquatic weed problems became much less consequential on September 16, 1999 when a sink hole suddenly drained more than half the lake of every last gallon of water, not to mention every last fish and alligator. It is now possible to walk from shore to shore--but steer clear of the sink hole. Jess Van Dyke, long-time regional biologist with the Bureau of Invasive Plant Management (Florida Department of Environmental Protection) was there when it happened. "It was spectacular: animals trying to scramble out; a whirlpool of gators, birds and bass went down the hole," said Van Dyke. Lake Jackson is one of Florida's disappearing lakes, lakes with sinkholes that are known to drain periodically. Lake Jackson, for example, has drained 4 times previously in the 20th century, in 1907, 1933, 1957, 1982 and now in 1999. "Our records show that in 1982 the lake refilled from rainfall within about 6 months. In 1957 there was a drought, so it took much longer to refill. It's all about long term rainfall patterns," says Van Dyke. It is expected that the lake will eventually collect water and again become a top-notch fishing lake. For more information, contact Jess Van Dyke, the regional biologist for the northwest Florida region (which includes Lake Jackson), at Bureau of Invasive Plant Management, 3900 Commonwealth Blvd, Tallahassee, FL 32399; (850) 245-2809. http://plants.ifas.ufl.edu/depguys.html (1 of 3) [6/6/2008 2:01:57 PM]

Volume 19 Number 2 Fall 1999 AQUAPHYTE ONLINE Fall 1999 Odds n' Ends Giant salvinia (Salvinia molesta) is invading the United States, and has now been identified in Texas, Louisiana, Florida and Arizona. A biological agent, the beetle, Cyrtobagous salviniae, now is being evaluated for use against the dreaded aquatic weed to see if the beetle might be as successful against U.S. infestations as it has been elsewhere. Dr. Philip Tipping (USDA-ARS, Ft. Lauderdale) has begun distributing the beetle at sites in Louisiana and eastern Texas. Besides wanting to know about new infestations of giant salvinia, he also wants to find new sites of Salvinia minima where he finds natural populations of the salvinia beetle for collection and distribution.

Volume 19 Number 2 Fall 1999 AQUAPHYTE ONLINE Fall 1999 Chaise HyacinthUnless you've been on Lake Victoria lately, or here in Florida thirty years ago, it may be difficult to imagine a water hyacinth infestation: floating plants, growing to three feet high, bunched tightly by the wind, upwards of 200 tons of plant mass per acre, covering an entire lake or river shore to shore--even large boats can become immobilized. Certainly, fishing and other commerce comes to a halt. On Lake Victoria, more than once water hyacinth has clogged the intake pipes to the power station that supplies Kampala, the capital city of Uganda. No electricity to Kampala. In fact, much of the world's second-largest freshwater lake, which provides fish and accommodates commerce for Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda, is socked in by miles and miles of extra-large "bull" hyacinths. In the war against water hyacinths, officials have introduced Neochetina weevils as biological controls, and have hired a huge grinding machine to break up the gigantic mats. Depending on whom you ask, herbicides may or may not have been employed as well. Then there's the Water Hyacinth Utilization Project (WHUP), a "sustainable use" project devised to exploit the silver lining of the infestation by using water hyacinths to create jobs. According to Ms. Carolyne Odhiambo, WHUP Coordinator, 60 workers, mostly disadvantaged women, are using the plentiful menace to produce chairs, tables, baskets and shades, paper, books, cards and gift items. WHUP is under the auspices of KICK, a non-governmental organization that aims to develop small enterprises, and is supported by the Department for International Development of Great Britain. Ms. Odhiambo provided us with these photographs of artisans and items made from water hyacinth. http://plants.ifas.ufl.edu/aq-f99-6.html (1 of 2) [6/6/2008 2:01:58 PM]

Volume 19 Number 2 Fall 1999 AQUAPHYTE ONLINE Fall 1999 Plea for a Plant Introduction In 1882, an appeal was made for the introduction of Typha latifolia to Tasmania for the purpose of constructing buoyant life-saving mattresses for use onboard ships. Such devices were being used on Italian vessels at the time. The Victorian Humane Society of Melbourne tested the mattress and found that it could easily support two persons on the water, so they decided to promote the introduction into the colony of the plant those mattresses were stuffed with. Doubt was expressed on the profitability of this introduction since Typha latifolia already occurred in Tasmania. It was remarked that "attention should be first directed to the species to be found naturally on the island." However it was argued that, "The many lamentable disasters at sea and deplorable shipwrecks, which from time to time cause a thrill of horror like an electric shock to pervade the community, demand the adoption of every possible precaution against such dire calamities; and simple as this remedy appears, it may yet be the means of snatching many a valuable human life from otherwise inevitable destruction. If successful, there can be little doubt that but few vessels would be unprovided with them; and thus a possible means of escape from a water grave would be afforded in many cases of shipwreck on a coast and within a moderate distance of land." Who could resist such an impassioned plea?! from the Papers and Proceedings of the Royal Society of Tasmania for 1882, "Economic Value of the Aquatic Plant Typha latifolia," by James Barnard Aquaphyte Contents Aquaphyte page Home Copyright 1999 University of Florida http://plants.ifas.ufl.edu/aq-f99-12.html [6/6/2008 2:01:58 PM]
