Achyranthes edit

 
Achyranthes bidentata
The Japanese chaff flower, Achyranthes japonica, has been found to be quite invasive where it has naturalized in Kentucky and surrounding states.[1] Although it has not been found to have naturalized in New York, Japanese chaff flower has been placed on the DEC's list of prohibited plants.[2]

As of 2021, Achyranthes bidentata has been observed in Ontario Provincial Parks on two islands in western Lake Erie and in southern Ohio.[3]

Bassia edit
 
Bassia scoparia
The genus Bassia here includes Kochia scoparia. The Kochia genus was merged into Bassia by A. J. Scott in 1978. Although that merger was not widely accepted as a whole, Kochia scoparia subsp. scoparia has been shown to be embedded within a clade with Bassia hyssopifolia, making the Bassia scoparia name more appropriate for that particular taxon. The same study showed Bassia hirsuta to be in a separate clade, and the new monotypic genus Spirobassia was coined to contain that species.[1]

Tribe Chenopodieae edit

Fuentes-Bazan et al. (2012) moved a number of species out of Chenopodium to make it monophyletic, calling one of the new segregate genera Chenopodiastrum. The genera that were phylogenically between the Chenopodium and Chenopodiastrum clades were already in the tribe Atripliceae, so they placed Chenopodium and the new Chenopodiastrum in Atripliceae, even though the original Atripliceae would then be surrounded by and outnumbered by the former members of the Chenopodieae. But ARS-GRIN, though recognizing the new Chenopodiastrum, places all of these genera in Chenopodieae and calls Atripliceae a synonym.[1] That's the convention used here for this tribe.

Family Montiaceae edit

The Montiaceae Raf. (1820) was adoped by APG III (2009) to house a number of genera sgregated from the Portulacaceae (purslane family). Montiaceae includes the spring ephemerals in the genus Claytonia.

Claytonia edit

 
Claytonia caroliniana
Carolina spring-beauty
Claytonia contains the two New York spring ephemerals C. caroliniana (Carolina springbeauty) and C. virginica (eastern spring beauty). These two species can be most readily be differentiated by the shape of their leaves. C. virginica is generally found in drier and thinner soils than C. caroliniana.
Claytonia leaf shape leaf length leaf width

Family Portulacaceae edit

The Portulacaceae (purslane family) now contains only the genus Portulaca.[1]
  1. Portulacaceae Troy Weldy & David Werier (2013) New York Flora Atlas. New York Flora Association, Albany, New York.

Portulaca edit

 
Portulaca oleracea
common purslane
The origin of Portulaca oleracea is uncertain, but purslane seeds and the pollen of both purslane and corn were discovered in sediments at the bottom of meromitic Crawford Lake, a few miles west of Lake Ontario, indicating that both plants were present there prior to European settlement. It is thought that pre-Columbian people pulled the purslane from their corn fields and then washed it in the lake prior to cooking it.[1] Globally, P. oleracea is widely-naturalized and treated as a noxious weed in many locations.
