[MAIPC] FW: New EDRR species in the Mid-Atlantic

[Ruth Douglas]

Folks, I managed to unearth this email from nearly a year ago re Corydalis
incisa from Mary Farrah. It was this email that alerted me to the
possibility that the rather attractive plant I'd spotted in 2014 might be
invasive, and I went right down to the site where I'd spotted it then, and
there it was. And the beat goes on.

 

Best,

 

Ruth

Hi All,

I got an email from a DC resident, Larry Haller, who has Corydalis incisa
growing aggressively growing in his yard. According to this link
<http://blogs.nybg.org/science-talk/2014/07/detecting-an-invasive-plant-befo
re-its-too-late/>  it's a big  problem in NY. It occupies the same niche as
fig buttercup. I'm sending this email sans photos, so that this third email
attempt will actually make it to you all. Check the link above for photos.

 

The USDA only lists it occurring in NY, but now that there's been
multi-state communication about this species, we're finding that it is more
wide spread in this region than previously thought. Larry posted photos of
this plant on some local listservs and found someone from a nearby
neighborhood has it growing in their yard (yet to be verified). NY says that
Philly reported a sighting. There was also a potential sighting in Northern
Virginia. We should add it to our EDRR list. Has anyone else encountered
this species in their region?
