Eriophorum (cottongrass, cotton-grass or cottonsedge) is a genus of flowering plants in the family Cyperaceae, the sedge family. They are found in the cool temperate, alpine, and Arctic regions of the Northern Hemisphere, primarily in the middle latitudes of North America, Europe, and Asia.

Description

Eriophorium species are perennial herbaceous plants that persist by means of underground rhizomes. [4] [5] Stems (called culms) grow singly or in clumps (i.e., cespitose). Both basal leaves and stem leaves are present, although the latter are bladeless in some species. The terminal inflorescence is either a single erect spikelet or multiple spikelets on peduncles of various lengths. In the case of multiple spikelets, the inflorescence is subtended by one or more leaf-like bracts. Individual flowers have 10 or more smooth perianth bristles that greatly elongate and remain attached to the achene during fruiting. The bristles facilitate seed dispersal by wind. In cold Arctic regions, the bristles also serve as insulation by trapping solar radiation and thereby increasing the temperature of the reproductive organs. [6]

Identification keys often begin with a pair of alternatives that implicitly divide the genus into two mutually exclusive sections: [4] [5] [7] [8]

Besides the number of spikelets and the presence of bracts, other characters may be used for identification, including: the length of the uppermost leaf blade relative to its sheath; the number of bracts (0, 1, or more than 1); the length and orientation of the bracts; the length of the peduncles; and the color of the bristles.

Taxonomy

In the first edition of Species Plantarum published in 1753, the Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus established genus Eriophorum by recognizing four species: Eriophorum vaginatum, Eriophorum polystachion, Eriophorum virginicum, and Eriophorum alpinum. [1] [9] In the second edition published in 1762, Linnaeus added a fifth species, Eriophorum cyperinum. [10] The generic name EriophorumL. is the primary name in use today. [3] [11] Although some of the specific names have changed, the number of recognized taxa in genus Eriophorum has remained more-or-less the same since 1994. [12] [13]

In the fifth edition of Genera Plantarum published in 1754 (intended to accompany the first edition of Species Plantarum), Linnaeus referenced the prior work of the Italian botanist Pier Antonio Micheli and the French botanist Joseph Pitton de Tournefort. [14] In 1729, Micheli described genus Linagrostis, including an illustration of an unidentified plant. [15] (The plant was later identified to be Eriophorum vaginatum. [16] ) Tournefort coined the French name Linaigrette (Latin: Linagrostis) in 1694, [17] but his contribution became better known in Europe when his book was translated to Latin in 1719. [18]

The French naturalist and mineralogist Jean-Étienne Guettard resurrected the pre-Linnaean name Linagrostis in 1750, and again in 1754, but LinagrostisGuett. is regarded as a synonym for EriophorumL. [19] [20] After Guettard, the name Linagrostis was redescribed by numerous botanists, including John Hill (1756), Johann Gottfried Zinn (1757), and Giovanni Antonio Scopoli (1771), [21] [22] [23] but all three published illegitimate names since LinagrostisGuett. takes precedence. Scopoli's description of LinagrostisTourn. ex Scop. is notable, however, since it is explicitly based on the early work of Tournefort. [24] The names Linagrostis vaginata(L.) Scop., Linagrostis alpina(L.) Scop., and Linagrostis polystachia(L.) Scop. are synonyms for the corresponding names introduced by Linnaeus in 1753. [25] [26] [27]

The Austrian botanist and mycologist Eduard Palla established genus Eriophoropsis in 1896 by segregating Eriophorum virginicum into a new genus. [28] The name EriophoropsisPalla is both a synonym for EriophorumL. and the basionym of Eriophorum subgen. Eriophoropsis(Palla) Raymond, the latter described by the Canadian botanist Louis-Florent-Marcel Raymond in 1954. [29] [30]

Other names

Of the five species described by Linnaeus in 1753 and 1762, three of the names are no longer in use. Eriophorum polystachionL. is a rejected name, [32] [33] now considered to be a synonym for Eriophorum angustifoliumHonck. subsp. angustifolium, [34] while Eriophorum alpinumL. and Eriophorum cyperinumL. are synonyms for Trichophorum alpinum (L.) Pers. and Scirpus cyperinus (L.) Kunth, respectively. [35] [36]

The Swedish mycologist and botanist Elias Magnus Fries described Eriophorum russeolum in 1836. [37] Some authors consider Eriophorum russeolumFr. to be a synonym for Eriophorum chamissonisC.A.Mey., [38] [39] while others consider the two names to refer to separate species. [40] [41] [42] [43]

In 1942, the American agrostologist and botanist Alan Ackerman Beetle placed the species Scirpus crinigerA.Gray into genus Eriophorum. [44] In 2012, Eriophorum crinigerum(A.Gray) Beetle was segregated into genus Calliscirpus, and so Eriophorum crinigerum is a synonym for Calliscirpus criniger(A.Gray) C.N.Gilmour, J.R.Starr & Naczi. [45]

In 1957, the Canadian botanist Louis-Florent-Marcel Raymond placed the species Scirpus scabriculmisBeetle into genus Eriophorum. [46] In 2019, Eriophorum scabriculme(Beetle) Raymond was segregated into genus Trichophorum. [47] Hence Eriophorum scabriculme is a synonym for Trichophorum scabriculme(Beetle) J.R.Starr, Lév.-Bourret & B.A.Ford. [48]

The invalidly published name Eriophorum × polystachiovaginatumBeauverd is a synonym for Eriophorum × beauverdiiSoó but the latter is unplaced by POWO. [49]

Subdivision

In 1849, the Swedish botanist and traveller Nils Johan Andersson placed the European species of Eriophorum into two new sections: [50]

Eriophorum section Vaginata: [51]

  • Eriophorum vaginatum
  • Eriophorum capitatum (a synonym for Eriophorum scheuchzeri)
  • Eriophorum russeolum (a synonym for Eriophorum chamissonis)

Eriophorum section Phyllanthela: [52]

  • Eriophorum angustifolium
  • Eriophorum latifolium
  • Eriophorum gracile

In 1905, the American botanist Merritt Lyndon Fernald placed the North American species of Eriophorum into Andersson's sections as follows: [53]

Eriophorum section Vaginata:

  • Eriophorum scheuchzeri
  • Eriophorum chamissonis
  • Eriophorum vaginatum
  • Eriophorum callitrix
  • Eriophorum opacum n. comb. (a synonym for Eriophorum brachyantherum)

Eriophorum section Phyllanthela:

  • Eriophorum gracile
  • Eriophorum tenellum
  • Eriophorum polystachion (a synonym for Eriophorum angustifolium)
  • Eriophorum viridicarinatumn. comb.
  • Eriophorum virginicum

Phylogeny

Based on phylogenetic analyses, Eriophorum forms a well‐supported clade nested within the genus Scirpus , which suggests the latter is paraphyletic. To resolve this issue, there are at least two options: 1) merge Eriophorum into Scirpus, or 2) split Scirpus into a series of new genera. As of August 2024, there has been insufficient data for a majority of botanists to prefer one option or the other. [54] [55]

Eriophorum virginicum, Eriophorum tenellum, and Eriophorum gracile form a strongly supported clade that is sister to the rest of the genus. The clade is distinguished by having glumes (scales at the base of each flower in a spikelet) with many prominent nerves, whereas the glumes of the remaining species possess a single prominent midnerve. [56]

Within a weakly supported clade of unispicate species (i.e., species with a single spikelet), Eriophorum russeolum and Eriophorum scheuchzeri form a strongly supported, monophyletic species complex characterized by a rhizomatous habit, up to 7 sterile glumes, and by glumes with well-defined hyaline margins (i.e., with thin, translucent edges). In contrast, in the sister clade to this complex (Eriophorum vaginatum, Eriophorum brachyantherum, and Eriophorum callitrix) each species has a caespitose habit and more than 12 sterile glumes that generally lack clear hyaline margins. [56]

Distribution and habitat

Eriophorum species are found in the cool temperate, alpine, and Arctic regions of the Northern Hemisphere, [4] [5] primarily in the middle latitudes of North America, Europe, and Asia.

Preferred habitats include bogs, fens, meadows, and alpine tundra.[ citation needed ]

Uses

Paper and the wicks of candles have been made of its fiber, and pillows stuffed with the same material. The leaves were formerly used in treating diarrhea, and the spongy pith of the stem for the removal of tapeworm. [57]
