Valerianella radiata, synonyms Valerianella stenocarpa and Valerianella woodsiana, common name beaked cornsalad, is a plant native to the United States[1]. It is a annual flowering plant that is self pollinating and besides being mildly edible there are no known uses[2]. Tends to flower in April- May[3].
Description:[edit]
Valerianella radiata typically grows to a high of 0.6m (2ft)[2]. Flowers are perfect[3]. Has 5 white flower petals that are arranged bilaterally symmetrical with fused sepals[3]. Simple, entire, and toothed[3] leaves with opposite arrangement of two leaves per node on stem[4]. It has a stamen count of three that produces dry fruit 2 - 2.5 mm long[4]. It has a pistil count of one with three carpels, inferiors ovary with 3 locales and one ovule, slightly 3-lobed stigmas[3]. Valerianella radiata has a corolla length of less than 2 mm[5]. The fruit is usually yellowish and glabrous to finely pubescent and the fertile cells are slightly narrower than sterile cells[6]. A groove forms between the narrow and fertile sides of the fruit[6]. It is a self-fertile plant due to having both male and female organs[2]. Stems hollow and ascend to erect, dichotomously branching, angled, and glabrous and sparse pubescence on wing margins[3]. Basal leaves are sessile, short-petiolate, spatulate, obovate with bases fused around the stem, glabrous along margins and midvein of undersurface[3]. Inflorescence are clusters that are small, dense, and usually paired on branch tips that have lanceolate bracts to narrowly elliptic[3].
Distribution and Habitat:[edit]
Valerianella radiata distribution is in the eastern deciduous forest regions most Southern two thirds[7]. This species is commonly found in creek beds, roadsides, ditches, clearings, hilltops, and pasturelands[7]. They can be found in areas ranging from moderate shade to full sunlight exposure[5].
Conservation Status:[edit]
It is listed as a special concern and believed extirpated in Connecticut[8], and listed as endangered in New Jersey[1]. It is listed as a weed in other parts of the Southeastern United States[1].
Taxonomy:[edit]
Valerianella radiata is an annual, meaning that it grows from a seed, produces seeds, and dies all within a growing season, leaving dormant seeds[9]. Out of the two types of reproductive systems that this genus follows V. radiata is funnelform-flowered which commonly leads to inbreeding[7]. This species has two varieties: var. radiata and var. fernaldii[7]. Valerianella radiata was originally described by Linnaeus [10]but was later renamed by Dufresne, Pierre[11].
Toxicity:[edit]
This plant is not known to be toxic[2].
Edibility:[edit]
Young raw leaves and the roots of the plant are edible[2]. Roots of plant are an unlikely food source due to minuscule size[2].
Weed Control:[edit]
It is a common weed found in some gardens in the southeastern United States due to suitability in many types of soils and pH levels[2]. Applications of 0.11 kg glyphosate/ha was used to controlled Valerianella radiata in non-crop situations[12].
