In 1987 the Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA) declared purple loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria) a noxious weed, due to the alarming spread in its wetlands.
Using both legitimate and illegitamite crosses, different combinations of cultivars and wild populations of Lythrum were cross pollinated to determine the fertility of male and female cultivars.
The research showed that all Lythrum cultivars produced viable pollen, they were all female fertile, and there were high germination rates of viable seeds.

 What plants are considered Noxious Weeds in PA? -
Lythrum salicaria, commonly known as purple loosestrife, is a nonnative wetland plant that thrives in the absence of the insects and diseases that controlled it in Europe and Asia.
Since Lythrum salicaria was added to the noxious weed control list, the need to add other Lythrum species and their cultivars and combinations has become apparent.
Lythrum virgatum is a source of purple loosestrife cultivars.

Abstract: Lythrum salicaria L. is a generalist species that can grow under a wide range of habitat conditions, both in its native distribution (Eurasia) and in North America, where it is a successful invader of temperate wetlands.
Abstract: Purple loosestrife, Lythrum salicaria L., is a herbaceous wetland perennial native to Eurasia.
To test the hypothesis that a positive correlation between population size and seed set is due to a higher degree of pollinator limitation in small than in large populations, I performed supplemental hand-pollinations in eight (1993) and 13 (1994) of the study populations.

 Lythrum - A Noxious Weed
Johnson grass is often spotted along the edges of farm fields or in disturbed areas; and multiflora rose is seen everywhere-along woods' edges, in hedge rows, in meadows-it's not at all particular to soil type or location.
Lythrum is choking waterways and eliminating food and shelter for wildlife.
In Europe, Lythrum's native habitat, there are natural predators for this plant, keeping it in check, just as our native plant populations are kept in balance by natural predators here.

 issg Database: Ecology of Lythrum salicaria
Lythrum salicaria is an erect perennial herb with a woody stem and whirled leaves.
Woody stems of plants remain standing during the winter, when the plant is readily identified by its brownish colour and spiral-shaped capsule clusters.
These herbicides may be most effective when applied, as plants are preparing for dormancy, however, mid-summer and late season treatments may be needed to reduce the amount of seed produced.

Lythrum plants were brought to North Dakota for flower gardens because of their striking color, ease of growth, winter hardiness, and lack of insect or disease problems (Figure 1).
Figure 3.When Lythrum reverts to the weedy purple loosestrife, it can invade wetlands and rapidly spread.
Research has found that all varieties of lythrum produce seed, which is a source of infestation to aquatic sites, including rivers, lakes, sloughs, dams, dugouts, bogs, swamps, irrigation ditches, streams (perennial or semi-permanent) and other water courses, or wet sites.

 [No title]
The genus Lythrum is peculiar and unique, as there are three distinct types of flower, each with a different arrangement of the stamen and pistils.
Each purple loosestrife plant has only one type of flower, and must be cross-pollinated by one of the other types, to produce viable seeds.
It also explains why it is so important to remove the plant early, when only a one plant is present, since viable seeds are less likely.

In the first year of the experiment, ORP in Typha was greater than that in Lythrum.

The Lythrum species (Purple loosestrife) is an aggressive, semi-aquatic, herbaceous perennial weed that has infested wetlands in the state of Washington causing serious harm to native plants and destroying habitat for birds and small mammals.
The director of agriculture, pursuant to the powers provided in chapter 17.24 RCW and RCW 17.10.074 (1)(c), and chapter 15.13 RCW, has determined that the regulation and exclusion of this plant, plant parts, and seeds is necessary to preserve Washington wetlands from further infestation.
It is prohibited to transport, buy, sell, offer for sale, or to distribute plants or seeds of the species Lythrum salicaria or Lythrum virgatum into or within the state of Washington.

 Purple Loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria L.)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Purple loose-strife has flowers with 5 to 7 purple petals (petals are occasionally pink or white also); the leaves are opposite or in whorls of 3, all lacking teeth; and it has a stiff 4-sided stem that may appear woody at the base of large plants.
Purple loosestrife may be distinguished from the native winged loosestrife (Lythrum alatum), which it most closely resembles, by its generally larger size (native loosestrife has an average height of only 2 feet) and its opposite leaves (native loosestrife's upper leaves are usually alternate).
In Missouri, other species that may be affected are Lythrum alatum (winged loosestrife) and Decodon verticillatus (swamp loosestrife).

Scientific Name: Lythrum salicaria L. Purple loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria L.) is a wetland perennial that forms large, monotypic stands throughout the temperate regions of the U.S. and Canada.
There is significant concern about other native species of the genus Lythrum that may also be fed upon, although to a lesser degree, by these insects.
Since other control measures may harm a variety of non-target plant species, this non-target feeding may occur at a level which is preferable to alternative control techniques.
