Plant Materials for Landscaping A list of plants for Oregon, classified by Height Manner of growth Botanical names Common names Flowering habits Geographical zones By Donald J. Martel Federal Cooperative Extension Service Oregon State College, Corvallis Extension Bulletin 758January 1957 Considerable overlapping of "growth areas" and plant zones as included in thispublication should be expected. Zones 2 and 3 do not have clearly estab- lished limits. In general Zone 1Willamette Valley, Coaststrip, and lower elevations of southern Oregon. Con- sidered as a single zone for plant materials included here. Zone 2lower elevations of areas adjacent to Co- lumbia River. Zone 3all higher elevations of eastern Oregon from 2,000 to 5,000 feet. This list was compiled by Donald J. Martel, head, Department of Landscape Architecture, Oregon State College, Corvallis. Contents PUBLICATION has but one objectiveto aid the home THISowner in selecting plant materials for his property, With this Page in mind, 400 of the 1,000 or more plants grown in the State of Low Plants-6 to 12 inches high 4 Oregon have been selected and arranged in tabulation to present this material in a brief, useful form. Small Plants-11 to 3 feet high 7 Medium Plants-4 to 5 feet high 14 LISTED in tabulation are arranged in several height Large Shrubs-6 to 8 feet high 21 PLANTSgroups representing average height attained within a reason- able time under average cultural conditions. Under optimum cul- Tall Shrubs and Shrubby Trees-8 to 20 tural conditions, or after many years, some plants will exceed the feet high 27 height of the group in which they are listed. Development of a plant over a period of 3 to 10 years is of interest to the home Trees : owner. The ultimate size of a few of these plants, attained after a 10 to 20 feet high lifetime, is not of interest to most.

    "National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary."

    Intro 1996 National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands The Fish and Wildlife Service has prepared a National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary (1996 National List). The 1996 National List is a draft revision of the National List of Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1988 National Summary (Reed 1988) (1988 National List). The 1996 National List is provided to encourage additional public review and comments on the draft regional wetland indicator assignments. The 1996 National List reflects a significant amount of new information that has become available since 1988 on the wetland affinity of vascular plants. This new information has resulted from the extensive use of the 1988 National List in the field by individuals involved in wetland and other resource inventories, wetland identification and delineation, and wetland research. Interim Regional Interagency Review Panel (Regional Panel) changes in indicator status as well as additions and deletions to the 1988 National List were documented in Regional supplements. The National List was originally developed as an appendix to the Classification of Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the United States (Cowardin et al.1979) to aid in the consistent application of this classification system for wetlands in the field.. The 1996 National List also was developed to aid in determining the presence of hydrophytic vegetation in the Clean Water Act Section 404 wetland regulatory program and in the implementation of the swampbuster provisions of the Food Security Act. While not required by law or regulation, the Fish and Wildlife Service is making the 1996 National List available for review and comment.

Systematics of Dirca (Thymelaeaceae) based on its Sequences and ISSR Polymorphisms Abstract The eg nus Dirca consists of three disjunct species of shrubs. Dirca palustris is found in the eastern United States and adjacent Canada; D, occidcntahs is Umited to six counties near the San Francisco Bay in California; and the recently discovered D, mcxicana is known from one isolated population in northeastern Mexico. The three species have been described and classified according to morphological characters, but the morphological evidence does not provide a clear assessment of the relationships among the species. Morphologically D. mexicana most closely resembles D. occidenlalis., but known biogeographical trends raise doubt regarding how the three species are interrelated.
  • Outline of Angiosperm Phylogeny

    Outline of Angiosperm Phylogeny

    Outline of angiosperm phylogeny: orders, families, and representative genera with emphasis on Oregon native plants Priscilla Spears December 2013 The following listing gives an introduction to the phylogenetic classification of the flowering plants that has emerged in recent decades, and which is based on nucleic acid sequences as well as morphological and developmental data. This listing emphasizes temperate families of the Northern Hemisphere and is meant as an overview with examples of Oregon native plants. It includes many exotic genera that are grown in Oregon as ornamentals plus other plants of interest worldwide. The genera that are Oregon natives are printed in a blue font. Genera that are exotics are shown in black, however genera in blue may also contain non-native species. Names separated by a slash are alternatives or else the nomenclature is in flux. When several genera have the same common name, the names are separated by commas. The order of the family names is from the linear listing of families in the APG III report. For further information, see the references on the last page.

    Planting Schemes Advice Note 2021

    Natural Environment Team East Dorset Environment Partnership Dorset Biodiversity Appraisal Protocol Advice Note Planting scheme recommendations Introduction This advice note was written with the East Dorset Environment Partnership and is intended primarily to assist ecological consultants and developers when submitting Biodiversity Plans (BPs) and Landscape & Ecological Management Plans (LEMPs) to DC NET for review under the Dorset Biodiversity Appraisal Protocol (DBAP) by describing how to maximise the biodiversity potential of good planting schemes designed to deliver multiple benefits and contribute to achieving biodiversity net gain. Making the most of existing habitats strengthened through strong eco-tones; sound planting composition; connectivity to ecological networks within and beyond site boundaries and appropriate on-going management are all fundamental elements of an outstanding planting scheme. Submitted planting schemes for developments should seek to offer biodiversity benefit and comply with Dorset Council’s Pollinators Action Plan and Green Infrastructure Strategies. Schemes should demonstrate how they will contribute to addressing the Climate & Ecological Emergency Strategy (Draft 2020). Currently, many schemes appear to be generic designs that do not take account of local conditions and are based on widely available and low-cost shrubs; many of which are invasive, potentially invasive or nuisance plants known as ‘garden thugs’. This is of particular concern where new sites for development are on the rural fringe and pose a significant risk of spreading damaging alien plant species into the wider countryside and sensitive semi-natural habitats. Recent published work by the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) and others has focussed on lists of plants that attract pollinators rather than broader biodiversity considerations.

    Cercis: The Redbuds by KENNETH R. ROBERTSON One of the few woody plants native to eastern North America that is widely planted as an ornamental is the eastern redbud, Cercis canadensis. This plant belongs to a genus of about eight species that is of interest to plant geographers because of its occurrence in four widely separated areas - the eastern United States southwestward to Mexico; western North America; south- ern and eastern Europe and western Asia; and eastern Asia. Cercis is a very distinctive genus in the Caesalpinia subfamily of the legume family (Leguminosae subfamily Caesalpinioi- - deae). Because the apparently simple heart-shaped leaves are actually derived from the fusion of two leaflets of an evenly pinnately compound leaf, Cercis is thought to be related to -~auhinic~, which includes the so-called orchid-trees c$~~ cultivated in tropical regions. The leaves of Bauhinia are usu- ally two-lobed with an apical notch and are made up of clearly ~ two partly fused leaflets. The eastern redbud is more important in the garden than most other spring flowering trees because the flower buds, as well as the open flowers, are colorful, and the total ornamental season continues for two to three weeks. In winter a small bud is found just above each of the leaf scars that occur along the twigs of the previous year’s growth; there are also clusters of winter buds on older branches and on the tree trunks (Figure 3). In early spring these winter buds enlarge (with the excep- tion of those at the tips of the branches) and soon open to re- veal clusters of flower buds.

The landscape character of the Badger Mountain South community as identified in these standards borrows heavily from the precedent of the original shrub-steppe landscape found here. However that historical character is joined with other opportunities for a more refined and urban landscape pattern that relates to edges of uses and defines spaces into activity areas. This section is divided into the following sub-sections: Guiding Principles, which suggest the overall orientation for all landscape applications; Common Standards, which apply to all Districts; District-specific landscape standards; and finally extensive plant lists of materials suitable in a variety of situations. 1.

From Plants For A Future • Propagation Seed - best sown in a greenhouse as soon as it is ripe with the pot sealed in a polythene bag to hold in the moisture. Remove this bag as soon as germination takes place. The seed usually germinates better if it is harvested 'green' (when it has fully developed but before it dries on the plant) and sown immediately.

    Japanese Apple Rust Gymnosporangium Yamadae Belongs to the Pucciniales, an Order That Includes Rust Fungi That Cause Diseases on Plants

    U.S. Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service Systematic Mycology and Microbiology Laboratory - Invasive Fungi Fact Sheets Japanese apple rust Gymnosporangium yamadae belongs to the Pucciniales, an order that includes rust fungi that cause diseases on plants. Gymnosporangium yamadae has been limited in distribution to Asia (China, Japan and Korea) where it can be a serious pathogen of cultivated apples, especially if the host of the telial state, Juniperus spp., occurs in close proximity. This fungus was recently reported from the United States (DE, PA) in its aecial state on the ornamental tree, Malus toringo (Yun et al. 2009). Gymnosporangium yamadae Miyabe ex G. Yamada 1904 Aecia on Malus, foliicolous, then hypophyllous, also less commonly caulicolous, fructicolous; initially developing in a whitish leaf spot that becomes rose red with a distinct margin. Peridium cornute to tubular, 3-7(-8) mm high, retaining this shape at maturity but with lacerate sides that often form a reticulate pattern, apex typically closed to occasionally dehiscent, yellow-brown to brown; peridial cells long-narrow rhomboid to linear-rhomboid, 59-115 µm long, pale yellow, appearing verrucose with long papillae to tuberculate, outer walls smooth, inner and side walls sparsely echinulate. Aeciospores globoid, 16-26 × 18-27 µm, walls dark yellow, 1.0-2.5 µm thick, rarely up to 3.5 µm thick, sparsely echinulate, 4-7 pores scattered on surface. Telia on Juniperus, caulicolous, rarely foliicolous, produced on globoid swellings or small galls, telial horns cylindric-acuminate, 1-3 mm diam, 5-8 mm high or more, orange, gelatinouse. Teliospores two-celled, oblong, ellipsoid or obovoid, 15-28 x 32-56 µm, walls 0.8-2.0 µm thick, yellow or orange, with two pores near septum and one pore toward apex in upper cell, frequently with an obtuse, hyaline papilla at apex.
