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. Basal Angiosperms (ANITA grade) Amborellales Amborellaceae, sole family, the earliest branch of flowering plants, a shrub native to New Caledonia – Amborella Nymphaeales Hydatellaceae – aquatics from Australasia, previously classified as a grass Cabombaceae (water shield – Brasenia, fanwort – Cabomba) Nymphaeaceae (water lilies – Nymphaea; pond lilies – Nuphar) Austrobaileyales Schisandraceae (wild sarsaparilla, star vine – Schisandra; Japanese -
Rubiaceae), and the Description of the New Species Galianthe Vasquezii from Peru and Colombia
Morphological and molecular data confirm the transfer of homostylous species in the typically distylous genus Galianthe (Rubiaceae), and the description of the new species Galianthe vasquezii from Peru and Colombia Javier Elias Florentín1, Andrea Alejandra Cabaña Fader1, Roberto Manuel Salas1, Steven Janssens2, Steven Dessein2 and Elsa Leonor Cabral1 1 Herbarium CTES, Instituto de Botánica del Nordeste, Corrientes, Argentina 2 Plant systematic, Botanic Garden Meise, Meise, Belgium ABSTRACT Galianthe (Rubiaceae) is a neotropical genus comprising 50 species divided into two subgenera, Galianthe subgen. Galianthe, with 39 species and Galianthe subgen. Ebelia, with 11 species. The diagnostic features of the genus are: usually erect habit with xylopodium, distylous flowers arranged in lax thyrsoid inflorescences, bifid stigmas, 2-carpellate and longitudinally dehiscent fruits, with dehiscent valves or indehiscent mericarps, plump seeds or complanate with a wing-like strophiole, and pollen with double reticulum, rarely with a simple reticulum. This study focused on two species that were originally described under Diodia due to the occurrence of fruits indehiscent mericarps: Diodia palustris and D. spicata. In the present study, classical taxonomy is combined with molecular analyses. As a result, we propose that both Diodia species belong to Galianthe subgen. Ebelia. The molecular position within Galianthe, based on ITS and ETS sequences, has been supported by the following morphological Submitted 10 June 2017 characters: thyrsoid, spiciform or cymoidal inflorescences, bifid stigmas, pollen grains Accepted 19 October 2017 with a double reticulum, and indehiscent mericarps. However, both species, unlike the Published 23 November 2017 remainder of the genus Galianthe, have homostylous flowers, so the presence of this Corresponding author type of flower significantly modifies the generic concept. -

Vegetation Succession Along New Roads at Soqotra Island (Yemen): Effects of Invasive Plant Species and Utilization of Selected N

The vegetation along the roads was disturbed and the erosion started immediately after the disturbance caused by the road construction. Our assumption is that biotechnical measurements should prevent the problems caused by erosion and improve stabilization of road edges. The knowledge of plant species which are able to grow in unfavourable conditions along the roads is important for correct selection of plants used for outplanting. The vegetation succession was observed using phytosociological relevés as a tool of recording and mapping assambblages of plants species along the roads as new linear structures in the landscape. Data from phytosociological relevés were analysed and the succession was characterised in different altitudes. The results can help us to select group of plants (especially shrubs and trees), which are suitable to be used as stabilizing green mantle in various site conditions and for different purposes (anti-erosional, ornamental, protection against noise or dust, etc.). -

llllllllllllllllllllllllllllll PUFF /MFN 9702 Malayan Nature Joumal200l, 55 (1 & 2): 133 ~ 146 The Significance of Gynoecium and Fruit and Seed Characters for the Classification of the Rubiaceae CHRISTIAN(PUFF1 Abstract: This paper attempts to give a survey of the highly diverse situation found in the gynoecium (especially ovary) of the Rubiaceae (multi-, pluri-, pauci- and uniovulate locules; reduction of ovules and septa in the course of development, etc.). The changes that can take place after fertilisation (i.e., during fruit and seed development) are discussed using selected examples. An overview of the many diverse types of fruits and seeds of the Rubiaceae is presented. In addition, the paper surveys the diaspores (dispersal units) found in the family and correlates them with the morphological-anatomical situation. Finally, selected discrepancies between "traditional" classification systems of the Rubiaceae and recent cladistic analyses are discussed. While DNA analyses and cladistic studies are undoubtedly needed and useful, it is apparent that detailed (comparative) morphological-anatomical studies of gynoecium, fruits and seeds can significantly contribute to the solution of"problem cases" and should not be neglected, Future cladistic :work should, therefore, more generously include such data. INTRODUCTION The Rubiaceae, with approximately 11 ,000 species and more than 630 genera (Mabberley 1987, Robbrecht 1988), is one of the five largest families of angiosperms. Although centred in the tropics and subtropics and essentially woody, the family also extends to temperate regions and exhibits a wide array of growth forms, with some tribes having herbaceous, and even annual members. Not surprisingly, floral, fruit and seed characters also show considerable diversity. -

Entre ellos, las abejas constituyen un eslabón esencial en la polinización de angiospermas que durante millones de años desarrollaron estrategias cada vez más específicas para atraerlas. De esta forma se establece una relación muy fuerte entre am- bos, planta-polinizador, y cuanto mayor es la especialización, tal como sucede en un gran número de especies de orquídeas y cactáceas entre otros grupos, ésta se torna más vulnerable ante cambios ambientales naturales o producidos por el hombre. De esta forma, el estudio de este tipo de interacciones resulta cada vez más importante en vista del incremento de áreas perturbadas o modificadas de manera antrópica en las cuales la fauna y flora queda expuesta a adaptarse a las nuevas condiciones o desaparecer.
