  • Guide to the Flora of the Carolinas, Virginia, and Georgia, Working Draft of 17 March 2004 -- LILIACEAE
    Guide to the Flora of the Carolinas, Virginia, and Georgia, Working Draft of 17 March 2004 -- LILIACEAE LILIACEAE de Jussieu 1789 (Lily Family) (also see AGAVACEAE, ALLIACEAE, ALSTROEMERIACEAE, AMARYLLIDACEAE, ASPARAGACEAE, COLCHICACEAE, HEMEROCALLIDACEAE, HOSTACEAE, HYACINTHACEAE, HYPOXIDACEAE, MELANTHIACEAE, NARTHECIACEAE, RUSCACEAE, SMILACACEAE, THEMIDACEAE, TOFIELDIACEAE) As here interpreted narrowly, the Liliaceae constitutes about 11 genera and 550 species, of the Northern Hemisphere. There has been much recent investigation and re-interpretation of evidence regarding the upper-level taxonomy of the Liliales, with strong suggestions that the broad Liliaceae recognized by Cronquist (1981) is artificial and polyphyletic. Cronquist (1993) himself concurs, at least to a degree: "we still await a comprehensive reorganization of the lilies into several families more comparable to other recognized families of angiosperms." Dahlgren & Clifford (1982) and Dahlgren, Clifford, & Yeo (1985) synthesized an early phase in the modern revolution of monocot taxonomy. Since then, additional research, especially molecular (Duvall et al. 1993, Chase et al. 1993, Bogler & Simpson 1995, and many others), has strongly validated the general lines (and many details) of Dahlgren's arrangement. The most recent synthesis (Kubitzki 1998a) is followed as the basis for familial and generic taxonomy of the lilies and their relatives (see summary below). References: Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (1998, 2003); Tamura in Kubitzki (1998a). Our “liliaceous” genera (members of orders placed in the Lilianae) are therefore divided as shown below, largely following Kubitzki (1998a) and some more recent molecular analyses. ALISMATALES TOFIELDIACEAE: Pleea, Tofieldia. LILIALES ALSTROEMERIACEAE: Alstroemeria COLCHICACEAE: Colchicum, Uvularia. LILIACEAE: Clintonia, Erythronium, Lilium, Medeola, Prosartes, Streptopus, Tricyrtis, Tulipa. MELANTHIACEAE: Amianthium, Anticlea, Chamaelirium, Helonias, Melanthium, Schoenocaulon, Stenanthium, Veratrum, Toxicoscordion, Trillium, Xerophyllum, Zigadenus.

In order to reduce work, I am sowing fewer seeds and concentrating on selling excess stock which has been repotted in the current year. Some are therefore in quite small numbers. I hope that you find something of interest and order early to avoid any disappointments. Please note that my autumn seed list is included below. This means that seed is fresher and you can sow it earlier. Terms of Business: I can accept payment by either: • Cheque made out to "R Wallis" (n.b. Please do not fill in the amount but add the words “not to exceed £xx” ACROSS THE TOP); • PayPal, please include your email address with the order and wait for an invoice after I dispatch your order; • In cash (Sterling, Euro or US dollar are accepted, in this case I advise using registered mail). Please note that I can only accept orders placed before the end of August. Parcels will be dispatched at the beginning of September. If you are going to be away please let me know so that I can coordinate dispatch. I will not cash your cheque until your order is dispatched. If ordering by email, and following up by post, please ensure that you tick the box on the order form to avoid duplication. Acis autumnalis var pulchella A Moroccan version of this excellent early autumn flowerer. It is quite distinct in the fact that the pedicels and bracts are green rather than maroon as in the type variety.

  • Narcissus Juncifolius
    Report under the Article 17 of the Habitats Directive European Environment Period 2007-2012 Agency European Topic Centre on Biological Diversity Narcissus juncifolius Annex V Priority No Species group Vascular plants Regions Alpine, Atlantic, Mediterranean Narcissus juncifolius is endemic to France, occuring in Alpine, Atlantic and Mediterranean regions. The taxonomy of this taxon is not clear. According to the information on the IUCN red list website the synonym species Narcissus assoanus ssp. praelongus is present in Spain. However, Spain did not report the species. In the IUCN red list the species is assessed as Least Concern (LC) with stable population trend. It is not assessed in the French red list (2012). The overall conclusion in the Alpine region is "Unfavorable Inadequate" due to a negative population trend. It occurs with a population of 1000-5000 individuals. The main distribution area of Narcissus juncifolius is in the Mediterranean region of France. However, the population is "Unknown", but assessed as "Favorable". As in the previous report, the conservation status is "Favorable" in all components. In the French Atlantic region is assessed as "Favorable" in all components (reported for the first time). The species occurs with a population of 10000-50000 individuals Main threats (mainly low rank) are grazing, cultivation, urbanisation, modification of cultural practices and mining. No changes in overall conservation status between 2001-06 and 2007-12 reports in Alpine and Mediterranean region. The species was not reported

  • Developmental Regulation of the Expression of Amaryllidaceae Alkaloid Biosynthetic Genes in Narcissus Papyraceus
    G C A T T A C G G C A T genes Article Developmental Regulation of the Expression of Amaryllidaceae Alkaloid Biosynthetic Genes in Narcissus papyraceus Tarun Hotchandani 1, Justine de Villers 1 and Isabel Desgagné-Penix 1,2,* 1 Department of Chemistry, Biochemistry and Physics, Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières, 3351 boulevard des Forges, Trois-Rivières, QC G9A 5H7, Canada 2 Plant Biology Research Group, Trois-Rivières, QC G9A 5H7, Canada * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-819-376-5011 Received: 6 July 2019; Accepted: 5 August 2019; Published: 7 August 2019 Abstract: Amaryllidaceae alkaloids (AAs) have multiple biological effects, which are of interest to the pharmaceutical industry. To unleash the potential of Amaryllidaceae plants as pharmaceutical crops and as sources of AAs, a thorough understanding of the AA biosynthetic pathway is needed. However, only few enzymes in the pathway are known. Here, we report the transcriptome of AA-producing paperwhites (Narcissus papyraceus Ker Gawl). We present a list of 21 genes putatively encoding enzymes involved in AA biosynthesis. Next, a cDNA library was created from 24 different samples of different parts at various developmental stages of N. papyraceus. The expression of AA biosynthetic genes was analyzed in each sample using RT-qPCR. In addition, the alkaloid content of each sample was analyzed by HPLC. Leaves and flowers were found to have the highest abundance of heterocyclic compounds, whereas the bulb, the lowest. Lycorine was also the predominant AA. The gene expression results were compared with the heterocyclic compound profiles for each sample. In some samples, a positive correlation was observed between the gene expression levels and the amount of compounds accumulated.

Methods of cultivation Introduction: The name The name ‘narcissus’ is derived from the Greek word ‘narkaein’, meaning paralysed or numbed. Narcissus was a beautiful, proud young man in Greek mythology. Too proud to return the love of women, the envy of those scorned led to his downfall. While out hunting one day, he stopped to refresh himself at a spring. Seeing his image reflected in the water, he fell in love with it and pined away for his unattainable love, until there was nothing left but a beautiful narcissus. The narcissi like the Hippeastrum

Consequently, many errors in interpretation of these names have occurred and taxonomic confusion, errors in identification and misapplication of names have led to an accumulation of taxonomic entanglement in Narcissus Linnaeus (1753: 289) nomenclature.

  • Georgia Kamari Fritillaria Species
    Georgia Kamari Fritillaria species (Liliaceae) with yellow or yellowish-green flowers in Greece Abstract Kamari, G.: Fritillaria species (Liliaceae) with yellow or yellowish-green flowers in Greece. - Bocconea 5: 221-238. 1996. - ISSN 1 120-4060. There are 7 yellow- or yellowish-green-flowered Fritillaria species in Greeee, 4 of which are endemie. F. conica and F. euboeica, endemie to mainland Greeee and Evvia, are distinct by their 3-fid styles. F. rhodia is restricted to the island of Rodos. F. pelinaea, here described as a new species from Mt Pelineo on the island of Hios, was previously confused with F. carica and F. bithynica, found both on the East Aegean islands and in Asia Minor. The presence on the island of Samos of F. forbesii is reported, which is a new record for Greece. The main morpho­ logical features of the seven species are described and compared with those of related speeies. The karyotypes of F. rhodia and F. pelinaea are presented for the first time, that of F. bithynica was studied on a newly discovered population. Some differences in karyotype morphology are reported, especially in the marker and SA T chromosomes. The oceurrence of yellowish-green variants in normally purplish-flowercd Fritillaria species is discussed. Introduction The yellow or green colour exists in the fIowers of most Fritillaria species as tessella­ tions or fascia, or on the inner side of the tepals. Old World Fritillaria species with purely yeIIow or yeIIowish-green fIowers (outside and within) are so far known from Iran (3 out of 15 species), Turkey (8 out of 30 species), and Greece (7 out of 23 species).

Received: 28 April 2013; in revised form: 26 May 2013 / Accepted: 27 May 2013 / Published: 31 May 2013 Abstract: The alkaloids characteristically produced by the subfamily Amaryllidoideae of the Amaryllidaceae, bulbous plant species that include well know genera such as Narcissus (daffodils) and Galanthus (snowdrops), are a source of new pharmaceutical compounds. Presently, only the Amaryllidaceae alkaloid galanthamine, an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor used to treat symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease, is produced commercially as a drug from cultivated plants. However, several Amaryllidaceae alkaloids have shown great promise as anti-cancer drugs, but their further clinical development is restricted by their limited commercial availability. Amaryllidaceae species have a long history of cultivation and breeding as ornamental bulbs, and phytochemical research has focussed on the diversity in alkaloid content and composition. In contrast to the available pharmacological and phytochemical data, ecological, physiological and molecular aspects of the Amaryllidaceae and their alkaloids are much less explored and the identity of the alkaloid biosynthetic genes is presently unknown. An improved molecular understanding of Amaryllidaceae alkaloid biosynthesis would greatly benefit the rational design of breeding programs to produce cultivars optimised for the production of pharmaceutical compounds and enable biotechnology based approaches.
