While these dry hot spells of winter can be some of the loveliest days of the year, they also serve to remind us that we live in a mediterranean climate and should be gardening with plants best suited to our climate. To this end, every year we have added plants that we feel are appropriate to the “California Garden”. Not all of these plants are from mediterranean climates and some may require a little supplemental irrigation, but they all perform well in our cool moist winters and warm dry summers. This year we have greatly expanded our succulent offerings and continue to work with individuals, other nurseries, and botanic gardens to introduce exciting new succulents and other plants that grow well in our climate. We have also added more aquatic plants for those small oases of water that can make a garden so much more soothing. These new plants are listed in the back of our catalog on page 50. Following our new plant list are lists of plants native to California and other mediterranean climate regions. More information on our plants, often with pictures, is available on our website at www.smgrowers.com. The staff of San Marcos Growers looks forward to working with all of our customers to make 2006 another excellent year in horticulture.

Nuytsia 20: 309–318 (2010). Verticordia mitchelliana subsp. implexior A.S.George & M.D.Barrett and Verticordia setacea A.S.George are described and discussed. Verticordia setacea belongs with V. gracilis A.S.George in section Platandra, previously a monotypic section. Introduction The genus Verticordia DC. (Myrtaceae: tribe Chamelaucieae) is a charismatic group of shrubs found mainly in south-western Australia, with several species in adjacent arid regions and three in tropical Australia (George 1991; George & Pieroni 2002). Verticordia is currently defined solely on the possession of divided calyx lobes, but the limits between Verticordia and the related genera Homoranthus A.Cunn. ex Schauer, Chamelaucium Desf. and Darwinia Rudge are difficult to define conclusively, and other characteristics such as anther morphology suggest conflicting relationships (Bentham 1867; Craven & Jones 1991; George 1991). A recent analysis using a single chloroplast gene, with limited sampling of Verticordia taxa (Ma et al. 2002), suggests that Verticordia may be polyphyletic.

  • Variation in Seed Production and Germination in 22 Rare and Threatened Western Australian Verticordia (Myrtaceae)
    Journal of the Royal Society of Western Australia, 84:103-110, 2001 Variation in seed production and germination in 22 rare and threatened Western Australian Verticordia (Myrtaceae) A Cochrane1, K Brown2, S Cunneen3 & A Kelly4 1Threatened Flora Seed Centre, Department of Conservation and Land Management, Locked Bag 104, Bentley Delivery Centre, Perth WA 6983 2Environmental Weeds Action Network, 108 Adelaide Terrace, East Perth WA 6000 3CSIRO Centre for Mediterranean Agricultural Research, Floreat WA 6014 424 Carnarvon St, East Victoria Park WA 6100 email: [email protected] Manuscript received August 2000, accepted March 2001 Abstract This study investigates the reproductive potential of 22 rare and threatened Western Australian taxa in the genus Verticordia (Myrtaceae) over a 5-year period. Considerable inter- and intra-specific variation in both seed production and germinability was demonstrated for the majority of taxa. The seed to flower ratio, or “seed set”, ranged from 0% to 68% with an overall mean of 21% in 82 accessions representing seed from 48 populations of the 22 taxa. Percentage germination ranged from 7% to 100% with an average of 49% for 68 accessions. The precariously low annual reproductive capacity of some of the more restricted and critically endangered taxa threatens their survival and unexpected disturbance events may result in population decline or even localised extinction. Mitigation measures such as the reintroduction of plant material into new sites and the enhancement of existing populations through additional plantings may be warranted for many of Western Australia’s rare and threatened Verticordia. Keywords: Verticordia, seed production, germination Introduction prominently displayed feathery flowers are borne singly but appear as heads or spikes and are generally brightly Verticordia (family Myrtaceae, sub-family coloured, ranging from yellow to red to purple.

  • The Vegetation of Robinson Crusoe Island (Isla Masatierra), Juan
    The Vegetation ofRobinson Crusoe Island (Isla Masatierra), Juan Fernandez Archipelago, Chile1 Josef Greimler,2,3 Patricio Lopez 5., 4 Tod F. Stuessy, 2and Thomas Dirnbiick5 Abstract: Robinson Crusoe Island of the Juan Fernandez Archipelago, as is the case with many oceanic islands, has experienced strong human disturbances through exploitation ofresources and introduction of alien biota. To understand these impacts and for purposes of diversity and resource management, an accu­ rate assessment of the composition and structure of plant communities was made. We analyzed the vegetation with 106 releves (vegetation records) and subsequent Twinspan ordination and produced a detailed colored map at 1: 30,000. The resultant map units are (1) endemic upper montane forest, (2) endemic lower montane forest, (3) Ugni molinae shrubland, (4) Rubus ulmifolius­ Aristotelia chilensis shrubland, (5) fern assemblages, (6) Libertia chilensis assem­ blage, (7) Acaena argentea assemblage, (8) native grassland, (9) weed assemblages, (10) tall ruderals, and (11) cultivated Eucalyptus, Cupressus, and Pinus. Mosaic patterns consisting of several communities are recognized as mixed units: (12) combined upper and lower montane endemic forest with aliens, (13) scattered native vegetation among rocks at higher elevations, (14) scattered grassland and weeds among rocks at lower elevations, and (15) grassland with Acaena argentea. Two categories are included that are not vegetation units: (16) rocks and eroded areas, and (17) settlement and airfield. Endemic forests at lower elevations and in drier zones of the island are under strong pressure from three woody species, Aristotelia chilensis, Rubus ulmifolius, and Ugni molinae. The latter invades native forests by ascending dry slopes and ridges.

Historical Setting of the Guianan Plant Heritage The Guianas are embedded high in the green shoulder of northern South America, an area once known as the "Wild Coast". They are the only non-Latin American countries in South America, and are situated just north of the Equator in a configuration with the Amazon River of Brazil to the south and the Orinoco River of Venezuela to the west. The three Guianas comprise, from west to east, the countries of Guyana (area: 83,000 square miles; capital: Georgetown), Surinam (area: 63, 037 square miles; capital: Paramaribo) and French Guiana (area: 34, 740 square miles; capital: Cayenne). Perhaps the earliest physical contact between Europeans and the present-day Guianas occurred in 1500 when the Spanish navigator Vincente Yanez Pinzon, after discovering the Amazon River, sailed northwest and entered the Oyapock River, which is now the eastern boundary of French Guiana.

  • Orchids: 2017 Global Ex Situ Collections Assessment
    Orchids: 2017 Global Ex situ Collections Assessment Botanic gardens collectively maintain one-third of Earth's plant diversity. Through their conservation, education, horticulture, and research activities, botanic gardens inspire millions of people each year about the importance of plants. Ophrys apifera (Bernard DuPon) Angraecum conchoglossum With one in five species facing extinction due to threats such (Scott Zona) as habitat loss, climate change, and invasive species, botanic garden ex situ collections serve a central purpose in preventing the loss of species and essential genetic diversity. To support the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation, botanic gardens create integrated conservation programs that utilize diverse partners and innovative techniques. As genetically diverse collections are developed, our collective global safety net against plant extinction is strengthened. Country-level distribution of orchids around the world (map data courtesy of Michael Harrington via ArcGIS) Left to right: Renanthera monachica (Dalton Holland Baptista ), Platanthera ciliaris (Wikimedia Commons Jhapeman) , Anacamptis boryi (Hans Stieglitz) and Paphiopedilum exul (Wikimedia Commons Orchi ). Orchids The diversity, stunning flowers, seductiveness, size, and ability to hybridize are all traits which make orchids extremely valuable Orchids (Orchidaceae) make up one of the largest plant families to collectors, florists, and horticulturists around the world. on Earth, comprising over 25,000 species and around 8% of all Over-collection of wild plants is a major cause of species flowering plants (Koopowitz, 2001). Orchids naturally occur on decline in the wild.
