Phylogeny/Classification of the Families of Vascular Plants of North Central Texas D APPENDIX ONE PHYLOGENY/CLASSIFICATION OF THE FAMILIES OF VASCULAR PLANTS OF NORTH CENTRAL TEXAS This phylogeny/classification is modified from those of Cronquist (1981, 1988), Lellinger (1985), and Hickman (1993). The synopses of subclasses are from Hickman (1993) and Woodland (1997). A classi- fication system including all families of vascular plants can be found in Mabberley (1987, 1997). Figure 36 (from Cronquist 1988) is a diagram of relationships of subclasses of flowering plants.

Gillette Museum of Arthropod Diversity, Department of Bioagricultural Sciences and Pest Management Colorado State University, Fort Collins, CO 80523 Abstract A list of 1531 species ofLepidoptera is presented, collected over 15 years (1988 to 2002), in eleven southern West Virginia counties. A variety of collecting methods was used, including netting, light attracting, light trapping and pheromone trapping. The specimens were identified by the currently available pictorial sources and determination keys. Many were also sent to specialists for confirmation or identification. The majority of the data was from Kanawha County, reflecting the area of more intensive sampling effort by the senior author. This imbalance of data between Kanawha County and other counties should even out with further sampling of the area. Key Words: Appalachian Mountains,

(Apocynaceae) is a traditional medicinal T Y H • R plant in Middle East and South Asia. It contains a large number of G I E L S H 93 E G terpenoid indole alkaloids (TIAs), some of which possess A I R H C interesting pharmacological properties. This study was focused on H biotechnological production tools of R. stricta, namely undifferentiated cell cultures, and an Agrobacterium rhizogenes- mediated transformation method to obtain hairy roots expressing heterologous genes from the early TIA pathway. Rha zya alkaloids comprise a wide range of structures and polarities, therefore, many A analytical methods were developed to investigate the alkaloid l k contents in in vitro cultures. Targeted and non-targeted analyses a l o were carried out using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry i d (GC-MS), high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), ultra s o performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UPLC- f i MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. n Calli derived from stems contained elevated levels of v i t r strictosidine lactam compared to other in vitro cultures. It o was revealed that only leaves were susceptible to Agrobacterium c u infection and subsequent root induction. The transformation l t u efficiency varied from 22% to 83% depending on the gene. A total r e of 17 TIAs were identified from hairy root extracts by UPLC-MS.

    Fact Sheet ST-19 November 1993 Acer leucoderme Chalk Maple1 Edward F. Gilman and Dennis G. Watson2 INTRODUCTION This 25 to 30-foot-tall native North American tree is reportedly quite similar to Acer barbatum or Florida Maple and is often seen with multiple trunks (Fig. 1). The chalky white or light gray bark is quite attractive, with the bark on older trees becoming ridged and blackened near the ground. The two to three-inch- diameter, lobed leaves, with fuzzy undersides, give a spectacular display in the fall months, ranging from shimmering yellow to vivid orange and deep red. GENERAL INFORMATION Scientific name: Acer leucoderme Pronunciation: AY-ser loo-koe-DER-mee Common name(s): Chalk Maple, Whitebark Maple Family: Aceraceae USDA hardiness zones: 5B through 8 (Fig. 2) Origin: native to North America Uses: large parking lot islands (> 200 square feet in size); wide tree lawns (>6 feet wide); medium-sized tree lawns (4-6 feet wide); recommended for buffer strips around parking lots or for median strip plantings in the highway; near a deck or patio; reclamation Figure 1.
