They will be ready to root on the mature front pseudobulb and will establish quickly. The summer bloomers, will be brittle and may be in bud. Nonetheless, experienced growers know that unless potted now, they may not root later, as this type tends to be seasonal in its rooting behavior. Stake the lead growth to avoid breakage. May can still present some changing light conditions that can lead to burning of the foliage if the plants have not been properly acclimatized.

Brittonia 57: 334-344. 2005.-Astragalus lentiginosus is a polymorphic species that occurs in geologi- cally young habitats and whose varietal circumscription implies active morpho- logical and genetic differentiation. In this preliminary study, we evaluate the po- tential of amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers to resolve infraspecific taxa in three varieties of Astragalus lentiginosus. Distance-based principle coordinate and neighbor-joining analyses result in clustering of individ- uals that is congruent with population origin and varietal circumscription. Anal- ysis of molecular variance of two Oregon varieties demonstrates that varietal categories account for 11% of the total variance; in contrast, geographic proximity does not contribute to the total variance. AFLPs demonstrate an ability to dis- criminate varieties of A. lentiginosus despite a potentially confounding geographic pattern, and may prove effective at inferring relationships throughout the group. Key words: AFLP, amplified fragment length polymorphism, Astragalus lenti- ginosus, genetic differentiation, infraspecific taxa. Astragalus lentiginosus Dougl.

  • New Combination in Astragalus (Fabaceae)
    Smith, J.F. and J.C. Zimmers. 2017. New combination in Astragalus (Fabaceae). Phytoneuron 2017-38: 1–3. Published 1 June 2017. ISSN 2153 733X NEW COMBINATION IN ASTRAGALUS (FABACEAE) JAMES F. SMITH and JAY C. ZIMMERS Department of Biological Sciences Snake River Plains Herbarium Boise State University Boise, Idaho 83725 [email protected] ABSTRACT Recent molecular phylogenetic analyses have established that the four varieties of Astragalus cusickii are three distinct, monophyletic clades: A. cusickii var. cusickii and A. cusickii var. flexilipes form one clade, A. cusickii var. sterilis and A. cusickii var. packardiae each form the other two. Although relationships among the clades in the analyses are poorly resolved, they are also poorly resolved with respect to other recognized species in the genus. Morphological data provide unique synapomorphies for each of the clades and therefore we propose to recognize three distinct species, with A. cusickii var. flexilipes retained at the rank of variety. A new combination brings A. cusickii var. packardiae to species rank, as Astragalus packardiae (Barneby) J.F. Sm. & Zimmers, comb. nov. , whereas A. sterilis has already been published. Astragalus L. is a diverse group of approximately 2500 species (Frodin 2004; Lock & Schrire 2005; Mabberley 2008) and has a rich diversity in four geographic areas (southwest and south-central Asia, the Sino-Himalayan region, the Mediterranean Basin, and western North America; in addition the Andes in South America have at least 100 species. Second to Eurasia in terms of species diversity is the New World, with approximately 400-450 species. The Intermountain Region of western North America (Barneby 1989) is especially diverse, and an estimated 70 species of Astragalus can be found in Idaho alone, including several endemic taxa (Mancuso 1999).

Astragalus coluteocarpus Boiss. subsp. heratensis Podlech is described. m. Was ist Astragalus lusitanicus Lam. ? Astragalus lusitanicus Lam. ist eine große, stattliche Pflanze, die im westlichen Mittelmeer- gebiet schon früh Beachtung gefunden hat. LiNNE beschrieb sie als Phaca baetica, Lamarck mußte bei der Überfuhrung in die Gattung einen neuen Namen wählen, da Astragalus boeticus L. bereits vergeben war. Innerhalb der Gattung Astragalus war unsere Art vor allem wegen der großen, aufgeblasenen, unilokulären Hülsen und wegen des schiefen glockigen Kelches immer ein Fremdkörper, was BOISSIER, den hervorragenden Kenner der Gattung veranlaßte, für sie eine eigene Gattung Erophaca zu bilden. Dennoch galt die Art bis heute unangefochten als eine Vertreterin der Gattung Astragalus. Eine genaue Merkmalsanalyse ergab jedoch eine Reihe auffallend abweichender Merkmale, so daß die Zugehörigkeit zur Gattung Astragalus nicht länger aufrecht erhalten werden kann. Seitlich angeheftete und schwach gehöckerte Kelche mit schief abgeschnittener ÖflBiung finden sich zwar in einigen basalen Gruppen der Gattung sowie in deren Verwandtschaft bei Chesneya und Gueldenstaedtia, jedoch verbietet dieses Merkmal in Verbindung mit anderen, bisher übersehenen Charakteren eindeutig einen Verbleib in der Tribus der Galegeae, zu der Astragalus und Verwandte zu rechnen sind.

  • Purple Milk-Vetch Astragalus Danicus Purple Milk-Vetch Is a Low-Growing Hairy Herb of the Pea Family (Fabaceae)
    Species fact sheet Purple Milk-vetch Astragalus danicus Purple milk-vetch is a low-growing hairy herb of the pea family (Fabaceae). The pinnate leaves 3-7 cm in length are typical of the family, with hairy leaflets 5-12 mm in length. Bluish-purple pea-like flowers that are 15 mm long are gathered in short compact racemes that look like a compact flower head with stalks much thicker than the leaf stalk. Swollen seed pods are dark brown with obvious white hairs. Members of the pea family are known to provide a good nectar resource for pollinating insects. © Christian Koppitz under Creative Commons BY licence Lifecycle Purple milk-vetch is a perennial plant flowering mainly in June and July. Very little is known about its seed longevity, but the plant has reappeared on land cleared of coniferous plantation in the Norfolk Brecklands suggesting quite significant seed dormancy capacity. Habitat Its main habitats are species-rich short, dry and infertile calcareous grassland, on both limestone and chalk. The plant is also found on coastal sand-dunes and in the Brecks on inland calcareous sands. It appears to be physically rather than chemically restricted to calcareous soils and will grow on moderately acid sands/gravels as long as competition from other species is kept low, primarily by adequate grazing and maintenance of low soil nutrient status. In Scotland purple milk-vetch is also present on old red sandstone sea cliffs and machair grassland. Distribution Purple milk-vetch has inland populations in southern England in Gloucestershire, Wiltshire, the Chilterns and on the Brecklands of Norfolk and Suffolk.

Abstract. Objectives Chinese milk vetch (Astragalus sinicus) is a major green manure planting in southern paddy fields. This paper designs an experimental to discuss the effects of incorporation of milk vetch on paddy soil microbes, including theeffects on microbial population, the effects on microbial biomass carbon, the effects on microbial biomass nitrogen and the effects on microbial biomass phosphorus in order to provide some references for the relevant researchers. Concept of Chinese Milk Vech The Chinese milk vetch, also known as Astragalus sinicus, is native to China. It likes warm and humid conditions and has a certain hardy ability. The Chinese milk vetchrequires sufficient moistureduring the whole growth period. Milk vetch on the soil loose, Sandy and clayey loam is suitable to. The Chinese milk vetch has low tolerance to salt tolerance, which is a kind of legumes and astragalus. A mast root, lateral roots buried shallow, a cylindrical stem, hollow, tender and juicy, sparsely pubescent.
