Plants, and Its Surroundings Are Filled with Lovely and Historic Gardens and Parks, Each with Newspapers and Leaves erIC• an • • IC urIS The Camp Springs Community Garden Project in Camp Springs, Maryland, has a motto that rings true for all community gardens, and in fact, all gardens in general: "Gardening is down to earth." There is something about kneeling in the rich brown earth, with your friends and neighbors and the sweet smells of the garden sur­ rounding you, that awakens the senses and brings an inner peace to the soul. Community gardeners of all ages reap both intangible and tangible rewards from their gardening projects, including a sense of community, an appreciation for the environment, horticultural therapy, nutritious and less expensive food ... and the list goes on.

Address for correspondence: Nicolás García, [email protected] DOI https://doi.org/10.1002/tax.12062 Abstract A robust generic classification for Amaryllidaceae has remained elusive mainly due to the lack of unequivocal diagnostic characters, a consequence of highly canalized variation and a deeply reticulated evolutionary history. A consensus classification is pro- posed here, based on recent molecular phylogenetic studies, morphological and cytogenetic variation, and accounting for secondary criteria of classification, such as nomenclatural stability. Using the latest sutribal classification of Hippeastreae (Hippeastrinae and Traubiinae) as a foundation, we propose the recognition of six genera, namely Eremolirion gen. nov., Hippeastrum, Phycella s.l., Rhodolirium s.str., Traubia, and Zephyranthes s.l. A subgeneric classification is suggested for Hippeastrum and Zephyranthes to denote putative subclades.

After thirty two years, this still remains our primary goal. Others may be focusing elsewhere, but we remain firmly committed to the independent retailers and landscape professionals that have long been loyal to us. We thank our customers for their continued business and offer them this 2011 catalog with many exciting new plants, but no overall price increases. We also remain committed to the fact that water remains a precious and limited commodity. To this end we continue to expand our line of water conserving succulents and plants from mediterranean climates, including many from our own California flora. This catalog has 145 new plants, which are all listed at the back of this catalog and are accompanied within the catalog body with a star ( ). Of these new plants, 56 are succulents, bringing the total number of succulents we now grow to 379, and 29 are California native plants, bringing our total of native plants to 156. We also are proud to offer 9 new plants from the UC Santa Cruz Koala Blooms Australian Native Plant program and so now are growing 29 great plants from this program and bringing to 190 the total number of different Australian plants that we currently grow.

  • Obdiplostemony: the Occurrence of a Transitional Stage Linking Robust Flower Configurations

E-mail [email protected] Received: 17 July 2015 Returned for revision: 1 September 2015 Accepted: 23 December 2015 Published electronically: 24 March 2016 Background and Aims Obdiplostemony has long been a controversial condition as it diverges from diploste- mony found among most core eudicot orders by the more external insertion of the alternisepalous stamens. In this paper we review the definition and occurrence of obdiplostemony, and analyse how the condition has impacted on floral diversification and species evolution. Key Results Obdiplostemony represents an amalgamation of at least five different floral developmental pathways, all of them leading to the external positioning of the alternisepalous stamen whorl within a two-whorled androe- cium. In secondary obdiplostemony the antesepalous stamens arise before the alternisepalous stamens. The position of alternisepalous stamens at maturity is more external due to subtle shifts of stamens linked to a weakening of the alternisepalous sector including stamen and petal (type I), alternisepalous stamens arising de facto externally of antesepalous stamens (type II) or alternisepalous stamens shifting outside due to the sterilization of antesepalous sta- mens (type III: Sapotaceae).
