We have never had so many problems in fitting the range of plants we have “on our books” into the available space! We always try and keep our lists “democratic” and balanced although at times our prejudices show and one or two groups rise to the top. This year we are offering an unprecedented range of calochortus in a multiplicity of sizes, colours and flower shapes from the charming fairy lanterns of C. albidus through to the spectacular, later-flowering mariposas with upward-facing bowl-shaped flowers in a rich tapestry of shades from canary-yellow through to lilac, lavender and purple. Counterpoised to these flashy dandies we are offering an assortment of choice muscari whose quiet charm, softer colours and Tulipa vvedenskyi Tecophilaea cyanocrocus Violacea persistent flowering make them no less effective in the winter and spring garden. Standouts among this group are the deliciously scented duo, M. muscarimi and M. macrocarpum and the striking and little known tassel-hyacith, M. weissii. While it has its devotees, many gardeners are unaware of the qualities of the large and diverse tribe of “onions”, known as alliums. -
Oxalis Pilosa (Oxalidaceae) Adventive in Texas
Nesom, G.L. 2014. Oxalis pilosa (Oxalidaceae) adventive in Texas. Phytoneuron 2014-13: 1–3. Published 6 January 2014. ISSN 2153 733X OXALIS PILOSA (OXALIDACEAE) ADVENTIVE IN TEXAS GUY L. NESOM 2925 Hartwood Drive Fort Worth, Texas 76109 www.guynesom.com ABSTRACT Oxalis pilosa was observed and collected in a park in San Angelo, Texas (Tom Green Co.), in 1983, where it apparently was naturalized. The Texas locality is long-disjunct from the primary range of the species far to the west. Continued study of Oxalis collections reveals the presence in Texas of O. pilosa Nutt. ex Torr. & A. Gray, a species not previously known to occur in the state. It is known only from this single collection, disjunct far to the east of its primary geographic range. Voucher. Texas . Tom Green Co.: South San Angelo, dry sandy soil S of Southland Park, 14 Mar 1983, Steen 12 (BRIT). Figures 1 and 2. The native distribution of Oxalis pilosa is primarily in Arizona, southern California, and northwestern Mexico –– it occurs as an adventive in peripheral localities in Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, and Utah (Nesom 2009). In Mexico it occurs primarily in northwestern states (Baja California, Chihuahua, Coahuila, Durango, Sonora), with scattered localities to the east in Nuevo León. Oxalis pilosa is characterized as a caulescent perennial arising from a ligneous or lignescent taproot. Stems are proximally lignescent, usually 2–8 from the base, decumbent to ascending, and sparsely to densely pilose, the hairs spreading, irregularly oriented to somewhat regularly deflexed, the longer 0.7–1.2 mm. It has been treated as an infraspecific entity within O. -
