Accepted 6 July, 2012 Paeonia is a phylogenetically and taxonomically complex group. In this study, two chloroplast coding region of the matK and rbcL genes, two intergenic spacers, 5’ trnK-matK and matK-3’ trnK, the ribosomal RNA 18S and 5S genes, and the nuclear ribosomal DNA ITS gene were sequenced to study phylogenetic relationships of four Paeonia species. In the matK coding region, most nucleotide variations pointed at the divergence between Paeonia suffruticosa (MO) and other three species, strongly supporting the phylogenetic evolution of section Paeonia and section Moutan in the Paeonia genus; the variable sites of Paeonia lactiflora CHA1 accession compared to CHA accession were all identical to Paeonia obovata SHAN accession, indicating that CHA1 might be a hybrid result of CHA and SHAN. Another chloroplast coding region, rbcL showed lower variation rate and less phylogenetic information than the matK region in all four Paeonia species investigated in this study, while the 5S rRNA gene and nrDNA ITS region showed higher variation rate.

  • May 15, 2016 Passing Peony and Iris Plants on from Generation to Generation Annette Meyer Heisdorffer Daviess County Extension Agent for Horticulture
    May 15, 2016 Passing Peony and Iris Plants on from Generation to Generation Annette Meyer Heisdorffer Daviess County Extension Agent for Horticulture After lunch on Mother’s Day, my mom and I surveyed her garden, especially the peonies. We both agreed that I needed to propagate her peonies and plant them in my garden. These are special, because I remember them growing in my grandmother’s garden. Peonies are commonly passed down from generation to generation. My goal is to someday share them with my twins. Our discussion included the irises, which are another heritage plant. Both plants are blooming beautifully in May and are spectacular in the garden. Information about these two plants will be provided in this article. Peony (Paeonia officinalis, Paeonia lactiflora, and hybrids) is a herbaceous perennial, which means at the end of the growing season it will die back to the ground. However, the plant returns year after year. Peonies grow best in full sun and well-drained soil. There are tree peonies (Paeonia suffruticosa) which have a woody stem, but those are not as common and require different growing conditions. The tree peony will not be discussed here. According to Dr. Rick Durham, Extension Specialist for Consumer Horticulture, peonies can be found in landscapes across Kentucky. Peonies have a long life span and are commonly grown in the garden. When planting the root, make sure it is not too deep. The eyes or bud should be just below the surface of the soil. If it is planted too deeply, the plants won't bloom.

Sue Hough and Sue Lander are both active in the Ranunculaceae group of the HPS. There is quite a strong common membership with our group; several of us attended both group meetings, which were on successive days, this year. The peonies were in the Ranunculaceae once (indeed, still are in one well-known catalogue) : to many of us peonies looK more liKe hellebores than aquilegias do. Sue Hough's article also promoted interest in the P. obovata group as the succeeding article shows. We also have the latest of Judy Templar's reports on peonies in the wild. At the other end of the peony spectrum, Itoh hybrids are becoming well Known, as many of us saw on the Peony Day and as we shall see at Claire Austin's nursery in 2016. Irene Tibbenham drew my attention to the promotion of a new race of "Patio Peonies" for growing in pots in small gardens; see https://www.rhs.org.uK/plants/plants-blogs/plants/november-2014/patio-peonies. It remains to be seen if these catch on. They are unliKely to usurp the place of Lacti5lora peonies, those most sumptuous of early summer 5lowers, which are the theme of our next Peony Day. ThanKs to Sandra Hartley for her account of this year’s peony day.

    CYTOGENETIC STUDIES IN PAEONIA I. THE COMPATIBILITY OF THE SPECIES AND THE APPEARANCE OF THE HYBRIDS A. P. SAUNDERS AND G. L. STEBBINS, JR. Hamilton College, Clinton, New York, and University oj California, Berkeley, California Received September 4, 1937 INTRODUCTION INCE 1916, the senior author has carried on an extensive series of S crossing experiments in the genus Paeonia, with the object both of ob- taining new horticultural forms and of securing evidence concerning the interrelationships of the species and the processes of evolution within the genus. Some accounts of the hybrids have already been published (SAUN- DERS 1928, 1933a, 193313). The junior author began cytological work on the species and hybrids in 1932, continuing that started by the late Dr. G. C. HICKS,whose work along with additional data obtained by the junior author has also been published (HICKSand STEBBINS1934). Since that time the cytological as well as the morphological study of the hybrids has progressed steadily, except that it was somewhat interrupted by the departure of the junior author for California in 1935. The following limitations prevent a cytogenetic study of this genus com- parable to that carried on in other genera, such as Crepis, Nicotiana, and Datura. Peony seeds are slow of germination, and the plant takes several years to mature; from the date of hybridization to the season of first blooms is usually a gap of six or seven years. This makes it difficult for one individual to raise many successive generations. An added difficulty is that most interspecific hybrids in Paeonia are completely sterile for at least two or three years after they first begin to bloom; older plants of al- most all the hybrids, when they have established themselves as strong clumps, set occasional seeds, usually not more than one or two to an entire plant.

Apart from their decorative value in landscape they also bring environmental benefits because they contribute to the improvement of soil stability while some species such as Iris pseudacorus was proven to have phytoremediation capacity. In order to achieve the highest possible result for the customer or public by using these species in green spaces, the following aspects must be taken into consideration: plant hardiness, location, landscape color scheme and plant associations. The aims of this study were to identify the potential use of Iris plants in green urban areas from Cluj County, and to establish suitable plant associations with other low-maintenance herbaceous flowering plants for easy landscaping.
