Shorter Days Timely Gardening Tips by Kathleen Patterson, FYN Coordinator MARION COUNTY GOVERNMNT November 2013 Table of Contents: Shorter Days Timely Gardening Tips by Kathleen Patterson, FYN Coordinator Shorter Days What’s Bugging You? Two weeks ago we “fell back” and changed our clocks back by one hour as daylight savings time ended. For me this means getting up and driving to work just as the sun rises and driving Versatile Herbs home after the sun has set. This makes it rather difficult for me to get out and garden except Cooking with Herbs and Spices on the weekends. Are you ready for the cold of winter, the sight of your landscape all brown and faded? If not, then read on. Crazy for Clerodendrums Upcoming Events Yes we do live in Florida, but not in the tropics. In South Florida the residents may enjoy Published by Norma Samuel beautiful color all year round. Here we have to find plants that will give us color in the UF/IFAS Extension Marion County landscape and survive our cold winters. The easiest of these plants are the evergreens that never drop their leaves. Look for unusual color, texture, and leaf shape to create a colorful landscape. Two of my favorite evergreens are Mahonia bealeii and Mahonia fortuneii. They Timely Gardening Tips also produce small flowers and berries as an added bonus.

What’s Bugging You? by Linda Krausnick, Master Gardener Find out what local residents are calling in about. When do I plant bulb onions in North FL, and what are the best varieties? While onions can be grown from seed, sets, or transplants, transplants are considered the easier method over seeds and produce better bulbs than onion sets. Whatever the method used it’s important to look for short day hybrids that are well adapted to Florida’s winter growing season. Transplants can be put out any time between December and February. For suggested varieties, planting and growing tips see: http://santarosa.ifas.ufl.edu/documents/lg_onions.pdf. If you can’t find onion transplants locally try the internet.

It depends on the particular herb in question and Unless otherwise indicated, to how it will be used. pre -register, please call 352 -671-8400 or e-mail Here in Florida we have an over abundance of insects, both outside and inside our homes. [email protected] This is where the versatility of herbs can help, especially if you are trying to avoid harsh chemicals and poisons. During the summer months mosquitoes are a nuisance. Try keeping containers filled with the leaves of basil, pennyroyal, santolina, southernwood, scented geraniums (citronella), and wormwood. You can even rub the leaves on your skin to repel the little blood suckers. December Another problem insect is the ant. Leaves of pennyroyal and tansy will repel them in your home.

Page 4 Cooking With Herbs and Spices by Pat Greenfield, Master Gardener It’s that time of year when the temperatures have cooled and gardening is at a minimum. Our attention turns to the coming holidays, and we are filled with memories of the aromas of savory meats and veggie casseroles cooking and the smell of spicy goodies baking. This is an ideal time to use those herbs and spices you’ve been growing in your garden all summer. Cooking with herbs and spices not only enhances the natural taste and aroma of foods, but can add nutritional value as well. Depending on the particular herb or spice selected, all or only one part of the plant is used including root, stem, bark, leaf, flower, fruit or seed. Generally an herb comes from a green or herbaceous plant with soft stems, while a spice is from the root, bark or seed of a woody plant.

Although recent studies have resulted in C. subg. Cyclonema and C. sect. Konocalyx being removed to the resurrected genus Rotheca, and the unispecific genus Huxleya being sunk into Clerodendrum, it has been unclear whether Clerodendrum as currently circumscribed is monophyletic, particularly in relation to the American genera Aegiphila, Amasonia, and Tetraclea. This phylogenetic study employs four relatively fast-evolving chloroplast DNA re- gions, trnT-L, trnL-F, trnD-T, and trnS-fM, to clarify the generic boundaries of Clerodendrum and its relationship to allied genera. The results corroborate previous studies that there are three well-supported clades in the currently recognized Clerodendrum: an Asian clade, an African clade, and a Pantropical Coastal clade.

Different parameters like leaf attachment, petiole length, blade class, laminar shape, margin, apex and base, 20 and 30 vein categories, spacing and angle were studied. A dichotomous key of these species was constructed and detailed description based on the architectural characters for each species are provided. From the produced data no sufficient difference could be identifies to isolate Rotheca serrata and Volkameria inermis from Clerodendrum Linnaeus. Key words: Clerodendrum, Leaf architecture, Blade class, Vein category, Assam INTRODUCTION The genus Clerodendrum Linnaeus was placed under Verbenaceae in most of the angiosperm classifications (Bentham & Hooker 1862–1883; Cronquist 1981). But, in recent classifications, based mostly on molecular data, has re-classified the genus as a member of Lamiaceae (Chase & Reveal 2009; Haston et al. 2009). The genus was established in 1753 by Linnaeus based on the type species Clerodendrum infortunatum Linnaeus from India (Shrivastava & Patel 2007).

Large School of Environmental & Animal Sciences, Unitec, Auckland 1025, New Zealand [email protected] ABSTRACT. David Mabberley’s distinguished and productive academic and administrative positions, roles, honours, books and other publications are given. Keywords. Awards, Cambridge, eponymy, Kew, Leiden, Oxford, Plant-book, Seattle, Sydney, Wadham College The flow of books David Mabberley’s first book was a volume of papers dedicated to E.J.H. Corner on his 70th birthday, which he edited jointly with the late Chang Kiaw Lan (1927–2003), also one of Corner’s students at Cambridge. There followed, in 1981, a volume of reprinted essays by Arthur Harry Church, who had inspired Corner from early on, and, two years later, the first edition of the tertiary level text-bookTropical rain forest ecology. Two more years elapsed before the highly acclaimed Jupiter botanicus, a biography of Robert Brown, marking the first of David’s substantial contributions to the history of botanical science. In 1987, came the first edition of a book for which he is now, of course, famous world-wide: The Plant-book — the 706 page dictionary of vascular plants. Data and cross references for this dictionary were originally kept on cards and the manuscript was typed, as Anne Sing recalls in this volume. It is noteworthy that at this point, David had not yet turned forty. The Plant-book (eventually to become Mabberley’s plant-book in 2008, and now in its fourth edition) has a reappearing role in David’s output, where interludes between editions have seen the appearance of volumes such as: An exquisite eye: The Australian flora and fauna drawings 1801–1820 of Ferdinand Bauer (with Jo Anne Pomfrett, and Peter Watts); The Flora Graeca story.

With the advancement of biotechnology, biochemical markers and DNA molecular markers have become the primary tools used in the differentiation of individuals, because these markers are not influenced by the environment, as it occurs with morphological traits. Consequently, these new techniques provide faster and more precise results. The isoenzymes and the DNA molecular markers RFLP, RAPD, AFLP, and SSR stand out among the biochemical and molecular markers. Each molecular marker presents advantages and limitations, which increases the applicability to different species and laboratory conditions, presenting more reliable results when used in association. Given the increase in the number of works related to bioactive plant species, this review seeks to present
