  • Lamiales – Synoptical Classification Vers
    Lamiales – Synoptical classification vers. 2.6.2 (in prog.) Updated: 12 April, 2016 A Synoptical Classification of the Lamiales Version 2.6.2 (This is a working document) Compiled by Richard Olmstead With the help of: D. Albach, P. Beardsley, D. Bedigian, B. Bremer, P. Cantino, J. Chau, J. L. Clark, B. Drew, P. Garnock- Jones, S. Grose (Heydler), R. Harley, H.-D. Ihlenfeldt, B. Li, L. Lohmann, S. Mathews, L. McDade, K. Müller, E. Norman, N. O’Leary, B. Oxelman, J. Reveal, R. Scotland, J. Smith, D. Tank, E. Tripp, S. Wagstaff, E. Wallander, A. Weber, A. Wolfe, A. Wortley, N. Young, M. Zjhra, and many others [estimated 25 families, 1041 genera, and ca. 21,878 species in Lamiales] The goal of this project is to produce a working infraordinal classification of the Lamiales to genus with information on distribution and species richness. All recognized taxa will be clades; adherence to Linnaean ranks is optional. Synonymy is very incomplete (comprehensive synonymy is not a goal of the project, but could be incorporated). Although I anticipate producing a publishable version of this classification at a future date, my near- term goal is to produce a web-accessible version, which will be available to the public and which will be updated regularly through input from systematists familiar with taxa within the Lamiales. For further information on the project and to provide information for future versions, please contact R. Olmstead via email at [email protected], or by regular mail at: Department of Biology, Box 355325, University of Washington, Seattle WA 98195, USA.

  • A Phylogenetic Study of the Tribe Antirrhineae: Genome Duplications and Long-Distance Dispersals from the Old World to the New World 1
    RESEARCH ARTICLE AMERICAN JOURNAL OF BOTANY A phylogenetic study of the tribe Antirrhineae: Genome duplications and long-distance dispersals from the Old World to the New World 1 Ezgi Ogutcen2 and Jana C. Vamosi PREMISE OF THE STUDY: Antirrhineae is a large tribe within Plantaginaceae. Mostly concentrated in the Mediterranean Basin, the tribe members are present both in the Old World and the New World. Current Antirrhineae phylogenies have diff erent views on taxonomic relationships, and they lack homogeneity in terms of geographic distribution and ploidy levels. This study aims to investigate the changes in the chromosome numbers along with dispersal routes as defi nitive characters identifying clades. METHODS: With the use of multiple DNA regions and taxon sampling enriched with de novo sequences, we provide an extensive phylogeny for Antir- rhineae. The reconstructed phylogeny was then used to investigate changes in ploidy levels and dispersal patterns in the tribe using ChromEvol and RASP, respectively. KEY RESULTS: Antirrhineae is a monophyletic group with six highly supported clades. ChromEvol analysis suggests the ancestral haploid chromosome number for the tribe is six, and that the tribe has experienced several duplications and gain events. The Mediterranean Basin was estimated to be the origin for the tribe with four long-distance dispersals from the Old World to the New World, three of which were associated with genome duplications. CONCLUSIONS: On an updated Antirrhineae phylogeny, we showed that the three out of four dispersals from the Old World to the New World were coupled with changes in ploidy levels. The observed patterns suggest that increases in ploidy levels may facilitate dispersing into new environments.

  • Flowering Vines for Florida1 Sydney Park Brown and Gary W
    CIRCULAR 860 Flowering Vines for Florida1 Sydney Park Brown and Gary W. Knox2 Many flowering vines thrive in Florida’s mild climate. By carefully choosing among this diverse and wonderful group of plants, you can have a vine blooming in your landscape almost every month of the year. Vines can function in the landscape in many ways. When grown on arbors, they provide lovely “doorways” to our homes or provide transition points from one area of the landscape to another (Figure 1). Unattractive trees, posts, and poles can be transformed using vines to alter their form, texture, and color (Figure 2).Vines can be used to soften and add interest to fences, walls, and other hard spaces (Figures 3 and 4). Figure 2. Trumpet honeysuckle (Lonicera sempervirens). Credits: Gary Knox, UF/IFAS A deciduous vine grown over a patio provides a cool retreat in summer and a sunny outdoor living area in winter (Figure 5). Muscadine and bunch grapes are deciduous vines that fulfill that role and produce abundant fruit. For more information on selecting and growing grapes in Florida, go to http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/ag208 or contact your local UF/IFAS Extension office for a copy. Figure 1.

  • Lianas and Climbing Plants of the Neotropics: Plantaginaceae
    GUIDE TO THE GENERA OF LIANAS AND CLIMBING PLANTS IN THE NEOTROPICS PLANTAGINACEAE By Mark T. Strong (Jan 2021) A widely distributed family of primarily herbs, subshrubs or shrubs with about 100 genera and ca. 1,900 species worldwide. In the Neotropics, they are represented by about 45 genera and ca. 400 species. Five genera and 14 species are treated below as climbing plants. These occur in a diversity of habitats from desert scrub to montane cloud forests. Diagnostics: In vegetative condition, climbing Plantaginaceae have stems that are quadrangular or terete; leaves are opposite, alternate or sometimes verticillate, glabrous or glandular- pubescent, simple, and stipules are absent. In the order Lamiales, the quadrangular stems and simple opposite leaves of some Plantaginaceae Russelia syringifolia Schltdl. & Cham., photo by J. might be confused with Acanthaceae, Amith Gesneriaceae, Lamiaceae and Verbenaceae. Acanthaceae generally have ovaries with hook-like placental tissue and capsules with explosive dehiscence while in Gesneriaceae, ovaries are unilocular with parietal placentation. Lamiaceae and Verbenaceae have 2-ovulate ovaries and the fruit is a 4-parted schizocarp or dry indehiscent drupe. GENERAL CHARACTERS 1. STEMS. Quadrangular (sometimes winged) or terete in cross section, commonly solid, but hollow in some species of Russelia (e.g. R. campechiana Standl.; fig. 1a), xylem with deep phloem wedges in species of Russelia (e.g., R. contrerasii B.L. Turner; fig. 1b). Vessels narrow and commonly radially disposed (Metcalfe & Chalk, 1957). No visible exudates reported for the group. 2. PUBESCENCE. Glabrous or glandular-pubescent. 3. LEAVES. Alternate, opposite, verticillate or opposite proximally and alternate distally, the blades deltoid to cordiform, hastate or sagittate at base with palmate venation, or sometimes linear to lanceolate or ovate-lanceolate with pinnate venation, entire or with dentate margins, glabrous or glandular-pubescent; stipules absent.

  • Rare Plant Register
    1 BSBI RARE PLANT REGISTER Berkshire & South Oxfordshire V.C. 22 MICHAEL J. CRAWLEY FRS UPDATED APRIL 2005 2 Symbols and conventions The Latin binomial (from Stace, 1997) appears on the left of the first line in bold, followed by the authority in Roman font and the English Name in italics. Names on subsequent lines in Roman font are synonyms (including names that appear in Druce’s (1897) or Bowen’s (1964) Flora of Berkshire that are different from the name of the same species in Stace). At the right hand side of the first line is a set of symbols showing - status (if non-native) - growth form - flowering time - trend in abundance (if any) The status is one of three categories: if the plant arrived in Britain after the last ice age without the direct help of humans it is defined as a native, and there is no symbol in this position. If the archaeological or documentary evidence indicates that a plant was brought to Berkshire intentionally of unintentionally by people, then that species is an alien. The alien species are in two categories ● neophytes ○ archaeophytes Neophytes are aliens that were introduced by people in recent times (post-1500 by convention) and for which we typically have precise dates for their first British and first Berkshire records. Neophytes may be naturalized (forming self-replacing populations) or casual (relying on repeated introduction). Archaeophytes are naturalized aliens that were carried about by people in pre-historic times, either intentionally for their utility, or unintentionally as contaminants of crop seeds. Archaeophytes were typically classified as natives in older floras.

We make every effort to keep this list current and accurate before posting it online about April 15 of the current year. Before making the trip to Klein’s, it’s a good idea to give us a call to make sure that we actually have the sought after item in stock. Sometimes we don’t receive ordered items or sometimes items are substituted by our vendors at their discretion. Other times we experience a crop failure for whatever reason. And oftentimes we simply run out of product as the season progresses. In addition, pot or pack sizes are often changed at the last minute. Telephone: 608/244-5661 (or toll-free 888/244-5661) or email us at www.info@kleinsfloral.com. We’re sorry for any inconvenience. ACALYPHA PENDULA/HISPIDA (Chenille Plant): Bright red flowers are borne in long, pendent, tassel-like spikes. These tropical plants are best grown in light open shade with good air circulation. Keep moist. Allowing to dry too often will cause a rapid decline. Almost always grown in hanging baskets or containers. ‘Firetail’--Graceful, fuzzy, fiery-red cattail-like flowers appear at the tips of dark green foliage. Great, heat-loving plant. (5” pot and/or 10” hanging baskets) ACIDANTHERA, Gladiolus callianthus (Peacock Orchid): Cormous plant with linear leaves. In summer and in autumn, bears loose spikes of up to 10 hooded, funnel- shaped, strongly scented, pure white flowers, 2” across, each with a prominent purple- red mark in the throat.
