SNIJMAN2 1USDA-ARS-SHRS, National Germplasm Repository, 13601 Old Cutler Road, Miami, Florida 33158, USA; 2Compton Herbarium, South African National Biodiversity Institute, Kirstenbosch, Rhodes Drive, Newlands, Cape Town, South Africa 3Corresponding author ( [email protected]) ABSTRACT Results to date with various plastid genes confirmed the monophyly of the Amaryllidaceae s.s. as a whole, strongly supported the mostly African tribe Amaryllideae as sister to the rest of the family, and resolved geographically-based monophyletic groups, but failed to resolve the relationships among several basal lineages in the family (the African Haemantheae and Cyrtantheae, the Australasian Calostemmateae, and the American and Eurasian sister clades). We present analysis of plastid ndhF sequences that fully resolved the major clades of the family. The baccate-fruited Haemantheae and Calostemmateae are sister tribes, and the African endemic Cyrtantheae is sister to them both. This clade is sister to an American/Eurasian clade. We also present preliminary nuclear ribosomal ITS sequence analysis of the Eurasian clade. Lycorideae are basal in the group and begin a grade that continues with Hannonia, then Pancratium, then Lapiedra. The genera Galanthus, Narcissus, and Sternhergia are resolved as monophyletic with strong support. Leucojum is paraphyletic and recog­ nition of Acis for the mostly autumn-flowering Mediterranean species is supported. Recent phyloge­ netic analyses of various tribes and genera of the family are reviewed. Above the family level, Aga­ panthaceae, Alliaceae, and Amaryllidaceae form a well-supported monophyletic group, but exact res­ olution of the relationships among the three subclades varies depending on the sequence matrix uti­ lized. The Angiosperm Phylogeny Group II has advocated combining all three into a single family, Alliaceae. We discuss this decision, which has historical precedent, but recommend that Amaryllida­ ceae be conserved as the name for the family in such a treatment. Key words: Amaryllidaceae, Asparagales, cladistics, DNA, monocotyledons, phylogeny. INTRODUCTION (among them Calostemmateae) and 19 subtribes, many of Amaryllidaceae are one of the few families of the higher them monogeneric; Meerow and Snijman ( 1998) recognized Asparagales well defined by other than molecular characters, 13 tribes, with two subtribes only in one of them.

  • Summer Bulbs
    Garden Mastery Tips June 2008 from Clark County Master Gardeners Summer Bulbs Wasn't it easy to get that wonderful spring color? You dug a hole last fall and dropped in crocus, daffodil, hyacinth or tulip bulbs. Covered them up and went back inside to wait until spring. The hardest part was probably choosing which bulbs and colors to plant. Wouldn't it be nice to take care of your summer garden color the same way? Well, you can. There are summer bulbs, corms and rhizomes that need the same amount of care. You dig a hole, drop them in and voila!, in a few weeks, you have summer color. Again, the hardest part will be choosing what to plant. Here are some suggestions for you. Agapanthus – Agreeable Agapanthus, Love Flower Amaryllis Belladonna – What Do You Say to a Naked Lady? (Amaryllis belladonna) Calla Lilies – Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious "Lilies" Canna flowers are similar to Gladiolus, large clusters of flowers. But think steroids. These plants are big, brash and bold. Canna rhizomes should be planted in loose, fertile, well-drained soil. They don't have a top or bottom so just lay them in the ground and cover with about two inches of soil after all danger of hard frost has passed. For a really showy statement in your garden, plant a group. Again, the lazy gardener can mulch over the cannas and take a chance on their coming up the next year. A website full of information on Cannas can be found at Horn Canna Farm’s site. Croscosmia – Crocosmia Dahlias – Dahlia Success Eucomis – Eucomis Gladiolus is native to sub-Saharan Africa and contains about 260 species.

  • Outline of Angiosperm Phylogeny
    Outline of angiosperm phylogeny: orders, families, and representative genera with emphasis on Oregon native plants Priscilla Spears December 2013 The following listing gives an introduction to the phylogenetic classification of the flowering plants that has emerged in recent decades, and which is based on nucleic acid sequences as well as morphological and developmental data. This listing emphasizes temperate families of the Northern Hemisphere and is meant as an overview with examples of Oregon native plants. It includes many exotic genera that are grown in Oregon as ornamentals plus other plants of interest worldwide. The genera that are Oregon natives are printed in a blue font. Genera that are exotics are shown in black, however genera in blue may also contain non-native species. Names separated by a slash are alternatives or else the nomenclature is in flux. When several genera have the same common name, the names are separated by commas. The order of the family names is from the linear listing of families in the APG III report. For further information, see the references on the last page.

This means that seed is fresher and you can sow it earlier. Terms of Business: I can accept payment by either: • Cheque made out to "R Wallis" (n.b. Please do not fill in the amount but add the words “not to exceed £xx” ACROSS THE TOP); • PayPal, please include your email address with the order and wait for an invoice after I dispatch your order; • In cash (Sterling, Euro or US dollar are accepted, in this case I advise using registered mail). Please note that I can only accept orders placed before the end of August. Parcels will be dispatched at the beginning of September. If you are going to be away please let me know so that I can coordinate dispatch. I will not cash your cheque until your order is dispatched. If ordering by email, and following up by post, please ensure that you tick the box on the order form to avoid duplication.

  • Complete Chloroplast Genomes Shed Light on Phylogenetic
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Complete chloroplast genomes shed light on phylogenetic relationships, divergence time, and biogeography of Allioideae (Amaryllidaceae) Ju Namgung1,4, Hoang Dang Khoa Do1,2,4, Changkyun Kim1, Hyeok Jae Choi3 & Joo‑Hwan Kim1* Allioideae includes economically important bulb crops such as garlic, onion, leeks, and some ornamental plants in Amaryllidaceae. Here, we reported the complete chloroplast genome (cpDNA) sequences of 17 species of Allioideae, fve of Amaryllidoideae, and one of Agapanthoideae. These cpDNA sequences represent 80 protein‑coding, 30 tRNA, and four rRNA genes, and range from 151,808 to 159,998 bp in length. Loss and pseudogenization of multiple genes (i.e., rps2, infA, and rpl22) appear to have occurred multiple times during the evolution of Alloideae. Additionally, eight mutation hotspots, including rps15-ycf1, rps16-trnQ-UUG, petG-trnW-CCA , psbA upstream, rpl32- trnL-UAG , ycf1, rpl22, matK, and ndhF, were identifed in the studied Allium species. Additionally, we present the frst phylogenomic analysis among the four tribes of Allioideae based on 74 cpDNA coding regions of 21 species of Allioideae, fve species of Amaryllidoideae, one species of Agapanthoideae, and fve species representing selected members of Asparagales. Our molecular phylogenomic results strongly support the monophyly of Allioideae, which is sister to Amaryllioideae. Within Allioideae, Tulbaghieae was sister to Gilliesieae‑Leucocoryneae whereas Allieae was sister to the clade of Tulbaghieae‑ Gilliesieae‑Leucocoryneae. Molecular dating analyses revealed the crown age of Allioideae in the Eocene (40.1 mya) followed by diferentiation of Allieae in the early Miocene (21.3 mya). The split of Gilliesieae from Leucocoryneae was estimated at 16.5 mya.
