Apocynaceae: Apocynoideae), a New Genus from Oaxaca, Mexico
NUMBER 5 WILLIAMS: THOREAUEA, NEW GENUS OF APOCYNACEAE 47 THOREAUEA (APOCYNACEAE: APOCYNOIDEAE), A NEW GENUS FROM OAXACA, MEXICO Justin K. Williams Department of Biological Sciences, Sam Houston State University, Huntsville, Texas 77341-2116 Abstract: Recent studies of Mexican Apocynaceae have uncovered a new species. The taxon is here viewed as generically distinct and accordingly the name Thoreauea paneroi J. K. Williams, gen. et sp. nov. is proposed. The species is from montane pine-oak cloud forests of the Santiago Juxtlahuaca area of northwestern Oaxaca, Mexico. Its relationship to Thenardia H.B.K. and other genera is discussed.

Recently, based on molecular data, classification of Apocynaceae has undergone considerable revisions. According to the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group III (APGIII, 2009), and the update of the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group APG (APGIV, 2016) the family Asclepiadaceae is now included in the Apocynaceae. The family, as currently recognized, includes some 1500 species divided in about 424 genera and five subfamilies: Apocynoideae, Rauvolfioideae, Asclepiadoideae, Periplocoideae, and Secamonoideae. In this research selected species from the previous families Asclepiadaceae and Apocynaceae were morphologically investigated in an attempt to distinguish morphological important characters supporting their new molecular classification. 40 morphological characters were treated as variables and analyzed for cluster of average linkage between groups using the statistical package SPSS 16.0.

ATOLL RESEARCH BULLETIN NO. 503 THE VASCULAR PLANTS OF MAJURO ATOLL, REPUBLIC OF THE MARSHALL ISLANDS BY NANCY VANDER VELDE ISSUED BY NATIONAL MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION WASHINGTON, D.C., U.S.A. AUGUST 2003 Uliga Figure 1. Majuro Atoll THE VASCULAR PLANTS OF MAJURO ATOLL, REPUBLIC OF THE MARSHALL ISLANDS ABSTRACT Majuro Atoll has been a center of activity for the Marshall Islands since 1944 and is now the major population center and port of entry for the country. Previous to the accompanying study, no thorough documentation has been made of the vascular plants of Majuro Atoll. There were only reports that were either part of much larger discussions on the entire Micronesian region or the Marshall Islands as a whole, and were of a very limited scope. Previous reports by Fosberg, Sachet & Oliver (1979, 1982, 1987) presented only 115 vascular plants on Majuro Atoll. In this study, 563 vascular plants have been recorded on Majuro. INTRODUCTION The accompanying report presents a complete flora of Majuro Atoll, which has never been done before. It includes a listing of all species, notation as to origin (i.e. indigenous, aboriginal introduction, recent introduction), as well as the original range of each. The major synonyms are also listed. For almost all, English common names are presented. Marshallese names are given, where these were found, and spelled according to the current spelling system, aside from limitations in diacritic markings. A brief notation of location is given for many of the species. The entire list of 563 plants is provided to give the people a means of gaining a better understanding of the nature of the plants of Majuro Atoll. -

THE NERIEAE (APOCYNACEAE-APOCYNOIDEAE) A. J. M. LEEUWENBERG1 ABSTRACT The genera of tribe Nerieae of Apocynaceae are surveyed here and the relationships of the tribe within the family are evaluated. Recent monographic work in the tribe enabled the author to update taxonomie approaches since Pichon (1950) made the last survey. Original observations on the pollen morphology ofth egener a by S.Nilsson ,Swedis h Natural History Museum, Stockholm, are appended to this paper. RÉSUMÉ L'auteur étudie lesgenre s de la tribu desNeriea e desApocynacée s et évalue lesrelation s del a tribu au sein de la famille. Un travail monographique récent sur la tribu a permit à l'auteur de mettre à jour lesapproche s taxonomiques depuis la dernière étude de Pichon (1950). Lesobservation s inédites par S. Nilsson du Muséum d'Histoire Naturelle Suédois à Stockholm sur la morphologie des pollens des genres sontjointe s à cet article. The Apocynaceae have long been divided into it to generic rank and in his arrangement includ two subfamilies, Plumerioideae and Apocynoi- ed Aganosma in the Echitinae.

McPhee Received: 12 August 2016; Accepted: 22 September 2016; Published: 30 September 2016 Abstract: Mandevilla is an ornamental crop with a bright future worldwide because of its high commercial acceptance and added value. However, as with most ornamental species, there are few molecular tools to support cultivar breeding and innovation. In this work, we report the development and analysis of 20 new Simple Sequence Repeat (SSR) markers in Mandevilla. Microsatellites were isolated from two enriched small-insert genomic libraries of Mandevilla × amabilis. The diversity parameters estimated after their amplification in a group of 11 commercial genotypes illustrate the effect of two opposite drifts: the high relatedness of cultivars belonging to the same commercial group and the high divergence of other cultivars, especially M. × amabilis. Based on their different band patterns, six genotypes were uniquely distinguished, and two groups of sport mutations remained undistinguishable. The amplification of the SSRs in three wild species suggested the existence of unexploited diversity available to be introgressed into the commercial pool. This is the first report of available microsatellites in Mandevilla. -

Summary Phenotypic intermediacy is an indicator of putative hybrid origin, and has provided the main Article clues to discovering hybrid plants in nature. Mandevilla pentlandiana and M. laxa (Apocynaceae) are sister species with clear differences in floral phenotype and associated pollinator guilds: diurnal Hymenoptera and nocturnal hawkmoths, respectively. The presence of individuals with intermediate phenotypes in a wild population raises questions about the roles of visual and olfactory signals (i.e. -
Climbing the Charts Vines and Other Climbers Get a Grip on More
Climbers MAY05: Climbing the charts Vines and other climbers get a grip on more gardeners By Tracy Ilene Miller Climbing plants and vines are still an expanding niche market. Gardeners are designing vertical elements in smaller spaces, and development of unusual varieties is just hitting its stride. Gardeners buy climbers to create flat, growing screens, to spruce up spring-blooming shrubs, to train up obelisks or posts for a focal point or even to train down as ground covers. A clematis, for instance, can be placed against a fence and take up little room, said Dave McCoy, co-owner with wife, Chris, of McCoy Family Nursery Inc. in North Plains, Ore., and Clematis produce a lot of flowers — something for which many gardeners yearn. The demand for spring-flowering plants, Clematis in particular, is always high, said McCoy, because customers tend to buy what they can see — blooming plants. He sometimes wishes it were different. “There are some really nice summer bloomers that haven’t really caught on because the foot traffic in the garden center has decreased by that time.” Two Clematis that customers always ask for by name are the old reliables C. ‘Jackmanii’ and C. ‘Nelly Moser.’ But clematis sales are burgeoning in new directions as breeders in Europe and other countries continue to push the envelope to produce large-flowered varieties with long- lasting blooms. C. ‘Barbara Harrington’ has been sold in England for more than three years but is new to the United States, said Darlene Wilmes, co-owner of Champoeg Horticulture in Aurora, Ore.
