Phylogeny and Phylogenetic Taxonomy of Dipsacales, with Special Reference to Sinadoxa and Tetradoxa (Adoxaceae)
PHYLOGENY AND PHYLOGENETIC TAXONOMY OF DIPSACALES, WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO SINADOXA AND TETRADOXA (ADOXACEAE) MICHAEL J. DONOGHUE,1 TORSTEN ERIKSSON,2 PATRICK A. REEVES,3 AND RICHARD G. OLMSTEAD 3 Abstract. To further clarify phylogenetic relationships within Dipsacales,we analyzed new and previously pub- lished rbcL sequences, alone and in combination with morphological data. We also examined relationships within Adoxaceae using rbcL and nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences. We conclude from these analyses that Dipsacales comprise two major lineages:Adoxaceae and Caprifoliaceae (sensu Judd et al.,1994), which both contain elements of traditional Caprifoliaceae.Within Adoxaceae, the following relation- ships are strongly supported: (Viburnum (Sambucus (Sinadoxa (Tetradoxa, Adoxa)))). Combined analyses of C ap ri foliaceae yield the fo l l ow i n g : ( C ap ri folieae (Diervilleae (Linnaeeae (Morinaceae (Dipsacaceae (Triplostegia,Valerianaceae)))))). On the basis of these results we provide phylogenetic definitions for the names of several major clades. Within Adoxaceae, Adoxina refers to the clade including Sinadoxa, Tetradoxa, and Adoxa.This lineage is marked by herbaceous habit, reduction in the number of perianth parts,nectaries of mul- ticellular hairs on the perianth,and bifid stamens. The clade including Morinaceae,Valerianaceae, Triplostegia, and Dipsacaceae is here named Valerina. Probable synapomorphies include herbaceousness,presence of an epi- calyx (lost or modified in Valerianaceae), reduced endosperm,and distinctive chemistry, including production of monoterpenoids. The clade containing Valerina plus Linnaeeae we name Linnina. This lineage is distinguished by reduction to four (or fewer) stamens, by abortion of two of the three carpels,and possibly by supernumerary inflorescences bracts. Keywords: Adoxaceae, Caprifoliaceae, Dipsacales, ITS, morphological characters, phylogeny, phylogenetic taxonomy, phylogenetic nomenclature, rbcL, Sinadoxa, Tetradoxa.

POINDEXTER I.W. Carpenter, Jr. Herbarium Appalachian State University, Biology Department Boone, North Carolina 28608 [email protected] ABSTRACT The predominance of Lonicera maackii (Rupr.) Herder (Amur Honeysuckle) in central Kentucky has made it a significant invasive for continued community interaction studies. To better understand the dynamics of vegetation succession with respect to this species and overall species richness, quantitative floristics of two macroplots were made at the summit (312 m) of Dead Horse Knob (Rucker’s Knob) near Berea, in Madison County, east-central Kentucky. An old abandoned cemetery was cleared of L. maackii and a macroplot (20 x 12 m) served as a test plot, while a second macroplot was placed within a dense thicket of L. maackii to serve as a reference plot. Thirty quadrats (1 x 1 m) were randomly placed within each macroplot as a means to determine species frequency. A full floristic survey was then conducted of each macroplot. Results from frequency data suggest that native annual and perennial species will quickly recolonize an area after removal of Amur Honeysuckle and become the most important components of the site.

Flora of South Australia 5Th Edition | Edited by Jürgen Kellermann
Flora of South Australia 5th Edition | Edited by Jürgen Kellermann KEY TO FAMILIES1 J.P. Jessop2 The sequence of families used in this Flora follows closely the one adopted by the Australian Plant Census (www.anbg.gov. au/chah/apc), which in turn is based on that of the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (APG III 2009) and Mabberley’s Plant Book (Mabberley 2008). It differs from previous editions of the Flora, which were mainly based on the classification system of Engler & Gilg (1919). A list of all families recognised in this Flora is printed in the inside cover pages with families already published highlighted in bold. The up-take of this new system by the State Herbarium of South Australia is still in progress and the S.A. Census database (www.flora.sa.gov.au/census.shtml) still uses the old classification of families. The Australian Plant Census web-site presents comparison tables of the old and new systems on family and genus level. A good overview of all families can be found in Heywood et al. (2007) and Stevens (2001–), although these authors accept a slightly different family classification. A number of names with which people using this key may be familiar but are not employed in the system used in this work have been included for convenience and are enclosed on quotation marks. 1. Plants reproducing by spores and not producing flowers (“Ferns and lycopods”) 2. Aerial shoots either dichotomously branched, with scale leaves and 3-lobed sporophores or plants with fronds consisting of a simple or divided sterile blade and a simple or branched spikelike sporophore ..................................................................................

Relationships within Caprifolieae, however, remain quite uncertain, and the monophyly of Lonicera, the most species-rich of the traditional genera, and its subdivisions, need to be evaluated. In this study we used sequences of the ITS region of nuclear ribosomal DNA and five chloroplast non-coding regions (rpoB–trnC spacer, atpB–rbcL spacer, trnS–trnG spacer, petN–psbM spacer, and psbM–trnD spacer) to address these problems. Our results indicate that Heptacodium is sister to Caprifolieae, Triosteum is sister to the remaining genera within the tribe, and Leycesteria and Symphoricarpos form a clade that is sister to a monophyletic Lonicera. Within Lonicera, the major split is between subgenus Caprifolium and subgenus Lonicera. Within subgenus Lonicera, sections Coeloxylosteum, Isoxylosteum, and Nintooa are nested within the paraphyletic section Isika. Section Nintooa may also be non-monophyletic.

The Effects of Invasive Bush Honeysuckle (Lonicera
Courtney E. McCusker Grant #08-021W Response of avian communities to invasive bush honeysuckle (Lonicera spp.) Grant Agreement #08-021W Courtney E. McCusker University of Illinois 202 Shelford Vivarium 606 E. Healey St. (217) 377-6897 [email protected] Time Frame of Report: May 2006-February 2008 PROJECT OBJECTIVES The overall objective of this study is to assess the impact of invasive Lonicera spp. on avian communities. To reach this goal, I will address three key issues: 1) Comparison of bird communities at sites with invasive Lonicera spp. versus bird communities at sites with native flora in both the summer and winter. I will compare species richness and density of birds (individually and combined) between the two types of sites. 2) Comparison of summer versus winter bird communities within a site. I will determine whether bird species richness and density fluctuate with season and compare the changes in the communities over time for invaded and native sites. 3) The effects of colder temperatures on wintering bird communities. In addition to comparing invaded and native sites, I will further assess whether temperature has an effect on the differences or similarities of the communities in the two types of sites. Also, I will determine if there is a higher rate of removal for invasive Lonicera spp. fruits during colder periods and relate this to any changes in the density of birds. 1 Courtney E. McCusker Grant #08-021W COMPLETED PROJECT DESCRIPTION Invasive bush honeysuckle, Lonicera spp., is often considered undesirable, however it can create a dense understory for nests in the summer and provide a source of food for birds in winter.

Seasonal Changes in the Fruits of Viburnum Opulus, a Fleshy-Fruited Temperate- Zone Shrub
2291 Seasonalchanges in the fruits of Viburnum opulus, a fleshy-fruited temperate-zoneshrub EUSE JONES AND NATHANIEL T. WHEELWRIGHT! Section of Ecology and Systematics,Cornell University, Ithaca, NY, U.S.A. 14853 Received January6, 1987 JONES,E., and WHEELWRIGHT,N. T. 1987. Seasonal changes in the fruits of Viburnum opulus, a fleshy-fruited temperate- zone shrub. Can. J. Bot. 65: 2291-2296. Certain temperate-zone plant species retain their fleshy fruits through the fall and winter. The production of "persistent fruits" has been intetpreted as an adaptive reproductive strategy because plants can offer "low-investment" fruits when competition with other plants for seed dispersers is low. In theory fruits are defended chemically against fall pathogens, and palatability improves seasonally with cold-induced chemical changes. We studied the ecology of persistent fruits in Viburnum opulus (Caprifoliaceae), a fleshy-fruited temperate-zone shrub. Viburnum opulus fruits remained uneaten through the fall until most were removed, apparently by avian seed predators. Some shrubs retained fruits through May. Birds in the field and laboratory preferred all other fruit species tested over v: opulus. Palatability of v: opulus fruits to captive American Robins declined rather than improved throughout the winter, contrary to expectation. Tannins and pH remained constant, while sucrose concentration doubled over a 6-month period. Seeds regurgitated by robins in the spring genI1inated at similar rates as seeds processed the previous fall. Although JI: opulus showed some of the theoretically expected adaptations for delayed seed dispersal (chemical defense, genI1ination following spring dispersal), it did not show others (seasonal improvement in palat- ability). Plants with persistent fruits may depend on years of severe weather and food scarcity for seed dispersal.

Common Reed Grass
Morrow's honeysuckle Lonicera morrowii A. Gray and Amur honeysuckle Lonicera maackii (Rupr.) Maxim. Honeysuckle Family (Caprifoliaceae) DESCRIPTION These non-native honeysuckles are both upright, multistemmed, deciduous shrubs with a dense twiggy growth habit. In addition to the two species described here, other non-native bush honeysuckles including Tatarian honeysuckle (L. tatarica), pretty honeysuckle (L. x bella), fragrant honeysuckle (L. fragrantissima), and honeysuckle (L. standishii) are also naturalized in Pennsylvania. Height - These shrubs can reach a height of 8–15 feet and a spread of 8–10 feet. Stem - branches are stiff with a light gray-brown Morrow's honeysuckle in flower bark, the pith is white or tan with a hollow center. Leaves - The honeysuckles have opposite leaves with smooth (entire) margins. Morrow's honeysuckle has elliptical leaves that are 1–2 inches long and softly hairy and slightly gray- green. The leaves of Amur honeysuckle are ovate, about 2–3 inches long with a long tapering tip; they are dark green in color. Both species leaf out very early in the spring, before most native plants, and hold their leaves far into the fall. Flowers - Both species have ¾–1 inch-long white, tubular flowers with flaring petals that turn yellow as they age. The flowers, which are produced in pairs on a single stalk, bloom in May. Pretty honeysuckle (Lonicera x bella), which is otherwise very similar to Morrow's honeysuckle, has pink flowers. Fruit and seed - All the bush honeysuckles produce small juicy red or orange berries that are eaten by many species of birds and small mammals.

Caprifoliaceae) Introduced to Ukraine
Plant Introduction, 87/88, 22–31 (2020) https://doi.org/10.46341/PI2020030 UDC 581.461/582.973 RESEARCH ARTICLE Morphological features of the flower of Symphoricarpos species (Caprifoliaceae) introduced to Ukraine Olena Bulakh M.G. Kholodny Institute of Botany, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Tereschenkivska str. 2, 01004 Kyiv, Ukraine; [email protected] Received: 02.10.2020 | Accepted: 12.12.2020 | Published: 30.12.2020 Abstract With the help of light and scanning electron microscopy, the features of inflorescences and flowers of six species of the genus Symphoricarpos introduced to Ukraine were studied, and the peculiarities of their structure were specified. Morphological peculiarities of the calyx, corolla, stamens, and style, differentiating S. albus (including S. racemosus and S. rivularis), S. hesperius, S. mollis, S. occidentalis, S. orbiculatus, and S. oreophilus var. utahensis, were determined. The obtained data are important for identification of the species and taxonomy of the genus Symphoricarpos. In particular, the results of our study showed that flowers of S. racemosus, S. rivularis, and S. albus share common features and this supports their synonymy under the name S. albus. Other five Symphoricarpos species showed differences in their floral morphology. Among the important features for identification of Symphoricarpos species introduced to Ukraine, which were not mentioned in available literature sources we can list: the number of flowers in the inflorescence, features of pedicels, shape and features of bracts pubescence, shape of calyx teeth and their pubescence, presence or absence of corolla tube convexity, presence of ovoid projection of anther’s connective, and size of all the floral elements.
