A species complex includes plants similar to M. gutttata, which are characterized by the protrusion of the ovary into the perigone tube. This feature was found in specimens recently collected in western Mexico. After a morphological analysis, we found that some of the plants differ from the other species in this complex. Hence, we describe a new species named M. occidentalis morphologically similar to M. planifolia but can be dis- tinguished from it by the oblong-ovoid corm, channeled leaves, which are papillate on both sides, perigone 1.8–2.5 cm long, funnel-shaped, yellowish and light purple striate, perigone tube 0.3–0.7 × 0.2–0.4 cm, filaments adnate to the perigone and arising 0.3–0.7 cm above the ovary apex, anthers 0.9–1.1 cm long, and style 2.1–3.5 cm long, exceeding the perigone tube by 1.8–3 cm at anthesis. Manfreda occidentalis also resembles M. chamelensis; however, phenologic asynchrony is a notable difference between them as well as the shape of the leaves and the length and shape of perigone tube and lobes. A distribution map, photographs, and a key to identify species of Manfreda which grow in western Mexico accompany the description. Resumen El género Manfreda (Asparagaceae) agrupa a 35 especies. Existe un complejo de especies que incluye plantas similares a M. guttata que se caracterizan por la protrusión del ovario en el interior del tubo del perigonio. Este carácter fue observado en algunos especímenes de Manfreda recientemente recolectados en el occidente de México. Después del análisis de estas plantas, notamos que no se asemejan a ninguna de las especies del complejo antes señalado. Por lo tanto, proponemos una especie nueva, M. occidentalis morfológicamente similar a M. planifolia, pero puede distinguirse de ella por su cormo ob- longo-ovado, hojas acanaladas y papilosas en ambas caras, perigonio de 1.8–2.5 cm de longitud, infundibuliforme, amarillo y púrpura estriado, tubo del perigonio de 0.3–0.7 × 0.2–0.4 cm, filamentos adnados al perigonio y surgiendo 0.3–0.7 cm por arriba del ápice del ovario, anteras de 0.9–1.1 cm de longitud, y estilo de 2.1–3.5 cm de largo, excediendo el tubo del perigo- nio por 1.8–3 cm en antesis. Manfreda occidentalis también se asemeja a M. chamelensis, sin embargo, existen diferencias entre ambas especies en la forma de las hojas y en la longitud y forma del tubo y lóbulos del perigonio. Además, existe una notable asincronía fenológica entre ambas. La descripción de la especie nueva es acompañada de un mapa de distribución geográfica, fotografías y una clave para la identificación de las especies de Manfreda que habitan el occidente de México.

The flowers are subtended by one bract and one or two bracteoles (Fig. 1; Table 1). However, two recently described species, M. paniculata Hernández-Sandoval et al. (2008: 170) and M. petskinil R.A.Orellana, L.Her. & Carnevali in Hernández-Sandoval et al. (2008: 173), develop paniculate inflorescences and flowers subtended by a single bracteole. Hernández-Sandoval et al. (2008) pointed out that these characters in the two species relate Manfreda to Agave Linnaeus (1753: 323). The natural geographic distribution of Manfreda extends from southeastern USA, throughout Mexico (except Baja California), and southwards into Honduras and El Salvador in Central America. All species, except M. fusca Ravenna (1987: 17), occur in Mexico. Western Mexico is one of the most species rich areas, with 13 species (Table 1, Fig. 2). Their habitats vary from moist to xeric and from cold to mild winters. The plants grow in open sun or partial to deep shade, often in oak-pine forest at an elevational range from sea level to 3,050 m. TABLE 1.

Pictured is Mangave ‘Pineapple Express.’ CACSS 1 of 23 January 2020 DYANA HESSON Photos and Text by Dyana Hesson Join Dyana on January 12, at 2 p.m., in Dorrance Hall at the Desert Botanical Garden for our monthly program. Botanical artist Dyana Hesson loves a good adventure. She was born and raised in the gold country of Northern California. As a kid, she was always happiest exploring outdoors and rarely settled down to read a book all the way through. Left: Dyana with saguaro blossoms. Right: Lion and the Lamb, Agave and Sego Lily, Sedona. When Dyana’s father gave her his old 35mm film camera in elementary school, her skinned knees and grass-stained clothes gave way to a quiet appreciation of aesthetic beauty. She was interested in the landscape but more than just scenic vistas. At close range, the hues and contours of flowers and plants caught her eye. Some of the first things she photographed were the succulents growing in her mother’s garden. A hard worker but a struggling student, Hesson found her gift of painting in an art class in college. She changed her major and studied art at Arizona State University where she developed her style of applying thin layers of oil paint with very little texture. After graduating with honors, Dyana combined her newly found skills with the work ethic of CACSS 2 of 23 January 2020 her childhood, and soon art collectors eagerly invested in her radiant paintings.

In older systems Agavaceae were paraphyletic due to overemphasis of ovary position or habit. Discovery of a unique bimodal karyotype in Agave and Yucca eventually led to a reexamination of concepts and relationships in all the lilioid monocots, which continues to the present day.

(ASPARAGACEAE) A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Horticulture By William David Ritchie Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh Bachelor of Science in Horticulture, 2010 December 2012 University of Arkansas ABSTRACT The genus Manfreda Salisb. of Asparagaceae is a genus of potential horticultural interest and is currently subject to breeding efforts at the University of Arkansas. A lack of taxonomic clarity however undermines the classification of potential inter - and intrageneric hybrids. The study aims to assess existing species delimitation within the genus Manfreda employing morphology while investigating the potential utility of Consortium for the Barcode of Life Plant (CBOL) DNA Barcodes for identification of specific taxa and an External Transcribed Spacer (ETS) - Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) DNA barcode for developed hybridized taxa.

Most studies showed that the genera Manfreda Salisbury (1866: 78), Polianthes Linnaeus (1753: 316) and Prochnyanthes Watson (1887: 457) are nested within the large genus Agave, thus rendering Agave as traditionally circumscribed (= Agave s.str.) paraphyletic. The sole study in which Manfreda, Polianthes and Prochnyanthes grouped separate from and not nested within Agave is the molecular AFLP study of Gil-Vega et al. (2007). To convert these phylogenetic results into classification, Thiede (2001) suggested a monophyletic re-circumscription of Agave: Manfreda, Polianthes and Prochnyanthes were included in Agave (= Agave s.l.) and together classified as Agave subg. Manfreda (Salisb.) Baker (1877: 807). However, in the molecular studies, the support values for the clades are partly very weak to moderate only, none of the studies is based on a broad sampling of taxa and loci, and the samples of Agave subg.
