  • Floral Morphology in : Relation. to Adaptation And
    / FLORAL MORPHOLOGY IN : RELATION. TO ADAPTATION AND TAXONOMY IN, THE CARYOPHYLLACEAE BY . KATHERINE L NOVOSEL Thesis presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Edinburgh 1982 5.. ABSTRACT The floral morphology of several species in the 3 subfamilies of the family Caryophyllaceae has been investigated from different aspects. The reproductive biology of the family has been examined to determine if style number and stigmatic area are in any way related to ovule/seed number, and it has been found that there is no positive relationship. The genera in the family have also been placed in groups according to the distribution of the stigmatic papillae and the degree of style fusion. Species in 4 genera, Spergula, Spergularia, Stellaria, Myosoton have been examined in greater detail but again few correlations could be found. De-styling experiments on 3 5-styled species in the subfamily Dianthoideae have shown that pollen tubes readily cross between 'carpels' in these species and that if only 3 styles remain the number of seeds formed is the saine.as in 5-styled ovaries. The vascular tissue of the ovary and the position of the trans- mitting tissue has been studied in species in the subfamilies Dianthoideae and Paronychioideae. This has revealed that the trans- mitting tissue is part of the septal tissue and confirmed the views of other authors that the ovary in this family has not evolved from the traditional 'carpel' but that the ovary is composed of a sterile part and a fertile part. The taxonomy of the subfamily Paronychioideae has been investi- gated.

Abstract: This study analyzed the flora, life form, and vegetation of the Nakdong River wetland. Vegetation analysis was performed on 37 plots using the phytosociological method of the Zürich- Montpellier School. PCA analysis was conducted by using the vegetation data (ground cover of class; 1~9) of 37 plots surveyed by phytosociological method. PCA (Principal Component Analysis) was used to statistically analyze the objectivity of the community classification and the character species. The traditional classification and mathematical statistic methods were used. A total of 82 taxa belonging to 28 families, 65 genera, 72 species, 2 subspecies, and 8 varieties were present in the vegetation of the survey area. The life form was analyzed to be the Th-R5-D4-e type.

  • A Taxonomic Backbone for the Global Synthesis of Species Diversity in the Angiosperm Order Caryophyllales
    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2015 A taxonomic backbone for the global synthesis of species diversity in the angiosperm order Caryophyllales Hernández-Ledesma, Patricia; Berendsohn, Walter G; Borsch, Thomas; Mering, Sabine Von; Akhani, Hossein; Arias, Salvador; Castañeda-Noa, Idelfonso; Eggli, Urs; Eriksson, Roger; Flores-Olvera, Hilda; Fuentes-Bazán, Susy; Kadereit, Gudrun; Klak, Cornelia; Korotkova, Nadja; Nyffeler, Reto; Ocampo, Gilberto; Ochoterena, Helga; Oxelman, Bengt; Rabeler, Richard K; Sanchez, Adriana; Schlumpberger, Boris O; Uotila, Pertti Abstract: The Caryophyllales constitute a major lineage of flowering plants with approximately 12500 species in 39 families. A taxonomic backbone at the genus level is provided that reflects the current state of knowledge and accepts 749 genera for the order. A detailed review of the literature of the past two decades shows that enormous progress has been made in understanding overall phylogenetic relationships in Caryophyllales. The process of re-circumscribing families in order to be monophyletic appears to be largely complete and has led to the recognition of eight new families (Anacampserotaceae, Kewaceae, Limeaceae, Lophiocarpaceae, Macarthuriaceae, Microteaceae, Montiaceae and Talinaceae), while the phylogenetic evaluation of generic concepts is still well underway. As a result of this, the number of genera has increased by more than ten percent in comparison to the last complete treatments in the Families and genera of vascular plants” series. A checklist with all currently accepted genus names in Caryophyllales, as well as nomenclatural references, type names and synonymy is presented. Notes indicate how extensively the respective genera have been studied in a phylogenetic context.

    Tennessee Natural Heritage Program Rare Species Observations For Tennessee Counties This document provides lists of rare species known to occur within each of Tennessee's counties. If you are viewing the list in its original digital format and you have an internet connection, you may click the scientific names to search the NatureServe Explorer Encyclopedia of Life for more detailed species information. The following lists were last updated in July 2009 and are based on rare species observations stored in the Tennessee Natural Heritage Biotics Database maintained by the TDEC Natural Heritage Program. For definitions of ranks and protective status, or for instructions on obtaining a site specific project review, please visit our website: http://state.tn.us/environment/na/data.shtml If you need assistance using the lists or interpreting data, feel free to contact us: Natural Heritage Program Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation 7th Floor L&C Annex 401 Church Street Nashville, Tennessee 37243 (615) 532-0431 The lists provided are intended for use as planning tools. Because many areas of the state have not been searched for rare species, the lists should not be used to determine the absence of rare species. The lists are best used in conjunction with field visits to identify the types of rare species habitat that may be present at a given location. For projects that are located near county boundaries or are in areas of the state that have been under-surveyed (particularly in western Tennessee), we recommend that you check rare species lists for adjacent counties or watersheds as well.

Aldasoro Received 13 July 2012; accepted 29 December 2014 Abstract PLANT SPECIES AND COMMUNITIES IN POYANG LAKE, THE LARGEST FRESHWATER LAKE IN CHINA.— Studying plant species richness and composition of a wetland is essential when estimating its ecological importance and ecosystem services, especially if a particular wetland is subjected to human disturbances. Poyang Lake, located in the middle reaches of Yangtze River (central China), constitutes the largest freshwater lake of the country. It harbours high biodiversity and provides important habitat for local wildlife. A dam that will maintain the water capacity in Poyang Lake is currently being planned. However, the local biodiversity and the likely effects of this dam on the biodiversity (especially on the endemic and rare plants) have not been thoroughly examined.

Sharples1 & Erin A. Tripp1,2 1 Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Colorado, Boulder, Colorado 80309, U.S.A. 2 Museum of Natural History, COLO Herbarium, University of Colorado, Boulder, Colorado 80309, U.S.A. Address for correspondence: Mathew T. Sharples, [email protected] DOI https://doi.org/10.1002/tax.12059 Abstract Whereas the eastern North American–eastern Asian floristic connection represents one of the most widely studied biogeo- graphical relationships in flowering plant evolution, connections between western North America and Asia have been comparatively rarely investigated, especially through genetic approaches. Stellaria irrigua is one of several plants that has been treated as an excep- tionally dramatic example of a disjunction between floristically similar, high alpine biotas of the southern Rocky Mountains and south-central Siberia. We here employ numerous new field collections and ddRADseq data to test the hypothesis that S. irrigua—a spe- cies that has been known for over 180 years—represents a long-distance disjunction between the southern Rocky Mountains and central Asia. Extensive fieldwork, review and perusal of herbarium materials, and phylogenomic analyses indicate that S. irrigua is broadly distributed across an amphi-Beringian arc extending from southern and central Asia, east through Beringia, and south throughout moun- tainous regions of western North America. Sampled Asian populations formed two clades, and North American individuals all formed a clade embedded within this broader Asian lineage.
