We found 46 of the 358 described cycad species had at least one element reported to date. The only genus that was missing from the data was Microcycas. Many of the species reports contained concentrations of one to several macronutrients and no other elements. The cycad leaves contained greater nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations than the reported means for plants throughout the world. Magnesium was identified as the macronutrient that has been least studied.

  • Plant Life of Western Australia
    INTRODUCTION The characteristic features of the vegetation of Australia I. General Physiography At present the animals and plants of Australia are isolated from the rest of the world, except by way of the Torres Straits to New Guinea and southeast Asia. Even here adverse climatic conditions restrict or make it impossible for migration. Over a long period this isolation has meant that even what was common to the floras of the southern Asiatic Archipelago and Australia has become restricted to small areas. This resulted in an ever increasing divergence. As a consequence, Australia is a true island continent, with its own peculiar flora and fauna. As in southern Africa, Australia is largely an extensive plateau, although at a lower elevation. As in Africa too, the plateau increases gradually in height towards the east, culminating in a high ridge from which the land then drops steeply to a narrow coastal plain crossed by short rivers. On the west coast the plateau is only 00-00 m in height but there is usually an abrupt descent to the narrow coastal region. The plateau drops towards the center, and the major rivers flow into this depression. Fed from the high eastern margin of the plateau, these rivers run through low rainfall areas to the sea. While the tropical northern region is characterized by a wet summer and dry win- ter, the actual amount of rain is determined by additional factors. On the mountainous east coast the rainfall is high, while it diminishes with surprising rapidity towards the interior. Thus in New South Wales, the yearly rainfall at the edge of the plateau and the adjacent coast often reaches over 100 cm.

  • Morphology and Anatomy of Pollen Cones and Pollen in Podocarpus Gnidioides Carrière (Podocarpaceae, Coniferales)
    1 2 Bull. CCP 4 (1): 36-48 (6.2015) V.M. Dörken & H. Nimsch Morphology and anatomy of pollen cones and pollen in Podocarpus gnidioides Carrière (Podocarpaceae, Coniferales) Abstract Podocarpus gnidioides is one of the rarest Podocarpus species in the world, and can rarely be found in collections; fertile material especially is not readily available. Until now no studies about its reproductive structures do exist. By chance a 10-years-old individual cultivated as a potted plant in the living collection of the second author produced 2014 pollen cones for the first time. Pollen cones of Podocarpus gnidioides have been investigated with microtome technique and SEM. Despite the isolated systematic position of Podocarpus gnidioides among the other New Caledonian Podocarps, it shows no unique features in morphology and anatomy of its hyposporangiate pollen cones and pollen. Both the pollen cones and the pollen are quite small and belong to the smallest ones among recent Podocarpus-species. The majority of pollen cones are unbranched but also a few branched ones are found, with one or two lateral units each of them developed from different buds, so that the base of each lateral cone-axis is also surrounded by bud scales. This is a great difference to other coniferous taxa with branched pollen cones e.g. Cephalotaxus (Taxaceae), where the whole “inflorescence” is developed from a single bud. It could be shown, that the pollen presentation in the erect pollen cones of Podocarpus gnidioides is secondary. However, further investigations with more specimens collected in the wild will be necessary. Key words: Podocarpaceae, Podocarpus, morphology, pollen, cone 1 Introduction Podocarpus gnidioides is an evergreen New Caledonian shrub, reaching up to 2 m in height (DE LAUBENFELS 1972; FARJON 2010).

A low-maintenance plant has low fertilizer County for a list of recommended landscape plants requirements and few pest and disease problems. In suitable for south Florida. The resulting list includes addition, low-maintenance plants suitable for south over 350 low-maintenance plants. The following Florida must also be adapted to—or at least information is included for each species: common tolerate—our poor, alkaline, sand- or limestone-based name, scientific name, maximum size, growth rate soils.

An additional criterion for the plants on this list was that they are not listed as being invasive by the Criteria Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council (FLEPPC, 2001), or restricted by any federal, state, or local laws This section will describe the criteria by which (Burks, 2000). Miami-Dade County does have plants were selected. It is important to note, first, that restrictions for planting certain species within 500 even the most drought-tolerant plants require feet of native habitats they are known to invade watering during the establishment period.

  • Fluorescent Band Pattern of Chromosomes in Pseudolarix Amabilis, Pinaceae
    © 2015 The Japan Mendel Society Cytologia 80(2): 151–157 Fluorescent Band Pattern of Chromosomes in Pseudolarix amabilis, Pinaceae Masahiro Hizume* Faculty of Education, Ehime University, 3 Bunkyo-cho, Matsuyama, Ehime 790–8577, Japan Received October 27, 2014; accepted November 18, 2014 Summary Pseudolarix amabilis belongs to one of three monotypic genera in Pinaceae. This species had 2n=44 chromosomes in somatic cells and its karyotype was composed of four long submetacentric chromosomes and 40 short telocentric chromosomes that varied gradually in length, supporting previous reports by conventional staining. The chromosomes were stained sequentially with the fluorochromes, chromomycin A3 (CMA) and 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI). CMA- bands appeared on 12 chromosomes at near terminal region and proximal region. DAPI-bands appeared at centromeric terminal regions of all 40 telocentric chromosomes. The fluorescent-banded karyotype of this species was compared with those of other Pinaceae genera considering taxonomical treatment and molecular phylogenetic analyses reported. On the basis of the fluorescent-banded karyotype, the relationship between Pseudolarix amabilis and other Pinaceae genera was discussed. Key words Chromomycin, Chromosome, DAPI, Fluorescent banding, Pinaceae, Pseudolarix amabilis. In Pinaceae, 11 genera with about 220 species are distinguished and grow mostly in the Northern Hemisphere (Farjon 1990). Most genera are evergreen trees, and only Larix and Pseudolarix are deciduous. Pinus is the largest genus in species number, and Cathaya, Nothotsuga and Pseudolarix are monotypic genera. The taxonomy of Pinaceae with 11 genera is complicated, having some problems in species or variety level. Several higher taxonomic treatments were reported on the base of anatomy and morphology such as resin canal in the vascular cylinder, seed scale, position of mature cones, male strobili in clusters from a single bud, and molecular characters in base sequences of several DNA regions.
