Nomenclatural Types of Iberian Irises (Iris and Related Genera, Iridaceae) Flora Montiberica 53: 49-62 (18-XII-2012). ISSN: 1988-799X NOMENCLATURAL TYPES OF IBERIAN IRISES (IRIS AND RELATED GENERA, IRIDACEAE) Manuel B. CRESPO VILLALBA CIBIO, Instituto de la Biodiversidad. Universidad de Alicante. P.O. Box 99. E-03080 Alicante. E-mail: [email protected] SUMMARY: Nomenclatural types are reported for seventeen taxa belonging to Iris and six related genera, which are accepted in the forthcoming treatment of Iridaceae for Flora iberica. Among them, 13 lectotypes and one neotype are designated for the first time, and three previous typifications are briefly commented. Keywords: Iris, Chamaeiris, Juno, Limniris, Xiphion, Hermodactylus, Gynandriris, nomenclature, typi- fication, Iberian Peninsula. RESUMEN: Tipos nomenclaturales de lirios ibéricos (Iris y géneros relaciona- dos, Iridaceaae). Se presentan los tipos nomenclaturales de 17 táxones pertenecientes a Iris y otros seis géneros relacionados, que se aceptan en el tratamiento de las Iridace- ae para Flora iberica. De ellos, se designan por primera vez 13 lectótipos y un neótipo, y se comentan brevemente tres tipificaciones previas.

Agency Contact: Plant Epidemiology and Risk Analysis Laboratory Center for Plant Health Science and Technology Plant Protection and Quarantine Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service United States Department of Agriculture 1730 Varsity Drive, Suite 300 Raleigh, NC 27606 Weed Risk Assessment for Iris pseudacorus Introduction Plant Protection and Quarantine (PPQ) regulates noxious weeds under the authority of the Plant Protection Act (7 U.S.C. § 7701-7786, 2000) and the Federal Seed Act (7 U.S.C. § 1581-1610, 1939). A noxious weed is defined as “any plant or plant product that can directly or indirectly injure or cause damage to crops (including nursery stock or plant products), livestock, poultry, or other interests of agriculture, irrigation, navigation, the natural resources of the United States, the public health, or the environment” (7 U.S.C. § 7701-7786, 2000). We use weed risk assessment (WRA)— specifically, the PPQ WRA model (Koop et al., 2012)—to evaluate the risk potential of plants, including those newly detected in the United States, those proposed for import, and those emerging as weeds elsewhere in the world. Because the PPQ WRA model is geographically and climatically neutral, it can be used to evaluate the baseline invasive/weed potential of any plant species for the entire United States or for any area within it. As part of this analysis, we use a stochastic simulation to evaluate how much the uncertainty associated with the analysis affects the model outcomes.

  • Starch Research Page URL: Last Updated: 14-April-2004 / Du Ethnobotanical Leaflets Starch Research Page
    Journal Contents Back Issues Book Reviews Research Notes Careers Meetings Botany Resources Why study starch? The long and short of it is that size, shape, and optical and chemical properties of starch are useful in the determination of taxonomic species. Starch characteristics can be used in place of, or in combination with other features of the plant to facilitate the identification of macro archaeological plant remains, or even small pieces of modern plant materials which for one reason or the other are lacking the traditional "key" taxonomic characters. As in the case of pollen and phytolith analyses, the study of fossil starch grains can help the ethnobotanist to better understand the diet of ancient human cultures. The taxonomic usefulness of starch was long ago noted by Edward Tyson Reichert (1913), whose monumental work on "The Differentiation and Specificity of Starches in Relation to Genera, Species, Etc." has today become a classic in its field. He writes: "It must have been recognized by Leeuwenhoek, and by many of the investigators of the earliest part of the last century, that starches from different sources are not morphologically identical, but if so it does not seem to have attracted any particular attention until the investigations of Fritzsche (Ann. d. Physik. u. Chernie, 1834, xxxii, 129). Fritzsche described the starches obtained from a variety of plants. He noted not only that the starches from different sources were different, but also that often the form was so characteristic as to determine the plant, or, at least, indicate the genus and family from which the specimen was obtained.

WILSON Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden, 1500 North College Avenue, Claremont, California 91711-3157, USA (carol. wilson@ cgu. edu) ABSTRACT Subgeneric groups have been circumscribed in Iris based on a small number of morphological characters. Recent DNA sequence data has indicated that several of the subgenera, sections, and series that have previously been delineated are paraphyletic or polyphyletic. The evolution of characters that have traditionally been used to distinguish sub generic and sectional groups within Iris was investigated by mapping these characters on a phylogenetic tree based on matK sequence data. Results indicate that rhizomes are pleisomorphic for the genus and that three bulb types have arisen independently. My analysis shows that sepal beards, sepal crests, and seed arils show extensive homoplasy. Most of the homoplasy seen is associated with the circumscription of polyphyletic subgeneric groups such as the beardless subgenus Limniris. Some additional homoplasy is due to diversity within supported clades or the historical use of a single character in circumscribing more than one subgeneric group.

  • Flowering Plants of South Norwood Country Park
    Flowering Plants Of South Norwood Country Park Robert Spencer Introduction South Norwood Country Park relative to its size contains a wide range habitats and as a result a diverse range of plants can be found growing on site. Some of these plants are very conspicuous, growing in great abundance and filling the park with splashes of bright colour with a white period in early May largely as a result of the Cow Parsley, this is followed later in the year by a pink period consisting of mainly Willow herbs. Other plants to be observed are common easily recognisable flowers. However there are a great number of plants growing at South Norwood Country Park that are less well-known or harder to spot, and the casual observer would likely be surprised to learn that 363 species of flowering plants have so far been recorded growing in the park though this number includes invasive species and garden escapes. This report is an update of a report made in 2006, and though the site has changed in the intervening years the management and fundamental nature of the park remains the same. Some plants have diminished and some have flourished and the high level of diversity is still present. Many of these plants are important to other wildlife particularly in their relationship to invertebrate pollinators, and some of these important interactions are referenced in this report. With so many species on the plant list there is a restriction on how much information is given for each species, with some particularly rare or previously observed but now absent plants not included though they appear in the index at the back of the report including when they were last observed.

  • Iris Sibirica and Others Iris Albicans Known As Cemetery
    Iris Sibirica and others Iris Albicans Known as Cemetery Iris as is planted on Muslim cemeteries. Two different species use this name; the commoner is just a white form of Iris germanica, widespread in the Mediterranean. This is widely available in the horticultural trade under the name of albicans, but it is not true to name. True Iris albicans which we are offering here occurs only in Arabia and Yemen. It is some 60cm tall, with greyish leaves and one to three, strongly and sweetly scented, 9cm flowers. The petals are pure, bone- white. The bracts are pale green. (The commoner interloper is found across the Mediterranean basin and is not entitled to the name, which continues in use however. The wrongly named albicans, has brown, papery bracts, and off-white flowers). Our stock was first found near Sana’a, Yemen and is thriving here, outside, in a sunny, raised bed. Iris Sibirica and others Iris chrysographes Black Form Clumps of narrow, iris-like foliage. Tall sprays of darkest violet to almost black velvety flowers, Jun-Sept. Ht 40cm. Moist, well drained soil. Part shade. Deepest Purple which is virtually indistinguishable from black. Moist soil.

Title : Geographical distribution of flower colour polymorphism in Iris lutescens Author: Eric Imbert Address : ISEM, University of Montpellier – Montpellier, France [email protected] Accepté pour publication Botany Letters https://doi.org/10.1080/23818107.2020.1833750 Abstract Iris lutescens is a common species occurring mainly in dry limestone habitats in Western Italy, Southern France and Spain. The species shows a remarkable polymorphism for flower colour, and yellow and purple flowers can be found in the same population. As the species is a deceptive one, the previous studies on the maintenance of such a polymorphism were linked to its pollination ecology. Here, I reported on the spatial distribution of the polymorphism, and showed that Spanish populations are mostly purple monomorphic. In contrast, populations in the South of France and Italy show the complete range, from 0 to 1, for the frequency of yellow morph, and the spatial autocorrelation for morph frequencies is very low.
