  • H3.3 Macaronesian Inland Cliff
    European Red List of Habitats - Screes Habitat Group H3.3 Macaronesian inland cliff Summary The perennial vegetation of crevices and ledges of cliff faces in Macaronesia away from coastal salt-spray is of very diverse character - some, for example, dominated by succulents, others rich in ferns and bryophytes characteristic of shaded situations - and it includes several hundreds of taxa endemic to the archipelagoes. The main threats are mountaineering and rock climbing, outdoor sports and leisure activities, and construction of infrastructures such as roads and motorways. Synthesis There is no evidence of significant past reductions, either in the last 50 years or historically, and also future prospects are good, as no serious threats are envisaged, besides touristic/leisure activities and putative faulty environmental impact assessments that may overlook this habitat as valuable. Reduction in quantity, reduction in quality and criteria of geographic distribution yield the Least Concern (LC) category. In spite of the LC category, conservation policy and management should restrict to the maximum any threat to or reduction of the habitat, as it has a very high conservation value, because of high endemism of species and communities with many local and regional variaties. Overall Category & Criteria EU 28 EU 28+ Red List Category Red List Criteria Red List Category Red List Criteria Least Concern - Least Concern - Sub-habitat types that may require further examination Four general subtypes can be distinguished based on species composition and different ecological conditions. However, at present, no data are available to carry out an individual assessment of each of them. In the future, if detailed plot sampling has been carried out, such an evaluation may be possible.

  • A Numerical Taxonomy of the Genus Rosularia (Dc.) Stapf from Pakistan and Kashmir
    Pak. J. Bot., 44(1): 349-354, 2012. A NUMERICAL TAXONOMY OF THE GENUS ROSULARIA (DC.) STAPF FROM PAKISTAN AND KASHMIR GHULAM RASOOL SARWAR* AND MUHAMMAD QAISER Centre for Plant Conservation, University of Karachi, Karachi-75270, Pakistan Federal Urdu University of Arts, Science and Technology, Gulshan-e-Iqbal, Karachi, Pakistan Abstract Numerical analysis of the taxa belonging to the genus Rosularia (DC.) Stapf was carried out to find out their phenetic relationship. Data from different disciplines viz. general, pollen and seed morphology, chemistry and distribution pattern were used. As a result of cluster analysis two distinct groups are formed. Out of which one group consists of R. sedoides (Decne.) H. Ohba and R. alpestris A. Boriss. while other group comprises R. adenotricha (Wall. ex Edgew.) Jansson ssp. adenotricha , R. adenotricha ssp. chitralica, G.R. Sarwar, R. rosulata (Edgew.) H. Ohba and R. viguieri (Raym.-Hamet ex Frod.) G.R. Sarwar. Distribution maps of all the taxa, along with key to the taxa are also presented. Introduction studied the genus Rosularia and indicated that the genus is polyphyletic. Mayuzumi & Ohba (2004) analyzed the Rosularia is a small genus composed of 28 species, relationships within the genus Rosularia. According to distributed in arid or semiarid regions ranging from N. different workers Rosularia is polyphyletic. Africa to C. Asia through E. Mediterranean (Mabberley, There are no reports on numerical studies of 2008). Some of the taxa of Rosularia are in general Crassulaceae except the genus Sedum from Pakistan cultivation and several have great appeal due to their (Sarwar & Qaiser, 2011). The primary aim of this study is extraordinarily regular rosettes on the leaf colouring in to analyze diagnostic value of morphological characters in various seasons.

  • Sedum 'Autumn Joy'
    Yard and Garden – 09-20-2014- Ted Griess/ Extension Horticulture Assistant Autumn officially arrives in two days. Typically, when one thinks of beautiful autumn flowers, chrysanthemums and asters come to mind. Perhaps not as prevalent but just as beautiful is another autumn flower, one that even has the word autumn in its variety name. In our yard and throughout the countryside, I have been noticing ‘Autumn Joy’ in full bloom. This variety of flowering plant belongs to the genus Sedum. Such plants are commonly called showy stonecrop sedum or border stonecrop sedum. The word sedum itself is so widely used that it, too, has become a common name for the plant. ‘Autumn Joy’ sedums are upright perennial plants with thick stems and succulent, fleshy leaves. Their stout, sturdy stems support massive flower heads which develop in summer and burst into bloom in autumn. The flowers begin blooming in shades of pale pink Sedum ‘Autumn Joy’ and light mauve then changing to a deep rose and beautiful bronze as autumn progresses. Even after frost, the flowers of ‘Autumn Joy’ remain attractive well into the winter. If the plants are left standing, they not only provide winter interest but become a great food source for birds. Deer do not particularly like them which is good news for those living on acreages. Interestingly, there are numerous types of sedum, all of which have fleshy, succulent leaves. Low-growing varieties hug the ground and may reach just two inches in height; whereas, tall varieties top out at two feet or more. Sedums offer an assortment of attributes.

  • New Contribution to the Study of Alien Flora in Romania
    SÎRBU CULIŢĂ, OPREA ADRIAN, ELIÁŠ PAVOL jun., FERUS PETER J. Plant Develop. 18(2011): 121-134 NEW CONTRIBUTION TO THE STUDY OF ALIEN FLORA IN ROMANIA SÎRBU CULIŢĂ1, OPREA ADRIAN2, ELIÁŠ PAVOL jun.3, FERUS PETER4 Abstract: In this paper, a number of seventeen alien plant species are presented, one of them being now for the first time reported in Romania (Sedum sarmentosum Bunge). Some species are mentioned for the first time in the flora of Moldavia (Aster novae-angliae L., Cenchrus incertus M. A. Curtis, Chenopodium pumilio R. Br., Fraxinus americana L., Lindernia dubia (L.) Pennell, Petunia × atkinsiana D. Don, Solidago gigantea Aiton, Tagetes erecta L.) or Transylvania (Kochia sieversiana (Pallas) C. A. Mey.), and some are reported from new localities (seven species). For each species, there are presented general data on the geographical origin, its distribution in Europe and worldwide, as well as its invasion history and current distribution in Romania. Some of these species manifest a remarkable spreading tendency, expanding their invasion area in Romania. Voucher specimens were deposited in the Herbarium of University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine Iaşi (IASI). Keywords: alien plants, flora, new records, Romania Introduction According to ANASTASIU & NEGREAN (2005), the alien flora of Romania includes 435 species, of which 88.3% are neophytes and 11.7% are archaeophytes. Therefore, species of alien origin currently represent ca 13% of the total flora of the country, which was estimated by CIOCÂRLAN (2009) to 3335 species. In the last years there is a continuous enrichment of Romania’s flora with new alien plant species [ANASTASIU & NEGREAN, 2008; OPREA & SÎRBU, 2010; SÎRBU & OPREA, 2011].

Based on recent phylogenetic and morphological studies in Crassulaceae family, genus Prometheum was considered as independent genus. So far, two species viz. P. pilosum (under Sedum pilosum), and P. sempervivoides (under S. sempervivoides) has been reported from Iran. These two species and the new report are specific to mountains regions and they mostly occur at elevation above 2000 m.s.l. in the northwest of Iran (West and East Azerbaijan provinces). A short discussion on the taxonomic history of the genus Prometheum and the relative species, description, distribution, illustration, ecology and a key for existing three Iranian species is provided.

DCorresponding author. Email: [email protected] This paper is part of an ongoing series: ‘The Evolution of Plant Functions’. Abstract. Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) is a specialised mode of photosynthesis that improves atmospheric CO2 assimilation in water-limited terrestrial and epiphytic habitats and in CO2-limited aquatic environments. In contrast with C3 and C4 plants, CAM plants take up CO2 from the atmosphere partially or predominantly at night. CAM is taxonomically widespread among vascular plants andis present inmanysucculent species that occupy semiarid regions, as well as intropical epiphytes and in some aquatic macrophytes. This water-conserving photosynthetic pathway has evolved multiple times and is found in close to 6% of vascular plant species from at least 35 families. Although many aspects of CAM molecular biology, biochemistry and ecophysiology are well understood, relatively little is known about the evolutionary origins of CAM. This review focuses on five main topics: (1) the permutations and plasticity of CAM, (2) the requirements for CAM evolution, (3) the drivers of CAM evolution, (4) the prevalence and taxonomic distribution of CAM among vascular plants with emphasis on the Orchidaceae and (5) the molecular underpinnings of CAM evolution including circadian clock regulation of gene expression.

  • Hardy Sedums in Albuquerque
    CACTUS and SUCCULENT SOCIETY of NEW MEXICO P.O. Box 21357 Albuquerque, New Mexico 87154-1357 http://www.new-mexico.cactus-society.org HARDY SEDUMS IN ALBUQUERQUE ‘Old Man’s Bones’...’Dragon’s Blood’...’Voodoo’....No, this is not the recipe for witches’ brew. These are the common names of some of the sedum species (collectively called stonecrops) we have attempted to grow outside in Albuquerque. Let’s be very scientific and precise. There are two major categories of sedum – those that take over and those that show a bit of restraint and stay where you put them! I (Penny) first became interested in sedums when I was a child on my grandparents’ farm in Kentucky. Cascading from a large wooden, dirt-filled barrel in their yard were trailing yellow-green, leafy stems that bore clusters of little yellow star-flowers in late spring. Our family called the plant ‘live-forever’ (erroneous), ‘moss’ (erroneous) or ‘stonecrop.’ Using wads of mud, I stuck sedum stem pieces into cracks between stones on the front of the root cellar. Next spring the root cellar was bearded with green stems and yellow flowers. Later I learned the plant is Sedum sarmentosum, a non-native that is likely an infertile hybrid. My cuttings from Kentucky have been growing well here in Albuquerque, with a bit of extra water and some sun protection. The mud-daubing is still a workable method for planting the sprawlers and crawlers of the sedum tribe. In recent years my preferred method has been to transplant by “trowel and error.” Sedums are native to both Old and New World; the varieties for sale in nurseries often are not native North American species.

  • Aeonium Mascaense, a New Species of Crassulaceae from the Canary
    BOTÁNICA MACARONESICA 10 < 1982) 57 AEONIUM MASCAENSE. A NEW SPECIES OF CRASSULACEAE FROM THE CANARY ISLANDS. DAVID BRAMWELL Jardín Botánico Canario "Viera y Clavijo" del Excmo. Cabildo Insular de Gran Canaria. SUMMARY A new species of Crassulaceae from the Canary Islands, Aeonium mas- caense, is described for the first time. It is endemic to a small área of the island of Tenerife in the Barranco de IVIasca. The characters differentiating it from other species of Aeonium sect. Urbica are discussed as are its ecology and distribution. A list of associated species is given. RESUMEN Se describe por primera vez una nueva especie de Crassulaceae de las Islas Canarias, el Aeonium mascaense. Es planta endémica de una pequeña área en el barranco de Masca, de la isla de Tenerife. Se trata de los caracteres diferenciadores con respecto a otras especies de Aeonium sect. Urbica, así como de su ecología y reparto. Se dá una lista de especies asociadas. INTRODUCTION Though the flora of the Canary Islands is now very well known, their rug- ged terrain with extensive áreas of cliffs and deep ravines make exploration difficult and a few novelties are still expected'to occur, this is the case with the new species of Aeonium described here. 58 DAVID BRAMWELL The genus Aeoniumis one of most interesting of the Cañarían genera be- cause of its high concentration of species resulting fronn local adaptive ra- diation (Lems, 1960; Voggenrelter, 1974) and its disjunct East African- Macaronesian distribution (BramweII, 1972). The genus was extensively monographed by Praeger (1932) and only two local endemlc species have been described since, A.

    Annals of Botany 93: 629±652, 2004 doi:10.1093/aob/mch087, available online at www.aob.oupjournals.org INVITED REVIEW Ecophysiology of Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM) ULRICH LUÈ TTGE* Institute of Botany, Technical University of Darmstadt, Schnittspahnstrasse 3±5, D-64287 Darmstadt, Germany Received: 3 October 2003 Returned for revision: 17 December 2003 Accepted: 20 January 2004 d Background and Scope Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM) as an ecophysiological modi®cation of photo- synthetic carbon acquisition has been reviewed extensively before. Cell biology, enzymology and the ¯ow of carbon along various pathways and through various cellular compartments have been well documented and dis- cussed. The present attempt at reviewing CAM once again tries to use a different approach, considering a wide range of inputs, receivers and outputs. d Input Input is given by a network of environmental parameters. Six major ones, CO2,H2O, light, temperature, nutrients and salinity, are considered in detail, which allows discussion of the effects of these factors, and combinations thereof, at the individual plant level (`physiological aut-ecology'). d Receivers Receivers of the environmental cues are the plant types genotypes and phenotypes, the latter includ- ing morphotypes and physiotypes. CAM genotypes largely remain `black boxes', and research endeavours of genomics, producing mutants and following molecular phylogeny, are just beginning. There is no special development of CAM morphotypes except for a strong tendency for leaf or stem succulence with large cells with big vacuoles and often, but not always, special water storage tissues. Various CAM physiotypes with differing degrees of CAM expression are well characterized. d Output Output is the shaping of habitats, ecosystems and communities by CAM.

  • Crassulaceae Stonecrop Family
    Crassulaceae stonecrop family Mainly northern, this family is represented in Nova Scotia by only a few species out of a total of 300. Page | 491 They are succulent herbaceous plants, bearing small yellow, white or pink flowers. Sepals and petals are five-merous; stamens number twice as many as the petals. Pistils 3–5; fruit is a follicle. Best-known as rock garden ornamentals, we have a single native species.(Key adapted from Go Botany). Key to genera A. Plants annual; aquatic or amphibious; flowers solitary; leaves connate around Crassula the stem. aa. Plants perennial; terrestrial; flowers usually in cymes; leaves not as above. B B. Leaves entire; plants matted with creeping stems. Sedum bb. Leaves toothed; plants with upright stems, which may be C decumbent at the base, or from stolons. C. Flowers unisexual, 4-merous; fertile stems from axils of Rhodiola brown scalelike leaves from fibrous roots. cc. Fowers bisexual, 5-merous; fertile stems from roots or D stolons. D. Plants mat-forming from creeping horizontal Phedimus stems; leaves opposite. dd. Plants not forming mats; leaves alternate, Hylotelephium opposite or whorled. Crassula L. Cosmopolitan in distribution, of the 250 species only one reaches NS. Most are succulent, their leaves opposite. One species of Africa known in horticulture as the Jade Plant, is a Crassula. Crassula aquatica (L.) Schonl. Pigmyweed; tillée aquatique A tiny tufted annual, it rarely exceeds 10cm in height. It is mat-forming with small sessile, linear and opposite leaves. Flowers are solitary and axillary, barely 1mm wide. Flowers from July to September. Habitat preferences are narrow: brackish muddy shores and Photo by Sean Blaney sand flats or borders of muddy ponds along the coast.
