Red-flowering Currant (Ribes sanguineum) Gooseberry Family Why Choose It? At the bleak tail-end of winter, red-flowering currant’s flurry of blossoms act like horticultural Prozac. Grace- fully drooping clusters of crimson flowers adorn shrubs that have yet to leaf out. The blooms reassure us that yes, spring is nearly here. The rest of the year the shrub is a good garden citizen, greening up nicely with maple-like leaves, making berries for the birds, and turning gently yellow in the fall—while quietly awaiting its return to top billing. In the Garden Photo: Ben Legler Happy in sun or shade, this freely branching shrub brightens up a mixed border or woodland. Early migrating hummingbirds seek out its flower nectar. Later on, robins, towhees, and sparrows enjoy the whitish berries, although humans find them insipid. The Facts Red-flowering currant grows upright, 3 to 9 feet tall. If you water it for the first two summers after planting, it will do fine through our dry summers. Several cultivars are available, including ones with pure white flowers. Where to See It Red-flowering currant grows in open woods, on cliffs, and along roadsides in western Washington. It has been planted at many native plant demonstration gardens and res- toration projects. And, hey, what was it worth in the 19th century? When David Douglas, the mercurial and dauntless Northwest plant explorer, sent seeds of red-flowering currant to London, the plant became all the rage. The Royal Horticultural Society recouped its investment in Douglas’s expedition from this plant introduction alone.

Outline of Angiosperm Phylogeny
Outline of angiosperm phylogeny: orders, families, and representative genera with emphasis on Oregon native plants Priscilla Spears December 2013 The following listing gives an introduction to the phylogenetic classification of the flowering plants that has emerged in recent decades, and which is based on nucleic acid sequences as well as morphological and developmental data. This listing emphasizes temperate families of the Northern Hemisphere and is meant as an overview with examples of Oregon native plants. It includes many exotic genera that are grown in Oregon as ornamentals plus other plants of interest worldwide. The genera that are Oregon natives are printed in a blue font. Genera that are exotics are shown in black, however genera in blue may also contain non-native species. Names separated by a slash are alternatives or else the nomenclature is in flux. When several genera have the same common name, the names are separated by commas. The order of the family names is from the linear listing of families in the APG III report. For further information, see the references on the last page. Basal Angiosperms (ANITA grade) Amborellales Amborellaceae, sole family, the earliest branch of flowering plants, a shrub native to New Caledonia – Amborella Nymphaeales Hydatellaceae – aquatics from Australasia, previously classified as a grass Cabombaceae (water shield – Brasenia, fanwort – Cabomba) Nymphaeaceae (water lilies – Nymphaea; pond lilies – Nuphar) Austrobaileyales Schisandraceae (wild sarsaparilla, star vine – Schisandra; Japanese

The purpose of the guide is to provide the necessary information about variety selection, planting requirements, and plant care that growers will need to make informed decisions. This guide will look at blackcurrants, red currants (including white and pink, which are of the same species as reds), and gooseberries. While not all varieties are included in this guide, we cover those that seem to have the most potential for the North American market. Common varieties such as Pixwell, Oregon Champion, Colossal (gooseberries), Consort, Ben Nevis, Crandall, Ben Lomond, Ben Alder (black currants) have been surpassed by the introduction of varieties that combine higher yields, better disease resistance and superior fruit qualities. In future editions of this guide we will discuss new and relevant varieties as they are made available, as well as updated information on yields, pests, and information from the plant trials that will be taking place across North America.

D 3 Rhus Trilobata Oakleaf Sumac This Large (3-6’ Tall by 6-10’ Wide), Drought Tolerant Shrub Has Trilobed Leaves That Turn a Bright Red to Orange Color in the Fall
D 4 Ribes sanguineum Red-flowering Currant Fragrant tri-lobed leaves are accompanied by pale to dark pink (and occasionally white) flower spikes in early spring. The shrub typically grows 3-5’ tall by 3-4’wide. The dark black, glaucous berries are not palatable. The striking spring flowers have made this shrub popular in the horticulture industry where numerous cultivars are available. Native from British Columbia to central CA, to eastern slopes of the Cascades in WA and northern OR, east to Northern ID. Rhus trilobata D 3 Rhus trilobata Oakleaf Sumac This large (3-6’ tall by 6-10’ wide), drought tolerant shrub has trilobed leaves that turn a bright red to orange color in the fall. Plants are either male or female with a bright red furry fruit produced on the female plants. It makes a nice midsize shrub for erosion control, or as a screen or hedge for a dry, sunny spot in the garden. The leaves have an odd odor when crushed and the fruit has a lemony taste when fresh, hence its other common names, Skunkbush Sumac or Lemonade Bush. Native to perennial or ephemeral streams or draws, chiefly east of the Rocky Mountains from Alberta to Mexico. Ribes sanguineum -D 3 Rosa woodsii Woods’ Rose Small, pale to dark pink flowers (petals up to 1”) bloom in clusters in late May. They grow 3-4’ tall and spread rhizomatously to form thickets making excellent cover for wildlife with their compound leaves and recurved prickles. If space is limited, their rhizomatous habit can become a major disadvantage so care must be taken to locate accordingly.

Phlox Douglasii Hook.)
PLANT OF THE YEAR Columbia Phlox (Phlox douglasii Hook.) James H. Locklear 7431 Briarhurst Circle, Lincoln, NE 68506 Phlox douglasii is a subshrub, branching from a woody base with herbaceous growth that dies back to the woody tissue at the end of each growing season. Flowers are borne at the top of the new growth. Photo by James Locklear. hlox douglasii is a name covering…a multitude of in 1820, and helped develop the Glasgow Botanic Garden botanical sins.” So wrote Ira Gabrielson in his 1932 where his path crossed that of a newly hired gardener (David classic, Western American Alpines, and so I discovered Douglas). Hooker was so impressed with the young Scot that for“P myself some 70 years later. With grants from the Native he recommended Douglas to the Royal Horticultural Society of Plant Society of Oregon and the North American Rock Garden London as a botanical collector (Hooker 1836). Douglas made Society, I waded into a study of the genus Phlox in general and his first collecting trip under the auspices of the Society in 1823, P. douglasii in particular. While matters of nomenclature can be traveling to the northeastern United States and Canada. In 1824 he tedious to work through, the species in question is a prominent set sail for the west coast of North America, arriving at the mouth wildflower in a number of plant communities in central and of the Columbia River in April of 1825. In this vast watershed, eastern Oregon, and a clear picture of its taxonomic identity is Douglas collected seeds and plant specimens for the Society, and important to understanding and describing the ecology of these in the process, discovered scores of new species that today bear communities.

Conifers Network
GENETIC RESOURCES OF EXOTIC CONIFERS 31 The introduction, evaluation and use of non-native conifer species in Britain C.I.A. Samuel Tree Improvement Branch, Forest Research, Northern Research Station, Roslin, EH25 9SY, UK; Email: sam. orestry.gsi.gov.uk Introduction As part of an island grouping separated from mainland Europe, the United Kingdom (UK) has only three conifer species: Pinus sylvestris L., Taxus baccata L. and Juniperus communis L. These species arrived between the end of the last period of glaciation and the disappearance of the land-bridge with mainland Europe. Only Pinus sylvestris is of economic importance and it remains naturally distributed in small populations in the Scottish Highlands. The development of techniques of artificial regeneration of managed forests therefore brought an interest in non-native conifer species to exploit the wide range of site conditions present and exotic species now account for the major part of commercial coniferous forestry. The introduction of exotic conifers to Britain A summary of the introduction of exotic conifers is given in Table 1. In the table the origin, date of introduction, person who introduced the species, where known, and date when the species was first used as a commercial plantation species is given. More details are given by Macdonald et al. (1957). Among the European species, Picea abies (L.) Karst., which was present before the last glaciation, was probably introduced as early as the 16th century and was grown commercially from that time. Larix decidua P. Mill. was introduced in the late 17th century and a number of individual specimens dating from the early 18th century are still standing.
