  • 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

Roundleaf toothcup’s flowers grow in mat in Tuscaloosa, AL. grow densely in the mats. spike inflorescenses. Introduction Problems Created Roundleaf toothcup is native to south and southeast Asia from India to Japan. In its native range, this Rotala species is reported to occur primarily in mountainous areas, including altitudes of more than 2600m (8500ft). However, roundleaf toothcup has been recorded in canals in southern Florida and a single pond on the University of Alabama campus in Tuscaloosa. Roundleaf toothcup is planted in Florida water gardens as a transition plant because it grows well from shorelines out to open water. This flexibility gives roundleaf toothcup a similar advantage to alligatorweed in fluctuating wetland margin habitats. Roundleaf toothcup was first observed in Florida in 1996, and by 2002 it was known to occur in three south Florida counties, in addition to the one Tuscaloosa, AL, population. Regulations This species was added as a Category One invasive species by the Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council in 2007. Presently, it is not listed as a potential threat by any other US state; however, it is a recognized weedy invasive species in Australia. Description Vegetative Growth Roundleaf toothcup is readily distinguishable from native Mid-South species of the Lythraceae (loosestrife) family (other species of Rotala, along with species of Ammannia, Cuphea and Lythrum.).

  • Study of Vessel Elements in the Stem of Genus Ammannia and Rotala (Lytharaceae)
    Science Research Reporter 2(1):59-65, March 2012 ISSN: 2249-2321 (Print) Study of Vessel elements in the stem of Genus Ammannia and Rotala (Lytharaceae) Anil A Kshirsagar and N P Vaikos Department of Botany, Shivaji Arts, Commerce and Science College Kannad Dist- Aurangabad. (M.S.) 431103 Babasaheb Ambedkar Marathwada University Aurangabad [email protected] ABSTRACT The vessel elements in the stem of Genus Ammannia with four species and the Genus Rotala with nine species have been investigated. The vessel elements in the stem of Ammannia and Rotala exhibit the variation in their length and diameter. The minimum length of vessel element was reported in species of Rotala indica and Rotala rosea 142.8µm, while the maximum length of vessel element was reported in Ammannia baccifera sub spp.aegyptiaca (571.2 µm). The minimum diameter of vessel element was recorded in Rotala floribunda, R.occultiflora, R. rotundifolia, R.malmpuzhensis (21.4 µm) while maximum diameter of vessel element was recorded in Ammannia baccifera sub spp.baccifera (49.98 µm). The perforation plates were mostly simple. The positions of perforation plate were terminal and sub-terminal, the tails were recorded in many investigated taxa and the lateral walls of vessels were pitted. The vestured pits were the characteristics of family-Lytheraceae. Keywords: Vessel elements, perforation plates, Stem of Genus Ammannia and Rotala (Lythraceae) INTRODUCTION The family Lythraceae consists of about 24 genera kinwat and fixed in FAA.They were preserved in 70% and nearly 500 species widespread in the tropical alcohol.

THOMAS Institute of Botanical Training, LLC 111 County Road 3260 Salem, Missouri 65560 [email protected] ABSTRACT An annotated checklist of the 2,961 vascular taxa comprising the flora of Missouri is presented, with conservatism rankings for Floristic Quality Assessment. The list also provides standardized acronyms for each taxon and information on nativity, physiognomy, and wetness ratings. Annotated comments for selected taxa provide taxonomic, floristic, and ecological information, particularly for taxa not recognized in recent treatments of the Missouri flora. Synonymy crosswalks are provided for three references commonly used in Missouri. A discussion of the concept and application of Floristic Quality Assessment is presented. To accurately reflect ecological and taxonomic relationships, new combinations are validated for two distinct taxa, Dichanthelium ashei and D. werneri , and problems in application of infraspecific taxon names within Quercus shumardii are clarified.

  • Rotala Species in Peninsular India, Where Ir Displays Maximum Morphological Diversity Than in Other Parts of the Subcontinent
    Proc. Indian Acad. Sci. (Plant Sci.), Vol. 99, No. 3, June 1989, pp. 179-197. Printed in India. RotMa Linn. (Lythraceae) in peninsular India K T JOSEPH and V V SIVARAJAN Department of Botany, University of Calicut, Calicut 673 635, India MS received 21 June 1988; revised 17 February 1989 Abstraet. This paper deals with a revised taxonomic study of Rotala species in peninsular India, where ir displays maximum morphological diversity than in other parts of the subcontinent. Of the 19 species reported from India, 14 are distributed here. Besides, two new species of the genus, Rotala cook¡ Joseph and Sivarajan and Rotala vasudevanii Joseph and Sivarajan have also been discovered and described from this part of the country, making the total number of species 16. Ah artificial key for the species, their nomenclature and synonymy, descriptions and other relevant notes are provided here. Keywords. Lythraceae; Rotala; Ammannia. 1. Introduction The genera Ammannia Linn. (1753) and Rotala Linn. (1771) are closely allied with a remarkable degree of similarity in habit often leading to confusion in their generic recognition. Earlier authors considered Ammannia as a larger, more inclusive taxon, including Rotala in it. Bentham and Hooker (1865) recognised two subgenera in Ammannia viz., Subg. Rotala and Subg. Eu-Ammannia and this was followed by Clarke (1879) in his account of Indian species of this group for Hooker's Flora of British India. However, the current consensus among botanists is in favour of treating them as distinct genera, based mainly on the dehiscence of the fruits and structure of the pericarp (see van Leeuwen 1971; Panigrahi 1976).
