It is not about provid- ing a complete and in-depth review of all small fruits and their cul- ture, nor is it a grower’s manual for commercial production. Rather, this book is an overview of temperate and tropical small fruits with notes on their culture. Some entries provide far more information than others simply because far more is known about the culture of some fruits than of others. This is a book for the home grower and general fruit garden enthu- siast. The text is written in nontechnical language whenever possible and provides information on all aspects of fruit culture that the home grower would require. A deficiency in specific information related, say, to pollination or fertilization of a species generally means that the literature is deficient in that information. Main entries of common names appear in bold letters. Where an entry is not a standard name for a species, or where several common names are in use, the reader is directed to a specific entry. Following the main entry is the name of the family to which the species belongs. This in turn is followed by all synonyms in small capital letters. If the name appearing in the main entry applies to several species, such as in the case of “bearberry,” the more common of those species are listed and described under the heading. In nearly all cases the scien- tific nomenclature adheres to that of Hortus Third: A Concise Dictio- nary of Plants Cultivated in the United States and Canada. Within each heading, species are described generally in simple language and directions for culture are given in systematic arrangement. Also pro- vided in addition to cultural practices is a general history of the genus and the use of its fruit, notes on propagation, production information if it is available, and the hardiness zone(s) to which the species is adapted. The hardiness zones are those given by the U.S. Department 1 © 2008 by Taylor & Francis Group, LLC 2 AN ENCYCLOPEDIA OF SMALL FRUIT of Agriculture. Finally, I have included for the home grower a brief glossary to explain some of the more complicated terms used in the book. At times I have made an arbitrary distinction between a small (bush) fruit and a tree fruit. For example, chokecherry and American plum can be pruned to a single trunk and called tree fruit. However, their natural habit of growth, wherein they sucker profusely and form thickets, renders them bush fruit, and so they are included here. Common names are sometimes confusing, with toxic and non- toxic species sharing the same name, as in the nightshades. Never eat fruit of a plant you cannot positively identify. Further, some people may be allergic to fruit commonly considered edible. Be careful what you eat. Last, this book is the product of work over the past several years. Many have contributed to technical aspects of its formatting and entries. However, its completion at this time is the result of constant urging, encouragement, technical help, and strong support from my wife, Cheryl, and it is to her that I dedicate this work. © 2008 by Taylor & Francis Group, LLC A acerola: See cherry, Barbados. actinidia, bower (Actinidia arguta): See kiwifruit. Akebia: Lardizabalaceae. This genus contains two species, both monoecious, twining, semievergreen shrubs or vines native to tem- perate areas of east Asia. Leaves alternate, palmately compound; leaflets three to five, stalked, emarginated; flowers purplish, in axillary racemes, sepals three; male flowers toward the apex of the ra- ceme, stamens six; female flowers below, pistils three to twelve; fruit ovoid-oblong, blue or purple berry, dehiscent along one side; seeds many, black (Hortus, 1976). Plants of this genus do best in full sun with well drained soil and are propagated by seeds, hardwood and softwood cuttings, and root division. Akebia quinata (Houtt.) Decne. FIVE-LEAF AKEBIA; CHOCOLATE VINE. Leaflets five, entire. The fragrant, dark-colored flowers open in spring. Native to Japan, China, and Korea. The showy fruit varies in size but is normally about 6 to 8 centimeters (2-3 inches) long and 5 centimeters (2 inches) in diameter, violet-purple, bloomy, with yel- lowish-green, homogeneous pulp containing 40 to 50 oblong seeds.

  • Relatives of Temperate Fruits) of the Book Series, "Wild Crop Relatives: Genetic, Genomic and Breeding Resources Ed C
    Volume 6 (Relatives of Temperate Fruits) of the book series, "Wild Crop Relatives: Genetic, Genomic and Breeding Resources ed C. Kole 2011 p179-197 9 Rubus J. Graham* and M. Woodhead Scottish Crop Research Institute, Dundee, DD2 5DA, UK *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract The Rosaceae family consists of around 3, 000 species of which 500 belong to the genus Rubus. Ploidy levels range from diploid to dodecaploid with a genomic number of 7, and members can be difficult to classify into distinct species due to hybridization and apomixes. Species are distributed widely across Asia, Europe, North and South America with the center of diversity now considered to be in China, where there are 250-700 species of Rubus depending on the taxonomists. Rubus species are an important horticultural source of income and labor being produced for the fresh and processing markets for their health benefits. Blackberries and raspberries have a relatively short history of less than a century as cultivated crops that have been enhanced through plant breeding and they are only a few generations removed from their wild progenitor species. Rubus sp. are typically found as early colonizers of disturbed sites such as pastures, along forest edges, in forest clearings and along roadsides. Blackberries are typically much more tolerant of drought, flooding and high temperatures, while red raspberries are more tolerant of cold winters. Additionally, they exhibit vigorous vegetative reproduction by either tip layering or root suckering, permitting Rubus genotypes to cover large areas. The attractiveness of the fruits to frugivores, especially birds, means that seed dispersal can be widespread with the result that Rubus genotypes can very easily be spread to new sites and are very effective, high-speed invaders.

  • Well-Known Plants in Each Angiosperm Order
    Well-known plants in each angiosperm order This list is generally from least evolved (most ancient) to most evolved (most modern). (I’m not sure if this applies for Eudicots; I’m listing them in the same order as APG II.) The first few plants are mostly primitive pond and aquarium plants. Next is Illicium (anise tree) from Austrobaileyales, then the magnoliids (Canellales thru Piperales), then monocots (Acorales through Zingiberales), and finally eudicots (Buxales through Dipsacales). The plants before the eudicots in this list are considered basal angiosperms. This list focuses only on angiosperms and does not look at earlier plants such as mosses, ferns, and conifers. Basal angiosperms – mostly aquatic plants Unplaced in order, placed in Amborellaceae family • Amborella trichopoda – one of the most ancient flowering plants Unplaced in order, placed in Nymphaeaceae family • Water lily • Cabomba (fanwort) • Brasenia (watershield) Ceratophyllales • Hornwort Austrobaileyales • Illicium (anise tree, star anise) Basal angiosperms - magnoliids Canellales • Drimys (winter's bark) • Tasmanian pepper Laurales • Bay laurel • Cinnamon • Avocado • Sassafras • Camphor tree • Calycanthus (sweetshrub, spicebush) • Lindera (spicebush, Benjamin bush) Magnoliales • Custard-apple • Pawpaw • guanábana (soursop) • Sugar-apple or sweetsop • Cherimoya • Magnolia • Tuliptree • Michelia • Nutmeg • Clove Piperales • Black pepper • Kava • Lizard’s tail • Aristolochia (birthwort, pipevine, Dutchman's pipe) • Asarum (wild ginger) Basal angiosperms - monocots Acorales

The sequences of internal transcribed spacer regions in nuclear ribosomal DNA were employed to construct phylogenetic relationships using maximum parsimony (MP) and Bayesian analysis. Molecular phylogenetic analysis revealed that Korean Elaeagnus was a polyphyly. E. umbellata var. coreana formed a subclade with E. umbellata. Additionally, the genetic difference between E. submacrophylla and E. macrophylla was very low. Moreover, E. submacrophylla formed a branch from E. macrophylla, indicating that E. submacrophylla can be regarded as a variety. However, several populations of this species were not clustered as a single clade; therefore, further study should be conducted using other molecular markers. Although E. glabra f. oxyphylla was distinct in morphological characters of leaf shape with E. glabra. But E. glabra f. oxyphylla was formed one clade by molecular phylogenetic with E. glabra. Additionally, this study clearly demonstrated that E. pungens occurs in Korea, although it was previously reported near South Korea in Japan and China. According to the results of ITS regions analyses, it showed a resolution and to verify the relationship between interspecies of Korean Elaeagnus.

Executive Summary This survey was a continuation of several years of rare plant survey on San Juan Public Lands. Funding for the project was provided by San Juan National Forest and the San Juan Resource Area of the Bureau of Land Management. Previous rare plant surveys on San Juan Public Lands by CNHP were conducted in conjunction with county wide surveys of La Plata, Archuleta, San Juan and San Miguel counties, with partial funding from Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO); and in 2004, public lands only in Dolores and Montezuma counties, funded entirely by the San Juan Public Lands. Funding for 2005 was again provided by San Juan Public Lands. The primary emphases for field work in 2005 were: 1. revisit and update information on rare plant occurrences of agency sensitive species in the Colorado Natural Heritage Program (CNHP) database that were last observed prior to 2000, in order to have the most current information available for informing the revision of the Resource Management Plan for the San Juan Public Lands (BLM and San Juan National Forest); 2.

DIFFERENTIATION OF MESPILUS AND CRATAEGUS, EXPANSION OF ×CRATAEMESPILUS, WITH SUPPLEMENTARY OBSERVATIONS ON DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE CRATAEGUS AND AMELANCHIER CLADES JAMES B. PHIPPS Department of Biology, The University of Western Ontario, London, Ontario N6A 5B7, Canada; email: [email protected] Abstract The paper argues the position for retaining a monotypic Mespilus, i.e., in the sense of M. germanica, the medlar. Recent cladistic papers lend support for Mespilus being sister to Crataegus, and there is a clear morphological distinction from Cra- taegus, emphasized by adaptation to carnivore frugivory. Mespilus secured, the paper then treats each of the known hybrids between Mespilus and Crataegus, making the new combination Crataemespilus ×canescens (J.B. Phipps) J.B. Phipps. Keywords: Crataemespilus ×canescens (J.B. Phipps) J.B. Phipps comb. nov.; inflorescence position; medlar; Mespilus a folk-genus; Mespilus distinct from Crataegus; Rosaceae; taxonomic history of Mespilus Introduction The author has a long-standing interest in generic delimitation in the Maloid genera of the Rosaceae (Maleae Small, formerly Maloideae C. Weber, Pyrinae Dumort.), as shown particularly in a series of papers with K. Robertson, J. Rohrer, and P.G. Smith (Phipps et al. 1990, 1991; Robertson at al. 1991, 1992; Rohrer at al. 1991, 1994) which treated all 28 genera of Maleae as recognised by us.

A few of these were not happy in their location and promptly died, or did so poorly as to warrant their removal. A few new varie- ties were added to the original group, but for the most part these trees have been growing there s~nce the trial plot was first laid out. The collection has been of special interest to home owners in the suburban areas of Boston, who naturally are interested in small ornamental trees. It has also been of considerable interest to the tree wardens of various towns throughout New England, for here one may see many of the best small trees growing side by side, so that comparisons can be easily made. Recently this plot has been of interest to the Electric Council of New England, a group of utility companies which provide various electric services for the public in addition to stringing electric lines for these services. When the right kinds of trees are planted properly in the right places along the streets and highways, there need be but little competition between the trees and the wires.

Distribution and habitat Native to Australia, Papua New Guinea and Indo- nesia in hot humid and sub-humid lowlands with mean annual rainfall of 800-2500 mm and mean an- nual temperature of 20-30°C. Often found on river banks and in coastal areas. It is cultivated widely in the tropics within an altitude range of 0-500 (-1000) masl, and even though frost does not occur in its natural range, it tolerates light frost. It is exceptionally tolerant to soil type in regard to fertility, salinity and pH. It can grow on acid mine spoils with pH 3 and on alkaline beach sands with pH 8-9. It does not tolerate shade or strong winds. Isoenzyme analysis has revealed a marked genetic variation with 3 distinct groups corresponding to the geographic distribution in Papua New Guinea, Queensland and Northern Territory.
