The Suncrest Catalog for 2016, Public Version Suncrest Nurseries Inc. Catalog 2016 This is a comprehensive listing of the plants we expect to offer during the year 2016. The first and largest section lists plants alphabetically, giving capsule descriptions and prices for one and five-gallon containers. This is followed by lists of specific plant categories that might otherwise be easy to miss--the bamboos, bulbous and cormous perennials, ferns, grasses and succulents. Each section uses two-letter codes at the left margin of individual entries to mark California natives and plants of other selected geographical origins. California natives, our single most important geographical group, are marked with a CN. Those of other western states are shown by a WE. Plants of the Mediterranean region are marked with an ME. Australian plants have an AU. NZ is used for the plants of New Zealand. And those of South and southern Africa are designated with an SA. Many plant selections are available only briefly each year, generally during their regular flowering season. There are also many unanticipated offerings, as new plants enter the production stream and overlooked crops enter the field. Watch for new offerings at your local retail nursery/garden center.

  • Heptacodium Miconioides
    photograph © Peter Del Tredici, Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University An old multi-stemmed specimen of Heptacodium miconioides growing in woodland on Tian Tai Shan, Zhejiang, September 2004, probably the first wild plant ofHeptacodium to be seen by a Western botanist since its discovery by Ernest Wilson in 1907. Heptacodium miconioides Rehder In his last ‘Tree of the Year’, JOHN GRIMSHAW discusses what distinguishes a shrub from a tree and writes about a large shrub introduced to cultivation first in the early twentieth century and again in the late twentieth century, that is rare in the wild. Introduction When the terms of reference for New Trees were drawn up (see pp. 1-2), having agreed that the book would contain only trees, we had to address the deceptive question ‘what is a tree?’ Most of us ‘can recognise a tree when we see one’ and in many ways this is as good an answer as one needs, but when is a woody plant not a tree? When it’s a shrub, of course – but what is a shrub? In the end we adopted the simple definitions that a tree ‘normally [has] a single stem reaching or exceeding 5 m in height, at least in its native habitat. A shrub would normally have multiple woody stems emerging from the base or close to the ground, and would seldom exceed 5 m in height’ (Grimshaw & Bayton 2009). In most cases this served to make a clear distinction, but one of the casualties that fell between the two stools was the Chinese plant Heptacodium miconioides, a significant recent introduction described by theFlora of China (Yang et al.

  • Keynote Lecture MEXICAN BAMBOOS in the XXI CENTURY
    Keynote Lecture MEXICAN BAMBOOS IN THE XXI CENTURY: DIVERSITY, USEFUL SPECIES AND CONSERVATION Eduardo Ruiz-Sanchez / [email protected] Departamento de Botánica y Zoología, Centro Universitario de Ciencias Biológicas y Agropecuarias, Universidad de Guadalajara. Camino Ing. Ramón Padilla Sánchez 2100, Nextipac, Zapopán, Jalisco 45110, México. [email protected] Abstract Bamboos are giant grasses belonging to the subfamily Bambusoideae, one of the 12 recognized subfamilies in Poaceae. Bambusoideae has more than 1650 described species of bamboos worldwide both of herbaceous bamboos and woody bamboos. Mexico has 56 native bamboos, 52 of them are woody bamboos and four are herbaceous bamboos. Of these 50 species, 35 are endemic to Mexico, that is, they do not live wild in any other part of the world. Two species in Mexico are the most used since pre-Columbian times; Guadua inermis and Otatea acuminata. Both species have been used for the construction of houses with the technique of "bajereque." Besides these two species, other species have also been used for the same purpose as Guadua paniculata and Otatea fimbriata. Regionally, other species are used for basketry such as Chusquea circinata and Rhipidocladum racemiflorum. Finally, the use of the native species of Mexico as ornamental plants has not been exploited and remains an open field. For conservation purposes, only two endemic species of Mexico (Olmeca recta and Ol. reflexa) are listed in Norma Oficial Mexicana (NOM-059-SEMARNAT-2010) as endangered species. New analyzes and results indicate that eight endemic species should be included as critically endangered category and 27 species in the endangered category.

  • "Growth Responses of 'Heptacodium Miconioides' to Various
    J. AMER. Soc. HORT. SCI. 116(4):646-650. 1991. Growth Responses of Heptacodium miconioides to Various Photoperiods and Day/Night Temperatures Chin Chin Leel, Ted E. Bilderback2, and Judith F. Thomas3 North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC 27695-7609 Additional index words. long-day plant, Heptacodium jasminoides Abstract. Photoperiod treatments of 10, 12, 14, and 16 hours and a field control were used to determine the photope- riodic response of Heptacodium miconioides Rehd. The F values for vegetative growth responses under various pho- toperiods exhibited a highly significant linear effect. Leaf count, area, and weight, shoot length, and stem weight were lower for plants exposed to the 10- or 12-hour photoperiod than those of plants grown under the 14- or 16-hour photoperiod or in the field. Plants under the 10- or 12-hour photoperiod became dormant after 5 weeks of treatment. The growth responses for the 10- and 12-hour photoperiods were similar. There also were no differences in growth responses of plants from the 14- and 16-hour photoperiods or from the field. A favorable photoperiod for growth of Heptacodium must exceed 12 hours; thus, it can be classified as a long-day plant in reference to vegetative growth. Leaf tissues under the 10- and 12-hour photoperiods were significantly thicker than those under the 14- and 16-hour periods or under field conditions due to longer cells of the palisade mesophyll layer. Plants grown in the field and under the 14- or 16-hour photoperiods were the only ones that initiated inflorescences. With days at 30C, leaf and stem dimensions were larger than those at 22C.

  • Anigozanthos Bicolor Subsp. Minor) Recovery Plan
    SMALL TWO-COLOURED KANGAROO PAW (ANIGOZANTHOS BICOLOR SUBSP. MINOR) RECOVERY PLAN Department of Environment and Conservation Kensington Recovery Plan for Anigozanthos bicolor subsp. minor FOREWORD Interim Recovery Plans (IRPs) are developed within the framework laid down in Department of Conservation and Land Management (CALM) [now Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC)] Policy Statements Nos. 44 and 50. Note: the Department of CALM formally became the Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC) in July 2006. DEC will continue to adhere to these Policy Statements until they are revised and reissued. IRPs outline the recovery actions that are required to urgently address those threatening processes most affecting the ongoing survival of threatened taxa or ecological communities, and begin the recovery process. DEC is committed to ensuring that Threatened taxa are conserved through the preparation and implementation of Recovery Plans (RPs) or IRPs, and by ensuring that conservation action commences as soon as possible and, in the case of Critically Endangered (CR) taxa, always within one year of endorsement of that rank by the Minister. This Interim Recovery Plan will operate from May 2006 to April 2011 but will remain in force until withdrawn or replaced. It is intended that, if the taxon is still ranked Critically Endangered (WA), this IRP will be reviewed after five years and the need for further recovery actions assessed. This IRP was given regional approval on 13 February, 2006 and was approved by the Director of Nature Conservation on 22 February, 2006. The allocation of staff time and provision of funds identified in this Interim Recovery Plan is dependent on budgetary and other constraints affecting DEC, as well as the need to address other priorities.

Donoghue,2 and Jianhua Li1,4 1Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University, 22 Divinity Ave, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02138 U.S.A. 2Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Yale University, P.O. Box 208106, New Haven, Conneticut 06520-8106 U.S.A. 3Current Address: Plant Soil, and Insect Sciences, University of Massachusetts at Amherst, Amherst, Massachusetts 01003 U.S.A. 4Authors for correspondence ([email protected]; [email protected]) Communicating Editor: Lena Struwe Abstract—Recent phylogenetic analyses of the Dipsacales strongly support a Caprifolieae clade within Caprifoliaceae including Leycesteria, Triosteum, Symphoricarpos, and Lonicera. Relationships within Caprifolieae, however, remain quite uncertain, and the monophyly of Lonicera, the most species-rich of the traditional genera, and its subdivisions, need to be evaluated. In this study we used sequences of the ITS region of nuclear ribosomal DNA and five chloroplast non-coding regions (rpoB–trnC spacer, atpB–rbcL spacer, trnS–trnG spacer, petN–psbM spacer, and psbM–trnD spacer) to address these problems. Our results indicate that Heptacodium is sister to Caprifolieae, Triosteum is sister to the remaining genera within the tribe, and Leycesteria and Symphoricarpos form a clade that is sister to a monophyletic Lonicera. Within Lonicera, the major split is between subgenus Caprifolium and subgenus Lonicera. Within subgenus Lonicera, sections Coeloxylosteum, Isoxylosteum, and Nintooa are nested within the paraphyletic section Isika. Section Nintooa may also be non-monophyletic.

These were analyzed in combination with pre- viously published sequences for both regions. In addition, sequence data from the entire ndhF gene, the trnL-F intergenic spacer region,the trnL intron,the matK region, and the rbcL-atpB intergenic spacer region were col- lected for 30 taxa within Dipsacales. Phylogenetic relationships were inferred using maximum parsimony and maximum likelihood methods. Inferred tree topologies are in strong agreement with previous results from sep- arate and combined analyses of rbcL and morpholo gy, and confidence in most major clades is now very high. Concerning controversial issues, we conclude that Dipsacales in the traditional sense is a monophyletic group and that Triplostegia is more closely related to Dipsacaceae than it is to Valerianaceae. Heptacodium is only weakly supported as the sister group of the Caprifolieae (within which relationships remain largely unresolved), and the exact position of Diervilleae is uncertain. Within Morinaceae, Acanthocalyx is the sister group of Morina plus Cryptothladia. Dipsacales now provides excellent opportunities for comparative studies, but it will be important to check the congruence of chloroplast results with those based on data from other genomes.
