Number 7, Spring 1999 Planning and planting for a better world Friends of the JC Raulston Arboretum Newsletter Number 7, Spring 1999 York Challenge Announced at Gala On May 2, 672 revelers streamed through the Arboretum to celebrate the 1999 Gala in the Garden. They shopped at the hat boutique to capture designer creations by Susan Stephenson. They vied for the fantasy bird houses decorating the paths and the tables. They competed hotly for items in the silent auction, strolled the garden, and settled in for a dinner under the big top. The spired white tent, rising from a floor constructed over the annual trial gardens, allowed all the gala guests to dine together Lib and Willie York and their daughter, Phyllis Brookshire, for the first time since the gala’s enjoy a moment under the arbor in the Finley Rose Garden. inception.

  • Phylogenetic Relationships of Brassicaceae Species Based on Matk Sequences
    Pak. J. Bot., 44(2): 619-626, 2012. PHYLOGENETIC RELATIONSHIPS OF BRASSICACEAE SPECIES BASED ON MATK SEQUENCES LEI LIU1, BO ZHAO1, DUNYAN TAN2 AND JIANBO WANG1* 1 Key Laboratory of the MOE for Plant Development Biology, College of Life Sciences, Wuhan University, Wuhan, 430072, China 2 College of Forestry Science, Xinjiang Agricultural University, Orumqi, 830052, China *Corresponding author E-mail address: [email protected] Abstract The chloroplast gene matK, located in the intron of chloroplast trnK, encodes maturase, and variations of matK provide substantial resolution for phylogenetic analyses at intergeneric levels. Sequence data from 127 species (including subspecies and varieties) of Brassicaceae and one outgroup specie (Cleome gynandra) were used to construct the phylogeny of this family and elucidate the phylogenetic relationships therein using the neighbor-joining, maximum parsimony, and maximum likelihood methods. The phylogenetic results generally confirmed recently established tribal alignments and indicated that most of the 27 tribes were assigned to Lineages I–III. We found that the Orychophragmus violaceus complex, including O. violaceus, O. taibaiensis, O. hupehensis, and O. diffuses, which are native to China, should be subsumed under Lineage II, and was most closely associated with the tribe Brassiceae. Arabis was confirmed to be polyphyletic and one subclade shared a sister relationship with Boechereae, while A. alpine related species formed the other clade, which was not associated with any tribes. Previous analyses placed Conringia planisiliqua in tribe Brassiceae, but it was included within Isatideae in the current analyses, supporting previous hypotheses that it was a member of this tribe. Introduction analyses (Franzke et al., 2009; Couvreur et al., 2010), which used a molecular clock model to estimate the age Brassicaceae comprises a large family with members of the family as well as that of the major lineages and distributed worldwide; most are distributed in the tribes.

  • 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

First of all, I would like to thank my supervisors Axel Dalberg Poulsen, Charlotte Sletten Bjorå and Mark Newman for all help, patience and valuable input over the last 1.5 years, and especially the last couple of weeks. I could not have done this without you guys! Thanks to the approval of our research permit from the Forest Department in Sarawak, Axel and I were able to travel to Borneo and collect plants for my project. I would like to thank the Botanical Research Centre at Semenggoh Wildlife Centre in Sarawak, for all the help we got, and a special thanks goes to Julia, Ling and Vilma for planning and organizing the field trips for us. I would never have mastered the lab technics at Tøyen without good help and guideance from Audun. Thank you for answering my numerous questions so willingly. I would also like to thank My Hanh, Kjersti, Anette and Kine, for inviting me over for dinner and improving my draft and of course my fellow students at the botanical museum (Anne Marte, Karen and Øystein).

  • Fire Adaptations of Some Southern California Plants
    Proceedings: 7th Tall Timbers Fire Ecology Conference 1967 Fire Adaptations of Some Southern California Plants RICHARD J. VOGL Department of Botany California State College at Los Angeles Los Angeles, California SHORTLY after arriving in California six years ago, I was asked to give a biology seminar lecture on my research. This was the usual procedure with new faculty and I prepared a lecture on my fire research in Wisconsin (Vogi 1961). These seminars were open to the public, since the college serves the city and sur­ rounding communities. As I presented my findings, I became con­ scious of the glint of state and U. S. Forest Service uniforms in the back rows. These back rows literally erupted into a barrage of probing questions at the end of the lecture. The questions were somewhat skeptical and were intended to discredit. They admitted that I almost created an acceptable argument for the uses and effects of fire in the Midwest, but were quick to emphasize that they were certain that none of these concepts or principles of fire would apply out here in the West. I consider this first California Tall Timbers Fire Ecology Con­ ference a major step towards convincing the West that fire has helped shape its vegetation and is an important ecological factor here, just as it is in the Midwest, Southeast, or wherever in North 79 RICHARD J. VOGL America. I hope that southern Californians attending these meetings or reading these Proceedings are not left with the impression that the information presented might be acceptable for northern California but cannot be applied to southern California because the majority of contributors worked in the north.

  • NOTES Watsonia 25 (2005) NORTH WALES SPECIES of RUBUS L
    Watsonia 25: 289–298 (2005) NOTES Watsonia 25 (2005) 289 Notes NORTH WALES SPECIES OF RUBUS L. (ROSACEAE) IN THE ISLE OF WIGHT In 1982 two sizeable populations of Rubus effrenatus Newton, a species up till then (and still) otherwise known only in north-west Wales, v.cc. 46–49, were discovered in the Isle of Wight, v.c. 10, at a distance of 11 km from each other. One population is near the Island’s southernmost tip, mainly among bracken along a crescent of gravel overlying the chalk on the north face of Head Down but with an outlying patch in a deep ‘green lane’ about 1·4 km to the north-west. The other site is towards the Island’s south-east corner, along a much-frequented public footpath forming the north boundary of Sandown Golf Course, a relic fragment of a once-extensive tract of partly- wooded acid ground that constituted Blackpan and Lake Commons. The species is unrepresented in Rubus collections made in these two localities by 19th century specialists in the genus, and that negative evidence, taken together with a subjective impression that both populations have expanded slightly in the years since their discovery, could be interpreted as indicating a relatively recent arrival in each case (Allen 2003). Though the two may have had independent origins, it is equally possible that one population has been derived from the other – in which case that on Head Down seems the more likely to be the parent colony. In 2002–4 two successive finds of another Rubus species provided a near-duplicate of this very unexpected national distribution pattern.

  • Türkiye Florası'na Ait Hypericum L. Cinsinin Tehlike Kategorileri Ve Bulunan Yeni Türleri
    Yüzüncü Yıl Üniversitesi Fen Bilimleri Enstitüsü Dergisi/ Journal of The Institute of Natural & Applied Sciences 18 1-(2):62-69, 2013 Derleme/Review Türkiye Florası'na Ait Hypericum L. Cinsinin Tehlike Kategorileri ve Bulunan Yeni Türleri Yasemin Akgöz Dicle Üniversitesi, Fen Fakültesi, Biyoloji Bölümü, 21280, Diyarbakır Email: [email protected] ÖZET Türkiye 3 farklı flora bölgesine sahip olduğundan dolayı zengin bitki çeşitliliğine sahiptir. Bu zenginlik içinde tıbbi ve aromatik bitki türlerinin de ayrı önemi vardır. Bu bitkilerden biri de Hypericum L.’dir. Bu cinsin dünya genelinde 484 ülkemizde ise 100’e yakın türü doğal olarak bulunur. Bu bitkinin özellikle Ege ve Akdeniz Bölgesi’ndeki birçok türü tehlike kategorisine alınmıştır. Bu çalışmada Hypericum cinsinin 2000 yılı öncesi ile 2001 yılına kadar belirlenen tehlike kategorileri araştırılıp veriler karşılaştırılmıştır. Yeni verilere göre 2000 yılından sonra Türkiye Florası'na eklenen yeni türler ile tehlike durumları da belirlenip durum değerlendirmesi yapılmıştır. Güncel verilerde bitkinin özellikle Ege ve Akdeniz Bölgesi’ndeki birçok türünün tehlike altında olduğu, çoğu endemik olan 15 Hypericum türünün ise tehlike (EN) kategorisine alındığı tespit edilmiştir. Anahtar kelimeler: Hypericum, endemik, tehlike, Türkiye Florası. Hazard Categories and New Found Species of Hypericum L. Belonging to Flora of Turkey. ABSTRACT: Turkey has a rich diversity of plants because of having three different flora. In this diversity medicinal and aromatic plant species have special importance. Hypericum L. is one of this plants. This genus in the entire world closer to 484, and nearly 100 type is found naturally in our country. Many species of this plant, especially the Aegean and the Mediterranean regions are regarded as the category of danger.In this study data of hazard catagories of Hypericum indentified from 2000 to 2001 are compared.
