The broms think that it is still mid-autumn and many are still holding their summer colours, and the new pups are getting larger. I have taken the pup off Neo ‘Freddie’ in the hope that it will throw a few more. Our Annual Show is on November 11 & 12 at a new venue, the N G Wishart Senior Citizens Centre, 964 Nepean Highway, Moorabbin. Now is the time to start looking for broms to prepare for the show. Please send me your contributions for ‘From a Member’s Garden’, as members love to see and hear how your broms are going, and any other articles, large or small, to share with BSV members. It may be a single brom, a collection, or your latest brom- related construction project.

Peter Tristram www.bromeliads.com.au 3 BSV PRESIDENT’S REPORT Hi Members, As I write this it is a beautiful day outside and all I want to do is get out there and potter around the garden. These are autumn days that I treasure because I can work all day in the garden and not get too hot or tired. Well maybe tired but I push myself through the tiredness because there is always something else I want to get done before I go inside to recuperate. Many of my Aechmeas have come into flower this autumn which adds spikes of colour to the garden but what I’m most excited about is the flowering of my Vriesea intermedia (photo). I bought this plant from a nursery in Western Sydney more than 10 years ago and although it has produced many pups, this is the first time that I’ve had one send up a spike. I’m not expecting the spike to be particularly spectacular but I feel a sense of achievement that it has reached its full potential. Never give up on your bromeliads. The May Field Day was held at the Melbourne University System Garden. We were very fortunate to have Tim Uebergang, the Horticultural Curator to provide us with a guided tour of the garden. There was a distinct lack of bromeliads but there were plenty of other amazing plants to keep us entertained. I’d like to thank Tim for giving up his Sunday afternoon to provide us with a wonderful tour. At our April BSV meeting Chris Larson provided part two of his series of short talks on name changes to our bromeliads. We then had a presentation by Jane Baker and Len Murray on ‘Sunnybroms’, the 2017 Bromeliad Conference on the Sunshine Coast. Since that meeting I’ve read articles on both the renaming process and Sunnybroms so they are clearly hot topics of conversation. Thanks Chris, Jane and Len for entertaining and enlightening us at the meeting. The next meeting is on Wednesday, 28th June and I encourage everyone to bring in some plants for sale and show. Neoregelias may be losing their colour with the shorter daylight hours but I’m sure there will still be plenty of flowering Tillandsias, Aechmeas and other genera for the display tables. Also don’t forget to bring something to share for supper as the colder nights will stimulate our need for sustenance. We currently have no Field Day for July. If you would like to offer your place for the afternoon of 23 July or know of a suitable venue that we could visit, then please contact someone from the BSV Committee and we’ll organise it.

Chris Larson entertained us again with some more information on hybrids before Len Murray and Jane Baker together presented an illustrated talk on their recent adventure to the Queensland Sunny Broms Convention. Thanks to all of you for a lovely evening. RESULTS OF THE POPULAR VOTE TILLANDSIAS: Tillandsia kalmbacheri a 40cm wide by 70cm tall lime green plant with a heavy pinkish, lime-tipped bract with eight branches of lime petalled flowers won for Geoff Beech from strong competition. Certainly an eye catching plant, Geoff! (right) INDOOR/GLASSHOUSE GROWN: With 2 plants of Vriesea dubia this pot of bright green foliage with two red bracts tipped with yellow flowers about 45 cm tall, narrowly won the day for Geoff Beech from eight other plants that won votes… and… (left) OUTDOOR/SHADEHOUSE GROWN: It was Geoff Beech’s night for he again took the honours here, this time with Aechmea apocalyptica in a variegated form. This hanger of 3 mature and three stolonised pups of green with cream edges on the foliage held two vermillion bracts of rich purple flowers. Well done Geoff! (right) NOVICE: no entries, but we hope for some at the June meeting. ARRANGEMENT: a cute potted cluster of deep red with pink central stripe of Cryptanthus ‘Ruby’ was contrasted with a lime green feathery fern in this arrangement by Robert Mather. It was set off by a couple of flat grey stones to complete a pleasant presentation. (right) When preparing your treasures for the winter be sure to watch out for some entries for our June meeting show bench and ensure you bring them along. We love to see them! Happy Growing, Bev 6 DISCUSSION GROUP MEETINGS The Discussion Group will meet Wednesday 21 June, 2017 at the Kevin Heinze Garden Centre, 39 Wetherby Rd, Doncaster, at 8 pm. The discussion

  • Bromeliaceae) Species from Peru
    Phytotaxa 49: 29–33 (2012) ISSN 1179-3155 (print edition) www.mapress.com/phytotaxa/ PHYTOTAXA Copyright © 2012 Magnolia Press Article ISSN 1179-3163 (online edition) A remarkable new Pitcairnia (Bromeliaceae) species from Peru ERIC J. GOUDA1 & RICARDO FERNÁNDEZ G.2 1Botanic Gardens, University of Utrecht (U), Budapestlaan 17, P.O.Box 80162, 3584 HD Utrecht, Netherlands. E-mail: [email protected] 2Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos (USM), Museo de Historia Natural, Casilla 14-0434, Lima 14, Peru. Abstract A new species of Pitcairnia subgenus Pepinia (Pitcairnioideae) is described and illustrated here. Pitcairnia floresii sp. nov. has been found in the Department San Martín of Peru and is locally abundant. Key words: Flora of Peru, Pepinia, taxonomy Introduction This remarkable new Pitcairnia species with linear-lanceolate leaf blades and its red inflorescence with bright yellow flowers is rather common in the Central Huallaga River Valley area. The famous collector Richard Spruce was in this area in 1855 (León et al. 2003: 112), but as far as known no specimen of this species was preserved, nor was it collected afterwards. Another Pitcairnia, P. calatheoides Smith (1937: 24) has been described from the very same area, but is not closely related. The latter species has very long petiolate oblanceolate leaf blades and large orange petals. Mr. Alberto Flores, a farmer from Pucacaca, brought this beautiful species to our attention. From our study of Bromeliaceae of Peru several new species were recently described (Gouda & Manzanares 2008, Gouda 2012). The descriptive terminology of Scharf & Gouda (2008) is followed here.

GIVNISH,1 KENDRA C. MILLAM,PAUL E. BERRY, AND KENNETH J. SYTSMA Department of Botany, University of Wisconsin, Madison, Wisconsin 53706, USA 1Corresponding author ([email protected]) ABSTRACT Cladistic analysis of ndhF sequences identifies eight major bromeliad clades arranged in ladderlike fashion. The traditional subfamilies Tillandsioideae and Bromelioideae are monophyletic, but Pitcair- nioideae are paraphyletic, requiring the description of four new subfamilies, recircumscription of Pit- cairnioideae and Navioideae, the sinking of Ayensua, and description of the new genus Sequencia. Brocchinioideae are basalmost, followed by Lindmanioideae, both restricted to the Guayana Shield. Next is an unresolved trichotomy involving Hechtioideae from Central America, Tillandsioideae, and the remaining bromeliads in subfamilies Navioideae, Pitcairnioideae, Puyoideae, and Bromelioideae. Bromeliads arose as C3 terrestrial plants on moist infertile sites in the Guayana Shield roughly 70 Mya, spread centripetally in the New World, and reached tropical West Africa (Pitcairnia feliciana) via long-distance dispersal about 10 Mya. Modern lineages began to diverge from each other 19 Mya and invaded drier areas in Central and South America beginning 15 Mya, coincident with a major adaptive radiation involving the repeated evolution of epiphytism, CAM photosynthesis, impounding leaves, several features of leaf/trichome anatomy, and accelerated diversification at the generic level. This ‘‘bromeliad revolution’’ occurred after the uplift of the northern Andes and shift of the Amazon to its present course. Epiphytism may have accelerated speciation by increasing ability to colonize along the length of the Andes, while favoring the occupation of a cloud-forest landscape frequently dissected by drier valleys.

  • Nuclear Genes, Matk and the Phylogeny of the Poales
    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2018 Nuclear genes, matK and the phylogeny of the Poales Hochbach, Anne ; Linder, H Peter ; Röser, Martin Abstract: Phylogenetic relationships within the monocot order Poales have been well studied, but sev- eral unrelated questions remain. These include the relationships among the basal families in the order, family delimitations within the restiid clade, and the search for nuclear single-copy gene loci to test the relationships based on chloroplast loci. To this end two nuclear loci (PhyB, Topo6) were explored both at the ordinal level, and within the Bromeliaceae and the restiid clade. First, a plastid reference tree was inferred based on matK, using 140 taxa covering all APG IV families of Poales, and analyzed using parsimony, maximum likelihood and Bayesian methods. The trees inferred from matK closely approach the published phylogeny based on whole-plastome sequencing. Of the two nuclear loci, Topo6 supported a congruent, but much less resolved phylogeny. By contrast, PhyB indicated different phylo- genetic relationships, with, inter alia, Mayacaceae and Typhaceae sister to Poaceae, and Flagellariaceae in a basally branching position within the Poales. Within the restiid clade the differences between the three markers appear less serious. The Anarthria clade is first diverging in all analyses, followed by Restionoideae, Sporadanthoideae, Centrolepidoideae and Leptocarpoideae in the matK and Topo6 data, but in the PhyB data Centrolepidoideae diverges next, followed by a paraphyletic Restionoideae with a clade consisting of the monophyletic Sporadanthoideae and Leptocarpoideae nested within them. The Bromeliaceae phylogeny obtained from Topo6 is insufficiently sampled to make reliable statements, but indicates a good starting point for further investigations.
