MDCCCXXXVII. rf lino Mtf~ fa TO HIS MAJESTY LEOPOLD, KING OF THE BELGIANS. Sir, My recollection of many interesting conversations with your Majesty on botanical and horticultural topics assures me, that the subject of this work, however inadequately treated, will not fail to be interesting to your Majesty, not withstanding the important occupations of your present ex alted station. I am induced by a sense of the unvarying kindness shewn to me by your Majesty, while resident in this country, to inscribe this volume, with your gracious per mission, to your Majesty, and to subscribe myself respectfully, with every wish for the prosperity of your Majesty and your kingdom, Your Majesty's Most grateful And obedient humble Servant, WILLIAM HERBERT. Spojforth, December 26, 1836. ADVERTISEMENT. The receipt of a fresh supply of valuable specimens, for which I am indebted to Sir W. Hooker, after the printing of the body of this work had been completed, has enabled me to add amongst the supplemental observations the description of several fine plants before unknown. The supplemental articles have been arranged in alphabetical order, as the most conve nient for reference, and it will be apparent what place each ad ditional plant should occupy in the consecutive arrangement. The reader is particularly requested to refer from Alstrcemeria, Bomarea, Crinum, Habranthus, Haemanthus, Hermione, Hip- peastrum, Oporanthus, and Sternebergia to the Supplement. From each of the magnificent umbels of additional species of Bomarea, I could only afford space to represent a single flower and leaf, which will be sufficient to facilitate their identification. The publisher having been desirous of offering some copies to the public with coloured plates, it must be understood that, where no live specimen has been seen in this country, and no precise memorandum of the colours has been given by the collector, the plates could only be made to represent the existing tints of the dry specimens, which are in many cases very fallacious. Those who have been accus tomed to examine dry specimens, will however be able to form a better judgment by seeing what the existing colours are. It is my intention, as opportunities may occur, to prepare memoranda for rectifying and supplying the deficiencies of this work, and any communications relating to it, if left for me free of expense at the publishers, will be attended to thankfully. Any dry specimens, seeds, or roots, of newly introduced Amaryllidaceous plants, especially from the b vi ADVERTISEMENT. Western hemisphere, will be gratefully received. Crinum Forbesianum, Amar. grandiflora, Brunsv. striata, minor, ra- dula, Nerine marginata, Strumaria, Hessea, Imhofia, Carpo- lyza, and Pane. Canariense amongst the African, Sterneber- gia, Erinosma (Leucojum) Carpathicum, Lapiedra, Vagaria, Tapeinanthus, Hermione elegans, serotina, Queltia juncifolia, pumila, pusilla, Ganymedes cernuus (triandrus), capax, and reflexus, seed of Q. foetida, odora, montana, Maclaeana, are more particularly wanting to me amongst the species of the Old World. The reference to the figures of Pancratium Cambayense and longiflorum, pl. 42, is omitted by accident, p. 207-8, but is marked in the index. The Glossary, for the use of un learned readers, will be found at p. 417. I have not thought it adviseable to load this work with voluminous quotations and references to old works, which the reader would probably not be desirous of consulting. It will be understood that, where I have not expressed the contrary, I mean to assent to the synonyms and references given by the modern writers who have treated of the several plants de scribed, especially Reaumer and Schultes, and the editors of the Bot. Mag. and Reg. It has been suggested to me to extend my labours to Iri- daceae, and perhaps to Liliaceae, and ultimately embrace the whole hexapetaloid portion of agynandrous exspadiceous plants. I doubt whether I shall have sufficient leisure, and it remains to be seen whether the reception of this work will encourage the publisher, who has liberally promoted it, to any further undertaking; and indeed, whether I can obtain access to the plants it would be necessary to investigate ; but, if those who may possess them will assist me in that respect, I am not indisposed to make preparations for the accomplish ment of such a work.

EXPLANATION OF TERMS. As these pages are intended for the use and assistance of the unlearned cultivator, as well as for the edification of the scientific, I wish to premise a few words concerning some terms which will be used in them. It has been justly con sidered that, in plants which, like the Amaryllideae, have no calyx, the outer divisions or segments of the flower stand in lieu of calyx, and the inner of corolla, and such a flower is called a perianth, the outer or calycine segments sepals, the inner or corolline segments petals. The number of filaments being equal to those segments at or below the base of which they are usually inserted, I propose to call those which belong to the outer segments the sepaline filaments, and those which belong to the inner the petaline filaments. I find a great laxity in the language of botanists in defining flowers which have a tubular appearance, though perhaps no tube at all, which they call indiscriminately tubular, tubulosi, so that it cannot be ascertained from their definitions whether the peri anth is really tubular or divided to the base. I propose to rectify this by the following appropriation of distinct terms; tubatus, tubed or having a tube, whether long or short ; tubu- losus, long-tubed ; tubiformis, tube-shaped, or having the sem blance of a tube ; tubaeformis, trumpet-shaped : and I hope that such a necessary distinction may be observed in all fu ture definitions. I find also that it is not possible from the definitions of any botanist to ascertain with certainty whether a perianth is really divided or not, as they are in the habit of calling flowers trifid or six-cleft, tripartite or sexpartite, of which the segments are connected at the base ; I shall call the perianth sexpartite where the segments are unconnected, deeply B 2 EXPLANATION OF TERMS. cleft where there is an annular union, and I consider a mere annular union of the base to be scarcely a tube. In plants which are only known to me by the description of others, I cannot ascertain the fact, in consequence of the laxity of their expressions. Latin adjectives in osus always signify an excess of the quality; such words have been greatly misapplied by botanists, and I erred in naming a plant in the Botanical Re gister Pharium fistulosum, which must be called P. fistulatum, for fistulosum really means either full of pores like a sponge, or having one enormous pore. I shall use such words strictly, ex. gr. Spadicosus having a large spadix ; spadiceus or spa- dicatus having a spadix. Dr. Lindley has unfortunately made an extensive use of the termination osus, which it is very necessary to rectify. The termination inns may be conveniently substituted to answer his purpose; but the subversion of latinity by the misuse of a termination which has a decided meaning is very objectionable. We are forced to create mon grel Latin to express what the Romans never thought of ex pressing, but we should write correct Latin where we can ; on which account I protest against the use, too frequent amongst botanists, of Mis and eis for those with a genitive following, as semina illis Amaryllidis conformis instead of semina Ama- ryllidi conformis or conformia.

    WELCOME TO THE ALPINE GARDEN SOCIETY’S 60th SEED LIST 2011-12 Please read through these notes and also the notes on the back of the order forms before completing the forms. The main distribution will begin in December and will continue into the new year. The seeds offered originate from various sources and cannot be guaranteed true to name. Neither The Alpine Garden Society nor any official of the Society can be held responsible for what is supplied. Members are reminded that named cultivars and hybrids cannot be relied upon to come true, and plants raised from seed from cultivars should not be labelled with the names of those cultivars. Seeds of many species are in short supply and we can never have enough to meet all requests. Members who request very rare or popular species must realise that they are likely to be disappointed and are advised to spread their requests throughout a variety of seeds on the list. Surplus seeds are those remaining after all applications for main distribution seeds have been met. Please see the notes on the back of the order form for futher information. On-line ordering will again be offered this year. You will be able to view the seed list, make your selections, order and pay for your seed order on line. We will take care to ensure parity between on line ordering and postal ordering so neither system will get priority. Please go to http://www.alpinegardensociety.net/seed/exchange/ and follow the instructions on the page.

PhytoKeys 119: 117–136. https://doi.org/10.3897/phytokeys.119.30790 Abstract A new species, Allium albanicum, is described and illustrated from Albania (Balkan Peninsula). It grows on serpentines or limestone in open rocky stands with a scattered distribution, mainly in mountain loca- tions. Previously, the populations of this geophyte were attributed to A. meteoricum Heldr. & Hausskn. ex Halácsy, described from a few localities of North and Central Greece. These two species indeed show close relationships, chiefly regarding some features of the spathe valves, inflorescence and floral parts. They also share the same diploid chromosome number 2n =16 and similar karyotype, while seed testa micro- sculptures and leaf anatomy reveal remarkable differences.

  • Complete Chloroplast Genomes Shed Light on Phylogenetic
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Complete chloroplast genomes shed light on phylogenetic relationships, divergence time, and biogeography of Allioideae (Amaryllidaceae) Ju Namgung1,4, Hoang Dang Khoa Do1,2,4, Changkyun Kim1, Hyeok Jae Choi3 & Joo‑Hwan Kim1* Allioideae includes economically important bulb crops such as garlic, onion, leeks, and some ornamental plants in Amaryllidaceae. Here, we reported the complete chloroplast genome (cpDNA) sequences of 17 species of Allioideae, fve of Amaryllidoideae, and one of Agapanthoideae. These cpDNA sequences represent 80 protein‑coding, 30 tRNA, and four rRNA genes, and range from 151,808 to 159,998 bp in length. Loss and pseudogenization of multiple genes (i.e., rps2, infA, and rpl22) appear to have occurred multiple times during the evolution of Alloideae. Additionally, eight mutation hotspots, including rps15-ycf1, rps16-trnQ-UUG, petG-trnW-CCA , psbA upstream, rpl32- trnL-UAG , ycf1, rpl22, matK, and ndhF, were identifed in the studied Allium species. Additionally, we present the frst phylogenomic analysis among the four tribes of Allioideae based on 74 cpDNA coding regions of 21 species of Allioideae, fve species of Amaryllidoideae, one species of Agapanthoideae, and fve species representing selected members of Asparagales. Our molecular phylogenomic results strongly support the monophyly of Allioideae, which is sister to Amaryllioideae. Within Allioideae, Tulbaghieae was sister to Gilliesieae‑Leucocoryneae whereas Allieae was sister to the clade of Tulbaghieae‑ Gilliesieae‑Leucocoryneae. Molecular dating analyses revealed the crown age of Allioideae in the Eocene (40.1 mya) followed by diferentiation of Allieae in the early Miocene (21.3 mya). The split of Gilliesieae from Leucocoryneae was estimated at 16.5 mya.

Relationships Scadoxus Raf.) and Clivia Lindl. in the tribe among the Clivia species are not in agreement with Amaryllidiformes, while Gethyllis was classi- a previous published phylogeny.

Address for correspondence: Nicolás García, [email protected] DOI https://doi.org/10.1002/tax.12062 Abstract A robust generic classification for Amaryllidaceae has remained elusive mainly due to the lack of unequivocal diagnostic characters, a consequence of highly canalized variation and a deeply reticulated evolutionary history. A consensus classification is pro- posed here, based on recent molecular phylogenetic studies, morphological and cytogenetic variation, and accounting for secondary criteria of classification, such as nomenclatural stability. Using the latest sutribal classification of Hippeastreae (Hippeastrinae and Traubiinae) as a foundation, we propose the recognition of six genera, namely Eremolirion gen. nov., Hippeastrum, Phycella s.l., Rhodolirium s.str., Traubia, and Zephyranthes s.l. A subgeneric classification is suggested for Hippeastrum and Zephyranthes to denote putative subclades.
