(Salicaceae) George W. Argus Canadian Museum of Nature, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Email: [email protected] Received: 28 February 2017 | Accepted by: Irina Belyaeva 3 April 2021 | Published online: 7 April 2021 Edited by: Irina Belyaeva, Keith Chamberlain, Yulia Kuzovkina Abstract This bibliography comprises references to publications related to the genus Salix. The list was compiled by the author during his scientific career. The main focus of the list is on references related to willow nomenclature and taxonomy, but it also covers other biological aspects of the genus Salix and related genera. References are listed in alphabetical and chronological order. The titles of books and articles are given in full and checked against WordCat (2021). The names of journals are abbreviated according to Botanico-Periodicum-Huntiarum (BPH, 2021), the names of periodicals absent from BPH are marked with asterisks. This list was completed by the author in 2016 but has been much revised and checked by the editors of Skvortsovia since then. Keywords: bibliographic references, nomenclature, morphology, taxonomy, phylogenetics, Salix (Salicaceae) Introduction References mainly pertain to Salix L. This list was transcribed from hundreds of hand-written or typed index cards written by me or, sometimes, by my assistants. As this was done over many years and because some of the handwritten cards were difficult to read some typographical errors may have been introduced. The original cards were discarded after transcription and proofreading. Citations were standardized by the editors to conform with the journal’s style. It is my hope that this compilation may help botanists studying the genus Salix, especially researchers for whom library facilities and biological databases are not easily available. 1 List of Salix L.

    Poplars and Willows: Trees for Society and the Environment / Edited by J.G

    Poplars and Willows Trees for Society and the Environment This volume is respectfully dedicated to the memory of Victor Steenackers. Vic, as he was known to his friends, was born in Weelde, Belgium, in 1928. His life was devoted to his family – his wife, Joanna, his 9 children and his 23 grandchildren. His career was devoted to the study and improve- ment of poplars, particularly through poplar breeding. As Director of the Poplar Research Institute at Geraardsbergen, Belgium, he pursued a lifelong scientific interest in poplars and encouraged others to share his passion. As a member of the Executive Committee of the International Poplar Commission for many years, and as its Chair from 1988 to 2000, he was a much-loved mentor and powerful advocate, spreading scientific knowledge of poplars and willows worldwide throughout the many member countries of the IPC. This book is in many ways part of the legacy of Vic Steenackers, many of its contributing authors having learned from his guidance and dedication. Vic Steenackers passed away at Aalst, Belgium, in August 2010, but his work is carried on by others, including mem- bers of his family.

    Plant Sociology, Vol. 51, No. 2, December 2014, pp. 83-116 DOI 10.7338/pls2014512/06 The dolina system vegetation of the northern glacio-karst sector of the Asiago Plateau (Venetian Prealps – NE Italy) L. Giovagnoli1, S. Tasinazzo2 1Via Orione 14, I-36055, Nove (VI), Italy. 2Via Gioberti 6, I-36100, Vicenza, Italy. Abstract The paper describes the glacio-karst basin and dolina vegetation of the subcontinental enclave in the northern sector of the Asiago Plateau (south- eastern Prealps). Eleven associations were recognized in the lowest parts of dolina systems where the snow melting is delayed and exclusively chamaephytic/hemicryptophytic coenoses develop. They belong to Arabidion caeruleae, Caricion ferrugineae, Loiseleurio-Vaccinion, Nardion strictae, Oxytropido-Elynion, Seslerion variae and Sodanello alpinae-Salicion retusae alliances. Two new coenoses are described: Salicetum reticu- lato-breviserratae and Salici reticulatae-Caricetum rupestris. Some new geographical variants are proposed too. The high phytogeographic value of this calcareous prealpine plateau characterized by relict tundra vegetation surviving the more thermophilous phases that followed the Last Glacial Maximum is proved. Key words: Asiago Plateau, Carici rupestris-Kobresietea bellardii, Elyno-Seslerietea, glacio-karst system, Juncetea trifidi, Loiseleurio-Vaccinietea, south-eastern Prealps, Thlaspietea rotundifolii Introduction Study area The Asiago Plateau is one of the largest and most The Asiago Plateau lies between the Veneto Region articulated limestone mountain in the context of the and the Province of Trento and covers a total area of Venetian Prealps (north-eastern Italy).

After introductions and some background to the geology and floral elements in the Burren from Brian (stressing the Mediterranean component of the flora after a day’s Mediterranean heat and sun), we made our way to the Rathbaun, for some substantial and tasty local food and our first taste of Irish music from the three young ladies of Ceolan, and their energetic four-hour performance (not sure any of us had the stamina to stay to the end). Day 2: 8th June: Poulsallach At 9am we were collected by Tony, our driver from Glynn’s Coaches for the week, and following a half-hour drive we arrived at a coastal stretch of species-rich limestone pavement which represented the perfect introduction to the Burren’s flora: a stunningly beautiful mix of coastal, Mediterranean, Atlantic and Arctic-Alpine species gathered together uniquely in a natural rock garden. First impressions were of patchy grassland, sparkling with heath spotted- orchids Dactylorhiza maculata ericetorum and drifts of the ubiquitous and glowing-purple bloody crane’s-bill Geranium sanguineum, between bare rock. A closer look revealed a diverse and colourful tapestry of dozens of flowers - the yellows of goldenrod Solidago virgaurea, kidney-vetch Anthyllis vulneraria, and bird’s-foot trefoil Lotus corniculatus (and its attendant common blue butterflies Polyommatus Icarus), pink splashes of wild thyme Thymus polytrichus and the hairy local subspecies of lousewort Pedicularis sylvatica ssp.

    Cultivated Willows Would Not Be Appropriate Without Mention of the ‘WEEPING WILLOW’

    Alexander Robertson Notes on willows cultivated in Scotland and a few sketches of willows sampled from my clonal collection HISTORICAL NOTES Since the knowledge of willows is of great antiquity, it is with the ancient Greeks and Romans we shall begin, for among these people numerous written records remain. The growth habit, ecology, cultivation and utilization of willows was well— understood by Theophrastus, Ovid, Herodotus, Pliny and Dioscorides. Virgil was also quite familiar with willow, e.g. Damoetas complains that: “Galatea, saucy girl, pelts me with apples and then runs off to the willows”. ECLOGIJE III and of foraging bees: “Far and wide they feed on arbutus, pale-green willows, on cassia and ruddy crocus .. .“ GEORGICS IV Theophrastus of Eresos (370—285 B.C.) discussed many aspects of willows throughout his Enquiry into Plants including habitats, wood quality, coppicing and a variety of uses. Willows, according to Theophrastus are lovers of wet places and marshes. But he also notes certain amphibious traits of willows growing in mountains and plains. To Theophrastus they appeared to possess no fruits and quite adequately reproduced themselves from roots, were tolerant to flooding and frequent coppicing. “Even willows grow old and when they are cut, no matter at what height, they shoot up again.” He described the wood as cold, tough, light and resilient—qualities which made it useful for a variety of purposes, especially shields. Such were the diverse virtues of willow that he suggested introducing it for plant husbandry. Theophrastus noted there were many different kinds of willows; three of the best known being black willow (Salix fragilis), white willow (S.

    diversity Review The Evolutionary History, Diversity, and Ecology of Willows (Salix L.) in the European Alps Natascha D. Wagner 1 , Li He 2 and Elvira Hörandl 1,* 1 Department of Systematics, Biodiversity and Evolution of Plants (with Herbarium), University of Goettingen, Untere Karspüle 2, 37073 Göttingen, Germany; [email protected] 2 College of Forestry, Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University, Fuzhou 350002, China; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: The genus Salix (willows), with 33 species, represents the most diverse genus of woody plants in the European Alps. Many species dominate subalpine and alpine types of vegetation. Despite a long history of research on willows, the evolutionary and ecological factors for this species richness are poorly known. Here we will review recent progress in research on phylogenetic relation- ships, evolution, ecology, and speciation in alpine willows. Phylogenomic reconstructions suggest multiple colonization of the Alps, probably from the late Miocene onward, and reject hypotheses of a single radiation. Relatives occur in the Arctic and in temperate Eurasia. Most species are widespread in the European mountain systems or in the European lowlands. Within the Alps, species differ eco- logically according to different elevational zones and habitat preferences. Homoploid hybridization is a frequent process in willows and happens mostly after climatic fluctuations and secondary contact. Breakdown of the ecological crossing barriers of species is followed by introgressive hybridization. Polyploidy is an important speciation mechanism, as 40% of species are polyploid, including the four endemic species of the Alps. Phylogenomic data suggest an allopolyploid origin for all taxa analyzed Citation: Wagner, N.D.; He, L.; so far.

    Trees, Shrubs, and Perennials That Intrigue Me (Gymnosperms First

    Big-picture, evolutionary view of trees and shrubs (and a few of my favorite herbaceous perennials), ver. 2007-11-04 Descriptions of the trees and shrubs taken (stolen!!!) from online sources, from my own observations in and around Greenwood Lake, NY, and from these books: • Dirr’s Hardy Trees and Shrubs, Michael A. Dirr, Timber Press, © 1997 • Trees of North America (Golden field guide), C. Frank Brockman, St. Martin’s Press, © 2001 • Smithsonian Handbooks, Trees, Allen J. Coombes, Dorling Kindersley, © 2002 • Native Trees for North American Landscapes, Guy Sternberg with Jim Wilson, Timber Press, © 2004 • Complete Trees, Shrubs, and Hedges, Jacqueline Hériteau, © 2006 They are generally listed from most ancient to most recently evolved. (I’m not sure if this is true for the rosids and asterids, starting on page 30. I just listed them in the same order as Angiosperm Phylogeny Group II.) This document started out as my personal landscaping plan and morphed into something almost unwieldy and phantasmagorical. Key to symbols and colored text: Checkboxes indicate species and/or cultivars that I want. Checkmarks indicate those that I have (or that one of my neighbors has). Text in blue indicates shrub or hedge. (Unfinished task – there is no text in blue other than this text right here.) Text in red indicates that the species or cultivar is undesirable: • Out of range climatically (either wrong zone, or won’t do well because of differences in moisture or seasons, even though it is in the “right” zone). • Will grow too tall or wide and simply won’t fit well on my property.
