  • THE Magnoliaceae Liriodendron L. Magnolia L
    THE Magnoliaceae Liriodendron L. Magnolia L. VEGETATIVE KEY TO SPECIES IN CULTIVATION Jan De Langhe (1 October 2014 - 28 May 2015) Vegetative identification key. Introduction: This key is based on vegetative characteristics, and therefore also of use when flowers and fruits are absent. - Use a 10× hand lens to evaluate stipular scars, buds and pubescence in general. - Look at the entire plant. Young specimens, shade, and strong shoots give an atypical view. - Beware of hybridisation, especially with plants raised from seed other than wild origin. Taxa treated in this key: see page 10.

  • A Note on Magnolia, Mainly of Sections Manglietia and Michelia Subgenus
    A note on Magnolia, mainly of sections Manglietia and Michelia subgenus Magnolia (Magnoliaceae) A note of caution concerning the ultimate heights that may be achieved in cultivation by numerous of the newer evergreen magnolias from Asia, is the theme of this article by CHRIS CALLAGHAN and S. K. PNG of the Australian Bicentennial Arboretum (ABA). Following Thomas Methuen-Campbell’s interesting report in the 2011 IDS Yearbook concerning the study weekend held in June of that year at RHS Wisley, Surrey, to discuss “summer” flowering magnolias (see Endnote), the authors thought they should write to mention an important consideration before contemplating planting of these trees in gardens, or indeed any tree in a garden, particularly the average small garden. We are not sure if the ultimate size of many of these magnolias was discussed with those attending the study weekend, since most of their maximum known heights were not mentioned in the article. However, we believe any readers tempted by the article to purchase and plant out most of the evergreen magnolias featured (previously in the genera Manglietia, Michelia or Parakmeria) in a normal suburban front or backyard in relatively 46 warm, sheltered, near frost-free areas, will be ultimately dismayed by the sizes they reach (see Figlar 2009 for reasons behind the reduction of genera). Even allowing that these predominantly warm-temperate to sub-tropical forest trees may not achieve their maximum potential sizes in the milder regions of temperate Europe, most are still likely to overtop (and overshadow!) two or three storey homes or apartments, especially with a warming climate.

  • Molecular Validation of a Morphological Character for Distinguishing Between the Armored Scale Insects Chionaspis Pinifoliae
    SYSTEMATICS Molecular Validation of a Morphological Character for Distinguishing Between the Armored Scale Insects Chionaspis pinifoliae and Chionaspis heterophyllae (Hemiptera: Diaspididae) DOMINIC E. PHILPOTT, STEWART H. BERLOCHER, ROBERT F. MITCHELL, AND LAWRENCE M. HANKS1 Department of Entomology, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Urbana, IL 61801 Ann. Entomol. Soc. Am. 102(3): 381Ð385 (2009) ABSTRACT The armored scale insects Chionaspis pinifoliae (Fitch) and Chionaspis heterophyllae Cooley (Hemiptera: Diaspididae) overlap broadly in host range and geographic distribution and are so similar in morphology that they can be distinguished only by a subtle morphological character of the adult females: the form of the median pygidial lobes. However, this character is quite variable for both species. We used allozyme electrophoresis and DNA sequencing of a region that included the mitochondrial genes COI and COII to determine whether two species really exist and, if so, whether the morphology of the pygidial lobes is a reliable character to use to discriminate between them. Material for genetic analysis was collected as third instar females from Þve Illinois populations of each species (as identiÞed by morphology of the pygidial lobes). Chionaspis species were difÞcult to analyze electrophoretically, but Þxed allelic differences were found at three allozyme loci: malic acid dehy- drogenase (Mdh), phosphoglucose isomerase (Pgi), and an esterase (Est). The 572-bp (alignment length) mitochondrial region was invariant within species but differed between the species for both base substitutions (p-distance ϭ 0.091) and insertion-deletion differences. Estimated divergence time was at least 3.8 million yr. The consistent absence of heterozygotes at the three allozyme loci and the large mitochondrial sequence difference conÞrms that the morphology of the pygidial lobes is a reliable and convenient character for identifying C.

Botanical gardens have certain features that distinguish them from pleasure gardens and public parks. These include a scientific basis for collections, an emphasis on recording data on the plants in the collection, exchanging plant materials

    WEB-INTEGRATED TAXONOMY AND SYSTEMATICS OF THE PARASITIC WASP FAMILY SIGNIPHORIDAE (HYMENOPTERA, CHALCIDOIDEA) A Dissertation by ANAMARIA DAL MOLIN Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, James B. Woolley Committee Members, Mariana Mateos Raul F. Medina Robert A. Wharton John M. Heraty Head of Department, David Ragsdale December 2014 Major Subject: Entomology Copyright 2014 Anamaria Dal Molin ABSTRACT This work focuses on the taxonomy and systematics of parasitic wasps of the family Signiphoridae (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea), a relatively small family of chalcidoid wasps, with 79 described valid species in 4 genera: Signiphora Ashmead, Clytina Erdös, Chartocerus Motschulsky and Thysanus Walker. A phylogenetic analysis of the internal relationships in Signiphoridae, a discussion of its supra-specific classification based on DNA sequences of the 18S rDNA, 28S rDNA and COI genes, and taxonomic studies on the genera Clytina, Thysanus and Chartocerus are presented. In the phylogenetic analyses, all genera except Clytina were recovered as monophyletic. The classification into subfamilies was not supported. Out of the four currently recognized species groups in Signiphora, only the Signiphora flavopalliata species group was supported. The taxonomic work was conducted using advanced digital imaging, content management systems, having in sight the online delivery of taxonomic information. The evolution of changes in the taxonomic workflow and dissemination of results are reviewed and discussed in light of current bioinformatics. The species of Thysanus and Clytina are revised and redescribed, including documentation of type material. Four new species of Thysanus and one of Clytina are described.
