  • UPDATED 18Th February 2013
    7th February 2015 Welcome to my new seed trade list for 2014-15. 12, 13 and 14 in brackets indicates the harvesting year for the seed. Concerning seed quantity: as I don't have many plants of each species, seed quantity is limited in most cases. Therefore, for some species you may only get a few seeds. Many species are harvested in my garden. Others are surplus from trade and purchase. OUT: Means out of stock. Sometimes I sell surplus seed (if time allows), although this is unlikely this season. NB! Cultivars do not always come true. I offer them anyway, but no guarantees to what you will get! Botanical Name (year of harvest) NB! Traditional vegetables are at the end of the list with (mostly) common English names first.

  • Class Monocotyledonae
    ACORUS/ACORACEAE 1077 CLASS MONOCOTYLEDONAE Plants usually herbaceous—in other words, lacking regular secondary thickening (except Palmaceae, Smilacaceae, most Agavaceae, and a few Poaceae); seedlings usually with 1 seed leaf or cotyledon; stems or branches elongating by apical growth and also by growth of basal por- tion of internodes; leaves when present alternate, whorled, basal, or rarely opposite, elongating by basal growth (readily seen on spring-flowering bulbs whose leaf-tips have been frozen back); leaf blades usually with parallel or concentrically curved veins, these unbranched or with inconspicuous, short, transverse connectives (leaves net-veined or with prominent midrib and spreading side-veins parallel with each other in Alismataceae, Araceae, Smilacaceae, Marantaceae, and some Orchidaceae); perianth with dissimilar inner and outer whorls (petals and sepals), or all parts about alike (tepals), the parianth parts separate or united, commonly in 3s, less often in 2s, rarely in 5s, or perianth of scales or bristles, or entirely absent. AWorldwide, the Monocotyledonae is a group composed of ca. 55,800 species in 2,652 genera arranged in 84 families (Mabberley 1997); 25 of these families occur in nc TX. The monocots appear to be a well-supported monophyletic group derived from within the monosulcate Magnoliidae group of dicots (Chase et al. 1993; Duvall et al. 1993; Qiu et al. 1993). From the cla- distic standpoint, the dicots are therefore paraphyletic and thus inappropriate for formal recog- nition (see explantion and Fig. 41 in Apendix 6). Within the monocots, Acorus appears to be the sister group to all other monocots, with the Alismataceae (and Potamogeton) being the next most basal group (Duvall et al.

  • Nodding Onion
    Nodding Onion Allium cernuum Lily family (Liliaceae) Description: This perennial plant consists of a tuft of basal leaves from which one or more flowering stalks emerge. The basal leaves are erect, ascending, or arching; they are up to 12" long and up to 8 mm. across. The basal leaves are linear in shape, medium green, glabrous, and smooth along their margins; they are solid and flattened. Leaf venation is parallel. Each leaf is slightly keeled along its midvein. The flowering stalks are up to 1½' long and more or less erect; they are light green or light reddish purple, glabrous, and terete. Each stalk terminates in a nodding umbel of flowers that emerges from a pair of sack-like membranes; these membranes are deciduous. Each umbel spans about 1½–2" across, consisting of 40-60 pedicellate flowers. The flowers are individually about ¼" (6 mm.) across, consisting of 6 spreading tepals, 6 exserted stamens, and an ovary with a style. The tepals are white, light lavender, or pink; they are lanceolate in shape. The stamens have white filaments and yellow anthers. The pedicels are ½–1" long; they are light green or light reddish purple, glabrous, and more or less terete. The blooming season usually occurs during mid-summer, lasting 3-4 weeks. There is no noticeable floral scent. Afterwards, the flowers are replaced by seed capsules; each capsule contains several small black seeds that it splits open to release. The root system consists of a bulb that is longer than it is wide. Both the bulb and foliage of this plant have a typical onion-like scent.

  • Comparative Floral Ecology and Breeding Systems Between Sympatric Populations of Nothoscordum Bivalve and Allium Stellatum (Amaryllidaceae)
    Journal of Pollination Ecology, 26(3), 2020, pp 16-31 COMPARATIVE FLORAL ECOLOGY AND BREEDING SYSTEMS BETWEEN SYMPATRIC POPULATIONS OF NOTHOSCORDUM BIVALVE AND ALLIUM STELLATUM (AMARYLLIDACEAE) Daniel Weiherer*, Kayla Eckardt, Peter Bernhardt Department of Biology, Saint Louis University, St. Louis, MO, USA 63103 Abstract—We compared the floral biology of two sympatric populations of closely related species over two seasons. In 2018, Nothoscordum bivalve (L.) Britton bloomed from April 23 to May 7 and Allium stellatum Nutt. Ex Ker Gawl bloomed from August 28 to October 4. Erect, white flowers of N. bivalve were scented and had septal nectaries. Erect, pink-purple flowers of A. stellatum had septal nectaries, no discernible scent, and a style that lengthened over the floral lifespan. Both species were pollinated by bees with the most common geometric mean of body dimensions between 2-3 mm. Most bees carried pure loads of the host plant’s pollen. Despite phenological isolation, the two herbs shared three bee species. Allium stellatum was also pollinated by the beetle Chauliognathus pensylvanicus DeGeer (Cantharidae). Tepal nyctinasty ensured mechanical self-pollination in N. bivalve. Protandry occurred in A. stellatum. In N. bivalve, the proportion of pollen tubes penetrating ovules was highest in bagged, self-pollinating flowers. However, in A. stellatum it was highest in exposed flowers and hand cross- pollinated flowers. Fruit set in N. bivalve was highest in exposed and bagged, self-pollinating flowers. In A. stellatum, fruit set was highest in both exposed and hand cross-pollinated flowers. Seed set was the same among all treatments for both species. We interpret these results as evidence that A.

    . i : R A R Y UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF INVENTORY No. Washington, D. C. T Issued May, 1930 PLANT MATERIAL INTRODUCED BY THE OFFICE OF FOREIGN PLANT INTRODUCTION, BUREAU OF PLANT INDUSTRY, JANUARY 1 TO MARCH 31, 1929 (NOS. 78509 TO 80018) CONTENTS Page Introductory statement 1 Inventory 3 Index of common and scientific names 61 INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT The plant material included in this inventory (Nos. 78509 to 80018) for the period January 1 to March 31, 1929, reflects very largely testing experiments undertaken by the office with ornamental plants in several important genera. In nearly all cases the material recorded was secured by the purchase of seed, and, as is always true of such undertakings, some seed has given no germination, with the result that the experiments are not as advanced as might appear., This is particularly true of the sedums, the primulas, and the gentians, which form conspicuous parts of the inventory. The gardener will also notice the various other ornamentals, including the houseleeks, cyclamen, and ericas for more northern gardens; aloes, agaves, and mesembryanthemums for the South and Southwest, with the possible addition of the very interesting kalanchoes and the gingerlilies. The latter represent a collection purchased from India to see if other species might not be found for general use in the Southern and Gulf States. A preliminary and not altogether successful importation of plants of various daphnes that should be included among our ornamental shrubs shows that repeated efforts should be made to establish these charming plants. Several collections of acacias, banksias, grevilleas, and Ficus species should prove of interest in frost-free regions, particularly on the Pacific coast.

  • Prairie Onion
    Friends of the Arboretum Native Plant Sale Allium stellatum- Prairie Onion COMMON NAME: Prairie Onion, Autumn Onion, Pink Wild Onion, Prairie Wild Onion, Glade Onion, Cliff Onion, Ladies Leek. SCIENTIFIC NAME: Allium is from Latin for garlic. Stellatum means star shaped. FLOWER: 1½ to 2 inch round globe of ¼ inch flowers, pale pink to pinkish purple with spot of yellow in the center. Bloom is held upright on the stalk BLOOMING PERIOD: Blooms during July to August. SIZE: 8 to 18 inches BEHAVIOR: The flowers develop seeds and the bulbs multiply. SITE REQUIREMENTS: Thrives in dry, open sandy or limestone rocky prairie in full to partial sun. NATURAL RANGE: In Wisconsin it has been found in the far northwestern counties, and in Wood, Waushara, Dane and Rock counties. SPECIAL FEATURES: It is deer resistant. It is ideal for rock gardens. Bulbs and leaves may be eaten in small amounts. Low toxicity warning due to presence of sulfides. SUGGESTED CARE: Prepare the soil in early spring, add mulch and a handful of bone meal. Plant at least 4 inches deep, but not more than 8 inches. The seeds take several years to form bulbs and bloom so bulb division is the best way to propagate. The onion will decline in competition with taller more aggressive plants. Prefers moist well drained soil. Easy care. COMPANION PLANTS: Purple Coneflower, Prairie Dropseed, Side Oats Grama, Rattlesnake Master. NOTE: Similar to Nodding Wild Onion (Allium cernuum) whose flower hangs downward instead of upward. .

    Allium munzii Munz’s Onion 5-Year Review: Summary and Evaluation Photographs and artwork © 2007–2009 by Fred M. Roberts, Jr. Used with permission. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Carlsbad Fish and Wildlife Office Carlsbad, California June 17, 2009 Allium munzii (Munz’s onion) 5-Year Review June 17, 2009 5-YEAR REVIEW Allium munzii (Munz’s Onion) I. GENERAL INFORMATION Purpose of 5-Year Review: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), are required by section 4(c)(2) of the Endangered Species Act (Act) to conduct a status review of each listed species at least once every 5 years. The purpose of a 5-year review is to evaluate whether or not the species’ status has changed since it was listed (or since the most recent 5-year review). Based on the 5-year review, we recommend whether the species should be removed from the list of endangered and threatened species, be changed in status from endangered to threatened, or be changed in status from threatened to endangered. Our original listing of a species as endangered or threatened is based on the existence of threats attributable to one or more of the five threat factors described in section 4(a)(1) of the Act, and we must consider these same five factors in any subsequent consideration of reclassification or delisting of a species. In the 5-year review, we consider the best available scientific and commercial data on the species, and focus on new information available since the species was listed or last reviewed. If we recommend a change in listing status based on the results of the 5-year review, we must propose to do so through a separate rule-making process defined in the Act that includes public review and comment.
