Despite the importance of the H-D Mountains to biodiversity, many uncertainties Available online 9 May 2013 remain regarding the timing and tempo of their uplift.

Our analyses of diversification times and rates among Lilium–Nomocharis clades are less conclusive. However, these do suggest high extinction rates among H-D Mountains lineages. Ó 2013 Elsevier Inc.

  • Guide to the Flora of the Carolinas, Virginia, and Georgia, Working Draft of 17 March 2004 -- LILIACEAE
    Guide to the Flora of the Carolinas, Virginia, and Georgia, Working Draft of 17 March 2004 -- LILIACEAE LILIACEAE de Jussieu 1789 (Lily Family) (also see AGAVACEAE, ALLIACEAE, ALSTROEMERIACEAE, AMARYLLIDACEAE, ASPARAGACEAE, COLCHICACEAE, HEMEROCALLIDACEAE, HOSTACEAE, HYACINTHACEAE, HYPOXIDACEAE, MELANTHIACEAE, NARTHECIACEAE, RUSCACEAE, SMILACACEAE, THEMIDACEAE, TOFIELDIACEAE) As here interpreted narrowly, the Liliaceae constitutes about 11 genera and 550 species, of the Northern Hemisphere. There has been much recent investigation and re-interpretation of evidence regarding the upper-level taxonomy of the Liliales, with strong suggestions that the broad Liliaceae recognized by Cronquist (1981) is artificial and polyphyletic. Cronquist (1993) himself concurs, at least to a degree: "we still await a comprehensive reorganization of the lilies into several families more comparable to other recognized families of angiosperms." Dahlgren & Clifford (1982) and Dahlgren, Clifford, & Yeo (1985) synthesized an early phase in the modern revolution of monocot taxonomy. Since then, additional research, especially molecular (Duvall et al. 1993, Chase et al. 1993, Bogler & Simpson 1995, and many others), has strongly validated the general lines (and many details) of Dahlgren's arrangement. The most recent synthesis (Kubitzki 1998a) is followed as the basis for familial and generic taxonomy of the lilies and their relatives (see summary below). References: Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (1998, 2003); Tamura in Kubitzki (1998a). Our “liliaceous” genera (members of orders placed in the Lilianae) are therefore divided as shown below, largely following Kubitzki (1998a) and some more recent molecular analyses. ALISMATALES TOFIELDIACEAE: Pleea, Tofieldia. LILIALES ALSTROEMERIACEAE: Alstroemeria COLCHICACEAE: Colchicum, Uvularia. LILIACEAE: Clintonia, Erythronium, Lilium, Medeola, Prosartes, Streptopus, Tricyrtis, Tulipa. MELANTHIACEAE: Amianthium, Anticlea, Chamaelirium, Helonias, Melanthium, Schoenocaulon, Stenanthium, Veratrum, Toxicoscordion, Trillium, Xerophyllum, Zigadenus.

  • 4.3 BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES 4.3.1 Existing Conditions Methodology
    4.3 BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES 4.3 BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES This section identifies biological resources present on the project site and assesses the project’s impacts upon those resources. It is based on previous biological resource assessments for the site (conducted for the applicant) and a review of those assessments and supplemental field surveys and research conducted by the City’s EIR consultant. Since the Notice of Preparation was published March 9, 2010, the applicant has undertaken minimal amount of site disturbance activity for environmental research and maintenance. These activities involved conducting cultural resources investigations in March 2011, fuel maintenance as required by the County Fire Department in May 2011, and geotechnical exploration of the project site to assess possible construction design (i.e. foundation designs) on June 13-15, 2011. Each of these activities was planned and monitored to avoid any significant biological resources. Fuel modification is conducted on an ongoing basis once every three months. 4.3.1 Existing Conditions This section discusses the regional setting, project site conditions, and the existing and potentially occurring biological resources at the project site. Biological resources within the surrounding area are also discussed, when relevant. Methodology The description of existing conditions provided below is based on a literature review and site surveys.

All the articles here were contributed by members of your S&W committee – Diana Garner, secretary; Wilma Keighley, treasurer and membership secretary; and Nigel Parkes-Rolfe, chair. We hope you enjoy this edition, and that it brings you some spring cheer in the middle of winter. May we wish you all a merry and peaceful festive season. As ever, please send any articles, comments or images to [email protected]. Thank you. 1 Daffodils in the wood - ‘Marjorie’s Mile’ Text and images by Diana Garner Our daffodil planting project started in 2003 when we wanted to develop a small area of our wood in memory of John’s mother, Marjorie, and decided on a 100 m avenue of daffodils which we could call “Marjorie’s Mile”. We were fortunate enough to buy the 3 acre mixed woodland at the end of our garden in 2000, and it had been used as a hand-made brickyard in the 1960s, and just left since then to grow scrub trees, brambles and holly. Having never tackled a project on this scale before, we consulted Avon Bulbs. We wanted the bulbs to start flowering near Marjorie’s anniversary in December and to carry on through the Spring. We had about two metres one side and one metre the other side of the path for planting. They recommended planting in about five metre blocks of any one variety before there was a break to another type, such as bluebells or just grass.
