Hamamelis Virginiana (Common Witchhazel) Witchhazel Family (Hamamelidaceae)
Hamamelis virginiana (Common Witchhazel) Witchhazel Family (Hamamelidaceae) Introduction: This native large shrub or small tree offers attractive yellow foliage and fragrant fl owers in fall. It is an excellent plant for naturalized settings. Culture: Common witchhazel performs best in moist soils in full sun or shade. It prefers soils that are slightly acidic or neutral, as it is not as tolerant of high pH as Hamamelis vernalis. Common witchhazel is hardy in Zones 3 to 8, possibly 9. Common witchhazel has no serious disease or insect problems, although it may develop galls on the bottom of its leaves if planted near birch trees. Botanical Characteristics: Additional information: The common name witchhazel comes from Native habitat: Canada south to Georgia, west to an old English word that means “to bend.” European Arkansas and Nebraska. species of Hamamelis were once used as divining rods to search for water. Growth habit: Large shrub or small tree with Witchhazel bark has been mixed with water large, spreading branches that form a rounded crown. and alcohol to make an astringent for sores and bruis- es. Tannins found in the bark have also been used to Tree size: 20 to 30 feet tall with a 15- to 20-foot treat hemorrhoids and in eye medications.

Witch-hazel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Witch-hazel You can support Wikipedia by making a tax-deductible donation. Witch-hazel From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Witch-hazel (Hamamelis) is a genus of flowering plants in the Witch-hazel family Hamamelidaceae, with two species in North America (H. virginiana and H. vernalis), and one each in Japan (H. japonica) and China (H. mollis). They are deciduous shrubs or (rarely) small trees growing to 3-8 m tall, rarely to 12 m tall. The leaves are alternately arranged, oval, 4-16 cm long and 3-11 cm broad, with a smooth or wavy margin. The horticultural name means "together with fruit"; its fruit, flowers, and next year's leaf buds all appear on the branch simultaneously, a rarity among trees. [1] The flowers are sometimes produced on the leafless stems in winter, thus one alternative name for the plant, "Winterbloom". [1] Each flower has four slender strap-shaped petals 1-2 cm long, pale to dark yellow, orange, or red. The fruit is a two-part capsule 1 cm long, containing a single 5 mm glossy black seed in each of the two parts; the capsule splits explosively at maturity in the autumn about 8 months after flowering, ejecting the seeds with sufficient force to fly for distances of up to 10 m, thus another Hamamelis virginiana alternative name "Snapping Hazel". [1] Scientific classification Kingdom: Plantae Hamamelis species are used as food plants by the larvae of Division: Magnoliophyta some Lepidoptera species including Feathered Thorn. Class: Magnoliopsida The name Witch has its origins in Middle English wiche, from Order: Saxifragales the Old English wice, meaning "pliant" or "bendable". -

Chapter Four: Landscaping with Native Plants a Gardener’S Guide for Missouri Landscaping with Native Plants a Gardener’S Guide for Missouri
Chapter Four: Landscaping with Native Plants A Gardener’s Guide for Missouri Landscaping with Native Plants A Gardener’s Guide for Missouri Introduction Gardening with native plants is becoming the norm rather than the exception in Missouri. The benefits of native landscaping are fueling a gardening movement that says “no” to pesticides and fertilizers and “yes” to biodiversity and creating more sustainable landscapes. Novice and professional gardeners are turning to native landscaping to reduce mainte- nance and promote plant and wildlife conservation. This manual will show you how to use native plants to cre- ate and maintain diverse and beauti- ful spaces. It describes new ways to garden lightly on the earth. Chapter Four: Landscaping with Native Plants provides tools garden- ers need to create and maintain suc- cessful native plant gardens. The information included here provides practical tips and details to ensure successful low-maintenance land- scapes. The previous three chap- ters include Reconstructing Tallgrass Prairies, Rain Gardening, and Native landscapes in the Whitmire Wildflower Garden, Shaw Nature Reserve. Control and Identification of Invasive Species. use of native plants in residential gar- den design, farming, parks, roadsides, and prairie restoration.

Chalcone Glycoside in the Flowers of Six Corylopsis Species As Yellow Pigment
J. Japan. Soc. Hort. Sci. 78 (4): 485–490. 2009. Available online at www.jstage.jst.go.jp/browse/jjshs1 JSHS © 2009 Chalcone Glycoside in the Flowers of Six Corylopsis Species as Yellow Pigment Tsukasa Iwashina1,2*, Tomoko Takemura2 and Tamaki Mishio2 1 Department of Botany, National Museum of Nature and Science, Amakubo, Tsukuba 305-0005, Japan 2 United Graduate School of Agricultural Science, Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology, Saiwai-cho, Fuchu 183-8509, Japan A chalcone glycoside was isolated from the flowers of six Corylopsis species, C. pauciflora, C. spicata, C. glabrescens, C. sinensis, C. gotoana, and C. coreana, and identified as chalcononaringenin 2'-O-glucoside by UV spectral survey, liquid chromatograph-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), acid hydrolysis, and characterization of its products, and direct thin layer chromatography (TLC) and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) comparison with an authentic sample. Five flavonol glycosides, which were accompanied with chalcone glycoside, were also isolated and identified as quercetin 3-O-rhamnoside, quercetin 3-O-glucoside, myricetin 3-O-rhamnoside, myricetin 3-O- glucoside, and kaempferol 3-O-rhamnoside in the same manner. Chalcone glycosides have been reported from various plant species, Dianthus, Coreopsis, Cosmos, Dahlia, and Bidens as yellow flower pigments. In this survey, it was shown for the first time that the yellow flower color of Corylopsis species is due to a chalcone glycoside, chalcononaringenin 2'-O-glucoside, but other flavonol glycosides hardly act as yellow pigments. Key Words: chalcone, chalcononaringenin 2'-O-glucoside, Corylopsis, Hamamelidaceae, yellow flower color. Hydroxyflavonols such as patuletin and quercetagetin Introduction also contribute to the yellow color of the flowers of The genus Corylopsis (Hamamelidaceae) is distrib- Centaurea ruthenica Lam. -
Duplication and Diversification in the APETALA1/FRUITFULL Floral
Copyright 2003 by the Genetics Society of America Duplication and Diversification in the APETALA1/FRUITFULL Floral Homeotic Gene Lineage: Implications for the Evolution of Floral Development Amy Litt1 and Vivian F. Irish Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology, Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut 06520-4108 Manuscript received March 21, 2003 Accepted for publication June 11, 2003 ABSTRACT Phylogenetic analyses of angiosperm MADS-box genes suggest that this gene family has undergone multiple duplication events followed by sequence divergence. To determine when such events have taken place and to understand the relationships of particular MADS-box gene lineages, we have identified APETALA1/FRUITFULL-like MADS-box genes from a variety of angiosperm species. Our phylogenetic analyses show two gene clades within the core eudicots, euAP1 (including Arabidopsis APETALA1 and Antirrhinum SQUAMOSA) and euFUL (including Arabidopsis FRUITFULL). Non-core eudicot species have only sequences similar to euFUL genes (FUL-like). The predicted protein products of euFUL and FUL- like genes share a conserved C-terminal motif. In contrast, predicted products of members of the euAP1 gene clade contain a different C terminus that includes an acidic transcription activation domain and a farnesylation signal. Sequence analyses indicate that the euAP1 amino acid motifs may have arisen via a translational frameshift from the euFUL/FUL-like motif. The euAP1 gene clade includes key regulators of floral development that have been implicated in the specification of perianth identity. However, the presence of euAP1 genes only in core eudicots suggests that there may have been changes in mechanisms of floral development that are correlated with the fixation of floral structure seen in this clade. -
