    Systematic Botany (2007), 32(3): pp. 660–670 # Copyright 2007 by the American Society of Plant Taxonomists Taxonomic Revisions in the Polyphyletic Genus Tabebuia s. l. (Bignoniaceae) SUSAN O. GROSE1 and R. G. OLMSTEAD Department of Biology, University of Washington, Box 355325, Seattle, Washington 98195 U.S.A. 1Author for correspondence ([email protected]) Communicating Editor: James F. Smith ABSTRACT. Recent molecular studies have shown Tabebuia to be polyphyletic, thus necessitating taxonomic revision. These revisions are made here by resurrecting two genera to contain segregate clades of Tabebuia. Roseodendron Miranda consists of the two species with spathaceous calices of similar texture to the corolla. Handroanthus Mattos comprises the principally yellow flowered species with an indumentum of hairs covering the leaves and calyx. The species of Handroanthus are also characterized by having extremely dense wood containing copious quantities of lapachol. Tabebuia is restricted to those species with white to red or rarely yellow flowers and having an indumentum of stalked or sessile lepidote scales. The following new combinations are published: Handroanthus arianeae (A. H. Gentry) S. Grose, H. billbergii (Bur. & K. Schum). S. Grose subsp. billbergii, H. billbergii subsp. ampla (A. H. Gentry) S.

For the production of seedlings in the nursery, three volumes of container (180 and 280 cm3 polypropylene tubes and 500 cm3 polyethylene bags) and four CRF doses (0, 4, 8, and 12 g L-1 of substrate) were used. At 180 d after emergence, height (H), stem diameter (SD), H:SD ratio, shoot dry weight, root dry weight, total dry weight, Dickson Quality Index, leaf area, root length, and fluorescence of chlorophyll a were evaluated.

Received 28 December 2015, Accepted 23 May, 2016. Handroanthus heptaphyllus (Vell.) Mattos (Bignoniaceae), a tropical forest tree, is a source of wood suitable for the manufacture of fine furniture and chemical compounds with medicinal and insecticidal properties. Poor seed viability of this species limits the conventional propagation practice. In vitro germination of seeds was achieved in semi-solid Murashige and Skoog’s (MS) medium. A disinfection protocol was optimized for germination and growth of seedlings in vitro. Proliferation of shoots from cotyledonary and stem nodal segments was achieved in semi-solid MS medium supplemented with 22.2 µM 6-benzyladenine. Temporary immersion culture promoted elongation and rooting of shoots and reduced the shoot tip necrosis compared with culture on semisolid medium (6.7±2.7 and 41.7±7.0%, respectively; P = 0.001). Plantlets derived from temporary immersion showed better performance during the acclimatization phase. This is the first report on micropropagation of H. heptaphyllus. Key words: Seeds, uncoated seeds, cotyledon, stem nodes, axillary shoots, adventitious shoot, black lapacho. INTRODUCTION Handroanthus heptaphyllus (Vell.)

GREBY ArborPro, Inc. 22605 La Palma Ave. Yorba Linda, California 92887 [email protected] DANIEL YANSURA 330 Carmel Ave. Pacifica, California 94044 [email protected] ABSTRACT Handroanthus × lewisii , an unusually handsome hybrid of Handroanthus heptaphyllus and H. umbellatus (trumpet trees, Bignoniaceae), is now well established at the Los Angeles County Arboretum and Botanic Garden in Arcadia, California, near Los Angeles, where it was first developed, and at several other locations in Southern California. Because it is gaining in popularity and might soon be marketed to retail nurseries, we provide formal botanical and common names for this hybrid. Handroanthus Mattos comprises arguably the showiest winter- and spring-flowering trees in Southern California. Established in 1970 (Mattos 1970), the genus includes about 30 species of trees from Mexico to Argentina (Grose & Olmstead 2007) that most authors (e.g., Gentry 1992) previously included in Tabebuia Gomes ex. DC. Indeed, Handroanthus was largely unaccepted until the publication of Grose and Olmstead in 2007. When Mattos (1970) segregated out Handroanthus , he noted that it differed from Tabebuia in its palmately compound leaves and eight to nine ovules/locules per ovary (vs.

  • Growth and Ion Accumulation in Seedlings of Handroanthus Serratifolius (VAHL.) Cultivated in Saline Solution
    SCIENTIA FORE S TALI S Growth and ion accumulation in seedlings of Handroanthus serratifolius (VAHL.) cultivated in saline solution Crescimento e acúmulo de íons em plântulas de Handroanthus serratifolius (VAHL.) cultivadas em solução salina Fabricio José Pereira¹ e Marcelo Polo² Resumo A salinidade é um problema ambiental para diversos biomas e muitas plantas precisam suportar seus efeitos para sobreviverem nessas condições. Entretanto, algumas espécies nativas não são capazes de lidar com tais ambientes e devem ser conhecidas. Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a tolerância à salinidade de Handroanthus serratifolius, uma espécie pioneira muito utilizada em reflorestamentos. Plântulas com 15 dias de idade de Handroanthus serratifolius foram cultivadas por 45 dias em solução nutritiva e tratamentos salinos com NaCl com potenciais osmóticos de -0,1, -0,2, -0,3, -0,4, -0,8 e -1,5 MPa. O acúmulo de sódio foi quantificado nas plântulas com fotômetro de chama e o cloro por titulação. As variáveis analisadas foram: biomassa seca da raiz, caule e folhas e a área foliar sendo utilizadas para calcular os índices de crescimento sendo: taxa de crescimento relativo, taxa assimilatória líquida, razão raiz:parte aérea. Foi avaliada ainda a densidade estomática na face abaxial das folhas. Os dados foram submetidos à ANOVA com cinco repetições. As plântulas sobreviveram apenas nos tratamentos com -0,1 (92% de sobrevivência), -0,2 (56% de sobrevivência), -0,3 MPa (32% de sobrevivência) e no grupo contro- le (100% de sobrevivência). A biomassa seca das plântulas foi reduzida em todos os tratamentos salinos em comparação com o grupo controle. A salinidade promoveu decréscimo na taxa de crescimento relativo e na taxa assimilatória líquida.
