Table of Contents PREFACE. It is with the object of stimulating the cultivation of gardens still more beautiful than those generally to be met with that the present volume has been written. It has not been thought necessary to repeat in each case the times when the seeds of the various flowers and plants are to be sown. A careful attention to the remarks made under the headings of "Annuals," "Biennials," "Perennials," and "Seed-Sowing" will supply all the information needed. That the work may prove useful to those at least who supervise their own gardens is the sincere wish of the author. DULWICH. Table of Contents A Aaron's Rod.--See "Solidago." Abelia.--Very ornamental evergreen shrubs, bearing tubular, funnel-shaped flowers. They succeed in any ordinary soil if the situation is warm and sheltered, and are readily raised by cuttings. Height, 3 ft. to 4 ft. Abies (Spruce Firs).--Among these ornamental conifers mention may be made of the beautiful Japanese Spruce Ajanensis, which grows freely in most soils and has dual-coloured leaves--dark green on the upper surface and silvery white underneath; this makes a grand single specimen anywhere. The White Spruce (Abies Alba Glauca) is a rapid grower, but while it is small makes a lovely show in the border; it prefers a moist situation. Of the slow-growing and dwarf varieties Gregorii is a favourite. The Caerulea, or Blue Spruce, is also very beautiful. Clanbrasiliana is a good lawn shrub, never exceeding 4 ft. in height. The Pigmy Spruce (A. Pygmea) is the smallest of all firs, only attaining the height of 1 ft. Any of these may be increased by cuttings. Abronia.--Handsome half-hardy annual trailers. Grow in sandy peat and multiply by root division. Flowers in April. Height, 4 in. to 6 in. Abutilon.--Evergreen greenhouse shrubs of great beauty and easy cultivation. May be raised from seed, or by cuttings of young shoots placed in spring or summer in sand under glass, or with a bottom heat. Cut the old plants back in January, and when new shoots appear re-pot the plants. Height, 5 ft. to 8 ft. Acacia.--Winter and spring flowering greenhouse shrubs with charming flowers and graceful foliage. May be grown from seed, which should be soaked in warm water for twenty-four hours, or they may be propagated by layers, cuttings placed in heat, or suckers. They like a rich sandy loam soil. Height, 2 ft. to 3 ft. Acaena.--These shrubby plants are herbaceous and mostly hardy, of a creeping nature, fast growers, and suitable for dry banks or rough stony places. They flourish best in sandy loam and peat, and may be increased by cuttings placed under glass. The flowers, which are green, are produced in May. The height of the various kinds varies from 3 in. to 2 ft. Acantholimon Glumaceum (Prickly Thrift).--This is a frame evergreen perennial, thriving in any light, rich soil. It can be increased by dividing the roots. In May it puts forth its rose-coloured flowers. Height, 3 in. Acanthus.--A coarse, yet stately hardy perennial, which has large ornamental foliage, and flowers in August. It is not particular as to soil or situation, but free space should be given it. Will grow from seed sown from March to midsummer, or in August or September in a Table of Contents sheltered situation. Will also bear dividing. Height, 3 ft. Acer (Maple).--Very vigorous plants, suitable when young for pots, and afterwards for the shrubbery. The A. Negundo Variegata has silvery variegated leaves, which contrast effectively with dark foliage, Campestre Colchicum Rubrum, with its bright crimson palmate leaves, is very ornamental, as is also Negundo Californicum Aurem, with its golden-yellow foliage. The Maple grows best in a sandy loam. It may be increased by cuttings planted in a shaded situation, or by layers, but the choice varieties are best raised from seed sown as soon as it is ripe. Achillea Ptarmica (Sneezewort).--A pure white hardy perennial which blooms in August. The dried leaves, powdered, produce sneezing. Any soil. Best increased by rooted off-sets. Flowers from July to September. Height, 1-1/2 ft. Achimenes.--Fine plants, suitable for the greenhouse, sitting-room, or hanging baskets. Plant six tubers in a 5-in. pot, with their growing ends inclining to the centre and the roots to the edge of the pot, and cover them an inch deep with a compost of peat, loam, and leaf-mould, or a light, sandy soil. Keep them well supplied with liquid manure while in a growing state. Height, 6 in. to 2-1/2 ft. Aconite (Monk's-Hood or Wolf's-Bane).--Very pretty and very hardy, and succeeds under the shade of trees; but being very poisonous should not be grown where there are children. Increased by division or by seeds. Flowers June to July. Height, 4 ft. (See also "Winter Aconites.") Acorus (Sweet Flag).--A hardy bog plant, having an abundance of light-coloured evergreen foliage. It will grow in any wet soil. Height, 2 ft. Acroclinium.--Daisy-like everlastings. Half-hardy annuals suitable for cutting during summer, and for winter bouquets. Sow in pots in February or March, cover lightly with fine soil, plunge the pot in gentle heat, place a square of glass on the top, and gradually harden off. Seed may also be sown in the open during May or in autumn for early flowering. Height, 1 ft. Acrophyllum Verticillatum.--A greenhouse evergreen shrub. It will grow in any soil, and may be increased by cuttings of half-ripened wood. March is its flowering season. Height, 3 ft. Acrotis.--These are mostly hardy herbaceous plants from South Africa. The soil should consist of two parts loam and one part leaf-mould, and the situation should be dry and sunny. Seed may be sown early in March in gentle heat, and the plants grown on in a cold frame till May, when they may be planted out a foot apart. They will flower at midsummer. Winter in a warm greenhouse. Height, 2 ft. Some few are of a creeping nature. Table of Contents Actaea Spicata (Bane Berry).--A hardy herbaceous perennial which delights in a shady position, and will even grow under trees. It is increased by division of the roots, or it may readily be raised from seed in ordinary soil. May is its flowering month. Height, 3 ft. Actinella Grandiflora.--A showy herbaceous plant, bearing large orange-coloured flowers in July. It is not particular as to soil, and is increased by dividing the roots. Height, 1 ft. Actinomeris Squarrosa.--This hardy and ornamental herbaceous plant bears heads of bright yellow flowers, resembling small sunflowers, from June to August. It thrives in any loamy soil, and is easily increased by dividing the root. Height, 4 ft. Adam's Needle.--See "Yucca." Adenandra Fragrans.--An evergreen shrub suitable for the greenhouse. It thrives best in a mixture of sandy peat and turfy loam. Cuttings of the young branches stuck in sand will strike. It flowers in June. Height, 3 ft. Adenophora Lilifolia.--Pretty hardy perennials suitable for the border. Produce drooping pale blue flowers on branching spikes in July. Any soil suits them. They may be grown from seed, but will not allow being divided at the root. Height, 1 ft. Adlumia Cirrhosa.--Interesting hardy climbers. Will grow in any soil, and are readily increased by seeds sown in a damp situation. Require the support of stakes. Bloom in August. Height, 15 ft. Adonis Flos.--Showy crimson summer flowers, requiring only the simplest treatment of hardy annuals. Sow in March or April in the open border. Height, 1 ft. Adonis Pyrenaica.--A rare but charming Pyrenean perennial species, with thick ornamental foliage, and producing large golden-yellow flowers from May to July. It needs no special treatment. Height, 1-1/2 ft. Adonis Vernalis.--A favourite hardy perennial, which grows freely from seed in any garden soil. It may also be increased by dividing the roots. Height, 1 ft. AEthionema Cordifolium.--This little Alpine plant is a hardy evergreen that is very suitable for rock-work, as it will grow in any soil. Its rose-hued flowers are produced in June. It may be propagated by seeds or cuttings. Height, 3 in. Agapanthus (African Lily).--This is a noble plant, which succeeds well in the open if placed in a rich, deep, moist loam in a sunny situation or in partial shade. In pots it requires a strong loamy soil with plenty of manure. Throughout the summer the pots should stand in pans of water. Re-pot in March. Give it plenty of pot room, say a Table of Contents 9-in. pot for each plant. In winter protect from severe frost, and give but very little water. The flowers are both lovely and showy, being produced during August in great bunches on stems 3 ft. high. The plant is nearly hardy. Several growing together in a large tub produce a fine effect.

  • (Rubiaceae) De La Zona Árida De Metztitlán, Hidalgo, México a New Species of Rogiera (Rubiaceae) of the Arid Zone of Metztitlán, Hidalgo, Mexico
    Nota científica Una especie nueva de Rogiera (Rubiaceae) de la zona árida de Metztitlán, Hidalgo, México A new species of Rogiera (Rubiaceae) of the arid zone of Metztitlán, Hidalgo, Mexico Alejandro Torres-Montúfar1 , Eloy Solano2 , Luis Morales-Garduño2 , Helga Ochoterena1,3 Resumen: Antecedentes y Objetivos:El número de especies del género Rogiera aún es debatible, varía entre 11 y 20 dependiendo de los criterios utilizados por diferentes autores en su delimitación. México está considerado como el centro de riqueza de este género con hasta 14 especies reconocidas que se distribuyen principalmente en bosque mesófilo de montaña y selva alta perennifolia. Métodos: El material botánico colectado como parte de un estudio florístico y fitogeográfico de la porción noroeste del municipio Metztitlán, Hidalgo, se comparó con ejemplares de especies de Rogiera depositados en las colecciones ENCB, F, FCME, MEXU y MO. Después de revisar los tipos nomen- claturales y protólogos de todas las especies de Rogiera, se determinó que este material corresponde a una especie nueva. Resultados clave: Se describe e ilustra Rogiera metztitlensis, una especie nueva de la zona árida de Metztitlán, Hidalgo, México. Esta especie tiene similitud morfológica con Rogiera amoena, R. cordata y R. ehrenbergii en la orientación de la estípula al madurar, (excepto enR. ehrenbergii) tamaño y color de las flores. Difiere de éstas por ser un arbusto de hasta 1 m de alto, las estípulas más pequeñas, de 3 a 4 mm de largo, la garganta de la corola con anillo de tricomas blancos y las semillas sin alas. Conclusiones: Rogiera metztitlensis es endémica de Hidalgo, se desarrolla en hábitats áridos, en contraste con los hábitats húmedos en los que pre- domina el resto de las especies de este género.

  • Phylogeny of the Tribe Cinchoneae (Rubiaceae), Its Position in Cinchonoideae, and Description of a New Genus, Ciliosemina
    54 (1) • February 2005: 17–28 Andersson & Antonelli • Phylogeny of Cinchoneae MOLECULAR PHYLOGENETICS Phylogeny of the tribe Cinchoneae (Rubiaceae), its position in Cinchonoideae, and description of a new genus, Ciliosemina Lennart Andersson* & Alexandre Antonelli Botanical Institute, Göteborg University, P. O. Box 461, SE-405 30 Göteborg, Sweden. alexandre.antonelli@ botany.gu.se (author for correspondence) Relationships of and within the Rubiaceae tribe Cinchoneae were estimated based on DNA sequence variation in five loci: the ITS region, the matK and rbcL genes, the rps16 intron, and the trnL-F region including the trnL intron and the trnL-F intergenic spacer. Within Cinchonoideae s.s., the tribe Naucleeae is the sister group of a clade that comprises all other taxa. Cinchoneae and Isertieae s.s., are strongly supported as sister groups. The tribe Cinchoneae is strongly supported as monophyletic in a restricted sense, including the genera Cinchona, Cinchonopsis, Joosia, Ladenbergia, Remijia and Stilpnophyllum. There is strong support that these genera are monophyletic as presently conceived, except that one species mostly referred to Remijia is of uncer- tain phylogenetic affinity. To accommodate this species and a morphologically closely similar one, a new genus, Ciliosemina A. Antonelli, is proposed and two new combinations are made. KEYWORDS: Cinchona, Cinchoneae, Cinchonopsis, Joosia, Ladenbergia, Remijia, Stilpnophyllum, Rubiaceae; ITS, matK, rbcL, rps16 intron, trnL-F. oideae. Bremekamp (e.g., 1966) revised Schumann’s INTRODUCTION classification and redefined Cinchonoideae to comprise Traditionally (e.g., Candolle, 1830; Schumann, only genera without raphides, with imbricate or valvate 1891, 1897; Robbrecht, 1988), the tribe Cinchoneae has corolla aestivation and testa cells with coarsely pitted been circumscribed to include about 50 genera with basal walls.

L. Borhidi Institute of Biology, University of Pécs, H-7624 Pécs, Ifjúság útja 6, Hungary E-mail: borhidi@gamma.ttk.pte.hu (Received 26 June, 2018; Accepted 31 July, 2018) Jamaicanthus, a new monotypic endemic genus of the tribe Rondeletieae (Rubiaceae) in the flora of Jamaica is described based on Rondeletia laurifolia Sw. It is interpreted as a new important argument supporting the Gaarlandia theory. Key words: Gaarlandia, Jamaica, new genus, Rondeletia, Rubiaceae INTRODUCTION The wide concept interpretation of the genus Rondeletia published by Standley (1918) and followed by Standley and Williams (1975), Dwyer (1980a, b), Lorence (1991, 1999), Burger and Taylor (1993) turned to be a treasury of the unrecognised and/or misunderstood genera during a recognising taxo- nomic process of the last fifty years. The first step was made by Steyermark in his study of basic importance (1967) when resurrected the genera Arachnothryx and Rogiera both described by Planchon in 1849 and subdivided by Standley into three subgeneric groups (not named as sections) under the names Amoenae (Rogiera), Laniflorae and Leucophyllae (Arachnothryx). The next steps were made by Borhidi and his co- authors as results of their critical revisions carried out on the Rubiaceae family in the frame of the new Flora of Cuba project. They recognised the monotypic Tinifoliae group of Standley as Acunaeanthus Borhidi, J.-Komlódi et Monca- da (1981), the monotypic Correifoliae group of Standley as Roigella Borhidi et Fernández-Zequeira (1981) and described the Cuban-Hispaniolan Suberanthus Borhidi et Fernández (1982) based on 5 species of the group Stellatae of Stand- ley.

(RUBIACEAE, GUETTARDEAE) Y LA VALIDEZ DEL GÉNERO ROVAEANTHUS BORHIDI (RUBIACEAE, RONDELETIEAE) A. L. Borhidi Instituto de Biología, Universidad de Pécs, H-7624 Pécs, Ifjúság útja 6, Hungría E-mail: borhidi@gamma.ttk.pte.hu (Received 20 November, 2017; Accepted 5 January, 2018) The last synthetic treatment of the Rogiera genus was published by D. Lorence in the Flora Mesoamericana (Vol. 4, part 2) based on a polyphyletic concept including two genera of different tribes and leaving the results of the molecular studies out of consideration or misinterpreting them (Lorence 2012). Rovaeanthus has been distinguished at first by Johan Rova upon comparative molecular studies (Rova 1999, Rova et al. 1999, 2002). Micro- and macromorphological studies revealed that the basic differences between Rogiera and Ro- vaeanthus are in the structure of the flowers and the shape and cell-patterns of the seeds as they were correctly presented and illustrated by Borhidi (2006, 2012) and Borhidi et al. (2004). These are: Rovaeanthus has a special form of corolla-throat, consisting of fleshy ring – as in Rondeletia – and a superposed hairy ring, like in Rogiera. This combination of the corolla-features is unique in the Neotropical Rubiaceae. Anthers are subbasal in Rovaean- thus, dorsifixed in the middle in Rogiera. Ovary disc with naked ring in Rogiera and hairy in Rovaeanthus. Shape and ornamentation of the seeds are completely different in the two genera (see below). In these features there are not any intermediate variation, between the two taxonomic units as it is suggested by Lorence.

An emphasis was placed on the tribes Rondeletieae, Sipaneeae, and Condamineeae. Sipaneeae are not close to Rondeletieae and belong in the Ixoroideae. There is no support for a widely distributed Rondeletieae in a broad sense. Instead, Rondeletieae sensu stricto form an almost entirely Antillean clade. Support was found for the separation of Arachnothryx, Rogiera, Roigella, and Suberanthus from Rondeletia. The Guettardeae as well as Gonzalagunia are found close to a complex formed by Arachnothryx, Javorkaea, and Rogiera. Condamineeae, in a strict sense, belongs in the Ixoroideae. A number of Rondeletieae genera should be transferred to Condamineeae or other parts of Ixoroideae. Support is found for an emended tribe Naucleeae, comprising several genera with spherical pseudanthia. For the ®rst time, tribal or subfamilial af®liation based on molecular sequence data is suggested for Allenanthus, Blepharidium, Chione, Coutaportla, Dolichodelphys, Mazaea, Neobertiera, Neoblakea, Phialanthus, Phyllacanthus, Phyllomelia, Schmidtottia, and Suberan- thus.
