  • Mysore Raspberry Rubus Niveus Thimbleberry Rubus Rosifolius
    Big Island Invasive Species Committee (BIISC) Hawaii‘i Island Weed ID Card – DRAFT– v20030508 • Local/Common Name: None • Scientific Name: Rubus glaucus • Family : Rosaceae (Rose Family) • Origin and Status: – Invasive weed in Hawai‘i – Native to ? – First introduced to into Hawai‘i in ? • Description: Rubus glaucus is a raspberry plant with long thorny vines. Its leaves are compound, consisting of 3 oblong-shaped leaflets that have a pointy tip. The stems are white, almost as if coated with flour, and have sparse long thorns. The flowers are white, with 5 tiny petals, and tending to occur in clusters along the stems. Its fruits are red when ripe and are about 1” long. • Distribution: R. glaucus is currently found in the Volcano area along disturbed roadsides and abandoned fields. • Other Information: R. glaucus is a rambling vine. This means, like other vines, that it tends to grow up and over other plants. It ends up smothering whatever is growing beneath it. It can also grow out and along the ground instead of erect. Birds have been witnessed eating the berries from this plant. • Contact: Rubus glaucus Prepared by MLC/KFB Big Island Invasive Species Committee (BIISC) Local/Common Name: Hill or Mysore Raspberry Hawaii‘i Island Weed ID Card – DRAFT– v20030508 Scientific Name: Rubus niveus Family : Rosaceae (Rose Family) Origin and Status: ?Invasive weed in Hawai‘i ?Native from India, southeastern Asia, the Philippines, and Indonesia ?First introduced to into Hawai‘i in 1965 Description: Rubus niveus is a stout shrub that grows up to 6 ½ ft. tall .

  • (Verbenaceae) Using Multiple Loci
    bs_bs_banner Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 2013, 171, 103–119. With 5 figures Investigating the evolution of Lantaneae (Verbenaceae) using multiple loci PATRICIA LU-IRVING* and RICHARD G. OLMSTEAD Department of Biology, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington 98195, USA Received 3 February 2012; revised 29 June 2012; accepted for publication 23 August 2012 Lantaneae are an example of a taxonomically problematic, widespread and recently radiated Neotropical lineage. Taxonomy in Lantaneae is difficult because of complex, overlapping patterns of shifts in morphological traits among members; monophyly of the traditional genera cannot be assumed without additional information from molecular data. We took a multi-locus approach to infer phylogenetic relationships in Lantaneae, resolving major clades among a broad representative sample that covers the morphological, taxonomic and geographical diversity of this group. Data from multiple, independent loci reveal individual gene trees that are incongruent with one another, with varying degrees of support. Without reliable, applicable methods to determine the sources of such incongru- ence and to resolve it, we present the consensus between well-supported topologies among our data sets as the best estimate of Lantaneae phylogeny to date. According to this consensus tree, fleshy fruits in Lantaneae have been derived from dry fruits at least five times; taxonomic schemes separating genera based on fruit characteristics are artificial. Lantaneae have shifted into the Neotropics from the southern temperate subtropics and have colonized Africa in at least two separate long-distance dispersal events. This study provides a first pass at a broad Lantaneae phylogeny, but two important areas remain unresolved: the position of Acantholippia relative to Aloysia; and species-level relationships in the Lantana–Lippia clade.

  • Flaveria Pringlei (C3) Andflaveria Trinervia (C4) Under Nacl Stress
    BIOLOGIAPLANTARUM 37 (1): 65-70, 1995 Flaveria pringlei (C3) and Flaveria trinervia (C4) under NaCI stress P. APEL, M. PEISKER, E. PFUNDEL and K.MISIHLE* Institut fi~r Pflanzengenetik und Kulturpflanzenforschung, Corrensstrafle 3, Gatersleben, D-06466, Germany Institut far Geophysik und Geologie der Universitdt Leipzig, Abt. Geochemm, Permoserstrafle 15, Letpztg, D-04303, Germany* Abstract The C 4 species Flaveria trinervia is obviously better adapted to saline environments than the C 3 species F pringlei, Treatment with 100 mM NaCl diminished crop growth rate in F. pringlei by 38 % but not in F. tnnervia. Under saline conditions, more assimilates were invested in leaf growth in F. trinervia but not in F. pringlei. Electrolyte concentration in F trinervia in control and salt treated plants is lower than in F. pringlei. Fluorescence data do not indicate a damage of PS 2 charge separation in both species. Whether the C 4 photosynthetic pathway in F. trinervia is responsible for the improved salt tolerance compared to F pringlei remains an open question. Key words: assimilates, clilorophyll, electrolytes, fluorescence, growth analysis, isotope discrimination, photosystem2, stomata Introduction The saline environments could have been an ecological niche which 'favoured genotypes exhibiting C 4 photosynthesis. Distribution of C 4 Atriplex species and their obvious preference of saline habitats support this assumption (Osmond et aL 1980). Powell (1978) reported in his monography of the genus Flaveria (Asteraceae) the salinity of natural habitats of F. australasica (C4), F. campestris (C4), F. trinervia (C4), F brownii (C4-1ike), F. chloraefolia (C3-C4), F. flondana (C3-C4) and F. oppositifolia (C3-C4).

[email protected] 3Universidad de Santiago de Compostela, Departamento de Botánica, Escuela Politécnica Superior, 27002 Lugo, España. RESUMEN La Sierra de Catorce, localizada en el norte del estado de San Luis Potosí, reúne algunas de las principales cimas del Desierto Chihuahuense cuyas cotas superan los 3000 metros. Ello ha favorecido que la Sierra sea una importante área de diversificación de la flora y las fitocenosis de dicha ecorregión. A partir del estudio fitosociológico de la vegetación del territorio, que se está realizando desde 1999, se ha obtenido un catálogo preliminar de su flora. Hasta el momento la lista de plantas vasculares está conformada por 526 especies y cuatro taxa infraespecíficos, agrupados en 293 géneros y 88 familias. Las familias y géneros mejor representados son Asteraceae, Poaceae, Cactaceae, Fabaceae, Fagaceae y Lamiaceae, así como Quercus, Opuntia, Muhlenbergia, Salvia, Agave, Bouteloua y Dyssodia, respectivamente. Asimismo se señalan los tipos de vegetación representativos del área que albergan los diferentes taxa. Por último, con base en diferentes listas de flora amenazada, se identificaron las especies incluidas en alguna de las categorías reconocidas. Palabras clave: Desierto Chihuahuense, estudio fitosociológico, flora, flora ame- nazada, México, San Luis Potosí, Sierra de Catorce.
