Plant of the Month January HAMAMELIS Hamamelis is a winter-flowering shrub, commonly known as witch hazel. Its spicy fragrance and spidery flowers in yellow, orange and reds make it a must for the winter garden. A genus of four species of woody shrubs, two from North America and two from Asia, all flowering in the winter/early spring except for Hamamelis virginiana L. which flowers in the autumn. The first to be discovered was the American Witch Hazel, Hamamelis virginiana, this is the plant from which is distilled an extract, quite widely used in pharmaceutical and cosmetic products. The other species from North America is the Ozark Witch Hazel, Hamamelis vernalis. From Asia come both the Japanese Witch Hazel, Hamamelis japonica and the Chinese Witch Hazel, Hamamelis mollis. In cultivation, hybrids have arisen, notably between the Japanese and Chinese Witch Hazels, these are designated as Hamamelis x intermedia and many of them have been given cultivar names. Apart from H. virginiana which flowers in October and November, they all flower in the winter, between December and March, unaffected by frost. Individual plants have a flowering period of four to six weeks, depending how cold the weather is. They are medium sized to large woody shrubs, usually multi- stemmed. The flowers consist of four strap shaped petals, giving them a spidery look. With many flowers clustered along the branches, they provide welcome colour in the drab winter months. Flower colour, particularly in the hybrids can range from pale yellow, through to red and many of them have good scent, from sweet to spicy. An added bonus in many cultivars is the autumn colour of the foliage, which can range from yellow through to orange and red. The name Witch in witch-hazel has its origins in Middle English ‘wiche’, from the Old English ‘wice’, meaning “pliant” or “bendable”. “Witch hazel” was used in England as a synonym for Wych Elm, Ulmus glabra; American colonists simply extended the familiar name to the new shrub. The use of the twigs as diving rods, just as Hazel twigs were used in England, may also have, by folk etymology, influenced the “witch” part of the name. The bark and leaves are astringent; the extract, also referred to as witch hazel, is used medicinally. Extracts from its bark and leaves are used in aftershave lotions and lotions for treating bruises and insect bites. Witch-hazel helps to shrink and contract blood vessels back to normal size, hence its use as the active ingredient in many haemorrhoid medications. The seeds contain a quantity of oil and are edible. It is also used in treating acne. Witch Hazel is also used in treating psoriasis and eczema. In addition, Witch Hazel is sometimes found as an ingredient in eye drops.

Witch-Hazel - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
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".

ZHOU ET AL. 9 ABSTRACT 10 Target enrichment and RAD-seq are well-established high throughput sequencing 11 technologies that have been increasingly used for phylogenomic studies, and the choice between 12 methods is a practical issue for plant systematists studying the evolutionary histories of 13 biodiversity of relatively recent origins. However, few studies have compared the congruence and 14 conflict between results from the two methods within the same group of organisms, especially in 15 plants, where extensive genome duplication events may complicate phylogenomic 16 analyses.

The Witch Hazel Family (Hamamelidaceae) by RICHARD E
The Witch Hazel Family (Hamamelidaceae) by RICHARD E. WEAVER, JR. The Arnold Arboretum has claimed that there is a tree or shrub in bloom every month of the year on its grounds in Jamaica Plain, Mass. In many years this assertion is true, but only because of a single genus of plants, Hamamelis, the Witch Hazels. As December ar- rives, the last pale yellow flowers begin to fade on the Common Witch Hazel, H. virginiana, a native of the eastern United States. And with the New Year come the fragrant, bronzy flowers of the Vernal Witch Hazel, H. vernalis, closely followed by the bright and beautiful yellow blossoms of the Chinese species, H. mollis. The Witch Hazels belong to the Hamamelidaceae, a family of plants which are mostly neglected by the American horticultural public. Admittedly, the family is insignificant horticulturally com- pared with some others, for example, the Rose Family, as a result of the diversity and sheer number of its genera and species, and the Magnolia Family, because of the universal appeal of some of its members. But a high percentage of the species in the Hamamelida- ceae are first class ornamentals, possessing charm, beautiful and often fragrant flowers, unusual blooming times, and brilliant au- tumnal coloration. Most also are easy to grow if the soil is light and loamy, and they bloom reasonably well in partial shade. In addition, they are not bothered by any serious diseases or insect pests. This article will present a brief discussion of all of the genera which are hardy in the northern half of the United States.

I have had the privilege of his mentorship for the last decade, and without it this project would not have been possible. My thesis committee members are each owed my appreciation as well. Dr. Tara Trammell readily volunteered to be a part of the committee and has been generous with her time and guidance during this project. Anthony Aiello of the Morris Arboretum deserves thanks for his input in the project proposal and making multiple trips to the University. I appreciate all the time my committee has put into reviewing this dense and long thesis. It was a time- consuming task writing this thesis, and I understand it is also onerous to review it! Abbey Meyer of the Botanic Gardens Conservation International (BGCI) was instrumental in providing the data sets used in this research.
