    S. M. El Naggar & N. Sawady Pollen Morphology of Malvaceae and its taxonomic significance in Yemen Abstract El Naggar, S. M. & Sawady N.: Pollen Morphology of Malvaceae and its taxonomic signifi- cance in Yemen. — Fl. Medit. 18: 431-439. 2008. — ISSN 1120-4052. The pollen morphology of 20 species of Malvaceae growing in Yemen was investigated by light (LM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The studied taxa belong to 9 genera and three different tribes. These taxa are: Abelmoschus esculentus, Hibiscus trionum, H. micranthus, H. deflersii, H. palmatus, H. vitifolius, H. rosa-sinensis, H. ovalifolius, Gossypium hirsutum, Thespesia populnea (L.) Solander ex Correa and Senra incana (Cav.) DC. (Hibiscieae); Malva parviflora and Alcea rosea (Malveae); Abutilon fruticosum, A. figarianum, A. bidentatum, A. pannosum, Sida acuta, S. alba and S. ovata (Abutileae). Pollen shape, size, aperture, exine structure and sculpturing as well as the spine characters proved that they are of high taxonom- ic value. Pollen characters with some other morphological characters are discussed in the light of the recent classification of the family in Yemen. Key words: Malvaceae, Morphology, Yemen. Introduction Malvaceae Juss. (s. str.) is a large family of herbs, shrubs and trees; comprising about 110 genera and 2000 species. It is a globally distributed family with primary concentrations of genera in the tropical and subtropical regions (Hutchinson 1967; Fryxell 1975, 1988 & 1998; Heywood 1993; La Duke & Doeby 1995; Mabberley 1997). Due to the high economic value of many taxa of Malvaceae (Gossypium, Hibiscus, Abelmoschus and Malva), several studies of different perspective have been carried out, such as those are: Edlin (1935), Bates and Blanchard (1970), Krebs (1994a, 1994b), Ray (1995 & 1998), Hosni and Araffa (1999), El Naggar (1996, 2001 & 2004), Pefell & al.

  • Hollyhock Rust Caroline Jackson and Josephine Mgbechi-Ezeri
    Sample of the week: Hollyhock rust Caroline Jackson and Josephine Mgbechi-Ezeri Have strange orange and brown bumps plagued your flower beds this year? The prolonged cool temperatures and heavy precipitation this spring have allowed fungal pathogens to flourish. Here is one heavy infestation of Hollyhock rust, a disease that is caused by the fungal pathogen Puccinia malvacearum. Common hosts include Alcea rosea, (hollyhock), Abutilon spp. (flowering maple), Malvaceae spp. (rose mallow), Figure 1. Yellow spots on upper leaf surface Photo Credit: and common weed mallow. It is Caroline Jackson, University of Missouri Plant Diagnostic Clinic one of the most common diseases of hollyhock. Symptoms of the disease include the yellow to red spots on upper leaf surface, and brown pustules that appear blister-like occur on lower leaf surface and stem. Leaves that are heavily infected often wilt, turn brown and die. This disease is the most common of hollyhock and can spread rapidly from leaf to leaf. The fungus overwinters in the infected plant materials, and in the spring produce spores that are dispersed by wind to initiate infection on new plants. Figure 2. Orange brown pustules on underside of leaf Photo Credit: Caroline Jackson, University of Missouri Plant Diagnostic Clinic For appropriate diagnosis, the MU Plant Diagnostic Clinic can help you confirm if your plant has this disease.

  • Determining Heavy Metal Contents of Hollyhock (Alcea Rosea L.) in Roadside Soils of a Turkish Lake Basin
    Pol. J. Environ. Stud. Vol. 27, No. 5 (2018), 2081-2087 DOI: 10.15244/pjoes/79270 ONLINE PUBLICATION DATE: 2018-05-09 Original Research Determining Heavy Metal Contents of Hollyhock (Alcea rosea L.) in Roadside Soils of a Turkish Lake Basin Ilhan Kaya1*, Füsun Gülser2 1Yuzuncu Yil University Agriculture Faculty, Department of Plant Protection, Van, Turkey 2Yuzuncu Yil University Agriculture Faculty, Department of Soil Science, Van, Turkey Received: 3 September 2017 Accepted: 26 October 2017 Abstract This study was carried out to determine the heavy metal contents of hollyhock (Alcea rosea L.) in roadside soils of Van Lake Basin. The leaf samples of the hollyhock were taken from the roadside areas affected by heavy metal pollution due to intensive motorized traffic and from areas 30 m from the roadside by taking into account prevailing wind direction in 10 different locations. There were only significant differences for Mn, Cu, and Zn contents of leaves according to the sampling locations. The mean Fe (383.3 mg kg-1), Mn (50.2 mg kg-1), Cu (19.2 mg kg-1), Zn (23.9 mg kg-1), Cd (17.9 mg kg-1), Cr (5.1 mg kg-1), Ni (3.2 mg kg-1), and Pb (3.2 mg kg-1) contents of leaves sampled from roadside areas were significantly higher than mean heavy metal contents of leaves sampled from the areas 30 m from the roadside. The increasing ratios in mean heavy metal contents of leaves were ordered as Cd (309.3%) > Cr (248.9%) > Ni (130.6%) > Fe (75.9%) > Pb (64.3%) > Mn (40.6%) > Cu (26.1%) > Zn (22.7%).

  • HOLLYHOCK-PINK Alcea Rosea Characteristics Culture Noteworthy
    HOLLYHOCK-PINK Alcea rosea Characteristics Type: Perennial Water: Medium Zone: 2 to 10 Maintenance: High Height: 6.00 to 8.00 feet Suggested Use: Annual, Naturalize Spread: 1.00 to 2.00 feet Flower: Showy Bloom Time: June to August Attracts: Hummingbirds, Butterflies Bloom Description: White, pink, & red Tolerate: Rabbit, Black Walnut Sun: Full sun Culture Grow in average, medium moisture, well-drained soil in full sun. Tolerates a wide range of soil conditions and some light shade, but will not tolerate wet winter soils. Considered a biennial or short-lived perennial. If grown from seed, plant seeds in August or September for bloom the following year. Although short- lived, hollyhocks easily self-seed and can establish colonies in the garden that persist for years as if they were perennials. Noteworthy Characteristics Alcea rosea, commonly called hollyhocks, are old garden favorites. The flowers grow on rigid, towering spikes or spires which typically reach a height of 5-8' tall and usually do not require staking. Foliage features large, heart-shaped (3, 5 or 7 lobes), rough lower leaves which become progressively smaller toward the top of the spire. Long bloom period of June to August. Sometimes listed in nursery catalogs under Althaea. This is a mix of plants which produce huge (4-5" diameter), outward-facing, single flowers in a wide variety of colors including reds, pinks, whites, and light yellows. Problems Foliage is susceptible to rust, leaf spot and anthracnose. Spider mites and Japanese beetle can also be problems. Foliage can become rather tattered and unkempt in appearance when attacked by the aforementioned insects and/or diseases, but the flowers generally are not affected.

  • An Unusual Hollyhock. the Flowers of Late Summer May Be Colourful but They Do Not Stir the Heart Like the Jewels of Spring and the Rich Opulence of June
    An Unusual Hollyhock. The flowers of late summer may be colourful but they do not stir the heart like the jewels of spring and the rich opulence of June. However there is one late summer plant which always attracts interest and covetousness. X Alcalthaea ‘Parkallee’ looks like a hollyhock but in fact it is not. It flowers in August and September when the hollyhocks are all but finished. This gorgeous plant is sometimes listed as an Alcea, (hollyhock) and sometimes as a Malva, (mallow). It is neither of these; nor is it a Lavatera or a Kitaibelia which has similar shaped flowers. It is genetically close to all of these, as it is said to be a hybrid between Alcea rosea, (hollyhock) and Althaea officinalis. (Marshmallow.) Its correct name is x Alcalthaea suffrutescens ‘Parkallee’. Marshmallow is an increasingly rare wild flower although I have seen it growing wild in marshy ground around Dunwich. It has healthy blue-green leaves and pale pink flowers. There is though, a great deal of confusion about the parentage of ‘Parkallee’. It has been suggested that rather than marshmallow it could be a cross between Kitaibelia vitifolia and Alcea rosea. The flowers certainly look very similar to those of a Kitaibelia. Another suggestion is that it is a cross between Alcea rosea and Althaea cannabina. I have even seen it suggested on a French website that it is a cross between a hollyhock and Hibiscus syriacus. It is difficult to understand why there is so much confusion about the parentage because it was bred in Hungary in 1953 by Prof.

  • Temperature Impacts Cactus and Succulent Development Rate
    Temperature Impacts Cactus and Succulent research summarized here was to determine temperature effects (10 to Development Rate 28 °C) on cacti and succulent de- velopment rate to determine appro- priate greenhouse temperatures and/ John Erwin1,4, Ken Altman2, and Fran Esqueda3 or optimal geographic locations to produce these crops. ADDITIONAL INDEX WORDS. leaf unfolding, tubercle unfolding, Echeveria, Aloe, Materials and methods Crassula Three hundred sixty plants of 17 SUMMARY. One cactus and 17 succulent species/cultivars were grown at 10, 16, 22, ° two-year-old vegetatively propagated or 28 C (plant temperature) for 10 or 15 weeks. The change in leaf/tubercle succulent plant types and one sexually number at each temperature (after 10 or 15 weeks) was determined, and leaf/ tubercle-unfolding rate was calculated. ‘Jade Necklace’ kebab bush (Crassula propagated cactus species grown in rupestris ssp. marnieriana), ‘Lola’ echeveria (Echeveria), ‘Green Ice’ gasteraloe three 1/2-inch-diameter plastic pots (Gasteraloe), and lithops (Lithops species) leaf-unfolding rate per day was unaffected in a soilless media were received from by temperature.
