Collector's & Bulb Lists 175 Arbutus Rd. Salt Spring Island, B.C. V8K 1A3 Ph/ Fax(250) 537-5788 Specializing in Native, Rare and Unusual Plants at www.thimblefarms.com Hours of Operation: February Through December: Open 9-4:30 daily; July through August we will be open but how much will depend on staffing- please phone before coming to the nursery. Welcome to our 2009 catalogue. With the nursery and, indeed, most of the country, locked in a winter wonderland of ice and snow it seems like a good time to plan and dream about when we can escape into the oases of our own gardens to relax, enjoy the simpler things and escape the turmoil that surrounds us. With that in mind, we have endeavored to bring you a bevy of new plant treasures from around the world so you can explore the possibility of adding something new, rare or exotic to your garden. Perhaps you are thinking of enhancing an existing garden, or developing something with a theme, for example an Asian garden, or more specifically a Kashmir bed or Himalayan border. Maybe you’ve always dreamed about filling a bed with Cypripediums and other exotic, but hardy, orchids, expanding a woodland bed with a fernery or creating a native garden. Regardless of your vision, we have something new for you to try. Throughout the catalogue you will find new additions to almost all groups: Ferns, Hardy Orchids, Cypripediums, Hostas, Native plants, Sarracenias and more. We have also worked hard to bring back popular treasures we once offered like the double Anemonellas, Himalayan Maidenhair Fern and Arisaemas, just to name a few. We sincerely hope our plant offerings will help you create a garden that fulfills and inspires you. After all, isn’t that what gardening is all about. Best wishes and happy gardening, All of us at Thimble Farms Native and North American Native (N.A. Native) plants are indicated as such. Native means plants that are indigenous to the Pacific Northwest; which for our purposes is defined as Alaska, British Columbia, Washington, Oregon and Northern California. In most cases; however, the plants are native to British Columbia. Plant height (Ht.) or occasionally flower height (Fl.Ht.) is given next in our descriptions, followed by hardiness zone (Z). Most of coastal B.C. is zone 8; the Gulf Islands and most of Victoria are zone 9. To determine what zone you are in, refer to the table on page 2 and remember that the temperatures listed are the twenty year, annual low temperature range in Celsius or Fahrenheit. They are not the absolute low for the zone. As all plants are container grown, we usually state pot size along with plant prices to give an indication of the size of the plant, which will vary depending on species. Pot sizes are standard nursery pots; 1gal = 1gallon pot etc. Prices listed are F.O.B. our farm. Shipping and mail order information is at the back of the catalogue. Collector's & Bulb Lists We are now putting out a fall bulb list and a collector's list each year. The bulb list will have over four hundred varieties of bulbs, from the common to the extremely rare. We try to put out two collector's lists a year. The first comes out between November and April and will list new plants, plants available in small quantities and bulbous plants that should be moved at that time of the year, while dormant. This list will be posted on the web site, not mailed. We also put out our main collectors list in July with our bulb list to list all the new plants we have ready then, so some of you don't have to wait a whole year for our next catalogue. These lists are posted on our Website www.thimblefarms.comonly, no hard copies will be printed. An easy to print PDF version will be posted as well. 1 Trades We are always on the look out for new plants and are constantly searching for new sources of supply around the world. Whether you are a private gardener with surplus plants or a wholesale commercial nursery, we would be interested in hearing from you. We are interested in all sorts of plant material, in small or large quantities, often to add to our current stocks. If you have a species or variety that you think we may be interested in please contact us. If at all possible please suggest your price or trade requirements. We will try to respond quickly and try to make each offer reasonable and fair. Of course, there is no obligation on your part. We also consider trades for seeds. We would like to thank all those that traded with us in the last year. Many of the new plants we now offer come to us first via our customers.

We have never had so many problems in fitting the range of plants we have “on our books” into the available space! We always try and keep our lists “democratic” and balanced although at times our prejudices show and one or two groups rise to the top. This year we are offering an unprecedented range of calochortus in a multiplicity of sizes, colours and flower shapes from the charming fairy lanterns of C. albidus through to the spectacular, later-flowering mariposas with upward-facing bowl-shaped flowers in a rich tapestry of shades from canary-yellow through to lilac, lavender and purple. Counterpoised to these flashy dandies we are offering an assortment of choice muscari whose quiet charm, softer colours and Tulipa vvedenskyi Tecophilaea cyanocrocus Violacea persistent flowering make them no less effective in the winter and spring garden. Standouts among this group are the deliciously scented duo, M. muscarimi and M. macrocarpum and the striking and little known tassel-hyacith, M. weissii. While it has its devotees, many gardeners are unaware of the qualities of the large and diverse tribe of “onions”, known as alliums.

  • Circumscription and Phylogeny of Apiaceae Subfamily Saniculoideae Based on Chloroplast DNA Sequences
    ARTICLE IN PRESS Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution xxx (2007) xxx–xxx www.elsevier.com/locate/ympev Circumscription and phylogeny of Apiaceae subfamily Saniculoideae based on chloroplast DNA sequences Carolina I. Calviño a,b,¤, Stephen R. Downie a a Department of Plant Biology, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Urbana, IL 61801-3707, USA b Instituto de Botánica Darwinion, Buenos Aires, Argentina Received 14 July 2006; revised 3 January 2007; accepted 4 January 2007 Abstract An estimate of phylogenetic relationships within Apiaceae subfamily Saniculoideae was inferred using data from the chloroplast DNA trnQ-trnK 5Ј-exon region to clarify the circumscription of the subfamily and to assess the monophyly of its constituent genera. Ninety- one accessions representing 14 genera and 82 species of Apiaceae were examined, including the genera Steganotaenia, Polemanniopsis, and Lichtensteinia which have been traditionally treated in subfamily Apioideae but determined in recent studies to be more closely related to or included within subfamily Saniculoideae. The trnQ-trnK 5Ј-exon region includes two intergenic spacers heretofore underutilized in molecular systematic studies and the rps16 intron. Analyses of these loci permitted an assessment of the relative utility of these noncoding regions (including the use of indel characters) for phylogenetic study at diVerent hierarchical levels. The use of indels in phylogenetic anal- yses of both combined and partitioned data sets improves resolution of relationships, increases bootstrap support values, and decreases levels of overall homoplasy. Intergeneric relationships derived from maximum parsimony, Bayesian, and maximum likelihood analyses, as well as from maximum parsimony analysis of indel data alone, are fully resolved and consistent with one another and generally very well supported.

The pollen was probably produced by wetland or aquatic plants, adapted to a sudden change in the water regime during the vegetation season. The pattern of the exine sculpture and spo- roderm ultrastructure suggests that insects contributed to pollination. The flange and unevenly thickened endexine could facilitate harmomegathy. A tetragonal or rhomboidal tetrad type seems to be most logical for Wodehouseia pollen. The infratectum structure suggests that Wodehouseia should be placed within an advanced group of eudicots. Keywords: Wodehouseia, exine morphology, sporoderm ultrastructure, “oculata” group, Maastrichtian DOI: 10.1134/S0031030119020126 INTRODUCTION that has lost its flange (see a review Wiggins, 1976).
