  • Soopolallie (Shepherdia Canadensis) Other Names: Soapberry, Canada Buffaloberry, Russet Buffaloberry
    Soopolallie (Shepherdia canadensis) Other names: Soapberry, Canada buffaloberry, Russet buffaloberry. Background Soopolallie is a shrub in the Oleaster family (Elaeagnaceae). Other BC plants in this family include the wolf-willow and the naturalized Russian olive. The name ‘soopolallie’ is from the Chinook language for soap (soop) and berry (olallie) (Parish et al 1996). Plant Morphology Soopolallie is a deciduous shrub 1-2 metres tall with brownish branches that are covered with small brownish-orange scabs. The young branches are covered with many rusty spots, as are the undersides of the leaves. The leaves (sparsely distributed along the branches) are opposite and oval with dark green upper surfaces and silvery-whitish hairs on the under surfaces. The yellowish-brown inconspicuous flowers are borne in clusters on stems, before the leaves open. Male and female flowers are produced on separate plants. The fruits are small, soft, bright red berries that are oval and somewhat translucent. They are juicy and edible but extremely bitter and soapy to touch (Parish et al 1996). Ecology In British Columbia, the soopolallie is widespread and very common at low to subalpine elevations in dry to moist open forests, openings and clearings (Parish et al 1996). It is a transcontinental shrub that occurs sporadically in the pacific region (not at all on the Queen Charlotte Islands) with its occurrence increasing with increasing continentality. It is commonly associated with pinegrass (Calamagrostis rubescens), twinflower (Linnaea borealis), and falsebox (Paxistima myrsinites). Soopolallie has a symbiotic relationship with nitrogen- fixing organisms (Klinka et al 1989). Often, the soopolallie is found on gravelly, shallow soils (Hebda 1995).

Based on nrDNA ITS Sequences OGyeong Son1, Chang Young Yoon2 and SeonJoo Park1* 1Department of Life Science, Yeungnam University, Gyeongsan 712-749, Korea 2Department of Biotechnology, Shingyeong University, Hwaseon 445-741, Korea Abstract - Molecular phylogenetic analyses of Korean Elaeagnus L. were conducted using seven species, one variety, one forma and four outgroups to evaluate their relationships and phylogeny. The sequences of internal transcribed spacer regions in nuclear ribosomal DNA were employed to construct phylogenetic relationships using maximum parsimony (MP) and Bayesian analysis. Molecular phylogenetic analysis revealed that Korean Elaeagnus was a polyphyly. E. umbellata var. coreana formed a subclade with E. umbellata. Additionally, the genetic difference between E. submacrophylla and E. macrophylla was very low. Moreover, E. submacrophylla formed a branch from E. macrophylla, indicating that E. submacrophylla can be regarded as a variety. However, several populations of this species were not clustered as a single clade; therefore, further study should be conducted using other molecular markers. Although E. glabra f. oxyphylla was distinct in morphological characters of leaf shape with E. glabra. But E. glabra f. oxyphylla was formed one clade by molecular phylogenetic with E. glabra. Additionally, this study clearly demonstrated that E. pungens occurs in Korea, although it was previously reported near South Korea in Japan and China. According to the results of ITS regions analyses, it showed a resolution and to verify the relationship between interspecies of Korean Elaeagnus.
