China ADDITIONAL INDEX WORDS. Paeonia ABSTRACT. The pollen morphology of 26 cultivars of herbaceous peony (Paeonia L.) was examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Pollen grains of the cultivars were mostly subprolate to perprolate, tricolporate, or ellipsoidal in equatorial view, but rounded-trifid in polar view. The poles of pollen grains were mainly flat when viewed in cross-section and only a few appeared to have a circular or arc shape. In addition, the surface of the pollen grains was psilate, and the muri were partly or fully protuberant with a reticulate surface sculpture. However, the shapes and sizes of pollen grains as well as surface ornamentation varied significantly among cultivars with different chromosome numbers. The pollen grains from diploid cultivars were regular and full, and the reticulation holes were evenly distributed, while most of the pollen grains from triploid cultivars were empty flat shells with some heteromorphic pollen whose surface ornamentation was mostly rugulate-reticulate exine. The pollen grains from tetraploid cultivars were the largest although pollen morphology and surface ornamentation differed between Athena and Cream Delight. Six indices [polar axis length (P), equator axis length (E), P/E, pollen perforation diameter (D), ridge width (W), and D/W] were used in Q cluster analysis, which divided the 26 cultivars into three groups. Group I included eight diploid, four triploid, and one tetraploid cultivar. Group II included 12 triploid cultivars with complex genetic backgrounds. Group III included only one tetraploid cultivar Cream Delight. This work may provide an important palynological basis for studying taxonomy and hybrid breeding of herbaceous peony cultivars.

    CYTOGENETIC STUDIES IN PAEONIA I. THE COMPATIBILITY OF THE SPECIES AND THE APPEARANCE OF THE HYBRIDS A. P. SAUNDERS AND G. L. STEBBINS, JR. Hamilton College, Clinton, New York, and University oj California, Berkeley, California Received September 4, 1937 INTRODUCTION INCE 1916, the senior author has carried on an extensive series of S crossing experiments in the genus Paeonia, with the object both of ob- taining new horticultural forms and of securing evidence concerning the interrelationships of the species and the processes of evolution within the genus. Some accounts of the hybrids have already been published (SAUN- DERS 1928, 1933a, 193313). The junior author began cytological work on the species and hybrids in 1932, continuing that started by the late Dr. G. C. HICKS,whose work along with additional data obtained by the junior author has also been published (HICKSand STEBBINS1934). Since that time the cytological as well as the morphological study of the hybrids has progressed steadily, except that it was somewhat interrupted by the departure of the junior author for California in 1935. The following limitations prevent a cytogenetic study of this genus com- parable to that carried on in other genera, such as Crepis, Nicotiana, and Datura. Peony seeds are slow of germination, and the plant takes several years to mature; from the date of hybridization to the season of first blooms is usually a gap of six or seven years. This makes it difficult for one individual to raise many successive generations. An added difficulty is that most interspecific hybrids in Paeonia are completely sterile for at least two or three years after they first begin to bloom; older plants of al- most all the hybrids, when they have established themselves as strong clumps, set occasional seeds, usually not more than one or two to an entire plant.

    2020 Spring Distribution The staff, Board, and volunteers of the Rhododendron Species Botanical Garden (RSBG) are pleased to present our latest selection of Rhododendron species and companion plants. We provide the finest and largest selection of documented and verified as true to name clones of Rhododendron species in North America. We also offer a large selection of species grown from seed, the majority of these from wild populations. Seedlings provide an exciting opportunity to acquire taxa new to cultivation. They also provide the collector with the opportunity to grow those desirable species not readily produced through asexual propagation. Our ever-expanding collection of non-rhododendrons or “companion plants” provides the opportunity to acquire an outstanding range of rare and hard to find treasures selected from around the world. Your purchases directly fund the mission of the RSF. In addition to your own selections, don’t forget your neighbors, relatives, and friends - our plants make great and unusual gifts. RSF plants also make great door prizes and auction items at American Rhododendron Society and other garden club meetings. We hope you enjoy the catalog and are happy with the plants you receive.
