Guide to the Flora of the Carolinas, Virginia, and Georgia, Working Draft of 17 March 2004 -- LILIACEAE
Guide to the Flora of the Carolinas, Virginia, and Georgia, Working Draft of 17 March 2004 -- LILIACEAE LILIACEAE de Jussieu 1789 (Lily Family) (also see AGAVACEAE, ALLIACEAE, ALSTROEMERIACEAE, AMARYLLIDACEAE, ASPARAGACEAE, COLCHICACEAE, HEMEROCALLIDACEAE, HOSTACEAE, HYACINTHACEAE, HYPOXIDACEAE, MELANTHIACEAE, NARTHECIACEAE, RUSCACEAE, SMILACACEAE, THEMIDACEAE, TOFIELDIACEAE) As here interpreted narrowly, the Liliaceae constitutes about 11 genera and 550 species, of the Northern Hemisphere. There has been much recent investigation and re-interpretation of evidence regarding the upper-level taxonomy of the Liliales, with strong suggestions that the broad Liliaceae recognized by Cronquist (1981) is artificial and polyphyletic. Cronquist (1993) himself concurs, at least to a degree: "we still await a comprehensive reorganization of the lilies into several families more comparable to other recognized families of angiosperms." Dahlgren & Clifford (1982) and Dahlgren, Clifford, & Yeo (1985) synthesized an early phase in the modern revolution of monocot taxonomy. Since then, additional research, especially molecular (Duvall et al. 1993, Chase et al. 1993, Bogler & Simpson 1995, and many others), has strongly validated the general lines (and many details) of Dahlgren's arrangement. The most recent synthesis (Kubitzki 1998a) is followed as the basis for familial and generic taxonomy of the lilies and their relatives (see summary below). References: Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (1998, 2003); Tamura in Kubitzki (1998a). Our “liliaceous” genera (members of orders placed in the Lilianae) are therefore divided as shown below, largely following Kubitzki (1998a) and some more recent molecular analyses. ALISMATALES TOFIELDIACEAE: Pleea, Tofieldia. LILIALES ALSTROEMERIACEAE: Alstroemeria COLCHICACEAE: Colchicum, Uvularia. LILIACEAE: Clintonia, Erythronium, Lilium, Medeola, Prosartes, Streptopus, Tricyrtis, Tulipa. MELANTHIACEAE: Amianthium, Anticlea, Chamaelirium, Helonias, Melanthium, Schoenocaulon, Stenanthium, Veratrum, Toxicoscordion, Trillium, Xerophyllum, Zigadenus. -

Pilgrimage Schedule
50th Annual Spring Wildflower Pilgrimage April 12-14, 2019 CLAYTON, RABUN COUNTY, GEORGIA You are cordially invited to attend the Georgia Botanical Society’s 50th Annual Spring Wildflower Pilgrimage April 12-14, 2019 to be headquartered in Clayton, GA with field trips nearby and in adjoining areas including the Carolinas. We had our 2012 Pilgrimage in Clayton. In 2019 some of the field trip sites will be the same, but this time we will be about three weeks earlier. This means we will focus more on lower elevation sites. The pilgrimage will consist of a Friday night social with light hors d'oeuvres, a Saturday banquet with a special program and more great food. And as usual, there will be our terrific field trips to some very special places located in the region. Nestled in the extreme northeastern corner of Georgia, the 377 square miles of Rabun County comprise only 5% of our state’s part of the Blue Ridge Physiographic Province. Sixty percent of the county is in public lands under the management of the US Forest Service or the Georgia Department of Natural Resources. This beautiful mosaic of scenic valleys, high rugged mountains, clear streams, and lush forests is attractive year round, but offers a special floristic bounty each spring. Pilgrimage Schedule Friday, APRIL 12 8:00 am - 5:00 pm Field trips will meet at various times and places. Please consult the description for your particular trip. 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm Registration and social at The Diner, Rabun County Civic Center, located at 201 W. -

Received: 17 October 2017; Accepted: 1 December 2017; Published: 5 December 2017 Abstract: The species of the genus Trillium (Melanthiaceae alt. Trilliaceae) include perennial herbs with characteristic rhizomes mainly distributed in Asia and North America. Steroids and saponins are the main classes of phytochemicals present in these plants. This review summarizes and discusses the current knowledge on their chemistry, as well as the in vitro and in vivo studies carried out on the extracts, fractions and isolated pure compounds from the different species belonging to this genus, focusing on core biological properties, i.e., cytotoxic, antifungal and anti-inflammatory activities. Keywords: bioactive phytochemicals; cytotoxic activity; anti-inflammatory activity; analgesic activity; antifungal activity 1.

Central Chimney Rock State Park
Chimney Rock State Park Master Plan 2011 Figure 3.11: Study Area Soils RUTHERFORD COUNTY BUNCOMBE COUNTY HENDERSON COUNTY POLK COUNTY Chapter 3: Natural Resources 3-15 2011 Chimney Rock State Park Master Plan Flora, Fauna and Natural Communities The Chimney Rock State Park study area contains a diverse combination of flora and fauna due to its relationship to two different physiographic regions: the southern Blue Ridge Mountains and the Piedmont. With a substantial gradient in elevation, a varied topography, and the wide range of geology, Chimney Rock State Park supports a diverse set of natural communities as well as a high diversity of plants and animals. The study area contains su- perb habitat for well-known animal species such as black bear (Ursus americanus), white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), gray fox (Urocyon cinereoargenteus) and red fox (Vulpes vulpes, as well as rare species, including the green salamander (Aneides aeneus), the cerulean warbler (Dendroica cerulean), and the peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus). The study area is particularly notable for habitats that support a large number of rare plant species, including white irisette (Sysyrinchium dichotomum), sweet white trillium (Trillium simile), and Carolina saxifrage (Micranthes caroliniana). 1 3 2 4 6 5 7 1 White-tailed deer 3 Red fox; by R.

Although heritage areas are often recognized for the presence of rare species, their presence alone does not de- termine the final significance placed on a particular site. -
