    Flora of the Carolinas, Virginia, and Georgia, Working Draft of 17 March 2004 -- ERICACEAE ERICACEAE (Heath Family) A family of about 107 genera and 3400 species, primarily shrubs, small trees, and subshrubs, nearly cosmopolitan. The Ericaceae is very important in our area, with a great diversity of genera and species, many of them rather narrowly endemic. Our area is one of the north temperate centers of diversity for the Ericaceae. Along with Quercus and Pinus, various members of this family are dominant in much of our landscape. References: Kron et al. (2002); Wood (1961); Judd & Kron (1993); Kron & Chase (1993); Luteyn et al. (1996)=L; Dorr & Barrie (1993); Cullings & Hileman (1997). Main Key, for use with flowering or fruiting material 1 Plant an herb, subshrub, or sprawling shrub, not clonal by underground rhizomes (except Gaultheria procumbens and Epigaea repens), rarely more than 3 dm tall; plants mycotrophic or hemi-mycotrophic (except Epigaea, Gaultheria, and Arctostaphylos). 2 Plants without chlorophyll (fully mycotrophic); stems fleshy; leaves represented by bract-like scales, white or variously colored, but not green; pollen grains single; [subfamily Monotropoideae; section Monotropeae]. 3 Petals united; fruit nodding, a berry; flower and fruit several per stem . Monotropsis 3 Petals separate; fruit erect, a capsule; flower and fruit 1-several per stem. 4 Flowers few to many, racemose; stem pubescent, at least in the inflorescence; plant yellow, orange, or red when fresh, aging or drying dark brown ...............................................Hypopitys 4 Flower solitary; stem glabrous; plant white (rarely pink) when fresh, aging or drying black .

  • One-Flowered Pyrola Moneses Uniflora
    Natural Heritage One-flowered Pyrola & Endangered Species Moneses uniflora (Linnaeus) A. Gray Program www.mass.gov/nhesp State Status: Special Concern Massachusetts Division of Fisheries & Wildlife Federal Status: None DESCRIPTION: One-flowered Pyrola is a small, 3–10 cm tall, evergreen, herbaceous perennial in the family Ericaceae (Heath Family). As its name implies, it has one, waxy, creamy-white flower that blooms in June and July. It is borne on a stalk above one to four whorls of basal leaves. The flowers are fragrant and attract pollinating bumblebees. Plants grow from horizontal roots in a clonal group in cool, mesic shade in pine woodlands or bogs, in litter or on mossy banks. One-flowered Pyrola is mycoheterotrophic (dependent or parasitic on host fungi for nutrients) during seed germination and seedling development (Johnson 2014) Seedlings remain underground for several years before forming above-ground basal leaves and then become autotrophic (nutrients synthesized using energy from Photo by William Moorhead photosynthesis) (Johnson et al. 2015) AIDS TO IDENTIFICATION: One-flowered Pyrola is erect marginal lobes, and ten anthers. Leaves are sub- fairly easy to identify. The single, nodding, rotate orbicular, 1–2 cm (1/2 to 1 in.), glossy green on the (radially symmetrical) flower is 1.5–2.5 cm (3/4 to 1 in.) upper-side and dull green on the underside with slightly across. It has five petals that are 8–12 x 4–8 mm (3/8" x dentate-crenate (rounded teeth) margins. Fruit is a sub- ¼") with minute teeth on the margins, a stigma with five orbicular capsule approximately 4–8 x 5–9 mm (¼" x ¼") which is borne upright and opens from the top down with approximately 1000 dust (minute) seeds.

  • Networks in a Large-Scale Phylogenetic Analysis: Reconstructing Evolutionary History of Asparagales (Lilianae) Based on Four Plastid Genes
    Networks in a Large-Scale Phylogenetic Analysis: Reconstructing Evolutionary History of Asparagales (Lilianae) Based on Four Plastid Genes Shichao Chen1., Dong-Kap Kim2., Mark W. Chase3, Joo-Hwan Kim4* 1 College of Life Science and Technology, Tongji University, Shanghai, China, 2 Division of Forest Resource Conservation, Korea National Arboretum, Pocheon, Gyeonggi- do, Korea, 3 Jodrell Laboratory, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Richmond, United Kingdom, 4 Department of Life Science, Gachon University, Seongnam, Gyeonggi-do, Korea Abstract Phylogenetic analysis aims to produce a bifurcating tree, which disregards conflicting signals and displays only those that are present in a large proportion of the data. However, any character (or tree) conflict in a dataset allows the exploration of support for various evolutionary hypotheses. Although data-display network approaches exist, biologists cannot easily and routinely use them to compute rooted phylogenetic networks on real datasets containing hundreds of taxa. Here, we constructed an original neighbour-net for a large dataset of Asparagales to highlight the aspects of the resulting network that will be important for interpreting phylogeny. The analyses were largely conducted with new data collected for the same loci as in previous studies, but from different species accessions and greater sampling in many cases than in published analyses. The network tree summarised the majority data pattern in the characters of plastid sequences before tree building, which largely confirmed the currently recognised phylogenetic relationships. Most conflicting signals are at the base of each group along the Asparagales backbone, which helps us to establish the expectancy and advance our understanding of some difficult taxa relationships and their phylogeny.
