A Numerical Taxonomy of the Genus Rosularia (Dc.) Stapf from Pakistan and Kashmir
Pak. J. Bot., 44(1): 349-354, 2012. A NUMERICAL TAXONOMY OF THE GENUS ROSULARIA (DC.) STAPF FROM PAKISTAN AND KASHMIR GHULAM RASOOL SARWAR* AND MUHAMMAD QAISER Centre for Plant Conservation, University of Karachi, Karachi-75270, Pakistan Federal Urdu University of Arts, Science and Technology, Gulshan-e-Iqbal, Karachi, Pakistan Abstract Numerical analysis of the taxa belonging to the genus Rosularia (DC.) Stapf was carried out to find out their phenetic relationship. Data from different disciplines viz. general, pollen and seed morphology, chemistry and distribution pattern were used. As a result of cluster analysis two distinct groups are formed. Out of which one group consists of R. sedoides (Decne.) H. Ohba and R. alpestris A. Boriss. while other group comprises R. adenotricha (Wall. ex Edgew.) Jansson ssp. adenotricha , R. adenotricha ssp. chitralica, G.R. Sarwar, R. rosulata (Edgew.) H. Ohba and R. viguieri (Raym.-Hamet ex Frod.) G.R. Sarwar. Distribution maps of all the taxa, along with key to the taxa are also presented. Introduction studied the genus Rosularia and indicated that the genus is polyphyletic. Mayuzumi & Ohba (2004) analyzed the Rosularia is a small genus composed of 28 species, relationships within the genus Rosularia. According to distributed in arid or semiarid regions ranging from N. different workers Rosularia is polyphyletic. Africa to C. Asia through E. Mediterranean (Mabberley, There are no reports on numerical studies of 2008). Some of the taxa of Rosularia are in general Crassulaceae except the genus Sedum from Pakistan cultivation and several have great appeal due to their (Sarwar & Qaiser, 2011). The primary aim of this study is extraordinarily regular rosettes on the leaf colouring in to analyze diagnostic value of morphological characters in various seasons. -

The current review gives an overview of extreme temperatures in the European Alps and observations of Keywords: temperature damage on plants in their natural habitats. Furthermore, seasonal time courses of frost and Bioclimate temperatures heat resistance derived from laboratory tests on different plant growth forms are presented. Study Frost resistance species were the cushion plants Silene acaulis, Minuartia sedoides, Saxifraga oppositifolia and Carex firma Heat resistance collected on wind-exposed ridges; the rosette plant Soldanella alpina collected on snow-protected sites, Cross-tolerance and three Sempervivum species collected in xerothermic habitats. Adaptation The temperature resistance of leaves, stems, rhizomes and roots were tested in two annual time Winter drought courses. Frost treatments were conducted in controlled freezers by rapid cooling (10 K hÀ1, for current resistance) as well as by stepwise cooling (1–3 K hÀ1, for hardening capacity). Heat treatments followed a standardised procedure by exposing samples to heat for 30 min in hot water baths. -

Sedum 'Autumn Joy'
Yard and Garden – 09-20-2014- Ted Griess/ Extension Horticulture Assistant Autumn officially arrives in two days. Typically, when one thinks of beautiful autumn flowers, chrysanthemums and asters come to mind. Perhaps not as prevalent but just as beautiful is another autumn flower, one that even has the word autumn in its variety name. In our yard and throughout the countryside, I have been noticing ‘Autumn Joy’ in full bloom. This variety of flowering plant belongs to the genus Sedum. Such plants are commonly called showy stonecrop sedum or border stonecrop sedum. The word sedum itself is so widely used that it, too, has become a common name for the plant. ‘Autumn Joy’ sedums are upright perennial plants with thick stems and succulent, fleshy leaves. Their stout, sturdy stems support massive flower heads which develop in summer and burst into bloom in autumn. The flowers begin blooming in shades of pale pink Sedum ‘Autumn Joy’ and light mauve then changing to a deep rose and beautiful bronze as autumn progresses. Even after frost, the flowers of ‘Autumn Joy’ remain attractive well into the winter. If the plants are left standing, they not only provide winter interest but become a great food source for birds. Deer do not particularly like them which is good news for those living on acreages. Interestingly, there are numerous types of sedum, all of which have fleshy, succulent leaves. Low-growing varieties hug the ground and may reach just two inches in height; whereas, tall varieties top out at two feet or more. Sedums offer an assortment of attributes. -
