Not only are the flowers colorful, the leaves can be light green, dark green or green and maroon. Light: The Lipstick vine will not bloom without adequate light. They require very bright, indirect light. Avoid placing this plant in full shade or full sun. Direct sun will burn the leaves. The plant needs bright light for a portion of the day, but not all day long. Water: If you allow the top 25% of the soil to dry out before watering, this plant will flower more frequently and more abundant. If the leaves appear soft and shriveled, give it more water. These plants will also lose green leaves TIPS: when over-watered. • Lipstick plants like warm temperatures between 75-85°F. : Fertilizer every other week in the Fertilizing • Prefers high humidity, but will do well in Spring and Summer and only monthly in the basic household humidity too. Fall and Winter with a houseplant food high in • Trim the long vines to prevent the plant phosphorous. Always dilute the fertilizer to ½ from becoming thin and straggly. the recommended strength. • Lipstick Plants are Non-Poisonous. • Keep a lipstick plant in a small pot will help it produce more flowers. When put into a large container, instead of producing flowers it grows more leaves. www.primexgardencenter.com Tips: Scheffleras’ don’t like being moved about, and they may shed .

Outline of Angiosperm Phylogeny
Outline of angiosperm phylogeny: orders, families, and representative genera with emphasis on Oregon native plants Priscilla Spears December 2013 The following listing gives an introduction to the phylogenetic classification of the flowering plants that has emerged in recent decades, and which is based on nucleic acid sequences as well as morphological and developmental data. This listing emphasizes temperate families of the Northern Hemisphere and is meant as an overview with examples of Oregon native plants. It includes many exotic genera that are grown in Oregon as ornamentals plus other plants of interest worldwide. The genera that are Oregon natives are printed in a blue font. Genera that are exotics are shown in black, however genera in blue may also contain non-native species. Names separated by a slash are alternatives or else the nomenclature is in flux. When several genera have the same common name, the names are separated by commas. The order of the family names is from the linear listing of families in the APG III report. For further information, see the references on the last page. Basal Angiosperms (ANITA grade) Amborellales Amborellaceae, sole family, the earliest branch of flowering plants, a shrub native to New Caledonia – Amborella Nymphaeales Hydatellaceae – aquatics from Australasia, previously classified as a grass Cabombaceae (water shield – Brasenia, fanwort – Cabomba) Nymphaeaceae (water lilies – Nymphaea; pond lilies – Nuphar) Austrobaileyales Schisandraceae (wild sarsaparilla, star vine – Schisandra; Japanese

Temporal and Spatial Origin of Gesneriaceae in the New World Inferred from Plastid DNA Sequences
bs_bs_banner Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 2013, 171, 61–79. With 3 figures Temporal and spatial origin of Gesneriaceae in the New World inferred from plastid DNA sequences MATHIEU PERRET1*, ALAIN CHAUTEMS1, ANDRÉA ONOFRE DE ARAUJO2 and NICOLAS SALAMIN3,4 1Conservatoire et Jardin botaniques de la Ville de Genève, Ch. de l’Impératrice 1, CH-1292 Chambésy, Switzerland 2Centro de Ciências Naturais e Humanas, Universidade Federal do ABC, Rua Santa Adélia, 166, Bairro Bangu, Santo André, Brazil 3Department of Ecology and Evolution, University of Lausanne, CH-1015 Lausanne, Switzerland 4Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics, Quartier Sorge, CH-1015 Lausanne, Switzerland Received 15 December 2011; revised 3 July 2012; accepted for publication 18 August 2012 Gesneriaceae are represented in the New World (NW) by a major clade (c. 1000 species) currently recognized as subfamily Gesnerioideae. Radiation of this group occurred in all biomes of tropical America and was accompanied by extensive phenotypic and ecological diversification. Here we performed phylogenetic analyses using DNA sequences from three plastid loci to reconstruct the evolutionary history of Gesnerioideae and to investigate its relationship with other lineages of Gesneriaceae and Lamiales. Our molecular data confirm the inclusion of the South Pacific Coronanthereae and the Old World (OW) monotypic genus Titanotrichum in Gesnerioideae and the sister-group relationship of this subfamily to the rest of the OW Gesneriaceae. Calceolariaceae and the NW genera Peltanthera and Sanango appeared successively sister to Gesneriaceae, whereas Cubitanthus, which has been previously assigned to Gesneriaceae, is shown to be related to Linderniaceae. Based on molecular dating and biogeographical reconstruction analyses, we suggest that ancestors of Gesneriaceae originated in South America during the Late Cretaceous.

Stamens epipetalous, included in or exserted from corolla tube, 2 or 4 and didyna- mous; filaments distinct, connate in pairs, or monadelphous basally via a sheath (Strobilanthes); anthers with 1 or 2 thecae; thecae parallel to perpendicular, equally inserted to superposed, spherical to linear, base muticous or spurred, usually longitudinally dehis- cent; staminodes 0–3, consisting of minute projections or sterile filaments.

Cytotaxonomic Observations in the Genus Aeschynanthus (Gesneriaceae)
EDINB. J. BOT. 58 (1): 31–43 (2001) 31 CYTOTAXONOMIC OBSERVATIONS IN THE GENUS AESCHYNANTHUS (GESNERIACEAE) M. H. R*, K. J†‡ & M. M† This study is a contribution to the further understanding of cytological patterns in Aeschynanthus (Gesneriacaeae). Chromosome numbers are reported for 12 species from six sections; nine of these are new counts. Two basic numbers, x=16 and x=15, are generally encountered. Aeschynanthus gracilis proved to be of exceptional interest, as its rare somatic number, 2n=28, confirms the occurrence of a third basic number, x= 14, in the genus. Variation in chromosome number in relation to seed morphology is examined. Keywords. Aeschynanthus, chromosomes, cytotaxonomy, Gesneriaceae, sectional relationships. I Aeschynanthus Jack (Gesneriaceae, subfamily Cyrtandroideae, tribe Trichosporeae)is a genus of some 150 species of perennial, usually epiphytic, subshrubs distributed from India and China and throughout SE Asia to the Solomon Islands. The tribe Trichosporeae (consisting of Aeschynanthus, Agalmyla (including Dichrotrichium), Loxostigma, Lysionotus, and the doubtful monotypic genus Micraeschynanthus)is distinguished by the possession of appendages, often hair-like, at each end of the seed. The apical appendage is always single, but in Aeschynanthus the number and form of the hilar appendages are taxonomically important. Bentham (1876) first proposed a sectional classification of Aeschynanthus based almost entirely on seed appendages, and recognized four sections: Polytrichium, Diplotrichium, Haplotrichium, and Holocalyx (now sect. Aeschynanthus). Clarke (1883) added sect. Microtrichium. Schlechter (1923) added sect. Anisocalyx but this was subsumed under Microtrichium by Burtt & Woods (1975), while Wang (1984) created sect. Xanthanthos, based not on seed but on corolla characters, to accommodate a single Chinese species.

Zjhra, and many others [estimated 25 families, 1041 genera, and ca. 21,878 species in Lamiales] The goal of this project is to produce a working infraordinal classification of the Lamiales to genus with information on distribution and species richness. All recognized taxa will be clades; adherence to Linnaean ranks is optional. Synonymy is very incomplete (comprehensive synonymy is not a goal of the project, but could be incorporated). Although I anticipate producing a publishable version of this classification at a future date, my near- term goal is to produce a web-accessible version, which will be available to the public and which will be updated regularly through input from systematists familiar with taxa within the Lamiales. For further information on the project and to provide information for future versions, please contact R. Olmstead via email at [email protected], or by regular mail at: Department of Biology, Box 355325, University of Washington, Seattle WA 98195, USA.
