Protect Oak Tree Seedlings from Browsing Using Paper Bud Caps
Field Tip #13 May 2013 PROTECT OAK TREE SEEDLINGS FROM BROWSING USING PAPER BUD CAPS By Doug Hecker, Silviculture Program Forester - Sandstone Depredation by deer on planted and natural oak tree seedlings can be a severe problem. Repeated browsing will restrict growth dramatically, creating very deformed seedlings and saplings, repeated dieback and re-sprouting, and even mortality. After many years of effort to control browsing using balloons, tree shelters, repellants, fencing, and dry wall joint tape, a successful technique, using 4” x 4” bud cap paper, was developed to protect hardwood seedlings. Although effective 65 to 75% of the time, balloons can have negative effects on about one-third of the trees, causing dieback on the terminal bud. A lateral bud then takes over as the new terminal bud, sometimes deforming the shape of the tree. Balloons need to be applied only when conditions are Figure 1: 4 x 4 inch piece of bud cap paper dry. If they are applied after a rain or even a heavy morning due, the terminal bud can rot, and die back. Oak should be bud capped in October, after the leaves have started to senesce; at the point where the leaf starts to turn red, before dropping, or easily pulls off without damaging the leaf cuticle or stem of the tree. This period is usually during the first three weeks of October, before the leaves drop. The seedlings can be capped after leaf drop, however it is easier for crews to identify oak seedlings while the leaves are still on. Oaks tend to retain their leaves even after they change color and become dormant. -
Oncidium Intergenerics at Woolf Orchidculture by John Woolf
Oncidium Intergenerics at Woolf Orchidculture by John Woolf The Oncidium Intergenerics Section of our Oncidium Intergenerics House Miltoniopsis or the Crispum type Odontoglossums will not be discussed here as I have produced an article on the Miltoniopsis and will be updating an older article on the Crispum ‐ type Odontoglossums also because they require specialised conditions to grow them successfully, so watch forr this article in the future. This article looks at the combinations of the following Genera that give us easy growing plants that tolerate a wide range of temperatures and growing conditions. SPECIES Some of the different genera used include Ada Aspasia Brassia Cochlioda Comparettia Ionopsis Leochilus Gomesia Miltonia (Brazilian) Odontoglossum Oncidium Rodriguezia and Trichocentrum. And the Synonyms Cuitlauzina Lemboglossum Osmoglossum Otostylis Psychopsis Psygmorchiis Rossioglossum Symphyglossum and Ticoglossum. These species come from Central America ( Florida through Mexico, Guatemala to Brazil ) and the majority of these are easy to grow under artificial conditiions subsequently the hybrids from them are also easy to grow not requiring any specialised conditions in intermediate to warm areas. Many are quite suitable for landscaping on trees etc around the Garden and on rocks around artificial ponds and waterfalls in temperate sub‐tropical and tropical areas. With so many genera and the hundreds of speciies represented by the genera within this Alliance it is no wonder that there are many thousands of hybrids scattered over many Grexes for the enthusiast to choose from. © 2011 Woolf Orchid Culture.

Secorun and Luiz Antonio de Souza* Departamento de Biologia, Universidade Estadual de Maringá, Avenida Colombo, 5790, (87020-900) Maringá, Paraná, Brasil. *Correspondent: [email protected] Abstract. Rhipsalis cereuscula Haw., Rhipsalis floccosa subsp. hohenauensis (F. Ritter) Barthlott et N. P. Taylor and Lepismium cruciforme (Vellozo) Miquel are obligatory epiphytes that occur frequently on tree trunks of remnant forests in Maringa, Paraná state, Brazil. Morphological and anatomical analyses regarding the seedlings were carried out. The seedlings were prepared according to techniques of resin inclusions and histochemical tests. Seedlings were phanerocotyledonar and originated from seeds with operculum. The root was diarch and the hypocotyl presented transition root-stem structure. The cotyledons were sessile, reduced, with homogeneous mesophyll. The epicotyl (phylloclade) presented a lot of parenchyma and reduced vascular cylinder. The 3 studied species showed anatomical characteristics similar to those described for species of Lepismium and Rhipsalis as well as other cacti. Key words: epiphyte, root, hypocotyl, cotyledons, epicotyl, areola. Resumen. Rhipsalis cereuscula Haw., Rhipsalis floccosa subsp. hohenauensis (F. Ritter) Barthlott et N. P.

Alyssum) and the Correct Name of the Goldentuft Alyssum
ARNOLDIA VE 1 A continuation of the BULLETIN OF POPULAR INFORMATION of the Arnold Arboretum, Harvard University VOLUME 26 JUNE 17, 1966 NUMBERS 6-7 ORNAMENTAL MADWORTS (ALYSSUM) AND THE CORRECT NAME OF THE GOLDENTUFT ALYSSUM of the standard horticultural reference works list the "Madworts" as MANYa group of annuals, biennials, perennials or subshrubs in the family Cru- ciferae, which with the exception of a few species, including the goldentuft mad- wort, are not widely cultivated. The purposes of this article are twofold. First, to inform interested gardeners, horticulturists and plantsmen that this exception, with a number of cultivars, does not belong to the genus Alyssum, but because of certain critical and technical characters, should be placed in the genus Aurinia of the same family. The second goal is to emphasize that many species of the "true" .~lyssum are notable ornamentals and merit greater popularity and cul- tivation. The genus Alyssum (now containing approximately one hundred and ninety species) was described by Linnaeus in 1753 and based on A. montanum, a wide- spread European species which is cultivated to a limited extent only. However, as medicinal and ornamental garden plants the genus was known in cultivation as early as 1650. The name Alyssum is of Greek derivation : a meaning not, and lyssa alluding to madness, rage or hydrophobia. Accordingly, the names Mad- wort and Alyssum both refer to the plant’s reputation as an officinal herb. An infu- sion concocted from the leaves and flowers was reputed to have been administered as a specific antidote against madness or the bite of a rabid dog. -

Content writer: Dr.AvishekBhattacharjee, Central National Herbarium, Botanical Survey of India, P.O. – B. Garden, Howrah – 711 103. Module – 15; Content writer: AvishekBhattacharjee Botanical Nomenclature:Concept – A name is a handle by which a mental image is passed. Names are just labels we use to ensure we are understood when we communicate. Nomenclature is a mechanism for unambiguous communication about the elements of taxonomy. Botanical Nomenclature, i.e. naming of plants is that part of plant systematics dealing with application of scientific names to plants according to some set rules. It is related to, but distinct from taxonomy. A botanical name is a unique identifier to which information of a taxon can be attached, thus enabling the movement of data across languages, scientific disciplines, and electronic retrieval systems. A plant’s name permits ready summarization of information content of the taxon in a nested framework. A systemofnamingplantsforscientificcommunicationmustbe international inscope,andmustprovideconsistencyintheapplicationof names.Itmustalsobeacceptedbymost,ifnotall,membersofthe scientific community. These criteria led, almost inevitably, to International Botanical Congresses (IBCs) being the venue at which agreement on a system of scientific nomenclature for plants was sought. The IBCs led to publication of different ‘Codes’ which embodied the rules and regulations of botanical nomenclature and the decisions taken during these Congresses. Advantages ofBotanical Nomenclature: Though a common name may be much easier to remember, there are several good reasons to use botanical names for plant identification. Common names are not unique to a specific plant. -

Generic and Subtribal Relationships in Neotropical Cymbidieae (Orchidaceae) Based on Matk/Ycf1 Plastid Data
LANKESTERIANA 13(3): 375—392. 2014. I N V I T E D P A P E R* GENERIC AND SUBTRIBAL RELATIONSHIPS IN NEOTROPICAL CYMBIDIEAE (ORCHIDACEAE) BASED ON MATK/YCF1 PLASTID DATA W. MARK WHITTEN1,2, KURT M. NEUBIG1 & N. H. WILLIAMS1 1Florida Museum of Natural History, University of Florida Gainesville, FL 32611-7800 USA 2Corresponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT. Relationships among all subtribes of Neotropical Cymbidieae (Orchidaceae) were estimated using combined matK/ycf1 plastid sequence data for 289 taxa. The matrix was analyzed using RAxML. Bootstrap (BS) analyses yield 100% BS support for all subtribes except Stanhopeinae (87%). Generic relationships within subtribes are highly resolved and are generally congruent with those presented in previous studies and as summarized in Genera Orchidacearum. Relationships among subtribes are largely unresolved. The Szlachetko generic classification of Maxillariinae is not supported. A new combination is made for Maxillaria cacaoensis J.T.Atwood in Camaridium.

Catalogue of the Vascular Epiphytic Flora of Uruguay
Acta Botanica Brasilica doi: 10.1590/0102-33062019abb0059 Catalogue of the vascular epiphytic flora of Uruguay Patricia Mai1* , Andrés Rossado2 , José Mauricio Bonifacino2,3 and Jorge Luiz Waechter4 Received: February 21, 2019 Accepted: June 17, 2019 . ABSTRACT We provide an updated list of the vascular epiphytic flora occurring in native environments of Uruguay based on literature review, herbarium specimens, and fieldwork throughout the country. The catalogue provides standardized information for each species, including accepted name, synonyms used within Uruguay, epiphytic category, distribution within the country, habitat, conservation status, observations, and a voucher citation. The effort documented 73 species for the epiphytic flora of Uruguay (3 % of the flora), distributed among 29 genera and 12 families. Bromeliaceae was the richest family (17), followed by Polypodiaceae (16) and Orchidaceae (12). Tillandsia stood out as the most speciose genus with 15 species. Characteristic holoepiphytes was the most diverse ecological category. More than half of the epiphytic species documented for Uruguay (53 %) reach their southernmost geographic distribution in the country, whereas only two mostly epipetric species of Tillandsia — T. arequitae and T. uruguayensis — are endemic to the country. Almost half of the epiphytic species found are presently under categories of threat of extinction, with 60 % of them occurring in national protected areas. Both the richest epiphytic families and the predominance of characteristic holoepiphytes coincide with findings from floristic and ecological studies previously carried out in humid subtropical regions. Keywords: conservation status, epiphytic category, geographic distribution, hemiepiphytes, holoepiphytes, subtropical forests, Uruguay, vascular epiphytes The most recent estimation of vascular epiphytes in the Introduction world reports 27,614 species, distributed in 73 families and 913 genera. -
