Heuchera/X Heucherella/Tiarella
Heuchera/x Heucherella/Tiarella Mark Begick The family Saxifragaceae comprises chiefly north temperate plants and includes many alpine and arctic species of xerophytic habit. This makes them adaptable and able to survive under different conditions, which is the reason why saxifrages, in particular) are so often used for dry rockery plantings. The Saxifragaceae is a large family and includes many easily recognizable genera (e.g., Astilbe, Bergenia, Heuchera, Heucherella, Rogersia, Saxifraga, and Tiarella, just to name a few). Species and cultivars of Bergenia and Heuchera are tough and persistent, so make good border plants for cool climates. Heuchera – The Coral Bells The genus Heuchera is named after Johann Heinrich von Heucher, who was a German professor of medicine. Fifty to seventy species are native to North America but only H. sanguinea, coral bells, and hybrids have gained popularity in North American gardens. These plants are either evergreen or semi- evergreen. Most of the improved cultivars are hybrids between H. sanguinea, H. americana, and H. micrantha. Many of these hybridized plants are ornamentally chosen for their colorful foliage. A few do have ornamental flowers of white, pink, or red . Heucheras do best in rich, moist well-drained soils in partial shade. They are better adapted to cooler climates, and sometimes this can enhance leaf color, especially in fall. x Heucherella – The Foamy Bells Many examples of hybrids between species of a genus occur but there are a few between genera. x Heucherella (the x denotes an intergeneric cross but is not sounded) was produced in 1912 at Nancy in France between a Heuchera hybrid and Tiarella cordifolia. -

Crispin Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sept Oct Nov Dec Status: State special concern the Mississippi valley through Arkansas to Texas and in the western Great Plains from Montana south Global and state rank: G5/S3 through Wyoming and Colorado to New Mexico. It is considered rare in Arkansas and Wyoming and is known Other common names: lead-plant, downy indigobush only from historical records in Montana and Ontario (NatureServe 2006). Family: Fabaceae (pea family); also known as the Leguminosae. State distribution: Of Michigan’s more than 50 occurrences of this prairie species, the vast majority of Synonym: Amorpha brachycarpa E.J. Palmer sites are concentrated in southwest Lower Michigan, with Kalamazoo, St. Joseph, and Cass counties alone Taxonomy: The Fabaceae is divided into three well accounting for more than 40 of these records. Single known and distinct subfamilies, the Mimosoideae, outlying occurrences have been documented in the Caesalpinioideae, and Papilionoideae, which are last two decades from prairie remnants in Oakland and frequently recognized at the rank of family (the Livingston counties in southeast Michigan.

Phytochemical Composition of Essential Oils Isolated
Pharmacophore 2013, Vol. 4 (6), 181-211 USA CODEN: PHARM7 ISSN 2229-5402 Pharmacophore (An International Research Journal) Available online at http://www.pharmacophorejournal.com/ Review Article PHYTOCHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF ESSENTIAL OILS ISOLATED FROM DIFFERENT SPECIES OF GENUS NEPETA OF LABIATAE FAMILY: A REVIEW Ajay Sharma and Damanjit Singh Cannoo* Department of Chemistry, Sant Longowal Institute of Engineering and Technology, Longowal, Sangrur, Punjab-148106, India ABSTRACT Aromatic and medicinal plants have been regarded as foremost source of secondary metabolites (SMs). These SMs (less toxic and biodegradable) and their derivatives have been recognised as versatile source of biologically active drugs. The most of the drugs used in present medicinal system have direct or indirect relation with secondary metabolites. So, during last few decades the interest has increased in the study of phytochemical composition of aforementioned plants to evaluate their prospective in modern medicinal system. Amongst various plant families which have been known for their medicinal and therapeutic values, Labiatae (Mint) family (Genus Nepeta) remains quite important. Essential oils extracted from various parts of species of above said genus have been a vital source of terpenoid and oxygenated terpenoid hydrocarbons especially sesquiterpene hydrocarbons and their oxygenated derivatives. These compounds have been known for their inherent biological activities viz. sedative, diaphoretic, feberifuge, expectorant, diuretic, stomach tonic, antispasmodic, antipyretics, anti-viral, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, fungicidal, insecticidal, insect repellent and antidote against snakes and scorpion bites etc. The present communication constitutes a review on the chemical composition of essential oils (only key constituents) extracted from genus Nepeta along with the details of their specific area of collection, height, specific time in a year, stage of plant collection, method used for extraction and technique of analysis. -
Reproductive and Pollination Biology of the Critically Endangered Endemic Campanula Vardariana in Western Anatolia (Turkey)
Plant Ecology and Evolution 154 (1): 49–55, 2021 https://doi.org/10.5091/plecevo.2021.1676 RESEARCH ARTICLE Reproductive and pollination biology of the Critically Endangered endemic Campanula vardariana in Western Anatolia (Turkey) Ümit Subaşı* & Aykut Güvensen Ege University, Faculty of Science, Department of Botany, Bornova Izmir 35040, Turkey *Corresponding author: [email protected] Background and aims – Campanula vardariana (Campanulaceae) is a critically endangered endemic chasmophyte with a single population situated in the west of Turkey. Very little is known about the reproductive biology of C. vardariana and more information is needed to develop a sound conservation strategy for this endemic species. Material and methods – Floral traits such as flower morphology, nectar, and sugar concentration, as well as pollen viability and stigma receptivity were measured in different floral phases. We observed insect visitations to the flowers and identified pollinators. Additionally, we investigated the effect of cross and self-pollination on fruit and seed production. Key results – The flowers of C. vardariana are protandrous. The length of the styles, which were 8.74 mm during the pollen loading phase, reached 11.35 mm during the pollen presentation phase. The visitor observations made on the C. vardariana flowers revealed 11 visitor species from 5 families: 5 Halictidae, 3 Apidae, and one species each from Megachilidae, Colletidae, and Bombyliidae. Lasioglossum spp. touched the anthers and stigma using several parts of their bodies and were significant pollinators ofC. vardariana. Under natural conditions, the mean number of seeds per fruit was around 60 after cross pollination, while no fruits were formed when pollinators were excluded. -
Comparative Analysis of the Complete Chloroplast Genomes in Allium Subgenus Cyathophora (Amaryllidaceae): Phylogenetic Relationship and Adaptive Evolution
Hindawi BioMed Research International Volume 2020, Article ID 1732586, 17 pages https://doi.org/10.1155/2020/1732586 Research Article Comparative Analysis of the Complete Chloroplast Genomes in Allium Subgenus Cyathophora (Amaryllidaceae): Phylogenetic Relationship and Adaptive Evolution Xin Yang, Deng-Feng Xie, Jun-Pei Chen, Song-Dong Zhou, Yan Yu, and Xing-Jin He Key Laboratory of Bio-Resources and Eco-Environment of Ministry of Education, College of Life Sciences, Sichuan University, Chengdu, China Correspondence should be addressed to Xing-Jin He; [email protected] Received 13 August 2019; Accepted 7 December 2019; Published 17 January 2020 Academic Editor: Marcelo A. Soares Copyright © 2020 Xin Yang et al. -is is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Recent advances in molecular phylogenetics provide us with information of Allium L. taxonomy and evolution, such as the subgenus Cyathophora, which is monophyletic and contains five species. However, previous studies detected distinct incon- gruence between the nrDNA and cpDNA phylogenies, and the interspecies relationships of this subgenus need to be furtherly resolved. In our study, we newly assembled the whole chloroplast genome of four species in subgenus Cyathophora and two allied Allium species. -e complete cp genomes were found to possess a quadripartite structure, and the genome size ranged from 152,913 to 154,174 bp. Among these cp genomes, there were subtle differences in the gene order, gene content, and GC content. Seven hotspot regions (infA, rps16, rps15, ndhF, trnG-UCC, trnC-GCA, and trnK-UUU) with nucleotide diversity greater than 0.02 were discovered. -
