Before inclusion names have been reviewed using: The Plant List http://www.theplantlist.org and PteridoWiki http://www.fernforum.net . On the first occasion where a new name is used for a taxa, we are including the old name alongside for information. Cultivars may not come true and should be labelled accordingly. Plant Hardiness Zones. The list includes, where possible, plant hardiness zone numbers for North America and Europe. These are mainly collated from ‘The Encylopedia of Garden Ferns’ by Sue Olsen, Timber Press, 2007, ISBN 978-0-88192-8198 and ‘The Plantfinders Guide to Garden Ferns’ by M H Rickard, David and Charles/Timber Press, ISBN 0 71,53 1,536-6, by kind permission of the authors. Members in the USA requesting spores require a 'Small Lots of Seeds' permit from their government. See: http://www.aphis.usda.gov/permits/ppq_epermits.shtml or by mail at:- USDA- APHIS-PPQ, Permit Unit, 4700 River Road, Unit 133, Riverdale, MD 20737-1236 TEL: 1-877-770-5990; FAX: (301) 734-5786 When you send your order form, we need a photocopy of the permit, the conditions attached to it, a green and yellow customs label for that permit, and stamps or mailing account number, for the customs to send on the spores to you. About Donations. We accept spores on the basis that they have been legally acquired and that they can be freely distributed through our exchange with no restrictions as to their use. Donations of fresh spores to replenish stocks are welcome at any time, ideally sent to us as soon after harvesting as possible. To be sure of inclusion in the 2015 list, they should be sent before the end of November. Donors will get priority treatment and can request up to 10 extra packets. Osmunda Spores. Owing to the short period of the viability of green spores these are not included in this list. For many years Matt Busby has organised a separate distribution of such spores but, from this year, we will be taking over this role. This means developing a rapid route between members who have ripe spores and those who would like to receive them. At this stage we simply want you to tell us which Osmunda spores you would be interested in obtaining and/or any you may be able to donate, using the boxes below. Obviously, noting that you may have ripe spores available later in the season does not commit you to providing them! When we know what spores are requested we will contact any potential donors to let them know of the interest. When ripe, spores can then be sent to us for distribution. I hope to be able to donate the following short If available, I would like to obtain spores the viability spores. following taxa which have short viability spores 2 Spore Exchange List - 2014 Acknowledgements Spore donation is at the heart of the exchange and we are extremely grateful for the contributions of this year’s donors: P.

He, a new fern species of Polystichum sect. Haplopolystichum (Dryopteridaceae), is described and illustrated from the entrance to a karst cave in southern Guizhou, China. A phylogenetic analysis based on the chlo- roplast trnL-F sequences shows that it is phylogenetically isolated in the section with no close relatives. Morphologically, it is similar to P. minutissimum, but P. perpusillum has an acute lamina apex, up to 12 pairs of pinnae per lamina, and deltoid-ovate or ovate-lanceolate rachis scales, while P. minutissimum has a round lamina apex, 5–8 pairs of pinnae per lamina, and subulate or linear rachis scales. Polystichum perpusil- lum has a granulate sculpture with verrucae on its perispore, a sculpture rare in the genus. The species is considered to be critically endangered.

    Species Relationships and Farina Evolution in the Cheilanthoid Fern

    Systematic Botany (2011), 36(3): pp. 554–564 © Copyright 2011 by the American Society of Plant Taxonomists DOI 10.1600/036364411X583547 Species Relationships and Farina Evolution in the Cheilanthoid Fern Genus Argyrochosma (Pteridaceae) Erin M. Sigel , 1 , 3 Michael D. Windham , 1 Layne Huiet , 1 George Yatskievych , 2 and Kathleen M. Pryer 1 1 Department of Biology, Duke University, Durham, North Carolina 27708 U. S. A. 2 Missouri Botanical Garden, P.O. Box 299, St. Louis, Missouri 63166 U. S. A. 3 Author for correspondence ( [email protected] ) Communicating Editor: Lynn Bohs Abstract— Convergent evolution driven by adaptation to arid habitats has made it difficult to identify monophyletic taxa in the cheilanthoid ferns. Dependence on distinctive, but potentially homoplastic characters, to define major clades has resulted in a taxonomic conundrum: all of the largest cheilanthoid genera have been shown to be polyphyletic. Here we reconstruct the first comprehensive phylogeny of the strictly New World cheilanthoid genus Argyrochosma . We use our reconstruction to examine the evolution of farina (powdery leaf deposits), which has played a prominent role in the circumscription of cheilanthoid genera. Our data indicate that Argyrochosma comprises two major monophyletic groups: one exclusively non-farinose and the other primarily farinose. Within the latter group, there has been at least one evolutionary reversal (loss) of farina and the development of major chemical variants that characterize specific clades. Our phylogenetic hypothesis, in combination with spore data and chromosome counts, also provides a critical context for addressing the prevalence of polyploidy and apomixis within the genus. Evidence from these datasets provides testable hypotheses regarding reticulate evolution and suggests the presence of several previ- ously undetected taxa of Argyrochosma.

    1 Medicinal Plants of the Argentinean Puna

    1 MEDICINAL PLANTS OF THE ARGENTINEAN PUNA: A COMMON PROPERTY RESOURCE AND AN OPPORTUNITY FOR LOCAL PEOPLE F.R. Barbarán1 Abstract Considering that poverty increased in Argentina due to local currency devaluation (400 %) in 2002, the objective of the project Cultivating the Health is to create certified phyto- medicines to give them for free to the rural poor. In order to contribute to that objective, I collected and identified the medicinal plants of the Argentinean Puna. The study area is placed in NW Argentina in Salta (Los Andes Department: 25636 Km2) and Jujuy Provinces (Susques Department: 9200 Km2), placed between 3500 and 5000 meters above sea level (m.a.s.l.), near the border with Bolivia and Chile. With the help of 3 medicine women and 18 local guides, 42 species of plants used as medicine by local people, were identified: 1 Pteridaceae, 1 Amaranthaceae, 1 Anacardiaceae, 2 Apiaceae, 13 Asteraceae, 2 Cactaceae, 2 Chenopodiaceae, 1 Ephedraceae, 2 Fabaceae, 1 Krameriaceae, 3 Lamiaceae, 2 Malvaceae, 1 Plantaginaceae, 3 Poaceae, 1 Rosaceae, 2 Solanaceae, 1 Tiphaceae and 4 Verbenaceae. According to their medicinal properties, 10 of those species are offered to tourists, despite one of them Werneria poposa (Asteraceae) is endangered. The traditional knowledge about the use of those plants is being eroded and lost, because now a day is easier for the dwellers to obtain medical attention in primary health care systems. On the other hand, the phytochemical and pharmacological properties of most of those species are little known. There is pharmaceutical information available for only 36 % of the species identified.

    Phytochrome Diversity in Green Plants and the Origin of Canonical Plant Phytochromes

    ARTICLE Received 25 Feb 2015 | Accepted 19 Jun 2015 | Published 28 Jul 2015 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms8852 OPEN Phytochrome diversity in green plants and the origin of canonical plant phytochromes Fay-Wei Li1, Michael Melkonian2, Carl J. Rothfels3, Juan Carlos Villarreal4, Dennis W. Stevenson5, Sean W. Graham6, Gane Ka-Shu Wong7,8,9, Kathleen M. Pryer1 & Sarah Mathews10,w Phytochromes are red/far-red photoreceptors that play essential roles in diverse plant morphogenetic and physiological responses to light. Despite their functional significance, phytochrome diversity and evolution across photosynthetic eukaryotes remain poorly understood. Using newly available transcriptomic and genomic data we show that canonical plant phytochromes originated in a common ancestor of streptophytes (charophyte algae and land plants). Phytochromes in charophyte algae are structurally diverse, including canonical and non-canonical forms, whereas in land plants, phytochrome structure is highly conserved. Liverworts, hornworts and Selaginella apparently possess a single phytochrome, whereas independent gene duplications occurred within mosses, lycopods, ferns and seed plants, leading to diverse phytochrome families in these clades. Surprisingly, the phytochrome portions of algal and land plant neochromes, a chimera of phytochrome and phototropin, appear to share a common origin. Our results reveal novel phytochrome clades and establish the basis for understanding phytochrome functional evolution in land plants and their algal relatives. 1 Department of Biology, Duke University, Durham, North Carolina 27708, USA. 2 Botany Department, Cologne Biocenter, University of Cologne, 50674 Cologne, Germany. 3 University Herbarium and Department of Integrative Biology, University of California, Berkeley, California 94720, USA. 4 Royal Botanic Gardens Edinburgh, Edinburgh EH3 5LR, UK. 5 New York Botanical Garden, Bronx, New York 10458, USA.

    Organisms Diversity & Evolution (2018) 18:175–186 https://doi.org/10.1007/s13127-018-0366-6 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Further progress towards the delimitation of Cheilanthes (Cheilanthoideae, Pteridaceae), with emphasis on South American species M. Mónica Ponce1 & M. Amalia Scataglini1 Received: 20 July 2017 /Accepted: 22 April 2018 /Published online: 5 May 2018 # Gesellschaft für Biologische Systematik 2018 Abstract Cheilanthoid ferns (Cheilanthoideae sensu PPG 1 2016) constitute an important group within the Pteridaceae and are cosmopolitan in distribution. In South America, there are 155 species distributed in 13 genera, among which the largest are Adiantopsis (35), Cheilanthes (27), and Doryopteris (22). Most of the cheilanthoid species are morphologically adapted to grow in arid to semi-arid conditions and show convergent evolution, which has implied difficulties in defining the genera throughout their taxonomic history (Copeland 1947,Tryon&Tryon1973,Gastony&Rollo 1995, 1998,KirkpatrickSystematic Botany, 32:504–518, 2007, Rothfels et al. Taxon, 57: 712–724, 2008). Here, we sequenced two plastid markers (rbcL + trnL-F) of 33 South American cheilanthoid species, most of which have not been included in phylogenetic analyses previously. The South American species were analyzed together with South African and Australasian Cheilanthes and representatives of related cheilanthoid genera. The phylogenetic analysis showed that most Cheilanthes species are related to the genus Hemionitis, constituting different groups according to their distribu- tion; moreover, three species—C. hassleri, C. pantanalensis,andC. obducta—appear as the sister clade of Hemionitis. Cheilanthes micropteris, the type species, is strongly supported in a clade with Australasian Cheilanthes plus five South American Cheilanthes species, all of which show a reduction in the number of spores per sporangium; this feature would be a synapomorphy for core Cheilanthes s.s.
