    COLEUS 'FAIRWAY RUBY' Solenostemon scutellarioides 'Fairway Ruby' Characteristics Zone: 10 to 11 Soil: Moist, well-drained Height: 10 to 15 Inches Water: Medium Width: 12 Inches Maintenance: Low Bloom Time: Flowers not showy Flower: Insignificant Bloom Description: Blue to white Leaf: Colorful Sun: Part sun Tolerate: Shade Culture Winter hardy to USDA Zones 10-11. In other zones, grow as garden annuals or in pots that can be overwintered indoors or as houseplants. Outdoors, grow in moist, organically rich, loose soils in part shade. Soils must not be allowed to dry out. ‘Fairway Ruby’ coleus produces foliage with bright red center and wide off-white margin with green edging. Produces tiny blue or white flowers, 1/2" long anytime throughout year. Pinch out to maintain plant health, foliage color, and attractive, compact plants. Does not tolerate water logging. Water moderately when in growth and apply a balanced liquid fertilizer at alternate waterings. When in growth, apply a high nitrogen fertilizer every 2 weeks. Keep just moist. Plants grown in too much shade may become leggy. Noteworthy Characteristics Plectranthus scutellarioides, commonly known as coleus, is a tropical evergreen tender perennial that has been a popular foliage plant since at least Victorian times. It is native to Southeast Asia and Malaysia. It has been assiduously hybridized over the years into a very large number of vegetatively propagated and seed propagated strains with an almost infinite number of leaf color combinations including most colors of the spectrum except true blue. Cultivars range in size from dwarf 6” tall plants to large mounded 36” tall plants.

    An Account of Orobanche L. in Britain and Ireland

    Watsonia, 18, 257-295 (1991) 257 An accountof OrobancheL. in Britain and Ireland J. RUMSEY and S. L. JURY Departmentof Botany, Universityof Reading,P.O. Box 221,Reading, Berkshire, RG6 2AS ABSTRACT Morphological descriptions are given of the 14 speciesof Orobanche (Orobanchaceae) recorded in the British Isles, together with separate keys for identifying fresh material and herbarium specimens. Accounts of the history of the speciesare presented together with illustrations and distribution maps. The variation in Orobanche minor is accounted for with the recognition of four varieties. INTRODUcnON ..,,; . The genus Orobanche is renowned as a taxonomically very difficult one. In most casesthis is a result of many of the useful charactersbecoming lost on drying, and the lack of adequate field notes. Plants which are very distinct in the field become reduced to a hideous brown uniformity when pressed. Therefore, herbarium specimens are often incorrectly determined (an average of 5-10% in fact). The loss of characters on drying, considerable intra-specific variation, confusing synonymies, incorrectly cited names and badly described specieswith poor types (often with different specieson the same sheet) have done little to generate interest in the genus. Too many botanists have shown a reluctance to deal with this genusin herbaria, perpetuating the myth that the speciesare impossible to identify once dried. Certainly, Orobanche minor Sm. and its close relatives often cannot be positively determined without descriptive notes made at the time of gathering, but all other species from the British Isles are distinct enough not to need any additional information. It is hoped that this account will stimulate other botanists to study, identify and record members of this fascinating parasitic genus in Britain and Ireland, as well as clear up some errors and confusions made in the past.

The most economically damaging on temperate legumes are the broomrapes, 10 particularly Orobanche crenata. But also other broomrape species such as O. foetida, O. minor and Phelipanche aegyptiaca can be of local importance. Other parasitic weeds such as Striga gesnerioides and Alectra vogelii cause considerable yield reduction of legume crops throughout semi-arid areas of sub-Saharan Africa. Dodders, particularly Cuscuta campestris can be damaging in some crops. 15 Preventing the movement of parasitic weed seeds into un-infested areas is a crucial component of control. Once a field is infested with parasitic weeds, controlling its seed production is very difficult. The only effective way to cope with parasitic weeds is through an integrated approach. Seedbank demise can be achieved by fumigation or solarization, however, this is not economically feasible in low-value and low input legume crops. A 20 number of cultural practices, from delayed sowing, hand weeding, no-tillage, nitrogen fertilization, intercropping or rotations can contribute to seed bank demise.

Rausch.) are aromatic plants with considerable economic value. These plants and their essential oils are used in medicine, cosmetics, and the food industry. One of the main limiting factors in peppermint and chamomile commercial cultivation is weed competition since weeds are able to decrease both oil amount and biomass yield. The purpose of the present study was to determine the effect of parasitism by field dodder (Cuscuta campestris Yunck.) on peppermint and chamomile dry weight and their essential oil yield and composition. Essential oils from both noninfested and infested peppermint and chamomile plants were obtained by hydrodistillation and characterized chemically by gas chromatography (GC) coupled with mass spectrometry (MS). The amount of dry matter accumulated by peppermint and chamomile plants infested by field dodder was lower (25% and 63%, respectively) compared to noninfested plants.

Interspecific variation was determined among five maJor broomrape species in Israel: 0. aegyptiaca, 0. mute/ii, 0. cernua, 0. cumana and 0. crenata. The pattern of interspecific variability and genetic distances observed in this study was in agreement with previous taxonomical characterization based on morphological differences among the species. Intraspecific variation was determined for 0. aegyptiaca and 0. crenata. Whereas 99 per cent of the amplified fragments were polymorphic among the species, only 23 per cent and 21 per cent, respectively, of the amplified fragments were polymorphic within 0. aegyptiaca and 0. crenata. For both species, each individual plant had a unique genotype based on a combined pattern of all the markers. No evidence was obtained for host differentiation for 0. aegyptiaca and 0. crenata and for regional differentiation for 0. crenata.

It is also, that infects roots of dicotyledonous plants. This however, a common introduced weed in other parasite causes severe damage to crop plants of regions such as eastern Europe, south-west Asia and many families (summarized by Parker, 1994).

Plants exhibiting the water-conserving crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) photosynthetic pathway provide some of the most intriguing examples of photosynthetic diversity and plasticity. Here, a largely unnoticed facet of CAM-plant photosynthesis is highlighted: the co-occurrence of ontogenetically controlled constitutive and environmentally controlled facultative CAM in a species. Both forms of CAM are displayed in leaves of Coleus amboinicus Lour. (Lamiaceae), a semi-succulent perennial plant with oregano-like flavour that is native to southern and eastern Africa and naturalised elsewhere in the tropics. Under well-watered conditions, leaves assimilate CO2 predominantly by the C3 pathway. They also display low levels of CO2 uptake at night accompanied by small nocturnal increases in leaf tissue acidity. This indicates the presence of weakly expressed constitutive CAM. CAM expression is strongly enhanced in response to drought stress. The drought-enhanced component of CAM is reversible upon rewatering and thus considered to be facultative. In contrast to C. amboinicus, the thin-leaved closely related Coleus scutellarioides (L.) Benth. exhibits net CO2 fixation solely in the light via the C3 pathway, both under well- watered and drought conditions.

    Lamiales – Synoptical Classification Vers

    Lamiales – Synoptical classification vers. 2.6.2 (in prog.) Updated: 12 April, 2016 A Synoptical Classification of the Lamiales Version 2.6.2 (This is a working document) Compiled by Richard Olmstead With the help of: D. Albach, P. Beardsley, D. Bedigian, B. Bremer, P. Cantino, J. Chau, J. L. Clark, B. Drew, P. Garnock- Jones, S. Grose (Heydler), R. Harley, H.-D. Ihlenfeldt, B. Li, L. Lohmann, S. Mathews, L. McDade, K. Müller, E. Norman, N. O’Leary, B. Oxelman, J. Reveal, R. Scotland, J. Smith, D. Tank, E. Tripp, S. Wagstaff, E. Wallander, A. Weber, A. Wolfe, A. Wortley, N. Young, M. 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.
