    Morphological Evolution and Systematics of Synthyris and Besseya (Veronicaceae): a Phylogenetic Analysis

    Systematic Botany (2004), 29(3): pp. 716±736 q Copyright 2004 by the American Society of Plant Taxonomists Morphological Evolution and Systematics of Synthyris and Besseya (Veronicaceae): A Phylogenetic Analysis LARRY HUFFORD2 and MICHELLE MCMAHON1 School of Biological Sciences, Washington State University, Pullman, Washington 99164-4236 1Present address: Section of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Division of Biological Sciences, University of California, Davis, California 95616 2Author for correspondence ([email protected]) Communicating Editor: Wendy B. Zomlefer ABSTRACT. Phylogenetic analyses are used to examine the morphological diversity and systematics of Synthyris and Besseya. The placement of Synthyris and Besseya in Veronicaceae is strongly supported in parsimony analyses of nuclear ribosomal ITS DNA sequences. Parsimony and maximum likelihood (ML) criteria provide consistent hypotheses of clades of Synthyris and Besseya based on the ITS data. The combination of morphological characters and ITS data resolve additional clades of Synthyris and Besseya. The results show that Synthyris is paraphyletic to Besseya. In the monophyletic Synthyris clade, Besseya forms part of a Northwest clade that also includes the alpine S. canbyi, S. dissecta,andS. lanuginosa and mesic forest S. cordata, S. reniformis, S. platycarpa,andS. schizantha. The Northwest clade is the sister of S. borealis. An Intermountain clade, comprising S. ranunculina, S. laciniata, S. pinnati®da,andS. missurica, is the sister to the rest of the Synthyris clade. Constraint topologies are used to test prior hypotheses of relationships and morphological similarities. Parametric bootstrapping is used to compare the likelihood values of the best trees obtained in searches under constraints to that of the best tree found without constraints.

    Dariali Hydropower Plant Project Expert Advice on Terrestrial Biodiversity Conservation, Land Take and Compensation Report Tbilisi 2013 INTRODUCTION Botanical and Zoological surveys have been carried in order to address the key data gap existing in ESIA of Dariali HPP Project from the Biodiversity standpoint that is provided in the “Expert Advice on Terrestrial Biodiversity Conservation, Land Take and Compensation Report” that includes two Annexes: I. Survey and comparative analysis of flora and vegetation of Dariali Hydropower Plant Project Corridor and compensation sites (carried out by Botanists: Dr Mariam Kimeridze and Mr David Chelidze) and II. Survey and comparative analysis of fauna of Dariali Hydropower Plant Project Corridor and compensation sites (carried out by Zoologists: Dr Alexander Bukhnikashvili, Dr Teimuraz Kokosadze and Mrs Marine Gioshvili). Three small areas of land were removed from the Kazbegi National Park for the Dariali HPP construction totaling 8,737 ha that belonged to the area within the Boundaries of Traditional Use Zone of the KNP. Three territories have been added to the Protected Areas as compensation areas for the land lost at Dariali due to HPP: Nature Monument of Sakhiznari Cliff Columns-335,7ha, Nature Monument of the Abano Mineral Lake-0,04 ha and Nature Monument of the Truso Travertines-4,2 ha. For additional information with regard to impact of Dariali HPP construction on KNP please see the report prepared by Dr Mariam Kimeridze “Impact of Dariali HPP on Kazbegi National Oark Traditional USE Zone” dated 31.05.2013). The detailed botanical and zoological studies were carried out in the river Tergi gorge within the borders of the Project Corridor and Compensation Sites.

I don’t use too many plants, preferring instead to repeat a limited number in different combinations so they offer harmony and variety throughout the year. All of this starts in my own garden, which contains many of the plants I’ve chosen here. Some are new species I’m trialling, others are plants I’ve grown for years – all are ones I love.
