Bieb. grown at UASVM Iasi, Romania, were studied: E. himalaicus Baker, E. robustus Regel and E. stenophyllus (BOISS. & BUHSE) Bak. Some ornamental (morphologic and phenologic) features were analyzed and also the anatomic structure of the leaf, the content of photosynthetic pigments and the enzymatic activity of the leaves. The biometrical and phenological determinations indicate a good ecological adaptability of the plants, in accordance with similar reports. The anatomical differences between the three species are not very great, but the stomata in E. stenophillus and E. himalaicus are arranged at the same level as the epidermal surface while in E. robustus they are arranged a little lower, and the assimilating parenchyma layer is more developed in E. stenophillus and E. himalaicus than in E. robustus. At E. robustus and E. himalaicus a larger content of assimilatory pigments and a more reduced enzymatic activity were observed.

The species of Eremurus genus (Liliaceae family), by its distinctive ornamental characters and its ability to adapt to the most diverse ecological conditions, can represent valuable variants in the enrichment of floral assortment, for landscaping design or cut flowers. In this paper are presented the results of observations and determinations carried out for three species of Eremurus (E. himalaicus Baker, E. robustus Regel, E. stenophyllus (Boiss. & Buhse) Bak.) cultivated in Iasi (N-E Romania) during 2015-2016. The main objective of the paper is to highlight the morphological and decorative characters of these plants, so that their cultivation can be valid in unprotected conditions and the efficient way of uses. The results obtained support the promotion of these plants in culture, both in floral art and in landscaping design. Key words: Eremurus, morphological characters, ornamental value Rezumat. Speciile genului Eremurus (familia Liliaceae), prin caracterele ornamentale deosebite şi prin capacitatea bună de adaptare la cele mai diverse condiţii ecologice, pot reprezenta variante foarte valoroase în îmbogăţirea sortimentului de plante floricole pentru amenajarea grădinilor sau pentru flori tăiate. În lucrarea de faţă sunt prezentate rezultatele observaţiilor şi determinărilor efectuate în perioada 2015-2016 la trei specii de Eremurus (E. himalaicus Baker, E. robustus Regel, E. stenophyllus (Boiss. & Buhse) Bak.) cultivate la Iaşi (partea de N-E României). Obiectivul principal al lucrării este de a evidenţia caracterele morfo-decorative ale acestor plante, astfel încât să poată fi argumentată cultivarea lor în condiţii neprotejate şi modul eficient de valorificare.

  • Networks in a Large-Scale Phylogenetic Analysis: Reconstructing Evolutionary History of Asparagales (Lilianae) Based on Four Plastid Genes
    Networks in a Large-Scale Phylogenetic Analysis: Reconstructing Evolutionary History of Asparagales (Lilianae) Based on Four Plastid Genes Shichao Chen1., Dong-Kap Kim2., Mark W. Chase3, Joo-Hwan Kim4* 1 College of Life Science and Technology, Tongji University, Shanghai, China, 2 Division of Forest Resource Conservation, Korea National Arboretum, Pocheon, Gyeonggi- do, Korea, 3 Jodrell Laboratory, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Richmond, United Kingdom, 4 Department of Life Science, Gachon University, Seongnam, Gyeonggi-do, Korea Abstract Phylogenetic analysis aims to produce a bifurcating tree, which disregards conflicting signals and displays only those that are present in a large proportion of the data. However, any character (or tree) conflict in a dataset allows the exploration of support for various evolutionary hypotheses. Although data-display network approaches exist, biologists cannot easily and routinely use them to compute rooted phylogenetic networks on real datasets containing hundreds of taxa. Here, we constructed an original neighbour-net for a large dataset of Asparagales to highlight the aspects of the resulting network that will be important for interpreting phylogeny. The analyses were largely conducted with new data collected for the same loci as in previous studies, but from different species accessions and greater sampling in many cases than in published analyses. The network tree summarised the majority data pattern in the characters of plastid sequences before tree building, which largely confirmed the currently recognised phylogenetic relationships. Most conflicting signals are at the base of each group along the Asparagales backbone, which helps us to establish the expectancy and advance our understanding of some difficult taxa relationships and their phylogeny.

PHILADELPHIA, September, 1902. The attention of our customers is respectfully called to the following directions, which will, if followed, be an aid to purchasers as well as to ourselves : ORDER EARLY.—It will greatly facilitate shipments if orders are sent in early. We aim to send off all orders the same or next day after receipt, but during the busy season it is nearly impossible—hence the advisability of ordering early. TIME OF SHIPriENT.—The majority of Fall Bulbs are ready to ship by the second week in September ; a few sorts, which are noted in Catalogue, do not mature until October and November. Unless otherwise instructed, we will send the early Bulbs as soon as ready, and the late-maturing sorts when in good condition to ship. FORWARDING.—VVe deliver, postage paid, to any post-office in the United States, Bulbs, Vegetable and Flower Seeds in packets, ounces and pounds, at catalogue prices, except where otherwise noted ; but it will be much cheaper to the purchaser if goods are ordered to be sent by Express or Freight at their expense, when desired in any quan- tity. Agricultural Seeds, Implements and other bulky and heavy goods can only be sent by freight or express at purchaser's expense. PLANTS.—Small plants can be sent by mail if so desired, but we strongly advise our customers to have their plants sent by express at their expense, as larger and finer plants can be sent in this way, and "extras" are added to help defray charges, and we always ship in this way unless instructed to the contrary.

Again, we are coming to you with a new catalogue and again we are including many new varieties in it. Some of them are very special – never before offered, some are returned after very long interruption – they were so popular, that we oversold our stocks and it took a lot of years to rebuilt them. Some are more ordinary things – for those who only start growing of rare bulbs and have little experience. In some words – bulbs for every taste and possibilities, but most important, that all bulbs offered by us are grown and multiplied only in our nursery – we are not selling bulbs from nature. We have to say that the passed season was one of the warmest in my gardening experience, in addition it was the driest, too. There was no rain since end of June and even in October the soil in garden still was very dry. In our unheated tunnel (we use a tunnel to protect bulbs from excessive moisture) shoots of Crocus alatavicus and michelsonii came out of soil in first half of November. But in December temperatures during night fell dawn to minus190 C and there was almost no snow in garden. Fortunately all beds outside are covered with good layer of peat moss and we hope it is sufficient to protect bulbs from frost.

  • A New Family Placement for Australian Blue Squill, Chamaescilla: Xanthorrhoeaceae (Hemerocallidoideae), Not Asparagaceae
    Phytotaxa 275 (2): 097–111 ISSN 1179-3155 (print edition) http://www.mapress.com/j/pt/ PHYTOTAXA Copyright © 2016 Magnolia Press Article ISSN 1179-3163 (online edition) http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/phytotaxa.275.2.2 A new family placement for Australian blue squill, Chamaescilla: Xanthorrhoeaceae (Hemerocallidoideae), not Asparagaceae TODD G.B. McLAY* & MICHAEL J. BAYLY School of BioSciences, The University of Melbourne, Vic. 3010, Australia; e-mail: [email protected] *author for correspondence Abstract Chamaescilla is an endemic Australian genus, currently placed in the Asparagaceae, alongside other Australian endemic taxa in the tribe Lomandroideae. A recent molecular phylogeny indicated a relationship with another partly Australian family, the Xanthorrhoeaceae, but was not commented on by the authors. Here we added DNA sequence data for a single Chamaescilla specimen to an alignment representing all families in the Asparagales and performed parsimony and Bayesian phylogenetic analyses. Chamaescilla was strongly resolved as belonging to Xanthorrhoeaceae, subfamily Hemerocallidoideae, along- side two non-Australian members, Simethis and Hemerocallis in the hemerocallid clade. This position is corroborated by morphological characters, including pollen grain shape. We also produced an age-calibrated phylogeny and infer that the geographic distribution of the clade is the result of long distance dispersal between the Eocene and Miocene. Key words: Asphodelaceae, biogeography, phylogeny, taxonomy Introduction Chamaescilla Mueller ex Bentham (1878: 48; commonly known as blue squill, blue stars or mudrut, Fig. 1) is a genus including four species that are endemic to Australia, found in the southwest and southeast of the country (Keighery 2001). All species are small, perennial tuberous herbs with annual leaves and flowers.
