SIGNA: Species Iris Group of North America 1998 32Th Species Seed Exchange SIGNA: Species Iris Group of North America 1998 32th Species Seed Exchange Greetings: Orders will be filled in the order received. Return immediately for the best selection. Our first shipment of seeds will begin January 10. Orders received after that date will be filled as time permits. No orders will be filled if received after March 1, 1999. After each item in the seed list you will find a number estimating the total number of seeds available. Donations with fewer than 100 seeds will most likely be sold out early. Be sure to check substitutes when ordering any of these seeds. They will D.Q! be used as substitutes. Seeds in short supply may be packed with as few as 4 seeds. If you want items with more seeds per packet, order items in greater supply. Please note the following abreviations used in the seedlist: H P means Hand Pollinated, coli. means Wild Collected, and ex. indicates that the plants that seeds were collected from were originally from another source (which may be a person, another seed exchange, or a wild location) which immediately follows the abbreviation. The alphabetical groups (A, B, C, etc.) used in the seed list follow the outline provided in the SIGNA Species Iris Study Manual published in 1972, e.g. sub-section Pogoniris, series Pumilae is under A, sub-section Pogoniris, series Intermedeae in under B and so on. The Study Manual, The Iris by Brian Mathew, and Iris of China by James Waddick and Zhao Yu-tang (l"e used as references when verifying names.

  • Using Beautiful Flowering Bulbous (Geophytes) Plants in the Cemetery Gardens in the City of Tokat
    J. Int. Environmental Application & Science, Vol. 11(2): 216-222 (2016) Using Beautiful Flowering Bulbous (Geophytes) Plants in the Cemetery Gardens in the City of Tokat Kübra Yazici∗, Hasan Köse2, Bahriye Gülgün3 1Gaziosmanpaşa University Faculty of Agriculture, Department of Horticulture, 60100, Taşlıçiftlik, Tokat, Turkey; 2 Celal Bayar University Alaşehir Vocational School Alaşehir; Manisa; 3Ege University Faculty of Agriculture, Department of Horticulture, 35100 Bornova, Izmir, TURKEY, Received March 25, 2016; Accepted June 12, 2016 Abstract: The importance of public green areas in urban environment, which is a sign of living standards and civilization, increase steadily. Because of the green areas they exhibit and their spiritual atmosphere, graveyards have importance. With increasing urbanization come the important duties of municipalities to arrange and maintain cemeteries. In recent years, organizations independent from municipalities have become interested in cemetery paysage. This situation has made cemetery paysage an important sector. The bulbous plants have a distinctive role in terms of cemetery paysage because of their nice odours, decorative flowers and the ease of maintenance. The field under study is the city of Tokat which is an old city in Turkey. This study has been carried out in various cemeteries in Tokat, namely, the Cemetery of Şeyhi-Şirvani, the Cemetery of Erenler, the Cemetery of Geyras, the Cemetery of Ali, and the Armenian Cemetery. Field observation have been carried out in terms of the leafing and flowering times of bulbous plants. At the end of the study, in designated regions in the before-mentioned cemeteries bulbous plants that naturally grow in these regions have been evaluated. In the urban cemeteries, these flowers are used the most: tulip, irises, hyacinth, daffodil and day lily (in decreasing order of use).

  • Flowering of Watsonia Laccata As Influenced by Corm Storage and Forcing Temperatures ⁎ J.K
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com South African Journal of Botany 77 (2011) 631–637 www.elsevier.com/locate/sajb Flowering of Watsonia laccata as influenced by corm storage and forcing temperatures ⁎ J.K. Suh a, , J.H. Kim a, A.K. Lee a, M.S. Roh b a Dankook University, College of Bio-Resources Science, Department of Environmental Horticulture, Cheonan, Chungnam 330-714, Republic of Korea b US Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service, National Arboretum, Floral and Nursery Plants Research Unit, Beltsville MD 20705, USA Received 24 March 2010; received in revised form 28 November 2010; accepted 22 December 2010 Abstract The genus Watsonia, belonging to the family Iridaceae, is comprised of about 50 species including W. laccata (Jacquin) Ker Gawler that flowers from September to November following low temperature and winter rainfall. Therefore, we hypothesized that flowering would be favored by forcing at low greenhouse temperatures. Using clonal W. laccata corms, four experiments were designed to investigate the effect of temperatures during corm storage, forcing, and their interaction on growth and flowering. Corm formation is favored by growing plants at 18°– 20°/15°–17 °C and 21°–23°/18°–20 °C, day/night temperatures. Flowering was earliest with corms produced at 24°–26°/18°–20 °C and forced at 18°–20/15°–17 °C, and was significantly delayed when forced at 27°–29°/24°–26 °C. Flowering was, however, favored by 2 or 4 weeks of high temperatures (27°–29°/24°–26 °C) prior to forcing at low temperatures (18°–20°/15°–17 °C). The number of florets was not significantly affected by corm storage, forcing temperatures, or their interaction, although forcing at high temperatures tends to reduce the floret number.

  • Outline of Angiosperm Phylogeny
    Outline of angiosperm phylogeny: orders, families, and representative genera with emphasis on Oregon native plants Priscilla Spears December 2013 The following listing gives an introduction to the phylogenetic classification of the flowering plants that has emerged in recent decades, and which is based on nucleic acid sequences as well as morphological and developmental data. This listing emphasizes temperate families of the Northern Hemisphere and is meant as an overview with examples of Oregon native plants. It includes many exotic genera that are grown in Oregon as ornamentals plus other plants of interest worldwide. The genera that are Oregon natives are printed in a blue font. Genera that are exotics are shown in black, however genera in blue may also contain non-native species. Names separated by a slash are alternatives or else the nomenclature is in flux. When several genera have the same common name, the names are separated by commas. The order of the family names is from the linear listing of families in the APG III report. For further information, see the references on the last page. Basal Angiosperms (ANITA grade) Amborellales Amborellaceae, sole family, the earliest branch of flowering plants, a shrub native to New Caledonia – Amborella Nymphaeales Hydatellaceae – aquatics from Australasia, previously classified as a grass Cabombaceae (water shield – Brasenia, fanwort – Cabomba) Nymphaeaceae (water lilies – Nymphaea; pond lilies – Nuphar) Austrobaileyales Schisandraceae (wild sarsaparilla, star vine – Schisandra; Japanese

Reid Department of Environmental Horticulture, University of California, Davis, CA 95616 Additional index words. corms, apical meristem size, carbohydrate, respiration rate, brodiaea Abstract. Exposure of dormant corms of Triteleia laxa ‘Queen Fabiola’ to 20 ppm C2H4 for 7 days promoted flowering of small corms and resulted in increased apical meristem size, early sprouting, early flowering, more flowers per Inflorescence, and increased fresh weight of daughter corms and cormels. The respiration rate of the C&treated corms increased to four to five times that of the controls during the 7-day treatment, declined markedly after termination of the C2H4 treatment, but remained higher than that of the controls. The C2H4 effects were associated with increased growth rate and consequently a greater final size of the apical meristem (determined by scanning electron microscopy). Leaves produced by C2H4-treated corms were wider, longer, and weighed more than those of the controls. Ethylene is a plant hormone that has diverse effects on a wide in a greenhouse under natural daylengths. The inflorescences range of plant tissues (Reid, 1987).

  • Checklist of the Vascular Alien Flora of Catalonia (Northeastern Iberian Peninsula, Spain) Pere Aymerich1 & Llorenç Sáez2,3
    BOTANICAL CHECKLISTS Mediterranean Botany ISSNe 2603-9109 https://dx.doi.org/10.5209/mbot.63608 Checklist of the vascular alien flora of Catalonia (northeastern Iberian Peninsula, Spain) Pere Aymerich1 & Llorenç Sáez2,3 Received: 7 March 2019 / Accepted: 28 June 2019 / Published online: 7 November 2019 Abstract. This is an inventory of the vascular alien flora of Catalonia (northeastern Iberian Peninsula, Spain) updated to 2018, representing 1068 alien taxa in total. 554 (52.0%) out of them are casual and 514 (48.0%) are established. 87 taxa (8.1% of the total number and 16.8 % of those established) show an invasive behaviour. The geographic zone with more alien plants is the most anthropogenic maritime area. However, the differences among regions decrease when the degree of naturalization of taxa increases and the number of invaders is very similar in all sectors. Only 26.2% of the taxa are more or less abundant, while the rest are rare or they have vanished. The alien flora is represented by 115 families, 87 out of them include naturalised species. The most diverse genera are Opuntia (20 taxa), Amaranthus (18 taxa) and Solanum (15 taxa). Most of the alien plants have been introduced since the beginning of the twentieth century (70.7%), with a strong increase since 1970 (50.3% of the total number). Almost two thirds of alien taxa have their origin in Euro-Mediterranean area and America, while 24.6% come from other geographical areas. The taxa originated in cultivation represent 9.5%, whereas spontaneous hybrids only 1.2%. From the temporal point of view, the rate of Euro-Mediterranean taxa shows a progressive reduction parallel to an increase of those of other origins, which have reached 73.2% of introductions during the last 50 years.

  • THE INFLUENCE of SELECTED GROWTH REGULATORS on DEVELOPMENT, DECORATIVE VALUE and YIELD of CORMS of EASY POT FREESIA (Freesia Eckl
    Acta Sci. Pol., Hortorum Cultus 12(1) 2013, 55-64 THE INFLUENCE OF SELECTED GROWTH REGULATORS ON DEVELOPMENT, DECORATIVE VALUE AND YIELD OF CORMS OF EASY POT FREESIA (Freesia Eckl. ex Klatt). PART I. GIBBERELLIN A3 Piotr ĩurawik, Monika Placek West Pomeranian University of Technology in Szczecin Abstract. Freesias of Easy Pot group are very interesting complement to an assortment of flowering potted plants. However , there is a lack of information about their requirements and cultivation methods. Experiments were carried out in the years 2006–2007 in the un- heated plastic tunnel. Cormlets of three cultivars: ‘Gompey’, ‘Popey’ and ‘Suzy’ were the plant material. Corms were soaked in solution of gibberellic acid in concentration of 10, 20, 40, 80 or 160 mg dm-3 for 24 hours just before planting, in a dark room with air tem- perature 28–30oC. Corms soaked in water were served as the control. During the vegeta- tion season measurements of vegetative and generative traits of plants were conducted. After the end of vegetation period, coefficients of corm weight and number increase were calculated. It was found that cormlets of Easy Pot Freesia can be recommended for culti- vation in pots. Cultivar had a significant effect on vegetative and generative parameters of plants. Among evaluated cultivars ‘Gompey’ was characterized by the greatest decorative value. Plants of this cultivar had the longest inflorescence shoots with the greatest number of lateral shoots and the greatest number of flowers. Irrespective of cultivar, gibberellic acid increased plant height, total number of leaves, length of inflorescence shoots and de- creased flower diameter.

SUMMARY Developmental constraints have been proposed different characteristics of microsporogenesis, only cell to interfere with natural selection in limiting the available wall formation appeared as constrained. We show that set of potential adaptations. Whereas this concept has constraints may also result from biases in the correlated long been debated on theoretical grounds, it has been occurrence of developmental steps (e.g., lack of successive investigated empirically only in a few studies. In this article, cytokinesis when wall formation is centripetal). We document we evaluate the importance of developmental constraints such biases and their potential outcomes, notably the during microsporogenesis (male meiosis in plants), with an establishment of intermediate stages, which allow emphasis on phylogenetic patterns in Asparagales. Different development to bypass such constraints. These insights are developmental constraints were tested by character discussed with regard to potential selection on pollen reshuffling or by simulated distributions. Among the morphology. INTRODUCTION 1991) also hindered tests using the concept (Pigliucci and Kaplan 2000).
