  • Guide to the Flora of the Carolinas, Virginia, and Georgia, Working Draft of 17 March 2004 -- LILIACEAE
    Guide to the Flora of the Carolinas, Virginia, and Georgia, Working Draft of 17 March 2004 -- LILIACEAE LILIACEAE de Jussieu 1789 (Lily Family) (also see AGAVACEAE, ALLIACEAE, ALSTROEMERIACEAE, AMARYLLIDACEAE, ASPARAGACEAE, COLCHICACEAE, HEMEROCALLIDACEAE, HOSTACEAE, HYACINTHACEAE, HYPOXIDACEAE, MELANTHIACEAE, NARTHECIACEAE, RUSCACEAE, SMILACACEAE, THEMIDACEAE, TOFIELDIACEAE) As here interpreted narrowly, the Liliaceae constitutes about 11 genera and 550 species, of the Northern Hemisphere. There has been much recent investigation and re-interpretation of evidence regarding the upper-level taxonomy of the Liliales, with strong suggestions that the broad Liliaceae recognized by Cronquist (1981) is artificial and polyphyletic. Cronquist (1993) himself concurs, at least to a degree: "we still await a comprehensive reorganization of the lilies into several families more comparable to other recognized families of angiosperms." Dahlgren & Clifford (1982) and Dahlgren, Clifford, & Yeo (1985) synthesized an early phase in the modern revolution of monocot taxonomy. Since then, additional research, especially molecular (Duvall et al. 1993, Chase et al. 1993, Bogler & Simpson 1995, and many others), has strongly validated the general lines (and many details) of Dahlgren's arrangement. The most recent synthesis (Kubitzki 1998a) is followed as the basis for familial and generic taxonomy of the lilies and their relatives (see summary below). References: Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (1998, 2003); Tamura in Kubitzki (1998a). Our “liliaceous” genera (members of orders placed in the Lilianae) are therefore divided as shown below, largely following Kubitzki (1998a) and some more recent molecular analyses. ALISMATALES TOFIELDIACEAE: Pleea, Tofieldia. LILIALES ALSTROEMERIACEAE: Alstroemeria COLCHICACEAE: Colchicum, Uvularia. LILIACEAE: Clintonia, Erythronium, Lilium, Medeola, Prosartes, Streptopus, Tricyrtis, Tulipa. MELANTHIACEAE: Amianthium, Anticlea, Chamaelirium, Helonias, Melanthium, Schoenocaulon, Stenanthium, Veratrum, Toxicoscordion, Trillium, Xerophyllum, Zigadenus.

  • Fall 2013 NARGS
    Rock Garden uar terly � Fall 2013 NARGS to ADVERtISE IN thE QuARtERly CoNtACt [email protected] Let me know what yo think A recent issue of a chapter newsletter had an item entitled “News from NARGS”. There were comments on various issues related to the new NARGS website, not all complimentary, and then it turned to the Quarterly online and raised some points about which I would be very pleased to have your views. “The good news is that all the Quarterlies are online and can easily be dowloaded. The older issues are easy to read except for some rather pale type but this may be the result of scanning. There is amazing information in these older issues. The last three years of the Quarterly are also online but you must be a member to read them. These last issues are on Allen Press’s BrightCopy and I find them harder to read than a pdf file. Also the last issue of the Quarterly has 60 extra pages only available online. Personally I find this objectionable as I prefer all my content in a printed bulletin.” This raises two points: Readability of BrightCopy issues versus PDF issues Do you find the BrightCopy issues as good as the PDF issues? Inclusion of extra material in online editions only. Do you object to having extra material in the online edition which can not be included in the printed edition? Please take a moment to email me with your views Malcolm McGregor <[email protected]> CONTRIBUTORS All illustrations are by the authors of articles unless otherwise stated.

  • SRGC BULB LOG DIARY---Pictures and Text © Ian Young
    SRGC ----- Bulb Log Diary ----- Pictures and text © Ian Young th BULB LOG 16.........................16 April 2014 Erythronium ‘Craigton Cover Girl’ Do I need an excuse to show you more Erythroniums? They are approaching the peak flowering period in our garden just now - that is when we have most in flower at the same time. The first, Erythronium caucasicum flowered months ago while others such as Erythronium montanum are not yet through the ground. Erythronium ‘Craigton Cover Girl’ was the first hybrid that I named and I have had no regrets with this selection it regularly has two flowers per stem, occasionally more, they are a good pink with a yellow eye that also displays a red zig-zag pattern. There are a number of very similar hybrids to this one appearing in other gardens as well as ours, many now also being named so there should be plenty available soon to choose from. I do not think I will name another that is very similar to this form but I am watching a few with noticeably darker pink flowers one of which has three flowers per stem – I just hope they will increase. Erythronium revolutum With so many Erythroniums now self-seeding every flower in the garden has to be carefully turned up to see what it is. Without DNA analysis it is sometimes difficult to tell if we have a species or hybrid but I am as sure as I can be that the next few pictures are Erythronium revolutum – above is an almost white form with just a very pale pink wash that is hardly discernable in the picture.

Current anatomical research in Liliaceae, Amaryllidaceae and Iridaceae. Telopea 2(4): 425-452, Fig.1-An annotated bibliography is presented covering literature over the period 1968 to date. Recent research is described and areas of future work are discussed. INTRODUCTION In this article, the literature for the past twelve or so years is recorded on the anatomy of Liliaceae, AmarylIidaceae and Iridaceae and the smaller, related families, Alliaceae, Haemodoraceae, Hypoxidaceae, Ruscaceae, Smilacaceae and Trilliaceae. Subjects covered range from embryology, vegetative and floral anatomy to seed anatomy. A format is used in which references are arranged alphabetically, numbered and annotated, so that the reader can rapidly obtain an idea of the range and contents of papers on subjects of particular interest to him. The main research trends have been identified, classified, and check lists compiled for the major headings. Current systematic anatomy on the 'Anatomy of the Monocotyledons' series is reported. Comment is made on areas of research which might prove to be of future significance.

    Joseph A. Antos Adjunct Professor Terrestrial Plant Ecology CONTACT INFORMATION: Department of Biology PO Box 3020 STN CSC University of Victoria Victoria, British Columbia V8W 3N5 Canada Telephone: (250) 721-7144 E-mail: [email protected] RESEARCH HISTORY AND INTERESTS: I have been conducting studies of various aspects of terrestrial plant ecology for over 30 years. My focus has been on the dynamics of forest stands and their constituent species in Northwestern North America. However, I have conducted studies on a wide range of topics and I have diverse interests under the broad umbrella of terrestrial plant ecology. I consider myself both a community and population ecologist. In somewhat the same way that high species diversity can make a region more interesting, a diversity of research topics can make life more interesting. I have worked on topics ranging from forest succession following volcanic disturbance to gender- specific reproductive differences in dioecious plants. 2 MAJOR AREAS OF RESEARCH: Forest succession: My first work was on forest succession and I have continued examining this topic in a variety of settings. Initially I studied temporal dynamics of moist forests in the Rocky Mountains. Subsequently I have considered early successional changes as well as development of old forests. Succession is a concept of fundamental importance in ecology and I continue to be very interested in how communities, especially forests, change through time. Volcanic disturbance: I didn’t plan to study volcanic disturbance, but life is unpredictable. It wasn’t in the study plan to have my initial Ph.D. project blown up by a volcano.
