Flowering was observed from early April to early November, The number of plant species that concurrently bloomed was nine to 17 from May to September. Themonthly total number of flowering plant species peaked twice in May (34 spp.) and September (33 spp,). From April to August, floweringperiods werestaggered arnong congeneric woody species, e.g., Lindera, Rubus, Hydrangea and Deutzia. A total of 4603 individuals of 889 species in 12 orders of Insecta and 2 orders of Arachnoidea were collected. The most abundant order was Hymeno- ptera (46 O/o of the total number of individuals), and it was followed by Diptera (30 O/o) and Coleoptera (140/o).

Hvdrangea nacrophvlla breeding, molecular marker, Dichroa, Schizophragma, Platycrater ABSTRACT. Using 14 codominant microsatellite markers that amplify loci across 14 different Hydrangea L. species, we analyzed gene diversity and genetic similarity within Hydrangea. Samples also included Dichroa Lour., Plalycrater Sieb. and Zucc., and Schizophragma Sieb. and Zucc. genera to establish their relatedness to Hydrangea species since previous work suggests they may be closely related. Our results support the close affiliation between Macrophyllae E.M. McClint. and Petalanthe (Maxim.) Rehder subsections and their separation from the other Hydrangea species. Most of the Hydrangea species analyzed cluster within their designated sections and subsections; however, genetic distance between species within each subsection varied considerably. Our data suggest that morphological analyses which labeled H. serrata (Thuiib.) Ser. as a subspecies of H. inacrophylla (Thunb. Ex J.A. Murr.) Ser. are probably more accurate than recent genome size data suggesting H. inacrophylla ssp. inacrophylla (Thunb.) Ser. and H. macrophylla ssp. ser- rata (Thunb.) Makino are separate species. Gene diversity estimates indicate that 64.7% of the total diversity is due to differences between species and 49.7% of the overall variation is due to differences between subsections.

  • Great Plants for Southern Gardens That Missed the Marketing Push©
    Great Plants for Southern Gardens That Missed the Marketing Push 447 Great Plants for Southern Gardens That Missed the Marketing Push© Mark Weathington JC Raulston Arboretum at North Carolina State University, Department of Horticultural Sci- ence, Campus Box 7522, Raleigh, North Carolina 27695 Email: [email protected] INTRODUCTION The JC Raulston Arboretum (JCRA) has a 35-year history of collecting and evalu- ating new plants for introduction to the nursery industry. New plants drive the industry especially those that have a marketing push behind them. Many great landscape plants get passed over in the rush for the latest and greatest but deserve a second look. The JC Raulston Arboretum (JCRA) has grown from the first plant the JCRA planted in the mid-1970s. Conifers which were not supposed to survive in the south have grown into mature specimens. Gardens and collections have been planted, grown up, torn out, and re-established. Students have been the mainstay of the arboretum development and have done a great job when given adequate direction. The JCRA’s collection holds many great landscape plants that may never make it to the mainstream due to propagation difficulties. Other plants have shown they have great potential for the south. DECIDUOUS SHRUBS Rhododendron ‘Yoshino’ has proven its worth in the arboretum with leathery, semi- evergreen foliage and trusses of bright flowers in March. The growth habit is much different than many other evergreen azaleas and is used extensively as a hedging plant in Japan. Hydrangea hirta is an underused member of the genus that suf- fers from not having the sterile florets of other landscape hydrangeas.

These genera delimited by Engler are easily distinguished by their morphological features, and also their habitat and ecological preferences. To rescue the genera adopted by Engler we propose generic segregation of most of the sections and subsections of Hydrangea by Engler according to the tree by De Smet et al. (2015). Genus Hortensia Comm. ex A. L. Juss. applies to the species of sect. Euhydrangea subsect. Petalanthae of Engler, and is divided into three sections named Hortensia, Chinenses, and Hirtae. Hydrangea involucrata and H. sikokiana are classified into genus Platycrater Siebold & Zucc., Hydrangea integrifolia Hayata is transfered to genus Cornidia Ruiz & Pav., H. petiolaris Siebold & Zucc. to genus Calyptranthe (Maxim.) H. Ohba & S. Akiyama, and also H. paniculata and similar species to genus Heteromalla (Rehder) H. Ohba & S. Akiyama. The necessary combinations and new states are proposed. A new form of Hortensia serrata, named f. plenidecuris is proposed.

  • A Plantsman's Observations on the Genus Hydrangea
    Davidsonia 14:2 31 A Plantsman’s Observations on the Genus Hydrangea The hydrangea family, Hydrangeaceae, is a respectable conglomeration of shrubs, vines and herbaceous perennials resulting from a recent extraction from a behemoth institution known as the Saxifragaceae. The herbaceous components, in the respective genera of Cardiandra and Deinanthe proffer ornamental species for cultivation although it is the woody taxa of shrubs and lianas of this family, in the genera Hydrangea, Deutzia, Philadelphus, Platycrater and Schizophragma, that are by far the most familiar. Other than the exceptions of Hydrangea paniculata and H. quercifolia, the prototypical hydrangea inflorescence is a corymb; a rounded disc of numerous small, fertile flowers that possess insignificant sepals and four or five small often white, pink or blue petals. This cluster of ‘utility’ is surrounded by the advertising agency of sterile florets, or ray flowers, that provide the stuff of ornament. The ovaries are, as a rule, inferior (i.e., enclosed in the receptacle), while the dehiscent capsules, sometimes in the shape of a Grecian water jar, gave rise to the genus name; hydro, water and angeion, a vessel. The foliage is, without exception, arranged in pairs. This floral strategy of sacrificing the fertility of a few flowers to provoke a bit of curiosity by commuting pollinators has co-evolved in other non- related groups, most notably in the genus Viburnum. Thus, it would not come as a complete surprise to those who have grown a double-file viburnum, Viburnum plicatum, that the second Asiatic hydrangea to be noted by Western botanists (in Japan, in 1777) was named Viburnum serratum.

Status of the Guidelines Environmental loads from human activities are said to result in an annual loss of approximately 7.3 million hectares of forests and the extinction of approximately 40,000 organisms on the Earth. In Tokyo, green areas have tended to decrease over time, resulting in a number of problems, including the adverse effects of alien species* etc. on local ecosystems. Against this background of such crisis of biodiversity, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government(TMG) published its regional biodiversity strategy entitled “Tokyo Green Plan 2012:City Biodiversity Strategy” in May 2012, launching new measures such as those for not only securing the “quantity” of greenery but also increasing the “quality” of greenery, including biodiversity conservation. TMG has so far been proactively implementing comprehensive programs for urban greening with the participation and cooperation of private sectors, NPOs, and Tokyo residents, including the establishment of the Umi-no-Mori (Sea Forest) and urban parks, doubling the number of roadside trees, grassing schoolyard, and rooftop/wall greening.
