Haemanthus Canaliculatus | Plantz Africa About:Reader?Url=
Haemanthus canaliculatus | Plantz Africa about:reader?url=http://pza.sanbi.org/haemanthus-canaliculatus pza.sanbi.org Haemanthus canaliculatus | Plantz Africa Introduction In late summer or early autumn, after fires have swept through some of the swampy areas near the sea in the Hangklip area, you may be lucky enough to see the red paintbrushes of Haemanthus canaliculatus glowing brightly amongst the blackened remains of the vegetation. Description Description The bulbs are made up of a number of thick, fleshy, cream-coloured, overlapping, truncated bulb scales, arranged like a fan, with perennial fleshy roots. There are usually 2 (sometimes 1, 3 or 4) narrow smooth fleshy leaves up to 600 mm long, curved along 1 of 5 2016/12/14 03:51 PM Haemanthus canaliculatus | Plantz Africa about:reader?url=http://pza.sanbi.org/haemanthus-canaliculatus their length to form a channel. They are 5-27 mm wide, shiny green with reddish barred markings towards the base, especially on the lower surface. The smooth, thick, flattened, upright or curved flower stalks can be up to 200 mm long, 4-10 mm wide and are reddishpink to deep red, sometimes with deeper red spots especially near the base; 5-7 pointed, leathery bracts, called spathes, surround the 15-45 flowers clustered at the top of the stalk. The spathes and flowers are usually red but very occasionally may be pink. The flowers are topped with yellow anthers. The reddish berries are round and about 20 mm in diameter. Under natural conditions the flowering time is from February to March and the leaves usually appear after the flowers from May to December. -
Chromosomes and Phylogeny in Crepis
'y CHROMOSOMES AND PHYLOGENY IN CREPIS BY LILLIAN HOLLINGSHEAD AND ERNEST B. BABCOCK inn University of California Publications in Agricultural Sciences Volume 6, No. 1, pp. 1-53, 24 figures in text Issued January 4, 1930 University of California Press Berkeley, California Cambridge University Press London, England CHROMOSOMES AND PHYLOGENY IN CREPIS BY LILLIAN HOLLINGSHEAD and EENEST B. BABCOCK INTRODUCTION In connection with genetic and taxonomic studies of Crepis, an examination of as many species as could be brought into cultivation has been in progress for about ten years. The earlier work on the chromosomes was done by Dr. Margaret Mann Lesley, who studied particularly numbers and sizes (Mann, 1922, 1925; Babcock and Lesley, 1926). The work of M. Navashin (1925, 1926) and Taylor (1925, 1926), who described satellites and constrictions for the first time in this genus, showed that a closer morphological study of the chromosomes from suitably fixed material would be of value for com- parative studies of related species. It is the purpose of this paper to present our knowledge of number and morphology of the chromosomes in seventy species and to con- sider this evidence in relation to a system of classification based on phylogenetic relationship. But the present paper is not intended to serve as a taxonomic treatise. Therefore no keys or descriptions of species will appear and there will be no attempt to set forth the detailed evidence for the phylogenetic groupings proposed, as such descriptions and data will appear in a taxonomic treatment now in preparation. The specific names used have been carefully verified as to identity, priority, and authorship, and are in nearly every case the same as those which will be used in later publications. -

NHESP is responsible for the conservation and protection of hundreds of species that are not hunted, fished, trapped, or commercially harvested in the state. The Program's highest priority is protecting the 176 species of vertebrate and invertebrate animals and 259 species of native plants that are officially listed as Endangered, Threatened or of Special Concern in Massachusetts. Endangered species conservation in Massachusetts depends on you! A major source of funding for the protection of rare and endangered species comes from voluntary donations on state income tax forms.

Van Zyverden's
Van Zyverden’s ALLIUM KARATAVIENSE Allium are in the same family as garlic, onions, chives and shallots. This makes gardeners wonder if they should include them in their ornamental gardening plans, as it conjures up images of supermarket produce. But because good garden designs are often made up of different shapes, allium’s rounded blooms make for high drama and interest in the garden. The Allium group gets more popular annually, from over 300 species to choose. They amaze everyone, and few plants create this kind of wow in the garden. We will be adding many new varieties shortly. Leaves and bulbs Commonly called Turkistan onion Deer and rodent resistant have a mild onion-like aroma when cut or bruised. About This Variety: Allium Karataviense is a compact, bulbous perennial that is ornamentally grown for both its foliage and its flowers. It is native to the Karatau Mountains (hence the specific epithet) in Kazakhstan. Broad-elliptic, spreading, gray-green, basal leaves appear in pairs. Leaves are sometimes mottled with purple. In late spring, a short but sturdy flowering stem rises from the center of each leaf pair. Each flowering stem is topped with a large spherical flower head containing tiny, star-shaped, dull pink florets. Flowers bloom in early summer. Flowers have a mild fragrance. Growing Instructions: As Alliums do not like wet feet, find a sunny location where the soil drains well or try to improve the drainage. The bulbs will rot in wet areas. Aside from that, almost no maintenance is required. Care Tip: Dig, divide, and replant bulbs after a few years of decreasing flower production.
