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 -

Plants are commonly called hyacinths. Hyacinthus grows from bulbs, each producing around four to six linear leaves and one to three spikes (racemes) of flowers. This hyacinth has a single dense spike of fragrant flowers in shades of red, blue, white, orange, pink, violet, or yellow. A form of the common hyacinth is the less hardy and smaller blue or white-petalled Roman hyacinth of florists. These flowers should have indirect sunlight and are to be moderately watered. Common name(s): Common hyacinth, garden hyacinth or Dutch hyacinth Flower colours: Yellow Bloom time: Spring; but can be forced to flower earlier indoors Max reacahble height: 15 to 20 cm Difficulty to grow:: Easy to grow Planting and care 1 / 3 Buy hyacinth (yellow stone) - bulbs online at nurserylive | Best flower bulbs at lowest price Hyacinth bulbs are planted in the fall and borne in spring. The Victorians revered hyacinths for their sweet, lingering fragrance, and carefully massed them in low beds, planting in rows of one color each.

Year of the Hyacinth Flyer
Celebrate the Year of the Hyacinth! Hyacinths are spring-flowering bulbs that are treasured by gardeners for their heavenly fragrance. Overview and History Flower lovers began cultivating hyacinths more than 400 years ago. During the 18th century, they were the most popular spring bulbs in the world, and Dutch growers offered more than 2000 named cultivars. Today, there are less than 50 cultivars in commercial production, but the hyacinth’s beauty and sweet perfume are as enchanting as ever. Commonly called Dutch hyacinths or garden hyacinths, they are hybrids of a single species (Hyacinthus orientalis) that grows wild in Turkey, Syria, and other areas in the eastern Mediterranean. Basic Types and Variety Names Today’s garden hyacinths look very different from the wild species. After centuries of breeding, they have taller flower spikes and much larger, mostly double florets that are tightly packed along the stem. Each hyacinth bulb produces a single 8 to 12″ tall flower stalk and 4 to 6 strappy leaves. The blossoms open in mid- spring, at the same time as daffodils and early tulips. Hyacinths come in rich, saturated colors. The most popular cultivars are shades of purple and blue, which include Blue Jacket (royal blue), Delft Blue (cerulean), and Aida (violet-blue). Other colors are equally lovely and suggest lots of creative pairings. These include Woodstock (burgundy), Jan Bos (hot pink), Aiolos (white), Gypsy Queen (peach), and City of Haarlem (pale yellow). Garden Tips for Hyacinths: Plant hyacinth bulbs where it will be easy to enjoy their fragrance: near a doorway, along a garden path, or at the front edge of a flower border. -
Bulb Garden Care Please Read All Instructions Before Proceeding
Bulb Garden Care Please read all instructions before proceeding. Our pre-planted bulbs are stored in coolers under complete darkness to prepare them for indoor bloom. Because they are stored in the dark, their sprouts may be yellow and somewhat bent upon arrival. Once you place them in bright light, the sprouts will straighten and turn a healthy green in a few days. Care Upon Arrival Open the box immediately to allow air circulation. If you cannot care for your plants for a day or two after arrival, place the open box in a cool, dark, non- freezing location. NOTE: Your bulbs may arrive frozen. Freezing does not harm spring-blooming bulbs, such as tulips, crocus, hyacinths and narcissus. Place your bulb garden in a room-temperature location where it can thaw slowly. Handle your plants very carefully so that you don't damage any tender new sprouts while removing the packing material. To make it easier to monitor soil moisture, we suggest removing any protective moss covering upon arrival. You may wish to leave a light layer of moss around the plants for decoration. If the soil is dry when plants arrive, remove the pot from the decorative container and water it well to moisten the soil. Allow the pot to drain thoroughly before placing it back into in the decorative container. Growing and Maintenance Place the Bulb Garden in a cool, brightly lit location, ideally no more than 2' to 3' from a window or under bright artificial light. Temperatures between 60 to 65º F are best. Plants grow more compactly and blooms last longer in cool temperatures. -

Mini Data Sheet on Asparagus Asparagoides (Asparagaceae)
EPPO, 2013 Mini data sheet on Asparagus asparagoides (Asparagaceae) Added in 2012 – Deleted in 2013 Reasons for deletion: Asparagus asparagoides was added to the EPPO Alert List in 2012 but as no immediate risk was perceived, it was transferred to the Observation List in 2013. Why Asparagus asparagoides (Asparagaceae) is a rhizomatous perennial climbing vine originating from South Africa. One of its English common names is “bridal creeper”. This species is invasive in Australia. It is used as an ornamental plant in the EPPO region, and is listed as an invasive alien plant in Spain, but is also present in other EPPO member countries. Considering the invasive behavior of this species elsewhere in the world as well as in EPPO countries, it is considered that Mediterranean and Macaronesian countries may be at risk, and that the species should usefully be monitored. Geographical distribution EPPO region: France (including Corse), Italy (Sicilia), Malta, Morocco, Portugal (Azores, Madeira), Spain (including Islas Canarias), Tunisia. Note: The species had erroneously been indicated as present in Slovenia (from an incorrect interpretation of Jogan, 2005). Africa (native): Ethiopia, Kenya, Lesotho, Malawi, Morocco, Namibia, South Africa, Swaziland, Tanzania, Tunisia, Uganda, Zimbabwe. North America: Mexico, USA (California, Hawaii (East Maui)). South and Central America: Argentina, Guatemala, Uruguay. Oceania (invasive): Australia (New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria, Western Australia), New Zealand. Morphology A. asparagoides is a geophyte with a perennial cylindrical, slender (about 5 mm wide), branching rhizome, growing parallel to the soil surface, bearing fleshy tubers (25–42 mm long and 8–20 mm wide). It produces thin shoots, slightly woody at the base and up to 6 m long when support is available. -

Two new species and one new variety of Aspidistra Ker-Gawl. (Asparagaceae: Nolinoideae) from southern and central Vietnam, A. ventricosa Tillich & Škorničk., A. mirostigma Tillich & Škorničk., and A. connata Tillich var. radiata Tillich & Škorničk., are described and illustrated here. Keywords. Asparagaceae, Aspidistra, Convallariaceae s. str., Nolinoideae, Ruscaceae s.l., Vietnam Introduction The genus Aspidistra Ker-Gawl. (Asparagaceae: Nolinoideae – formerly also placed in Convallariaceae and in Ruscaceae) ranges from Assam (India) in the west to southern Japan in the east, and from central China southwards to the Malay Peninsula. Its centre of diversity is in southeast China (Guangxi Province) and adjacent northern Vietnam (Tillich, 2005). The number of known species continues to grow as the Indochinese floristic region is better explored. Currently more than 100 species are recognised (Tillich & Averyanov, 2012) of which many were first reported from Vietnam only in the last decade (Bogner & Arnautov, 2004; Bräuchler & Ngoc, 2005; Tillich, 2005, 2006, 2008; Tillich et al., 2007; Tillich & Averyanov, 2008, 2012; Averyanov & Tillich, 2012, 2013, submitted; Tillich & Leong-Škorničková, 2013; Vislobokov et al., 2013). -

This research aimed to investigate the anthocyanins profiles in the grape hyacinth (Muscari neglectum Guss. ex Ten.). Materials and methods: The identification of individual anthocyanins was carried using the method of high-performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection and mass spectrometry with electrospray ionization (DAD-ESI-MS) analysis. Chromatographic separation and tandem mass spectrometric analyses were performed on an Agilent 1100 HPLC system and Agilent 6410 triple quadrupole system equipped with an electrospray ion source (ESI) in positive ion mode. Results: In the M. neglectum flowers (tepals), nine individual anthocyanins, containing delphinidin, petunidin, malvidine, pelargonidin aglycones were found. In this research, we report anthocyanin profiles for the M. neglectum flowers for the first time. Conclusion: The obtained results concerning anthocyanins composition may be very useful for researchers in the field of the standardization and activity evaluation of extracts produced from M. -
JUDD W.S. Et. Al. (1999) Plant Systematics
CHAPTER8 Phylogenetic Relationships of Angiosperms he angiosperms (or flowering plants) are the dominant group of land Tplants. The monophyly of this group is strongly supported, as dis- cussed in the previous chapter, and these plants are possibly sister (among extant seed plants) to the gnetopsids (Chase et al. 1993; Crane 1985; Donoghue and Doyle 1989; Doyle 1996; Doyle et al. 1994). The angio- sperms have a long fossil record, going back to the upper Jurassic and increasing in abundance as one moves through the Cretaceous (Beck 1973; Sun et al. 1998). The group probably originated during the Jurassic, more than 140 million years ago. Cladistic analyses based on morphology, rRNA, rbcL, and atpB sequences do not support the traditional division of angiosperms into monocots (plants with a single cotyledon, radicle aborting early in growth with the root system adventitious, stems with scattered vascular bundles and usually lacking secondary growth, leaves with parallel venation, flow- ers 3-merous, and pollen grains usually monosulcate) and dicots (plants with two cotyledons, radicle not aborting and giving rise to mature root system, stems with vascular bundles in a ring and often showing sec- ondary growth, leaves with a network of veins forming a pinnate to palmate pattern, flowers 4- or 5-merous, and pollen grains predominantly tricolpate or modifications thereof) (Chase et al. 1993; Doyle 1996; Doyle et al. 1994; Donoghue and Doyle 1989). In all published cladistic analyses the “dicots” form a paraphyletic complex, and features such as two cotyle- dons, a persistent radicle, stems with vascular bundles in a ring, secondary growth, and leaves with net venation are plesiomorphic within angio- sperms; that is, these features evolved earlier in the phylogenetic history of tracheophytes.
