  • 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

  • Landscaping Near Black Walnut Trees
    Selecting juglone-tolerant plants Landscaping Near Black Walnut Trees Black walnut trees (Juglans nigra) can be very attractive in the home landscape when grown as shade trees, reaching a potential height of 100 feet. The walnuts they produce are a food source for squirrels, other wildlife and people as well. However, whether a black walnut tree already exists on your property or you are considering planting one, be aware that black walnuts produce juglone. This is a natural but toxic chemical they produce to reduce competition for resources from other plants. This natural self-defense mechanism can be harmful to nearby plants causing “walnut wilt.” Having a walnut tree in your landscape, however, certainly does not mean the landscape will be barren. Not all plants are sensitive to juglone. Many trees, vines, shrubs, ground covers, annuals and perennials will grow and even thrive in close proximity to a walnut tree. Production and Effect of Juglone Toxicity Juglone, which occurs in all parts of the black walnut tree, can affect other plants by several means: Stems Through root contact Leaves Through leakage or decay in the soil Through falling and decaying leaves When rain leaches and drips juglone from leaves Nuts and hulls and branches onto plants below. Juglone is most concentrated in the buds, nut hulls and All parts of the black walnut tree produce roots and, to a lesser degree, in leaves and stems. Plants toxic juglone to varying degrees. located beneath the canopy of walnut trees are most at risk. In general, the toxic zone around a mature walnut tree is within 50 to 60 feet of the trunk, but can extend to 80 feet.

  • Daylily Leaf Streak1
    Plant Pathology Circular No. 376 Fla. Dept. Agric. & Consumer Services March/April 1996 Division of Plant Industry Daylily Leaf Streak1 R. M. Leahy' and T. S. Schubert2 INTRODUCTION: Daylilies (Hemerocallis spp. L.) are used extensively throughout the United States as a colorful addition to sunny and partially shaded landscapes. Thousands of varieties have been developed, each providing about a month of showy blooms during seasons that overlap from spring to early fall. Once established in a landscape setting, daylilies require relatively low maintenance. Hemerocallis spp. are quite drought tolerant with no special pH or fertilizer requirements. In addition, daylilies generally have few insect and disease problems. PATHOGEN: Daylily leaf streak is caused by Aureobasidium microstictum (Bubak) W. B. Cooke (syn. Kabatiella microstictum Bubak) (Hermanides-Nijhof 1977). The disease first attracted serious attention in Mississippi in 1968 and the pathogen was provisionally named Gloeocephalus hemerocalli (Spencer 1968). The daylily leaf streak pathogen has also been reported from: 1) Louisiana as Collecephalus hemerocalli J. A. Spencer (Holcomb 1976); 2) Pennsylvania, also as C. hemerocalli (Rhoades 1974); 3) Maryland as Kabatiella sp. (microsticta?) (Anonymous 1960) and Collecephalus hemerocalli J. A. Spencer var. macrosporum J. N. Lunsford and J. A. Spencer (Lunsford and Spencer 1976); 4) Virginia as C. hemerocalli (Lyons 1993); and 5) Japan as A. microstictum (Yoshikawa and Yokoyama 1987). The disease was first reported in Florida in 1984, at which time the taxonomic confusion concerning the pathogen was recognized (Alfieri et al. 1993). Fig. 1.

  • Daylilies: for the Generations
    Daylilies: For the Generations Plants that have existed in gardens for hundreds of years are admired for a reason. Our mothers, grandmothers, and great-grandmothers may have known a list of traits that make a good “pass-along plant.” First and foremost, the plant had to be easy to propagate. Then it had to be tough, pretty, and usable. The final item on the list – there must be memories attached to the plant. A good pass-along plant for your garden is the daylily, from the genus Hemerocallis (pronounced hem-er-oh- CAL-iss). Daylilies are a snap to grow, beautiful to see, and easy to divide and share. Daylilies have existed for hundreds of years. Originally native to Asia in areas of China, Korea and Japan, they first jumped to Europe in the 16th century, then on to the New World. The traveling daylilies became treasured and shared with family members, neighbors, and friends. Soon the trumpet shaped flowers appeared along roadways and cemeteries as the plants naturalized on their own with ease. According to the Invasive Plant Atlas of the United States, “Hemerocallis fulva established in natural areas pose a threat to native plants in field, meadows, floodplains, moist woods and forest edges.” So, use caution when deciding what species to plant. The hero in daylily propagation history is A.B. Stout, a botanist and the father of the modern daylily. In the 1920’s Dr. Stout used worldwide daylily plants to create 50,000 crosses. His introduction of 100 new varieties created plants that are still grown and cherished today.

  • A Survey of the Volatile Profiles of Daylily Species and Hybrids©A
    1 3B-Keene-1stPlace-IPPS-2018.doc A Survey of the Volatile Profiles of Daylily Species and Hybrids©a S.A. Keeneb, T.S. Johnson, C.L. Sigler, T.N. Kalk, P. Genho, and T.A. Colquhoun 1523 Fifield Hall, PO Box 110670, Gainesville, Florida 32611, USA bEmail: [email protected] Keywords: Hemerocallis, fragrance, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, hybridization SUMMARY Daylilies (Hemerocallis) lost their fragrance as a result of many years of hybridization that singularly focused on flower color and form. Using a field collection system and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, this study assessed the fragrance profiles of 147 daylilies. Major volatile constituents and their variations in the daylily study populations were determined and suggest that fragrance could be a trait pursued in a breeding program to enhance the sensory phenotypes of new daylily varieties. INTRODUCTION Daylilies belong to the genus Hemerocallis and are monocotyledonous herbaceous perennial plants. The genus and common name reflect the blooming habit of daylilies: their flowers only last for one day. Daylilies are native to sub-tropical and temperate Asia, arising mainly from China, Korea, and Japan (Rodriguez-Enriquez and Grant-Downton, 2013). Approximately 20 species are recognized, the colorations of which are limited to yellow, orange, and fulvous red (Gulia et al., 2009). Daylily hybridization began in earnest in the early 20th ____________________ a First Place- Graduate Student Research Paper Competition 2 century, mostly by amateur breeders that focused on increasing the diversity of flower colors, shapes, and forms (Gulia et al., 2009). Nowadays, daylilies come in a dazzling array of colors, patterns, shapes, and sizes, and many of these “hybrids” bear little to no resemblance to the modest species from which they were derived.
