THIS little handbook aims at nothing more chan an account of the methods commonly employed in the propagation and crossing of plants, and its province does not extend, therefore, to the discussion of any of the ultimate results or influences of these methods. All such questions as those relating to the formation of buds, the reciprocal influences of cion and stock, com- parative advantages of whole and piece roots, and the re- sults of pollination, do not belong here. In its preparation I have consulted freely all the best literature of the subject, and I have been aided by many persons. The entire volume has been read by skilled propagators, so that even all such directions as are com- monly recommended in other countries have also been sanctioned, if admitted, as best for this. In the propa- gation of trees and shrubs and other hardy ornamentals, I have had the advice of the head propagator of one of the largest nurseries in this country. The whole volume has also passed through the hands of B. M. Watson, Jr., of the Bussey Institution of Harvard University, a teacher of unusual skill and experience in this direction, and who has added greatly to the value of the book. The articles upon orchids and upon most of the different genera of orchids in the Nursery List, have been con- 4 THE NURSERY-BOOK. tributed by W. J. Bean, of the Royal Gardens, - Kew, who is well known as an orchid specialist. I have drawn freely upon the files of magazines, both domestic and foreign, and I have made particular use of Nicholson's Il- lustrated Dictionary of Gardening, Vilmorin's Les Fleurs de Pleine Terre, Le Bon Jardinier, and Riimpler's Illus- triertes Gartenbau-Lexikon. It is believed that the Nursery List contains all the plants which are ordinarily grown by horticulturists in this country either for food or ornament. But in order to give some clew to the propagation of any which are omitted, an ordinal index has been added, by which one can search out plants of a given natural order or family. It cannot be hoped that the book is complete, or that the directions are in every case best for all regions, and any corrections or additions which will be useful in the preparation of a second edition are solicited.

In America the word is commonly used in connection with the propagation of woody plants only, as fruit trees and ornamental trees and shrubs. This is erroneous. The word properly includes the propagation of all plants by whatever means, andi in this sense it is used in this book. THE NURSERY-BOOK. 2 CHAPTER I. SEEDAGE. Seedagfe. —The process or operation of propagating by seeds or spores^ or the state or condition of being propagated by seeds or spores. THERE are three external requisites to the germination of seeds—moisture, free oxygen, and a d^nite tempera- ture. These requisites are demanded in different degrees and" proportions by seeds of different species, or even by seeds of the same species when differing widely in age or degree of maturity. The supply of oxygen usually regulates itself. It is only necessary that the seeds shall not be planted too deep, that the soil is porous and not overloaded with water. Moisture and temperature, however, must be carefully regulated. Regulation of Moisture.—Moisture- is the most important factor in seedage. It is usually applied to the seeds by means of soil or some similar medium, as moss or cocoanut fiber. Fresh and vig- orous seeds endure heavy waterings, but old and poor seeds must be treated sparingly. If there is reason to sus- pect that the seeds are weak, water should not be applied to them directly, A favorite method of handling them is to sow them in a pot of loose and sandy loam which is set inside a larger pot, Fig. I. Double Seed- Pot. the intermediate space being filled with moss, to which, alone, the water is ap- plied. This device is illustrated in Fig. i. The water soaks through the walls of the inner pot and is supplied gradually and N. B. — 10 THE NURSERY-BOOK. constantly to the soil. Even in this case it is necessary to pre- vent soaking the moss too thoroughly, especially with very weak seeds. When many pots are required, they may be simply plunged in moss with the same effect. The soil should be simply very slightly moist, never wet. Moisture is sometimes supplied by setting the seed-pot in a shallow saucer of water, or it may be sufiRcient to simply place it in the humid atmosphere of a propagating-box. Large seeds may be laid upon the surface of the soil in a half-filled pot, covered with thin muslin, and then covered with loose and damp loam. Every day the pot is inverted, the covering taken off and fresh soil is added. A modification of this plan for small seqds can be made by placing the seeds between two layers of thin muslin and inserting them in damp loam, which is frequently renewed to avoid the ex- tremes which would result from watering or from allowing the soil to become dry. In these last operations, no water is applied to the seeds and they constitute one of the most satisfactory methods of dealing with seeds of low vitality. They are essen- tially the methods long ago used by Knight, who laid such seeds between two sods cut from an old and dry pasture. Even sound and strong seeds should be watered with care. Drenchings usually weaken or destroy them. The earth should be kept simply damp. To insure comparative dryness in in-door culture, some loose material, as pieces of broken pots or clinkers, should be placed in the bottom of the pot or box to afford drainage. It should be borne in mind, however, that the seed bed should be approximately equally moist throughout its depth. The waterings should therefore be copious enough to moisten the soil throughout. A wet or moist surface over a dry substratum should always be avoided. Error is common here. It is usually best to apply water with a watering-pot, as watering with a hose is apt to wash out the seeds and to pack the soil, and the quantity of water is not so easily regulated. At first thought, it would appear that the apparently good results following soaking of seeds in many cases, are a contra- diction of these statements that seeds may be over-watered.

The family is monophyletic (Feng 2005, Tukuoka 2008, Wahlert & Ballard 2010 in press), even though phylogenetic relationships within Violaceae are still unclear (Feng 2005, Tukuoka 2008). The family embrace a great diversity of vegetative and floral morphologies. Members are herbs, lianas or trees, with flowers ranging from strongly spurred to unspurred.

Historical Setting of the Guianan Plant Heritage The Guianas are embedded high in the green shoulder of northern South America, an area once known as the "Wild Coast". They are the only non-Latin American countries in South America, and are situated just north of the Equator in a configuration with the Amazon River of Brazil to the south and the Orinoco River of Venezuela to the west. The three Guianas comprise, from west to east, the countries of Guyana (area: 83,000 square miles; capital: Georgetown), Surinam (area: 63, 037 square miles; capital: Paramaribo) and French Guiana (area: 34, 740 square miles; capital: Cayenne). Perhaps the earliest physical contact between Europeans and the present-day Guianas occurred in 1500 when the Spanish navigator Vincente Yanez Pinzon, after discovering the Amazon River, sailed northwest and entered the Oyapock River, which is now the eastern boundary of French Guiana.

AUGUST 2003 Uliga Figure 1. Majuro Atoll THE VASCULAR PLANTS OF MAJURO ATOLL, REPUBLIC OF THE MARSHALL ISLANDS ABSTRACT Majuro Atoll has been a center of activity for the Marshall Islands since 1944 and is now the major population center and port of entry for the country. Previous to the accompanying study, no thorough documentation has been made of the vascular plants of Majuro Atoll. There were only reports that were either part of much larger discussions on the entire Micronesian region or the Marshall Islands as a whole, and were of a very limited scope. Previous reports by Fosberg, Sachet & Oliver (1979, 1982, 1987) presented only 115 vascular plants on Majuro Atoll. In this study, 563 vascular plants have been recorded on Majuro. INTRODUCTION The accompanying report presents a complete flora of Majuro Atoll, which has never been done before. It includes a listing of all species, notation as to origin (i.e. indigenous, aboriginal introduction, recent introduction), as well as the original range of each. The major synonyms are also listed. For almost all, English common names are presented. Marshallese names are given, where these were found, and spelled according to the current spelling system, aside from limitations in diacritic markings. A brief notation of location is given for many of the species. The entire list of 563 plants is provided to give the people a means of gaining a better understanding of the nature of the plants of Majuro Atoll.

Marsdenia maingayi, a rare rainforest climber previously thought to be extinct in Singapore, was rediscovered in the vicinity of MacRitchie Reservoir, Central Catchment Nature Reserve in July 2012. This is the second sighting of the taxon in Singapore since it was first collected in Changi in 1885—more than 120 years later. Based on this recent discovery, additional observations on the taxon are provided here and the conservation status of this species is revised to Critically Endangered for Singapore. Marsdenia maingayi is lectotypified here. Keywords.

(Apocynaceae, Asclepiadoideae) is a genus consisting of about 200 species of twining woody climbers and subshrubs distributed worldwide in the warm tropical and subtropical regions (Mabberley 2008). Robert Brown dedicated the genus to the First Secretary of the British Admiralty, William Marsden (1754- 1836), who was an authority on Sumatran history and an avid promoter of botany (Brown 1810).

    Acta Botanica Brasilica - 31(3): 477-502. July-September 2017. doi: 10.1590/0102-33062016abb0432 Review Floral glands in asclepiads: structure, diversity and evolution Diego Demarco1 Received: December 7, 2016 Accepted: February 24, 2017 . ABSTRACT Species of Apocynaceae stand out among angiosperms in having very complex fl owers, especially those of asclepiads, which belong to the most derived subfamily (Asclepiadoideae). Th ese fl owers are known to represent the highest degree of fl oral synorganization of the eudicots, and are comparable only to orchids. Th is morphological complexity may also be understood by observing their glands. Asclepiads have several protective and nuptial secretory structures. Th eir highly specifi c and specialized pollination systems are associated with the great diversity of glands found in their fl owers. Th is review gathers data regarding all types of fl oral glands described for asclepiads and adds three new types (glandular trichome, secretory idioblast and obturator), for a total of 13 types of glands. Some of the species reported here may have dozens of glands of up to 11 types on a single fl ower, corresponding to the largest diversity of glands recorded to date for a single structure. Keywords: anatomy, Apocynaceae, Asclepiadoideae, diversity, evolution, fl ower, secretory structures considering its most derived subfamily Asclepiadoideae.

Scandent plants are high in conductive capability, but therefore have highly vulnerable hydrosystems; this survey attempts to see what kinds of adaptations exist for safety and in which taxa. A review of scandent dicotyledons reveals that a high proportion possesses vasi­ centric tracheids (22 families) or true tracheids (24 families); the majority of scandent families falls in these categories. Other features for which listings are given include vascular tracheids, fibriform vessel elements, helical sculpture in vessels, starch-rich parenchyma adjacent to vessels, and other parenchyma distributions. The high vulnerability of wide vessels is held to be countered by various mechanisms. True tracheids and vasicentric tracheids potentially safeguard the hydrosystem by serving when large vessels are embolized.
