AN ILLUSTRATED KEY TO THE PRIMULACEAE OF ALBERTA Compiled and writen by Linda Kershaw & Lorna Allen April 2019 © Linda J. Kershaw & Lorna Allen This key was compiled using informaton primarily from Moss (1983), Douglas et. al. (1999) and the Flora North America Associaton (2008). Taxonomy follows VASCAN (Brouillet, 2015). The main references are listed at the end of the key. Please let us know if there are ways in which it can be improved. The 2015 S-ranks of rare species (S1; S1S2; S2; S2S3; SU, according to ACIMS, 2015) are noted in superscript (S1;S2;SU) afer the species names. For more details go to the ACIMS web site. No exotc species in this family are noted as naturalized in AB.

    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

Common Names: moneywort, creeping Jenny, creeping Charlie, creeping Joan, running Jenny, wandering Jenny, wandering sailor Native Origin: Introduced from Europe and southwest Asia for horticulture as an ornamental ground cover. Description: An herbaceous, low-growing, perennial plant in the primrose family (Primulaceae), with evergreen to semi-evergreen foliage. The smooth creeping stems can grow up to 2 feet long and 2-4 inches in height and branch frequently to form a mat-like growth. Leaves are opposite, simple and broadly ovate ¼ to 1 ½ inches long. The broadly oval leaves, which are obtuse at both ends, resemble small coins and give the plant its name. The flowers are solitary in the leaf axils and have pedicels that are about the same length as the leaves. They are yellow with small dark red spots, blooming from June to August, but often do not flower at all. The small seeds are borne in capsular fruits that are roughly as long as its sepals. In riparian areas, seeds are likely dispersed by flood waters. The extent to which seeds are dispersed by animals is not fully known, but some transport seems likely. It is also spreads vegetatively by creeping stems. Habitat: It can be found in a variety of different habitat types; however, it grows most vigorously and poses the biggest threat in moist areas such as wet meadows, swamps, floodplain forests, stream banks, bottoms, ditches, roadsides and along the banks of small water bodies. It prefers moist, rich, shaded soils. Distribution: It is found throughout the eastern United States with the exception of Florida.
