  • Crassulaceae Stonecrop Family
    Crassulaceae stonecrop family Mainly northern, this family is represented in Nova Scotia by only a few species out of a total of 300. Page | 491 They are succulent herbaceous plants, bearing small yellow, white or pink flowers. Sepals and petals are five-merous; stamens number twice as many as the petals. Pistils 3–5; fruit is a follicle. Best-known as rock garden ornamentals, we have a single native species.(Key adapted from Go Botany). Key to genera A. Plants annual; aquatic or amphibious; flowers solitary; leaves connate around Crassula the stem. aa. Plants perennial; terrestrial; flowers usually in cymes; leaves not as above. B B. Leaves entire; plants matted with creeping stems. Sedum bb. Leaves toothed; plants with upright stems, which may be C decumbent at the base, or from stolons. C.

    Landscaping for a Healthy Environment! JERSEY-FRIENDLY YARDS CASE STUDY #2 Cedarcroft Club Goal: 347 Cedarcroft Drive To establish a healthy landscape with Brick, NJ 08724 curb appeal using New Jersey native plants, while developing a showcase for community education and access. Funding for this project was provided by NJDEP, 319h Grant #RP13-007. This project was conducted in collaboration with the Barnegat Bay Site Assessment: Partnership. Cedarcroft is a shore resident community bordering the northern shoreline of the Metedeconk River. Two areas were addressed with this project. The front yard of the Clubhouse has sandy soil containing no visible soil organisms, has a slight slope towards the road, lack of vegetative cover, and receives full sun. The substrate around the Cedarcroft Legend sign near the entrance to the neighborhood is sloped towards the road; the soil contains large aggregates and adequate organic matter. Both sites have fair to good drainage. Existing vegetation on both sites looks healthy. Installed irrigation is not available on either site. We went from novice gardener to Actions: Limestone and potassium were added semi-professional! to the soil, as per the soil test results -Bob Byrnes and Andy Jazz and recommendations from the Rut- gers Cooperative Extension Soil Labor- PLANT LIST atory.

  • The Use of Regional Phylogenies in Exploring the Structure of Plant Assemblages
    The use of regional phylogenies in exploring the structure of plant assemblages Tammy L. Elliott Doctor of Philosophy Department of Biology McGill University Montr´eal, Qu´ebec, Canada 2015-09-015 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy c Copyright Tammy L. Elliott, 2015 All rights reserved Dedication I dedicate this thesis to my parents, who sadly both left this world much to early. I like to dream that you are both enjoying your time together in a place with no worries, where you can enjoy all of the wonderful things in life. Dad—Although you left us when we were so young, I daily cherish the special times the two of us spent together. The memories of exploring the countryside, visiting neighbours, caring for the pigs and skipping school to fish are always close to my heart. Mom—I miss your strength, interesting perspective (albeit humorously pessimistic), no-nonsense attitude towards life and listening ear. I hope that you are finding ways to enjoy your grandchildren and tend your beautiful gardens. I would like to assure you that yes—one day I will have a full-time job. If Roses grow in Heaven Lord, please pick a bunch for me. Place them in my Mother’s arms and tell her they’re from me. Tell her that I love her and miss her, and when she turns to smile, place a kiss upon her cheek and hold her for awhile Because remembering her is easy, I do it every day, but there’s an ache within my heart that will never go away.
