  • Native Trees of Georgia
    1 NATIVE TREES OF GEORGIA By G. Norman Bishop Professor of Forestry George Foster Peabody School of Forestry University of Georgia Currently Named Daniel B. Warnell School of Forest Resources University of Georgia GEORGIA FORESTRY COMMISSION Eleventh Printing - 2001 Revised Edition 2 FOREWARD This manual has been prepared in an effort to give to those interested in the trees of Georgia a means by which they may gain a more intimate knowledge of the tree species. Of about 250 species native to the state, only 92 are described here. These were chosen for their commercial importance, distribution over the state or because of some unusual characteristic. Since the manual is intended primarily for the use of the layman, technical terms have been omitted wherever possible; however, the scientific names of the trees and the families to which they belong, have been included. It might be explained that the species are grouped by families, the name of each occurring at the top of the page over the name of the first member of that family. Also, there is included in the text, a subdivision entitled KEY CHARACTERISTICS, the purpose of which is to give the reader, all in one group, the most outstanding features whereby he may more easily recognize the tree. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The author wishes to express his appreciation to the Houghton Mifflin Company, publishers of Sargent’s Manual of the Trees of North America, for permission to use the cuts of all trees appearing in this manual; to B. R. Stogsdill for assistance in arranging the material; to W.

(May 2007) Geoffrey Carlile Denny, B.S., Texas A&M University; M.A., The University of Texas Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Michael A. Arnold Taxodium distichum (L.) Rich. is a widely adaptable, long-lived tree species for landscape use. It is tolerant of substantial soil salt levels, but tends to defoliate in periods of extended or severe drought, when leaves come into contact with salty irrigation water, and tends to develop chlorosis on high pH soils. The purpose of this research was to identify provenances which may yield genotypes tolerant of these stresses. The appropriate name for baldcypress is Taxodium distichum (L.) Rich. var. distichum, for pondcypress is T. distichum var. imbricarium (Nutt.) Croom, and for Montezuma cypress is T. distichum var.

  • Morphology and Morphogenesis of the Seed Cones of the Cupressaceae - Part I Cunninghamioideae, Athrotaxoideae, Taiwanioideae, Sequoioideae, Taxodioideae
    1 2 Bull. CCP 3 (3): 117-136. (12.2014) A. Jagel & V.M. Dörken Morphology and morphogenesis of the seed cones of the Cupressaceae - part I Cunninghamioideae, Athrotaxoideae, Taiwanioideae, Sequoioideae, Taxodioideae Summary Seed cone morphology of the basal Cupressaceae (Cunninghamia, Athrotaxis, Taiwania, Metasequoia, Sequoia, Sequoiadendron, Cryptomeria, Glyptostrobus and Taxodium) is presented at pollination time and at maturity. These genera are named here taxodiaceous Cupressaceae (= the former family Taxodiaceae, except for Sciadopitys). Some close relationships exist between genera within the Sequoioideae and Taxodioideae. Seed cones of taxodiaceous Cupressaceae consist of several bract-/seed scale-complexes. The cone scales represent aggregation of both scale types on different levels of connation. Within Cunninghamia and Athrotaxis the bulges growing out of the cone scales represents the distal tip of the seed scale, which has been fused recaulescent with the adaxial part of the bract scale. In Athrotaxis a second bulge, emerging on the distal part of the cone scale, closes the cone. This bulge is part of the bract scale. Related conditions are found in the seed cones of Taiwania and Sequoioideae, but within these taxa bract- and seed scales are completely fused with each other so that vegetative parts of the seed scale are not recognizable. The ovules represent the only visible part of the seed scale. Within taxodiaceous Cupressaceae the number of ovules is increased compared to taxa of other conifer families. It is developed most distinctly within the Sequoioideae, where furthermore more than one row of ovules appears. The rows develop centrifugally and can be interpreted as short-shoots which are completely reduced to the ovules in the sense of ascending accessory shoots.

The total solvent extract solutions were analyzed as the free and derivatized products by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry to identify the compounds, which comprised minor mono- and sesquiterpenoids, and dominant di- and triterpenoids, plus aliphatic lipids (e.g., n-nonacosan-10-ol). Ferruginol, 7α-p- cymenylferruginol, and chamaecydin were the major characteristic markers for the Taxodioideae conifer subfamily. The mass spectrometric data can aid polar compound elucidation in environmental, geological, archeological, forensic and pharmaceutical studies. Keywords: Cryptomeria japonica; Glyptostrobus pensilis; Taxodium distichum; Taxodium mucronatum; Cupressaceae; GC-MS overview; terpenoids 1. Introduction Natural products, especially terpenoids or their derivatives, are preserved in the ambient environment or geological record. When extracted and characterized by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) they are used by organic geochemists as tracers for sources, transport and alteration processes of organic matter in any global compartment [1–15].

  • CONIFERS OFTEN USED for BONSAI in NORTH AMERICA We Have Consulted the Plant List and Some Regional Floras to Verify Correct Scientific Names
    CONIFERS OFTEN USED FOR BONSAI IN NORTH AMERICA We have consulted The Plant List and some regional floras to verify correct scientific names. For detailed information on individual conifer species, including photographs, we recommend that you go to conifers.org. Trees are evergreen unless otherwise noted. Species that are native in North America are green. COMMON NAME(s) LATIN NAME (Genus) COMMENTS Firs Abies Firs have flattened needles arranged in more or less flattened rows along opposite sides of twigs. Mature seed cones are upright, appearing somewhat like fat candles on the uppermost tree branches. When the cones are mature, they disintegrate. Firs are widespread inhabitants of cooler areas of the North Temperate Zone. They prefer cool to cold, acid, continually moist soil and high light intensity. These requirements mean that they rarely are successful long-term bonsai subjects. True Cedars Cedrus Depending on which source you consult, there are three to five species in this genus. Atlas Cedar, Cedrus atlantica, is the only species usually used for bonsai, and plants with silvery-bluish needles (‘Glauca’ or “Blue Atlas”) are favored. This species is native in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco and Algeria. False Cypresses Chamaecyparis Chamaecyparis obtusa ‘Nana’, Dwarf Hinoki Cypress, is a selection of Hinoki Cypress which is native to Japan and Taiwan. It is a common bonsai subject. Chamaecyparis thyoides, Atlantic White Cedar, is sometimes used for bonsai. In nature, it grows in acid Southeastern acidic coastal plain bogs. Sawara Cypress, C. pisifera, is a Japanese species occasionally used for bonsai. Members of this genus have flattened, scale-leaves.

  • An Updated List of Species Used in Tree-Ring Research
    TREE-RING BULLETIN, Vol. 53, 1993 AN UPDATED LIST OF SPECIES USED IN TREE-RING RESEARCH HENRI D. GRISSINO-MAYER Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research University of Arizona Tucson, AZ 85721, U.S.A. ABSTRACT During the past 100 years, researchers have investigated the potential of hundreds of tree and shrub species for use in applications of tree-ring research. Although several lists of species known to crossdate have been published, investigated species that do not crossdate are rarely included despite the usefulness of this infonnation for future research. This paper provides a list of the Latin and common names of 573 species that have been investigated in tree-ring research, infor­ mation on species known to crossdate, and information on species with measurement and/or chronology data in the International Tree-Ring Data Bank. In addition, a measure of the suitability of a species for future tree-ring applications, the Crossdating Index (CDI), is developed and pro­ posed for standard usage. 1n den letzten hundert J ahren haben Forscher das Potential von hunderten von Baum- und Buscharten fi.ir die Anwendung in der Jahresring-Forschung untersucht. Zahlreiche Listen mit Arten, von denen man wei~, da~ sie zeitlich korrespondieren, sind bereits veroffentlicht worden, dagegen sind untersuchte Arten, die nicht zeitlich korresponclieren, selten in Publikationen beriick­ sichtigt worden, obwohl diese Informationen fi.ir die kiinftige Forschung nutzvoll sein konnten. Dieser Artikel legt eine Liste der lateinischen und der gemeinen Narnen von 573 Arten vor, die im Rahmen der Jahresring-Forschung untersucht worden sind, Inforrnationen Uber Arten, die bekan­ nterweise zeitlich korrespondieren sowie Informationen iiber Arten mit Ma~- und/oder Chronologiedaten in der intemationalen Jahresring-Datenbank (International Tree-Ring Data Bank).

Himes2 1Department of Fish and Wildlife Conservation, Virginia Tech, 100 Cheatham Hall, MC 0321, Blacksburg, Virginia 24061, USA 2Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, 3911 Highway 2321, Panama City, Florida 32409, USA *Corresponding author: Tel.: 001-540-250-8594; e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Although fire is recognized as an important disturbance in longleaf pine uplands of the southeastern US, less is known about the importance of fire or other disturbances in the wetlands embedded within this ecosystem. The reticulated flatwoods salamander (Am- bystoma bishopi), a federally endangered species, and other rare and declining amphibi- ans, are less likely to breed in low-quality wetlands with high canopy cover and low her- baceous groundcover that typically occur from fire exclusion. Fire rarely carries through these wetlands during winter because of the presence of standing water at this time of year. Our objective was to evaluate whether mechanical removal of the woody midstory could serve as a surrogate for fire, and create high-quality wetlands with moderate cano- py cover and high herbaceous groundcover. We chose a series of high-quality (n = 4) and low-quality (n = 21) ephemeral wetlands for study. A subset of the low-quality wet- lands were then treated mechanically and with herbicide (n = 8), burned (n = 4), or re- tained in a low-quality state (n = 7).
