  • Verbena Bonariensis
    A Horticulture Information article from the Wisconsin Master Gardener website, posted 16 July 2004 Verbena bonariensis Clusters of small purple fl owers fl oating on long, airy stems tempting passing butterfl ies to stop for a sip is just one reason to consider adding Verbena bonairiensis, also called tall verbena or purpletop verbena, to your garden. This plant is just one of about 250 species in the genus Verbena, of which only about half a dozen are in cultivation. V. bonairiensis is native to Brazil and Ar- gentina (the specifi c name is after Buenos Aires). They were fi rst grown as a garden ornamental in 1726 by Englishmen James & William Sherard, who got the seeds from a dried specimen sent back to England from Buenos Aires. This plant is perennial in zones 7 to11 and is grown as an annual in cooler climates. It is considered a weed in many mild climates, such as California, Texas, Australia and southern Africa, where it has naturalized. Verbena bonariensis is a tall, airy plant. Purpletop verbena is an upright, clump-form- ing plant with wiry, widely branched stems. It reaches a height of 3 to 6 feet and spreads 1 to 3 feet. Unlike many other tall herbaceous plants it is unlikely to tip over. The stiff stems and branches are square and rough, like sand paper. The deep green, lance-shaped serrat- ed leaves form a mounded rosette at the base of the plant, with few on the stems. The fl ow- ers are borne in rounded clusters 2 to 3 inches across.

    Identification of Milkweeds (Asclepias, Family Apocynaceae) in Texas Texas milkweed (Asclepias texana), courtesy Bill Carr Compiled by Jason Singhurst and Ben Hutchins [email protected] [email protected] Texas Parks and Wildlife Department Austin, Texas and Walter C. Holmes [email protected] Department of Biology Baylor University Waco, Texas Identification of Milkweeds (Asclepias, Family Apocynaceae) in Texas Created in partnership with the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center Design and layout by Elishea Smith Compiled by Jason Singhurst and Ben Hutchins [email protected] [email protected] Texas Parks and Wildlife Department Austin, Texas and Walter C. Holmes [email protected] Department of Biology Baylor University Waco, Texas Introduction This document has been produced to serve as a quick guide to the identification of milkweeds (Asclepias spp.) in Texas. For the species listed in Table 1 below, basic information such as range (in this case county distribution), habitat, and key identification characteristics accompany a photograph of each species. This information comes from a variety of sources that includes the Manual of the Vascular Flora of Texas, Biota of North America Project, knowledge of the authors, and various other publications (cited in the text). All photographs are used with permission and are fully credited to the copyright holder and/or originator. Other items, but in particular scientific publications, traditionally do not require permissions, but only citations to the author(s) if used for scientific and/or nonprofit purposes. Names, both common and scientific, follow those in USDA NRCS (2015). When identifying milkweeds in the field, attention should be focused on the distinguishing characteristics listed for each species.

    “Between the Creeks” Gwen Pettit This is a compilation of weekly newspaper columns on local history written by Gwen Pettit during 1986-1992 for the Allen Leader and the Allen American in Allen, Texas. Most of these articles were initially written and published, then run again later with changes and additions made. I compiled these articles from the Allen American on microfilm at the Allen Public Library and from the Allen Leader newspapers provided by Mike Williams. Then, I typed them into the computer and indexed them in 2006-07. Lois Curtis and then Rick Mann, Managing Editor of the Allen American gave permission for them to be reprinted on April 30, 2007, [email protected]. Please, contact me to obtain a free copy on a CD. I have given a copy of this to the Allen Public Library, the Harrington Library in Plano, the McKinney Library, the Allen Independent School District and the Lovejoy School District. Tom Keener of the Allen Heritage Guild has better copies of all these photographs and is currently working on an Allen history book. Keener offices at the Allen Public Library. Gwen was a longtime Allen resident with an avid interest in this area’s history. Some of her sources were: Pioneering in North Texas by Capt. Roy and Helen Hall, The History of Collin County by Stambaugh & Stambaugh, The Brown Papers by George Pearis Brown, The Peters Colony of Texas by Seymour V. Conner, Collin County census & tax records and verbal history from local long-time residents of the county. She does not document all of her sources.

Nov. Gen is a species of flowering perennial shrub belonging to family Tecomaceae, and is native to South America. Tecoma stans is Available online on medicinally important since different plant parts have nephrotoxic, antifungal and http://www.ijlsci.in antibacterial properties. The flowers arise in condensed raceme with bright yellow colour flowers. Each ovary contains many ovules. The fruit are elongated and ISSN: 2320-964X (Online) compressed with about 11-20 cm, with two sections each containing about 10-20 seed ISSN: 2320-7817 (Print) in each locule. Seeds are non endospermic, with seed coat showing papery appearance. The structure of embryo is very distinct. In most of the angiosperms, the two cotyledons are mostly folded, and thus prevent the exposure of the growing tips to Editor: Dr. Arvind Chavhan outer environmental conditions. However in Tecoma stans it is found that the two cotyledons are unfolded, which leads to exposure of the plumule and the radical. The shape of the embryo seems to be very characteristic, adapting itself to be dispersed at longer distances. The embryo also seems to have evolved in order to orient itself Cite this article as: according to the shape of the seed for longer distance dispersal.
