    Pink sandverbena (Abronia umbellata var. breviflora) ENDANGERED Flowers (left), habit (center), and habitat (right) of pink sandverbena. Photos by ODA staff (left and center) and Thomas Kaye (right). If downloading images from this website, please credit the photographer. Family Nyctaginaceae Taxonomic notes Synonyms: Abronia umbellata ssp. breviflora, Abronia umbellata ssp. acutalata, Abronia umbellata var. acutalata, Abronia breviflora, Abronia acutalata The number of taxa included within the Abronia umbellata complex has varied with different treatments of the group. Based on genetic and morphometric studies of A. umbellata populations, we consider A. umbellata var. acutalata to be included within var. breviflora. Plant description Pink sandverbena can be either an annual or occasionally a short-lived perennial. It is a tap-rooted glandular-puberulent forb with few to several prostrate branches up to 1 m (-1.5) long. Leaf blades are fleshy, light green, oval to oblong-ovate with somewhat irregular margins, 2-6 cm long, with slender petioles about as long as the blades. Flowers are grouped in ball-like clusters of 8-20 (average 14-15) subtended by 5 (4) lanceolate involucral bracts, with clusters born at the ends of stalks growing out from the stems. Individual plants produce from one to thousands of flower clusters, depending on conditions. The perianth is glandular-puberulent, the perianth tube greenish or yellowish to pink and 0.6-0.8 cm long. The corolla limbs are pinkish-purple to deep reddish-magenta, 0.5-0.8 cm broad. Flowers have a yellowish-white eyespot 0.25-0.3 cm in diameter surrounding the throat.

  • Abronia Maritima Nutt. Ex S. Wats
    SPECIES Abronia maritima Nutt. ex S. Wats. Family: Nyctaginaceae; NRCS CODE: Gary A. Monroe @ USDA-NRCS PLANTS Database ABMA2 Order: Caryophyllales; Subclass: Caryophyllidae; Class: Magnoliopsida Subspecific taxa None. Synonyms None listed. Common name red sand verbena (CalFlora, USDA PLANTS), sticky sand verbena (CalFlora) Taxonomic relationships Abronia latifolia Eschsch. and A. umbellata Lam. are closely related species (Blancas 2001). Related taxa in region May co-occur with A. latifolia and A. umbellata where distributions overlap. All three occur between Point Arguello, Santa Barbara Co., to Morro Bay in San Luis Obispo Co. (Tilllett 1967). Other CNPS list 4.2, limited distribution. Endemic to California and Baja California. There has been concern that hybridization with the two more widespread, co-occurring species of Abronia together with rapid loss of its coastal dune habitat are making the plants vulnerable to extinction (Blancas 2001). Genetic and morphological studies by Blancas (2001) were consistent with there being a high rate of hybridization with A. umbellata within a few small populations.

Hernández, Mario Sousa and Helga Ochoterena Herbario Nacional de México, Departamento de Botánica, Instituto de Biología, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México. Apartado postal 70- 233, 04510 México D. F., Mexico. [email protected] Abstract. Trees or tree-like plants are defined here broadly as perennial, self-supporting plants with a total height of at least 5 m (without ascending leaves or inflorescences), and with one or several erect stems with a diameter of at least 10 cm. We continue our compilation of an updated list of all native Mexican tree species with the dicotyledonous families Asteraceae (36 species, 39% endemic), Leguminosae with its 3 subfamilies (449 species, 41% endemic), and Rubiaceae (134 species, 24% endemic). The tallest tree species reach 20 m in the Asteraceae, 70 m in the Leguminosae, and also 70 m in the Rubiaceae. The species-richest genus is Lonchocarpus with 67 tree species in Mexico. Three legume genera are endemic to Mexico (Conzattia, Hesperothamnus, and Heteroflorum). The appendix lists all species, including their original publication, references of taxonomic revisions, existence of subspecies or varieties, maximum height in Mexico, and endemism status. Key words: biodiversity, flora, tree definition. Resumen. Las plantas arbóreas o arborescentes se definen aquí en un sentido amplio como plantas perennes que se pueden sostener por sí solas, con una altura total de al menos 5 m (sin considerar hojas o inflorescencias ascendentes) y con uno o varios tallos erectos de un diámetro de al menos 10 cm.

  • Lake Havasu City Recommended Landscaping Plant List
    Lake Havasu City Recommended Landscaping Plant List Lake Havasu City Recommended Landscaping Plant List Disclaimer Lake Havasu City has revised the recommended landscaping plant list. This new list consists of plants that can be adapted to desert environments in the Southwestern United States. This list only contains water conscious species classified as having very low, low, and low-medium water use requirements. Species that are classified as having medium or higher water use requirements were not permitted on this list. Such water use classification is determined by the type of plant, its average size, and its water requirements compared to other plants. For example, a large tree may be classified as having low water use requirements if it requires a low amount of water compared to most other large trees. This list is not intended to restrict what plants residents choose to plant in their yards, and this list may include plant species that may not survive or prosper in certain desert microclimates such as those with lower elevations or higher temperatures. In addition, this list is not intended to be a list of the only plants allowed in the region, nor is it intended to be an exhaustive list of all desert-appropriate plants capable of surviving in the region. This list was created with the intention to help residents, businesses, and landscapers make informed decisions on which plants to landscape that are water conscious and appropriate for specific environmental conditions. Lake Havasu City does not require the use of any or all plants found on this list. List Characteristics This list is divided between trees, shrubs, groundcovers, vines, succulents and perennials.
