Friends of the Arboretum Native Plant Sale Allium stellatum- Prairie Onion COMMON NAME: Prairie Onion, Autumn Onion, Pink Wild Onion, Prairie Wild Onion, Glade Onion, Cliff Onion, Ladies Leek. SCIENTIFIC NAME: Allium is from Latin for garlic. Stellatum means star shaped. FLOWER: 1½ to 2 inch round globe of ¼ inch flowers, pale pink to pinkish purple with spot of yellow in the center. Bloom is held upright on the stalk BLOOMING PERIOD: Blooms during July to August. SIZE: 8 to 18 inches BEHAVIOR: The flowers develop seeds and the bulbs multiply. SITE REQUIREMENTS: Thrives in dry, open sandy or limestone rocky prairie in full to partial sun. NATURAL RANGE: In Wisconsin it has been found in the far northwestern counties, and in Wood, Waushara, Dane and Rock counties. SPECIAL FEATURES: It is deer resistant. It is ideal for rock gardens. Bulbs and leaves may be eaten in small amounts. Low toxicity warning due to presence of sulfides. SUGGESTED CARE: Prepare the soil in early spring, add mulch and a handful of bone meal. Plant at least 4 inches deep, but not more than 8 inches. The seeds take several years to form bulbs and bloom so bulb division is the best way to propagate. The onion will decline in competition with taller more aggressive plants. Prefers moist well drained soil. Easy care. COMPANION PLANTS: Purple Coneflower, Prairie Dropseed, Side Oats Grama, Rattlesnake Master. NOTE: Similar to Nodding Wild Onion (Allium cernuum) whose flower hangs downward instead of upward. .

Comparative Dissection of Three Giant Genomes: Allium Cepa, Allium Sativum, and Allium Ursinum

Box 39A, 950 07 Nitra, Slovakia. Received: 4 January 2019; Accepted: 2 February 2019; Published: 9 February 2019 Abstract: Knowledge of the fascinating world of DNA repeats is continuously being enriched by newly identiﬁed elements and their hypothetical or well-established biological relevance. Genomic approaches can be used for comparative studies of major repeats in any group of genomes, regardless of their size and complexity. Such studies are particularly fruitful in large genomes, and useful mainly in crop plants where they provide a rich source of molecular markers or information on indispensable genomic components (e.g., telomeres, centromeres, or ribosomal RNA genes). Surprisingly, in Allium species, a comprehensive comparative study of repeats is lacking. Here we provide such a study of two economically important species, Allium cepa (onion), and A. sativum (garlic), and their distantly related A.

7th February 2015 Welcome to my new seed trade list for 2014-15. 12, 13 and 14 in brackets indicates the harvesting year for the seed. Concerning seed quantity: as I don't have many plants of each species, seed quantity is limited in most cases. Therefore, for some species you may only get a few seeds. Many species are harvested in my garden. Others are surplus from trade and purchase. OUT: Means out of stock. Sometimes I sell surplus seed (if time allows), although this is unlikely this season. NB! Cultivars do not always come true. I offer them anyway, but no guarantees to what you will get! Botanical Name (year of harvest) NB!

Class Monocotyledonae
ACORUS/ACORACEAE 1077 CLASS MONOCOTYLEDONAE Plants usually herbaceous—in other words, lacking regular secondary thickening (except Palmaceae, Smilacaceae, most Agavaceae, and a few Poaceae); seedlings usually with 1 seed leaf or cotyledon; stems or branches elongating by apical growth and also by growth of basal por- tion of internodes; leaves when present alternate, whorled, basal, or rarely opposite, elongating by basal growth (readily seen on spring-flowering bulbs whose leaf-tips have been frozen back); leaf blades usually with parallel or concentrically curved veins, these unbranched or with inconspicuous, short, transverse connectives (leaves net-veined or with prominent midrib and spreading side-veins parallel with each other in Alismataceae, Araceae, Smilacaceae, Marantaceae, and some Orchidaceae); perianth with dissimilar inner and outer whorls (petals and sepals), or all parts about alike (tepals), the parianth parts separate or united, commonly in 3s, less often in 2s, rarely in 5s, or perianth of scales or bristles, or entirely absent. AWorldwide, the Monocotyledonae is a group composed of ca. 55,800 species in 2,652 genera arranged in 84 families (Mabberley 1997); 25 of these families occur in nc TX. The monocots appear to be a well-supported monophyletic group derived from within the monosulcate Magnoliidae group of dicots (Chase et al. 1993; Duvall et al. 1993; Qiu et al. 1993). From the cla- distic standpoint, the dicots are therefore paraphyletic and thus inappropriate for formal recog- nition (see explantion and Fig. 41 in Apendix 6). Within the monocots, Acorus appears to be the sister group to all other monocots, with the Alismataceae (and Potamogeton) being the next most basal group (Duvall et al.

Nodding Wild Onion Allium Cernuum Roth
Nodding wild onion Allium cernuum Roth Group: Monocot Family: Liliaceae (lily) Growth Habit: Forb/herb Duration: Perennial U.S. Nativity: Native, much of U.S. Natural Enemies Attracted: Small numbers of Orius insidiosus, Thomisidae, Plagiognathus politus, Salticidae, Chalcidoidea, Nabidae and Coccinellidae. Pests Attracted: Small numbers of lygus bug, leaf beetles, thrips and aphids. Bees attracted: Moderate numbers (between 1-5 bees per meter square in a 30 second sample) of bees including sweat bees and bumble bees; also highly attractive to honey bees. Species Notes: Pale pink flower clusters about 2 inches wide are borne at the end of nodding stalks about 2 feet tall. Plants remained small in stature in their third year of growth, leaves grew to about 6 inches tall. Plants bloomed throughout August. This species was one of the least attractive to natural enemies in the mid season, with similar numbers of natural enemies as in the grass control.
