Stylophorum Diphyllum – Wood Poppy Friends of the Arboretum Native Plant Sale Stylophorum diphyllum – Wood Poppy COMMON NAME: Wood Poppy, Celandine Poppy SCIENTIFIC NAME: Stylophorum diphyllum – with stylo from Greek for pillar, phorum meaning to bear, and diphyllum for two leaves. FLOWER: yellow BLOOMING PERIOD: April to June SIZE: 12 to 18 inches BEHAVIOR: Showy plant for woodlands. With constant moisture the leaves remain green through summer. In a dry spell the plant goes dormant, but moisture again in late summer or early fall will revive the plant and it may even bloom again. The plant seeds readily and spreads to form colonies. SITE REQUIREMENTS: Needs partial to full shade. Tolerant of a variety of growing conditions, but does best in moist, rich, well-drained soil. NATURAL RANGE: Eastern North America. SPECIAL FEATURES: Leaves are bright blue-green and deeply lobed with flowers 1 to 2 inches in diameter held above the leaves. The flowers have four petals and after blooming an oval seed capsule about 1 inch long forms. This is densely hairy and the leaves and stem are somewhat fuzzy. Stems contain a yellow juice that was used by Native Americans as a dye. SUGGESTED CARE: Wood poppy is helped by a mulch of chopped leaves in fall. Be careful that these plants do not crowd out other desirable species. This plant is rabbit and deer resistant! COMPANION PLANTS: woodland plants of the early spring, such as bloodroot, toothwort, mertensia, jack-in-the-pulpit, etc. SPECIAL NOTE: The true wood poppy can be confused with a non-native cultivar from nurseries. .

  • The Developmental and Genetic Bases of Apetaly in Bocconia Frutescens
    Arango‑Ocampo et al. EvoDevo (2016) 7:16 DOI 10.1186/s13227-016-0054-6 EvoDevo RESEARCH Open Access The developmental and genetic bases of apetaly in Bocconia frutescens (Chelidonieae: Papaveraceae) Cristina Arango‑Ocampo1, Favio González2, Juan Fernando Alzate3 and Natalia Pabón‑Mora1* Abstract Background: Bocconia and Macleaya are the only genera of the poppy family (Papaveraceae) lacking petals; how‑ ever, the developmental and genetic processes underlying such evolutionary shift have not yet been studied. Results: We studied floral development in two species of petal-less poppies Bocconia frutescens and Macleaya cordata as well as in the closely related petal-bearing Stylophorum diphyllum. We generated a floral transcriptome of B. frutescens to identify MADS-box ABCE floral organ identity genes expressed during early floral development. We performed phylogenetic analyses of these genes across Ranunculales as well as RT-PCR and qRT-PCR to assess loci- specific expression patterns. We found that petal-to-stamen homeosis in petal-less poppies occurs through distinct developmental pathways. Transcriptomic analyses of B. frutescens floral buds showed that homologs of all MADS-box genes are expressed except for the APETALA3-3 ortholog. Species-specific duplications of other ABCE genes inB. frute- scens have resulted in functional copies with expanded expression patterns than those predicted by the model. Conclusions: Petal loss in B. frutescens is likely associated with the lack of expression of AP3-3 and an expanded expression of AGAMOUS. The genetic basis of petal identity is conserved in Ranunculaceae and Papaveraceae although they have different number of AP3 paralogs and exhibit dissimilar floral groundplans.

He had discovered wood poppy (Stylophorum diphyllum) growing in a few isolated patches along the Thames River near his Gardening Tips home in Plover Mills. A few more discoveries were made close by over the next couple of years and then there were no more reports of this plant for almost a century. Rain Gardens When the Atlas of Rare Plants of Ontario (Argus et al., 1982-1987) was published, Stylophorum In Support of Native diphyllum was listed as "probably extirpated" in Ontario. However, that same year a population of about 700 plants was found in a woodland just outside London. This appeared to be the only stand Plants in the country, and the wood poppy was listed as endangered in Canada in 1993 by the Committee Native Plants to on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada. Still, it received no real protection. That fall some Know logging and filling was done at the wood poppy site which destroyed about 500 plants. In 1994 the Ontario Endangered Species Act came into effect and the wood poppy and its habitat were now protected. Since 1997 a recovery team has been working to understand more about the plant's ecology in order to ensure its survival.

Cardiocrinum giganteum Yes, I know it is monocarpic slug bait, but with a little effort and about six years you can build up a population of these stately beauties. Growing up to 8 ft tall and topped by huge,sweet-smelling, trumpet shaped flowers they brighten up the shade in June. All they ask for is a cool, moist but not soggy site, a layer of dried leaves in the winter and some protection from slugs when they are young. Our population started with a bag of seed of C. giganteum var yunnanense given to us by Liz Carter about 15 years ago. They germinated very well, and at about 2 years old I risked some of them in the garden. It was a mistake. They were eaten. However, at 3 years old they survived. (I think there is some mathematical relationship between rate of growth, stored energy and slug numbers that determines whether herbaceous plants will survive the onslaught. I think this also applies to aralia, ligularia, tricyrtis etc. ) At about 6 years old they started to flower. Whilst the flowering stem dies, if you root around the base you will find offsets of varying sizes. In my experience if these are about the size of a fat daffodil bulb they can be planted out straight away. If smaller, grow them on in pots for a year or so. We now have several patches in which at least 2 or 3 will flower every year, whilst the smaller ones grow on.

  • Large-Scale Propagation and Production of Native Woodland Perennials 313
    Large-Scale Propagation and Production of Native Woodland Perennials 313 Large-Scale Propagation and Production of Native Woodland Perennials© William Cullina New England Wild Flower Society, 180 Hemenway Rd, Framingham, Massachusetts, 01701 U.S.A. Email: [email protected] Native woodland perennials are a source of frustration for propagators, because is- sues concerning seed viability, extended germination times, and slow and seasonal growth of seedlings discourage large-scale propagation and production. However, with proper seed handling and pretreatments as well as a “liner” approach to pro- duction, I believe that large-scale production is possible and profitable. INTRODUCTION The demand for native plants grows greater every year. Access to improved culti- vars, increasing sophistication on the part of the gardening public, and increased interest from government and the commercial sector have all contributed to this phenomenon. Many species can be easily and quickly produced from cuttings or seed (i.e., Asteraceae, Scrophulariaceae, etc.), but others — especially the woodland wildflowers commonly known as spring ephemerals — have proved especially dif- ficult to accommodate in large-scale perennial production. Genera such asTrillium, Cypripedium, Polygonatum, and Hepatica, while outstanding garden subjects that command premium prices, have developed a reputation for recalcitrance that is only partly deserved. Woodland wildflowers and bulbs are still supplied primar- ily as bare root, wild-collected stock. Thankfully, this questionable practice is now looked down upon by most of the perennial industry and consumers alike. Although collected plants are extremely cheap, we have found through experience that consumers will pay premium prices for genuinely nursery-raised material if it is available as an alternative.

  • Estimating the Number of Undiscovered Rare Plant Occurrences in Southern Ontario
    Estimating the number of undiscovered rare plant occurrences in Southern Ontario By Elise S. Urness A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Biology Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2020, Elise S. Urness 1 ABSTRACT We often do not know the total number of extant populations of species of conservation concern. Species distribution models (SDMs) can be used to predict the probability of species’ occurrence. We tested the use of validated SDMs to estimate the number of occurrences of rare plant species across Southern Ontario. We built SDMs for six rare species using known occurrence records and then surveyed 282 new sites and used presence/absence records from these sites to predict probability of occurrence based on the SDM output. We summed these probabilities to estimate the number of occurrences on the landscape. We then used simulation exercises to estimate the likelihood that our sample size was large enough to make a confident estimate. Simulation results showed that the true number of extant occurrences can be overestimated with fewer than 1,000 SDM-directed survey sites. Therefore, our estimates may be overestimates of the true number of extant occurrences, and more surveys will be required to obtain more accurate estimates. This technique for estimating the number of remaining rare species occurrences will inform researchers and managers as they prioritize time and money towards decisions around species recovery and protection, and where to allocate additional survey effort. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost, I would like to thank God for giving me this amazing opportunity as well as providing me with the mental strength and emotional fortitude to reach the end.

    The Regulation of Ontogenetic Diversity in Papaveraceae Compound Leaf Development A thesis presented to the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Science Alastair R. Plant August 2013 © 2013 Alastair R. Plant. All Rights Reserved. 2 This thesis titled The Regulation of Ontogenetic Diversity in Papaveraceae Compound Leaf Development by ALASTAIR R PLANT has been approved for the Department of Environmental and Plant Biology and the College of Arts and Sciences by Stefan Gleissberg Assistant Professor of Environmental and Plant Biology Robert Frank Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT PLANT, ALASTAIR R., M.S., August 2013, Plant Biology The Regulation of Ontogenetic Diversity in Papaveraceae Compound Leaf Development Director of Thesis: Stefan Gleissberg The leaf is almost ubiquitous throughout land plants but due to its complex and flexible developmental program is highly morphologically variable between taxa. Description of the functions of regulatory genes key to leaf development in different evolutionary lineages allows the study of changes in developmental mechanisms through evolutionary time as a means for anatomical and morphological diversification. The roles of homologs of CINCINNATA-like TCP family genes, ARP genes, and Class I KNOX genes were investigated in two members of the Papaveraceae, a basal eudicot lineage positioned in between major angiosperm groups, by phylogenetic analysis, in situ hybridization, expression profiling by quantitative polymerase chain reaction, and virus- induced gene silencing in Eschscholzia californica and Cysticapnos vesicaria. Expression data were similar to those for homologous genes in core eudicot species, however, some gene functions found in core eudicots were not associated with basal eudicot homologs, and so have either been gained or lost from the ancestral state.
