    Outline of Angiosperm Phylogeny

    Outline of angiosperm phylogeny: orders, families, and representative genera with emphasis on Oregon native plants Priscilla Spears December 2013 The following listing gives an introduction to the phylogenetic classification of the flowering plants that has emerged in recent decades, and which is based on nucleic acid sequences as well as morphological and developmental data. This listing emphasizes temperate families of the Northern Hemisphere and is meant as an overview with examples of Oregon native plants. It includes many exotic genera that are grown in Oregon as ornamentals plus other plants of interest worldwide. The genera that are Oregon natives are printed in a blue font. Genera that are exotics are shown in black, however genera in blue may also contain non-native species. Names separated by a slash are alternatives or else the nomenclature is in flux. When several genera have the same common name, the names are separated by commas. The order of the family names is from the linear listing of families in the APG III report.

Our work is focused both in the internal relationships among representatives of Omphalodes main subgroups (and including Omphalodes verna, the type species), and their relationships with other Cynoglosseae genera that have been related to the Omphalodes group. Our phylogenetic analysis of ITS and trnL-trnF molecular markers establish close relationships of the American Omphalodes with the genus Mimophytum, and also with Cynoglossum paniculatum and Myosotidium hortensia. The southwestern European annual Omphalodes species form a discrete group deserving taxonomic recognition. We describe two new genera to reduce the paraphyly in the genus Omphalodes, accommodating the European annual species in Iberodes and Cynoglossum paniculatum in Mapuchea. The pollen of the former taxon is described in detail for the first time.

Fort Collins, CO: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 44 p. Abstract Administered by the USDA Forest Service, the Kiowa and Rita Blanca National Grasslands occupy 230,000 acres of public land extending from northeastern New Mexico into the panhandles of Oklahoma and Texas. A mosaic of topographic features including canyons, plateaus, rolling grasslands and outcrops supports a diverse flora. Eight hundred twenty six (826) species of vascular plant species representing 81 plant families are known to occur on or near these public lands. This report includes a history of the area; ethnobotanical information; an introductory overview of the area including its climate, geology, vegetation, habitats, fauna, and ecological history; and a plant survey and information about the rare, poisonous, and exotic species from the area. A vascular plant checklist of 816 vascular plant taxa in the appendix includes scientific and common names, habitat types, and general distribution data for each species. This list is based on extensive plant collections and available herbarium collections. Authors Donald L.

The defects are restricted to the second whorl or lug. Glutaredoxins are oxidoreductases that oxidize or of the flower and independent of organ identity.

BACON Department of Biology The University of Texas at Arlington Arlington, Texas 76019 ABSTRACT Lemmonia has been maintained as a monotypic genus, despite the fact that it is morphologically in the genus very similar to several species of Nama. The major basis for this separation resides in the reportedly coalescent filament bases of Lemmonia as contrasted with the distinct filaments ofNama. Examination of corollas of Lemmonia with the scanning electron microscope has revealed that the filaments of the taxon are distinct. There is, then, no qualitative basis upon which to found Lemmonia, and the taxon is transferred to Nama. Key words: Hydrophyllaceae, Lemmonia, Nama. INTRODUCTION Lemmonia californica A. Gray is a small, prostrate, dichotomously branched annual distributed from Lake County, California, southward into southern Cal­ ifornia and northern Baja California. [Munz and Keck (1959) indicate the taxon also is to be found in Nevada.] Gray (1877) placed Lemmonia, along with Nama, Die natiirlichen exclusive of N. aretioides, maintained by Gray as the monotypic Conanthus, and Eriodictyon in his Nameae, but reckoned, as well, that it was somewhat related de Madagascar.

Hulley1 ǀ Patricia M. Tilney1 Sandy F. Van Vuuren2 A hitherto unidentified medicinal plant is here identified for the first time as Pteronia camphorata (L.) L., Guy P.P. Kamatou3 an aromatic shrub of the Asteraceae family endemic to the western and southern coastal region of South 1 Janneke M. Nortje1 Africa. The plant was described in this journal by Laidler in 1928 as ‘D/nhora buchu’, and is one of the Alvaro M. Viljoen3 important types of buchu used by the Nama people. We report the traditional medicinal uses among San Ben-Erik Van Wyk1 and Nama people, based on our interviews with rural participants. These include the treatment of colds, influenza, chest ailments and tuberculosis, as well as convulsions, haemorrhoids and inflammation of AFFILIATIONS: the neck. The major and minor chemical compounds of the essential oil that is produced by the plant are 1Department of Botany and Plant identified, together with the site of accumulation of this volatile oil within the leaf.
