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. For further information, see the references on the last page. Basal Angiosperms (ANITA grade) Amborellales Amborellaceae, sole family, the earliest branch of flowering plants, a shrub native to New Caledonia – Amborella Nymphaeales Hydatellaceae – aquatics from Australasia, previously classified as a grass Cabombaceae (water shield – Brasenia, fanwort – Cabomba) Nymphaeaceae (water lilies – Nymphaea; pond lilies – Nuphar) Austrobaileyales Schisandraceae (wild sarsaparilla, star vine – Schisandra; Japanese

Heraldic Terms
HERALDIC TERMS The following terms, and their definitions, are used in heraldry. Some terms and practices were used in period real-world heraldry only. Some terms and practices are used in modern real-world heraldry only. Other terms and practices are used in SCA heraldry only. Most are used in both real-world and SCA heraldry. All are presented here as an aid to heraldic research and education. A LA CUISSE, A LA QUISE - at the thigh ABAISED, ABAISSÉ, ABASED - a charge or element depicted lower than its normal position ABATEMENTS - marks of disgrace placed on the shield of an offender of the law. There are extreme few records of such being employed, and then only noted in rolls. (As who would display their device if it had an abatement on it?) ABISME - a minor charge in the center of the shield drawn smaller than usual ABOUTÉ - end to end ABOVE - an ambiguous term which should be avoided in blazon. Generally, two charges one of which is above the other on the field can be blazoned better as "in pale an X and a Y" or "an A and in chief a B". See atop, ensigned. ABYSS - a minor charge in the center of the shield drawn smaller than usual ACCOLLÉ - (1) two shields side-by-side, sometimes united by their bottom tips overlapping or being connected to each other by their sides; (2) an animal with a crown, collar or other item around its neck; (3) keys, weapons or other implements placed saltirewise behind the shield in a heraldic display.

Chamaemelum Nobile
Chamaemelum nobile Status Disc florets UK Biodiversity Action Plan Priority species. IUCN threat category: Vulnerable (2005). Ray florets Taxonomy Magnoliopsida: Asteraceae Scientific name: Chamaemelum nobile (L.) All. Receptacle Common names: Chamomile, Camri. Chamaemelum nobile (Anthemis nobilis L.) is one of the superficially similar group of plants often referred to as Mayweeds. Mayweeds usually have leaves divided into narrow segments and daisy-like heads with yellow disc florets in the centres and white ray florets outside (Figure 1). Chamaemelum nobile itself is not a variable species in the wild, though some populations are distinctive (Kay & John 1994) and there are many cultivars (the Leaves aromatic, latter rarely escape or persist in the wild). Once finely divided, known, it is easily recognised, but the distinctive and hairy well-known aroma of crushed leaves is similar to some Anthemis species. No hybrids are known. Biology & Distribution Rooting Chamaemelum nobile is predominantly recorded at nodes in SW and SE England and SW Ireland, and is Figure 1. Chamaemelum nobile (from J. E. Smith & J. Sowerby rare or extinct in Wales and central England. It is (1852). English Botany. London). occasionally introduced elsewhere (Preston et al. 2002). It is characteristic of seasonally-inundated turf, heathland, grassland, sports fields and grassy sea Key characters Procumbent, hairy, perennial herb rooting at the cliffs, especially where grazing or mowing keeps the nodes and often forming patches. Pleasantly aromatic vegetation short and open (Winship 1994). when rubbed. Leaves finely divided. Flowering Identification & Field survey heads 18-25 mm across, solitary, on long stalks. Ray florets white, spreading (rarely absent), disc florets It is easiest to identify Chamaemelum from other yellow.

One key to prevention, according to some, is to keep things simple or as natural as possible. But in nature or the wild, disease of the newborn often causes rates of loss that would be unprofitable for livestock producers. And while it might be wise to keep things natural or simple, the fact is, the situation has been made unnatural by putting up fences, crowding the animals, fixing the calving season, and giving the cattle no choice as to feed. A word of caution is in order. Subpar husbandry of the cattle usually cannot be overcome by anything that comes through a needle, News and a tube, or a balling gun! The damage can be minimized in some cases, but a full investigation should point to needed changes that lead to total prevention. Upcoming Events: Three factors are extremely important in determining whether a calf remains healthy, Thanks to all that survives a disease, or dies. Managers must recognize all these factors: attended Calving 1. The amount of immunity the calf receives from the dam via colostrum.

128 AÜTO-HERALD a Program for the Construction of Heraldic
- 128 AÜTO-HERALD A Program for the Construction of Heraldic Drawings By C.B.Bayliss M.Sc University of Birmingham Centre for Computing and Computer Science Abstract In this paper I shall describe the main features of a program which constructs heraldic drawings. A description of a coat of arms is entered by a user in conventional heraldic terminology. The coat of arms is then constructed from a library of stored objects and fields and drawn on a terminal. Facilities exist for updating the library, and a picture editor is provided to allow a user to define new objects and fields. Contents Introduction Describing a coat of arms Method of coat of arms construction . Picture editor Library Device dependence and program structure. Conclusion Illustrations Fig I - Diagrams showing method of coat of arms constr- uction Fig 2 - Overall structure of the program - 129 Introduction In heraldry there are many different coats of arms which use a variety of objects in different combinations and colours. A coat of arms consists of a field ( the background ), which can be a colour, metal, fur or pattern which may have one or more objects placed upon it. Such objects are refered to as "charges" in heraldic terminology. A field may be divided, for example by quartering it or halving it. Each part of the field may be a different colour or pattern. Coats of arms are normally displayed on a shield. Colouring used on a coat of arras is called a tincture. There are five commonly used colours:- vert (green) azure (blue), gules (red), sable (black) and purpure (purple).
