    International Rock Gardener ISSN 2053-7557 Number 59 The Scottish Rock Garden Club November 2014 ---International Rock Gardener--- November 2014 This month the IRG has articles on plant naming, trough planting and a charming oriental orchid. If you have a favourite plant genus you’d like to discuss, innovative ideas in cultivation, or some other idea about the world of plants and gardens that is important to you, you are most welcome to contact the IRG Team about it. You can make contact via [email protected] – we look forward to hearing from you.

Cover picture: Crocus vaclavii, photo by Jānis Rukšāns ---Plant Portrait--- Ponerorchis graminifolia text and photos by Grahame Ware, Canada This hardy to Zone 7/8 member of the Orchid family is native to S. Korea and Japan (Honshu, Shikoku and Kyushu). It was authored and named in 1852 by the German botanist Henrich Gustav Reichenbach (1824-1889). It has been officially classed in the past as Orchis as well as Gymnadenia. But ever since Maekawa in 1971 with the publication of his beautifully illustrated Wild Orchids of Japan in Colour, the name Ponerorchis has held sway and continues to do so to this day.

  • New Cytotype of Crocus Pallasii Sub Sp
    New Cytotype of Crocus pallasii sub sp. haussknechtii from West of Iran M. Sanei, H. Rahimyan Y.M. Agayev, S. Soheilivand Department of Agronomy Agricultural Biotechnology Research Institute University of Mazandaran. Seed and Plant Improvement Institute Sari Mahdasht Road Iran P.O. Box 31535-1897 Karaj Iran Keywords: aceto-iron-hematoxylin, chromosome, Crocus sativus, evolution, karyotype Abstract C. pallasii is one of the close relatives of C. sativus. A new cytotype of this species was discovered from west of Iran (Reno valley & Islamabad-e-Gharb). For karyotype studies, Lewitsky fixative and aceto-iron-hematoxylin stain were used. Karyotype of this cytotype with 2n=12 consists of one large pair of metacentric chromosomes with a satellite in the long arm, one pair of large submetacentrics, two pairs of smaller submetacentrics and two smallest pairs, which are metacentrics. This plant cytogenetically is very similar to C. pallasii subsp. turcicus (2n=12) and also C. pallasii subsp. haussknechtii with 2n=14 chromosomes. However C. p. subsp. haussknechtii with 16 chromosomes is considerably different from these two cytotypes. It seems that during evolution new cytotype with 2n=12 derived from C. p. subsp. haussknechtii with 2n=14. INTRODUCTION The Crocus sativus aggregate (Mathew, 1977) comprises C. niveus., C. sativus., C. cartwrightianus., C. hadriaticus., C. asumaniae., C. oreocreticus., C. thomasii., C. moabiticus, and C. pallasii. One member of the Crocus sativus aggregate is C. pallasii, that's the most widespread of the saffron group species. The area in which it occurs extends from Yugoslavia to Iran and from Crimea to south Jordan, and over this immense area it varies considerably, so much so that a number of the variants have been described as separate species (Mathew, 1982).

A total of 369 polymorphic AFLP bands were generated and scored as binary data. Genetic similarities were determined. Cluster analysis revealed 4 major groups among the 26 genotypes examined in this study. The nuclear DNA contents (2C) of the 26 Crocus specimens were found to range from 5.08 pg in C. asumaniae to 9.75 pg in C. sativus. Polymorphic information content (PIC) values were used to examine the capacity of the various primer pairs to amplify polymorphisms in the Crocus specimens.
