  • Ponytail Plant - ARID DOME
    8/25/2009 Ponytail Plant - ARID DOME The ponytail plant grows in the Arid Dome. It is sometimes wrongly called the ponytail palm, but it is more closely related to agave or yucca than palm trees. These related plants are native to Mexico. They used to be in the same botanical family, but recent reclassification has separated them into different families. The scientific name is Beaucarnea recurvata. The common name ponytail plant comes from the thick mop of long, straplike leaves that are in a cluster at the top of the plant. The tree keeps its leaves and replaces them only when they are removed by a storm or other injury. This plant is something like a camel because it can survive for long dry periods using the water that is stored in its swollen trunk. The bark of the swollen base of the plant looks very much like the rough skin of an elephant, so another common name for this plant is “elephant foot.” Ponytail plants can grow to 6 feet in a container, but grow to 30 feet outdoors. They grow very slowly. This makes them good house plants because they do not need a lot of care and do not outgrow their pots for a long time. Seeds and plants are available at many commercial websites, such as gflora.com which provided the image accompanying this article. Mature plants produce many, small, creamy-white flowers on long panicles. You can sometimes see them in bloom at the Domes. They may flower two or three times a year.

Abdel Kawy, Waly; Yehia M. Abdel Fattah and Ali A. Shoman Department of Horticulture, Faculty of Agriculture, Suez Canal University, Ismailia, Egypt. Received: 28/10/2018 Abstract: Ponytail palm (Beaucarnea recurvet Lem.; Family Asparagaceae) is one of the most important plants in the internal and external coordination. This work was carried out to study the effect of media type (MS, B5 and WPM) and Benzylaminopurine BAP at 0, 0.2, 0.4 and 0.6 mg/l during multiplication stage. The shoot tips were collected from in vitro seedlings cultured on MS medium without growth regulators. B5 medium supplemented with 0.4 mg/l (BAP) increased number of shoots (3.40 shoots/clump) and number of leaves (24) plant compared with other treatments. The B5 medium is preferable within mass production and featured commercial. The BAP Concentration 0.4 mg/l promotes shoots initiation and development with B5 medium more than MS and WPM.

  • Networks in a Large-Scale Phylogenetic Analysis: Reconstructing Evolutionary History of Asparagales (Lilianae) Based on Four Plastid Genes
    Networks in a Large-Scale Phylogenetic Analysis: Reconstructing Evolutionary History of Asparagales (Lilianae) Based on Four Plastid Genes Shichao Chen1., Dong-Kap Kim2., Mark W. Chase3, Joo-Hwan Kim4* 1 College of Life Science and Technology, Tongji University, Shanghai, China, 2 Division of Forest Resource Conservation, Korea National Arboretum, Pocheon, Gyeonggi- do, Korea, 3 Jodrell Laboratory, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Richmond, United Kingdom, 4 Department of Life Science, Gachon University, Seongnam, Gyeonggi-do, Korea Abstract Phylogenetic analysis aims to produce a bifurcating tree, which disregards conflicting signals and displays only those that are present in a large proportion of the data. However, any character (or tree) conflict in a dataset allows the exploration of support for various evolutionary hypotheses. Although data-display network approaches exist, biologists cannot easily and routinely use them to compute rooted phylogenetic networks on real datasets containing hundreds of taxa. Here, we constructed an original neighbour-net for a large dataset of Asparagales to highlight the aspects of the resulting network that will be important for interpreting phylogeny. The analyses were largely conducted with new data collected for the same loci as in previous studies, but from different species accessions and greater sampling in many cases than in published analyses. The network tree summarised the majority data pattern in the characters of plastid sequences before tree building, which largely confirmed the currently recognised phylogenetic relationships. Most conflicting signals are at the base of each group along the Asparagales backbone, which helps us to establish the expectancy and advance our understanding of some difficult taxa relationships and their phylogeny.

  • Planting a Dry Rock Garden in Miam1
    Succulents in Miam i-D ade: Planting a D ry Rock Garden John McLaughlin1 Introduction The aim of this publication is twofold: to promote the use of succulent and semi-succulent plants in Miami-Dade landscapes, and the construction of a modified rock garden (dry rock garden) as a means of achieving this goal. Plants that have evolved tactics for surviving in areas of low rainfall are collectively known as xerophytes. Succulents are probably the best known of such plants, all of them having in common tissues adapted to storing/conserving water (swollen stems, thickened roots, or fleshy and waxy/hairy leaves). Many succulent plants have evolved metabolic pathways that serve to reduce water loss. Whereas most plants release carbon dioxide (CO2) at night (produced as an end product of respiration), many succulents chemically ‘fix’ CO2 in the form of malic acid. During daylight this fixed CO2 is used to form carbohydrates through photosynthesis. This reduces the need for external (free) CO2, enabling the plant to close specialized pores (stomata) that control gas exchange. With the stomata closed water loss due to transpiration is greatly reduced. Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM), as this metabolic sequence is known, is not as productive as normal plant metabolism and is one reason many succulents are slow growing. Apart from cacti there are thirty to forty other plant families that contain succulents, with those of most horticultural interest being found in the Agavaceae, Asphodelaceae (= Aloacaeae), Apocynaceae (now including asclepids), Aizoaceae, Crassulaceae, Euphorbiaceae and scattered in other families such as the Passifloraceae, Pedaliaceae, Bromeliaceae and Liliaceae.

  • Beaucarnea Recurvata the Ponytail Palm Leo A
    Beaucarnea recurvata the Ponytail Palm Leo A. Martin January 2002 The common ponytail palm of houseplant fame makes a striking specimen plant for any landscape situation. It is also a very clean plant with no spines and can be useful around a pool. It is one of the few succulents that can withstand full sun in Phoenix. It also does well with partial shade. Beaucarnea has the potential to become huge—up to six feet in diameter at the base and up to 25 feet tall. Small plants should be protected from frost below 28 degrees F. There are several species of Beaucarnea and, in fact, the most recent issues of the British Cactus and Succulent Journal featured all the species of this genus. Flowers occur on mature plants and are spikes of small, creamy-white flowers. These plants are in the Nolinaceae family, which has recently been split out from the Agavaceae family. Beaucarnea recurvata is natuve to Mexico. Huge specimens can be viewed at the Huntington Botanical Garden in San Marino, California. Lotusland also has an interesting planting of them. They planted a lot of small plants close together so that as the plants are maturing, their bases are starting to overlap one another. It’s a very interesting effect creating a mini-forest of sizeable ponytail palms, some with bases touching or overlapping. If you have the space, I highly recommend this plant. Just remember to give it some room. Although it is not particularly fast growing, you want to think twice about planting close to a building or wall foundation.

College, Sector-10, Chandigarh, 160010, India. ABSTRACT: The importance of biodiversity planning in urban area is a small step to mitigate the biodiversity loss because of urbanization and deforestation. The sustainable urban communities can be created by designing the landscapes with diverse group of plants ranging from trees, medicinal plants and ornamental plants which not just provide healthy, pollution free environment but also provide with various ecosystem services like medicinal value, food and fruit supply, aesthetic value and educational services. This study aims at understanding the contribution of plants in providing ecosystem services to the people so that the readers have a sense of appreciation towards the healthy environment created by diverse group of plants growing in the college campus.
