He grew these in a polytunnel, with the aim of supplying seed from hand-pollinated flowers; not quite wild-collected but as near as one can get, consistent with obtaining a regular supply. Increasingly tempting seeds have been appearing in his lists in recent years, and some of us have been duly tempted. The sad news, of course, is the loss of an outstanding plantsman and his expertise. The good news is that the peony collection has been passed on to Tom Mitchell, known to some of us as an enthusiastic collector of species hellebores and supplier of their seed. Inevitably, there are prob- lems with identifying some of the plants, but it is reassuring that they will be in good hands. Tom has promised to write a note for our newsletter once the collection is established in its new home near Bath. From the Chair Kath Carey Dear Members, The New Year has started just like last year, with a prolonged freeze. I feared for the many plants I have in pots as they wait for replanting this coming autumn. Surprisingly there seem to have been very few losses. The red early shoots of the peonies are showing and the tree peony I lifted is budding. The lifting has had a good side effect. It was very lop-sided and now is starting to throw shoots on its bare side. So at the end of the day it will be a much better shape. The grafted cuttings from Jo Bennison’s workshop have fared well so far: see the article on the grafting day. Some of you may remember visiting Grappenhall Heys Walled Garden some two years ago. I have just been through an old planting list from a garden owned by the same family to get some idea as to what might have been planted year ago and amaz- ingly no peonies were listed. This has not deterred the Head Gardener accepting a tree peony (from Will Mc Lewin’s seed). He is working on the basis that the family were adventurous when they undertook the original plantings and so we should follow in their footsteps. The plant was transplanted last October and seems to have fared well over the winter. It was cut back by half so it will be next year before it really gets into flowering routine. It should ultimately do better there in a rather heavier soil that its previous position in a very sandy soil. Ness Botanic Gardens run a series of fortnightly lectures throughout the winter and among the lecturers this year was John Grimshaw of snowdrop fame. During the 2 15 Rates of growth in peonies John Hudson course of his talk he showed a picture of Paeonia mairei as a follow-on from snow- drops. It was not one I was familiar with but the young foliage and its short stature Many people have commented on how attractive herbaceous peonies are early in the really did look splendid. He did not rate the flowers however as they tend to fade to season, from the time their crimson shoots first appear above ground in late winter a washed out pink. to their gradual unfurling as spring advances. Eventually one is rewarded by the It is the time of year when I look at my peonies to see which are showing signs of sight of their freshly expanded leaves; these extremely variable in colour and form flower buds. With the cold winter they are all a little later than usual but it is the P x between different species. An aspect I have not seen discussed is the rate of growth Chameleon (from seed so it is anyone’s guess what it really is) that has buds just of the various species. As one would expect, the early-flowering forms such as P. beginning to swell. In another few weeks, the buds will break to reveal cherry-red single blooms. I love it when they emerge and I feel spring is really under way. mascula and P. mlokosewitschii start early and grow fast. ‘Judy’s White Peony’ is a real champion in this respect, as in many others. At the Spring equinox all these had big I hope many of you can make the journey to Waltham in June for our AGM, and I flower buds showing above the foliage.

What is perhaps more remarkable is the performance of P. anomala and its sub- After a really long, cold winter for many of us it will be interesting to see how the species P. veitchii. These flowered about a week before the lactifloras last year, but peonies fare this year.

China; and Beijing Key Laboratory of Ornamental Plants Germplasm Innovation and Molecular Breeding, National Engineering Research Center for Floriculture, Beijing, 100083, P.R. China ADDITIONAL INDEX WORDS. Paeonia ABSTRACT. The pollen morphology of 26 cultivars of herbaceous peony (Paeonia L.) was examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Pollen grains of the cultivars were mostly subprolate to perprolate, tricolporate, or ellipsoidal in equatorial view, but rounded-trifid in polar view. The poles of pollen grains were mainly flat when viewed in cross-section and only a few appeared to have a circular or arc shape. In addition, the surface of the pollen grains was psilate, and the muri were partly or fully protuberant with a reticulate surface sculpture. However, the shapes and sizes of pollen grains as well as surface ornamentation varied significantly among cultivars with different chromosome numbers. The pollen grains from diploid cultivars were regular and full, and the reticulation holes were evenly distributed, while most of the pollen grains from triploid cultivars were empty flat shells with some heteromorphic pollen whose surface ornamentation was mostly rugulate-reticulate exine. The pollen grains from tetraploid cultivars were the largest although pollen morphology and surface ornamentation differed between Athena and Cream Delight.

The Arboretum has not been immune from the difficulties caused by the pandemic. Reductions in staff hours, especially during the early days of the shutdown, caused the delay and rethinking of many planting and maintenance projects. The restriction of volunteer activities also has been acutely felt.

  • Comparative and Phylogenetic Analyses of the Chloroplast Genomes of Species of Paeoniaceae
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Comparative and phylogenetic analyses of the chloroplast genomes of species of Paeoniaceae Liwei Wu1,2, Liping Nie1,2, Qing Wang1,2, Zhichao Xu1,2, Yu Wang1, Chunnian He1, Jingyuan Song1,2 & Hui Yao1,2* Plants belonging to family Paeoniaceae are not only economically important ornamental plants but also medicinal plants used as an important source of traditional Chinese medicine. Owing to the complex network evolution and polyploidy evolution of this family, its systematics and taxonomy are controversial and require a detailed investigation. In this study, three complete chloroplast genomes of sect. Paeonia, one of the sections of Paeonia, were sequenced and then analysed together with 16 other published chloroplast genomes of Paeoniaceae species. The total lengths of the chloroplast genomes of these species were 152,153–154,405 bp. A total of 82–87 protein-coding genes, 31–40 tRNA genes and 8 rRNA genes were annotated. Bioinformatics analysis revealed 61–74 simple sequence repeats (SSRs) in the chloroplast genomes, most of which have A/T base preference. Codon usage analysis showed that A/U-ending codons were more positive than C/G-ending codons, and a slight bias in codon usage was observed in these species. A comparative analysis of these 19 species of Paeoniaceae was then conducted. Fourteen highly variable regions were selected for species relationship study. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the species of sect. Paeonia gathered in one branch and then divided into diferent small branches. P. lactifora, P. anomala, P. anomala subsp. veitchii and P. mairei clustered together. P. intermedia was related to P.
