  • Open As a Single Document
    The Witch Hazel Family (Hamamelidaceae) by RICHARD E. WEAVER, JR. The Arnold Arboretum has claimed that there is a tree or shrub in bloom every month of the year on its grounds in Jamaica Plain, Mass. In many years this assertion is true, but only because of a single genus of plants, Hamamelis, the Witch Hazels. As December ar- rives, the last pale yellow flowers begin to fade on the Common Witch Hazel, H. virginiana, a native of the eastern United States. And with the New Year come the fragrant, bronzy flowers of the Vernal Witch Hazel, H. vernalis, closely followed by the bright and beautiful yellow blossoms of the Chinese species, H. mollis. The Witch Hazels belong to the Hamamelidaceae, a family of plants which are mostly neglected by the American horticultural public. Admittedly, the family is insignificant horticulturally com- pared with some others, for example, the Rose Family, as a result of the diversity and sheer number of its genera and species, and the Magnolia Family, because of the universal appeal of some of its members. But a high percentage of the species in the Hamamelida- ceae are first class ornamentals, possessing charm, beautiful and often fragrant flowers, unusual blooming times, and brilliant au- tumnal coloration. Most also are easy to grow if the soil is light and loamy, and they bloom reasonably well in partial shade. In addition, they are not bothered by any serious diseases or insect pests. This article will present a brief discussion of all of the genera which are hardy in the northern half of the United States.

  • Chalcone Glycoside in the Flowers of Six Corylopsis Species As Yellow Pigment
    J. Japan. Soc. Hort. Sci. 78 (4): 485–490. 2009. Available online at www.jstage.jst.go.jp/browse/jjshs1 JSHS © 2009 Chalcone Glycoside in the Flowers of Six Corylopsis Species as Yellow Pigment Tsukasa Iwashina1,2*, Tomoko Takemura2 and Tamaki Mishio2 1 Department of Botany, National Museum of Nature and Science, Amakubo, Tsukuba 305-0005, Japan 2 United Graduate School of Agricultural Science, Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology, Saiwai-cho, Fuchu 183-8509, Japan A chalcone glycoside was isolated from the flowers of six Corylopsis species, C. pauciflora, C. spicata, C. glabrescens, C. sinensis, C. gotoana, and C. coreana, and identified as chalcononaringenin 2'-O-glucoside by UV spectral survey, liquid chromatograph-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), acid hydrolysis, and characterization of its products, and direct thin layer chromatography (TLC) and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) comparison with an authentic sample. Five flavonol glycosides, which were accompanied with chalcone glycoside, were also isolated and identified as quercetin 3-O-rhamnoside, quercetin 3-O-glucoside, myricetin 3-O-rhamnoside, myricetin 3-O- glucoside, and kaempferol 3-O-rhamnoside in the same manner. Chalcone glycosides have been reported from various plant species, Dianthus, Coreopsis, Cosmos, Dahlia, and Bidens as yellow flower pigments. In this survey, it was shown for the first time that the yellow flower color of Corylopsis species is due to a chalcone glycoside, chalcononaringenin 2'-O-glucoside, but other flavonol glycosides hardly act as yellow pigments. Key Words: chalcone, chalcononaringenin 2'-O-glucoside, Corylopsis, Hamamelidaceae, yellow flower color. Hydroxyflavonols such as patuletin and quercetagetin Introduction also contribute to the yellow color of the flowers of The genus Corylopsis (Hamamelidaceae) is distrib- Centaurea ruthenica Lam.

April 2020 Erscheinungsjahr: 2020 3 4 Acknowledgements I thank Prof. Dr. Maximilian Weigend, supervisor, for his guidance and support, and for giving me the opportunity to study the holistic subject of floral functional integration and plant-animal interaction. I am grateful for the experience and for the research agendas he entrusted to me: Working with the extensive Living Collections of Bonn Botanical Gardens was an honour, and I have learned a lot. I thank Prof. Dr. Eberhard Fisher, for agreeing to be my second supervisor, his advice and our shared passion for the plant world. I would like to thank many people of the Nees Institute and Bonn Botanical Gardens who contributed to this work and who gave me good memories of my years of study: I thank Lisabeth Hoff, Tianjun Liu, Luisa Sophie Nicolin and Simon Brauwers for their contribution in collecting shares of the raw data together with me, and for being eager students – especially counting pollen and ovule numbers and measuring nectar reward was a test of patience sometimes, and we have counted and measured a lot … Thank you! Special thanks go to Gardeners of the Bonn Botanical Gardens, for their constant support throughout the years, their love for the plant world in general and their commitment and care for the Living Collection: Klaus Mahlberg (Streptocarpus), Birgit Emde (carnivorous plants), Klaus Bahr (Geraniales), Bernd Reinken and Klaus Michael Neumann.

  • Corylopsis (Winterhazel)
    FEATURED PLANT WINTERHAZEL John Frett WINTERHAZELS are a close relative of witch hazels and share their early flowering and typical yellow flower color. Plant heights vary from 4-5 feet for Buttercup Winterhazel and some of the compact cultivars, to 15 feet or more for Fragrant Win- terhazel.

  • Winter Flowering Shrubs
    Puget Sound Gardening Tip Sheet #10 Winter Flowering Shrubs Winter-flowering shrubs should be used far more often in our Puget Sound gardens. The combination of a temperate maritime climate and soils that are predominantly acid seems to be just right for many of these plants. Our gray, overcast winter weather can be brightened with a spot of color strategically placed in the garden. In addition, some of the most pleasantly scented plants bloom during this season, giving an added dimension to the winter garden. Such plants are particularly effective when used in garden areas that are close to walkways and entryways to the house. Check our local nurseries for some of the following shrubs. The best time to shop for them is during the winter when they are in flower. Viburnum x bodnantense is a medium to large deciduous shrub. After it drops its leaves in fall, it produces clusters of small, pink, fragrant flowers, often throughout the entire winter. The branches are excellent for cutting and forcing in the house. Mahonia x media ‘Charity’ is an exotic-looking relative of our native Oregon grape that can get 10 feet or more in height. Sprays of yellow flowers appear in late autumn and last into winter and will be visited by overwintering hummingbirds. Waxy black berries appear in summer and are favored by robins and other birds. Hamamelis mollis and H. x intermedia are the witch hazels. They are vase-shaped deciduous shrubs that can easily become a small tree. They produce an abundance of rich golden- or red-toned flowers in January and February.
