  • Checklist of the Vascular Alien Flora of Catalonia (Northeastern Iberian Peninsula, Spain) Pere Aymerich1 & Llorenç Sáez2,3
    BOTANICAL CHECKLISTS Mediterranean Botany ISSNe 2603-9109 https://dx.doi.org/10.5209/mbot.63608 Checklist of the vascular alien flora of Catalonia (northeastern Iberian Peninsula, Spain) Pere Aymerich1 & Llorenç Sáez2,3 Received: 7 March 2019 / Accepted: 28 June 2019 / Published online: 7 November 2019 Abstract. This is an inventory of the vascular alien flora of Catalonia (northeastern Iberian Peninsula, Spain) updated to 2018, representing 1068 alien taxa in total. 554 (52.0%) out of them are casual and 514 (48.0%) are established. 87 taxa (8.1% of the total number and 16.8 % of those established) show an invasive behaviour. The geographic zone with more alien plants is the most anthropogenic maritime area. However, the differences among regions decrease when the degree of naturalization of taxa increases and the number of invaders is very similar in all sectors. Only 26.2% of the taxa are more or less abundant, while the rest are rare or they have vanished. The alien flora is represented by 115 families, 87 out of them include naturalised species. The most diverse genera are Opuntia (20 taxa), Amaranthus (18 taxa) and Solanum (15 taxa). Most of the alien plants have been introduced since the beginning of the twentieth century (70.7%), with a strong increase since 1970 (50.3% of the total number). Almost two thirds of alien taxa have their origin in Euro-Mediterranean area and America, while 24.6% come from other geographical areas. The taxa originated in cultivation represent 9.5%, whereas spontaneous hybrids only 1.2%. From the temporal point of view, the rate of Euro-Mediterranean taxa shows a progressive reduction parallel to an increase of those of other origins, which have reached 73.2% of introductions during the last 50 years.

  • Opuntia Farm in Syria by Fouad Shalghin
    Vol. 57, No. 3 May-June 2020 Opuntia Farm in Syria www.hcsstex.org by Fouad Shalghin 1 Vol. 57, No. 3 May-June 2020 From the editor Karla Halpaap-Wood I want to thank everybody who contributed to this issue of the KK, especially Chaden Yafi for her interesting article. My big thanks goes also to Irwin Lightstone from NTCSS for introducing me to Zoom meetings and being very helpful with practical advice. MEMBERSHIP KATHY FEWOX & JULY OLSON Due to coronavirus social distancing, both the March and April meetings at the Metropolitan Multi-Service Center had to be cancelled. So was everything fun we had planned for this part of the year. Big Bend field trip, open gardens, Spring Sale, potting party — all gone with the pandemic. However, as disappointed as we all were, it had to be done. Nobody wants to become ill, or cause someone else to get sick. On the bright side, the April membership meeting was held via Zoom. Twelve members took part. We did not have an official program but three plants of the month were presented, one from March when the meeting was cancelled and the two plants from April. Presentations were very nice and pictures and plants could be seen clearly. Sadly, two members of the club recently lost loved ones. David Van Langen’s father, Burk, passed away on April 28, only a few months after David’s mother’s death. After an eight-year-long illness, starting with cancer and most recently vascular dementia, Liliana Cracraft’s mother Maria Angelica Treviño (Keka) passed away on March 2.

  • Testing the Reliability of Standard and Complementary DNA Barcodes for the Monocot Subfamily Alooideae from South Africa Barnabas H
    337 ARTICLE Testing the reliability of standard and complementary DNA barcodes for the monocot subfamily Alooideae from South Africa Barnabas H. Daru, Michelle van der Bank, Abubakar Bello, and Kowiyou Yessoufou Abstract: Although a standard DNA barcode has been identified for plants, it does not always provide species-level specimen identifications for investigating important ecological questions. In this study, we assessed the species-level discriminatory power of standard (rbcLa + matK) and complementary barcodes (ITS1 and trnH-psbA) within the subfamily Alooideae (Asphodelaceae), a large and recent plant radiation, whose species are important in horticulture yet are threatened. Alooideae has its centre of endemism in southern Africa, with some outlier species occurring elsewhere in Africa and Madagascar. We sampled 360 specimens representing 235 species within all 11 genera of the subfamily. With three distance-based methods, all markers performed poorly for our combined data set, with the highest proportion of correct species-level specimen identifications (30%) found for ITS1. However, when performance was assessed across genera, the discriminatory power varied from 0% for all single markers and combinations in Gasteria to 63% in Haworthiopsis, again for ITS1, suggesting that DNA barcoding success may be related to the evolutionary history of the lineage considered. Although ITS1 could be a good barcode for Haworthiopsis, the generally poor performance of all markers suggests that Alooideae remains a challenge. As species boundaries within Alooideae remain controversial, we call for continued search for suitable markers or the use of genomics approaches to further explore species discrimina- tion in the group. Key words: Asphodelaceae, barcoding gap, barcode candidates, DNA barcoding, specimen identification.
