    . ARNOLDIA E I A publication of THE ARNOLD ARBORETUM OF HARVARD UNIVERSITY Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts 02130 VOLUME 28 APRIL 12, 1968 NUMBER 1 COUNTRY COUSINS the horticultural world, a continuous effort ~s bemg made to select the I"best" N trees and shrubs for ornamental use. In the process, many other plants are relegated to secondary status and then are often ignored by the hor- ticultural public. Later on, a few may show traits that were not obvious at first - and so bid for reconsideration. In other cases, one species has become en- trenched in horticultural usage-and for this reason alone continues to over- shadow later introductions. An occasional looking back through the lists of little-used plants can be expected to turn up a few that have been overshadowed by better-known relatives, but that have character of their own-and potential usefulness. Chionanthus retusus Chinese Fringetree Our native (southeastern U. S. ) fringetree (Chionanthus virginicus) is fairly well known, even though not widely used as a landscape plant in our area. Its oriental relative, Chionanthus retnsus, is even less used, probably because its flowers and inflorescences are smaller. But the overall effect of C. retusus in bloom is almost as spectacular as that of C. virginicus (Plate I). In addition, it can be grown with minimal pruning, while C. virginicus requires heavy pruning every few years to maintain good form. The largest specimen of C. retusus m the Arnold Arboretum is about 20 feet tall and resembles a miniature American elm in outline. This and its interesting furrowed bark keep this tree interesting during the winter months (Plates I and II).

  • This Is Working Copy of OROC Book V, Covering All Genera of Woody Plant Cultivar Registrations in Our System from OROC's Inception in 2015 to Present
    Editor's Note: this is working copy of OROC Book V, covering all genera of woody plant cultivar registrations in our system from OROC's inception in 2015 to present. In general, we are accepting cultivars from 2013 onward if they have not been published in a reference manual. This is a review copy for our subscribers and partners. It is not a finished, complete work. It is however a useful interim reference and is intended to assist authors and educators of all types to communicate new cultivar data. We also know that many curators, private collectors, growers, and breeders now use the OROC system to seek out and acquire new germplasm as well as measure the strengths of their own introductions. We estimate the finalized version will be published as such in late Spring 2017, after which another book number will be issued as the working copy. Version 5.0 February 2, 2017 Version 5.1 March 13, 2017 Copyright 2016. Laurence C. Hatch. All Rights Reserved. Please visit www.cultivar.org for more information on the OROC ("oh-rock") cutlivar registration project Authors may reuse with attribution all text but no images in this file for the purposes of promoting new cultivars. ' Please read OROC terms at cultivar.org before attempting use of this material. New cultivars since the separate publications of Book II and Book III are coded in red for more immediate detection and ease of reference. Modified descriptions are also marked in red. We have endeavored to produce as accurate and useful descriptions as possible based on all available information on these new and often very rare cultivars.

  • The Role of Chinese Plants in Hungarian Landscape Architecture
    The Role of Chinese Plants in Hungarian Landscape Architecture Laszlo Gerzson Corvinus University of Budapest, Department of Garden and Open Space Design [email protected] Abstract: Most outdoor plants in Hungarian horticulture are exotas mainly from Middle and East Asia and North America. The flora of China is diversified and has many species because the last glacial period did not reach China. The richness of the Chinese flora was known for Europeans by the missionaries and medics first in19th cectury. Later some bigger nurseries sent expeditions in China to collect new plants. Nowadays the Hungarian landscape architecture is impossible without Chinese plants. Keywords: China, Landscape architecture, Glacial period, Discovery. Introduction Most outdoor plants (trees, shrubs, annuals and perennials) in Hungarian horticulture are exotas, which feel good in our climate. In outdoor planting it is very important that plants feel good in their new environment or at least that they can tolerate it, which will depend on their original environment, i.e. the circumstances under which they were chosen. That is why many plants from Middle and East Asia and North America have an important part to play in the structure of Hungarian and European ornamentals. Speciality of the Chinese Flora The flora of China is diversified and has many species. The reason for this is that the lay of the country’s land varies. There are high mountains, ones over 4.000 meters, with alpine vegetation; highlands with forests; and lowlands lying near sea level. Especially in China, these different places are close to each other, so many kinds of plants occupy a relatively small area.

  • Non-Native Plants of Delaware
    NON-NATIVE PLANTS OF DELAWARE William A. McAvoy Species Conservation and Research Program Delaware Division of Fish and Wildlife Delaware Dept. of Natural Resources and Environmental Control 6180 Hay Point Landing Rd., Smyrna, DE 19977 [email protected] January 2021 This list consists of 720 species, subspecies and varieties (taxa) of non-native, vascular plants that occur in Delaware. The list includes 75 taxa that are invasive in Delaware, 72 that are invasive watchlist taxa, 134 that are non- indigenous, and 149 that are thought to be waifs in the state. This list is updated bi-annually as new data are collected and the ranks of species are assessed. The non-native flora of Delaware represents 45% of the state’s overall flora (there are 1613 native taxa). The list is arranged alphabetically by scientific name (nomenclature follows McAvoy, W.A. 2021. The Flora of Delaware Online Database. Delaware Division of Fish and Wildlife, Species Conservation and Research Program, Smyrna, Delaware). Life Form (e.g., fern, tree, shrub) and Duration (annual, perennial, biennial) are provided for each taxon listed. The purpose of this list is not regulatory; it is to serve only as a reference, advising those who have an interest in and concerns about non-native plants in Delaware. Invasive: A non-native species that causes environmental harm. Invasive species are very aggressive and can out- compete and displace native flora and fauna. Non-indigenous (identified with an asterisk *): A species native to North America, but not to Delaware that is now found growing in Delaware outside of its natural range.
