Plants of Interest All these diverse plants are united by their flower Miranda Stevenson mentioned that she had been structure. The flower is a composite flower head experimenting with growing various plants outdoors made up of lots of tiny flower heads or florets. and she had brought along some pictures of these These are of two types - disc florets, and ray florets plants. At the end of her garden she has a scree bed which look like petals. Some flowers only have disc which consists of soil and grit on top of an air raid florets and these are common for Senecio. Others shelter, and this was well drained and suitable for have a combination of disc and ray florets, for growing plants. The plants she had tried included example with daisy or sunflower. Others only have Yuccas, Agaves and a Dasylirion. ray florets – for example, dandelion. The composite flower head lead to the name Compositae, although We saw Yucca linearifolia in flower in 2016. The Asteraceae is the more current name these days. main crown had continued to grow after flowering, and a side crown has also appeared. Nolina Moving on to books, John showed us the “bible” - longifolia flowered this year and she wasn’t sure Gordon Rowley’s book titled Succulent Compositae . what it will do next, but it shouldn’t die after Gordon covered two genera - Senecio and Othonna - flowering. Agave montana is a plant she has been and did not distinguish any other genera. Kleinia is growing for a number of years. She covers it in sometimes considered a different genus from gauze during the winter months, using fleece is too Senecio, but the book Noteworthy Species of Kleinia humid. It was now ½ metre across. With tree by P Halliday notes just very minor differences in Yuccas, she also puts some gauze around those. the flower – this book contains some line drawings of the plants. Unfortunately modern DNA research Fascicularia bicolor is a bromeliad and we saw a has come up with a few new distinctions, so Kleinia picture of it in flower taken last year – it also has re-appeared as a good genus, along with other flowered this year. The centre of the plant becomes genera such as Curio and Caputia. The trend seems red when it flowers. It seems to be pretty hardy. to be to move all the succulent Senecios out to other With Fascicularia pitcarnifolia , she lost that, so genera, so perhaps in a few years, John might have now she keeps that in a pot which can be put out in nothing to talk about!

Senecios are very varied - some are winter growers, Plants of Agave americana were newly planted out some are summer growers and some will grow at for this year in a raised bed. They had grown very any time. John asked how many people grow “10 or well, and she will protect them with gauze over the more?” I’m not sure any hands went up.

Who knew then that we were only months away from a global pandemic that would disrupt everything we thought of as normal, and that the ensuing shutdown would cause such increased interest in gardening? This past year has been a rollercoaster ride for all of us in the nursery and landscape trades. The demand for plants so exceeded the supply that it caused major plant availability shortages, and then the freeze in Texas further exacerbated this situation. To ensure that our customers came first, we did not sell any plants out-of-state, and we continue to work hard to refill the empty spaces left in our field. In the chaos of the situation, we also decided not to produce a 2020 catalog, and this current catalog is coming out so late that we intend it to be a two-year edition. Some items listed may not be available until early next year, so we encourage customers to look to our website Primelist which is updated weekly to view our current availability. As in the past, we continue to grow the many tried-and-true favorite plants that have proven themselves in our warming mediterranean climate. We have also added 245 exciting new plants that are listed in the back of this catalog. With sincere appreciation to all our customers, it is our hope that 2021 and 2022 will be excellent years for horticulture!

Muell. (Asteraceae: Senecioneae) Ekaterina D. Malenkova, Lyudmila V. Ozerova, Ivan A. Schanzer & Alexander C. Timonin Summary: Analyses of ITS1-2 data from a comprehensive sample of African succulent species of Senecio and related genera reveals that Senecio tropaeolifolius, though closely related to S. oxyriifolius, should be treated as a separate species. According to our results, it may be one of the parental species to S. kleiniiformis, a widely cultivated ornamental of uncertain hybrid origin. Keywords: Asteraceae, Senecioneae, taxonomy, systematics, Senecio kleiniiformis, ITS1-2 Senecio tropaeolifolius MacOwan ex F. Muell. is a widely cultivated succulent ornamental (Brickell 2003) whose taxonomic rank has remained uncertain so far. Its similarity to S. oxyriifolius DC. was mentioned in its first description (Mueller 1867) and Rowley (1994, 2002) rendered it as a subspecies of the latter one. However, Jeffrey (1986, 1992) treated these allopatric (Fig. 1) taxa, S. tropaeolifolius and S. oxyriifolius, as two separate species in the section Peltati. According to their descriptions, these two species differ mainly in their growth form, the number of involucral bracts of the capitula, the number of florets in the capitula, the presence/absence of ray florets and bristles on cypselae. All these characters are rather variable amongSenecio L. s. latiss. and their taxonomic value is questionable. Molecular data drastically changed the understanding of taxonomy and phylogeny of Senecio and related genera (Pelser et al.

The 'main event' was a home-video showing the two day ascent of the 4114 m Tromen volcano in Neuquén province, northern Argentinian Patagonia [Figs.1, 2], which gives its name to the provincial nature reserve park there (Parque Provincial El Tromen). The protagonists had been the resident park rangers, and the 'theatre' was their office.

Their isolation has given rise to many endemic species and subspecies, of which the great views of Tenerife Blue Chaffinch in perfect light were a highlight for many. We marvelled over the flora, so different to that of mainland Europe, and enjoyed the various species of lizards, plus the butterflies and other invertebrates we encountered. The day on La Gomera was a delight, not least for the numbers of Cory’s Shearwaters, whales and dolphins, plus the White-faced Storm Petrels we encountered. Lovely weather with plenty of sunshine, comfortable accommodation, good food and great company all made for an excellent week. Day 1 Saturday 23rd February Fly to Tenerife South – La Chafiras – Road to Vilaflor Fifteen tour group members met with Andrew and Jessica at Gatwick’s North Terminal for the 6.50am Easyjet flight to Tenerife South Airport. After a bit of a delay due to fog at Gatwick, we landed on the island at around 12.15pm, meeting up with our last group member, who had arrived on the island the previous day.

Botanic Garden, Howrah – 711 103, India *Author for correspondence: [email protected] Abstract Kleinia subrahmanianii, a new species of Asteraceae from southern Western Ghats is described and illustrated. Kleinia subrahmanianii is allied to Kleinia grandiflora but differs in having green, terete branchlets, elliptic–oblong to linear–lanceolate non-glaucous leaves, 30–95 cm long dark–purplish scape, 7–22 drooping capitula per scape, 16–20 mm long dark–purple phyllaries, 1.3–1.7 cm long corolla tube, 2.3– 3 mm long corolla lobes, 2.5–3 mm long anthers and short pappus. Introduction The genus Kleinia Mill. belongs to the tribe Senecioneae of the family Asteraceae with about 50 species distributed in south tropical and North Africa, the Canary Islands, Madagascar, the Arabian Peninsula, Sri Lanka and peninsular India (Vanijajiva et al. 2014). The Gynuroid group of subtribe Senecioninae including Kleinia is characterized by the presence of prominent drusciform crystals in the ovary wall, always discoid capitula and a mostly succulent habit (Jeffrey 1979).

If you wish to be a vendor, you will have the opportunity to sign up at the August meeting. The Fresno Fair is on the horizon, October 2-14. You can pick up a premium book at the Fair office, 1121 S.
