  • Oxalis Violacea L. Violet Wood-Sorrel
    New England Plant Conservation Program Oxalis violacea L. Violet Wood-Sorrel Conservation and Research Plan for New England Prepared by: Thomas Mione Professor Central Connecticut State University For: New England Wild Flower Society 180 Hemenway Road Framingham, MA 01701 508/877-7630 e-mail: [email protected] • website: www.newfs.org Approved, Regional Advisory Council, December 2002 1 SUMMARY Violet Wood-Sorrel (Oxalis violacea L., Oxalidaceae) is a low-growing herbaceous, self-incompatible perennial that produces violet flowers in May, June and again in September. Reproduction is both sexual (with pollination mostly by bees), and asexual (by way of runners). The species is widely distributed in the United States but is rare in New England. Oxalis violacea is an obligate outcrosser: the species is distylous, meaning that there are two flower morphs (pin and thrum), with a given plant producing one morph, not both. Pin flowers are more common than thrum flowers. In New England, the habitat varies from dry to moist, and for populations to remain vigorous forest canopies must remain partially open. Succession, the growth of plants leading to shading, is a factor contributing to decline of O. violacea in New England, as are invasive species and habitat fragmentation. Fire benefits this species, in part by removing competitors. Human consumption of the leaves has been reported. Oxalis violacea has a Global Status Rank of G5, indicating that it is demonstrably widespread, abundant and secure. In Massachusetts, it is ranked as Threatened; five occurrences are current (in four towns among three counties) and 10 are historic. In Connecticut, it is listed as a species of Special Concern; 10 occurrences are current (in ten towns among six counties) and 19 are historic.

  • Central European Vegetation
    Plant Formations in the Central European BioProvince Peter Martin Rhind Central European Beech Woodlands Beech (Fagus sylvatica) woods form the natural climax over much of Central Europe where the soils are relatively dry and can extend well into the uplands in the more southern zones. In the north, however, around Sweden it is confined to the lowlands. Beech woodlands are often open with a poorly developed shrub layer, Characteristic ground layer species may include various helleborines such as Cephalanthera damasonium, C. longifolia and C. rubra and sedges such as Carex alba, whilst in others, grasses like Sesleria caerlea or Melica uniflora may predominate, but in some of the more acidic examples, Luzula luzuloides is likely to dominate. There are also a number of endemic ground layer species. For example, in Carpathian beech woods endemics such as Dentaria glandulosa (Brassicaceae), Symphytum cordata (Boraginaceae) and the fern Polystichum braunii (Dryopteridaceae) may be encountered. Fine examples of primeaval beech woods can be found in the limestone Alps of lower Austria including the famous ‘Rothwald’ on the southeastern slopes of Dürrentein near Lunz. These range in altitude from about 940-1480 m. Here the canopy is dominated by Fagus sylvatica together with Acer pseudoplatanus, Picea abies, Ulmus glabra, and on the more acidic soils by Abies alba. Typical shrubs include Daphne mezereum, Lonicera alpigena and Rubus hirtus. At ground level the herb layer is very rich supporting possibly up to a 100 species of vascular plants. Examples include Adenostyles alliariae, Asplenium viridis, Campanula scheuchzeri, Cardamine trifolia, Cicerbita alpina, Denteria enneaphyllos, Euphorbia amygdaloides, Galium austriacum, Homogyne alpina, Lycopodium annotinum, Mycelis muralis, Paris quadrifolia, Phyteuma spicata, Prenanthes purpurea, Senecio fuchsii, Valeriana tripteris, Veratrum album and the central European endemic Helliborus niger (Ranunculaceae).

  • Nutritional and Physiological Studies of Oxalis Regnellii
    NUTRITIONAL AND PHYSIOLOGICAL STUDIES OF OXALIS REGNELLII A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Chad Thomas Miller January 2011 © 2011 Chad Thomas Miller NUTRITIONAL AND PHYSIOLOGICAL STUDIES OF OXALIS REGNELLII Chad Miller, Ph. D. Cornell University 2011 Shamrock Plant (Oxalis regnellii) is an ornamental plant grown primarily for St. Patrick‘s Day. Interveinal chlorosis is a production problem and has been hypothesized to be caused by micronutrient deficiencies, either iron (Fe) or manganese (Mn) or virus. Several experiments were conducted testing these hypotheses. A virus screen was conducted and positive identification was found and plants were rouged. - + Oxalis plants were grown hydroponically on five NO3 -N:NH4 -N ratio - treatments. Increasing proportions of NO3 -N increased total leaf, root, flower, and bottom shoot biomasses. Other hydroponic studies were conducted removing Fe and Mn from nutrient solutions to characterize the respective deficiencies. Iron deficiency, characteristic interveinal chlorosis on newly developed leaves was observed as early as three weeks after removing Fe. Plants grown without Mn did not exhibit interveinal chlorosis, but were slightly less green than control plants grown in complete nutrient solutions. Iron deficiency was also induced in a greenhouse media, using dolomitic lime. Again, typical interveinal chlorosis and reduced plant growth was observed after two weeks. Tissue analysis confirmed the chlorosis was due to reduced Fe as opposed to limited N or Mn concentrations. Our data suggest Fe influences interveinal chlorosis more than Mn. Micronutrient chelate foliar and media applications were assessed as corrective measures for foliar chlorosis.

  • Growing Shamrocks
    Growing Shamrocks March 2011 by Jill Kotch St. Patrick's Day will be coming soon and, along with green beer, there will be shamrock plants. While converting the pagans, St. Patrick used the three-leaf clover (Trifolium repens) to illustrate the Holy Trinity, and it has become the traditional symbol for Ireland, and for good luck. The word shamrock comes from the Celtic word for clover, "seamrog." Today, the plants we buy to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day are actually another three-leaved plant called Oxalis. Oxalis and clover are often used interchangeably. In Victorian times, the shamrock became the symbol for Irish rebellion and independence from England. If a soldier wore one on his uniform it was punishable by death. The shamrock with tripartite leaves was also used in numerology, three being a sacred number. An upward direction of leaves was thought to predict bad weather. Actually, the leaves and flowers close up at night. Flower colors can be white, yellow and pink. Native to Mexico, Oxalis plants became very popular in Europe. There are now numerous varieties to choose from, and they all make great houseplants. You must remember that the leaves will start to get yellow and die back when blooming is done, and then the plant will go dormant and rest. Just put it into low light, and cut back on watering until it produces new growth. Repotting once a year will give the plant a nutritional boost and give you a chance to check the rhizomes for dividing when ready. Although it’s not hardy here, Oxalis can also be used in the garden as an annual.
