  • Oglethorpe Oak Pub 10-12
    Oglethorp Oak (Quercus oglethorpensis): A Last Gasp Dr. Kim D. Coder, Professor of Tree Biology & Health Care, Warnell School, UGA Oglethorpe oak (Quercus oglethorpensis) is a newcomer in the tree identification world. Origi- nally thought by botanists to be a Southern form of shingle oak (Quercus imbricaria), a more careful series of observations proved otherwise. Oglethorpe oak was identified along a quiet creek in 1940 by a brilliant plant taxonomist, Professor Wilbur Duncan. He named the tree after Oglethorpe County, Georgia where he had first identified the tree. The name honors British general James E. Oglethorpe (1696-1785), founder of the city of Savannah and the colony of Georgia. White Oak By Any Other Name Oglethorpe oak is a member of the beech family. Oglethorpe oak is in the white oak group of oaks, and was probably not recognized earlier because its bark closely resembles white and post oak, which also grow in the area. The typical tree of record was discovered along Buffalo Creek, 8 miles east of Lexington, GA in 1940. This oak is a rarity and is seldom seen partially because of its low population numbers and because of its isolated habitat. Seedlings in the wild are rare. Small to medium sized trees will produce stump sprouts if damaged. Oglethorpe oak is not listed or given any federal protection, but is a species which has been examined for federal protection. It was given a relative low priority compared with other species. It is listed by Georgia as “threatened” and by South Carolina as “rare.” By most definitions of protected species legislation, and associated administrative definitions, Oglethorpe oak is a species threatened with extinction in the foreseeable future.

    Article An Updated Infrageneric Classification of the North American Oaks (Quercus Subgenus Quercus): Review of the Contribution of Phylogenomic Data to Biogeography and Species Diversity Paul S. Manos 1,* and Andrew L. Hipp 2 1 Department of Biology, Duke University, 330 Bio Sci Bldg, Durham, NC 27708, USA 2 The Morton Arboretum, Center for Tree Science, 4100 Illinois 53, Lisle, IL 60532, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: The oak flora of North America north of Mexico is both phylogenetically diverse and species-rich, including 92 species placed in five sections of subgenus Quercus, the oak clade centered on the Americas. Despite phylogenetic and taxonomic progress on the genus over the past 45 years, classification of species at the subsectional level remains unchanged since the early treatments by WL Trelease, AA Camus, and CH Muller. In recent work, we used a RAD-seq based phylogeny including 250 species sampled from throughout the Americas and Eurasia to reconstruct the timing and biogeography of the North American oak radiation. This work demonstrates that the North American oak flora comprises mostly regional species radiations with limited phylogenetic affinities to Mexican clades, and two sister group connections to Eurasia. Using this framework, we describe the regional patterns of oak diversity within North America and formally classify 62 species into nine major North American subsections within sections Lobatae (the red oaks) and Quercus (the Citation: Manos, P.S.; Hipp, A.L. An Quercus Updated Infrageneric Classification white oaks), the two largest sections of subgenus . We also distill emerging evolutionary and of the North American Oaks (Quercus biogeographic patterns based on the impact of phylogenomic data on the systematics of multiple Subgenus Quercus): Review of the species complexes and instances of hybridization.

  • Ex-Situ Conservation of Quercus Oglethorpensis in Living Collections of Arboreta and Botanical Gardens1
    Proceedings of Workshop on Gene Conservation of Tree Species—Banking on the Future Ex-situ Conservation of Quercus oglethorpensis in Living Collections of Arboreta and Botanical Gardens1 Matthew S. Lobdell2 and Patrick G.Thompson3 Abstract Quercus oglethorpensis (Oglethorpe oak) is an endangered species native to the southeastern United States. It is threatened by land use changes, competition, and chestnut blight disease caused by Cryphonectria parasitica. The species is distributed sparsely over a linear distance of ca. 950 km. Its range includes several disjunct populations potentially harboring unique genetic diversity or adaptive variation. Protected populations in the Bienville National Forest (Mississippi), Oconee National Forest (Georgia), and Sumter National Forest (South Carolina) are regularly monitored and managed through a combination of techniques including burn management and selective clearing. Recently, several additional populations were discovered in Alabama, primarily along rights-of-way or on private land where they should be considered vulnerable or at risk of extirpation. One documented population in Sumter County, Alabama has already been lost to land clearing or logging activities. Traditional techniques such as seed banking are insufficient for ex-situ conservation of Q. oglethorpensis because it has recalcitrant seeds. It has been demonstrated, however, that the species is suitable for cultivation in much of the United States, allowing for the possibility of ex-situ conservation in the living collections of arboreta and botanical gardens. In 2015, through a joint venture between the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service and American Public Gardens Association, seed and/or samples of scion wood were collected from populations of Oglethorpe oak in Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina and propagated at The Morton Arboretum (Lisle, Illinois).
