  • Staghorn Fern - Platycerium Bifurcatum Platycerium Bifurcatum Is an Amazing Fern That Is Native to Eastern Australia
    Staghorn Fern - Platycerium bifurcatum Platycerium bifurcatum is an amazing fern that is native to eastern Australia. It is one of eighteen species in the Platycerium genus, all of whom share a very dramatic, sculptural style. At first glance, most observers would not recognize these plants as ferns at all, since they are anything but ferny! Instead, the fronds of these beautiful, silvery green stunners resemble the antlers of elk or deer, which is why they have earned the common name of Staghorn or Elkhorn Fern. The resemblance is only heightened by the fact that they are epiphytes and grow outwards as if a large buck had left his rack hanging there. Platycerium bifurctum can easily be grown outdoors in subtropical gardens, but here in St. Louis we can imitate their native environment by mounting them on wooden plaques that can be brought indoors once the temperatures begin to cool. These plaques make striking decorations for a porch or patio. Learn how to craft your own on the next page. a few words on the anatomy of a staghorn • Staghorn ferns are epiphytes, clinging and growing vertically on tall trees or rock surfaces. They derive moisture and nutrients from the air and rain, supplemented by the plant debris that accumulates around their anchoring structures. • While the anchors for most epiphytes (such as orchids and bromeliads) are aerial roots or rhizomes, staghorn ferns add a covering layer of thick, spongy fronds that make a basket or inverted plate-like structure over the short, creeping rhizomes, providing a rooting media for the arching foliage fronds.

Microsorum 3 tohieaense can be distinguished from other French Polynesian Microsorum by the combination of sori that are distributed more or less in a single line between the costae and margins, apical pinna wider than lateral pinnae, and round rhizome scales with entire margins. Genetic evidence is also presented for the first time supporting the hybrid origin of Microsorum 3 maximum (Microsorum grossum 3 Microsorum punctatum), and possibly indicating a hybrid origin for the Hawaiian endemic Microsorum spectrum. The implications of hybridization for the taxonomy of microsoroid ferns are discussed, and a key to the microsoroid ferns of the Society Islands is provided.

  • Some Botanical Highlights in the Gardens at the Moment
    Some botanical highlights in the Gardens at the moment The numbers refer to the gardens as shown on your map. There is plenty of colour in the Garden this month but our flagship plants, which are at their very best, are the giant Echiums. You will notice them throughout the Garden but the best show is in the Mediterranean Garden (10). Our Echiums are endemic plants from Macronesia, the groups of islands in the north Atlantic off the coast of Europe and north Africa. Giant Echiums (Echium pinnianum) have impressive towering blue spires of flowers. They come from the Canary Islands where they grow in the native laurel forests and are endangered by habitat loss. There are many species of woody Echium on the Canaries, often confined to single islands or isolated mountain tops. At one time we grew many different species in the Garden but they have a tendency to hybridise with each other. The cold weather in March of this year killed off most of the tender species and we are left with a hybrid swarm of plants with flower colours varying from pale blue, bright blue, mauve and pink. Some are single stemmed and others form branched woody plants. This explains why, if you look closely, you will see a range of flower colour and growth form in the plants. Meanwhile, here are some other plants to look out for on your tour of the Garden. There is plenty of colour in the Garden at the moment. Just after passing through the Fig Pergola, if you turn right and walk to the commemorative seating area, you will find an unusual shrub in flower bearing yellow pom-pom flowers.

  • Platycerium Ferns Summer 2020 Platycerium Ferns Are Some of the Most Beautiful and Majestic Plants in Cultivation
    Platycerium Ferns Summer 2020 Platycerium ferns are some of the most beautiful and majestic plants in cultivation. Common names include “staghorn” or “elkhorn” ferns. The species are found world-wide, primarily in tropical conditions in Southeast Asia and Australia, across to Africa and Madagascar with oddly just one species from South America. Our imported modern hybrids offer growers even more choices. All are best grown on plaques to reach their full, glorious potential (and allow for portability), but can also be mounted directly on trees to create a real jungle look in the garden. Filtered light conditions like a canopy of a tree is the best except for the harder leafed variety, Plat. veitchii, which can take more light-and actually requires that to retain its silvery appearance. Many of the species go slightly dormant during the dry winter months, and can show some browning of the shields. Don’t panic, it is temporary. In the spring they will begin to show new growth activity and will really put on the growth as the warm and wetter summer months prevail. We grow these in our intermediate house and sell them to successful growers from the Pacific Coast to Florida and beyond. CUTURAL NOTES: For optimal growth, we use these terms in the descriptions on the following pages. • Tropical: Recommends a nighttime minimum of 60 °F. • Warm: Expect some damage if temps hit 40 °F at night. • Temperate: Can take 40 °F without damage and slightly colder if protected.

He gave a significant contribution to help H.R.Costa in his efforts towards elaborating a checklist of Timor’s ferns, which paved the way to the present article. Abstract: Aglaomorpha quercifolia (L.) Hovenkamp & S. Linds is an extensively used species in tradi- tional medicinal systems in several areas of the world due to some important medicinal properties such as antioxidant, antibacterial, analgesic, and anti-inflammatory activities. In East Timor, different parts of this fern are used either as remedies or as food. The ingestion of a broth made from its rhizome improves lactation, and young fronds of this fern are boiled and eaten with rice by the locals.

  • Fern Classification
    16 Fern classification ALAN R. SMITH, KATHLEEN M. PRYER, ERIC SCHUETTPELZ, PETRA KORALL, HARALD SCHNEIDER, AND PAUL G. WOLF 16.1 Introduction and historical summary / Over the past 70 years, many fern classifications, nearly all based on morphology, most explicitly or implicitly phylogenetic, have been proposed. The most complete and commonly used classifications, some intended primar• ily as herbarium (filing) schemes, are summarized in Table 16.1, and include: Christensen (1938), Copeland (1947), Holttum (1947, 1949), Nayar (1970), Bierhorst (1971), Crabbe et al. (1975), Pichi Sermolli (1977), Ching (1978), Tryon and Tryon (1982), Kramer (in Kubitzki, 1990), Hennipman (1996), and Stevenson and Loconte (1996). Other classifications or trees implying relationships, some with a regional focus, include Bower (1926), Ching (1940), Dickason (1946), Wagner (1969), Tagawa and Iwatsuki (1972), Holttum (1973), and Mickel (1974). Tryon (1952) and Pichi Sermolli (1973) reviewed and reproduced many of these and still earlier classifica• tions, and Pichi Sermolli (1970, 1981, 1982, 1986) also summarized information on family names of ferns. Smith (1996) provided a summary and discussion of recent classifications. With the advent of cladistic methods and molecular sequencing techniques, there has been an increased interest in classifications reflecting evolutionary relationships. Phylogenetic studies robustly support a basal dichotomy within vascular plants, separating the lycophytes (less than 1 % of extant vascular plants) from the euphyllophytes (Figure 16.l; Raubeson and Jansen, 1992, Kenrick and Crane, 1997; Pryer et al., 2001a, 2004a, 2004b; Qiu et al., 2006). Living euphyl• lophytes, in turn, comprise two major clades: spermatophytes (seed plants), which are in excess of 260 000 species (Thorne, 2002; Scotland and Wortley, Biology and Evolution of Ferns and Lycopliytes, ed.
