    Technical Refereed Contribution Soil pH values at sites of terrestrial carnivorous plants in south-west Europe Lubomír Adamec • Institute of Botany of the Czech Academy of Sciences • Dukelská 135 • CZ-379 82 Trˇebonˇ • Czech Republic • [email protected] Keywords: Soil water pH, neutral soils, Pinguicula spp., Drosera intermedia, Drosophyllum lusitanicum. Abstract: Although the majority of terrestrial carnivorous plants grow in acidic soils at a pH of 3.5-5.5, there are many dozens of carnivorous species, mostly mountainous or rocky Pinguicula species, which grow preferen- tially or strictly in neutral or slightly alkaline soils at pHs between 7-8. Knowledge of an optimum soil pH value and an amplitude of this factor may be important not only for understanding the ecology of various species and their conservation, but also for successfully growing them. I report soil pH values at microsites of 15 terrestrial carnivorous plant species or subspecies in SW Europe. Introduction The majority of terrestrial carnivorous plants grow in wetlands such as peat bogs, fens, wet meadows, or wet clayish sands. The soils have usually low available mineral nutrient content (N, P, K, Ca, Mg), are hypoxic or anoxic and usually acidic (Juniper et al. 1989; Adamec 1997; Rice 2006). Unlike mineral nutritional character- istics of these soils, which have commonly been studied and related to carnivorous plant growth in the field or greenhouse experiments and which have also been published (for the review see Adamec 1997), relatively very little is known about the relationship between soil pH and growth of terrestrial carnivorous plants. Although some limited knowledge of soil pH at habitats of carnivorous plants or in typical substrates exist among botanists and growers (e.g., Roberts & Oosting 1958; Aldenius et al.

    Plant Archives Vol. 17 No. 2, 2017 pp. 948-954 ISSN 0972-5210 COMPARATIVE LM AND SEM STUDIES OF GLANDULAR TRICHOMES ON THE CALYX OF FLOWERS OF TWO SPECIES OF PLUMBAGO LINN. Smita S. Chaudhari and G. S.Chaudhari1 Department of Botany, Dr. A. G. D. Bendale Mahila Mahavidyalaya, Jalgaon (Maharashtra), India. 1P. G. Department of Botany, M. J. College, Jalgaon (Maharashtra), India. Abstract LM and SEM investigation of calyx of flowers of Plumbago zeylanica Linn. and Plumbago auriculata Lam. has shown two types of trichomes-glandular trichomes and unicellular trichomes. Basic structure of glandular trichomes in both taxa is same. Each trichome show multicellular stalk and head. The stalk penetrates the head. Heads of glandular trichomes in Plumbago zeylanica are colourless and translucent but in Plumbago auriculata colourless translucent as well as purple heads are noticed. In Plumbago zeylanica glandular trichomes have higher density, present throughout the length of calyx, distributed in random manner, oriented in different directions, show much more variation in lengths while in Plumbago auriculata glandular trichomes have lower density, present only in the upper part of calyx, arranged in linear fashion, tricomes in one line are oriented in the same direction, show less variation in lengths. EDAX analysis on the head of glandular trichomes of Plumbago zeylanica revealed only C, O, Mg, Al and Si but in Plumbago auriculata in addition to these elements Na, S, Cl, K, Ca, Ti, Fe were also found. Presence of glandular trichomes secreting mucilage (which is considered as adhesive trap for prey) supports the protocarnivorous nature of Plumbago. Key words : Plumbago zeylanica Linn., Plumbago auriculata Lam., glandular trichomes, LM, SEM.

  • Carnivorous Plants with Hybrid Trapping Strategies
    CARNIVOROUS PLANTS WITH HYBRID TRAPPING STRATEGIES BARRY RICE • P.O. Box 72741 • Davis, CA 95617 • USA • [email protected] Keywords: carnivory: Darlingtonia californica, Drosophyllum lusitanicum, Nepenthes ampullaria, N. inermis, Sarracenia psittacina. Recently I wrote a general book on carnivorous plants, and while creating that work I spent a great deal of time pondering some of the bigger issues within the phenomenon of carnivory in plants. One of the basic decisions I had to make was select what plants to include in my book. Even at the genus level, it is not at all trivial to produce a definitive list of all the carnivorous plants. Seventeen plant genera are commonly accused of being carnivorous, but not everyone agrees on their dietary classifications—arguments about the status of Roridula can result in fistfights!1 Recent discoveries within the indisputably carnivorous genera are adding to this quandary. Nepenthes lowii might function to capture excrement from birds (Clarke 1997), and Nepenthes ampullaria might be at least partly vegetarian in using its clusters of ground pitchers to capture the dead vegetable mate- rial that rains onto the forest floor (Moran et al. 2003). There is also research that suggests that the primary function of Utricularia purpurea bladders may be unrelated to carnivory (Richards 2001). Could it be that not all Drosera, Nepenthes, Sarracenia, or Utricularia are carnivorous? Meanwhile, should we take a closer look at Stylidium, Dipsacus, and others? What, really, are the carnivorous plants? Part of this problem comes from the very foundation of how we think of carnivorous plants. When drafting introductory papers or book chapters, we usually frequently oversimplify the strategies that carnivorous plants use to capture prey.

  • Droseraceae Gland and Germination Patterns Revisited: Support for Recent Molecular Phylogenetic Studies
    DROSERACEAE GLAND AND GERMINATION PATTERNS REVISITED: SUPPORT FOR RECENT MOLECULAR PHYLOGENETIC STUDIES JOHN G. CONRAN • Centre for Evolutionary Biology and Biodiversity • Environmental Biology • School of Earth and Environmental Sciences • Darling Building DP418 • The University of Adelaide • SA 5005 • Australia • [email protected] GUNTA JAUDZEMS • Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology • Monash University • Clayton • Vic. 3168 • Australia NEIL D. HALLAM • Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology • Monash University • Clayton • Vic. 3168 • Australia Keywords: Physiology: Aldrovanda, Dionaea, Drosera. Abstract Droseraceae germination and leaf gland and microgland character state patterns were re-exam- ined in the light of new molecular phylogenetic relationships. Phanerocotylar germination is basal in the family, with cryptocotylar germination having evolved at least twice; once in Aldrovanda, and again in Drosera within the Bryastrum/Ergaleium clade. Gland patterns also support major clades; with the Bryastrum clade taxa having marginal and Rorella-type glands whereas the terminal branch of the Drosera clade had marginal glands and most of the clade possessed biseriate type 3 glands. The gland and germination patterns are supported by growth habit features, suggesting that the family and the main clades within Drosera in particular have undergone major adaptive radiations for these charac- ters. Introduction Relationships between the genera and species of Droseraceae have been the subject of numerous studies, with a range of morphology-based systems produced, mainly using traditional characters such as habit, leaf-associated features and specialised propagation techniques (e.g. Planchon 1848; Diels 1906). Character evolution of traps has also been considered important in carnivorous plants (Juniper et al. 1989; Jobson & Albert 2002) and glandular patterns (Seine & Barthlott 1992, 1993; Länger et al.

  • Ovule and Seed Development in Droseraceae
    Acta Bot. Need. 38(3), September 1989, p. 295-311 Ovule and seed development in Droseraceae F.D. Boesewinkel Hugo de Vries Laboratorium, University of Amsterdam, Kruislaan 318,1098 SM Amsterdam SUMMARY A structural analysis ofovule and seed development in the fourgenera of the Droseraceae is given. The ovule primordia ofthe Droseraceaeare dizonate. The dermalin The ovules of integuments are origin. Dionaea, Aldrovandaand Drosera are characterized by nucellarelongation and strongly enlarged cells of the nucellarepidermis. This featureis lacking in Drosophyllum. The differences in the seed coat ofthe four generaare mainly due to variationsin the differentiationof the testa. Drosophyllum has an endotestalcrystal layer, Dionaeaand Aldrovandaare exotestal andexo-/endotestal respectively, whereas Drosera has a less complex testa. Contrary to the testa, the tegmenshows more correspondence. It consists of an endotegmic sclerotized orpigment layer and crushed in of the variable remaining outer tegmic layers. As a consequence, spite basic similar testa structure the seed coat structure is in the four genera. In Drosophyllum, Dionaeaand Drosera the sclerotic layers ofthe seed coat are not lignified. Although the seed dimensionsare different, the operculate seeds with starchy endosperm and smallembryo have a similar construction.
