Current anatomical research in Liliaceae, Amaryllidaceae and Iridaceae. Telopea 2(4): 425-452, Fig.1-An annotated bibliography is presented covering literature over the period 1968 to date. Recent research is described and areas of future work are discussed. INTRODUCTION In this article, the literature for the past twelve or so years is recorded on the anatomy of Liliaceae, AmarylIidaceae and Iridaceae and the smaller, related families, Alliaceae, Haemodoraceae, Hypoxidaceae, Ruscaceae, Smilacaceae and Trilliaceae. Subjects covered range from embryology, vegetative and floral anatomy to seed anatomy. A format is used in which references are arranged alphabetically, numbered and annotated, so that the reader can rapidly obtain an idea of the range and contents of papers on subjects of particular interest to him. The main research trends have been identified, classified, and check lists compiled for the major headings. Current systematic anatomy on the 'Anatomy of the Monocotyledons' series is reported. Comment is made on areas of research which might prove to be of future significance.

  • Rutgers Home Gardeners School: the Beauty of Bulbs
    The Beauty of Bulbs Bruce Crawford March 17, 2018 Director, Rutgers Gardens Rutgersgardens.rutgers.edu In general, ‘bulbs’, or more properly, geophytes are easy plants to grow, requiring full sun, good drainage and moderately fertile soils. Geophytes are defined as any non-woody plant with an underground storage organ. These storage organs contain carbohydrates, nutrients and water and allow the plant to endure extended periods of time that are not suitable for plant growth. Types of Geophytes include: Bulb – Swollen leaves or leaf stalks, attached at the bottom to a modified stem called a basal plant. The outer layers are modified leaves called scales. Scales contain necessary foods to sustain the bulb during dormancy and early growth. The outermost scales become dry and form a papery covering or tunic. At the center are developed, albeit embryonic flowers, leaves and stem(s). Roots develop from the basal plate. Examples are Tulipia (Tulip), Narcissus (Daffodil), and Allium (Flowering Onion). Corm – A swollen stem that is modified for food storage. Eyes or growing points develop on top of the corm. Roots develop from a basal plate on the bottom of the corm, similar to bulbs. The dried bases of the leaves from an outer layer, also called the tunic. Examples include Crocus and Erythronium (Dog Tooth Violet). Tuber – Also a modified stem, but it lacks a basal plate and a tunic. Roots, shoots and leaves grow from eyes. Examples are Cyclamen, Eranthis (Winter Aconite) and Anemone (Wind Flower). Tuberous Roots – These enlarged storage elements resemble tubers but are swollen roots, not stems. During active growth, they produce a fibrous root system for water and nutrient absorption.

  • Ornithogalum
    NATURALLY SPECIAL Naturalising flower bulbs and specialities for public green spaces! CONTENT Naturally Special! Naturalising bulbs is a specialism within the huge range of spring- flowering bulbs. Naturalising means that a flower bulb can not only sustain itself in the right place, but it can also propagate. There are increasingly more of these bulbs. From our own tests and from countless conversations with people in towns, parks and botanical gardens, we have at last drawn up a list of ‘naturalisers’. In combination with plenty of information about the best location, you can create sustainable planting with this selection. With the dramatic decline in the number of insects due to declining biodiversity, attention is fortunately being paid again to plants as providers of nectar and pollen. Our selection of naturalising bulbs can make a good contribution to this issue in early spring. I have a great passion for new ranges from our fellow breeders, and I had to include some of their lovely specialties in this catalogue. Special but readily available for our large customer base! Enjoy this catalogue full of naturalising bulbs & specialties for public green areas!

With the exception of a few of the grape hyacinths (Muscari) and squills (Scilla) most of the species in this group are uncommon in gardens, and yet when grown under the right conditions some can be of considerable garden value and interest. Amongst the many specialists on the WW WW WW Rock Garden Plant Trials Sub-committee, 4 5 6 the RHS is fortunate to have the bulb experts Brian Mathew and Chris Brickell, who enthusiastically supported the idea to conduct a trial of the smaller, hardy Hyacinthaceae. In addition to the desire to raise the profile of this interesting group of ‘little blue bulbs’, they considered that a comparative trial might shed light on some of the problems associated with the BM BM identification and naming of certain 7 8 9 species and forms of hardy Hyacinthaceae. The family Hyacinthaceae In the 1980s a botanical review of the large family Liliaceae resulted in the proposal that it should be split up into many smaller families, one of which was BM WW MS Hyacinthaceae.

  • The Following Is a Preliminary List of the Vascular Plants of New York City with Links to Observations, Specimens and Biological Interactions
    The following is a preliminary list of the vascular plants of New York City with links to observations, specimens and biological interactions. The list includes order; family; scientific name; common name: status in the New York City flora (native or non-native; extant (for natives), naturalized (for nonnatives), waif, historical or pending, frequency (rare, infrequent, frequent); and notes such as New York state legal protection or invasiveness. The coefficient of conservatism (CoC) value is listed for native species. This is a measure of the plant's fidelity to particular habitats, where 0 indicates no fidelity and 10 indicates a strong correlation with a narrow habitat range. The CoC values reported here were assigned by the New York Natural Heritage Program and the New York Flora Association. Lycopodiales Lycopodiaceae Dendrolycopodium obscurum (L.) A. Haines – Flat-Branched Tree-Clubmoss Native (CoC 5); Rare Observations Specimens Interactions Diphasiastrum digitatum (Dill. ex A. Braun) Holub – Southern Ground-Cedar Native (CoC 4); Rare Observations Specimens Interactions Huperzia lucidula (Michx.) Trevis. – Shining Firmoss Native (CoC 5); Historical - Last seen 1900 Observations Specimens Interactions Lycopodiella alopecuroides (L.) Cranfill – Foxtail Bog-Clubmoss Native (CoC 7); Historical - Last seen 1900 Observations Specimens Interactions Lycopodiella appressa (Chapm.) Cranfill – Appressed-Leaved Bog-Clubmoss, Swamp Bog-Clubmoss Native (CoC 7); Historical - Last seen 1941 Observations Specimens Interactions Lycopodiella inundata
