Outline of Angiosperm Phylogeny
Outline of angiosperm phylogeny: orders, families, and representative genera with emphasis on Oregon native plants Priscilla Spears December 2013 The following listing gives an introduction to the phylogenetic classification of the flowering plants that has emerged in recent decades, and which is based on nucleic acid sequences as well as morphological and developmental data. This listing emphasizes temperate families of the Northern Hemisphere and is meant as an overview with examples of Oregon native plants. It includes many exotic genera that are grown in Oregon as ornamentals plus other plants of interest worldwide. The genera that are Oregon natives are printed in a blue font. Genera that are exotics are shown in black, however genera in blue may also contain non-native species. Names separated by a slash are alternatives or else the nomenclature is in flux. When several genera have the same common name, the names are separated by commas. The order of the family names is from the linear listing of families in the APG III report. For further information, see the references on the last page. Basal Angiosperms (ANITA grade) Amborellales Amborellaceae, sole family, the earliest branch of flowering plants, a shrub native to New Caledonia – Amborella Nymphaeales Hydatellaceae – aquatics from Australasia, previously classified as a grass Cabombaceae (water shield – Brasenia, fanwort – Cabomba) Nymphaeaceae (water lilies – Nymphaea; pond lilies – Nuphar) Austrobaileyales Schisandraceae (wild sarsaparilla, star vine – Schisandra; Japanese

SUMMARY Developmental constraints have been proposed different characteristics of microsporogenesis, only cell to interfere with natural selection in limiting the available wall formation appeared as constrained. We show that set of potential adaptations. Whereas this concept has constraints may also result from biases in the correlated long been debated on theoretical grounds, it has been occurrence of developmental steps (e.g., lack of successive investigated empirically only in a few studies. In this article, cytokinesis when wall formation is centripetal). We document we evaluate the importance of developmental constraints such biases and their potential outcomes, notably the during microsporogenesis (male meiosis in plants), with an establishment of intermediate stages, which allow emphasis on phylogenetic patterns in Asparagales.

These insights are developmental constraints were tested by character discussed with regard to potential selection on pollen reshuffling or by simulated distributions. Among the morphology.

The Xanthorrhoeaceae has the largest representation with 10 genera and 99 species. Most are endemic with a few species of Lomandra and Romnalda extending to neighbouring islands. The family includes the spectacular blackboys and grass-trees. The Iridaceae is largely represented by naturalised species with 52 of the 78 species being introduced. Many of the introductions are ornamentals and several have become serious weeds. Patersonia is the largest genus with all 17 species endemic. Some of these are cultivated as ornamentals. The Dioscoreaccae is a family of economic significance, particularly in the old world tropics where some species are cultivated or collected for their tubers and bulbils. In Australia there are 5 species, one of which is a recent introduction. The endemic and native species, commonly known as yams, are traditionally eaten by the Aborigines.

Spectacular, Rewarding Tritonias
Know and grow indigenous bulbs Spectacular, rewarding triton by Graham Duncan, Kirstenbosch From coastal roadsides of the south ern Cape to high altitude slopes of the Kwazulu-Natal Drakensberg, the mainly spring and summer-flower ing iridaceous genus Tritonia contains about twenty-seven species of decidu ous, cormous plants. They are encoun tered in all provinces of South Africa as well as in Lesotho and Swaziland, and their distribution extends northwards almost to the equator in Tanzania in Central East Africa. Tritonia was stud ied in detail by Dr Miriam P. de Vos in the early 1980s and her excellent final account of the genus appeared in the Flora of southern Africa, in 1999. The genus is concentrated in the south ern Cape and most of the species are adapted to winter rainfall conditions, flowering taking place mainly in spring and early summer. The summer-grow ers flower mainly from midsummer to autumn. They occur in greatly differing habitats, from arid rocky slopes of the southern Richtersveld to high rainfall parts of the northern Drakensberg. Flower shape varies from regular to strongly zygomorphic (see glossary on p. 134), with flower colour predominat ing in shades of orange. Two species (Tritonia crocata and T. squalida) are particularly showy in having curious translucent zones or 'windows' along the margins of their tepals. In a number of others, promi nent yellow, erect, peg-like protuber ances emerge from the lower tepals and are thought to function in reducing the space in the throat of the perianth, thus ensuring that the back of a visiting insect will brush against the anthers and stigma and ensure pollination, as in T.

ATG About the Garden Atgfactabout SHEET the Garden Fact Sheet No
ATG About the Garden ATGFACTAbout SHEET the Garden Fact Sheet No. 35 WARM CLIMATE BULBS by Julia Hancock It’s always amazing how something so dry, brown and hard as a bulb or corm can produce flowers as glorious as jonquils, ranunculus and snowflakes, and yet year after year they can be relied upon to create a wonderful spring display. Growing beautiful bulbs is one of the great joys of gardening, and they’re almost ridiculously easy to cultivate. WHAT CAN I PLANT? An enormous range of bulbs are now available in garden centres, supermarkets, nurseries and hardware stores with staff on hand to advise the best types to plant in your garden. But the most exciting way to buy bulbs is by mail order, and when a large parcel arrives packed with all sorts of goodies it feels like Christmas has come early. Buying bulbs this way usually offers a larger selection from which to choose, and they are often cheaper than those sold in retail outlets, especially if you are buying in bulk. THE BEST BULBS FOR WARM REGIONS ARE: Babiana: commonly known as the baboon flower, the value of this South African bulb lies in its vivid blue and purple flowers — colours not normally found in the spring garden. Chincherinchee: florists love these white flowers because they readily absorb dye and last for weeks in a vase. Freesias: these are worth growing for the perfume alone and because they make a great cut flower. Freesias come in yellow, mauve, pink, red, white and blue. The ‘Bergunden’ hybrids are an improved strain producing large, either single or double, blooms.
