It is considered rare in Arkansas and Wyoming and is known Other common names: lead-plant, downy indigobush only from historical records in Montana and Ontario (NatureServe 2006). Family: Fabaceae (pea family); also known as the Leguminosae. State distribution: Of Michigan’s more than 50 occurrences of this prairie species, the vast majority of Synonym: Amorpha brachycarpa E.J. Palmer sites are concentrated in southwest Lower Michigan, with Kalamazoo, St. Joseph, and Cass counties alone Taxonomy: The Fabaceae is divided into three well accounting for more than 40 of these records. Single known and distinct subfamilies, the Mimosoideae, outlying occurrences have been documented in the Caesalpinioideae, and Papilionoideae, which are last two decades from prairie remnants in Oakland and frequently recognized at the rank of family (the Livingston counties in southeast Michigan. Mimosaceae, Caesalpiniaceae, and Papilionaceae or Fabaceae, respectively).

Systematic Treatment of Veronica L
eISSN: 2357-044X Taeckholmia 38 (2018): 168-183 Systematic treatment of Veronica L. Section Beccabunga (Hill) Dumort (Plantaginaceae) Faten Y. Ellmouni1, Mohamed A. Karam1, Refaat M. Ali1, Dirk C. Albach2 1Department of Botany, Faculty of Science, Fayoum University, 63514 Fayoum, Egypt. 2Institute of biology and environmental sciences, Carl von Ossietzky-University, 26111 Oldenburg, Germany. *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract Veronica species mostly occur in damp fresh water places and in the Mediterranean precipitation regime. Members of this genus grow at different altitudes from sea level to high alpine elevations. They show a high level of polymorphism and phenotypic plasticity in their responses to variations of the enviromental factors, a quality that allows them to occur over a wide range of conditions. A group with particular high levels of polymorphism is the group of aquatic Veronica L. species in V. sect. Beccabunga (Hill) Dumort. Here, we attempt to unravel some confusion in the taxonomic complexity in V. section Beccabunga. We recognize 20 taxa in V. sect. Beccabunga and explore the occurrence of V. section Beccabunga, mainly in the Mediterranean basin; especially in Egypt (Nile delta and Sinai), Turkey and Iran with each country containing 10 taxa, from a total of 20 taxa, and characterized by endemics, or near-endemic as Veronica anagalloides ssp. taeckholmiorum.The results confirmed that V. section Beccabunga is divided into three subsections Beccabunga, Anagallides and Peregrinae, which essentially can be differentiated by the absence or presence of apetiole. Keywords: Morphological key, systematic treatment, Veronica, V. section Beccabunga Introduction The tribe Veroniceae, formerly part of the genus include: life-form (subshrubby/perennial vs.

Botany for the Herbalist Common Plant Families 7Song, Director Northeast School of Botanical Medicine 7Song.Com
Botany for the Herbalist Common Plant Families 7Song, Director Northeast School of Botanical Medicine 7Song.com This handout describes common plant families in the US and Canada. Each family segment contains general characteristics of the family as well as some of the more commonly known species within. In some families such as the Liliaceae, the genera of the plants are still in transition and being placed in newly created families. In other families such as the Scrophulariaceae, some of the former genera have been placed into different already existing families. Within this handout they are generally kept in the older family grouping with the new family identified next to the genus. Field botany is the study of identifying plants and grouping them into categories based on shared anatomical characteristics. Much of this is based on their reproductive parts, especially their flowers. One of the most useful starting points to identify specific plants in the field is by knowing their plant families. Families are a useful category to understand, as plants within them may share obvious traits both botanical (anatomical similarities) and other qualities such as aromatics. As far as medicinal characteristics within a family, there are generally more exceptions to shared traits than similarities in uses. An example showing both sides this is the Apiaceae. This family includes many aromatic, flavorful plants such as Dill, Fennel, and Angelica but also Poison hemlock (Conium), a notoriously poisonous plant. Another example is the Liliaceae with edible foods such as garlic, onion and asparagus but also the toxic Veratrum and Lily-of-the-valley (Convallaria).

Lamiales – Synoptical Classification Vers

Bremer, P. Cantino, J. Chau, J. L. Clark, B. Drew, P. Garnock- Jones, S. Grose (Heydler), R. Harley, H.-D. Ihlenfeldt, B. Li, L. Lohmann, S. Mathews, L. McDade, K. Müller, E. Norman, N. O’Leary, B. Oxelman, J. Reveal, R. Scotland, J. Smith, D. Tank, E. Tripp, S. Wagstaff, E. Wallander, A. Weber, A. Wolfe, A. Wortley, N. Young, M. Zjhra, and many others [estimated 25 families, 1041 genera, and ca. 21,878 species in Lamiales] The goal of this project is to produce a working infraordinal classification of the Lamiales to genus with information on distribution and species richness. All recognized taxa will be clades; adherence to Linnaean ranks is optional. Synonymy is very incomplete (comprehensive synonymy is not a goal of the project, but could be incorporated). Although I anticipate producing a publishable version of this classification at a future date, my near- term goal is to produce a web-accessible version, which will be available to the public and which will be updated regularly through input from systematists familiar with taxa within the Lamiales. For further information on the project and to provide information for future versions, please contact R. Olmstead via email at [email protected], or by regular mail at: Department of Biology, Box 355325, University of Washington, Seattle WA 98195, USA.

These long-blooming, figwort family (Scrophulariaceae). There shades of blue are particularly coveted by easy-care perennials offer a range of plant are approximately 250 herbaceous gardeners. The small, five-petaled blossoms types with a distinct verticality prized by species of Veronica native to temperate feature a pair of conspicuously protruding gardeners. Throughout spring and summer regions of the Northern Hemisphere, stamens and may be loosely or densely their spiky flowers rise like sentinels in the found in such diverse habitats as clustered in vertical inflorescences in sunny garden. Whether at the front, middle, alpine meadows, grasslands, oak forests, leaf axils or at the tips of stems. While or back of the border, their slender wands and riverbanks. The taxonomy of Veronica commonly referred to as a spike, the enliven the garden with color and the busy- is currently under revision. Recent phylo- inflorescence is technically an indeterminate ness of butterflies and bees. Their popularity genetic studies have reclassified several raceme. Flowers open from the base has only increased in recent years due to woody genera such as Hebe and upward, which causes the main axis of the introduction of many hybrid cultivars with Parahebe, thus increasing the number of the raceme to elongate throughout the long new flower colors and improved plant forms.

It combines nicely with the dark green foliage with red tips. ‘Yellow Ribbons’ our 2019 availability from Darwin Perennials. In 2020 we will begin to trial another Rudbeckia with yellow flowers and intro looked great at every trial site I saw it in. Next year we will introduce a broad leaved form with yellow begin to license Rudbeckia x ‘Glitters like Gold’ in July and at the same time our 2008 intro Polemonium x foliage. Think ‘All Gold’ for full sun. Salvia nemorosa ‘Sixteen Candles’ PPAF has less branched upright flowers. ‘Heaven Scent’ will become our fifth Proven Winners perennial. The pink color flowers gets backed up by purple and violet calyxs and stems adding depth and contrast. Sedum Our top selling introductions were Rudbeckia x ‘American Gold Rush’, Allium x ‘Windy City’, Andropogon album ‘Nerds’ is a great groundcover and has interesting orange to russet red color in winter into spring. Sedum gerardii ‘Blackhawks’ and ‘Red October’, and Penstemon digitalis ‘Pocahontas’ which sold out for the sexangulare ‘Yellowstone’ PPAF is a more robust and bright improvement on ‘Golddigger’.
