Also included are observations not found in earlier lists. The current checklist contains names from Fagerlund and Mitchell (1944) , Fagerlund (1947), Stone (1959), Doty and Mueller-Dambois (1966), and Fosberg (1975), as well as listings taken fram collections in the Research Herbarium of HAVO and from studies of specific areas in the Park. The current existence in the Park of many of the listed taxa has not been confirmed (particularly ornamentals and ruderals). Plants listed by previous authors were generally accepted and included even if their location in HAVO is unknown to the present authors. Exceptions are a few native species erroneously included on previous HAVO checklists, but now known to be based on collections from elsewhere on the Island. Other omissions on the current list are plant names considered by St. John (1973) to be synonyms of other listed taxa. The most recent comprehensive vascular plant list for HAVO was done in 1966 (Ihty and Mueller-Dombois 1966). In the 22 years since then, changes in the Park boundaries as well as growth in botanical knowledge of the area have necessitated an updated checklist.

  • Conservation of Begonia Germplasm Through Seeds: Characterization of Germination and Vigor in Different Species
    CONSERVATION OF BEGONIA GERMPLASM THROUGH SEEDS: CHARACTERIZATION OF GERMINATION AND VIGOR IN DIFFERENT SPECIES THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By: Steven Robert Haba, B.S. Graduate Program in Horticulture and Crop Science The Ohio State University 2015 Thesis Committee: Dr. Pablo Jourdan, Advisor Dr. Mark Bennett Dr. Claudio Pasian Dr. Mark Tebbitt Copyrighted by Steven Robert Haba 2015 ABSTRACT Begonia is one of the most speciose genera of angiosperms, with over 1500 species distributed throughout tropical and subtropical regions; it is also a very important ornamental group of plants displaying a high degree of morphological diversity. This genus is a priority for conservation and germplasm development at the Ornamental Plant Germplasm Center located at The Ohio State University, which currently holds approximately 200 accessions, maintained primarily as clonal plants. In an effort to expand germplasm work in seed storage of Begonia, and in response to a scarcity of published information about begonia seed biology we initiated a project to develop baseline information about germination, dormancy, and stress tolerance of begonia seeds. Because of the extremely small size of begonia seeds (ca. 200 µm) I adapted germination and viability testing protocols typical of Arabidopsis research, to develop relatively efficient quantitative protocols for seed studies. Using this methodology seeds can be routinely germinated on 1% agar plates at 25°C and 16 hours light. To examine the variation in seed characteristics among Begonia accessions in the collection, I selected six species from diverse environments and from different sections of the genus for which we had abundant seed and compared their germination patterns in response to temperature and light, tolerance to high humidity/high temperature stress, and dormancy.

  • 1959 – 2020 LSHR Plant Releases
    Louisiana Society for Horticultural Research (Plant Releases: 1959 - 2020) William E. Fletcher The Louisiana Society for Horticultural Research (LSHR) is a non-profit organization whose purpose is both educational and scientific. All activities support these purposes. The objectives are to benefit both society members and the horticultural industry. Availability of superior plants, their distribution, and improved horticultural practices are intended for individuals ranging from home gardeners to industry professionals. LSHR was officially organized in 1954 at a gathering of plant enthusiasts hosted by the University of Louisiana at Lafayette (UL Lafayette or UL). Prior to 1999, the institution was the Southwestern Louisiana Industrial Institute and later the University of Southwestern Louisiana. Individuals who were most instrumental in forming this society were Ms. U.B. Evans (Ferriday, LA) and Professor Ira Nelson (UL Lafayette). Ms. Evans was interested in sponsoring plant collecting trips to obtain new plants materials adaptable to Louisiana. During June and July of 1954, Ms. Evans contacted individuals she felt would be interested in this project. In July, Ms. Evans and her enthusiastic supporters, along with faculty and staff from UL Lafayette, organized the Louisiana Society for Horticultural Research. The following month (August 1954) Professor embarked on a plant collection trip to Bolivia. This venture became the first collection trip of many for Professor Nelson and others who would follow him. Several significant contributions have resulted from these explorations. LSHR and UL Lafayette have benefitted from this cooperative relationship. The University has furnished staff members for collecting trips, cared for plant materials resulting from these trips, along with the propagation and distribution of plants for each society member to evaluate under their gardening conditions.

  • Taxonomy of the Begonia Tiliifolia Group, Including Descriptions of Two New Species
    EDINBURGH JOURNAL OF BOTANY Page1of 17 1 © Trustees of the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh (2017) doi: 10.1017/S0960428617000087 TAXONOMY OF THE BEGONIA TILIIFOLIA GROUP, INCLUDING DESCRIPTIONS OF TWO NEW SPECIES M. C. Tebbitt1, M. Hughes2, Á. J. Pérez3 & P. W. Moonlight2,4,∗ Begonia albomaculata as circumscribed in the Flora of Ecuador and related publications is shown to be a misapplied name and represents an undescribed species. This is described as Begonia botryoides Moonlight & Tebbitt sp. nov., and is recorded from the Pichincha, Santo Domingo de los Tsáchilas, Napo, Cotopaxi, Azuay and El Oro provinces in Ecuador, and the Antioquia and Chocó departments of Colombia. The taxonomic study of this species prompted a re-evaluation of related species. It was subsequently found that the Central American material previously included in Begonia tiliifolia C.DC. is distinct from the type and other South American material of this species and represents an undescribed species. This is described as Begonia boreoharlingii Tebbitt & Moonlight sp. nov., and is recorded from the Limón province in Costa Rica, and the Bocas del Toro and Coclé provinces in Panama. Four species, Begonia tiliifolia C.DC., Begonia harlingii L.B.Sm. & Wassh., B. botryoides and B. boreoharlingii, are placed in the informally named Begonia tiliifolia group. A key, descriptions, illustrations and distribution maps are provided for the members of the Begonia tiliifolia group, and its sectional classification is discussed. Keywords.

UNIV. DR. NICOLAE MARIN DOCTORAND Ing, Sonia Cruceru keywords: Begonia, vegetative reproduction, nutritive ground, radicular fertilization, foliar fertilization The present paper is focused on species and hybrids of leaf decorative plants of Begoniaceae family: Begonia boweri, Begonia rex- cultorum, Begonia masoniana, Begonia x diadema. The name of the Begonia genera came since 1690 by French botanist Ch. Plumier (1646-1704) dedicated to Michel Begon (1638-1710) French Antilles intendent. The first publication which describe in 1651 a Begonia species „Nova Plantarum Animalium et Mexicanorum Historia” by Francisco Hernandez a Spanish naturalist from Toledo presented a plant discovered before 1577 and later called Begonia gracilis H.B.K. In 1690, Ch. Plumier discovered 6 species among them: Begonia plumieri, Begonia rotundifolia and then the research intensified. These discoveries were the source of important profits for the horticulture by subsequent hybridation that followed. One of the first hybrids of Begonia was obtained in England in 1847, called Begonia x ricinifolia, having as genitors Begonia heracleifolia and Begonia barkeri; another hybrid from that time is Begonia x erythrophylla in the Berlin Botanic Garden resulting from Begonia hydrocotyfolia with Begonia manicata. The genitors of these two hybrids originated from Mexic. There are known several classifications of the Begonia genus: J.F. Klotzch’s from 1855, A. de Candolle`s from 1864 Chevalier`s who group them as follows: - Beganias with tubers and bulbs – have an underground tuber, sometimes small bulbs between root and stem or near the leaf for instance: Begonia bogneri, Begonia dregei, Begonia boliviensis, Begonia socotrana, etc.
