THE OFFSET July 2015 issue CLUB NEWS Summer is now in full swing and we are still getting plenty of rain. Got another 4 inches in our backyard for the days of July 2nd and 3rd and another 1.75 inches were added In the last two days. This month we have a program about our trip to the Canary Islands last Spring. In August we are having our annual “build your own dish garden workshop”. If you have any friends that may be interested let them know since registration is required. See all details in this newsletter. We are advertising our picnic early this year. In the past we have held the picnic at a member’s home, but it will be easier on everyone to have it at the Gardens. See details and mark your calendar. Hope to see you at the meeting.

As you can read later in the newsletter we have some information about Allison’s interest in succulents. It would be very nice to have more members share with all of us similar information. So if you can take a bit of time and put something together and include one, two or more photos I would be very happy to use these materials in the newsletter. This is a request not just to fill up the newsletter with stuff, but I feel that as a club it would be nice to know more about the members that make up the club. Some members have been around for a long time and know other members pretty well. As our club grows or shrinks new people come and go and I believe that almost no member knows every member. So if you agree with me send me your information so we can all learn more about each other’s interests in succulent or other hobbies. Rosario Douglas, Newsletter editor and webmaster ! -------------------------------------------------------- JUNE 18, 2015 MEETING MINUTES The meeting was called to order at 7:00 PM at the Will Rogers Garden Center. In attendance were: Peggy Anglin, Tom Diggs, Michael & Rosario Douglas, Peggy Holland, Sarah Kraemer, Lyn Pearce, Deb Trimble and new Members Allison Burrows and Jasen Redus. In the absence of our president, Treasurer Peggy Anglin and VP Rosario Douglas presided. Peggy made a motion that the minutes of the previous meeting be approved as printed in the newsletter. Motion carried. Peggy reported a bank balance of $9,361.28 and plant sales of $15,587, a new record for our annual sale. She has not received credit card charges yet, so our final profit has not been determined. If any additional expense reimbursements are outstanding, please turn your receipts in to her as soon as possible. Rosario reminded members about the upcoming dish garden workshop and discussed options for our September picnic. There was no other business, so after a short break for refreshments, a presentation on succulents was given by Nate from the Myriad Gardens. Submitted by, Peggy Anglin, Treasurer 3 THE OFFSET July 2015 issue COCSS ANNUAL PICNIC WHEN: September 17, 2015 WHERE: Will Rogers garden center TIME: 7:00pm Free Food, 'Dirty Santa in September', raffles for plants & other items and plant sales. Where else can you have an evening like this?! No ants, no humidity, & plenty of space for all. If you find you have some plants that just won't fit into either the house or the greenhouse, and want to sell, bring to the picnic already priced. Come prepared to do a little shopping and get some great finds. Since we will be raffling plants & other items purchased by the club & offering members an opportunity to sell some plants, small 'give away' plants/cuttings should be saved for the October meeting. The club will be purchasing the food in appreciation for our hard work at the Show and Sale. We will play 'Dirty Santa in September' so if you would like to play, please bring a gift for each person playing. It is more fun if they are wrapped so members can not see what the item is until chosen. Please be sure to RSVP to Niki Furrh by Sept 10th ([email protected]) or 722-1718 (can leave a message) so we have a count on the number to feed. Guests are welcome so be sure to include them in your final count. Some members will be contacted to help bring in food (with reimbursement by the club) and/or help decorate to avoid just one or two people being left with all the preparations. 4 THE OFFSET July 2015 issue COCSS Program July 16th Succulents of the Canary Islands By Mike and Rosario Douglas Last year we took a 3-week trip to the Canary Islands. We visited the islands of Tenerife, El Hierro, La Gomera and La Palma. We were able to see many succulents from genera such as Aeonium, Grenovia, Ceropegia and Euphorbia growing amongst the spectacular steep and rocky landscapes. a b a. Euphorbia canariensis photographed in Tenerife. b) Aeonium valverdense – endemic to the island of El Hierro. 5 THE OFFSET July 2015 issue 6 THE OFFSET July 2015 issue Welcome our two newest members Jasen and Allison Our Show&Sale was a success again this year. Our club and vendors did very well. Another byproduct of our Show&Sale is that we often get new members who either join at the Sale or get interested about joining after attending our Sale. This month we would like to welcome two new members Jasen and Allison to our club. We are happy to have new members especially “young” new members. As you all know younger people are not joining clubs in general and this is a nation-wide problem. I am including information about or two new members and their interests which include growing succulents. Allison Burrows writes: My husband, son and I moved to Moore last summer and finally have lovely windows that were begging for plants. I started looking for small house plants and noticed the unique and amazing succulents. Since then, I’ve been hooked. My mom always has had aloes, and she has recently started collecting other succulents as well. It’s become a hobby that we have fun sharing with each other. My plants are mostly young and small; I have also lost a few due to overwatering. I search online for care information, but would love to be in a social setting where information can be shared and appreciated. I have about 15 main plants and have started propagating the leaves that fall off of them. My favorites of my collection include a sedum that my mom gave me (Sedum morganianum, I think) and a small, but very sweet Portulacaria afra. I am fond of lithops and am determined to keep the two I currently have alive for as long as I possibly can. My other interests include crafting, gardening (veggies), and spending time outside. I spend most of my time with my 2 1/2 year old son and I currently teach biology at UCO part time. My education focused mostly on wildlife and humans, not so much on plants, though. I have been learning a lot about plants through growing vegetables, and am looking forward to learning as much as I can about cacti and succulents. Below are two photos Allison sent showing some of her plants. 7 THE OFFSET July 2015 issue CACTUS AND SUCCULENT HAPPENINGS IN THE REGION July 16 Central Oklahoma Cactus and Succulent Society monthly meeting at 7:00 pm at the Will Rogers Garden Center.

Bruyns Bolus Herbarium Department of Biological Sciences University of Cape Town Rondebosch 7701 Pretoria 2014 S T R E L I T Z I A This series has replaced Memoirs of the Botanical Survey of South Africa and Annals of the Kirstenbosch Botanic Gardens, which the South African National Biodiversity Institute (SANBI) inherited from its predecessor organisa- tions. The plant genus Strelitzia occurs naturally in the eastern parts of southern Africa. It comprises three arbores- cent species, known as wild bananas, and two acaulescent species, known as crane flowers or bird-of-paradise flowers. The logo of SANBI is partly based on the striking inflorescence of Strelitzia reginae, a native of the Eastern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal that has become a garden favourite worldwide. It symbolises the commitment of SANBI to champion the exploration, conservation, sustainable use, appreciation and enjoyment of South Africa’s excep- tionally rich biodiversity for all people.

  • GENOME EVOLUTION in MONOCOTS a Dissertation
    GENOME EVOLUTION IN MONOCOTS A Dissertation Presented to The Faculty of the Graduate School At the University of Missouri In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy By Kate L. Hertweck Dr. J. Chris Pires, Dissertation Advisor JULY 2011 The undersigned, appointed by the dean of the Graduate School, have examined the dissertation entitled GENOME EVOLUTION IN MONOCOTS Presented by Kate L. Hertweck A candidate for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy And hereby certify that, in their opinion, it is worthy of acceptance. Dr. J. Chris Pires Dr. Lori Eggert Dr. Candace Galen Dr. Rose‐Marie Muzika ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am indebted to many people for their assistance during the course of my graduate education. I would not have derived such a keen understanding of the learning process without the tutelage of Dr. Sandi Abell. Members of the Pires lab provided prolific support in improving lab techniques, computational analysis, greenhouse maintenance, and writing support. Team Monocot, including Dr. Mike Kinney, Dr. Roxi Steele, and Erica Wheeler were particularly helpful, but other lab members working on Brassicaceae (Dr. Zhiyong Xiong, Dr. Maqsood Rehman, Pat Edger, Tatiana Arias, Dustin Mayfield) all provided vital support as well. I am also grateful for the support of a high school student, Cady Anderson, and an undergraduate, Tori Docktor, for their assistance in laboratory procedures. Many people, scientist and otherwise, helped with field collections: Dr. Travis Columbus, Hester Bell, Doug and Judy McGoon, Julie Ketner, Katy Klymus, and William Alexander. Many thanks to Barb Sonderman for taking care of my greenhouse collection of many odd plants brought back from the field.

  • Diversification Into Novel Habitats in the Africa Clade of Dioscorea (Dioscoreaceae): Erect Habit and Elephant’S Foot Tubers Olivier Maurin1,2, A
    Maurin et al. BMC Evolutionary Biology (2016) 16:238 DOI 10.1186/s12862-016-0812-z RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access Diversification into novel habitats in the Africa clade of Dioscorea (Dioscoreaceae): erect habit and elephant’s foot tubers Olivier Maurin1,2, A. Muthama Muasya3*, Pilar Catalan4,5, Eugene Z. Shongwe1, Juan Viruel 6,7, Paul Wilkin 2 and Michelle van der Bank1 Abstract Background: Dioscorea is a widely distributed and highly diversified genus in tropical regions where it is represented by ten main clades, one of which diversified exclusively in Africa. In southern Africa it is characterised by a distinct group of species with a pachycaul or “elephant’sfoot” structure that is partially to fully exposed above the substrate. In contrast to African representatives of the genus from other clades, occurring mainly in forest or woodland, the pachycaul taxa and their southern African relatives occur in diverse habitats ranging from woodland to open vegetation. Here we investigate patterns of diversification in the African clade, time of transition from forest to more open habitat, and morphological traits associated with each habitat and evaluate if such transitions have led to modification of reproductive organs and mode of dispersal. Results: The Africa clade originated in the Oligocene and comprises four subclades. The Dioscorea buchananii subclade (southeastern tropical Africa and South Africa) is sister to the East African subclade, which is respectively sister to the recently evolved sister South African (e. g., Cape and Pachycaul) subclades. The Cape and Pachycaul subclades diversified in the east of the Cape Peninsula in the mid Miocene, in an area with complex geomorphology and climate, where the fynbos, thicket, succulent karoo and forest biomes meet.

Mike and I are back after a long (75 day) trip to South Africa and Madagascar. While in South Africa we had the opportunity to visit the west coast area and catch some of the last patches of Namaqualand blooms. The flowers were truly impressive, not just because of the sheer number of blooms per square meter, but also because of the diversity of colors and patterns. Many flowers have dark spots at the base of the corolla which look remarkably like small insects.

Please join me in welcoming Mike Bodkin, Walker Oliver, Christy Wild, Patricia Moreno, Madeline Droog, Art Leuterman, Portia Leyendecker, Karen Kain, Michael Stencel, Alicia Lau, and Peter Pham to our club. We also gained a returnee in Mary McConnell, who had accidentally let her membership lapse. Mary has been attending college, and night classes and homework made it impossible for her to attend HCSS meetings. She hopes a different schedule will allow her to join us more regularly. We had two door prizes at the Show & Sale. Patricia Moreno won a beautiful Echeveria, and Rafael Sepulveda was the happy winner of a Euphorbia milii. On September 26, twenty-four members attended the meeting. Among those was brand-new member Rafael Sepulveda, who joined at the meeting. Welcome to HCSS, Rafael! Also attending were guests Ken Warren, Michael Bryan (guest of Victoria Castillo), and Sue Ellen Richardson and her son (whose name I can’t read). Several wonderful door prizes were given away. Dave Thomas donated a Kalanchoe prolifera, which was won by July Olson.

Meerow ABSTRACT. Following recent phylogenetic studies of the families and genera of Dioscoreales, the identification of mono- phyletic infrageneric taxa in the pantropical genus Dioscorea is a priority. A phylogenetic analysis based on sequence data from the plastid genes rbcL and matK is presented, using 67 species of Dioscorea and covering all the main Old World and selected New World lineages. The analysis used 14 outgroup taxa, including Trichopus Gaertn., Tacca J.R. & G. Forster, Stenomeris Planch., Burmannia L. and Thismia Griff. The main findings are: a) that a clade of rhizomatous taxa is sister to the rest of Dioscorea; b) the main Old World groups (such as the right-twining D. sect. Enantiophyllum) are monophyletic and c) there are two distinct lineages among the endemic Malagasy taxa.
