  • Guide to the Flora of the Carolinas, Virginia, and Georgia, Working Draft of 17 March 2004 -- LILIACEAE
    Guide to the Flora of the Carolinas, Virginia, and Georgia, Working Draft of 17 March 2004 -- LILIACEAE LILIACEAE de Jussieu 1789 (Lily Family) (also see AGAVACEAE, ALLIACEAE, ALSTROEMERIACEAE, AMARYLLIDACEAE, ASPARAGACEAE, COLCHICACEAE, HEMEROCALLIDACEAE, HOSTACEAE, HYACINTHACEAE, HYPOXIDACEAE, MELANTHIACEAE, NARTHECIACEAE, RUSCACEAE, SMILACACEAE, THEMIDACEAE, TOFIELDIACEAE) As here interpreted narrowly, the Liliaceae constitutes about 11 genera and 550 species, of the Northern Hemisphere. There has been much recent investigation and re-interpretation of evidence regarding the upper-level taxonomy of the Liliales, with strong suggestions that the broad Liliaceae recognized by Cronquist (1981) is artificial and polyphyletic. Cronquist (1993) himself concurs, at least to a degree: "we still await a comprehensive reorganization of the lilies into several families more comparable to other recognized families of angiosperms." Dahlgren & Clifford (1982) and Dahlgren, Clifford, & Yeo (1985) synthesized an early phase in the modern revolution of monocot taxonomy. Since then, additional research, especially molecular (Duvall et al. 1993, Chase et al. 1993, Bogler & Simpson 1995, and many others), has strongly validated the general lines (and many details) of Dahlgren's arrangement. The most recent synthesis (Kubitzki 1998a) is followed as the basis for familial and generic taxonomy of the lilies and their relatives (see summary below). References: Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (1998, 2003); Tamura in Kubitzki (1998a). Our “liliaceous” genera (members of orders placed in the Lilianae) are therefore divided as shown below, largely following Kubitzki (1998a) and some more recent molecular analyses. ALISMATALES TOFIELDIACEAE: Pleea, Tofieldia. LILIALES ALSTROEMERIACEAE: Alstroemeria COLCHICACEAE: Colchicum, Uvularia. LILIACEAE: Clintonia, Erythronium, Lilium, Medeola, Prosartes, Streptopus, Tricyrtis, Tulipa. MELANTHIACEAE: Amianthium, Anticlea, Chamaelirium, Helonias, Melanthium, Schoenocaulon, Stenanthium, Veratrum, Toxicoscordion, Trillium, Xerophyllum, Zigadenus.

  • 1 Sistemática Filogenética De Pterocaulon E Wunderlichia
    Sistemática filogenética de Pterocaulon e Wunderlichia (Asteraceae) Pesquisador responsável: Dr. João Semir Universidade Estadual de Campinas Resumo A grande variabilidade morfológica que as plantas apresentam permite a caracterização e o reconhecimento das espécies, constituindo assim, a base da taxonomia. O número de caracteres utilizados para o reconhecimento das espécies aumentou muito ao longo da história da classificação dos organismos e, nas últimas décadas este acréscimo foi ainda maior devido aos avanços oriundos de estudos moleculares. Atualmente técnicas utilizando dados moleculares associados aos dados morfológicos são excelentes fontes de informação para os estudos de evolução e reconstrução filogenética. Asteraceae é a maior família entre as Angiospermas, possui cerca de 24.000 espécies distribuídas em 1.600 gêneros dem distribuição cosmopolita. Nos Neotrópicos a diversidade da família é de aproximadamente 580 gêneros e 8.040 espécies. Para o Brasil são referidas 1.960 espécies distribuídas em 288 gêneros, representando a terceira maior família de plantas com flores para o Brasil, colocando-o como um centro de diversidade das Asteraceae. O presente projeto faz parte dos estudos para o conhecimento da diversidade das Asteraceae brasileiras e tem como objetivo reconstruir hipóteses filogenéticas dos gêneros Pterocaulon e Wunderlichia, com base em dados moleculares, permitindo o estudo e interpretação da evolução de caracteres morfológicos importantes para a circunscrição desses gêneros. Para este propósito, além dos dados moleculares, serão utilizadas ferramentas, como o estudo taxonômico e cromossômico. Os resultados serão apresentados em forma de artigos, publicados em periódicos e também divulgados em reuniões científicas. O desenvolvimento deste projeto é importante, pois será realizado por meio de parcerias com pesquisadores de outras áreas da botânica sendo possível ampliar o conhecimento dos táxons em análise, contribuindo para melhorar a compreensão acerca da diversidade, biologia e conservação dos mesmos.

Volume 14, No. 2 July 2013 Editorial Skippers in Slippers! by Robert Dirig HE FIRST WILD ORCHIDS I EVER SAW were Pink M Lady-slippers (Cypripedium acaule), which my family cherished in the Catskills. Later, my father showed me the Larger Yellow Lady-slipper (C. parviflorum, var. pubescens) along the Delaware River. But nowhere in that region did we find the other species that is pictured in all the guides — the great Showy Lady-slipper (C. reginae) that often grows in knee-high clumps, has leaves on its stems, and two or more gorgeous pink-and-white blooms per plant. I was in my thirties before I finally beheld this iconic wildflower near Ithaca, N.Y. More years passed, while I learned about its seepy fen habitats, with underlying marl that provided the damp limy situations required by this spectacular orchid. In the early 1980s, I started to compile yearly records of butterfly nectaring, a field habit that continues to the present. In all that time I have never observed a butterfly feeding at any kind of lady-slipper; the closest I came was finding a male Long Dash (Polites mystic) resting on a Showy’s flower at dusk (28 June edges of a beaver meadow, or on acidickind of 2000). Then on 21 June 2005, I noticed a dead male Hobomok Skipper (Poanes hobomok) trapped inside the lip of a Showy Lady-slipper at Cornell’s Eames Memorial Preserve, and within an hour found another at McLean Bogs Preserve.

In citations of articles, both here and in the taxonomic treatments, and also in nomenclatural citations, the titles of serials are rendered in the abbreviated forms recommended in G. D. R. Bridson and E. R. Smith (1991). Cross references to the corresponding full serial titles are interpolated here alphabetically by abbreviated form. In nomenclatural citations (only), book titles are rendered in the abbreviated forms recommended in F. A. Stafleu and R. S. Cowan (1976–1988) and F. A. Stafleu and E. A. Mennega (1992+). Here, those abbreviated forms are indicated parenthetically following the full citations of the corresponding works, and cross references to the full citations are interpolated in the list alphabetically by abbreviated form. Two or more works published in the same year by the same author or group of coauthors will be distinguished uniquely and consistently throughout all volumes of Flora of North America by lower-case letters (b, c, d, ...) suffixed to the date for the second and subsequent works in the set. The suffixes are assigned in order of editorial encounter and do not reflect chronological sequence of publication. The first work by any particular author or group from any given year carries the implicit date suffix "a"; thus, the sequence of explicit suffixes begins with "b". Some citations in this list have dates suffixed "b" but are not preceded by citations of "[a]" works for the same year, or have dates suffixed "c" but are not preceded by citations of "[a]" and/or "b" works for that year.

    MISSISSIPPI NATURAL HERITAGE PROGRAM SPECIAL PLANTS - TRACKING LIST -2018- Approximately 3300 species of vascular plants (fern, gymnosperms, and angiosperms), and numerous non-vascular plants may be found in Mississippi. Many of these are quite common. Some, however, are known or suspected to occur in low numbers; these are designated as species of special concern, and are listed below. There are 495 special concern plants, which include 4 non- vascular plants, 28 ferns and fern allies, 4 gymnosperms, and 459 angiosperms 244 dicots and 215 monocots. An additional 100 species are designated “watch” status (see “Special Plants - Watch List”) with the potential of becoming species of special concern and include 2 fern and fern allies, 54 dicots and 44 monocots. This list is designated for the primary purposes of : 1) in environmental assessments, “flagging” of sensitive species that may be negatively affected by proposed actions; 2) determination of protection priorities of natural areas that contain such species; and 3) determination of priorities of inventory and protection for these plants, including the proposed listing of species for federal protection.
