Judd's infrageneric classification of Pieris was re- examined examined in the light of new palynological characters. The genus Pieris is stenopalynous in in having 3-colporate and oblate pollen tetrads. However ,a continuous and serial varia- tion tion in the exine sculpture ,tetrad diameter ,pol 訂 and equatorial length of pollen and apocolpial apocolpial exine thickness was revealed within the genus. Pieris nana is characterized by having having the smallest pollen and the smallest rugulae in the rugulate sculpture. Considering other other distinct morphological characters ,we confirm the recognition of the monotypic subgenus subgenus Arcterica based on this species. Within the other subgenus ,Pieris ,members of the the sections Pieris and Phillyreoides can be distinguished by subtle differences in colpus width , septum thickness and ratio of colpus length to tetrad diameter. Pieris formos αis distinguished distinguished by its psilate exine with clear secondary striate sculpture.

    Department of Planning and Zoning Subject: Howard County Landscape Manual Updates: Recommended Street Tree List (Appendix B) and Recommended Plant List (Appendix C) - Effective July 1, 2010 To: DLD Review Staff Homebuilders Committee From: Kent Sheubrooks, Acting Chief Division of Land Development Date: July 1, 2010 Purpose: The purpose of this policy memorandum is to update the Recommended Plant Lists presently contained in the Landscape Manual. The plant lists were created for the first edition of the Manual in 1993 before information was available about invasive qualities of certain recommended plants contained in those lists (Norway Maple, Bradford Pear, etc.). Additionally, diseases and pests have made some other plants undesirable (Ash, Austrian Pine, etc.). The Howard County General Plan 2000 and subsequent environmental and community planning publications such as the Route 1 and Route 40 Manuals and the Green Neighborhood Design Guidelines have promoted the desirability of using native plants in landscape plantings. Therefore, this policy seeks to update the Recommended Plant Lists by identifying invasive plant species and disease or pest ridden plants for their removal and prohibition from further planting in Howard County and to add other available native plants which have desirable characteristics for street tree or general landscape use for inclusion on the Recommended Plant Lists. Please note that a comprehensive review of the street tree and landscape tree lists were conducted for the purpose of this update, however, only

  • Diversity in Host Preference of Rotylenchus Spp. Y.S
    International Journal of Science, Environment ISSN 2278-3687 (O) and Technology, Vol. 7, No 5, 2018, 1786 – 1793 2277-663X (P) DIVERSITY IN HOST PREFERENCE OF ROTYLENCHUS SPP. Y.S. Rathore Principal Scientist (Retd.), Indian Institute of Pulses Research, Kanpur -208024 (U.P.) E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Species of the genus Rotylenchus are ecto- or semi-endo parasites and feed on roots of their host plants. In the study it was found that 50% species of Rotylenchus were monophagous and mostly on plants in the clade Rosids followed by monocots, Asterids and gymnosperms. In general, Rosids and Asterids combined parasitized more than 50% host species followed by monocots. Though food preference was species specific but by and large woody plants were preferred from very primitive families like Magnoliaceae and Lauraceae to representatives of advanced families. Woody plants like pines and others made a substantial contribution in the host range of Rotylenchus. Maximum number of Rotylenchus species harboured plants in families Poaceae (monocots), Rosaceae (Rosids) and Oleaceae (Asterids) followed by Fabaceae, Fagaceae, Asteraceae and Pinaceae. It is, therefore, suggested that agricultural crops should be grown far away from wild vegetation and forest plantations. Keywords: Rotylenchus, Magnoliids, Rosids, Asterids, Gymnosperms, Host preference. INTRODUCTION Species of the genus Rotylenchus (Nematoda: Haplolaimidae) are migratory ectoparasites and browse on the surface of roots. The damage caused by them is usually limited to necrosis of penetrated cells (1). However, species with longer stylet penetrate to tissues more deeply and killing more cells and called as semi-endoparasites (2,3). The genus contains 97 nominal species which parasitize on a wide range of wild and cultivated plants worldwide (3).

Larva. (Photo from INRA HYPPZ) Biology A female butterfly lays masses of yellow eggs on underside of host leaves. After egg hatch, caterpillars feed on leaves. Young caterpillars aggregate while older caterpillars occur separately. Fully grown caterpillar leaves the plant and moves to a suitable pupation site (e.g., fences, walls, roofs or tree trunks). The pupa is anchored by a spindle of silk. Adult butterflies are active from April through October feeding on nectar from a wide array of plants. Identification Pupa.

  • A Phytosociological Study of Serpentine Areas in Shikoku, Japan
    A PhytosociologicalStudy of Serpentine Areas in Shikoku, Japan 'By Tsugiwo Yamanaka I. Introduction It has been well known that the plant life on serpentine and related rocks is strikingly different from that on other rocks. Serpentine is, strictly speaking, essentially a magnesium iron silicate formed by hydro- thermal alteration from ultrabasic rocks, such as peridotite. However, these ultrabasic rocks are grouped together as serpentines by almost all the botanists because of the similarity of the specific e仔ect on the flora and vegetation. Therefore> the 'areas treated in the present paper include the peridotite as well as the real serpentine areas. Ultrabasic rocks occur in many parts of the world. Since Pancic described the flora on serpentine of Serbia in 1859・, the flora and vegetation of serpentine areas have been reported by a large number of authors from Europe・North and South America・New Zealand, New Caledonia, South Africa, Indonesia, and Japan. In Japan, serpentine areas have been well known by botanists as interesting places on account of their very rich and characteristic floras. But no report with particular regard to serpentine appeared until Yoshinaga paid attention to the peculiar flora on serpentine in K6chi Prefecture (Shikoku) in 1914. Thereafter, in !1918, Nishida mentioned the peculiarity of the serpentine flora on Mt. Yupari (Hokkaidd). Up to the year ・1950, Tatewaki's publications on the flora and vegetation on serpentine in Hokkaido were important contributions to the ecological and phytogeographical study. From the year 1950, the plant life on serpentine・ has been noticed by a number of botanists. Kitamura and his co-workers (1950-57) have studied serpentine floras in HokkaidS, Honshu, and Shikoku.
