E-mail: Abstract: The Rondônia Natural Resources Management Project (PLANAFLORO) was a strategic program developed in partnership between the Brazilian Government and The World Bank in 1992, with the purpose of stimulating the sustainable development and protection of the Amazon in the state of Rondônia. More than a decade after the PLANAFORO program concluded, the aim of the present work is to recover and share the information from the long-abandoned plant collections made during the project’s ecological-economic zoning phase. Most of the material analyzed was sterile, but the fertile voucher specimens recovered are listed here. The material examined represents 378 species in 234 genera and 76 families of angiosperms. Some 8 genera, 68 species, 3 subspecies and 1 variety are new records for Rondônia State. It is our intention that this information will stimulate future studies and contribute to a better understanding and more effective conservation of the plant diversity in the southwestern Amazon of Brazil. Introduction The PLANAFLORO Project funded botanical expeditions In early 1990, Brazilian Amazon was facing remarkably in different areas of the state to inventory arboreal plants high rates of forest conversion (Laurance et al.

  • Two New Species of Lycianthes Series Tricolores from Eastern Mexico
    Dean, E.A. 2014. Two new species of Lycianthes series Tricolores from eastern Mexico. Phytoneuron 2014-42: 1–6. Published 2 April 2014. ISSN 2153 733X TWO NEW SPECIES OF LYCIANTHES SERIES TRICOLORES FROM EASTERN MEXICO ELLEN A. DEAN UC Davis Center for Plant Diversity Plant Sciences M.S. 7 One Shields Avenue Davis, California 95616 [email protected] ABSTRACT Two new species, Lycianthes venturana E. Dean, sp. nov. and Lycianthes michaelneei E. Dean, sp. nov. , are described from eastern Mexico, the former from the state of Puebla and the latter from the state of Veracruz. Both species belong to series Tricolores Bitter, which is made up of six species of shrubs with simple trichomes and that are distributed from Nicaragua to western Mexico. Lycianthes (Dun.) Hassler (Solanaceae) has both Old World and New World representatives and includes 150 to 200 species (Hunziker 2001). Its center of distribution, and the majority of its taxa, are found in the New World (from Mexico to Argentina), with ca. 30 taxa native to Mexico (ca. 14 endemic, two of them described here). The genus is the closest relative of the chile pepper genus Capsicum L. (Walsh & Hoot 2001; Bohs & Olmstead 1997), a relationship that was first pointed out by the German botanist Georg Bitter (Bitter 1919). The two genera have a similar calyx morphology, with the five lobes of the calyx truncated into a sleeve, below which may protrude five to ten appendages (commonly called calyx teeth). However, while Capsicum species have anthers that dehisce by longitudinal slits, the species of Lycianthes typically have poricidal anther dehiscence.

Cenchrus orientalis, Manihot grahamii, Melica chilensis and Panicum capillare subsp. hillmanii are probably reported for the first time from Spain, while Aloe ferox, Canna ×generalis, Cenchrus setaceus, Convolvulus farinosus, Ficus rubiginosa, Jarava plumosa, Koelreu- teria paniculata, Lycianthes rantonnetii, Nassella tenuissima, Paraserianthes lophantha, Plumbago auriculata, Podranea ricasoliana, Proboscidea louisianica, Sedum palmeri, Solanum bonariense, Tipuana tipu, Tradescantia pallida and Vitis ×ruggerii are reported for the first time from the province of Tarragona. Several of these are potential or genuine invasive species and/or agricultural weeds. Miscellane- ous additional records are presented for some further alien taxa with only few earlier records in the study area. Key words: Alien plants, Catalonia, chorology, Spain, Tarragona, vascular plants.

  • Mountain Plants of Northeastern Utah
    MOUNTAIN PLANTS OF NORTHEASTERN UTAH Original booklet and drawings by Berniece A. Andersen and Arthur H. Holmgren Revised May 1996 HG 506 FOREWORD In the original printing, the purpose of this manual was to serve as a guide for students, amateur botanists and anyone interested in the wildflowers of a rather limited geographic area. The intent was to depict and describe over 400 common, conspicuous or beautiful species. In this revision we have tried to maintain the intent and integrity of the original. Scientific names have been updated in accordance with changes in taxonomic thought since the time of the first printing. Some changes have been incorporated in order to make the manual more user-friendly for the beginner. The species are now organized primarily by floral color. We hope that these changes serve to enhance the enjoyment and usefulness of this long-popular manual. We would also like to thank Larry A. Rupp, Extension Horticulture Specialist, for critical review of the draft and for the cover photo. Linda Allen, Assistant Curator, Intermountain Herbarium Donna H.

  • Un-Priced 2021 Catalog in PDF Format
    c toll free: 800.438.7199 fax: 805.964.1329 local: 805.683.1561 text: 805.243.2611 acebook.com/SanMarcosGrowers email: [email protected] Our world certainly has changed since we celebrated 40 years in business with our October 2019 Field Day. Who knew then that we were only months away from a global pandemic that would disrupt everything we thought of as normal, and that the ensuing shutdown would cause such increased interest in gardening? This past year has been a rollercoaster ride for all of us in the nursery and landscape trades. The demand for plants so exceeded the supply that it caused major plant availability shortages, and then the freeze in Texas further exacerbated this situation. To ensure that our customers came first, we did not sell any plants out-of-state, and we continue to work hard to refill the empty spaces left in our field. In the chaos of the situation, we also decided not to produce a 2020 catalog, and this current catalog is coming out so late that we intend it to be a two-year edition. Some items listed may not be available until early next year, so we encourage customers to look to our website Primelist which is updated weekly to view our current availability. As in the past, we continue to grow the many tried-and-true favorite plants that have proven themselves in our warming mediterranean climate. We have also added 245 exciting new plants that are listed in the back of this catalog. With sincere appreciation to all our customers, it is our hope that 2021 and 2022 will be excellent years for horticulture!

A phylogeny of Solanaceae is presented based on the chloroplast DNA regions ndhF and trnLF. With 89 genera and 190 species included, this represents a nearly comprehensive genus-level sampling and provides a framework phylogeny for the entire family that helps integrate many previously-published phylogenetic studies within So- lanaceae. The four genera comprising the family Goetzeaceae and the monotypic families Duckeodendraceae, Nolanaceae, and Sclerophylaceae, often recognized in traditional classifications, are shown to be included in Solanaceae. The current results corroborate previous studies that identify a monophyletic subfamily Solanoideae and the more inclusive “x = 12” clade, which includes Nicotiana and the Australian tribe Anthocercideae. These results also provide greater resolution among lineages within Solanoideae, confirming Jaltomata as sister to Solanum and identifying a clade comprised primarily of tribes Capsiceae (Capsicum and Lycianthes) and Physaleae.
