Caldwell County Trees Shrubs and Woody Vines As of Decemer 20, 2014 This checklist of the vascular plants of Caldwell County is primarily based on the collections in the Herbarium's Plant Resource Center, University of Texas, Austin. The USDA files were searched and the added records are indicated with an asterisk (*). The local Lockhart State Park list and private land surveys are indicated with a pound sign (#). Species marked in bold are listed on the Texas Department of Agriculture Noxious Weeds list.

    Native Trees of Georgia

    1 NATIVE TREES OF GEORGIA By G. Norman Bishop Professor of Forestry George Foster Peabody School of Forestry University of Georgia Currently Named Daniel B. Warnell School of Forest Resources University of Georgia GEORGIA FORESTRY COMMISSION Eleventh Printing - 2001 Revised Edition 2 FOREWARD This manual has been prepared in an effort to give to those interested in the trees of Georgia a means by which they may gain a more intimate knowledge of the tree species. Of about 250 species native to the state, only 92 are described here. These were chosen for their commercial importance, distribution over the state or because of some unusual characteristic. Since the manual is intended primarily for the use of the layman, technical terms have been omitted wherever possible; however, the scientific names of the trees and the families to which they belong, have been included. It might be explained that the species are grouped by families, the name of each occurring at the top of the page over the name of the first member of that family. Also, there is included in the text, a subdivision entitled KEY CHARACTERISTICS, the purpose of which is to give the reader, all in one group, the most outstanding features whereby he may more easily recognize the tree. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The author wishes to express his appreciation to the Houghton Mifflin Company, publishers of Sargent’s Manual of the Trees of North America, for permission to use the cuts of all trees appearing in this manual; to B. R. Stogsdill for assistance in arranging the material; to W.

Although this year has thrown many obstacles our way, we feel that the “show must go on.” In response to the COVID-19 situation, this year will look a little different. For the safety of our members and our customers, this year will be an online pre-order only sale. Our mission stays the same: to support our community’s green spaces, and to educate our community in the areas of gardening, horticulture, conservation, and related topics. GCH members serve as volunteers, and our profits from the Bulb Mart are given back to WELCOME the community in support of our mission. In the last fifteen years, we have given back over $3.5 million in grants to the community! The Garden Club of Houston’s first Plant Sale was held in 1942, on the steps of The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, with plants dug from members’ gardens. Plants propagated from our own members’ yards will be available again this year as well as plants and bulbs sourced from near and far that are unique, interesting, and well suited for area gardens.

    Outline of Angiosperm Phylogeny

    Outline of angiosperm phylogeny: orders, families, and representative genera with emphasis on Oregon native plants Priscilla Spears December 2013 The following listing gives an introduction to the phylogenetic classification of the flowering plants that has emerged in recent decades, and which is based on nucleic acid sequences as well as morphological and developmental data. This listing emphasizes temperate families of the Northern Hemisphere and is meant as an overview with examples of Oregon native plants. It includes many exotic genera that are grown in Oregon as ornamentals plus other plants of interest worldwide. The genera that are Oregon natives are printed in a blue font. Genera that are exotics are shown in black, however genera in blue may also contain non-native species. Names separated by a slash are alternatives or else the nomenclature is in flux. When several genera have the same common name, the names are separated by commas. The order of the family names is from the linear listing of families in the APG III report. For further information, see the references on the last page.

Trees in cities develop under more stressful conditions and are, therefore, more susceptible to parasite including mistletoe infestation. The aim of this study was to investigate the ecological, microclimatic, and landscape factors causing the spread of European mistletoe (Viscum album L.) in urban conditions. The most numerous hosts of mistletoe were Tilia cordata (24.4%), Acer platanoides (22.7%), and Populus nigra (16.7%). On average, there were more than 10 mistletoe bushes per tree. The mass mistletoe infestations (more than 50 bushes per the tree) were detected for Populus berolinensis, Populus nigra, × and Acer saccharinum. The largest number of infected trees was detected in the green zone (city parks), historical housing estates, and green zone along water bodies. Based on the results of principal component analysis (PCA), the main factors causing the spread of mistletoe on the urban territories are trees’ age and relative air humidity.

  • Noteworthy Distributions and Additions in Southwestern Convolvulaceae

    Noteworthy Distributions and Additions in Southwestern Convolvulaceae

    NOTEWORTHY DISTRIBUTIONS AND ADDITIONS IN SOUTHWESTERN CONVOLVULACEAE Daniel F. Austin Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum Tucson, AZ 85734 [email protected] ABSTRACT Since 1998 when the Convolvulaceae was published for the Vascular Plants of Arizona, Calystegia sepium ssp. angulata Brummitt and Convolvulus simuans L. M. Perry have been added to the flora and another species, Jacquemontia agrestis (Choisy) Meisner, has been located that had not been found since 1945. Descriptions, keys, and discussions of these are given to place them in the flora. Additionally, these and Dichondra argentea Willdenow, D. brachypoda Wooton & Standley, D. sericea Swartz, Ipomoea aristolochiifolia (Kunth) G. Don, I. cardiophylla A. Gray, I. ×leucantha Jacquin, and I. thurberi A. Gray, with new noteworthy distributions records in the region, are discussed and mapped. All taxa documented by recent collections are illustrated to facilitate identification. DISTRIBUTION PATTERNS AND ADDITIONS TO THE ARIZONA FLORA Three notable disjunct records have been discovered within Arizona since the treatment of the Convolvulaceae was published for the state (Austin 1998a), Calystegia sepium ssp. angulata Brummitt, Convolvulus simulans L.M. Perry and Jacquemontia agrestis (Choisy) Meisner. Additionally, Ipomoea aristolochiifolia (Kunth) G. Don has been found just south of the border in Mexico. All of these are significant disjunctions in the family, but there are others that have been documented for years and little discussed. Although these are not the only disjunctions within the Convolvulaceae in the region, they are representative of floristic patterns in this and other families. The following discussion updates the known status of the Convolvulaceae in Arizona and compares several species to the floras from which they were derived.

    Native Tree Species of Georgia by Coder Planting Zones 2016

    Pub. No. 31 September 2016 Native Tree Species Of Georgia By CoderCoder PlantingPlanting ZonesZones by Dr. Kim D. Coder, Professor of Tree Biology & Health Care Warnell School of Forestry & Natural Resources, University of Georgia Native tree species surround us, representing a great ecological bounty and a rich cultural history in Georgia. Native trees live from the mountains to the sea in many diverse habitats and under many environmental constraints. Native trees add value, comfort, and beauty to life in Geor- gia. They have provided medicine, food, fiber, shelter, recreation and aesthetic values. Native trees witnessed the arrival of many groups of explorers and settlers, many groups of Native Americans, and a number of ice ages. Native trees are wonderfully adapted to a local area’s climate, soils, pests and other plants. There is a native tree well-suited for most planting sites or landscapes. A “tree” is defined as a perennial, woody, single-stemmed plant capable of attaining a size greater than 15 feet in total height and greater than 4 inches in stem diameter. A “native” tree is found within the last three centuries growing wild and reproducing naturally, and not introduced to an area by human activities. A tree is considered “native in Georgia” if it was not originally brought to Georgia by people, it is found growing and reproducing naturally in the Georgia landscape, and its gene sets developed and succeeded under Georgia’s environmental conditions before human dominance of the land. Key to proper selection of a native tree for planting on any particular site is assuring it can handle various climatic and micro-site characteristics.
