Cryptanthus Society Journal Vol. XXVIII No.3 July-Sept 2013 67 MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT As we come to the close of September 2013, I thought I would re-cap a few very recent and important Cryptanthus Society events worthy of sharing: the newly adopted Cryptanthus Society logo, the 2013 Cryptanthus Society International Show / combined Auctions and 2013 Cryptanthus Society Board Meeting. In an effort to stay current with the times and provide a fresh new image for visual representation, the Cryptanthus Society Board of Directors agreed at the 2012 Board Meeting to discuss possible redesign of the CS logo. Following a healthy discussion and sparked interest, the Cryptanthus Society Logo Committee was formed. The Board of Directors fully reviewed the history of the only official CS logo having first appeared in the JFM 1988 Cryptanthus Society Journal, the importance of retaining certain elements for redesign and adopted specific criteria, including complete rules of eligibility for a contest. Under the direction of the CS Board of Directors, the committee consisting of Steve Hoppin, Chairman, Carole Richtmyer, Gary Turner, Greg and Narelle Aizlewood and Larry Giroux was to orchestrate the contest open to all individuals. Larry Giroux, CSJ editor published all pertinent infor- mation starting in the JFM2013 CSJ and subsequent Journals through late August. He was responsible for receiving all entries to the contest and forwarding electronic copies to the CS Board for vote just shy of the annual board meeting. The un- veiling of the winning entry was shared at the Saturday, September 7, 2013 Banquet of the combined SWBG, Greater Dallas/Ft. Worth, Cryptanthus Shows in Dallas, Tex- as. The winning designs, submitted by Gary Turner, CS Webmaster To the left are two of the additional entries in the logo contest, which were not selected. Top drawing is that by Pat Pennell and the lower design was submitted by Dr. Larry Giroux. 68 Cryptanthus Society Journal Vol. XXVIII No.3 July-Sept 2013 (colored version pictured on the front cover of this publication) were very well received. He has graciously agreed to give up ownership to the Cryptan- thus Society of the design. As winner of the contest Gary will receive a free three year membership to the Cryptanthus Society. I would like to thank Gary and all the other individuals for entering the contest with their creative, artistic designs and submissions. I would also like to thank and recognize Larry Giroux for his valuable assistance on the committee. The 2013 International Cryptanthus Show was recently held in conjunction with the Southwest Bromeliad Guild Show and hosted by the Greater Dallas/ Fort Worth Bromeliad Society. The show was held in a spacious room on the second floor of the Crowne Plaza Hotel and consisted of many well grown Cryptanthus species, cultivars and hybrids. It was judged on Saturday, September 7th by BSI Panel Judges Rick Ryals, Wray Page and Chris Krumrey. The top horticultural award, the Grace Goode Silver Ingot, went to Carole Richtmyer with one of her hybrids, a single, blooming C. ‘William Richtmyer’ and the top artistic winner was Dr. Larry Giroux’s Artistic Ar- rangement, “Sparkling Pinks” featuring C. bivittatus ‘Pink Starlight’ and one of his own hybrids C. ‘Anubis’. The Lou Trahan Sweepstakes winner was Dr. Steve Reynolds. My congratulations go to all the top bench achievers and many thanks to all the exhibitors and volunteers for their support and work. My sincere and deepest appreciation is extended to the SWBG and GD/FWBS for the invitation to join them in this memorable event. And, of course, I cannot forget to thank Larry Giroux once again for a fine job as usual with the head table design and placement. The combined SWBG/GDFWBS/CS Auction held following the dinner ban- quet was quite a success. Many beautiful and desirable bromeliads, including a large selection of diverse Cryptanthus, dominated the items for the auction. In addition, other items including a framed stained glass pineapple, exotic driftwood, etc. stimulated attendees and received competitive bids. Selby Gardens once again supported the CS through their generous donation of Cryptanthus species. I would like to recognize and thank all the individuals that donated auction items and plants to benefit the CS, as well as the volun- teers that assisted in organization, acquisition and prep of all donations. On Sunday, September 8th at 9:00AM the Annual Cryptanthus Society Board Meeting was held and a quorum met. The agenda included officers’, direc- tors’, financial and committee reports, old and new business, election of of- ficers and end of the year CS donations/contributions. Minutes to this meet- ing will be available for publication in an up-coming CSJ, but in the mean- time I would like to recognize and extend a sincere and warm thank you to out-going International Regional Director Greg Aizlewood of Australia. Throughout Greg’s terms of office he has been very successful in promoting and stimulating interest in the genus Cryptanthus, as well as CS membership in his region.

  • Bromeliads Bromeliads Are a Family of Plants (Bromeliaceae, the Pineapple Family) Native to Tropical North and South America
    A Horticulture Information article from the Wisconsin Master Gardener website, posted 19 March 2012 Bromeliads Bromeliads are a family of plants (Bromeliaceae, the pineapple family) native to tropical North and South America. Europeans fi rst found out about bromeliads on Columbus’ second trip to the New World in 1493, where the pineapple (Ananas sp.) was being cultivated by the Carib tribe in the West Indies. The commercial pineapple (Ananas comosus) is native to southern Brazil and Paraguay. After the colonization of the New World it was rapidly transported to all areas of the tropics, and now is widely grown in tropical and sub- tropical areas. The only A collection of bromeliads placed on a tree at Costa Flores, Costa Rica. bromeliad to occur north of the tropics is Spanish “moss” (Tillandsia usneoides). It is neither Spanish nor a moss, but an epiphytic bromeliad. It doesn’t look much like a typical Commercial pineapple, Ananas comosus, bromeliad, though, with its long scaly stems and reduced in the fi eld. fl owers. Bromeliads are monocots, many of which, like their grass relatives, have a special form of photosynthesis that uses a variation of the more usual biochemical pathways to allow them to use water more effi ciently. Even though they come from the tropics, this helps those that are epiphytes contend with life in the treetops where there is limited water and a real danger of drying out. There are about 2500 species Many bromeliads are tropical and several thousand hybrids epiphytes. and cultivars. Many have brightly colored leaves, fl owers or fruit, and range in size from moss-like species of Tillandsia to the enormous Puya raimondii from the Andes which produces a fl owering stem up to 15 feet tall.

  • Nuclear Genes, Matk and the Phylogeny of the Poales
    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2018 Nuclear genes, matK and the phylogeny of the Poales Hochbach, Anne ; Linder, H Peter ; Röser, Martin Abstract: Phylogenetic relationships within the monocot order Poales have been well studied, but sev- eral unrelated questions remain. These include the relationships among the basal families in the order, family delimitations within the restiid clade, and the search for nuclear single-copy gene loci to test the relationships based on chloroplast loci. To this end two nuclear loci (PhyB, Topo6) were explored both at the ordinal level, and within the Bromeliaceae and the restiid clade. First, a plastid reference tree was inferred based on matK, using 140 taxa covering all APG IV families of Poales, and analyzed using parsimony, maximum likelihood and Bayesian methods. The trees inferred from matK closely approach the published phylogeny based on whole-plastome sequencing. Of the two nuclear loci, Topo6 supported a congruent, but much less resolved phylogeny. By contrast, PhyB indicated different phylo- genetic relationships, with, inter alia, Mayacaceae and Typhaceae sister to Poaceae, and Flagellariaceae in a basally branching position within the Poales. Within the restiid clade the differences between the three markers appear less serious. The Anarthria clade is first diverging in all analyses, followed by Restionoideae, Sporadanthoideae, Centrolepidoideae and Leptocarpoideae in the matK and Topo6 data, but in the PhyB data Centrolepidoideae diverges next, followed by a paraphyletic Restionoideae with a clade consisting of the monophyletic Sporadanthoideae and Leptocarpoideae nested within them. The Bromeliaceae phylogeny obtained from Topo6 is insufficiently sampled to make reliable statements, but indicates a good starting point for further investigations.

  • Bromeliad Culture Brochure Furnished by the Bromeliad Society International
    Bromeliad Culture Brochure Furnished by the Bromeliad Society International Bromeliaceae Plant Family Description Bromeliads (bro-meíle-ads) belong to the plant family, Bromeliaceae, which encompasses over 2700 species plus thousands of hybrids. With one exception all are native to the Americas. They grow from the southern part of the United States throughout the Americas to Chile and Argentina in South America. Spanish moss and ball moss are bromeliads found across a very wide range, but the pineapple is the most familiar bromeliad. In nature many bromeliads grow on trees as epiphytes or air plants. Their roots are used mainly for support. They are not parasites. While many bromeliads grow on trees, many others grow in the ground, on rocks and on cliff faces. They are remarkably versatile, and form one of the most adaptable plant families in the world. They have a tremendous ability to survive, and can offer infinite variety, challenge, exciting plant forms and color combinations. Bromeliads are divided into groups called genera. Different genera and species require varying amounts of light, water and humidity; however, the majority of the plants in each genus (singular for genera) often have the same general cultural requirements. In cultivation, the most commonly found genera are Aechmea, Billbergia, Cryptanthus, Dyckia, Guzmania, Hechtia, Neoregelia, Nidularium, Orthophytum, Tillandsia and Vriesea. Many make good house plants if given a reasonable amount of care. Potting For ease of growing, displaying and handling, most bromeliads can be potted, as opposed to mounted on wood or other material. However, most gray leafed tillandsias will grow more easily if mounted.

Two questions are addressed: a) is the presence of the Vorlauferspitze (fore-runner tip) invariably correlated with development of the lamina from the lower leaf zone? and b) was the ancestral monocot characterized by the leaf base mode of development? Scanning electron microscopic observations are made of young primorida using the mold and cast method. These data are combined with data from the literature and examined in a phylogenetic context using parsimony analysis. The results suggest that in some taxa the Vorlauferspitze may be associated with a lamina that is derived from the upper leaf zone, and that the ancestral monocot may not have been characterized by the leaf­ base mode of development.
