  • Phacelia Campanularia A. Gray – a SOURCE of POLLEN FLOW for INSECT POLLINATORS
    Vol. 50 No. 1 2006 Journal of Apicultural Science 33 Phacelia campanularia A. Gray – A SOURCE OF POLLEN FLOW FOR INSECT POLLINATORS Anna Wróblewska Department of Botany, University of Agriculture, Akademicka 15, 20 – 950 Lublin, Poland. E-mail: [email protected] Received 10 January 2006; accepted 13 May 2006 Summary The objective of the study was Phacelia campanularia, an annual species of Hydrophyllaceae family. During 2003 – 2005 seasons, the investigations of flowering period and pollen effi- ciency were carried out under climatic conditions of the Lublin area. Weight of pollen was esti- mated by Warakomska's modified ether method (1972), pollen grains were measured according to the recommendations by Andrejev (1926). The results showed that the blooming of Phacelia campanularia started in first decade of June and lasted till the third decade of July (37 – 45 days). The mean number of flowers developed per one plant during the vegetation season reached from 388.7 in 2004, to 423.3 in 2003 and 437.8 in 2005. The flower of Phacelia has five stamens, the anthers of which start dehiscing and releasing pollen at morning hours. Pollen grains are round-flattened with furrows and smooth exine. Their dimensions ranged between 18.88 – 19.63 µm in polar view and 21.32 – 22.15 µm in equatorial view. The mean pollen weight produced by one flower reached 1.05 mg in 2003, 1.42 mg in 2004 and 1.35 mg in 2005, i.e. 444.25 mg, 552.92 mg and 592.34 mg per one plant respectively. A square meter of a phacelia plot may supply 4.22 – 5.63 g of pollen.

  • Desert Bells Phacelia Campanularia Updated
    The Weekly Plant 4 March 2012 Common names: desertbells, desert bluebells, California bluebell Scientific name: Phacelia campanularia1 TAV location: Between driveway and Javelina Way in front of Sarah Dinham’s townhome. Discussion: This showy annual has inch-long, bell-shaped blue flowers. The leaves are coarsely toothed, basal, and have dark red edges. It’s not clear if this species is native to Arizona or just to California. Some references list it as native to Maricopa and Pima Counties. Others list it as native to California only. However, it is frequently included in “desert wildflower” mixes, which may explain its appearance in Arizona and at TAV. Phacelias2 are in the waterleaf family (Hydrophyllaceae). Most have blue-purple flowers and bloom in early spring. The 5-petaled flowers are held in a helicoid cyme, a structure typically found in the waterleaf family and also in the borage family (Boraginaceae). In a helicoid cyme, the flowers are held on a long stalk that is coiled on itself, similar to a scorpion’s tail or to the symbol used in the TAV and ASA logos. The stalk straightens as more flowers open. Why do we care about helicoid cymes? You can use it to help you identify a plant. If you find a plant with a helicoid cyme, check your ID books for plants in the waterleaf and borage families. Many plant identification books and floras3 organize plants by families. Even some websites organize plants by family. Check out Southeastern Arizona Wildflowers (http://www.fireflyforest.com/flowers/). On that website you can View Arizona Plants by flower color, name, or family.

  • 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.

Improving production methods allows growers to reduce cost, improve plant quality and earn higher profits. This study involved three research areas of specialty cut flowers. Partial funding was provided by a S.A.R.E. grant and Bear Creek Farm, Stillwater, OK. I would like to thank my principle advisor Dr. John Dole for his encouragement, support, honesty and perseverance. I would like to thank Dr. Janet Cole and Dr. Jim Ownby for serving on my thesis committee. Dr. Cole offered valuable insight and direction towards the research. Dr. Ownby contributed with his wealth of knowledge in plant physiology. A special thanks goes to Vicki Stamback and the gang at Bear Creek Farm. Vicki's experience as a specialty cut flower grower allowed me to gain personal knowledge of the cut flower industry that would not have taken place without her. Vicki's efforts and cooperation greatly improved this study. I want to thank Randall Smith and Leah Aufill for their assistance and plant care. Tim Hooper also contributed by offering his experiences from the floriculture industry and providing stress relieving lunch breaks.

  • Biosystematic Studies of Phacelia Capitata
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF J. Steph nShelly for the degree of Master of Science in Botanyand PlantPathologypresented on April 11. 1985. Title: Biosystematic Studies of Phacelia capitata (Hydrophyllaceae). a Species Endemic to Serpentine Soils in Southwestern OregonRedacted for privacy Abstract approved: Renton L. Chambers Phacelia capitataRruckeberg is a member of the Phacelia magellanica polyploidcomplex (species group Magellanicae), a group of wide-ranging, polymorphic perennials in westernNorthAmerica related to the South American P. secunda (= P. magellanica). The purpose of thisproject was to determine, to the extent possible, the interrelationships ofP. capitata within the Magellanicae, using studies of its distribution, cytology, morphology, reproductive biology, and population ecology. Phaceliacapitata is endemic to ultramafic (serpentine and peridotite) outcrops, or similar metamorphic substrates, in Coos, Douglas, and JacksonCounties, southwesternOregon. Field surveys revealed22 extant populations. The species occurs on open serpentine slopes, outcrops, and roadbanks or similarlydisturbed sites, generally in areas with a south to southeast exposure. The nativeplant community with which P. capitata is frequently associated is a Pinus ieffreyi/grass savanna. Soils from five P. capitata sites and two E. corvmbosa sites werechemically analyzed. At six of these locations the soils were derived from fully serpentinized parent materials, and were found to possess low levels of phosphorus and very low calcium/magnesium ratios when compared to an eighth sample from a non-serpentine soil. A soil sample fromone P. capitata site, derived from a metamorphic rock similar in appearance to serpentine, had chemical characteristics intermediatebetween those of serpentine and non-serpentine soils. Chromosome counts from 20 P. capitata populations revealed the existence of diploids (n=11) at 19 of them; tetraploid (n=22) counts were obtained from two populations, oneof these populations also containing diploids.

The stems are generally erect, simple or branched at the base, covered with downy or short hairs and with or without glands. The plants are variable in height up to 2 feet. Leaves Great Valley phacelia in bloom, February 2018. Photo: have a petiole and blade, and are oblong to ovate and compound Brightny Spears, Lockeford Plant Materials Center. subdivided into smaller leaflets which are toothed or lobed, length is variable up to 6 inches. The flower has five sepals that are ovate to lanceolate and opaque to translucent, the five petals are pale blue with a tunnel to bell shaped corolla, fused to the purple or white filaments of the five anthers, the style is cleft (Walden et al., 2013). Great Valley phacelia blooms from January through March, and is one of the earliest blooming members of the Phacelia genus. After the seed matures the plant dies off and rapidly breaks down (Calflora, 1997; Lundin et al.,2017). The fruits are ovoid and generally contain four pitted seeds (Walden et al., 2013). The plants are tap rooted with branched fibrous roots. Subspecies: P ciliata var. opaca is distinguished by lanceolate, opaque calyx lobes, it has a limited distribution on clay soils in the San Joaquin Valley near Merced.
