Phylogeny of Southern African and Australasian Wahlenbergioids (Campanulaceae) based on ITS and trnL-F sequence data: implications for a reclassification Christopher N. Cupido , Jessica M. Prebble , and William M. M. Eddie Abstract The Campanulaceae: Wahlenbergioideae currently comprises 15 genera, one of which, Wahlenbergia, is widespread over the southern continents. Southern Africa is the region with maximum wahlenbergioid diversity with 12 genera and approximately 252 species. A second center is Australasia with 38 Wahlenbergia species. This study used a broad sample of wahlenbergioid diversity from South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand to reconstruct a phylogeny based on chloroplast trnL-F and nuclear ITS sequences. Data were analyzed separately and in combination using parsimony and Bayesian methods. The results suggest that for the wahlenbergioids to be monophyletic Wahlenbergia hederacea has to be excluded and that none of the South African, Australian or New Zealand lineages are strictly monophyletic. There are five species assemblages that are in some disagreement with current classification in the family. Wahlenbergia, Prismatocarpus and Roella are shown to be non-monophyletic and implications for a reclassification are presented. Careful consideration of morphological characters is suggested before the adjustment of generic circumscriptions can be accomplished. Recent family-wide molecular phylogenetic studies have supported the view that the Campanulaceae s.s. -

S. SMITH*& Denis E OWES** * Natural History bluseurn, Eton College. H’indsor, Berkshire SL4 6EW. England ** School of Biological and Molecular Sciences, Oxford Brookes University, Headinpon, Oxford 0x3 OBP, England (l) Summary Samples of the endemic Canary grayling butterfly, Hipparchia (Pseudoter- gumia) wyssii (Christ, 1889), were obtained from al1 five of the Canary Islands where it occurs. Each island population comprises a distinct subspecies but the differences between thern are quantitative rather than qualitative ; hence a systern is devised by which elernents of the wing pattern are scored to permit quantitative analysis. The results demonstrate significant inter-island differences in wing size and wing pattern. The underside of the hindwing shows the greatest degree of inter-island vanation. This is the only wing surface that is always visible in a resting butterfly ; its coloration is highly cryptic and it is suggested that the pattern was evolved in response to selection by predators long before H. wyssii or its ancestors reached the Canaries. Subsequent evolution of the details of the wing pattern differed frorn island to island because each island population was probably founded by few individuals with only a fraction of the genetic diversity of the species. It is postulated that the basic “grayling” wing pattern is determined by natural selection, but the precise expression of this pattern on each island is circumscnbed by the limited gene pool of the original founders. -

Plant Pest Risk Assessment for Paterson's Curse
Oregon Department of Agriculture Plant Pest Risk Assessment for Paterson’s Curse, Echium plantagineum 2004 (Revised 2010) Name: Paterson’s curse, salvation Jane, Echium plantagineum Family: Borage, Boraginaceae Findings of This Review and Assessment: Paterson’s curse has been determined to be a category of an “A” listed noxious weed as defined by the Oregon Department of Agriculture (ODA) Noxious Weed Policy and Classification System. This determination is based on a literature review and analysis using two ODA evaluation forms. Using the Noxious Qualitative Weed Risk Assessment v.3.8, Paterson’s curse scored 69 indicating an “A” and a score of 17 with the Noxious Weed Rating System v.3.2. Paterson’s curse is one of the highest ranked weeds due to its drought tolerance, ease of spread and impacts on agriculture. Introduction: Paterson’s curse is a showy ornamental named for the Paterson family of southern Australia who allegedly introduced the plant in the 1800’s as a garden ornamental. Since then, the plant has spread over millions of acres in New South Wales, Western Australia and Victoria provinces. Annual losses for livestock producers are estimated at $30 million annually (Smyth 1999). To some producers it is considered a blessing. Early season growth contains high levels of protein and the species does provide forage during dry years when other forage is limited. Older growth though is far less palatable and competes for water with more valuable grass forage species. In Oregon, Echium p. was first identified in 2003 by an Oregon farmer, at a site one mile north of Lebanon in Linn County. -

I have recently been helping out at the National Wetland Centre at Rotopiko/ Lake Serpentine near Ohaupo, where there is a lot of exciting things happening right now, and there are lots of ways to be involved with this project for those that are interested, so this newsletter has a section on volunteer opportunities as it seems people with botanical skills are always needed. If other members know of projects that botanical society members might want to get involved with, they are welcome to advertise in the next newsletter. Next years’ trip programme is in this newsletter, however details will be added closer to the time for some trips. Hopefully we will also be able to have a number of talks in 2014 like we did this year, thanks to Cynthia for organising these!! I hope you all have a happy and safe Christmas and New Year!!
