  • 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.

CLYDE WILSON*, SCOTT M. LESCH and CATHERINE M. GRIEVE United States Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service, United States Salinity Laboratory, 450 West Big Springs Road, Riverside, CA 92507, USA Received: 4 August 1999 Returned for revision: 29 September 1999 Accepted: 8 December 1999 The response of two speciality vegetable crops, New Zealand spinach (Tetragonia tetragonioides Pall.) and red orach (Atriplex hortensis L.), to salt application at three growth stages was investigated. Plants were grown with a base nutrient solution in outdoor sand cultures and salinized at 13 (early), 26 (mid), and 42 (late) d after planting (DAP). For the treatment salt concentrations, we used a salinity composition that would occur in a typical soil in the San Joaquin Valley of California using drainage waters for irrigation. Salinity treatments measuring electrical 1 conductivities (ECi) of 3, 7, 11, 15, 19 and 23 dS m were achieved by adding MgSO4 ,Na2SO4 , NaCl and CaCl2 to the base nutrient solution. These salts were added to the base nutrient solution incrementally over a 5-d period to avoid osmotic shock to the seedlings. The base nutrient solution without added salts served as the non-saline control (3 dS m1). Solution pH was uncontrolled and ranged from 7.7to8.0. Both species were salt sensitive at the early seedling stage and became more salt tolerant as time to salinization increased.

  • Mesembryanthemum Nodiflorum Laurence Garvie Chandler, Arizona
    Mesembryanthemum nodiflorum Laurence Garvie Chandler, Arizona December 2008 Up close, Mesembryanthemum nodiflorum (family Aizoaceae, common name ice plant) displays jewel‐ like leaves, pure white flowers with yellow stamens, and forms mats that cover the desert floor like a red tapestry. Extensive mats of M. nodiflorum grow just south and southwest of Phoenix, primarily on the Gila Indian reservation. Good examples are found along Riggs Road, just west of the I10 intersection. The crystalline appearance of the leaves is the result of epidermal bladder cell that contain concentrated salt solutions. Like many succulents, its redness increases with water stress. M. nodiflorum is native to the Namibian Desert and South Africa and is a recent introduction to Arizona, being first recorded in 1983 by researchers at the University of Arizona. In the United States, M. nodiflorum is a non‐native invasive weed that threatens wild lands. It provides little for native foraging animals as its saltiness deters herbivory. It is also expected to alter soil chemistry by increasing surface salinity after death of the plant, which may interfere with germination and growth of native plants. Plant ecologists have mapped thousands of acres of this plant in some areas of Maricopa County. It is likely that this species has not yet reached its full extent and is expected to establish widely. Suitable habitats in the valley include disturbed areas, canals, agricultural areas, and alleys. Despite its intrinsic, up‐close beauty this is unlikely a succulent we want in our collection. On the other hand, there are many interesting members of the family Aizoaceae that feature in our collections such as Lithops and Oophytum.

  • Tetragonia Decumbens | Plantz Africa About:Reader?Url=
    Tetragonia decumbens | Plantz Africa about:reader?url=http://pza.sanbi.org/tetragonia-decumbens pza.sanbi.org Tetragonia decumbens | Plantz Africa Introduction This widespread dune plant is edible and also performs an important role in stabilizing the sand, enabling the dune to develop into a friendly environment for other plants. Description Description This is a spreading shrub with dark green, sessile, glistening leaves.The sheen is caused by small, shiny, water-storage cells that cover the surface of the leaf. The small, 4-petalled, yellow flowers are situated in groups of 3-5 in the upper leaf axils. They flower from August to November. The fruits are thickly 4-winged. Distribution and habitat Distribution description Found on coastal sand dunes from southern Namibia to the Eastern Cape. Derivation of name and historical aspects History The genus name is derived from the Latin word, tetragonus which means 4-angled, relating to the fruit, and decumbens means prostrate with tip rising upwards. Ecology 1 of 3 2016/12/15 01:48 PM Tetragonia decumbens | Plantz Africa about:reader?url=http://pza.sanbi.org/tetragonia-decumbens Ecology An early colonizer of moist sand dunes, it is an extremely valuable plant for stabilizing moving sand. It acts as a seed-trap and also provides organic matter that enables other species to grow on the dunes. The accumulation of plants matter such as that of Tetragonia decumbens , and the subsequent establishment of other plants, enable dunes to develop from fore dunes to rear dunes that are stabilized by increasing plant growth. The four-angled fruits are easily blown about by the wind, aiding their dispersal.

Salinization is one of the most significant environmental problems in the world. Salinity negatively affects the physicochemical properties of the soil and reduces crop production. This study aimed to investigate the potential use of Aptenia cordifolia L. for the phytoremediation of salt-affected soils. Three salt levels; non-saline (NS, EC: 1.38 dS m-1), slightly saline (SS, EC: 3.54 dS m-1) and highly saline (HS, EC: 9.58 dS m-1) soils were collected from Harran Plain-Turkey and used to cultivated A. cordifolia in pots. To assess the salt tolerance of the plants, physiological and biochemical parameters as well as the accumulation of leaf Na+ and Cl- ions were determined. In the meantime, soils were evaluated in terms of electrical conductivity, pH, organic matter and soil enzymes (dehydrogenase, urease, phosphatase and protease) before and after the cultivation. A significant increase in shoot fresh weight and dry weight were obtained from A.

  • Tetragonia Tetragonioides) in New Zealand
    The commercialisation of kōkihi or New Zealand spinach (Tetragonia tetragonioides) in New Zealand N. Roskruge Institute of Natural Resources PN433, Massey University, Private Bag 11-222, Palmerston North 4442, New Zealand Abstract Kōkihi (Tetragonia tetragonioides) is the traditional name applied to the succulent green plant commonly called New Zealand spinach. It is a wild plant which grows in localised pockets along the coasts of both the North and South Islands of New Zealand, Stewart Island and Kermadec Island but it is seldom found naturally in inland areas. Commercially kōkihi is not a widely cultivated crop in New Zealand, however it is relatively common in non-commercial gardens and seed is available in garden centres. Scoping research was undertaken looking at a selection of agronomic factors which apply to this crop in a commercial production system. Kōkihi is susceptible to a minor range of pests and diseases including the fungal diseases Uredo novae-zealandiae (rust) and Helminthosporium sp. (commonly known as silver scurf on potatoes). The relationship of these diseases to other crops will influence the inclusion of NZ spinach in any crop rotation. Management of the plant is otherwise relatively simple and may be well suited to commercial opportunities. Additional keywords: leafy vegetable Introduction Tetragonia tetragonioides has been given New Zealand is the southernmost the dubious recognition as possibly the only landmass of the Pacific Ocean and of the ‗true‘ vegetable Australasia has provided to Pacific cultures. As such it endures a the world cuisine. This occurred through the relatively temperate climate but does have actions of Captain James Cook and his extremes from sub-tropical in the north to botanist Joseph Banks in their exploits of sub-Antarctic in the south.

O’Keefe, R. Milne, S. Gowans, C. Harding and K. Callister Centre for Environmental Management, University of Ballarat, PO Box 663 Ballarat, Victoria 3353, AUSTRALIA Abstract: The vegetation of Peery Lake area, Paroo-Darling National Park (32°18’–32°40’S, 142°10’–142°25’E) in north western New South Wales was assessed using intensive quadrat sampling and mapped using extensive ground truthing and interpretation of aerial photograph and Landsat Thematic Mapper satellite images. 378 species of vascular plants were recorded from this survey from 66 families. Species recorded from previous studies but not noted in the present study have been added to give a total of 424 vascular plant species for the Park including 55 (13%) exotic species. Twenty vegetation communities were identified and mapped, the most widespread being Acacia aneura tall shrubland/tall open-shrubland, Eremophila/Dodonaea/Acacia open shrubland and Maireana pyramidata low open shrubland. One hundred and fifty years of pastoral use has impacted on many of these communities. Cunninghamia (2003) 8(1): 111–128 Introduction Elder and Waite held the Momba pastoral lease from early 1870 (Heathcote 1965). In 1889 it was reported that Momba Peery Lake area of Paroo–Darling National Park (32°18’– was overrun by kangaroos (Heathcote 1965).

This study was designed to investigate the growth characteristics, chlorophyll content and nutritional properties of Tetragonia decumbens, an indigenous plant species of the South African Western Cape. One hundred and eight cuttings generated from a mother plant obtained from a garden were cultivated in hydroponic systems over 7 weeks. The hydroponic experiment comprised three nutrient solutions of graded concentrations (0.2, 0.1, and 0.05% w/v) of Nutrifeed fertiliser prepared in the water whereas the control had no nutrients. Soilless treatments were made of 100% silica sand medium heaped in plastic pots near the brim. Each hydroponic system was run for 2 h/week at the pH and electrical conductivities (EC) of 4.5, 5.5, 6.5, and 3.38, 2.34, 1.10 dS/m respectively, whereas frequencies of irrigation were set at 2 L/h for 15 min at an intermittent break of 2 h between 0900 and 1700 hours. For the first time, this study reported macronutrients and micronutrients present in dune spinach. At P < 0.05, post-harvest results showed that fertigation did not affect the macronutrients, however, micronutrients were significantly affected.
