Verbascum virgatum Stokes: an addition to the flora of Indiana, with comparison to Verbascum blattaria L. David P. Vernon and Jean D. Schoknecht Department of Life Sciences Indiana State University, Terre Haute, Indiana 47809 Introduction Experience in many countries has shown that one can easily find numerous rare plants along railroad tracks. Large unused lots in railyards and adjacent to rail lines are often luxuriously overgrown with vegetation that is quite rich in species (9). One such lot in downtown Terre Haute at the corner of First and Spruce streets is the site of collection of the first specimens of Verbascum virgatum Stokes found in Indiana. Verbascum L. is a European genus, five species of which have become established in the northeast United States and four others of which have been reported (3). The species are biennials, producing a rosette the first year and a tall flowering stem the next (4). Verbascum virgatum is distributed along roadsides from Cape Breton to southern Ontario, south to South Carolina, Ohio and Texas and in western states, as an adventive, according to Gray's Manual of Botany (2). The Ohio record is a single specimen collected in Franklin County in 1891 (7). It is considered a rare adventive in Illinois, where it was collected in Coles and Pulaski counties (8). These three specimens are housed in the herbarium of the Illinois Natural History Survey (ILLS). It is infrequent in the coastal plain of South Carolina and in Moore and Montgomery counties in North Carolina (11). It is reported as adventive along roadsides in Arizona and Utah (12). -

Towards Resolving Lamiales Relationships
Schäferhoff et al. BMC Evolutionary Biology 2010, 10:352 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2148/10/352 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Towards resolving Lamiales relationships: insights from rapidly evolving chloroplast sequences Bastian Schäferhoff1*, Andreas Fleischmann2, Eberhard Fischer3, Dirk C Albach4, Thomas Borsch5, Günther Heubl2, Kai F Müller1 Abstract Background: In the large angiosperm order Lamiales, a diverse array of highly specialized life strategies such as carnivory, parasitism, epiphytism, and desiccation tolerance occur, and some lineages possess drastically accelerated DNA substitutional rates or miniaturized genomes. However, understanding the evolution of these phenomena in the order, and clarifying borders of and relationships among lamialean families, has been hindered by largely unresolved trees in the past. Results: Our analysis of the rapidly evolving trnK/matK, trnL-F and rps16 chloroplast regions enabled us to infer more precise phylogenetic hypotheses for the Lamiales. Relationships among the nine first-branching families in the Lamiales tree are now resolved with very strong support. Subsequent to Plocospermataceae, a clade consisting of Carlemanniaceae plus Oleaceae branches, followed by Tetrachondraceae and a newly inferred clade composed of Gesneriaceae plus Calceolariaceae, which is also supported by morphological characters. Plantaginaceae (incl. Gratioleae) and Scrophulariaceae are well separated in the backbone grade; Lamiaceae and Verbenaceae appear in distant clades, while the recently described Linderniaceae are confirmed to be monophyletic and in an isolated position. Conclusions: Confidence about deep nodes of the Lamiales tree is an important step towards understanding the evolutionary diversification of a major clade of flowering plants. The degree of resolution obtained here now provides a first opportunity to discuss the evolution of morphological and biochemical traits in Lamiales. -
Reticulate Evolution in the Parasitic Genus Cuscuta (Convolvulaceae): Over and Over Again1
791 Reticulate evolution in the parasitic genus Cuscuta (Convolvulaceae): over and over again1 Sasˇa Stefanovic´ and Mihai Costea Abstract: The frequency and relative importance of hybridization in plants has been an area of intense debate. Although this evolutionary phenomenon has received considerable attention from plant biologists, there are no well-supported cases of reticulate evolution involving parasitic plants, to date. Recent molecular phylogenetic analyses revealed that the subge- nus Grammica, the largest and most diverse group of the stem-parasitic genus Cuscuta (dodder), consists of 15 major clades. We describe here five cases of strongly supported discordance between phylogenies derived from plastid and nu- clear data, and interpret them as results of five independent hybridization events. Three of these cases could represent rela- tively recent reticulations, as each of them involves more closely related species, always confined within the same major clade as their putative parental species, and are currently sympatric or parapatric with them. The two remaining cases in- volve species whose potential progenitors are derived from different major groups of Grammica, and which are allopatric in their present distribution. A series of statistical tests was conducted to assess and further explore the significance of this phylogenetic incongruence. Alternative explanations for discordant gene topologies are explored. Cuscuta liliputana sp. nov., a new Mexican species of hybrid origin is described. Key words: Convolvulaceae, Cuscuta, Cuscuta liliputana sp. nov., molecular phylogeny, parasitic plants, reticulate evolution. Re´sume´ : La fre´quence et l’importance relative de l’hybridation chez les plantes soule`vent d’intenses de´bats. Bien que ce phe´nome`ne e´volutif ait rec¸u beaucoup d’attention de la part des phytobiologistes, a` ce jour, on ne connaıˆt pas de cas bien e´tabli d’e´volution re´ticule´e impliquant des plantes parasites. -

In tracking populations of plant species of conservation concern (Missouri Natural Heritage Program, 2007), there are sometimes also boom years in the number of reports of new populations. Because of reports of five new populations and a surge in numbers of plants at some previously-known sites, 2007 provided encouraging news for the conservation of the auriculate false foxglove [Agalinis auriculata (Michx.) Blake] in Missouri. -

Evolutionary History and Taxonomy of the Cuscuta Umbellata Complex (Convolvulaceae): Evidence of Extensive Hybridization from D
TAXON 59 (6) • December 2010: 1783–1800 Costea & Stefanović • Systematics of the Cuscuta umbellata complex Evolutionary history and taxonomy of the Cuscuta umbellata complex (Convolvulaceae): Evidence of extensive hybridization from discordant nuclear and plastid phylogenies Mihai Costea1 & Saša Stefanović 2 1 Department of Biology, Wilfrid Laurier University, Waterloo, Ontario N2L3C5, Canada 2 Department of Biology, University of Toronto Mississauga, Mississauga, Ontario L5L 1C6, Canada Author for correspondence: Mihai Costea, [email protected] Abstract The Cuscuta umbellata complex is one of the 15 major clades recently circumscribed in C. subg. Grammica. Most of its members occur in North America and the Caribbean (C. desmouliniana, C. lacerata, C. leptantha, C. liliputana, C. odontol- epis, C. polyanthemos, C. tuberculata, C. umbellata), but three species (C. acuta, C. membranacea, C. umbellata) grow in South America, and one (C. hyalina) is found as a native species in India, Pakistan and Eastern to South Africa. Basic morphology, scanning electron microscopy and sequence data from the nuclear internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and the plastid trnL-F region were used to reconstruct the phylogeny, gain a better understanding of the evolutionary history, and determine species boundaries. Our results show that in its currently accepted delimitation C. umbellata is polyphyletic. Discordances between phylogenies derived from plastid and nuclear data strongly suggest that at least four independent hybridization events have occurred in the evolution of this species group, rendering relationships among its members more complex than previously thought. One of these reticulation events involves C. umbellata var. reflexa, a taxon that has been considered synonymous to C. umbellata var. umbellata in the last decades. -
