We used an original approach which consisted in visiting 120 private gardens in an urbanizing rural area of the French Mediterranean backcountry, and then visited surrounding old fields to determine which planted species had escaped out of the gardens. We built a database of 407 perennial ornamental alien species (most of which were animal dispersed), and determined nineteen features that depicted the strength of species’ propagule pressure within gardens, the match between species requirements and local physical environment, and each species’ reproductive characteristics. Using standard and phylogenetic logistic regression, we found that ornamental alien plants were more likely to have escaped if they were planted in gardens’ margins, if they had a preference for dry soil, were tolerant to high-pH or pH-indifferent, and if they showed a capacity for clonal growth. Focusing only on animal- dispersed plants, we found that alien plants were more likely to have escaped if they were abundant in gardens and showed preference for dry soil. This suggests that gardening practices have a primary impact on the probability of a species to escape from cultivation, along with species pre-adaptation to local soil conditions, and capacity of asexual reproduction. Our results may have important implications for the implementation of management practices and awareness campaigns in order to limit ornamental plants to becoming invasive species in Mediterranean landscapes....Table 5.

In Brazil, the economic potential of the germoplasm of medicinal plants is a wealth to be used and preserved. Native and exotic species are used medicinally in Brazil. Among them, Aloysia gratissima (Gill et Hook) Tronc. (native) and Aloysia triphylla (LHer.) Britton (exotic) both from Verbenaceae Family are highlighted. In this study the meiotic behavior and pollen viability in populations of these species of the genus Aloysia from Rio Grande do Sul State were analyzed.

  • Lamiales – Synoptical Classification Vers
    Lamiales – Synoptical classification vers. 2.6.2 (in prog.) Updated: 12 April, 2016 A Synoptical Classification of the Lamiales Version 2.6.2 (This is a working document) Compiled by Richard Olmstead With the help of: D. Albach, P. Beardsley, D. Bedigian, B. Bremer, P. Cantino, J. Chau, J. L. Clark, B. Drew, P. Garnock- Jones, S. Grose (Heydler), R. Harley, H.-D. Ihlenfeldt, B. Li, L. Lohmann, S. Mathews, L. McDade, K. Müller, E. Norman, N. O’Leary, B. Oxelman, J. Reveal, R. Scotland, J. Smith, D. Tank, E. Tripp, S. Wagstaff, E. Wallander, A. Weber, A. Wolfe, A. Wortley, N. Young, M. Zjhra, and many others [estimated 25 families, 1041 genera, and ca. 21,878 species in Lamiales] The goal of this project is to produce a working infraordinal classification of the Lamiales to genus with information on distribution and species richness. All recognized taxa will be clades; adherence to Linnaean ranks is optional. Synonymy is very incomplete (comprehensive synonymy is not a goal of the project, but could be incorporated). Although I anticipate producing a publishable version of this classification at a future date, my near- term goal is to produce a web-accessible version, which will be available to the public and which will be updated regularly through input from systematists familiar with taxa within the Lamiales. For further information on the project and to provide information for future versions, please contact R. Olmstead via email at [email protected], or by regular mail at: Department of Biology, Box 355325, University of Washington, Seattle WA 98195, USA.

  • Lemon Verbena Aloysia Citriodora
    Did You Know? Lemon Verbena Aloysia citriodora • Widely known as lemon verbena, but common names also include vervain and lemon beebrush. • The genus Aloysia was given to this plant in 1819 to honor Maria Luisa, Princess of Parma. • In the language of flowers, lemon verbena symbolizes sensitivity. • Native to western South America, lemon verbena is often thought to have the best lemon fragrance of the lemon-scented herbs and is intensely lemon flavored. • Lemon verbena was very popular with the ladies of the Victorian era who sewed leaves into the darts of their dresses, tucked them into hankies and nose gays and floated them in finger bowls of water. • In the movie Gone with the Wind, lemon verbena is mentioned as the favorite plant of Scarlet O’Hara’s mother. • The Spanish brought the lemon verbena plant to Europe in the 17th century. • Since the 17th century, lemon verbena has been cultivated for its oil. Today, France, Algeria and Morocco cultivate lemon verbena for its essential oil. • Lemon verbena has sweet and savory uses including: teas, baked goods, salads and salad dressing, as well as potpourri. It can also be used to flavor meat or fish and in making compound butter, pudding, sorbet and ice cream. See Herb of the Month Recipes for more culinary tips. • With centuries of medicinal uses, lemon verbena has been valued for its anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, and antioxidant benefits. It has been used to treat sleep disorders, digestive ailments, asthma, arthritis, skin problems, varicose veins and even as a tension reducer and to sharpen concentration.

Two genera, Dipyrena and Rhaphithamnus , remain unplaced. The aim of this work is to reconstruct the evolutionary history of morphological characters traditionally employed in the classifi cation of the Verbenaceae, with special attention to tribes Verbeneae and Lantaneae. • Methods: Twenty-one characters, related to habit and vegetative morphology, infl orescence and fl oral morphology, ovary and fruit morphology, as well as chromosome number, were optimized over a molecular phylogeny of Verbenaceae. • Key Results: All tribes are supported by at least one morphological trait except tribes Duranteae and Citharexyleae. Suffrutescent habit, sessile fl owers, and four cluses are synapomorphies for tribe Verbeneae. Gynoecium with short style and entire stigma are synapomorphic traits for tribe Lantaneae. Sessile fl owers and unicarpellate ovaries are morphological synapomorphies for the new tribe Neospartoneae.

  • Pest Outbreaks in Tropical Forest Plantations
    cover 04202 3/5/02 7:39 AM Page 1 CIFOR The success of exotic tree species in plantations has generally been attributed to P e s effective species-site matching and their t O O freedom from insect pests and diseases. u t b Nevertheless, there is a fear that catastrophic r e a outbreaks of pests and diseases may occur k s I suddenly in exotic plantations. There are two I n T opposing views: that plantations of exotic T r o species are at greater risk compared to p i c indigenous species and conversely that exotics a l F are at lesser risk. This report provides a critical F o r assessment of the risk of insect pest outbreaks e s t P in exotic plantations using an empirical P l a approach. Nine commonly planted species in n t a the tropics, Acacia mangium, Eucalyptus spp., t i o Gmelina arborea, Hevea brasiliensis, Leucaena n s leucocephala, Paraserianthes falcataria, Pinus caribaea, Swietenia macrophylla and Tectona grandis, were selected and their pest problems in natural forest stands, in indigenous species plantations and in exotic plantations were Pest Outbreaks in compared. Growing trees in monoculture increases the pest problem but the risk of pest Tropical Forest Plantations: outbreaks is not solely dependent on the exotic or indigenous status of a species. Pest outbreaks also occur in native plantations. The Is There a Greater Risk for Exotic Tree Species? theory relating to insect population dynamics and causes of pest outbreaks is discussed and several factors are identified that determine the risk of pest outbreaks in exotic monoculture plantations.
