  • 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. Basal Angiosperms (ANITA grade) Amborellales Amborellaceae, sole family, the earliest branch of flowering plants, a shrub native to New Caledonia – Amborella Nymphaeales Hydatellaceae – aquatics from Australasia, previously classified as a grass Cabombaceae (water shield – Brasenia, fanwort – Cabomba) Nymphaeaceae (water lilies – Nymphaea; pond lilies – Nuphar) Austrobaileyales Schisandraceae (wild sarsaparilla, star vine – Schisandra; Japanese

    Tips From Trecanna Trecanna Nursery is a family-run plant nursery owned by Mark & Karen Wash and set on the Cornish slopes of the Tamar Valley, specialising in unusual bulbs & perennials, Crocosmias and other South African plants. Each month Mark will write a feature on some of his very favourite plants. Trecanna Nursery is now open from Wednesday to Saturday throughout the year, from 10am to 5pm, (or phone to arrange a visit at other times). There is a wide range of unusual bulbs, herbaceous plants and hardy South African plants including the largest selection of Crocosmia in the South. Throughout the autumn there is a superb range of less usual dry bulbs from around the world – plant them now for flowers from winter to summer. There is also an unusual range of gifts for gardeners.

Reid Department of Environmental Horticulture, University of California, Davis, CA 95616 Additional index words. corms, apical meristem size, carbohydrate, respiration rate, brodiaea Abstract. Exposure of dormant corms of Triteleia laxa ‘Queen Fabiola’ to 20 ppm C2H4 for 7 days promoted flowering of small corms and resulted in increased apical meristem size, early sprouting, early flowering, more flowers per Inflorescence, and increased fresh weight of daughter corms and cormels. The respiration rate of the C&treated corms increased to four to five times that of the controls during the 7-day treatment, declined markedly after termination of the C2H4 treatment, but remained higher than that of the controls. The C2H4 effects were associated with increased growth rate and consequently a greater final size of the apical meristem (determined by scanning electron microscopy). Leaves produced by C2H4-treated corms were wider, longer, and weighed more than those of the controls.

  • Five Types of Bulbs the Word “Bulb” Here Is Used As a Generic Term for Plants That Grow from Five Distinct Types of Underground Structures As Follows
    Five Types of Bulbs The word “bulb” here is used as a generic term for plants that grow from five distinct types of underground structures as follows: True Bulbs (Hyacinth, Tulip, Daffodil) Tiny bulblets or bulbils attach themselves to the bulb. Dig bulbs and separate gently remove tiny bulbs from basal plate. Plant bulblets in out-of-the-way spot till mature enough for bloom. Corms (Gladiolus, Crocus, Freesia) to divide separate cormels from main corm. Plant in an out-of-the-way place till corms are large enough to flower. Tubers (Anemone (most), Tuberous Begonia, Florist Cyclamen) – To divide, dig and separate large tuber into two or more sections, making sure each section has at least one or two growth points. Rhizomes (Bearded Iris, Agapanthus, Anemone [some], Canna rhizomes produce new plants from growth points along their sides. To divide, break at narrowing points which seem to divide sections. Each “break” needs at least one growing point. Tuberous Roots – (Day Lily, Ranunculus, Dahlia) to divide, dig and cut apart so that each separated root has a growth bud. NOTE: Tulips and Hyacinth need winter chill for best bloom. Purchase bulbs around Labor Day and *chill in refrigerator in vented bag for at least six weeks prior to planting. *IMPORTANT: While bulbs are being stored in refrigerator it is important that no fruits are stored in same refrigerator. Bulbs in Pots: Planting depth: Mix at home potting medium: Daffodil 5 inches 1 part peat moss Hyacinth 4 inches 1 part compost Tulip 2½ times deep as bulb is wide 1 part builder’s sand Muscari 2-3 inches Fertilizer (according to package instructions) Crocus 2 inches Growing Instructions for bulbs pot: Place in full sunlight (at least six hours each day).

Current anatomical research in Liliaceae, Amaryllidaceae and Iridaceae. Telopea 2(4): 425-452, Fig.1-An annotated bibliography is presented covering literature over the period 1968 to date. Recent research is described and areas of future work are discussed. INTRODUCTION In this article, the literature for the past twelve or so years is recorded on the anatomy of Liliaceae, AmarylIidaceae and Iridaceae and the smaller, related families, Alliaceae, Haemodoraceae, Hypoxidaceae, Ruscaceae, Smilacaceae and Trilliaceae. Subjects covered range from embryology, vegetative and floral anatomy to seed anatomy. A format is used in which references are arranged alphabetically, numbered and annotated, so that the reader can rapidly obtain an idea of the range and contents of papers on subjects of particular interest to him. The main research trends have been identified, classified, and check lists compiled for the major headings. Current systematic anatomy on the 'Anatomy of the Monocotyledons' series is reported. Comment is made on areas of research which might prove to be of future significance.
