SINGHURST Wildlife Diversity Program Texas Parks and Wildlife Department 4200 Smith School Road Austin, Texas 78744 WALTER C. HOLMES Department of Biology Baylor University Waco, Texas 76798-7388 ABSTRACT Recent botanical work in Cameron Co., Texas, has resulted in the discovery of naturalized Cupaniopsis anacardioides in the understory of a Sabal mexicana-Ebenopsis ebano forest in a Nature Conservancy preserve. The population includes 30-40 plants of varying age classes from mature to seedling trees. Cupaniopsis (Sapindaceae) is a genus of about 67 species known from Australia, New Guinea, and nearby islands of Micronesia, New Caledonia, and eastern Indonesia (Morat et al. 2012; Reynolds 1985; Hyland et al. 2010). Cupaniopsis anacardioides (carrotwood, tuckeroo) is native to Australia, Indonesia, and Papua New Guinea and has been introduced to the USA –– California (Lockhart et al. 1999), Florida (Oliver 1992), Hawaii (O‘ahu, Frohlich & Lau 2010; Maui, Starr & Starr 2011; and Kauai, Starr & Starr 2015). Establishment in the USA apparently has resulted from its usage in the subtropical nursery trade during the 1950s and early 1960s. The present paper documents the occurrence of the species to Texas, based on the following specimen. TEXAS .

  • 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

Morphologically, Psorospermum is very similar to Harungana, which also belongs to Vismieae along with another genus, Vismia. Interestingly, Harungana occurs in both Madagascar and mainland Africa, as does Psorospermum; Vismia occurs in both Africa and the New World. However, the phylogeny of the tribe and the relationship between the three genera are uncertain.

Their study presented a set of new fossils within the order, generated a chronogram for Geraniales and other rosid orders using fossil-based priors on five nodes, demonstrated an Eocene radiation of Geraniales (and other rosid orders), and argued for more recent (Pliocene–Pleistocene) and climate-linked diversification of genera in the five recognized families relative to previous studies. As a result of very young ages for the crown of Geraniales and other rosid orders, unusual relationships of Geraniales to other rosids, and apparent nucleotide substitution saturation of the two gene regions, we conducted a broad series of BEAST analyses that incorporated additional rosid fossil priors, used more accepted rosid ordinal

  • Flora of South Australia 5Th Edition | Edited by Jürgen Kellermann
    Flora of South Australia 5th Edition | Edited by Jürgen Kellermann KEY TO FAMILIES1 J.P. Jessop2 The sequence of families used in this Flora follows closely the one adopted by the Australian Plant Census (www.anbg.gov. au/chah/apc), which in turn is based on that of the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (APG III 2009) and Mabberley’s Plant Book (Mabberley 2008). It differs from previous editions of the Flora, which were mainly based on the classification system of Engler & Gilg (1919). A list of all families recognised in this Flora is printed in the inside cover pages with families already published highlighted in bold. The up-take of this new system by the State Herbarium of South Australia is still in progress and the S.A. Census database (www.flora.sa.gov.au/census.shtml) still uses the old classification of families. The Australian Plant Census web-site presents comparison tables of the old and new systems on family and genus level. A good overview of all families can be found in Heywood et al. (2007) and Stevens (2001–), although these authors accept a slightly different family classification. A number of names with which people using this key may be familiar but are not employed in the system used in this work have been included for convenience and are enclosed on quotation marks. 1. Plants reproducing by spores and not producing flowers (“Ferns and lycopods”) 2. Aerial shoots either dichotomously branched, with scale leaves and 3-lobed sporophores or plants with fronds consisting of a simple or divided sterile blade and a simple or branched spikelike sporophore ..................................................................................

  • Crocosmia X Crocosmiiflora Montbretia Crocosmia Aurea X Crocosmia Pottsii – Naturally Occurring Hybrid
    Top 40 Far Flung Flora A selection of the best plants for pollinators from the Southern Hemisphere List Curated by Thomas McBride From research data collected and collated at the National Botanic Garden of Wales NB: Butterflies and Moths are not studied at the NBGW so any data on nectar plants beneficial for them is taken from Butterfly Conservation The Southern Hemisphere Verbena bonariensis The Southern Hemisphere includes all countries below the equator. As such, those countries are the furthest from the UK and tend to have more exotic and unusual native species. Many of these species cannot be grown in the UK, but in slightly more temperate regions, some species will thrive here and be of great benefit to our native pollinators. One such example is Verbena bonariensis, native to South America, which is a big hit with our native butterfly and bumblebee species. The Southern Hemisphere contains a lower percentage of land than the northern Hemisphere so the areas included are most of South America (particularly Chile, Argentina, Ecuador and Peru), Southern Africa (particularly South Africa) and Oceania (Particularly Australia and New Zealand). A large proportion of the plants in this list are fully hardy in the UK but some are only half-hardy. Half-hardy annuals may be planted out in the spring and will flourish. Half-hardy perennials or shrubs may need to be grown in pots and moved indoors during the winter months or grown in a very sheltered location. The plants are grouped by Tropaeolum majus Continent rather than a full alphabetical

  • SOAPBERRY Scientific Name: Sapindus Marginatus Willdenow
    Common Name: SOAPBERRY Scientific Name: Sapindus marginatus Willdenow Other Commonly Used Names: Florida soapberry Previously Used Scientific Names: Sapindus saponaria Linnaeus Family: Sapindaceae (soapberry) Rarity Ranks: G5/S1 State Legal Status: Rare Federal Legal Status: none Federal Wetland Status: none Description: Small tree or large shrub usually less than 30 feet (10 meters) tall. Bark pale gray or brown, ridged, and warty. Leaves up to 1 foot (32 cm) long (including leaf stalk), alternate, with 6 - 13 leaflets; leaf stalk without wings between the leaflets. Leaflets 2 - 6 inches (5 - 15 cm) long and ¾ - 2¾ inches (2 - 7 cm) wide, lance-shaped with pointed tips, with no teeth along the edges; leaflets may be opposite or alternate along the stalk; leaves fall in the early spring. Flower clusters up to 7 inches (18 cm) long, with both female and male flowers. Flowers tiny, bell-shaped, with 5 pale yellow petals and 8 stamens. Fruits about ¾ inches (2 cm) long, oval but lopsided, golden-brown, leathery, wrinkled, and hard, with a large, black, poisonous seed. Similar Species: Tropical soapberry (Sapindus saponaria) is not native to Georgia, but may escape from cultivation. It has narrow wings on the leaf stalk between the leaflets; the leaflets have blunt or rounded tips, and its fruits are round. Some botanists consider Florida soapberry to be the same species as tropical soapberry. Related Rare Species: None in Georgia. Habitat: Coastal shell mounds and hardwood hammocks, often near edges of salt marsh, with live oak, red cedar, red bay, pignut hickory, and yaupon. Life History: Soapberry reproduces sexually.

  • Updated Angiosperm Family Tree for Analyzing Phylogenetic Diversity and Community Structure
    Acta Botanica Brasilica - 31(2): 191-198. April-June 2017. doi: 10.1590/0102-33062016abb0306 Updated angiosperm family tree for analyzing phylogenetic diversity and community structure Markus Gastauer1,2* and João Augusto Alves Meira-Neto2 Received: August 19, 2016 Accepted: March 3, 2017 . ABSTRACT Th e computation of phylogenetic diversity and phylogenetic community structure demands an accurately calibrated, high-resolution phylogeny, which refl ects current knowledge regarding diversifi cation within the group of interest. Herein we present the angiosperm phylogeny R20160415.new, which is based on the topology proposed by the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group IV, a recently released compilation of angiosperm diversifi cation. R20160415.new is calibratable by diff erent sets of recently published estimates of mean node ages. Its application for the computation of phylogenetic diversity and/or phylogenetic community structure is straightforward and ensures the inclusion of up-to-date information in user specifi c applications, as long as users are familiar with the pitfalls of such hand- made supertrees. Keywords: angiosperm diversifi cation, APG IV, community tree calibration, megatrees, phylogenetic topology phylogeny comprising the entire taxonomic group under Introduction study (Gastauer & Meira-Neto 2013).
