Acer lanceolatum Molliard (Bull. Soc. Bot. France 50: 134. 1903), described from Guangxi, is an uncertain species and is therefore not accepted here. The type specimen, in Berlin (B), has been destroyed. Up to now, no additional specimens have been found that could help clarify the application of this name. Worldwide, Japanese maples are famous for their autumn color, and there are over 400 cultivars. Also, many Chinese maple trees have beautiful autumn colors and have been cultivated widely in Chinese gardens, such as Acer buergerianum, A. davidii, A. duplicatoserratum, A. griseum, A. pictum, A. tataricum subsp. ginnala, A. triflorum, A. truncatum, and A. wilsonii.

  • Wa Shan – Emei Shan, a Further Comparison
    photograph © Zhang Lin A rare view of Wa Shan almost minus its shroud of mist, viewed from the Abies fabri forested slopes of Emei Shan. At its far left the mist-filled Dadu River gorge drops to 500-600m. To its right the 3048m high peak of Mao Kou Shan climbed by Ernest Wilson on 3 July 1903. “As seen from the top of Mount Omei, it resembles a huge Noah’s Ark, broadside on, perched high up amongst the clouds” (Wilson 1913, describing Wa Shan floating in the proverbial ‘sea of clouds’). Wa Shan – Emei Shan, a further comparison CHRIS CALLAGHAN of the Australian Bicentennial Arboretum 72 updates his woody plants comparison of Wa Shan and its sister mountain, World Heritage-listed Emei Shan, finding Wa Shan to be deserving of recognition as one of the planet’s top hotspots for biological diversity. The founding fathers of modern day botany in China all trained at western institutions in Europe and America during the early decades of last century. In particular, a number of these eminent Chinese botanists, Qian Songshu (Prof. S. S. Chien), Hu Xiansu (Dr H. H. Hu of Metasequoia fame), Chen Huanyong (Prof. W. Y. Chun, lead author of Cathaya argyrophylla), Zhong Xinxuan (Prof. H. H. Chung) and Prof. Yung Chen, undertook their training at various institutions at Harvard University between 1916 and 1926 before returning home to estab- lish the initial Chinese botanical research institutions, initiate botanical exploration and create the earliest botanical gardens of China (Li 1944). It is not too much to expect that at least some of them would have had personal encounters with Ernest ‘Chinese’ Wilson who was stationed at the Arnold Arboretum of Harvard between 1910 and 1930 for the final 20 years of his life.

  • ABSTRACT ZENG, HAINIAN. Development
    ABSTRACT ZENG, HAINIAN. Development-dependent Formation and Metabolism of Anthocyanins and Proanthocyanidins in Acer Species. (Under the direction of David Danehower, William Hoffmann, Jenny Xiang and De-yu Xie). Anthocyanins are one of the richest pigments, which belong to flavonoid compounds in plant kingdom. They have many biological and ecological functions. Over the past many years, numerous efforts have been made to determine the biosynthetic pathway of anthocyanins and also to identify several regulatory proteins mainly in flowers and fruits of model plants and crop plants. However, many questions concerning the metabolism of anthocyanins in foliage remains unsolved. One example is “How can developmental processes impact on accumulation patterns of anthocyanins in leaves”. In this study, we choose several cultivars from one of the most popular ornamental plants Acer palmatum Thunb. to understand the mechanism of developmental changes of pigmentation in leaf. Several other maple species were also analyzed. We propose that the metabolism of anthocyanins play an essential role in such changes. We use an integrated approach of phytochemistry and metabolic profiling to determine the biosynthesis and metabolism of anthocyanins and their impacts on foliage color. Proanthocyanidin analysis was carried out as well to determine their relationship to both anthocyanin production and foliar coloration. We have found that even for green leaves with no/trace amount of detectable anthocyanins, the biosynthetic pathway of anthocyanidin/proanthocyanidin

  • 2017-4 Winter Newsletter Wespelaar Maple Collection No
    Reprinted from: The Maple Society Newsletter, Winter 2017 Vol 27/4 The Maple Collection at Arboretum Wespelaar, Belgium, with a special focus on some of the newer and rarer additions By Koen Camelbeke, Director, Arboretum Wespelaar It is indeed safe to say that the first dendrological passion of the founder of Arboretum Wespelaar, Philippe de Spoelberch, was for the genus Acer and rightly so! As we all know, this genus is really a joy at all times of year: flowers; new growth; colour and texture of emerging leaves in the Spring; variation in form and colour of leaves in the View across the lake at Arboretum Wespelaar, July 2013. Summer; autumn (Photo: Keith Montgomery) colours from late September to the end of November; and finally, the amazing range of bark textures and general tree habit which grace the winter months. When the Arboretum collection was started in the mid-1980s, the focus was on both botanical diversity as well as on aesthetics, especially focusing on autumn colour and Japanese maples. In the last decade or so, the focus shifted gradually to plants of known wild origin with the aim to present all of the species hardy in Belgium. Belgium is in this respect a wonderful country. Of course, as everywhere else, we also try to grow taxa which are more borderline in our climate, but, speaking of maples, Belgium has an excellent temperate, maritime climate influenced by the North Sea and Atlantic Ocean. Wespelaar is about 130km from the coast which means that our winters are somewhat colder and our summers hotter compared to the west of the country.

  • Acer Cappadocicum Rubrum Red Cappadocian Maple
    Acer cappadocicum Rubrum Red Cappadocian Maple Acer cappadocicum Rubrum is a majestic tree/ shrub that has a neat, round canopy. The 5-lobed leaves are a lovely plum colour at first, turning to green in the summer and gradually turning yellow in the autumn before they drop. Due to is slender branches, Acer cappadocicum Rubrum is ideal for any sunny sheltered position and can often be found in a tree grouping in parklands, as a specimen planting on a large lawn or as an avenue or roadway. Acer cappadocicum Rubrum will generally grow in most soils and as a result of this and the interest it brings to the landscape with its three seasons of colour it has won the RHS award of Garden Merit (AGM).

  • Acer Cappadocicum 'Rubrum'
    AcerAcer cappadocicumcappadocicum 'Rubrum''Rubrum' RubrumRubrum CaucasianCaucasian Maple,Maple, ColiseumColiseum Maple,Maple, CappadocianCappadocian MapleMaple Acer cappadocicum‘Rubrum’ (Rubrum Caucasian Maple, synonym: Acer colchicum‘Rubrum’) was marketed by Baumschule Booth in Germany in 1838. This cultivar was selected for its beautiful leaves that bud red-violet and its red hue that you can still see on the leaves that turn dark green in summer. As a standard or multi-stem tree, the Rubrum Caucasian Maple can reach a height of 15 metres, with a round to wide, egg-shaped, semi-open crown that is up to 9 metres wide. The Rubrum Caucasian Maple is a sight to behold with its decorative leaves that bud in tones of deep red and violet. In the summer, the leaves turn dark green with a red sheen, and its deep golden yellow autumn colours are truly phenomenal. The tree blooms in May with bright yellow standing corymbs. Acer cappadocicum‘Rubrum’ produces a lot of nectar and pollen for bees. Young twigs are dark purple with white stripes; later on, they turn green. In its younger stages, the grey-brown bark has vertical stripes, and in older trees, the bark peels off. Acer cappadocicum ‘Rubrum’ is an elegant tree for avenues and as a solitary tree, it is perfect for parks and large gardens. The species can also be planted in wide streets if there is enough space in the planting area. Furthermore, with its dense branches, the selection is perfect for use as a shade tree. The Rubrum Caucasian Maple is not suitable for use in sealed pavement.
