Over the basal length of the aerial shoot it thins in American herb inhabiting a range of forested situations. diameter to a fragile connection with the tuber (found in In the northeast, it frequents deciduous and mixed some other spring ephemeral species; e.g., Claytonia evergreen-deciduous types, often in association with caroliniana , Eythronium americanum ).

Save for new species of Panax, the underground storage organs are genus erected for North American members of ginseng elongate, and frequently branched, roots (Figure 2).

This article discusses the contrasting morphological, ecological, structural, and phylogenetic data that support this plant being placed in a genus distinct from Panax . Panax trifolius differs substantially from all other members of the genus (as previously circumscribed) in a number of traits. Its habit and phenology are useful starting points in the discussion of differences between this small herb and other species of Panax .

Journal of Agricultural Technology 8(3): 1109-1118. Water hyacinth Eichhornia crassipes (Pontederiaceae, Liliales) is a floating aquatic weed and the world most harmful weed because of its negative effects on waterways and people’s livelihood. Efforts made to combat the water hyacinth problems were not at all successful. It is against this backdrop that the experiment was conducted to evaluate the responses of water hyacinth manure (WHM) on the growth and yield of Celosia argentea (Lagos spinach) at the Teaching and Research Farms of Lagos State Polytechnic, Ikorodu in 2011 cropping season. There were 3 treatments replicated 3 times: 1.32kg/plot (30g/plant); 2.64 kg/plot (60g/plant) and control treatment with no water hyacinth manure application. Treatments were compared on the basis of number of leaves, plant height, stem girth before and 3 weeks after manure application and yield at maturation. The results revealed that application of water hyacinth manure significantly influenced the growth and yield of C.

Pontederia Cordata L.)
INHERITANCE OF MORPHOLOGICAL CHARACTERS OF PICKERELWEED (Pontederia cordata L.) By LYN ANNE GETTYS A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2005 Copyright 2005 by Lyn Anne Gettys ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank Dr. David Wofford for his guidance, encouragement and support throughout my course of study. Dr. Wofford provided me with laboratory and greenhouse space, technical and financial support, copious amounts of coffee and valuable insight regarding how to survive life in academia. I would also like to thank Dr. David Sutton for his advice and support throughout my program. Dr. Sutton supplied plant material, computer resources, career advice, financial support and a long-coveted copy of Gray’s Manual of Botany. Special thanks are in order for my advisory committee. Dr. Paul Pfahler was an invaluable resource and provided me with laboratory equipment and supplies, technical advice and more lunches at the Swamp than I can count. Dr. Michael Kane contributed samples of his extensive collection of diverse genotypes of pickerelweed to my program. Dr. Paul Lyrene generously allowed me to take up residence in his greenhouse when my plants threatened to overtake all of Gainesville. My program could not have been a success without the help of Dr. Van Waddill, who provided significant financial support to my project. I appreciate the generosity of Dr. Kim Moore and Dr. Tim Broschat, who allowed me to use their large screenhouses during my tenure at the Fort Lauderdale Research and Education Center.
