Eryngium articulatum Hook jointed coyote-thistle Apiaceae - carrot family status: State Possibly Extirpated rank: G5 / SH General Description: Fibrous-rooted perennial from a short, simple crown, 3-10 dm tall, with a bluish waxy coating and widely spreading flower stalks above. Leaves all simple. Basal petioles elongate, hollow, with swollen partitions, often lacking leaf blades. Stem petioles progressively shorter toward the top of the plant until lacking. Stem blades mostly 1-3 cm wide, elliptic, toothed with small spines or with marginal spinelike hairs. Floral Characteristics: Flowers and fruit sessile in a densely head-shaped inflorescence (not umbellate), heads mostly 1-1.5 cm wide. Bracts and calyx lobes bluish-tinged; calyx lobes 3-5 mm long, tapering to a sharp point. Corollas bright blue to purple. Illustration by Jeanne R. Janish, ©1961 University of Washington Fruits: Ovoid, 2-3 mm long, densely covered with scales that Press are textured with a network of small cavities and abruptly tipped by a slender point. Observed in WA late July to late August. Identification Tips: A conspicuous plant, appearing like a blue- to purple-flowered thistle, with a bluish white waxy coating and numerous spines. The only Eryngium in the Pacific Northwest that bears a blue to purple inflorescence. Range: OR and northern CA. Historically from WA and Lake Coeur d'Alene, ID. Habitat/Ecology: An obligate wetland species found on low ground near lakes, often partially submerged. In WA it © Dan Post occurred on flats along streams, in gravelly streambeds, and dried up streams at 700 to 720 m (2340-2360 ft) elevation. Comments: In WA known from 3 historic reports; no individuals have been seen since 1916. Several recent surveys throughout its historic range were unsuccessful in finding extant populations. Grazing and agriculture have altered most of the streams of eastern WA; there may be little appropriate habitat left in the state.

Circumscription and Phylogeny of Apiaceae Subfamily Saniculoideae Based on Chloroplast DNA Sequences
ARTICLE IN PRESS Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution xxx (2007) xxx–xxx www.elsevier.com/locate/ympev Circumscription and phylogeny of Apiaceae subfamily Saniculoideae based on chloroplast DNA sequences Carolina I. Calviño a,b,¤, Stephen R. Downie a a Department of Plant Biology, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Urbana, IL 61801-3707, USA b Instituto de Botánica Darwinion, Buenos Aires, Argentina Received 14 July 2006; revised 3 January 2007; accepted 4 January 2007 Abstract An estimate of phylogenetic relationships within Apiaceae subfamily Saniculoideae was inferred using data from the chloroplast DNA trnQ-trnK 5Ј-exon region to clarify the circumscription of the subfamily and to assess the monophyly of its constituent genera. Ninety- one accessions representing 14 genera and 82 species of Apiaceae were examined, including the genera Steganotaenia, Polemanniopsis, and Lichtensteinia which have been traditionally treated in subfamily Apioideae but determined in recent studies to be more closely related to or included within subfamily Saniculoideae. The trnQ-trnK 5Ј-exon region includes two intergenic spacers heretofore underutilized in molecular systematic studies and the rps16 intron. Analyses of these loci permitted an assessment of the relative utility of these noncoding regions (including the use of indel characters) for phylogenetic study at diVerent hierarchical levels. The use of indels in phylogenetic anal- yses of both combined and partitioned data sets improves resolution of relationships, increases bootstrap support values, and decreases levels of overall homoplasy. Intergeneric relationships derived from maximum parsimony, Bayesian, and maximum likelihood analyses, as well as from maximum parsimony analysis of indel data alone, are fully resolved and consistent with one another and generally very well supported.

Eryngium Yuccifolium A. Michaux Rattlesnake Master (Eryngium Synchaetum)
A. Michaux Eryngium yuccifolium Rattlesnake Master (Eryngium synchaetum) Other Common Names: Button Eryngo, Button Snakeroot. Family: Apiaceae (Umbelliferae). Cold Hardiness: With proper provenances, this species grows in USDA hardiness zones 4 to 9. Foliage: Alternate, simple, yucca-like sword-shapted blue-green foliage clasps stout stems; basal leaves to 30 long, but leaves on flower stalks much shorter; strap-like ½ to 1½ wide, margins toothed on terminal portions becoming spiny at the base; the specific epithet refers to the yucca-like foliage. Flower: Tiny individual fragrant flowers in ¾diameter ball-like clusters in open flattened clusters atop tall flower stalks in late spring to summer; clusters subtended by holly or thistle-leaf like bracts; individual flowers are numerous and tightly packed; greenish white to white flowers have five-petals and two filiform styles. Fruit: Seed heads eventually turn brown and are retained on the plant into winter until stems die back. Stem / Bark: Stems — stout, stiffly erect, somewhat swollen at the nodes; glabrous, green to bluish green; Buds — small; green to blue-green; Bark — not applicable; basal leaves and floral stalks from semi-woody base. Habit: Erect, 3 to 4 (6) tall, sparsely branched herbaceous perennials from a woody base, with the vegetative tissues sort of reminiscent of a cross between an Iris and a Yucca; over time a cluster of foliage forms at the base; the plant's texture is attractively coarse. Cultural Requirements: Sunny sites with moist well drained soils are required; drainage is particularly important as plants are grown in mesic locations, less so in more arid regions; overly fertile soils result in lodging and plants benefit from being surrounded by shorter plants that can lend support to the tall flower stalks; transplant from containers or seed in place as taproots hinder successful transplant; prickly leaves may hinder maintenance activities around the plants.

Harvesting and Drying Flowers
Harvesting Flowers or leaves for drying can be collected throughout the growing season. Consider Harvesting experimenting and collecting plants at different stages of development. For example, some leaves change in and size, color, and texture over the course of a growing season. Harvesting at various times provides more Drying variety. Choose only the best flowers for drying; insect or disease damage is more apparent after flowers have dried. For best results, harvest flowers and leaves when they are free from dew or rain in order to reduce drying time. Place the cut flowers directly into a container of water to keep them as fresh as possible before the drying process begins. Wiring Techniques great way to enjoy flowers all year long is to Flowers that do not have A collect and preserve them for use in dried naturally stiff stems benefit arrangements, on wreaths, or in potpourri.

Indian Journal of Traditional Knowledge Vol. 16 (1), January 2017, pp. 59-67 Spiny coriander (Eryngium foetidum L.) cultivation in the Chittagong Hill Tracts of Bangladesh: Sustainable agricultural innovation by indigenous communities MA Hossain1,*, M Jashimuddin1, TK Nath2 & PO’Reilly3 1Institute of Forestry and Environmental Sciences Chittagong University, Chittagong-4331, Chittagong; 2School of Biosciences, University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus; 3Crops for Future Research Centre, Semenyih, Selangor, Malaysia E-mails: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] Received 25 April 2016, revised 20 June 2016 Spiny coriander (Eryngium foetidum L.) is a shade tolerant plant suited to climatic conditions found in the Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) of Bangladesh and which is intrinsically linked to the culture and traditions of indigenous communities who live in the region. This study, carried out in two villages in the CHT, examined cultivation techniques, productivity, contribution to household income and its role in supporting resilience to climate change. The study adopted a participatory rural appraisal approach; data was collected through focus group discussions, structured interviews and field observation. Sixty five per cent of farmers in the two villages cultivate spiny coriander; the mean plot size was 0.12 ha. The cropping cycle starts in January and continues until October. Production averaged 59, 219 kg per hectare with a net benefit of about US$51,212/ha/yr. Eighty six percent of farmers who cultivate the crop do so solely for the purposes of income generation. Good market demand for the crop means that farmers obtain substantial economic benefit from its cultivation.

Culantro: a Much Utilized, Little Understood Herb
Reprinted from: Perspectives on new crops and new uses. 1999. J. Janick (ed.), ASHS Press, Alexandria, VA. Culantro: A Much Utilized, Little Understood Herb Christopher Ramcharan Culantro (Eryngium foetidum L., Apiaceae) is a biennial herb indigenous to continental Tropical America and the West Indies. Although widely used in dishes throughout the Caribbean, Latin America, and the Far East, culantro is relatively unknown in the United States and many other parts of the world and is often mis- taken and misnamed for its close relative cilantro or coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.). Some of its common names descriptive of the plant include: spiny or serrated coriander, shado beni and bhandhania (Trinidad and Tobago), chadron benee (Dominica), coulante (Haiti), recao (Puerto Rico), and fit weed (Guyana). Culantro grows naturally in shaded moist heavy soils near cultivated areas. Under cultivation, the plant thrives best under well irrigated shaded conditions. Like its close relative cilantro, culantro tends to bolt and flower profusely under hot high-light long days of summer months. Recent research at UVIAES has demon- strated that it can be kept in a vegetative mode through summer when treated with GA3 sprays. The plant is reportedly rich in calcium, iron, carotene, and riboflavin and its harvested leaves are widely used as a food flavoring and seasoning herb for meat and many other foods. Its medicinal value include its use as a tea for flu, diabetes, constipation, and fevers. One of its most popular use is in chutneys as an appetite stimulant. The name fitweed is derived from its supposedly anti-convulsant property. The presence of in- creasingly large West Indian, Latin American, and Asian immigrant communities in metropolises of the US, Canada and the UK.
