PETRUK Central Siberian Botanical Garden, Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Novosibirsk, Russia E-mail: [email protected] (Received May 17, 2019; revised July 18, 2019) Abstract Review and analysis of the modern data on the content of phenol compounds in the plants of the Salix L. genus were carried out. The works aimed at the search for cheotaxonomic markers and their application in sys- tematics are presented. It is demonstrated that the qualitative composition of phenol compounds is an invariable, stable sign for the taxons of the Salix genus. Phenol glycosides may be used to identify morphologically similar species and hybrid forms. Special attention is paid to the species that have been the subjects of investigations in different countries: S. babylonica L., S. alba L., S. raddeana Laksch. еx Nasarow, S. caprea L. and S. acutifolia Willd.

The plant lists were created for the first edition of the Manual in 1993 before information was available about invasive qualities of certain recommended plants contained in those lists (Norway Maple, Bradford Pear, etc.). Additionally, diseases and pests have made some other plants undesirable (Ash, Austrian Pine, etc.). The Howard County General Plan 2000 and subsequent environmental and community planning publications such as the Route 1 and Route 40 Manuals and the Green Neighborhood Design Guidelines have promoted the desirability of using native plants in landscape plantings. Therefore, this policy seeks to update the Recommended Plant Lists by identifying invasive plant species and disease or pest ridden plants for their removal and prohibition from further planting in Howard County and to add other available native plants which have desirable characteristics for street tree or general landscape use for inclusion on the Recommended Plant Lists. Please note that a comprehensive review of the street tree and landscape tree lists were conducted for the purpose of this update, however, only

  • Poplars and Willows: Trees for Society and the Environment / Edited by J.G
    Poplars and Willows Trees for Society and the Environment This volume is respectfully dedicated to the memory of Victor Steenackers. Vic, as he was known to his friends, was born in Weelde, Belgium, in 1928. His life was devoted to his family – his wife, Joanna, his 9 children and his 23 grandchildren. His career was devoted to the study and improve- ment of poplars, particularly through poplar breeding. As Director of the Poplar Research Institute at Geraardsbergen, Belgium, he pursued a lifelong scientific interest in poplars and encouraged others to share his passion. As a member of the Executive Committee of the International Poplar Commission for many years, and as its Chair from 1988 to 2000, he was a much-loved mentor and powerful advocate, spreading scientific knowledge of poplars and willows worldwide throughout the many member countries of the IPC. This book is in many ways part of the legacy of Vic Steenackers, many of its contributing authors having learned from his guidance and dedication. Vic Steenackers passed away at Aalst, Belgium, in August 2010, but his work is carried on by others, including mem- bers of his family.

  • Nova Scotia Provincial Status Report on Hoary Willow Salix Candida
    i Nova Scotia Provincial Status Report on Hoary Willow Salix candida Flűeggé ex Willd. prepared for The Nova Scotia Species at Risk Working Group by Ruth E. Newell E.C. Smith Herbarium K.C. Irving Environmental Science Centre Acadia University Wolfville, Nova Scotia B4P 2R6 Funding provided by the Nova Scotia Species at Risk Conservation Fund Submitted December 16th, 2010 ii EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Wildlife Species Description and Significance Salix candida (Hoary Willow) is a low, deciduous, dioecious shrub, densely white woolly on current season’s twigs and lower leaf surfaces. The mature medial leaves are narrowly elliptic or oblanceolate, usually at least 4x as long as wide. Leaf margins are entire and slightly to strongly rolled under. Flowering occurs concurrently with leaf emergence. Female flowers have stalks 0.1 to 1.2 mm long and tomentose pistils. The anthers of male flowers are purple later changing to yellow. The fruit is a tomentose, pear-shaped capsule. Reproduction is both sexual and asexual by layering. Salix candida is an extremely rare species in Nova Scotia occurring in a rare habitat type i.e., rich, calcareous fens or marshes. Distribution In Nova Scotia, Hoary Willow occurs within the Black River system at the northwest end of Lake Ainslie, Inverness County, Cape Breton Island. Here it is known from four rich calcareous fens in close proximity to the river floodplain plus a single plant in a calcareous graminoid marsh. Field work failed to confirm the presence of Salix candida in Huntington, Cape Breton County - a record based on a herbarium specimen from Cape Breton University herbarium.

  • Cultivated Willows Would Not Be Appropriate Without Mention of the ‘WEEPING WILLOW’
    Alexander Robertson Notes on willows cultivated in Scotland and a few sketches of willows sampled from my clonal collection HISTORICAL NOTES Since the knowledge of willows is of great antiquity, it is with the ancient Greeks and Romans we shall begin, for among these people numerous written records remain. The growth habit, ecology, cultivation and utilization of willows was well— understood by Theophrastus, Ovid, Herodotus, Pliny and Dioscorides. Virgil was also quite familiar with willow, e.g. Damoetas complains that: “Galatea, saucy girl, pelts me with apples and then runs off to the willows”. ECLOGIJE III and of foraging bees: “Far and wide they feed on arbutus, pale-green willows, on cassia and ruddy crocus .. .“ GEORGICS IV Theophrastus of Eresos (370—285 B.C.) discussed many aspects of willows throughout his Enquiry into Plants including habitats, wood quality, coppicing and a variety of uses. Willows, according to Theophrastus are lovers of wet places and marshes. But he also notes certain amphibious traits of willows growing in mountains and plains. To Theophrastus they appeared to possess no fruits and quite adequately reproduced themselves from roots, were tolerant to flooding and frequent coppicing. “Even willows grow old and when they are cut, no matter at what height, they shoot up again.” He described the wood as cold, tough, light and resilient—qualities which made it useful for a variety of purposes, especially shields. Such were the diverse virtues of willow that he suggested introducing it for plant husbandry. Theophrastus noted there were many different kinds of willows; three of the best known being black willow (Salix fragilis), white willow (S.

  • Salix L.) in the European Alps
    diversity Review The Evolutionary History, Diversity, and Ecology of Willows (Salix L.) in the European Alps Natascha D. Wagner 1 , Li He 2 and Elvira Hörandl 1,* 1 Department of Systematics, Biodiversity and Evolution of Plants (with Herbarium), University of Goettingen, Untere Karspüle 2, 37073 Göttingen, Germany; [email protected] 2 College of Forestry, Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University, Fuzhou 350002, China; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: The genus Salix (willows), with 33 species, represents the most diverse genus of woody plants in the European Alps. Many species dominate subalpine and alpine types of vegetation. Despite a long history of research on willows, the evolutionary and ecological factors for this species richness are poorly known. Here we will review recent progress in research on phylogenetic relation- ships, evolution, ecology, and speciation in alpine willows. Phylogenomic reconstructions suggest multiple colonization of the Alps, probably from the late Miocene onward, and reject hypotheses of a single radiation. Relatives occur in the Arctic and in temperate Eurasia. Most species are widespread in the European mountain systems or in the European lowlands. Within the Alps, species differ eco- logically according to different elevational zones and habitat preferences. Homoploid hybridization is a frequent process in willows and happens mostly after climatic fluctuations and secondary contact. Breakdown of the ecological crossing barriers of species is followed by introgressive hybridization. Polyploidy is an important speciation mechanism, as 40% of species are polyploid, including the four endemic species of the Alps. Phylogenomic data suggest an allopolyploid origin for all taxa analyzed Citation: Wagner, N.D.; He, L.; so far.

  • Name Clarification: Salix Babylonica L. Vs. S. Matsudana Koidz
    Name clarification: Salix babylonica L. vs. S. matsudana Koidz. Fact Sheet No 4 July 2018 Yulia A. Kuzovkina1 and Irina V. Belyaeva2 1Department of Plant Science and Landscape Architecture, Unit-4067, University of Connecticut, Storrs, CT 06269-4067, USA 2Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Richmond, TW9 3AE, UK The two binominals – S. babylonica L. vs. S. matsudana Koidz. – are frequently used interchangeably in references, scientific publications and catalogs. This discrepancy stems from a difference of opinion on the circumscription or the relationships of the taxa among taxonomists who fall into two camps. In some cases S. matsudana is considered to be the synonym of S. babylonica, and in other cases, these two names denote two different species. Salix babylonica ‘Tortuosa’, dragon’s claw willow or curly willow, an ornamental cultivar with contorted stems. Photo courtesy of M. Dodge, Vermont Willow Nursery. 1 Salix matsudana was described by Koidzumi (1915) referring to the non-weeping taxon from China. This segregation was followed by Rehder (1927, 1940, 1949) who treated “less weeping selections” from China as S. matsudana. Fang et al. (1999), Ohashi (2001) also remarked that the unique characteristics of S. matsudana merit recognition as a distinct species apart from S. babylonica. Another group of botanists, including Skvortsov (1999), Santamour and McArdle (1988) believe that there is little evidence to substantiate the notion of the separation of the two species, and that it is biologically more sensible to regard S. matsudana as synonymous with S. babylonica. In their recent publication Ohashi and Yonekura (2015) regarded S. matsudana as conspecific with S. babylonica and treated it newly as a variety, S .

Due to their high biomass yields, willows are promising sources for bioenergy crops. In this study, we assembled the complete mitochondrial (mt) genome sequence of S. suchowensis with the length of 644,437 bp using Roche-454 GS FLX Titanium sequencing technologies. Base composition of the S. suchowensis mt genome is A (27.43%), T (27.59%), C (22.34%), and G (22.64%), which shows a prevalent GC content with that of other angiosperms. This long circular mt genome encodes 58 unique genes (32 protein-coding genes, 23 tRNA genes and 3 rRNA genes), and 9 of the 32 protein-coding genes contain 17 introns. Through the phylogenetic analysis of 35 species based on 23 protein-coding genes, it is supported that Salix as a sister to Populus. With the detailed phylogenetic information and the identification of phylogenetic position, some ribosomal protein genes and succinate dehydrogenase genes are found usually lost during evolution.
