  • 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.

ABSTRACT Family Asteraceae is considered one of the largest medicinally important families which includes valuable members economically and therapeutically. Secondary metabolites mainly flavonoids, sesquiterpene lactones, triterpenoids besides volatile oils are among the active principles reported in this family. Concerning the genus Felicia , no enough data is available in literature about it's phytoconstituents, in spite of its common traditional use in several areas of the world especially South Africa. The aim of the review is to provide collective and updated information about this genus including its taxonomy, description, active principles, ethno-pharmacology and pharmacological uses. We mainly aim to encourage researchers to discover this genus, particularly those species whose phytoconstituents and biological activities have not been explored until now.

  • Kirstenbosch NBG List of Plants That Provide Food for Honey Bees
    Indigenous South African Plants that Provide Food for Honey Bees Honey bees feed on nectar (carbohydrates) and pollen (protein) from a wide variety of flowering plants. While the honey bee forages for nectar and pollen, it transfers pollen from one flower to another, providing the service of pollination, which allows the plant to reproduce. However, bees don’t pollinate all flowers that they visit. This list is based on observations of bees visiting flowers in Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden, and on a variety of references, in particular the following: Plant of the Week articles on www.PlantZAfrica.com Johannsmeier, M.F. 2005. Beeplants of the South-Western Cape, Nectar and pollen sources of honeybees (revised and expanded). Plant Protection Research Institute Handbook No. 17.

  • Invasive Plant Species in Lesotho's Rangelands: Species Characterization and Potential Control Measures
    Land Restoration Training Programme Keldnaholt, 112 Reykjavik, Iceland Final project 2016 INVASIVE PLANT SPECIES IN LESOTHO'S RANGELANDS: SPECIES CHARACTERIZATION AND POTENTIAL CONTROL MEASURES Malipholo Eleanor Hae Ministry of Forestry, Range and Soil Conservation P.O. Box 92 Maseru Lesotho Supervisors Prof. Ása L. Aradóttir Agricultural University of Iceland [email protected] Dr. Jόhann Thόrsson Soil Conservation Service of Iceland [email protected] ABSTRACT Lesotho is experiencing rangeland degradation manifested by invasive plants including Chrysochoma ciliata, Seriphium plumosum, Helichrysum splendidum, Felicia filifolia and Relhania dieterlenii. This threatens the country’s wool and mohair enterprise and the Lesotho Highland Water Project which contributes significantly to the economy. A literature review- based study using databases, journals, books, reports and general Google searches was undertaken to determine species characteristics responsible for invasion success. Generally, invasive plants are alien species, but Lesotho invaders are native as they are traced back to the 1700s. New cropping systems, high fire incidence and overgrazing initiated the process of invasion. The invaders possess inherent characteristics such as high reproduction capacity associated with a long flowering period that ranges between 3-5 months. They are perennial, belong to the Asteraceae family and therefore have small seeds with adaptation structures that allow them to be carried long distances by wind. These invaders are able to withstand harsh environmental conditions. Some are allelopathic, have an aggressive root system that efficiently uses soil resources. As opposed to preferred rangeland plants, they are able to colonize bare ground. Additionally, F. filifolia and R. dieterlenii are fire tolerant while H. splendidum and S.

  • Apomixis in the Asteraceae: Diamonds in the Rough
    Functional Plant Science and Biotechnology ©2007 Global Science Books Apomixis in the Asteraceae: Diamonds in the Rough Richard D. Noyes University of Central Arkansas, Conway, Arkansas 72035, USA Correspondence : [email protected] ABSTRACT The Asteraceae is commonly listed, along with Poaceae and Rosaceae, as one of the principal families within which asexual reproduction by seed, i.e., apomixis, is prolific. A review of the literature indicates that naturally occurring apomixis is robustly indicated for 22 genera in seven tribes of Asteraceae (Lactuceae, Gnaphalieae, Astereae, Inuleae, Heliantheae, Madieae, and Eupatorieae), all but one of which occurs in the subfamily Asteroideae. Apomixis has been proposed for an additional 46 genera. However, consideration of the evidence indicates that the trait is contra-indicated for 30 of these cases in which developmental abnormalities or components of apomixis are recorded for otherwise sexual taxa. Accumulation and perpetuation of these reports through generations of reviews has inflated the actual number of genera in which apomictic reproduction occurs in the family. Data are strongly indicative or equivocal for effective apomixis for the remaining 16 genera, but thorough documentation is wanting. Our state of knowledge of apomixis in the Asteraceae is generally poor. Interpreting the phylogenetic distribution and evolution of the trait in the family will require systematic effort involving cytological documentation and genetic analysis of reproduction for many candidate genera. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

  • Patterns of Endemism in the Limestone Flora of South African Lowland Fynbos

WILLIS Botany Department, University of Venda, Private Bag X5050, Thohoyandou, South Africa RICHARD M. COWLING* Institute for Plant Conservation, Botany Department, University of Cape Town, Rondebosch 7700, South Africa AMANDA T. LOMBARD FitzPatrick Institute, University of Cape Town, Rondebosch 7700, South Africa Received 15 November 1994; revised and accepted 8 February 1995 Taxonomic and biological aspects of endemism and Red Data Book status were studied amongst the limestone endemics of the lowland fynbos in the Cape Floristic Region, South Africa. Of the 110 limestone endemics, 1.8% are widely distributed in the Cape Floristic Region and 56.4% are regional endemics. Relative to flora of non-limestone lowland fynbos (n = 538 species), the families which were overrepresented in terms of limestone endemics included the Ericaceae, Fabaceae, Polygalaceae, Rutaceae and Sterculiaceae. The Restionaceae was the only underrepresented family. The local limestone endemics were not significantly different from regional endemics in terms of their biological attributes. An analysis of the frequency of the biological traits associated with the limestone-endemic flora established a biological profile for a limestone endemic: a dwarf-to-low shrub with soil-stored seeds which are ant or wind dispersed. In terms of the species richness of limestone endemics, the De Hoop Nature Reserve was the ‘hotspot’ within the region. Relative to the total species richness, the Hagelkraal and Stilbaai areas contained higher-than-predicted numbers of rare species.

  • “Deer Resistant” Plant Guide
    Orchard Gro-Sheet #0 “Deer Resistant” Plant Guide Deer, like all animals, have certain food preferences and dislikes. Home gardeners living near deer habitat can often take advantage of this fact by using deer- resistant plants for ornamental planting. The use of deer-resistant plants to minimize damage from browsing has a number of advantages for the home gardener. Perhaps the principal advantages over the more conventional methods of deer-damage control are those of economy and beauty. High deer fences are unsightly and expensive, and noise or odor repellants are often out of place on home grounds. But, deer-resistant plants can be pleasing to the eye and to the pocket book: they provide their own protec- tion and when properly chosen and landscaped, produce excellent results for the home gardener. Resistance of the plant to deer is related to the availability of other food. If there is an adequate supply of natural browse in the deer’s usual feeding ground, the gardener’s ornamental plantings may be largely untouched; if natural food supplies are low, there will be an increased browsing in domestic gardens; if there is an extreme shortage of natural food, few if any plant species are totally resistant to deer. A heavy deer population also increases competition for food, with the result that plants relatively unpalatable in an area where deer are not numerous will be readily browsed in an area where deer abound. Various factors can make a plant resistant to deer. Many of the most resistant plants (such as Oleander) are poisonous, some at all times and others only at certain stages of growth.
