  • 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. Basal Angiosperms (ANITA grade) Amborellales Amborellaceae, sole family, the earliest branch of flowering plants, a shrub native to New Caledonia – Amborella Nymphaeales Hydatellaceae – aquatics from Australasia, previously classified as a grass Cabombaceae (water shield – Brasenia, fanwort – Cabomba) Nymphaeaceae (water lilies – Nymphaea; pond lilies – Nuphar) Austrobaileyales Schisandraceae (wild sarsaparilla, star vine – Schisandra; Japanese

  • Comparative Anatomy of Ovules in Galinsoga, Solidago and Ratibida (Asteraceae)
    ACTA BIOLOGICA CRACOVIENSIA Series Botanica 56/2: 115–125, 2014 DOI: 10.2478/abcsb-2014-0024 COMPARATIVE ANATOMY OF OVULES IN GALINSOGA, SOLIDAGO AND RATIBIDA (ASTERACEAE) JOLANTA KOLCZYK1, PIOTR STOLARCZYK2, AND BARTOSZ J. PŁACHNO1* 1Department of Plant Cytology and Embryology, Jagiellonian University, Gronostajowa 9, 30-387 Cracow, Poland 2Unit of Botany and Plant Physiology, Institute of Plant Biology and Biotechnology, University of Agriculture in Cracow, Al. 29 Listopada 54, 31-425 Cracow, Poland Manuscript submitted September 9, 2014; revision accepted October 22, 2014 Many Asteraceae species have been introduced into horticulture as ornamental or interesting exotic plants. Some of them, including Solidago and Galinsoga, are now aggressive weeds; others such as Ratibida are not. Special modifications of the ovule tissue and the occurrence of nutritive tissue have been described in several Asteraceae species, including invasive Taraxacum species. This study examined whether such modifications might also occur in other genera. We found that the three genera examined – Galinsoga (G. quadriradiata), Solidago (S. canadensis, S. rigida, S. gigantea) and Ratibida (R. pinnata) – differed in their nutritive tissue structure. According to changes in the integument, we identified three types of ovules in Asteraceae: “Taraxacum” type (recorded in Taraxacum, Bellis, Solidago, Chondrilla), with well-developed nutritive tissue having very swollen cell walls of spongy structure; “Galinsoga” type (in Galinsoga), in which the nutritive tissue cells have more cyto- plasm and thicker cell walls than the other integument parenchyma cells, and in which the most prominent character of the nutritive tissue cells is well-developed rough ER; and “Ratibida” type (in Ratibida), in which the nutritive tissue is only slightly developed and consists of large highly vacuolated cells.

  • Perennial Grain Legume Domestication Phase I: Criteria for Candidate Species Selection

Miller 2,3 1 The Land Institute, 2440 E. Water Well Rd., Salina, KS 67401, USA; [email protected] 2 Saint Louis University Department of Biology, 1008 Spring Ave., St. Louis, MO 63110, USA; [email protected] (C.C.); [email protected] (S.H.); [email protected] (A.J.M.) 3 Missouri Botanical Garden, 4500 Shaw Blvd. St. Louis, MO 63110, USA * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-785-823-5376 Received: 12 February 2018; Accepted: 4 March 2018; Published: 7 March 2018 Abstract: Annual cereal and legume grain production is dependent on inorganic nitrogen (N) and other fertilizers inputs to resupply nutrients lost as harvested grain, via soil erosion/runoff, and by other natural or anthropogenic causes. Temperate-adapted perennial grain legumes, though currently non-existent, might be uniquely situated as crop plants able to provide relief from reliance on synthetic nitrogen while supplying stable yields of highly nutritious seeds in low-input agricultural ecosystems. As such, perennial grain legume breeding and domestication programs are being initiated at The Land Institute (Salina, KS, USA) and elsewhere. This review aims to facilitate the development of those programs by providing criteria for evaluating potential species and in choosing candidates most likely to be domesticated and adopted as herbaceous, perennial, temperate-adapted grain legumes. We outline specific morphological and ecophysiological traits that may influence each candidate’s agronomic potential, the quality of its seeds and the ecosystem services it can provide.

  • Drooping Coneflower Ratibida Pinnata
    drooping coneflower Ratibida pinnata Kingdom: Plantae FEATURES Division: Magnoliophyta The drooping coneflower is also known as the gray- Class: Magnoliopsida headed coneflower, yellow coneflower, weary Susan Order: Asterales or yellow prairie coneflower. This perennial herb’s leaves are deeply divided into lobes. The lower Family: Asteraceae leaves are pinnately compound with three to seven ILLINOIS STATUS leaflets. The upper leaves are sessile or nearly so. Leaves and stems are covered with hairlike common, native structures. Both ray and disk flowers are present in the flower head. The yellow, ray flowers number four to 10. Ray flowers are oriented downward from the center. The dull-colored or gray-green disk in the center of the flower head is twice as tall as it is wide. The one-seeded fruit is dry and hard. The drooping coneflower may attain a height of two to four feet. BEHAVIORS The drooping coneflower may commonly be found in the northern three-fourths of Illinois. It sometimes is seen in the remainder of the state, too. This plant grows in moist prairies. Flowers are produced from July through August. In its early growth stages, the drooping coneflower is an important food source for grazing animals of the prairie. Insects are the primary pollination agent of ILLINOIS RANGE the flowers. © Illinois Department of Natural Resources. 2020. Biodiversity of Illinois.

We support the Convention on Biological Diversity. The seeds offered here are for the use of the common good in the areas of research and development of public gardens and plant collections. They should not be used for commercial profit. If publications result from the use of this material, we expect acknowledgement as the source of the material and an unsolicited reprint of any publication. Missouri Botanical Garden is a member of the International Plant Exchange Network (IPEN). IPEN membership allows for exchange of plant material with other IPEN members without bilateral agreements.
