' Please read OROC terms at cultivar.org before attempting use of this material. CULTIVAR.ORG Editor's Note: this is working copy of OROC Book VIII, covering all genera of woody plant cultivar registrations in our system from OROC's inception in 2015 to present. In general, we are accepting cultivars from 2013 onward if they have not been published in a reference manual. This is a review copy for our subscribers and partners. It is not a finished, complete work. It is however a useful interim reference and is intended to assist authors and educators of all types to communicate new cultivar data. We also know that many curators, private collectors, growers, and breeders now use the OROC system to seek out and acquire new germplasm as well as measure the strengths of their own introductions. OROC has been a wonderful success and worth all the long hours, funds, and early frustrations. More than 58,000 unique visitors from 121 countries have looked at the OROC registers online (Google Play Books and Cultivar.org) and we cannot of course count the number of offline views from downloaded copies. Please get a copy or two and share with your friends, students, coworkers, clients, and anyone else who loves the best ornamentals on earth. It is 100% free and designed to be a powerful educational tool in the public and private interest. The finished Book V in Version 5.2 was completed on May 11, 2017 and considered a stable, finished document suitable for citation as follows: Hatch, L.C. (General Editor) and M. Summers. 2017.

The recently revised Trademark Policy (Principle 20) is being evaluated worldwide by many parties as a useful document in the handling of complex trademark vs. cultivar situations. INTRODUCTION: We have endeavored to produce as accurate and useful descriptions as possible based on all available information on these new and often very rare cultivars. This registry is never finished so if you know more (and can document it) please contact us at [email protected] with OROC in your subject line. Where no descriptions are placed please rely on the under URL link to view the originator's or a major vendor's description. Your data submissions today will make those free books happen. Thank you in advance. Before I ramble on...OROC is not pronounced like a popular, light weight, hotel lobby vacuum cleaner but as "Oh-rock" something like the snazzy and garish lime green or orange IROC Chevy Camero you or your dad may have had in high school. If you're a Millennial...Google IROC before your phone catches fire. Hope that helps. We hope to rock. We wish we could delay publication until every last detail of every cultivar was nailed down, vouchered, taxonomically perfect, sealed in plexiglass domes for all time, DNA fingerprinted, placed in foirty-six reference LEED Gold certified Green collections, and otherwise documented to near perfection. But at some point, you just need to release the data to our highly knowledgeable readership and get feedback, moving on to the next register while hoping to improve this one every single day and week. This is preliminary data and that is what people tell us they want. If this book is too "quick and dirty" for you please write the ISHS and ask if their registrars are doing better with these taxa and when to expect a free woody plant registry with more than 0.1% of all new cultivars. CULTIVAR.ORG Kudos cubed to both Marks, Janice, Little Lisa, Max K., and Lloyd for helping beyond measure, fixing my mistakes, and being data magnets and skilled writers. More than 100 people sent data and we thank you for helping nurture and foster this passionate, niche community. That sounds horrible. We just...thank you. When OROC published Book I we received many favorable comments and we are still delighted by a steady flow of Google Play Books and Cultivar.org downloads on a regular basis. It's still 100% free and always will be as long as I have breath. It turns out Book I was a slightly depressing experience for some folks. "I had no idea..." and "I'm so behind...out of touch" was emailed a time or twenty. One experienced guru used the term "shock and awe". The frightful and yet exciting tsunamic volume of cultivar knowledge today is humbling to everyone unless we're individually spending 500 hours a year seeking it out and devouring it in big bites on a daily basis with near religious furvor. We went from sad to glad, dumb to slightly informed, in the space of weeks. OROC is abstracting stuff...1000 hours a year if required. Some wise collectors, breeders, plant materials experts, students, designers, directors of this or that, consultants, big growers, plant people of all shapes and sizes, curators, taxonomists, gurus, future gurus, and otherwise well connected plant people did not know about a large percentage of the plants we registered. Neither did I. So maybe this remains a good idea. If this Book makes you or me feel more eager to learn and click, empowered, charged up, ready to dig up more of your lawn for planting beds, crazy and insane to acquire some new cool plants, happy about the general state of gardening universe, loving those devoted plant breeders, bringing your students up to pace, and with a vast new knowledge base, we at OROC have done our job. If we went "above and beyond" and we knocked your socks over to the next county, please write. If we didn't - also please write and tell us how to get better. Better yet...join us. OROC Certified Cultivar Registers must study, read entire volumes and many articles, and pass a rigorous exam regardless of previous formal education and background. Tell us what you think because we truly care. - Larry Hatch Chief Registrar and General Editor www.cultivar.org [email protected] New Cultivars from Book VIII: Version 8.0 and 8.1 Registration is pending for all these items and they will be assigned OROC numbers and alphabetized with the existing registrations below from Book V when this process is complete.

    A PRELIMINARY SURVEY OF PLANT DISTRIBUTION IN OHIO.* JOHN H. SCHAFFNER. The following data are presented as a preliminary basis for field work in determining the natural plant areas of Ohio. It is hoped that the botanists of the State will begin active study of local conditions with a view to determine natural or transition boundaries as well as cataloging local associations. The distri- bution lists are based on herbarium material and more than 15 years of sporadic botanizing in the state. Of course, distribution at present indicates to a considerable extent merely the distri- bution of enthusiastic botanists and their favorite collecting grounds. Nevertheless, enough has been done to indicate in a rough way the general character of our plant geography. The kind of data most important in indicating characteristic areas are as follows:— 1. Meteorological data. 2. Geology, including the nature of the surface rock and soil. 3. Physiography and topography. 4. The actual distribution of characteristic species of plants and to some extent of animals. In Ohio, the following important maps may be studied in this connection:— Meteorology. By Otto E.

Kramer, 3 and Elizabeth A. Zimmer 4 Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology, Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02138 USA Petaloid organs are a major component of the fl oral diversity observed across nearly all major clades of angiosperms. The vari- able morphology and development of these organs has led to the hypothesis that they are not homologous but, rather, have evolved multiple times. A particularly notable example of petal diversity, and potential homoplasy, is found within the order Ranunculales, exemplifi ed by families such as Ranunculaceae, Berberidaceae, and Papaveraceae. To investigate the molecular basis of petal identity in Ranunculales, we used a combination of molecular phylogenetics and gene expression analysis to characterize APETALA3 (AP3 ) and PISTILLATA (PI ) homologs from a total of 13 representative genera of the order. One of the most striking results of this study is that expression of orthologs of a single AP3 lineage is consistently petal-specifi c across both Ranunculaceae and Berberidaceae. We conclude from this fi nding that these supposedly homoplastic petals in fact share a developmental genetic program that appears to have been present in the common ancestor of the two families. We discuss the implications of this type of molecular data for long-held typological defi nitions of petals and, more broadly, the evolution of petaloid organs across the angiosperms. Key words: APETALA3 ; MADS box genes; petal evolution; PISTILLATA ; Ranunculales.

This is an inventory of the vascular alien flora of Catalonia (northeastern Iberian Peninsula, Spain) updated to 2018, representing 1068 alien taxa in total. 554 (52.0%) out of them are casual and 514 (48.0%) are established. 87 taxa (8.1% of the total number and 16.8 % of those established) show an invasive behaviour. The geographic zone with more alien plants is the most anthropogenic maritime area. However, the differences among regions decrease when the degree of naturalization of taxa increases and the number of invaders is very similar in all sectors. Only 26.2% of the taxa are more or less abundant, while the rest are rare or they have vanished. The alien flora is represented by 115 families, 87 out of them include naturalised species. The most diverse genera are Opuntia (20 taxa), Amaranthus (18 taxa) and Solanum (15 taxa). Most of the alien plants have been introduced since the beginning of the twentieth century (70.7%), with a strong increase since 1970 (50.3% of the total number). Almost two thirds of alien taxa have their origin in Euro-Mediterranean area and America, while 24.6% come from other geographical areas. The taxa originated in cultivation represent 9.5%, whereas spontaneous hybrids only 1.2%. From the temporal point of view, the rate of Euro-Mediterranean taxa shows a progressive reduction parallel to an increase of those of other origins, which have reached 73.2% of introductions during the last 50 years.

  • Apple Anna, 200 Chill Hours Temperate Fruit Dorsett Golden

    Apple Anna, 200 Chill Hours Temperate Fruit Dorsett Golden

    Temperate Fruit Apple Anna, 200 chill hours Anna apple is a dual purpose apple that is very early ripening and does well in warm climates. Anna was bred by Abba Stein at the Ein Shemer kibbutz in Israel, in order to achieve a Golden Delicious-like apple, that can be cultivated in nearly tropical areas. Sweet, crisp, ripens in late June. Excellent for eating or cooking Dorsett Golden, 100 chill hours Golden Dorsett produces a medium sized, firm, and sweet apple perfect for eating fresh off the tree. The apples, a soft yellow with a pink blush, ripen in late June or July, and after picked, they can be kept for two weeks if refrigerated. The Golden Dorsett is perfect for Gulf Coast planting. Ein Shemer, 250 chill hours The Ein Shemer Apple produces a pale yellow, medium-sized apple. The apple's sweet, semi-acidic taste is perfect for eating right off the tree or for making into applesauce or pie. At maturity, the Ein Shemer apple can reach a height and width of 12-15 feet. Ripe in July. Fuji, 250-350 chill hours Crisp and sweet, ripens in June, the Fuji apple is a small to medium size fruit with a reddish pink over yellow appearance. Apple trees require well drained soil but will grow in clay or sandy soil. Multi-graft Apple 7 gallon (FBMG does not know yet if we will receive these. Will update soon.) Two or more varieties grafted onto one rootstock. These specimens are perfect for smaller gardens where a variety of flavors and an extended harvest season is desired.
