Torchlily Kniphofia uvaria Plant Height: 3 feet Flower Height: 4 feet Spread: 24 inches Spacing: 22 inches Sunlight: Hardiness Zone: 5 Other Names: Red-hot Poker, Flame Flower, Tritoma Description: Hummingbirds love the beautiful yellow and red colored bottlebrush type Torchlily flowers flowers; the blooms rise from grassy, evergreen foliage in midsummer to Photo courtesy of NetPS Plant Finder create an unusual yet brilliant border planting; makes a great cutflower Ornamental Features Torchlily features bold spikes of red tubular flowers with yellow overtones and green throats at the ends of the stems from mid to late summer. The flowers are excellent for cutting. Its grassy leaves remain green in color throughout the year. The fruit is not ornamentally significant. Landscape Attributes Torchlily is an open herbaceous evergreen perennial with tall flower stalks held atop a low mound of foliage. Its relatively fine texture sets it apart from other garden plants with less refined foliage. This is a relatively low maintenance plant, and is best cleaned up in early spring before it resumes active growth for the season. It is a good choice for attracting butterflies and hummingbirds to your yard, but is not particularly attractive to deer who tend to leave it alone in favor of tastier treats. It has no significant negative characteristics. Torchlily is recommended for the following landscape applications; - Accent - Mass Planting - General Garden Use Planting & Growing Torchlily will grow to be about 3 feet tall at maturity extending to 4 feet tall with the flowers, with a spread of 24 inches. When grown in masses or used as a bedding plant, individual plants should be spaced approximately 22 inches apart. It grows at a medium rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 10 years. This plant does best in full sun to partial shade. It prefers dry to average moisture levels with very well-drained soil, and will often die in standing water. It is not particular as to soil pH, but grows best in sandy soils. It is somewhat tolerant of urban pollution. This species is not originally from North America. It can be propagated by division..

Motuora Native Species Restoration Plan
Motuora Native Species Restoration Plan JUNE 2007 Motuora Native Species Restoration Plan By Robin Gardner-Gee, Sharen Graham, Richard Griffiths, Melinda Habgood, Shelley Heiss Dunlop and Helen Lindsay MOTUORA RESTORATION SOCIETY (INC) PO Box 100-132, NSMC, Auckland. Foreward Deciding to write a Restoration Plan for Motuora was a huge undertaking for a voluntary group, especially since most of those whose help we needed already had busy lives. The project required surveys on the island to establish what plants and animals were already there, followed by much discussion and the writing of the various sections. These sections then had to be edited to make a unified whole. This document could not have been written without the enthusiasm, knowledge, and commitment of a group of keen environmentalists who put in long hours to produce the Restoration Plan. The Motuora Restoration Society thanks the many people and organizations who have provided information, advice and comment on this document. Particular thanks to: Robin Gardner-Gee for her invertebrate knowledge Sharen Graham for her bird knowledge Richard Griffiths for pulling the document together to present an overview of the whole island ecology Melinda Habgood for her reptile knowledge Shelley Heiss-Dunlop for her plant knowledge Helen Lindsay for her input into the plant section and for co-ordinating the project especially in the beginning Te Ngahere Native Forest Management for supporting this project Department of Conservation staff for support and encouragement. The Motuora Restoration Society thanks you all for your generosity in sharing your learning and experience. Ray Lowe Chairman Motuora Restoration Society i ii Executive Summary Motuora is an 80 hectare island in the Hauraki Gulf to the south of Kawau Island.

Fire Resistance of Plants Master Database and Placement Of
Fire Resistance of Plants Master Database & Placement of Species Within Firewise Landscape Zones For Southern Idaho Idaho residents who live in or near the urban/rangeland interface endure higher risk for fire-related property damage, as well as greater peril to their families, pets and livestock. Understanding those risks and making changes in landscaping techniques can help keep rangeland fires from becoming disasters at home. The figure below shows a Firewise Landscape Design using a progression of "Zones". This Database has been developed as tool for homeowners, property managers and the landscape nursery industry to utilize for plant species and placement choices within a Firewise Landscape using the Zone concept shown above. As a cooperative project with the Bureau of Land Management, the College of Western Idaho Horticulture and the Idaho Botanical Garden, extensive research and testing of over 400 species and cultivars are included in this database and summarize a list of species suggested for each Firewise Landscape Zone. Plant species have been organized by plant type from more fire resistant to less fire resistant as shown above.

Hutchinson (Agavales) Vs. Huber Y Dahlgren (Asparagales)
Boletín de la Sociedad Botánica de México 56: 45-56, 1995 DOI: 10.17129/botsci.1463 Bol. Soc. Bot. México 56: 45-56 (1995) Hutchinson (Agavales) vs. Huber y Dahlgren (Asparagales): análisis moleculares sobre la filogenia y evolución de la familia Agavaceae sensu Hutchinson dentro de las monocotiledóneas LUIS E. EGUIARTE Departamento de Ecología Evolutiva, Centro de Ecología, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Apartado Postal 70-275, C.P. 04510, D.F., México. Resumen: Para explorar diferentes ideas sobre la filogenia de las monocotiledóneas, y en particular sobre las Agavaceae se ns u Hutchinson (1934, 1959) y su relación con grupos emparentados dentro de las Asparagales, se analizó la secuencia de ADN del gen del cloroplasto rbcL para 134 especies (118 monocotiledóneas, empleando 16 dicotiledóneas paleohierbas como grupo externo). Se llevaron a cabo análisis de parsimonia utilizando métodos de distancia (neighbor-joining y UPGMA) y de máxima verosimilitud. Las filogenias muestran que Acorus calamus es la representante actual más cercana a las monocotiledóneas ancestrales. Los diferentes análisis identifican tres principales linajes evolutivos en las Agavaceae sensu Hutchinson: 1) El de las Agavaceae sensu stricto (Agave, Man/reda, Beschon ~ eria, Hesperaloe y Yucca), Hasta (Funkiaceae) y Chlorophytum (Anthericaceae). 2) El grupo que incluye a las Nolinaceae (Nolina, Beaucarnea y Dasylirion), a Sansevieria (Dracaenaceae) y a Danae (Rúscaceae). 3) El formado por las Asphodelaceae (Aloe, Haworthia y Kniphofia) y Dianella (Phormiaceae). Estos linajes contienen a la mayoría de las Asparagales tal como fueron definidas por Huber (1969) y Dahlgren et al. (1985). También se estimó un reloj molecular para obtener las fechas de divergencia entre los grupos relacionados con las Agavaceae.

Divergence Time Estimation of Aloes and Allies (Xanthorrhoeaceae) Based on Three Marker Genes

Box 524, Auckland Park 2006, South Africa; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +98-912-839-7341 Received: 2 January 2018; Accepted: 29 June 2018; Published: 10 July 2018 Abstract: Aloes and allies are prominent members of African succulent vegetation and especially of the highly diverse Cape Flora. The main goal of this study was to obtain age estimates for alooids by calibrating a Bayesian phylogenetic analysis based on two chloroplast markers (the trnL-trnF spacer region and rbcL gene) and one gene marker (ITS) using a relaxed molecular clock. Seventy four species from all succulent genera of alooids were analysed with MrBayes to infer species relationships. We discuss the age estimates to address the question whether vicariance or dispersal could account for the diversiﬁcation of Madagascan alooids. In the combined maximum clade credibility tree obtained from BEAST the succulent alooids have split from asphodeloids around 51.8 Mya in Early Miocene. Divergence time age estimation for succulent drought resistant alooids (late Oligocene to early Miocene) correspond well with dates identiﬁed for several other plant lineages in southern Africa and does match with the start of dry period in Miocene which triggered speciation and evolutionary radiation of these genera and families.
