  • Shrubs and Vines for the Leventritt Garden
    Sun-Loving Shrubs and Vines for the Leventritt Garden Peter Del Tredici, Michael Dosmann, Tom Ward, and julie Coop The position of the shrub is distinctly secondary, and the burden of the inferior race is upon it. A tree may be valued for what it is, but a shrub is rated for just what it can do. It must render a service to compensate for its cultivation. This service may be one of beauty, through its flowers; or of use, by its fruit; or its foliage or habit of growth may be especially attractive, or of such a nature as will give it value as a shield or a cover for waste and barren places. -Harriet Keeler, Our Native Trees and How to Identify Them,1900 he Leventritt Garden adds a new compo- Criteria for Horticultural Display to the Arboretum’s collections-a MULTISEASONALITY.

We performed molecular phylogenetic analyses for Enkianthus species of Japan, using nuclear ITS, chloroplast matK with trnK intron, and trnS-trnG spacer regions. The result suggested that Enkianthus was separated into two groups; i.e., sect. Enkianthus with umbellate inflorescences and a clade of sect. Andromedina, sect. Enkiantella and sect. Meisteria with race- mose inflorescences. It also inferred that the ancestral Enkianthus seems likely to be shrubs with tubular or urceolate corollas and 4–5-apertured pollen, whereas the more derived species may pos- sess campanulate corollas and 3-apertured pollen.

The genus Rhododendron and Enkianthus are belonging the Ericaceae family. In Vietnam there have diversified with 12 genera and about 90 species, of which more rhododendrons 30 species with beautiful flowers and two of Enkianthus species, widely distributed across the regions of the country. In this study, twelve Vietnamese native Rhododendron and Enkianthus species collected from Quang Ninh province were identified based on sequences of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions of nuclear ribosomal DNA. Comparison on sequencing among 12 Vietnamese native Rhododendron and Enkianthus with world's Rhododendron and Enkianthus species, we have determined the accurate same pattern the 5/10 species by recognition molecule forms such as DQ2, DQ5, DQ6, DQ7, DQ8 and five species as DQ1, DQ9, DQ10, DQ11 and DQ12 were determined in genus Rhododendron species.
