  • Hortax Presentation
    HORTAX CULTIVATED PLANT TAXONOMY GROUP Muddles and misapplications: taxonomic difficulties associated with bamboos in cultivation Chris Stapleton bamboo-identification.co.uk formerly: University of Aberdeen Forestry Department Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh Royal Botanic Gardens Kew Presentation roughly as given in 2015, updated a little in 2021. Here I illustrate the problem – multiple names in the UK for the same cultivated plant. Genus, species & cultivar names all varying on displayed and marketed plants. All these are the same species. To decide which name is correct Steve Renvoize & I had to go as far as conserving a species name in the journal Taxon. The genus Pleioblastus is considered appropriate on the grounds of morphology and molecular data. In that genus it is now correctly called Pleioblastus viridistriatus, but you will still see these other names around. Popping in to Tesco’s, I saw a nice little bamboo plant on the stands outside. It had an authoritative label, saying Fountain Bamboo. It is not Fountain Bamboo, which is Fargesia nitida. On the back it says Fargesia rufa, which it also is not. It is actually Fargesia dracocephala ‘Rufa’, Dragon-head Bamboo. It also says it comes from the mountains of western China, while in fact it comes from Central China, but that is not so important as getting the name so wrong. How have we got into this position in Europe? This disinformation would not happen in the US, where we have verified and standardised bamboo names for most of the horticulturally available bamboos. Stapleton, C. M. A. & Renvoize, S. A. (2001). Proposal to conserve the name Bambusa viridistriata Siebold ex André (Poaceae, Bambusoideae).

Melnychenko and Todd N. Rosenstiel Department of Biology, Portland State University 1719 SW 10th Ave, Portland, OR 97201 USA ABSTRACT Emissions of biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) from plant leaves play significant roles in biological and atmospheric processes. BVOCs emissions can involve a diverse number of compounds and are an important method of plant signaling. However, some emissions of volatile compounds can negatively impact air quality at a regional scale. In order to better understand the role of BVOCs in plant physiology and chemical ecology, and to better predict how these emissions may alter air quality, the underlying relationships between these diverse compounds must be addressed.

  • 1 503-647-2700 Front Page- Need Hi
    front page- need Hi res closeup www.bamboogarden.com 1 503-647-2700 Forward by Ted Meredith Bamboo Garden is very special. Founded in 1984, Bamboo Garden has a diverse collection of more than 300 bamboo species and forms on 20 pastoral acres near North Plains, Oregon. Here mature bamboo groves are cast in a beautiful natural setting of rolling hills, ponds, mountain stream, and wooded backdrop. Customers of the nursery are offered golf cart tours of the extensive grounds. Europe has a number of splendid bamboo gardens, and a few very famous ones that are connected with a bamboo nursery, where one can see many species of bamboo in mature natural groves and then have the opportunity to purchase the same bamboos for one’s own garden. America now has an equivalent in the Bamboo Garden. Owner Ned Jaquith, an ardent bamboo enthusiast, has introduced countless people to the world of bamboo and served as a mentor to countless more---myself included. Nothing seems to please Ned more than introducing another person to bamboo. His welcom- ing enthusiasm carries through to the Bamboo Gar- den’s knowledgeable staff, who are adept at discuss- ing bamboos with experts and novices alike. Nursery manager Noah Bell oversees the operation, includ- ing nursery, office, and sales. Maintenance foreman Reveriano Ramirez directs bamboo propagation and care. Bamboo Garden is an impressive operation with many fine people in key roles working to make it so. Like Bamboo Garden, the Bamboo Garden catalog is something special too. The bamboos are beautifully photographed and described (Noah and Ned did most of the photography themselves) with clear illustra- tions that show how to maintain bamboo (credit to Charissa Brock for illustrations and layout design) .

I especially wish to thank him for his patience in editing and helping me improve my writing skills. It is because of him that I now write so good! I also wish to acknowledge my other committee members, Al Black and Rick Gill, for their help in study design and comments on my manuscript. Several WSU staff and faculty members deserve much more than my thanks for their help during my time at WSU. Patty Brandt was instrumental in keeping my morale high and my finances in order. Chuck Cody, in addition to being a good friend, is largely responsible for keeping my plants alive and the scope of my project realistic. Gerry Edwards taught me everything I know about plant stress and chlorophyll analysis and generously donated his time and resources in his lab for my project. Rich Alldredge was my guru not only in statistics, but also in understanding academia. This project would never have been completed without these people.

A three year experiment was carried out on sandy soil with a vegetatively propagated single clone of Phyllostachys iridescens in Gödöllő, Hungary to investigate the effect of water availability on the number of developing and aborted shoots and the number, diameter and height of culms in a newly planted grove. Part of the experimental plot was provided with drip irrigation and irrigated 3 times a week during the vegetation period from April until the end of October in all years. The first experimental year (2010) was a moist year, while during the second (2011) and third year (2012) there was drought during spring and summer. The number of shoots that developed into culms did not significantly increase over the years in unirrigated control plants, while in irrigated plants there was a three to four fold increase in culm recruitment compared to initial values.

  • Bambusa, Bamboo (Poaceae)
    Bambusa Bambusa, Bamboo (Poaceae) Bamboo is the common name used to indicate 20 genera of plants belonging to the Poaceae family. The most important of these are Arundinaria, Bambusa, Dendrocalamus, Fargesia, Phyllostachys, Pleioblastus, Pseudosasa and Sasa. In all, the 20 genera include about 200 evergreen species native above all to Asia, species of different sizes (from 40-60cm for some dwarf Bamboo plants, to the giant plants which measure 25-30m). All species produce woody culms divided into canes. In their native countries cultivation of Bamboo goes back to ancient times. In those days Bamboo was used, and is still used today, not just for decorative purposes but to make receptacles, furniture, boats and houses. The young shoots are edible. In the West, Bamboo has only recently become popular, but over recent years its popularity has grown enormously. People love the bright green foliage, the multicoloured stalks, the delicate texture of the branches, the elegant, harmonious shape, the touch of the exotic. In gardens and parks they are used for group planting, hedges near or alongside water features. Bamboo can be grown in pots or troughs and are now indispensable for modern decorations , from the most simple to the more prestigious. MEDIUM AND GIANT BAMBOOS Bambusa metake (Arundinaria japonica) (Pseudosasa japonica) Origin. China, Japan, Korea. Clumping Bamboo with rather thin culms (2-3cm diameter) which grow straight up and close together, covered in a sheath which is at first pale green, later brown and persisting for a long time. Evergreen leaves, 10-30cm long, 2-3cm wide, are bright, deep green on the upper side, glaucous on the underside.

    Bamboo! amboos are members of the grass family, the Poaceae still used for construction, scaffolding, flooring and indeed or the older wider clan, the Gramineae.. For centuries for utensils and wonderful artefacts. Of course they are at Bin Asia, where most kinds originate, they have been their most beautiful when used in their natural, living form held in high regard and used both for aesthetic and practical as plants. Elegant and distinctive, they rarely compete with purposes. They are hardy and evergreen and can be grown other plants. Because they are grasses, they share with their in most soil types. There are over a thousand species ranging smaller relatives the quality of movement, and that wonderful in size from dwarf varieties to towering giants. Bamboos are swishing sound. Their delicate-looking leaves and attractive canes make a pleasing contrast to most other types of plants. Part of their charm is their versatility. In the classic perennial border or the mixed border of shrubs and perennials, bamboos can be used to add evergreen structure to the composition. Use them behind other plants to form a quiet green backdrop, or repeat them throughout the border to make vertical accents, in the same way that conifers are sometimes used. Phyllostachys and fargesia varieties are especially suited to this, and are far more interesting than static conifers. To heighten a tropical look, bamboos can be mixed with exotic, medium- sized trees such as snakebark maple, paulownia and catalpa or with evergreen, broad-leaved and coniferous types like hoheria, eucryphia, schefflera, Himalayan pine and the lovely Chinese fir Cunninghamia lanceolata.
