  • 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

By Wilhelm (Bill) Bischoff / member BC Council of Garden Clubs If you can accept that the island called Santorini in the central Mediterranean, also known as Thira / Tera, is the original Island of Atlantis; if you also can agree that this Island had a terrific volcanic explosion more than 3,000 years ago, than I can share with you an equally fantastic botanical story with you. That today’s Thira is the remnant of an exploded volcano is quite evident when one looks at a map of this region of the Mediterranean. Located as part of the Aegean Islands, just north of Crete, it shows the unmistakable shape of a water filled volcanic caldera with a center-cone island. Scientists have identified volcanic ash taken from the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea, close to the Lebanese coast, as originating from Thira. The time frame of some 3300 years ago also coincides with the beginning of a rather tumultuous time in this part of the ancient world, the end of the “Bronze Age”. The possible cause of that could well have been a natural disaster, in the very heart of the ancient world as we know it. Now that I have your attention and possibly have whetted your curiosity, let me introduce you to one of the small wonders of this very ancient world, the beautiful Cyclamen, all 22 species of them.

  • Somalia to Become the 193Rd Party To
    Communiqué SOMALIA TO BECOME THE 193RD PARTY TO THE CONVENTION ON BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY The Secretariat is pleased to announce that Somalia has deposited its instrument of accession to the Convention on Biological Diversity and will become the 193rd Party to the Convention as of 10 December 2009. As a major biodiversity hotspot in the Horn of Africa, Somalia’s accession is a major step in achieving universal membership for the Convention of Life on Earth. “This accession is also of strategic importance for the future of achieving the sustainable development objectives as we will become a full member of the international community,” said Mr. Buri Hamza, Minister of the Environment of Somalia. He further added that: “Despite the difficult circumstances facing my country, the Government of Somalia is committed to playing its full role in international efforts to achieving the objectives of the Convention.” Somalia contains a wealth of biodiversity. According to Conservation International’s Biodiversity Hotspots, hundreds of new species have been discovered in Somalia in the last 20 years, among them the Somali cyclamen (Cyclamen somalense) otherwise found only in the Mediterranean region. Mr. Ahmed Djoghlaf, Executive Secretary of the Convention, received the news while attending the pre-festival held in Aichi/Nagoya one year before the tenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties with the participation of more than 20,000 participants. Welcoming Somalia’s accession as the 193rd Party to the Convention on Biological Diversity, Mr. Djoghlaf said: “Somalia’s accession to the Convention on Biological Diversity is welcome news for the biodiversity family as a whole.

Due to the saponins they carry, the Cyclamen species have important and diverse biological activities (diuretic, purgative, antirheumatic, antifungal, antimicrobial, insecticide, antioxidant, cytotoxic and antitumoral etc.). Keywords: Biological Activity, Cyclamen alpinum, Medicinal Plant, Turkey. I. INTRODUCTION mentioned that C. alpinum (as C. trochopteranthum) is close to C. coum. Cyclamen alpinum is a perennial Humans have been using plants for various purposes with tuberous plant. Its leaves are oval to round, since ancient times.

  • (Cyclamen Persicum): When Pollination Syndromes Break Down Racheli Schwartz-Tzachora, Amotz Dafnib,Ã, Simon G
    ARTICLE IN PRESS Flora 201 (2006) 370–373 www.elsevier.de/flora An ancient pollinator of a contemporary plant (Cyclamen persicum): When pollination syndromes break down Racheli Schwartz-Tzachora, Amotz Dafnib,Ã, Simon G. Pottsb, Dan Eisikowitcha aDepartment of Plant Sciences, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv, Israel bLaboratory of Pollination Ecology, Institute of Evolution, Haifa University, Haifa 31905, Israel Received 15 March 2005; accepted 25 July 2005 Dedicated to Prof. Dr. Stefan Vogel on the occasion of his 80th birthday Abstract Pollination of Cyclamen persicum (Primulaceae) was studied in two wild populations in Israel. Buzz-pollination proved to be extremely rare, and performed by a large Anthophora bee only. The most frequent pollinators were various unspecialized species of thrips (Thysanoptera) and hoverflies (Syrphidae). In the Winter-flowering populations the commonest visitor was a small primitive moth, Micropteris elegans (Micropterigidae, Lepidoptera). These moths feed on pollen, copulate and oviposit within the flowers. From the rarity of buzz-pollination it is concluded that the genus Cyclamen co-evolved with large bees capable of buzz-pollination, but lost its original pollinators for unknown historical reasons. The vacant niche was then open to various unspecialized pollen consumers such as thrips, hoverflies and small solitary bees.
