  • Guide to the Flora of the Carolinas, Virginia, and Georgia, Working Draft of 17 March 2004 -- LILIACEAE
    Guide to the Flora of the Carolinas, Virginia, and Georgia, Working Draft of 17 March 2004 -- LILIACEAE LILIACEAE de Jussieu 1789 (Lily Family) (also see AGAVACEAE, ALLIACEAE, ALSTROEMERIACEAE, AMARYLLIDACEAE, ASPARAGACEAE, COLCHICACEAE, HEMEROCALLIDACEAE, HOSTACEAE, HYACINTHACEAE, HYPOXIDACEAE, MELANTHIACEAE, NARTHECIACEAE, RUSCACEAE, SMILACACEAE, THEMIDACEAE, TOFIELDIACEAE) As here interpreted narrowly, the Liliaceae constitutes about 11 genera and 550 species, of the Northern Hemisphere. There has been much recent investigation and re-interpretation of evidence regarding the upper-level taxonomy of the Liliales, with strong suggestions that the broad Liliaceae recognized by Cronquist (1981) is artificial and polyphyletic. Cronquist (1993) himself concurs, at least to a degree: "we still await a comprehensive reorganization of the lilies into several families more comparable to other recognized families of angiosperms." Dahlgren & Clifford (1982) and Dahlgren, Clifford, & Yeo (1985) synthesized an early phase in the modern revolution of monocot taxonomy. Since then, additional research, especially molecular (Duvall et al. 1993, Chase et al. 1993, Bogler & Simpson 1995, and many others), has strongly validated the general lines (and many details) of Dahlgren's arrangement. The most recent synthesis (Kubitzki 1998a) is followed as the basis for familial and generic taxonomy of the lilies and their relatives (see summary below). References: Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (1998, 2003); Tamura in Kubitzki (1998a). Our “liliaceous” genera (members of orders placed in the Lilianae) are therefore divided as shown below, largely following Kubitzki (1998a) and some more recent molecular analyses. ALISMATALES TOFIELDIACEAE: Pleea, Tofieldia. LILIALES ALSTROEMERIACEAE: Alstroemeria COLCHICACEAE: Colchicum, Uvularia. LILIACEAE: Clintonia, Erythronium, Lilium, Medeola, Prosartes, Streptopus, Tricyrtis, Tulipa. MELANTHIACEAE: Amianthium, Anticlea, Chamaelirium, Helonias, Melanthium, Schoenocaulon, Stenanthium, Veratrum, Toxicoscordion, Trillium, Xerophyllum, Zigadenus.

Road, Bengaluru - 560 004, Karnataka, India Abstract The anther in Habenaria ovalifolia Wight was dithecous and tetrasporangiate. Its wall development confirmed to the monocotyledonous type. Each archesporial cell developed into a block of sporogenous cells and finally organized into pollen massulae. The anther wall was 4-5 layered. The endothecial cells developed ring-like tangential thickening on their inner walls. Tapetal cells were uninucleate and showed dual origin. The microspore tetrads were linear, tetrahedral, decussate and isobilateral. The pollens were shed at 2-celled stage. The ovules were anatropous, bitegmic and tenuinucellate. The inner integument alone formed the micropyle. The development of embryo sac was monosporic and G-1a type. The mature embryo sac contained an egg apparatus, secondary nucleus and three antipodal cells. Double fertilization occurred normally. Introduction species.

  • An Asian Orchid, Eulophia Graminea (Orchidaceae: Cymbidieae), Naturalizes in Florida
    LANKESTERIANA 8(1): 5-14. 2008. AN ASIAN ORCHID, EULOPHIA GRAMINEA (ORCHIDACEAE: CYMBIDIEAE), NATURALIZES IN FLORIDA ROBE R T W. PEMBE R TON 1,3, TIMOTHY M.

Lauderdale, Florida 33312 2Department of Biological Sciences, Florida International University, Miami, FL 33199 3Author for correspondence: [email protected] ABST R A C T . Eulophia graminea, a terrestrial orchid native to Asia, has naturalized in southern Florida. Orchids naturalize less often than other flowering plants or ferns, butE. graminea has also recently become naturalized in Australia. Plants were found growing in five neighborhoods in Miami-Dade County, spanning 35 km from the most northern to the most southern site, and growing only in woodchip mulch at four of the sites. Plants at four sites bore flowers, and fruit were observed at two sites. Hand pollination treatments determined that the flowers are self compatible but fewer fruit were set in selfed flowers (4/10) than in out-crossed flowers (10/10). No fruit set occurred in plants isolated from pollinators, indicating that E. graminea is not autogamous. Pollinia removal was not detected at one site, but was 24.3 % at the other site evaluated for reproductive success. A total of 26 and 92 fruit were found at these two sites, where an average of 6.5 and 3.4 fruit were produced per plant. These fruits ripened and dehisced rapidly; some dehiscing while their inflorescences still bore open flowers. Fruit set averaged 9.2 and 4.5 % at the two sites.

  • Orchids of Western Ghats
    Orchids of Western Ghats Dr. S.K. Jogdand P.G. Dept. of Botany Mrs. K.S.K. College Beed Orchids, one of the beautiful creations of the nature, comprise an unique group of plants. Being one of the largest families of the flowering plants, Orchidaceae constitutes about 7% species of all Angiosperms and nearly 40% of monocotyledons. It is one of the largest and most diversified families of Angiosperms represented by 25,000 to 35,000 species belonging to 600 – 800 genera (Arditti, 1979) distributed in all parts of the world except, perhaps, in the Antarctica (Abraham and Vatsala, 1981). India represents about 1,141 species belonging to 140 genera of orchids with Himalayas as their main home (Kumar and Manilal, 1994). Orchids are perennial herbs and exhibit incredible range of diversity in habit; shape, size, colour and fragrance of flower and its fascination. Orchids are highly evolved among the monocotyledons and also possess evolved flower and seed. The Western Ghats of India, one of the salubrious spots providing vast range of habitats for a good number of orchid species is one of the Hot- Spots of endemic plants of India. It is the second richest and diverse spot as far as orchids are concerned. It harbors 267 species, 3 subspecies, and 2 varieties of orchids belonging to 72 genera of which more than 46% are endemic. Orchidaceae are one of the dominant families in the Western Ghats only next to the Poaceae and Leguminoceae. Among the Monocotyledons, family Orchidaceae is found to be interesting for its Taxonomy, Cytogenetics, Adaptations, and Propagation.

Author for correspondence (E-mail: [email protected]) Zhao, A-Man Laboratory of Systematic and Evolutionary Botany, Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100093, The People’s Republic of China. Manuscript received in april 2004 Abstract China is one of the richest countries in plant biodiversity in the world. Besides to a rich flora, which contains about 33 000 vascular plants (being 30 000 of these angiosperms, 250 gymnosperms, and 2 600 pteridophytes), there is a extraordinary ecosystem diversity. In addition, China also contains a large pool of both wild and cultivated germplasm; one of the eight original centers of crop plants in the world was located there. China is also con- sidered one of the main centers of origin and diversification for seed plants on Earth, and it is specially profuse in phylogenetically primitive taxa and/or paleoendemics due to the glaciation refuge role played by this area in the Quaternary. The collision of Indian sub- continent enriched significantly the Chinese flora and produced the formation of many neoen- demisms. However, the distribution of the flora is uneven, and some local floristic hotspots can be found across China, such as Yunnan, Sichuan and Taiwan. Unfortunately, threats to this biodiversity are huge and have increased substantially in the last 50 years.
