Cytisus Jankae LC Taxonomic Authority: Velen Cytisus jankae LC Taxonomic Authority: Velen. Global Assessment Regional Assessment Region: Global Endemic to region Synonyms Common Names Chamaecytisus janka (Velen.) Rothm. Upper Level Taxonomy Kingdom: PLANTAE Phylum: TRACHEOPHYTA Class: MAGNOLIOPSIDA Order: FABALES Family: LEGUMINOSAE Lower Level Taxonomy Rank: Infra- rank name: Plant Hybrid Subpopulation: Authority: Cytisus jankae was described as related to Cytisus tmoleus and Cytisus austriacus and it has been reported that Cytisus pindicolus Halacsy of Albany and Greece is a form of the same species (Cristofolini 1991). However, Cytisus pindicola Halacsy is a recognized synonym of C. austriacus and therefore not included on this assessment. There are minor segregates from Cytisus that persist in local floristics such as Chamaecytisus, therefore the species has been found in Floras and reports as Chamaecytisus jankae (Velen.) Rothm. In this assessment has been followed Polhill and Van Wyk (2005), who in Legumes of the World re-included Chamaecytisus in Cytisus following Cristofolini (1991); Käss and Wink (1997); Cubas et al. (2002) and Wink and Mohamed (2003). General Information Distribution The species is endemic to the Balkan mountains (Făgăraş et al. 2010), Bulgaria, former Yugoslavia (Serbia), Romania and Albania. However, it has been described as endemic on the Grasslands of Romania Final report on National Grasslands Inventory 2000-2003 (Anca et al. 2004).

Total Population Size Minimum Population Size: Maximum Population Size: Habitat and Ecology C. jankae is a dwarf shrub described as orophyte. The species has been reported as characteristic from Western Pontic feathergrass steppes, pastureland, natural or secondary grass communities on plain terrain along the West Black Sea Coast and soil developed to different stages on limestone bedrock. It is one of the diagnostic species from a new association Paeonio tenuifoliae-Koelerietum brevis in Bulgaria and from the Myrsiniteto-Ischaemetum association in Mt. Suva, Serbia (Todorova and Tzonev 2010). System Movement pattern Crop Wild Relative Terrestrial Freshwater Nomadic Congregatory/Dispersive Is the species a wild relative of a crop? Marine Migratory Altitudinally migrant Growth From Definition Shrub - small Perennial shrub small (<1m) or dwarf shrub, also termed a Chamaephyte (<1m) Threats There are no known major threats to this species. Past Present Future 13 None Conservation Measures It has been listed as Rare on the The Red List of vascular plants from Romanian grasslands (Anca et al. 2004) and as Rare and threatened in the Black Sea coastal area (Făgăraş et al. 2010). The ecoregion has a good network of protected areas, however the species has not been reported from within them. Seeds have yet to be collected as an ex situ conservation effort.

Unknown Trend in the level of wild offtake/harvest in relation to total wild population numbers over the last five years: Unknown Trend in the amount of offtake/harvest produced through domestication/cultivation over the last five years: Unknown CITES status: Not listed IUCN Red Listing Red List Assessment: (using 2001 IUCN system) Least Concern (LC) Red List Criteria: Date Last Seen (only for EX, EW or Possibly EX species): Is the species Possibly Extinct? Possibly Extinct Candidate? Rationale for the Red List Assessment Although it has been listed as rare and threatened in the Flora of Romania, throughout its range it is not believed to meet the threshold for a threatened category, therefore, C. jankae is listed as Least Concern. Further surveys are needed to define the distribution range and determine if the species does occur in protected areas.

Patterns of flammability across the vascular plant phylogeny, with special emphasis on the genus Dracophyllum A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of philosophy at Lincoln University by Xinglei Cui Lincoln University 2020 Abstract of a thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of philosophy. Abstract Patterns of flammability across the vascular plant phylogeny, with special emphasis on the genus Dracophyllum by Xinglei Cui Fire has been part of the environment for the entire history of terrestrial plants and is a common disturbance agent in many ecosystems across the world. Fire has a significant role in influencing the structure, pattern and function of many ecosystems. Plant flammability, which is the ability of a plant to burn and sustain a flame, is an important driver of fire in terrestrial ecosystems and thus has a fundamental role in ecosystem dynamics and species evolution. However, the factors that have influenced the evolution of flammability remain unclear.

Species of Septoria on the Fabaceae, subfamily Faboideae, tribe Genisteae. - Sydowia 44: 13-31. Fourteen taxa of Septoria that have been described on members of the Fabaceae, subfamily Faboideae, tribe Genisteae were studied. Seven taxa are accepted including the new taxa Septoria sulphurei, S. cytisi var. alpini, and S. cytisi var. petteriae. Conidial morphology, hosts and lesion morphology were found to be valuable in separating taxa. Illustrations and a key to the accepted taxa are included. Keywords: taxonomy, coelomycetes, pycnidial fungi, Deuteromycotina. The Fabaceae contains many economically important taxa, sev- eral of which have been reported to be infected with species of Septoria, including S. astragali Roberge in Desmaz. on Astragalus, S. glycines Hemi on Glycine, S. fulvescens Sacc. on Lathyrus, and S. pisi Westend, on Pisum. This paper covers the taxonomy of the Septoria species that have been reported on members of the Fabaceae, subfamily Faboideae, tribe Genisteae, as part of a larger study of the approximately 160 species of Septoria reported on the Fabaceae. The tribe Genisteae was chosen primarily because the type of the genus, Septoria cytisi Desmaz., occurs on Cytisus, one of the genera in this tribe.

Abstract: Two new species, Chamaecytisus korabensis and Ch. pseudojankae, both from Albania, are described and illustrated here. Th e relationship of the new taxa to Ch. ratisbonensis and Ch. eriocarpus agg. is discussed. Ch. korabensis is an endemic species of eastern Albania and related to the Eastern European Ch. ratisbonensis agg. Ch. pseudojankae is an endemic species of the Th atë and Galičica Mountain ranges, and morphologically it is between Ch. austriacus and Ch. eriocarpus agg. Additionally, the names Cytisus absinthioides and C. pygmaeus are lectotypifi ed. Key words: Fabaceae, endemic species, lectotype, taxonomy INTRODUCTION Th e genus Chamaecytisus is distributed from the Canary Islands to Anatolia, occurring throughout the entire Mediterranean region and Europe except for the western and northern parts. Up to now, approximately 350 taxa have been de- scribed in the genus Chamaecytisus Link (incl. ca 120 species). Due to taxonomic and nomenclatural reasons more than 750 related names are present in the litera- ture (Pifkó 2015). Th e treatment of Chamaecytisus taxa is highly variable in monographs, thus the clear elucidation of the known taxa, based on type material, is necessary when describing new species.

Jackson Plant Genetics Group, School of Biological Sciences, University of Birmingham, Edgbaston, Birmingham,B15 2TT,United Kingdom and A. Santos-Guerra & M. Fernández-Galván Jardín de Aclimatación de La Orotava, Puerto de La Cruz, Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain Abstract Chamaecytisus proliferus (L. fil.)Link (Fabaceae: Genisteae) forms a taxonomic complex which is endemic to El Hierro, La Palma, La Gomera, Tenerife and Gran Canaria in the Canary Island archipelago. Forms from La Palma are popularly known as "tagasaste" whereas those from the rest of the archipelago are commonly called "escobón". Tagasaste is the only form which is broadly cultivated in the Canary Islands, and since the late 19th century in New Zealand and Australia. It has also become naturalized in Australia (South Australia, New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania), Java, the Hawaiian Islands, California, Portugal, North Africa, Kenya, Tanzania and South Africa. Dr Victor Pérez, a medical practitioner from La Palma, introduced tagasaste as a fodder tree from La Palma to Tenerife by the middle 19th century. Early introductions of tagasaste from the Canary Islands in the Pacific region confirm the importance of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew and the Botanic Gardens of Adelaide in the distribution of this exotic species in this region during the last c,entury. Introduction The endemic Chamaecytisus from the Canary Islands comprises a taxonomic complex found in the islands of El Hierro, La Palma, La Gomera, Tenerife and Gran Canaria.

  • Chamaecytisus Palmensis Star Performer Status Chamaecytisus Palmensis, Called Tagasaste Or Tree Lucerne, Is in the Legume Family (Fabaceae)
    Chamaecytisus palmensis Star Performer Status Chamaecytisus palmensis, called tagasaste or tree lucerne, is in the legume family (Fabaceae). Tagasaste is a significant star performer in New Zealand because it flowers from late winter through early spring when little else is flowering for bees. Tagasaste starts flowering as early as June, peaking from August to September, when bees are emerging from their winter rest to build up colonies. Each shrub/tree has prolific floral displays. Flowering can continue for up to four months. Cultivated and naturalised tagasaste are important multi-function plants much used by farmers and other landowners, so it is abundant and Figure 1. The floral display of tagasaste branches are composed common everywhere, making it a plentiful and available forage plant for honey of densely packed flowers in various stages of opening. bees. Introduction One of the puzzling features of tagasaste is that we often find few honey bees foraging at one time on a tree. In other words, it is not what we call a ‘buzz plant’ with a frenzy of numerous honey bees buzzing loudly and covering the whole tree. This is because the flowers are in several different stages of opening along the branch and the flowers have a complex structure that challenge honey bees to gain access to pollen and nectar in the young flowers. The flowers of tagasaste are ‘closed-access’ flowers in the shape of the familiar Figure 3. This honey bee may be collecting nectar at the back of ‘flag blossom’ type also found in other members of the legume family such as the flower through a hole made by bumble bees.
