Some preliminary members of Cronquist’s orders genera of aquatic plants, Callitriche, results from my research indicated Lamiales and Scrophulariales. VOLUME 30:2, APRIL 2002 FREMONTIA 13 The very first results seemed to indicate that something was amiss. Two groups of genera, normally assigned to Scrophulariaceae, seemed to form distinct branches on the resulting evolutionary tree, but did not come out together. While we could not be confident of the relationships among all the families included in that study, we were confident that these two groups of genera were as distant from each other as any of several major families in this part of the “tree of life” were from each other, including the Lamiaceae, Acantha- Water-starwort, Callitriche verna (top left), and Mare’s-tail, Hippuris vulgaris (above), ceae, Bignoniaceae, Verbenaceae, are now included in the Veronicaceae. TREE OF LIFE he metaphor of the “tree of life” has been used ever since Darwin’s time to conceptualize the pattern of Trelationships among species. A classification that reflects the tree of life would be hierarchical in nature, with branch tips representing species and the branches themselves representing groups in the classification. Our present system of classification consists of a series of ever-more-inclusive ranks. Closely related species make up a genus (“twig” on the tree metaphor), one or more genera make up a family (larger branch), and so on down the tree towards the “trunk” with order, class, phylum, and kingdom. In order for the resulting classification to accurately reflect the evolutionary relationships or phylogeny, each named group in the classification must connect to the rest of the tree at a single point (or “saw cut,” if we are pruning the “tree”). Each such group is termed monophylet i(lciterally “one branch”), whereas groups that consist of two or more branches pruned separately from the tree are termed polyphylet.Tic hose that require one cut to prune a branch, but then another cut to exclude one of the smaller branches from that branch are termed paraphyletic Tr. aditional classifications are largely monophyletic, but typically have some polyphyletic groups and many paraphyletic groups. 14 FREMONTIA VOLUME 30:2, APRIL 2002 DNA SEQUENCES ost of the evidence for plant evolutionary relationships in recent years has come from a comparison of Mthe DNA sequences of various genes, usually those found in the chloroplast of the plant cell. A single gene, or even three genes as used in the study on which this article is based, are but a small fraction of the entire genetic material in a plant (its genome). However, the variation in DNA sequences for even a gene of modest length—for example 1,000 nucleotides long—is likely to have more information about evolutionary relationships than the anatomy and morphology on which traditional classifications are based. It is also easier to compare using new computer analyses. In the study of Olmstead et al. (2001), three genes totaling more than 4,200 nucleotides were compared for 65 species of plants in the Scrophulariaceae and related families. and Gesneriaceae (Olmstead and sity—Claude dePamphilis, Andrea Reeves 1995).

  • Sutera Cordata C.E.O. Kuntze Bacopa (Chaenostoma Cordatum, Bacopa Cordata, Sutera Diffusa)
    Sutera cordata C.E.O. Kuntze Bacopa (Chaenostoma cordatum, Bacopa cordata, Sutera diffusa) Other Common Names: Sutera. Family: Scrophulariaceae. Cold Hardiness: Cold tolerant and used as a winter annual or perennial in USDA zones 9(8b) through 11; often used as a transition or summer annual in cooler climates. Foliage: Evergreen; opposite; simple; rhombic-ovate to nearly cordate; small, dO to eO(¾O) long, and thickish; tips acute; margins distally dentate-serrate; palmately veined, faintly impressed above and lightly raised beneath; base cuneate, rounded, or nearly cordate; the blade is medium to dark green; petioles are ¼O to ½Olong, green, and sometimes winged with tiny glandular pubescence. Flower: Perfect; terminal; five-petals fused at the base into a narrow throat and recurved distally to form a flattened small five-lobed white flower; the corolla is surrounded by a five-lobed green calyx; additional colors in the blue, pink, and lavender range are being developed via hybridization with other species. Fruit: Tiny capsules; not ornamental; deadheading is not required. 1 Stem / Bark: Stems — stiff; mostly prostrate; green with tiny glandular pubescence; Buds — tiny, /32O or less in length; foliose; green; Bark — not applicable in our region. Habit: Bacopa forms a flat spreading semi-evergreen rounded herbaceous mat of trailing stems and under cultivation in our region plants are only 2O to 4O(8O) tall with a 2N to 4N spread; in its native land it may develop into a woody subshrub mounding to 24O tall with an indefinite spread; the overall texture is fine. Cultural Requirements: Morning sun and afternoon shade is best, but plants can tolerate full sun to partial shade if a steady moisture supply is available; plants frequently tend to slump or succumb to the heat of our summers, but if they survive, they may return to flower in autumn; plants require a moist well drained fertile soil and are not particularly drought tolerant; recovery from severe drought stress is poor.

  • Well-Known Plants in Each Angiosperm Order
    Well-known plants in each angiosperm order This list is generally from least evolved (most ancient) to most evolved (most modern). (I’m not sure if this applies for Eudicots; I’m listing them in the same order as APG II.) The first few plants are mostly primitive pond and aquarium plants. Next is Illicium (anise tree) from Austrobaileyales, then the magnoliids (Canellales thru Piperales), then monocots (Acorales through Zingiberales), and finally eudicots (Buxales through Dipsacales). The plants before the eudicots in this list are considered basal angiosperms. This list focuses only on angiosperms and does not look at earlier plants such as mosses, ferns, and conifers.

  • 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.

Radiation of this group occurred in all biomes of tropical America and was accompanied by extensive phenotypic and ecological diversification. Here we performed phylogenetic analyses using DNA sequences from three plastid loci to reconstruct the evolutionary history of Gesnerioideae and to investigate its relationship with other lineages of Gesneriaceae and Lamiales. Our molecular data confirm the inclusion of the South Pacific Coronanthereae and the Old World (OW) monotypic genus Titanotrichum in Gesnerioideae and the sister-group relationship of this subfamily to the rest of the OW Gesneriaceae. Calceolariaceae and the NW genera Peltanthera and Sanango appeared successively sister to Gesneriaceae, whereas Cubitanthus, which has been previously assigned to Gesneriaceae, is shown to be related to Linderniaceae. Based on molecular dating and biogeographical reconstruction analyses, we suggest that ancestors of Gesneriaceae originated in South America during the Late Cretaceous.
