Kathleen A. Kron (WFU), A. Daniel Johnson (WFU), Erik C. Johnson (WFU), Miles R. Silman (WFU), and Qiu-Yun (Jenny) Xiang (NC State U.), for their ongoing support of my academic training. I called on them many times during the past five years, and I was always met with enthusiasm and genuine interest. Particular thanks to Kathy, for being a kind and patient advisor, for tolerating my mysterious work hours and my desire to study things like Russian, and for exchanging funny cat stories. I am most grateful for the opportunity to have learned from an expert in my field. Funding for this study was provided by NSF grant DEB-023043 and Wake Forest University as part of a broader study of the Rhododendron clade. The Department of Biology provided a Vecellio Grant in order to facilitate my trips to Duke University to learn plant anatomy techniques. I received Cocke Travel Grants from the WFU Biology Department, Alumni Travel Grants from the WFU Graduate School of Arts and Sciences and Student Travel Grants from The Association of Southeastern Biologists to attend numerous meetings. The following herbaria loaned material for this project: Harvard U. Herbaria (HUH), Swedish Museum of Natural History Herbarium (S), Museum of Nature and Human Activities, Japan (HYO), Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh (RBGE), U. Alaska Museum of the North (ALA), Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew (RBGK), U. Washington (WTU), the Heather Society, Rhododendron Species Foundation (RSF), Florida Museum of Natural History (FLAS), California Academy of Sciences (CAS) and the Smithsonian iii Institution (US). The University of British Columbia Botanical Garden allowed me to collect plants on site. The following individuals collected or facilitated collections of plant material for these studies: Drs. Jiang Hongyuan and Du Fengguo (Forestry College of Beihua U.), Salih Terzioğlu (Karadeniz Technical U.), Robert Meinke and Aaron Liston (Oregon State U.) and Richard Abbott (Florida Museum of Natural History). Drs. Rick Ree (Field Museum), Jun Wen (Smithsonian Institution), David Boufford (Harvard U.), Peter Fritsch and Bruce Bartholomew (California Academy of Sciences) generously provided plant material from the Gaoligongshan Biodiversity Survey collections for the Cassiope project. Drs. Dick White and Mel Turner (Duke U.) graciously agreed to have me visit their lab to learn various plant anatomy techniques, and Dr. Anita McCaulay (Wake Forest U.) helped me with microscopy techniques. Support staff in the WFU Department of Biology helped keep things running, including our IT guru, Mr. Jeff Muday, and our wonderful secretaries, Ms. Cindy Davis and Ms. Zella Johnson. Numerous individuals in addition to those listed above assisted me with technical aspects of the project, made valuable suggestions and were happy to talk formal and informal ‘shop’ with some frequency. These include Drs. Torsten Eriksson (Swedish Museum of Natural History), Randy Small (UT-Knoxville), Zack Murrell (Appalachian State U.), Ann Powell (U. Evansville), Henry Wilbur (U. Virginia), Peter Stevens (Missouri Botanical Garden), Gary Wallace (Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden), Helen Murphy and Michelle DaCosta (Wake Forest U.), Jim Petranka (UNC-Asheville), Yu Yan (Sichuan U.), and Ms. A.J. Harris (Oklahoma State U.). These folks and many other iv regional biologists and herbarium curators provided feedback, guidance, encouragement and friendship along the way. Many thanks to all. v TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF FIGURES………..…………………………………………..…………..... vi LIST OF TABLES AND APPENDICES…………………………………………… viii ABSTRACT………………………………………………………….……………… ix Chapter I.

The two groups are members of two closely related clades, the Ericoideae and Cassiope. Phylogenetic relationships within the subfamily Ericoideae were investigated first in order to establish its main clades. Five main clades were recovered. The first four are the tribes Ericeae (African and European heathers), Empetreae (crowberries and Diplarche, a Rhododendron-like species), Rhodoreae (Rhododendron and relatives) and Bryantheae, comprised of two poorly understood genera, Bryanthus and Ledothamnus. The fifth (Phyllodoceae) includes plants such as the mountain laurels (Kalmia), the mountain heathers (Phyllodoce) and their close relatives. The Phyllodoceae was the subject of the second part of the research. The goal here was to establish a species-level phylogeny and to examine historical biogeography of the tribe. DIVA analysis was used to infer ancestral areas of nodes, and putative vicariance events. Identification of these events was followed by relative

Forest and Plant Communities of Mt Rainier • The zones show regular patterns that result in “associations” of certain shrubs and herbs relating to the dominant, climax tree species. • The nature of the understory vegetation is largely determined by the amount of moisture available and the microclimates that exist. Forest Zones of Mt Rainier • Western Hemlock Zone – below 3,000 ft • Silver Fir Zone – between 2,500 and 4,700 ft • Mountain Hemlock Zone – above 4,000 ft Since most of the field trips will start above 4,000 ft we will only discuss plants found in the Mountain Hemlock Zone and above.

  • Beechwood Gardens Bog Rosemary
    Bog Rosemary* Andromeda polifolia Height: 24 inches Spread: 3 feet Sunlight: Hardiness Zone: 1b Description: A very small shrub for detail use in gardens, with bluish needle-like foliage and pink urn-shaped flowers in spring; very fastidious as to growing conditions, needs ample consistent moisture and highly organic soils, will not tolerate alkaline soil Ornamental Features Bog Rosemary flowers Photo courtesy of NetPS Plant Bog Rosemary features dainty nodding white bell-shaped flowers with Finder shell pink overtones at the ends of the branches from mid to late spring. It has bluish-green foliage. The needles remain bluish-green throughout the winter. The fruit is not ornamentally significant. Landscape Attributes Bog Rosemary is a multi-stemmed evergreen shrub with a more or less rounded form. It lends an extremely fine and delicate texture to the landscape composition which should be used to full effect. This is a relatively low maintenance shrub, and usually looks its best without pruning, although it will tolerate pruning. It has no significant negative characteristics. Bog Rosemary is recommended for the following landscape applications; - General Garden Use Planting & Growing Bog Rosemary will grow to be about 24 inches tall at maturity, with a spread of 3 feet. It tends to fill out right to the ground and therefore doesn't necessarily require facer plants in front. It grows at a slow rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 20 years. 361 N. Hunter Highway Drums, PA 18222 (570) 788-4181 www.beechwood-gardens.com This shrub does best in full sun to partial shade.
