  • The Role of the Francisco Javier Clavijero Botanic Garden
    Research article The role of the Francisco Javier Clavijero Botanic Garden (Xalapa, Veracruz, Mexico) in the conservation of the Mexican flora El papel del Jardín Botánico Francisco Javier Clavijero (Xalapa, Veracruz, México) en la conservación de la flora mexicana Milton H. Díaz-Toribio1,3 , Victor Luna1 , Andrew P. Vovides2 Abstract: Background and Aims: There are approximately 3000 botanic gardens in the world. These institutions cultivate approximately six million plant species, representing around 100,000 taxa in cultivation. Botanic gardens make an important contributionex to situ conservation with a high number of threat- ened plant species represented in their collections. To show how the Francisco Javier Clavijero Botanic Garden (JBC) contributes to the conservation of Mexican flora, we asked the following questions: 1) How is vascular plant diversity currently conserved in the JBC?, 2) How well is this garden perform- ing with respect to the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (GSPC) and the Mexican Strategy for Plant Conservation (MSPC)?, and 3) How has the garden’s scientific collection contributed to the creation of new knowledge (description of new plant species)? Methods: We used data from the JBC scientific living collection stored in BG-BASE. We gathered information on species names, endemism, and endan- gered status, according to national and international policies, and field data associated with each species. Key results: We found that 12% of the species in the JBC collection is under some risk category by international and Mexican laws. Plant families with the highest numbers of threatened species were Zamiaceae, Orchidaceae, Arecaceae, and Asparagaceae. We also found that Ostrya mexicana, Tapirira mexicana, Oreopanax capitatus, O.

  • A Critical Taxonomic Checklist of Carpinus and Ostrya (Coryloideae, Betulaceae)
    European Journal of Taxonomy 375: 1–52 ISSN 2118-9773 https://doi.org/10.5852/ejt.2017.375 www.europeanjournaloftaxonomy.eu 2017 · Holstein N. & Weigend M. This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 License. Monograph No taxon left behind? – a critical taxonomic checklist of Carpinus and Ostrya (Coryloideae, Betulaceae) Norbert HOLSTEIN 1,* & Maximilian WEIGEND 2 1,2 Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn, Bonn, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany. * Corresponding author: [email protected] 2 Email: [email protected] Abstract. Hornbeams (Carpinus) and hop-hornbeams (Ostrya) are trees or large shrubs from the northern hemisphere. Currently, 43 species of Carpinus (58 taxa including subdivisions) and 8 species of Ostrya (9 taxa including sudivisions) are recognized. These are based on 175 (plus 16 Latin basionyms of cultivars) and 21 legitimate basionyms, respectively. We present an updated checklist with publication details and type information for all accepted names and the vast majority of synonyms of Carpinus and Ostrya, including the designation of 54 lectotypes and two neotypes. Cultivars are listed if validly described under the rules of the ICN. Furthermore, we consider Carpinus hwai Hu & W.C.Cheng to be a synonym of Carpinus fargesiana var. ovalifolia (H.J.P.Winkl.) Holstein & Weigend comb. nov. During the course of our work, we found 30 legitimate basionyms of non-cultivars that have been consistently overlooked since their original descriptions, when compared with the latest checklists and fl oristic treatments. As regional fl oras are highly important for taxonomic practice, we investigated the number of overlooked names and found that 78 basionyms were omitted at least once in the eight regional treatments surveyed.

  • American Hophornbeam (Ostrya Virginian Ostrya Virginiana)
    American Hophornbeam (ostrya virginiana) Hardiness zones: 3-9 Height: 25-40 feet Spread: 20-30 feet Flower color: brown/green Fall color: green/yellow/brown Soil moisture: medium Soil type: average, medium, well-drained Light: full sun to part shade Growth rate: slow Shape: pyramid to rounded Drought tolerance: high This deciduous Missouri native tolerates some of the worst growing conditions thanks to its extreme adaptability. If a carefree shade tree is what your yard needs, the American Hophornbeam should fit the bill. Sometimes referred to as the Ironwood because of its extremely dense wood, this tree will provide a nice, low maintenance feature to your landscape. Male catkins Clusters of mature seeds resemble fruit of the hops plant. Bark of the immature American Hophornbeam This species makes an excellent street shade tree. While its dense foliage is its strong point, the fruit and flowers of the Hophornbeam provide added visual interest and are the basis for part of the trees name. This tree is monoecious (\mə-NĒ- shəs), meaning the male flower and female flower, or catkins, appear on the same tree. The male catkins remain on the tree throughout the year. The female catkins develop into seed pods that closely resemble the fruit of the hops plant. Both catkins provide year round color ranging from lime green to beige, yellow and brown. The “flaky” bark of the immature Hophornbeam also contributes to the unique look of this species. Leaves emerge a vibrant lime green (left), then mature to a deep lustrous green (right) Russet brown color of the Hophornbeam in fall The American Hophornbeam is a rugged tree that grows well in a variety of conditions, including poor soils such as those typically found in urban settings.

  • Dendrology Or Tree Identification
    Dendrology or Tree Identification Falls into the oldest area of science called Taxonomy Taxis: Latin meaning arrangement or order nomy: refers to knowledge Taxonomy is the knowledge of order or classification of plants. Plant Classification Classification is simply grouping and ranking into a hierarchy of categories with each level having the characteristics of those levels above. Linnaeus (1753), founder of modern classification systems. Classification of living things: Biologists use a formal system of classification. At each level, organisms are grouped by similarity of characteristics. Gymnosperms Angiospearms Kingdoms Plantae Plantae Phyla (animals) or Divisions (plants) Pinophyta Magnoliophyta Classes Pinopsida Magnoliopsida Orders Pinales Fagales Families Pinaceae Fagaceae Genera Larix Quercus Species laricina rubra author: (Du Roi)K. Koch L. common names: eastern larch, hackmatack, juniper northern red oak It is very important for a resource manager to be able to at least identify a plant to the genus level, preferably to species level. Plant Classification The most important taxon for us is the “species” A species is a biological concept that means a collection of individuals so similar that they suggest common parentage and the offspring from sexual reproduction is expected to produce individuals that are similar to the parents. Species – both a singular and plural word abbreviated as sp. if singular and abbreviated as spp. if plural Note: Specie refers to “coined money” Nomenclature Is the system and terminology used to name species A species has two names: common or vernacular name scientific name Common or Vernacular name The term vernacular name is preferred by some over common name because “common” implies the name is used everywhere while “vernacular” suggests a regional usage.
