  • Ajuga Chocolate Chip Ajuga Retans ‘Chocolate Chip’
    Ajuga Chocolate Chip Ajuga retans ‘Chocolate Chip’ Ajuga reptans, commonly called bugleweed, is a dense, rapidly spreading, mat-forming ground cover which features shiny, dark green leaves. Whorls of tiny, blue-violet flowers appear in mid to late spring on spikes rising above the foliage to 10". Cultivars of this species feature leaves with more interesting and varied foliage color. When in full flower, large clumps of bugleweed can produce a striking display. Dense foliage will choke out weeds. Mist Flower - Blue Conoclinium coelestinum An open shrub with slender branches that can reach six feet tall, fragrant mist flower explodes in the fall with masses of blue, fuzzy, very fragrant flowers that act as a magnet to hummingbirds, butterflies, and a plethora of other insects. The light green, triangular-shaped leaves are 1 to 3 inches long and have wavy edges. It is more tolerant of dry conditions than are most Eupatoriums, although it will tolerate poorly drained areas as well. It grows in partly shaded to mostly sunny sites, but will bloom more profusely with more sun. Fragrant mist flower makes a showy fall plant in the garden, or can be used massed as an understory or edge plant in more naturalized sites. Heavy shearing in the winter will promote a denser shape and more flowers the following year, since the long-lasting blooms appear only on new wood. Cat Whiskers White Orthosiphon stamineus The Cat Whiskers is a very showy plant that grows 3-4ft tall with bluish-white flowers that look like whiskers. The flowers of the Cat Whiskers are a lovely and are great to use as cut flowers.

  • La Familia Cactaceae En Tabasco, México
    Artículo de investigación La familia Cactaceae en Tabasco, México The Cactaceae family in Tabasco, Mexico Manuel J. Campos Díaz1 , Carlos Manuel Burelo Ramos1,3 y Salvador Arias2 Resumen: Antecedentes y Objetivos: En el sureste de México los estudios florísticos, y en particular los que tratan sobre las Hylocereeae, son escasos. Se pre- senta un estudio florístico taxonómico de las Cactaceae en Tabasco para conocer la riqueza y distribución de sus especies, se generó un listado de especies nativas y cultivadas y se presenta una clave de identificación de las especies para Tabasco. Métodos: Se consultaron los herbarios CSAT, MEXU, UJAT y XAL, así como literatura taxonómica pertinente para tener una aproximación de la diver- sidad de Cactaceae en Tabasco. Se realizó trabajo de campo en todos los tipos de vegetación del estado para obtener las muestras necesarias; éstas se depositaron en el herbario UJAT. Con el material colectado y los ejemplares revisados en los herbarios, se realizaron claves de identificación para los géneros y especies registrados. Resultados clave: En Tabasco se registran siete géneros y 14 especies de cactáceas, seis de las cuales representan nuevos registros para el estado. El género Selenicereus es el más diverso, mientras que el bosque tropical perennifolio y el municipio Tacotalpa presentaron la mayor riqueza de espe- cies. Conclusiones: Las cactáceas en Tabasco se encuentran pobremente representadas en comparación con los estados del centro-norte de México; sin embargo, con los estados de Campeche y Yucatán se observa una notoria similitud en cuanto a la riqueza de especies. Palabras clave: endemismo, epífitas, florística, Hylocereeae, nuevos registros.

JOURNAL Nature Plants DEPOSITED IN ORE 01 September 2015 This version available at http://hdl.handle.net/10871/18155 COPYRIGHT AND REUSE Open Research Exeter makes this work available in accordance with publisher policies. A NOTE ON VERSIONS The version presented here may differ from the published version. If citing, you are advised to consult the published version for pagination, volume/issue and date of publication High proportion of cactus species threatened with extinction Supplementary Information Supplementary Methods References (26-37) Database IUCN’s online database, the Species Information Service (SIS), was used to capture the species information. This database was developed to capture and store the information necessary to carry out conservation assessments using the IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria 2. It consists of text and numeric fields, and the different classification schemes (e.g. habitat types, threats, use and trade; 5) are integrated as selection boxes. This allows for post hoc analyses. Data compilation The first step in data compilation consisted of populating the SIS database with information available from the literature. The information was entered in the form of the species distributions, population trends, habitat preferences and ecology, conservation actions, use and trade. This task was carried out prior to the workshops (see below) to provide the experts with information they could build on to assess species. Occurrence point data Over 38,000 occurrence point data records were compiled from academic institutions and experts, in the form of geographic coordinates.
