The garden was opened to the public in 1973. The Garden's plant collection consist of about 3500 taxa which are exhibited in the thematic sections: japanese garden, plant taxonomy section, alpine garden, decorative plant section, park greenery, medicinal plant section, polish flora section and arboretum. The biggest attraction of the Garden are: a collection of 50 000 tulips forming in late april picturesque carpet, a collection of peonies and daylilies represented by many varieties, collection of medicinal plants, lilacs, hydrangeas, ornamental apple trees and many others. In the Garden there are several educational paths which allow visitors to explore the mysteries of nature. The new attraction of the Botanic Garden is The Open-air Plant Museum with traditional rural garden and orchard. The Botanic Garden has also an interesting collection of greenhouse plants (2170 taxa), which is presented in the Palm House. There are three pavilions: subtropical flora, cacti and other succulents and tropical flora with ,the oldest in Poland, palm trees. The integral part of the Palm House is a Didactic Garden which has a lot of plant rarities, especially shrubs and trees. Primarily the Garden performs didactic functions, popularizes horticultural, botanic and ecological knowledge and plays the social role. Garden staff conduct a variety of educational activities such as workshops, laboratory exercises and guided tours for children and adults. During each year there are more than 20 organized thematic Tulips collection exhibitions and outdoor events. A very important role of the Garden is also rare and endangered plant species conservation. Digitalis purpurea L.

GURALNICK 1Florida Museum of Natural History 2Biology, University of Florida 3Author for correspondence: [email protected] 1 Sequencing: Sequencing followed previously developed methods1 with the following modifications: library preparation was performed by RAPiD Genomics (Gainesville, FL; using TruSeq-like adapters as in Folk et al. 2015), the targeted insert size was > 200 bp, and sequencing used a 300-cyle (150 bp read) kit for a HiSeq 3000 instrument. The overall outgroup sampling (21 taxa total; Supplementary Table S1) was improved > 5 fold.2 This includes several representatives each of all lineages that have been hypothesized to undergo hybridization in the Heuchera group of genera. For the transcriptomes, reads were assembled against the low-copy nuclear loci from our targeted enrichment experiment, where the targets stripped of intronic sequence but assembly methods otherwise followed a previously developed BWA-based approach1. Transcriptomic reads were also mapped to a Heuchera parviflora var. saurensis chloroplast genome reference1 which was stripped of intronic and intergenic sequence. Assembly methods for target-enriched data followed the BWA-based approach1 directly. In practice, intronic sequence can be recovered from RNAseq data,3 but has consistently lower coverage (pers. obs.); moreover non-coding read dropout can be expected to be high for more divergent outgroups added here. For this reason, only coding reference sequences were used to assemble transcriptomic taxa. For nuclear analyses, reads were assembled with 277 references comprising the gene sequences used for bait design, with intronic sequences stripped.

THOMAS Institute of Botanical Training, LLC 111 County Road 3260 Salem, Missouri 65560 [email protected] ABSTRACT An annotated checklist of the 2,961 vascular taxa comprising the flora of Missouri is presented, with conservatism rankings for Floristic Quality Assessment. The list also provides standardized acronyms for each taxon and information on nativity, physiognomy, and wetness ratings. Annotated comments for selected taxa provide taxonomic, floristic, and ecological information, particularly for taxa not recognized in recent treatments of the Missouri flora. Synonymy crosswalks are provided for three references commonly used in Missouri. A discussion of the concept and application of Floristic Quality Assessment is presented. To accurately reflect ecological and taxonomic relationships, new combinations are validated for two distinct taxa, Dichanthelium ashei and D. werneri , and problems in application of infraspecific taxon names within Quercus shumardii are clarified.

  • Reproductive Characteristics As Drivers of Alien Plant Naturalization and Invasion
    Reproductive characteristics as drivers of alien plant naturalization and invasion Dissertation submitted for the degree of Doctor of Natural Sciences presented by Mialy Harindra Razanajatovo at the Faculty of Sciences Department of Biology Date of the oral examination: 12 February 2016 First referee: Prof. Dr. Mark van Kleunen Second referee: Prof. Dr. Markus Fischer Konstanzer Online-Publikations-System (KOPS) URL: http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bsz:352-0-324483 Summary Due to human activity and global movements, many plant species have been introduced to non-native regions where they experience novel abiotic and biotic conditions. Some of these alien species manage to establish reproducing naturalized populations, and some naturalized alien species subsequently become invasive. Invasion by alien plant species can negatively affect native communities and ecosystems, but what gives the alien species an advantage under novel conditions is still not clear. Therefore, identifying the drivers of invasions has become a major goal in invasion ecology. Reproduction is crucial in plant invasions, because propagule supply is required for founding new populations, population maintenance and spread in non-native regions. Baker’s Law, referring to the superior advantage of species capable of uniparental reproduction in establishing after long distance dispersal, has received major interest in explaining plant invasions. However, previous findings regarding Baker’s Law are contradicting. Moreover, there has been an increasing interest in understanding the integration of alien plant species into native plant-pollinator networks but few studies have looked at the pollination ecology of successful (naturalized and invasive) and unsuccessful (non-naturalized and non-invasive) alien plant species.

  • HIGH ELEVATION ROCKY SUMMIT (TYPIC SUBTYPE) Concept: High
    HIGH ELEVATION ROCKY SUMMIT (TYPIC SUBTYPE) Concept: High Elevation Rocky Summits are communities of flat-to-vertical outcrops of fractured rock on ridge tops, upper-to-mid slopes, or other topographically exposed settings, at high elevations, generally above 4000 feet. Vegetation of Rocky Summits is sparse or patchy, with substantial amounts of bare rock, and is generally characterized by a mix of growth forms or by predominantly forbs and sparse woody vegetation. The Typic Subtype covers most examples, lacking the distinctive characteristics of other subtypes. Their substrates range from felsic to mafic but they lack a strong component of flora associated with basic soils or with the highest elevations. Distinguishing Features: High Elevation Rocky Summits are distinguished from forests, shrublands, and grasslands by a structure of sparse vegetation or herbaceous vegetation of moderate cover with extensive bare rock. Patches of shrub cover are generally present on edges or in pockets of deep soil, but large areas of shrub dominance should be considered Heath Balds. High Elevation Rocky Summits are distinguished from High Elevation Granitic Domes by having abundant fractured rock, in contrast to the largely smooth exfoliated bedrock of the domes. Montane Cliff communities generally occur at lower elevation than 4000 feet; they also are distinguished not by steepness but by a more topographically sheltered setting, below mid slope or protected by gorge walls or other topography. High Elevation Rocky Summits are distinguished from Low Elevation Rocky Summits by the general absence of low elevation plants such as Diodia teres, Phemeranthus (Talium) teretifolius, Bryodesma (Selaginella) rupestre, and Quercus montana. High elevation plants that are generally absent in Low Elevation Rocky Summits include Sibbaldiopsis tridentata, Trichophorum cespitosum, Carex brunnescens, Geum radiatum, Liatris helleri, Solidago spithamaea, Houstonia montana, Rhododendron (Menziesia) pilosum, Abies fraseri, Picea rubens, and Sorbus americana.
