VAN GELDEREN Sectie Racemus T.Z. Hsu (Enkianthella PALIBIN) E. campanularus (MIQUEL) NICHOLSON var. campanularus Het geslacht Enkianrhus omvat volgens de thans "aangenomen" opvattingen 17 soorten. Het zijn E. campanularus var. longilobus (NAKAI) MAKINO doorgaans opgaande, goed vertakte struiken van 4-5 m hoog. Enkele soorten kunnen uitgroeien tot E. campanularus var. palibinii BEAN kleine bomen, maar dit komt zelden voor. Bijna alle Enkianrhus-species zijn bladverliezend. De E. campanularus var. rubicundus (MATSUMURA & NAKAI) MAKINO bladeren staan in kransen op korte zijscheuten bijeen. Op lange jonge scheuten zijn ze langer, meer E. chinensis FRANCHET gezaagd en niet in kransen gerangschikt, maar verspreid langs de twijg. De bladeren zijn ovaal­ E. deflexus (GRIFFITH) ScHNEIDER elliptisch, doorgaans fijn gezaagd en met een scherp toelopende bladtop. In de zomer is de bladkleur E. sikokianus (PALJBIN) ÛHWI gewoonlijk donkergroen tot paarsachtig groen; in de herfst zijn de bladeren vaak prachtig gekleurd. De bloemen omstreeks mei zijn klokvormig of kruikvormig, vijflobbig, meestal in hangende trosjes Sectie Meisteria NAKAI in diverse kleuren, van wit door geelroze naar bijna rood. De kelk is klein en onopvallend en er zijn E. cemuus (SIEBOLD & ZuccARINI) MAKINO 10 meeldraden. De doosvruchten zijn klein, rond en gaan in oktober-november open. De zaden zijn E. cemuus var. marsudae (KOMATSU) MAKINO bijzonder klein. E. cemuus var. rubens (MAXIMOWICZ) MAKINO Alle soorten zijn inheems in Japan, China en Himalaja. De meeste soorten zijn winterhard in Europa (zone 7), alleen enkele soorten uit de Himalaja en Zuidoost-China moeten worden beschut (zone Sectie Monanthus T.Z. Hsu 8/10). (De genoemde zones zijn de Europese winterhardheidszones). E. pauciflorus WILS. (in Gardener's Chr., Ser. 3, p.363, 1907) Voor zover bekend worden Enkianrhus-soorten niet gebruikt voor enig medisch of industrieel doel. De in Japan erkende formae zijn in de synopsis opgenomen. Voorts zijn er enkele cultivars die bij de desbetreffende species zullen worden genoemd. ' GRONDSOORT EN STANDPLAATS / Alle soorten van Enkianrhus moeten worden geplant op een venige of zandige, zure grond en worden SORTIMENT behandeld als Rhododendron. In het algemeen kunnen ze beter tegen droogte dan andere geslachten van de Ericaceae en ze groeien ook goed op een standplaats in de volle zon. Hieronder volgt de beschrijving van de species in alfabetische volgorde: Er zijn slechts weinig soorten en cultivars in de handel verkrijgbaar. Het zijn weliswaar allemaal zeer decoratieve planten, die vooral opvallen door hun mooie bloemen en hun fraaie herfstkleuren. Enkianthus campanulatus (MIQUEL) NICHOLSON- Japan (Honshu en Z.O.-Hokkaido) _Zone 6 _ zie kleurenfoto blz. 35 SYSTEMATIEK basioniem: Andromeda campanulara MIQUEL syn. Enkianrhus larijlorus CRAIB De geslachtsnaam Enkianrhus werd gegeven door de Portugese botanicus Joao de Loureiro. Enkianrhus pendulus CRAJB Aanleiding was de afsplitsing van het geslacht Andromeda, ooit door Linnaeus zo genoemd, toen er Enkianrhus recurvus CRAIB nog weinig soorten bekend waren. De vloed van Aziatische soorten leidde tot een rigoureuze Enkianthus recrus CRAIB opsplitsing in nieuwe geslachten, waarvan Enkianrhus er één was. Meisreria campanulara NAKAI In 1810 beschreef De Loureiro het geslacht Enkianrhus en verdeelde het in 4 secties, namelijk: sectie Triromodon campanularus (MIQUEL) MAEKAWA Enkianthus, sectie Andromedina, sectie Enkiantella en sectie Meisteria. GROEIWIJZE: bladverliezende, vrij steil-opgaande, sterk vertakte struik of soms kleine meerstamruige Enkianrhus betekent: vergrote bloem, dit wil zeggen dat de bloemen door een bandje worden boom, 4-5 m hoog, soms bijna even breed of breder. omsloten en zodoende een klokje of kruikje vormen.

  • 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.

Box 50007, SE-104 05 Stockholm, Sweden Phylogenetic interrelationships in the enlarged order Ericales were investigated by jackknife analysis of a combination of DNA sequences from the plastid genes rbcL, ndhF, atpB, and the mitochondrial genes atp1 and matR. Several well-supported groups were identi®ed, but neither a combination of all gene sequences nor any one alone fully resolved the relationships between all major clades in Ericales. All investigated families except Theaceae were found to be monophyletic. Four families, Marcgraviaceae, Balsaminaceae, Pellicieraceae, and Tetrameristaceae form a monophyletic group that is the sister of the remaining families. On the next higher level, Fouquieriaceae and Polemoniaceae form a clade that is sister to the majority of families that form a group with eight supported clades between which the interrelationships are unresolved: Theaceae-Ternstroemioideae with Ficalhoa, Sladenia, and Pentaphylacaceae; Theaceae-Theoideae; Ebenaceae and Lissocarpaceae; Symplocaceae; Maesaceae, Theophrastaceae, Primulaceae, and Myrsinaceae; Styr- acaceae and Diapensiaceae; Lecythidaceae and Sapotaceae; Actinidiaceae, Roridulaceae, Sarraceniaceae, Clethraceae, Cyrillaceae, and Ericaceae.

  • Expected and Unexpected Evolution of Plant
    Hein and Knoop BMC Evolutionary Biology (2018) 18:85 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12862-018-1203-4 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Expected and unexpected evolution of plant RNA editing factors CLB19, CRR28 and RARE1: retention of CLB19 despite a phylogenetically deep loss of its two known editing targets in Poaceae Anke Hein and Volker Knoop* Abstract Background: C-to-U RNA editing in mitochondria and chloroplasts and the nuclear-encoded, RNA-binding PPR proteins acting as editing factors present a wide field of co-evolution between the different genetic systems in a plant cell. Recent studies on chloroplast editing factors RARE1 and CRR28 addressing one or two chloroplast editing sites, respectively, found them strictly conserved among 65 flowering plants as long as one of their RNA editing targets remained present. Results: Extending the earlier sampling to 117 angiosperms with high-quality genome or transcriptome data, we find more evidence confirming previous conclusions but now also identify cases for expected evolutionary transition states such as retention of RARE1 despite loss of its editing target or the degeneration of CRR28 truncating its carboxyterminal DYW domain. The extended angiosperm set was now used to explore CLB19, an “E+”-type PPR editing factor targeting two chloroplast editing sites, rpoAeU200SF and clpPeU559HY, in Arabidopsis thaliana. We found CLB19 consistently conserved if one of the two targets was retained and three independent losses of CLB19 after elimination of both targets. The Ericales show independent regains of the ancestrally lost clpPeU559HY editing, further explaining why multiple-target editing factors are lost much more rarely than single target factors like RARE1.

Research efforts are hindered by the lack of basic information: the phylogenetic distribution of autumn colours. It is not known when and how autumn colours evolved. † Methods Data are reported on the autumn colours of 2368 tree species belonging to 400 genera of the temperate regions of the world, and an analysis is made of their phylogenetic relationships in order to reconstruct the evol- utionary origin of red and yellow in autumn leaves. † Key Results Red autumn colours are present in at least 290 species (70 genera), and evolved independently at least 25 times. Yellow is present independently from red in at least 378 species (97 genera) and evolved at least 28 times. † Conclusions The phylogenetic reconstruction suggests that autumn colours have been acquired and lost many times during evolution. This scattered distribution could be explained by hypotheses involving some kind of coevolutionary interaction or by hypotheses that rely on the need for photoprotection.

The biotic and abiotic mechanisms behind such dispersal events are poorly understood and many attempts have been made to explain how plants can manage to disperse and survive these long journeys. The biogeographic history of Boraginaceae, a subcosmopolitan plant family with many disjunct clades, is here addressed and analyzed in the context of the different dispersal modes exhibited by the species. The lack of a clear pattern between the main dispersal events in Boraginaceae and the phylogenetic distribution of the dispersal modes indicates that no single dispersal mechanism can be associated with the events of dispersal in the family. Moreover, adaptations to different dispersal agents Edited by: and unassisted dispersal modes in some clades might have promoted the diversification Marco A.

Na Skarpie 27, 00-488 Warsaw, Poland; e-mail: [email protected] Received 28 February 2017; accepted for publication 18 May 2017 ABSTRACT. Carbonaceous, three-dimensionally preserved macroscopic plant remains from the Lubstów, Gosławice and Pątnów brown coal open-pit mines are described and illustrated, providing a comprehensive elaboration of the middle Miocene carpological floras of the Konin region. The diaspores represent the follow- ing families: Pinaceae, Sciadopityaceae, Cupressaceae, Annonaceae, Cabombaceae, Nymphaeaceae, Araceae, Typhaceae, Cyperaceae, Vitaceae, Rosaceae, Rhamnaceae, Fagaceae, Myricaceae, Cornaceae, Nyssaceae, Sym- plocaceae, Ericaceae, Araliaceae, and Adoxaceae. Forty-two species were recognised or documented for the first time in the Konin region. Two genera, three species and three morphotypes are described as new taxa. Most of these plant remains represent azonal vegetation. Ericaceous bogs, pine bogs and mixed coniferous bogs, accompanied by Gyptostrobus swamp forests and various aquatic plant communities, are suggested as the most widespread vegetation types. Remains representing mesophytic, zonal vegetation, resembling extant ever- green broad-leaved and mixed mesophytic forests, are sparse. A Sciadopitys raised bog, a mixed coniferous bog subtype, was one of the important biomass sources forming the brown coal of the I-Middle Polish seam group. Other bog types recognised in Lubstów presumably also played a part in this process. Wildfire is suggested as an important factor controlling the Miocene vegetation of the Konin region.

The result suggested that Enkianthus was separated into two groups; i.e., sect. Enkianthus with umbellate inflorescences and a clade of sect. Andromedina, sect. Enkiantella and sect. Meisteria with race- mose inflorescences. It also inferred that the ancestral Enkianthus seems likely to be shrubs with tubular or urceolate corollas and 4–5-apertured pollen, whereas the more derived species may pos- sess campanulate corollas and 3-apertured pollen.
