  • 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. Basal Angiosperms (ANITA grade) Amborellales Amborellaceae, sole family, the earliest branch of flowering plants, a shrub native to New Caledonia – Amborella Nymphaeales Hydatellaceae – aquatics from Australasia, previously classified as a grass Cabombaceae (water shield – Brasenia, fanwort – Cabomba) Nymphaeaceae (water lilies – Nymphaea; pond lilies – Nuphar) Austrobaileyales Schisandraceae (wild sarsaparilla, star vine – Schisandra; Japanese

(L-R, Dr. Theodosius Dobzhansky, Dr. Steve Bryant, Dr. Richard Lewontin, Dr. Steve Jones, Dr. TimEDITOR’S Prout. Photo NOTE by Dr. John Moore, courtesy of Steve Jones) Editor’s Note The publications cited in this volume specifically mention and/or discuss Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, locations and/or features known to occur within the present-day boundaries of Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, biological, geological, paleontological or anthropological specimens collected from localities within the present-day boundaries of Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, or events that have occurred within those same boundaries. This compendium is not now, nor will it ever be complete (barring, of course, the end of the Earth or the Park). Many, many people have helped to corral the references contained herein (see below). Any errors of omission and comission are the fault of the editor – who would be grateful to have such errors and omissions pointed out! [[email protected]] ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS As mentioned above, many many people have contributed to building this database of knowledge about Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. A quantum leap was taken somewhere in 2016-17 when Kevin Browne introduced me to Google Scholar – and we were off to the races. Elaine Tulving deserves a special mention for her assistance in dealing with formatting issues, keeping printers working, filing hard copies, ignoring occasional foul language – occasionally falling prey to it herself, and occasionally livening things up with an exclamation of “oh come on now, you just made that word up!” Bob Theriault assisted in many ways and now has a lifetime job, if he wants it, entering these references into Zotero.

  • Native Trees and Plants for Birds and People in the Caribbean Planting for Birds in the Caribbean
    Native Trees and Plants for Birds and People in the Caribbean Planting for Birds in the Caribbean If you’re a bird lover yearning for a brighter, busier backyard, native plants are your best bet. The Caribbean’s native trees, shrubs and flowers are great for birds and other wildlife, and they’re also a part of the region’s unique natural heritage. There’s no better way to celebrate the beauty, culture and birds of the Caribbean than helping some native plants get their roots down. The Habitat Around You Habitat restoration sounds like something that is done by governments in national parks, but in reality it can take many forms. Native plants can turn backyards and neighborhood parks into natural habitats that attract and sustain birds and other wildlife. In the Caribbean, land is precious—particularly the coastal areas where so many of us live. Restoring native habitat within our neighborhoods allows us to share the land with native plants and animals. Of course, it doesn’t just benefit the birds. Native landscaping makes neighborhoods more beautiful and keeps us in touch with Caribbean traditions. Why Native Plants? Many plants can help birds and beautify neighborhoods, but native plants really stand out. Our native plants and animals have developed over millions of years to live in harmony: pigeons eat fruits and then disperse seeds, hummingbirds pollinate flowers while sipping nectar. While many plants can benefit birds, native plants almost always do so best due to the partnerships they have developed over the ages. In addition to helping birds, native plants are themselves worthy of celebration.

  • Haustorium Initiation and Early Development
    Chapter 4 1 Haustorium Initiation and Early 2 Development 3 Pradeepa C.G. Bandaranayake and John I. Yoder 4 4.1 Introduction 5 The ability to develop invasive haustoria is the key feature of parasitic angiosperms. 6 The haustorium attaches the parasite to the host, penetrates the host while keeping 7 its own tissues intact, develops a vascular continuity between the host and parasite 8 and ultimately provides the conduit through which host and parasite materials flow. 9 The ability to make haustoria distinguishes parasitic from non-parasitic plants; 10 indeed, ‘the haustorium embodies the very idea of parasitism’ (Kuijt 1969). 11 This chapter reviews the initiation and pre-attachment development of terminal 12 and lateral haustoria in parasitic Orobanchaceae. Haustoria have been described for 13 many genera of Orobanchaceae, but their initiation and development has been 14 investigated in a relatively small number of species. Most of these studies have 15 investigated the development of terminal haustoria in the weedy species Striga 16 asiatica (Saunders 1933; William 1961; Nickrent et al. 1979; Keyes et al. 2007), 17 S. hermonthica (Okonkwo 1966; Olivier et al. 1991), S. gesnerioides (Okonkwo 18 and Nwoke 1978), Phelipanche aegyptiaca (syn. Orobanche aegyptiaca) and 19 O. cumana (Joel and Losner-Goshen 1994; Zhou et al. 2004) and Alectra vogelii 20 (Nwoke and Okonkwo 1978; Visser et al. 1990). Studies in the development of 21 lateral haustoria have primarily focussed on three facultative species: Agalinis 22 purpurea (Riopel and Musselman 1979; Baird and Riopel 1984), Castilleja exserta 23 (previously known as Orthocarpus purpurascens) (Atsatt et al.
