Box 208106, New Haven, Connecticut 06520-8106, U.S.A. Broad-scale phylogenetic analyses of the angiosperms and of the Asteridae have failed to confidently resolve relationships among the major lineages of the campanulid Asteridae (i.e., the euasterid II of APG II, 2003). To address this problem we assembled presently available sequences for a core set of 50 taxa, representing the diver- sity of the four largest lineages (Apiales, Aquifoliales, Asterales, Dipsacales) as well as the smaller “unplaced” groups (e.g., Bruniaceae, Paracryphiaceae, Columelliaceae). We constructed four data matrices for phylogenetic analysis: a chloroplast coding matrix (atpB, matK, ndhF, rbcL), a chloroplast non-coding matrix (rps16 intron, trnT-F region, trnV-atpE IGS), a combined chloroplast dataset (all seven chloroplast regions), and a combined genome matrix (seven chloroplast regions plus 18S and 26S rDNA). Bayesian analyses of these datasets using mixed substitution models produced often well-resolved and supported trees.

  • Calophyllum Inophyllum Beauty Leaf1 Edward F
    Fact Sheet ST-115 November 1993 Calophyllum inophyllum Beauty Leaf1 Edward F. Gilman and Dennis G. Watson2 INTRODUCTION This upright, pyramidal, densely foliated evergreen tree can reach 60 feet in height in the forest with a 30 to 40-foot spread, but is generally much smaller because it grows slowly (Fig. 1). This is an asset in tropical landscapes, where many other plants grow so fast. Greenish, showy, 3/4-inch, very fragrant flowers are produced on eight-inch racemes in the summer. The round, yellow, 1.5-inch-wide fruit contains a single seed with a nutlike kernel that may be poisonous. The seven-inch-long, glossy, dark green, stiff, leathery leaves have numerous, distinct parallel veins at right angles to the midrib. The trunk has light grey, shallowly-ridged bark, and the wood is valued for boat building and cabinet work. GENERAL INFORMATION Scientific name: Calophyllum inophyllum Figure 1.

  • Creation and Carnivory in the Pitcher Plants of Nepenthaceae and Sarraceniaceae
    OPEN ACCESS JCTS Article SERIES B Creation and Carnivory in the Pitcher Plants of Nepenthaceae and Sarraceniaceae R.W. Sanders and T.C. Wood Core Academy of Science, Dayton, TN Abstract The morphological adaptations of carnivorous plants and taxonomic distributions of those adaptations are reviewed, as are the conflicting classifications of the plants based on the adaptations, reproductive morphology, and DNA sequences. To begin developing a creationist understanding of the origin of plant carnivory, we here focus specifically on pitcher plants of Nepenthaceae and Sarraceniaceae because their popularity as cultivated curiosities has generated a literature resource amenable to baraminological analysis. Hybridization records were augmented by total nucleotide differences to assess species similarities. Nonhybridizing species falling within the molecular range of hybridizing species were included in the monobaramin of the hybridizing species. The combined data support each of the three genera of the Sarraceniaceae as a monobaramin, but the three could not be combined into a larger monobaramin. With the Nepenthaceae, the data unequivocally place 73% of the species in a single monobaramin, strongly suggesting the whole genus (and, thus, family) is a monobaramin. The lack of variation in the carnivorous habit provides no evidence for the intrabaraminic origin of carnivory from non-carnivorous plants. An array of fascinating symbiotic relationships of pitchers in some species with unusual bacteria, insects, and vertebrates are known and suggest the origin of carnivory from benign functions of the adaptive structures. However, these symbioses still do not account for the apparent complex design for carnivory characteristic of all species in the two families. Editor: J.W.

Scientific Names Index 353 XI. Endpiece ORNAMENTAL GARDEN PLANTS OF THE GUIANAS Introduction I. Historical Setting of the Guianan Plant Heritage The Guianas are embedded high in the green shoulder of northern South America, an area once known as the "Wild Coast". They are the only non-Latin American countries in South America, and are situated just north of the Equator in a configuration with the Amazon River of Brazil to the south and the Orinoco River of Venezuela to the west. The three Guianas comprise, from west to east, the countries of Guyana (area: 83,000 square miles; capital: Georgetown), Surinam (area: 63, 037 square miles; capital: Paramaribo) and French Guiana (area: 34, 740 square miles; capital: Cayenne). Perhaps the earliest physical contact between Europeans and the present-day Guianas occurred in 1500 when the Spanish navigator Vincente Yanez Pinzon, after discovering the Amazon River, sailed northwest and entered the Oyapock River, which is now the eastern boundary of French Guiana.

    ENH878 Croton Production and Use1 Robert H. Stamps and Lance S. Osborne2 FAMILY: Euphorbiaceae GENUS: Codiaeum SPECIFIC EPITHET: variegatum CULTIVARS: ‘Banana’, ‘Gold Dust’, ‘Mammy’, ‘Norma’, ‘Petra’, ‘Sunny Star’ and many others. Crotons have been popular in tropical gardens for centuries. Crotons grow into shrubs and small trees in their native habitats of India, Malaysia, and some of the South Pacific islands. Few other plants can surpass them in both foliage color and leaf shape variation. Leaf colors range from reds, oranges and yellows to green with all combinations of variegated colors. Leaf shapes vary from broad and elliptical to narrow and almost linear. Leaf blades range from flat to cork-screw-shaped. Since some cultivars are tolerant of interior environments, crotons have also become very popular as interior potted foliage plants. One additional point, often overlooked, is that foliage of crotons Figure 1. Crotons are useful for adding color to floral arrangements, is excellent material for use in floral arrangements.

  • Deletion of Cephalotus Follicularis from Appendix II
    Prop. 11.6 CONVENTION ON INTERNATIONAL TRADE IN ENDANGERED SPECIES OF WILD FAUNA AND FLORA A. PROPOSAL Deletion of Cephalotus follicularis from Appendix II. B. PROPONENT Commonwealth of Australia (Environment Australia) C. SUPPORTING STATEMENT The monotypic genus Cephalotus is an insectivorous plant endemic to south western Australia. It occurs on wetland margins throughout the southwest corner of Western Australia. This portion of Western Australia has a high rainfall and as a result there are extensive areas of suitable habitat, especially on the south coastal plain. Within its range are large areas of government owned forests, National Parks and other reserves where the species is common and is likely to occur in vast numbers. The species is easily propagated from small segments of rhizomes and, as a result, it is commonly traded and is widely cultivated. Morphological variation in wild populations is not evident. As the species is easily propagated, it is unlikely that cultivated stocks are derived from wild collections. Cephalotus follicularis has been identified by the CITES Plants Committee under the Ten Year Review as a candidate for deletion from Appendix II as there has been no recorded trade in wild taken specimens since the species was listed. The proposal received full endorsement of the 5th meeting of the CITES Plants Committee in Mexico, May 1994. 1. Taxonomy 1.1. Class Magnoliatae 1.2. Order Rosales 1.3. Family Cephalotaceae 1.4.

  • Giant Cephalotus of Unknown Origins
    Giant Cephalotus of unknown origins Dick Chan • P.O. Box 2252 • Pasadena • California 91102 • USA • [email protected] Introduction I have been growing Cephalotus follicularis for over 20 years. Initially, I was obsessed with grow- ing specimen-type Cephalotus of different clones and to prove once-and-for-all that this was not a difficult plant to grow. Countless plants have met their demise as I experimented with various meth- ods of cultivation. For those that have survived and flourished, I noticed one plant in particular that grew larger, more vigorous, and had a different pitcher/leaf morphology than Cephalotus ‘Hummer’s Giant’ and the typical Cephalotus. However, I do not believe this plant to be just a better-grown speci- men of ‘Hummer’s Giant’. Through the years, I have given and sold this plant to individuals calling it the “Bubble Giant”, however, I have not received nor heard any feedback as to the well-being of those plants. So, for those reading this article and have received this plant from me, I would appreciate seeing some photos. For the remainder of this article, this plant will be referred to as the “unknown”. Origins During my initial spark-of-entry into the hobby, I started collecting Cephalotus cuttings, plants, stems, and leaves from anyone who had the plant and was willing to give or sell a piece to me. Be- cause of that activity, this plant is of an unknown origin because of the feverish pace by which I went about amassing what I had hoped would become a genetically diverse collection of plants.
