Calycanthus floridus (Calycanthaceae)-- a nomenclatural note

Characterization of 31 microsatellite markers for Sinocalycanthus chinensis (Calycanthaceae), an endemic endangered species1

PREMISE OF THE STUDY Thirty-one microsatellite markers were developed for Sinocalycanthus chinensis (Calycanthaceae), an endemic endangered species in China. METHODS AND RESULTS Twenty-one polymorphic and 10 monomorphic microsatellite markers of S. chinensis were developed using methods of biotin-streptavidin capture and capillary electrophoresis. The number of alleles per locus was one to 20...

Chemical Composition of the Essential Oil from Flowers of Calycanthus floridus L. var.Oblongifolius (Nutt.) D.E. Boufford & S.A. Spongberg from Iran

The essential oil obtained by hydrodistillation of flowers of Calycanthus floridus L. var.oblongifolius (Nutt.) D.E. Boufford & S.A. Spongberg, planted in Sabzevar, Khorasan Province(Iran), was analyzed by GC and GC/MS. Eighteen compounds representing 90.1% of theflower oil of Calycanthus floridus L. var. oblongifolius were identified, among them 1,8-cineol(33.1%), bornyl acetate (14.1%), α-pin...

Wood Anatomy of Calycanthaceae

Calycanthus chinensis: The Chinese Sweetshrub

are oppositely arranged with short petioles and are glossy green with a touch of roughness on the upper surface. In the Boston area its nodding flowers appear in mid to late spring. Appearances notwithstanding, the sepals and petals are not differentiated (therefore termed tepals): the outer tepals are a silky white with a tinge of pink and a diameter of two to three inches, while the inner tep...

Molecular phylogeny and intra- and intercontinental biogeography of Calycanthaceae.

Based on nuclear and chloroplast sequences we resolve species relationships in Calycanthaceae and develop a biogeographic hypothesis that explains their intercontinental disjunctions and intra-continental diversification in eastern Asia. Fossil-calibrated penalized likelihood and Bayesian divergence time estimates indicate that the Northern Hemisphere Calycanthus and Chimonanthus diverged from ...
