  8. Monstera deliciosa

  9. Monstera deliciosa • Family: Araceae • Monocot • Perennial, often huge, herbs; mostly tropical. • Aerial stems and the stems erect • Climbing by means of aerial roots • Edible fruit

  10. Nuphar sp

  11. Nuphar sp.Yellow Pondlily • Dry porous rhizomes ground fine and applied to wounds as a styptic (Sioux) • Parched seeds eaten like popcorn (various tribes) • Seedpods well flavored and nutritious • Thick, fleshy rhizomes used in meat stews • Decoction of rootstocks added to bath water to treat rheumatism (Flathead)

  12. Asarum caudatum

  13. Asarum caudatum Lindl.Wild Ginger • Used as analgesic and antirheumatic cures • Gastrointestinal treatment • Dried and pounded leaves used as snuff (Cheyenne) • Poultice of fresh leaves applied to wounds (Cheyenne) • Root used as an appetizer in all cooked foods

  14. Aquilegia coerulea JamesFamily: Ranunculaceae

  15. Aquilegia spFamily: Ranunculaceae • Infusion of roots taken for heart trouble (Cheyenne) • As candy, flowers sucked for the sweet nectar (all tribes) • Seed chewed or infusion of roots used when ‘sick all over’ • Flowers and entire plant kept as good luck charm

  16. Argeome polyanthemos

  17. Argeome polyanthemosFamily: Ranunculaceae • Salve of pulverized seed used on burns, cuts, and scrapes. • Used to make a yellow dye (Sioux) • Poultice of pounded, ripe seeds applied as hemorrhoid remedy. • Moistened, pulverized seed used to kill head lice. • Infusion used as eye wash

  18. Plant Sub-classes • Magnoliopsida (Dicots) • Magnoliidae • Hamamelidae • Caryophyllidae • Dilleniidae • Rosidae • Asteridae • Liliopsida (Monocots) • Alismatidae • Arecidae • Commelinidae • Zingiberidae • Liliidae • (Arthur Cronquist. 1988. The Evolution and Classification of Flowering Plants)

  19. Dicot Phyletic Relationships • (Arthur Cronquist. 1988. The Evolution and Classification of Flowering Plants) • This alignment features the Magnoliidae as including extant dicot elements that carry the greatest number of archaic features (similar to the 'original' flowering plant) and the Asteridae (Sunflowers and relatives) as the most 'derived' or specialized element of the Class.

  20. Rosidae • The Rosidae is the largest subclass of the flowering plants. Its 18 orders, 114 families, and over 58,000 species comprise over one third of the dicotyledonous families. The number of species is only approached by the Asteridae. Almost 75 percent of the species are classified in five orders – Fabales, Euphorbiales, Myrtales, Rosales, and Sapindales.

  21. Rosidae • The basal members of this sub-class are comparable to the primitive Magnoliidae whereas the most advanced members share features with members of the Asteridae.

  22. Rosidae ILarger flowers, apocarpous or monocarpous gynoecia • Basal (more primitive) orders: • Rosales • Fabales • Proteales • Podostemales • Haloragales • Myrtales • Rhizophorales • Cornales • Santalales • Rafflesiales

  23. Rosidae IIReduction in overall flower size, aggregation of flowers into complex inflorescences. • More advanced orders: • Celastrales • Euphorbiales • Rhamnales • Linales • Polygalales • Sapindales • Geraniales • Apiales

  24. Euphorbiaceae • More advanced Euphorbiales (Rosidae II) • Herbs, shrubs, stem succulents or trees, often with milky sap • Large (300 genera, 7500 species) pan-tropical family, sparingly represented in temperate areas. • Some of the succulent types of cactus bear a remarkable, superficial resemblance to columnar cacti. • The large genus, Euphorbia, has a unique, highly modified inflorescence called a cyanthium. The outer portion of this inflorescence consists of a cuplike involucre of 4-5 connate bracts.

  25. Euphorbia marginata Pursh.

  26. Croton texensis • Not documented in Montana, but should be in southeastern portion of state. Plant is documented in Wyoming.

  27. Euphorbia pulcherrimasyn Poinsettia pulcherrima • Christmas poinsettia • Native to Mexico and Central America. • Winter-flowering shrub to ten feet.

  28. Aceraceae • More advanced Sapindales (Rosidae II) • North temperate regions and southeast Asia • Shrubs or trees • Two to four genera in family with Acer genus only one represented in Montana • Common characteristic is opposite leaf arrangement and fruit a schizocarp.

  29. Acer glabrum Torrey

  30. Acer negundo L.

  31. Acer grandidentatum Nutt.

  32. Rutaceae • More advanced Sapindales (Rosidae II) • The citrus fruits are representative • Often armed with thorns • Widespread, especially common in tropic and sub-tropics of both Old and New Worlds • Herbs, shrubs, or trees • 150 genera and 900-1500 species • No representatives of this family natively occur in Montana

  33. Ruta graveolens L. • Survives as a perennial herb in Montana gardens. • Causes dermatitis in some people. • Native to southern Europe.

  34. Ptelea trifoliata • Native to North America • Strongly aromatic leaves • Aka Stinking Ash • Grows in Billings gardens

  35. Dictamnus albus L. • Native to southern Europe to northern Asia • Extremely variable perennial herb • Aka gas plant • Strong smelling • Survives perennially in Billings gardens

  36. Citrus x paradisiGrapefruit • Culture of grapefruit primarily developed in Florida and is essentially a North American enterprise • Important crop in south Texas and southern California. • Evergreen, usually thorny. • Genus native to se Asia • Fragrant leaves and flowers

  37. Phellodendron amurense • Rutaceae family • Grows in Billings gardens but native to Amur River region of eastern Asia • Skunk-like odor

  38. Rhus trilobata • Native to Montana and in family Anacardiaceae • Anacardiaceae in order Sapindales of sub-class Rosidae • Has distinctive odor • AKA skunkbush sumac
