Plant Collections
This worldwide collection features plants of documented wild origin from nearly every continent, with an emphasis on plants from mediterranean climates (California, Mediterranean Basin, Australia, South Africa, and Chile).
The arrangement of the outdoor collections is primarily geographic by continent of origin or by region including Asia, Australia, California, Eastern North America, Mediterranean, Mexico/Central America, New World Desert, South America, and South Africa.
The Garden holds one of the largest and most diverse collections in the United States:
UC Botanical Garden Entrance300+ families
2,710 genera
9,670 species
12,800 taxa
19,300 accessions (each accession represents one or more plants in the Garden).
The five best-represented families are:
Cactus family (2,029 accessions; 1,198 taxa),
Sunflower family (1,002 accessions; 771 taxa),
Orchid family (1,030 accessions; 711 taxa),
Lily family (1,097 accessions; 675 taxa), and
Heath family (979 accessions; 614 taxa).
The remainder are distributed among other families in the collection, including approximately 690 accessions of ferns and fern allies.
Each genus is assigned to one plant family. These assignments are in a state of change due to research findings in plant relationships through the use of DNA techniques. The Garden uses the standard of The Jepson Manual, Higher Plants of California, where applicable. A new edition of this manual is in progress, due out in 2010. The Garden will apply the names accepted in The Jepson Manual to the collection as resources allow. Names not addressed in The Jepson Manual will follow the standard set by the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group.
Detailed records are kept for each accession, including their place of origin, which enhances their scientific and educational value considerably. Each accession is accompanied by a public display label including accession number, family name, scientific name, and place of origin, and where appropriate, common name.
Taraxacum officinale Wiggers, 1780 - common dandelion in Ohio, USA (1 May 2015).
Plants are multicellular, photosynthesizing eucaryotes. Most species occupy terrestrial environments, but they also occur in freshwater and saltwater aquatic environments. The oldest known land plants in the fossil record are Ordovician to Silurian. Land plant body fossils are known in Silurian sedimentary rocks - they are small and simple plants (e.g., Cooksonia). Fossil root traces in paleosol horizons are known in the Ordovician. During the Devonian, the first trees and forests appeared. Earth's initial forestation event occurred during the Middle to Late Paleozoic. Earth's continents have been partly to mostly covered with forests ever since the Late Devonian. Occasional mass extinction events temporarily removed much of Earth's plant ecosystems - this occurred at the Permian-Triassic boundary (251 million years ago) and the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary (65 million years ago).
The most conspicuous group of living plants is the angiosperms, the flowering plants. They first unambiguously appeared in the fossil record during the Cretaceous. They quickly dominated Earth's terrestrial ecosystems, and have dominated ever since. This domination was due to the evolutionary success of flowers, which are structures that greatly aid angiosperm reproduction.

This picture depicts a bundle of freshly picked lychee that I was able to enjoy during summer from the lychee tree in my backyard in Honolulu, Hawaii. This tree is most commonly found in tropical areas. The fruit is very juicy and sweet in taste, consisting of a tough skin surrounding the edible white pulp with a seed in the middle of it. This picture was chosen to represent the seed plants which shows the fruit of the tree. This also explains the Angiosperm Life Cycle of a vascular plant.

THE AGE OF FLOWERING PLANTS
ANGIOSPERM means "seed borne in vessel," while GYMNOSPERM means "naked seed," a reference to the lack of protective structure enveloping the seed. One reason that flowering plants were able to diversify so dramatically and spread during the Cretaceous and Cenozoic, or modern, the era was the evolution of new structures and tissues such as the carpel, a womb-like vessel that encloses angiosperm seeds and endosperm, a placenta-like tissue that nourishes the young plant as it develop within the seed, Today, angiosperm dominate terrestrial life on the planet. At an estimated 422,000 species, they compose by far the largest group of plants. They grow in greater range of environments, exhibits a wider range of growth habits, and display more variation in form than any living group of plants. In size, angiosperm range from tiny duckweed to eucaplytuses more than 330 ft (100 m) tall. The explosion of angiosperm diversity has gone hand in hand with the proliferation of insect, birds, and other animals that pollinate their flowers, disperse their fruits and seeds, and eat their leaves.

Arisaema triphyllum (Linnaeus, 1753) - jack-in-the-pulpit in Ohio, USA.
Plants are multicellular, photosynthetic eucaryotes. The oldest known land plant body fossils are Silurian in age. Fossil root traces of land plants are known back in the Ordovician. The Devonian was the key time interval during which land plants flourished and Earth experienced its first “greening” of the land. The earliest land plants were small and simple and probably remained close to bodies of water. By the Late Devonian, land plants had evolved large, tree-sized bodies and the first-ever forests appeared.
The most conspicuous group of living plants is the angiosperms, the flowering plants. They first unambiguously appeared in the fossil record during the Cretaceous. They quickly dominated Earth's terrestrial ecosystems, and have dominated ever since. This domination was due to the evolutionary success of flowers, which are structures that greatly aid angiosperm reproduction.
The jack-in-the-pulpit is a moderately small angiosperm native to eastern America and eastern Canada.

Begonias are native to many tropical parts of the New World and Old World, plus many subtropical to temperate Southern Hemisphere areas. Tuberous begonias are man-made varieties produced by artificially hybridizing different Begonia species. Tuberous begonias are often referred to using the bizarre taxonomic term "Begonia x tuberhybrida".

THE AGE OF FLOWERING PLANTS
ANGIOSPERM means "seed borne in vessel," while GYMNOSPERM means "naked seed," a reference to the lack of protective structure enveloping the seed. One reason that flowering plants were able to diversify so dramatically and spread during the Cretaceous and Cenozoic, or modern, the era was the evolution of new structures and tissues such as the carpel, a womb-like vessel that encloses angiosperm seeds and endosperm, a placenta-like tissue that nourishes the young plant as it develop within the seed, Today, angiosperm dominate terrestrial life on the planet. At an estimated 422,000 species, they compose by far the largest group of plants. They grow in greater range of environments, exhibits a wider range of growth habits, and display more variation in form than any living group of plants. In size, angiosperm range from tiny duckweed to eucaplytuses more than 330 ft (100 m) tall. The explosion of angiosperm diversity has gone hand in hand with the proliferation of insect, birds, and other animals that pollinate their flowers, disperse their fruits and seeds, and eat their leaves.

Tropaeolum majus Linnaeus, 1753 - garden nasturtium (Dawes Arboretum, Licking County, Ohio, USA)
Plants are multicellular, photosynthesizing eucaryotes. Most species occupy terrestrial environments, but they also occur in freshwater and saltwater aquatic environments. The oldest known land plants in the fossil record are Ordovician to Silurian. Land plant body fossils are known in Silurian sedimentary rocks - they are small and simple plants (e.g., Cooksonia). Fossil root traces in paleosol horizons are known in the Ordovician. During the Devonian, the first trees and forests appeared. Earth's initial forestation event occurred during the Middle to Late Paleozoic. Earth's continents have been partly to mostly covered with forests ever since the Late Devonian. Occasional mass extinction events temporarily removed much of Earth's plant ecosystems - this occurred at the Permian-Triassic boundary (251 million years ago) and the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary (65 million years ago).
The most conspicuous group of living plants is the angiosperms, the flowering plants. They first unambiguously appeared in the fossil record during the Cretaceous. They quickly dominated Earth's terrestrial ecosystems, and have dominated ever since. This domination was due to the evolutionary success of flowers, which are structures that greatly aid angiosperm reproduction.
Garden nasturtium is native to the Andes Mountains of South America. The man-made variety shown above is called Tropaeolum majus 'moonlight'.
Classification: Plantae, Angiospermophyta, Brassicales, Tropaeolaceae

I found this chestnut tree in England. It's probably a European chestnut, not the chestnut of North America, which was decimated by an invasive fungus in the early- to mid-20th century. Before the onslaught of chestnut blight, this species was the predominant hardwood tree in many temperate forests in North America, providing wood for hundreds of purposes for human use. All that survives of the N. American chestnut is shoots that resprout and thrive for a few years before succumbing to the fungal infection.
