Identification key to the Cypress family (Cupressaceae)

Christian Schulz

While working on the manuscript of Conifers Around the World (in press), the authors encountered classification and nomenclature questions surrounding the Nootka Cypress, originally described as Cupressus nootkatensis D. Don, 1824. The combination Callitropsis nootkatensis was later implicitly suggested for this taxon by Oersted as the sole species in his new genus Callitropsis, but was not published in accordance with the current International Code of Botanical Nomenclature. The combination first appears in the literature in Florin (1944), with the name attributed to Oersted, and was validated by Little (2006), who treated the species as the type of a broader genus including the New World lineage of Cupressus. The taxon has long been treated as a species of Chamaecyparis, but this placement is supported by only a limited number of non-unique morphological characters and is not supported by more recent molecular comparisons. Based on recent DNA sequence comparisons, the distinctive ...

STÜTZEL Identification key to the Cypress family (Cupressaceae)1 With 11 Figures Summary Zusammenfassung The identification of Cupressaceae taxa, except for some local and easily distinguishable taxa, is difficult even for specialists. One reason for this is the lack of a complete key including all Cupressaceae taxa, another reason is that diagnoses and descriptions are spread over several hundred publications which are sometimes difficult to access. Based on morphological studies of about 3/4 of the species and a careful compilation of the most important descriptions of Cupressaceae, a first identification key for the entire Cypress family (Cupressaceae) could be set up. The key comprises any of the 30 genera, 134 species, 7 subspecies, 38 varieties, one form and thus all 180 taxa recognized by FARJON (2001). The key uses mainly features of adult leaves, female cones and other characters which are all relatively easy to be used. Bestimmungsschlüssel für die Familie der Cupressaceae Introduction One of the first species to be published according to the “International Code of Botanical Nomenclature” was Cupressus sempervirens L. in 1753, the last was Xanthocyparis vietnamensis FARJON & HIEP in 2002. During this long time, several hundred descriptions for taxa of all ranks in Cupressaceae were published. Despite the fact that many species are cultivated world wide, only regional keys have been set up. There is neither a key for all genera of the family, nor a full key for all members of such 1 Data matrix inclusive illustrations for interactive identification using DELTA/INTKEY available on http://www.boga.ruhr-unibochum.de/spezbot/publikationen.htm Die Bestimmung von Cupressaceae-Taxa ist mit Ausnahme einiger lokaler und leicht bestimmbarer Taxa schwierig, selbst für Spezialisten. Ein Grund, warum es noch keinen vollständigen Bestimmungsschlüssel mit allen Cupressaceae-Taxa gibt ist, dass die Sippen-Beschreibungen sich auf mehrere hundert Publikationen verteilen, welche teilweise schwierig zu beschaffen sind. Etwa 3/4 der Cupressaceae-Arten wurden morphologisch untersucht und die wichtigsten Beschreibungen zusammengefasst, daraus wurde dann der erste vollständige Bestimmungsschlüssel für Cupressaceae erstellt. Der Bestimmungsschlüssel enthält 30 Gattungen, 134 Arten, 7 Unterarten, 38 Varietäten, eine Form und damit alle 180 Taxa nach FARJON (2001). Es werden vorwiegend Merkmale von adulten Blättern, weiblichen Zapfen und andere Merkmale verwendet, welche alle relativ leicht erkennbar sind. important genera like Callitris, Cupressus and Juniperus. In many cases geographic information is used in keys, what makes them often inappropriate to determine material hold in collections such as arboreta and botanical gardens. In their natural habitat, it is mostly quite simple to determine Cupressaceae, as there is usually only a limited number of Cupressaceae native to a region. Materials and methods Nomenclature and taxonomy are generally adopted from FARJON (2001). The key is based on morphological studies of about 3/4 of the species and a careful compilation of the relevant bibliography. © 2005 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

SCHULZ et al.: Identification key of the Cypress family (Cupressaceae) Keys were performed using the DELTA-package (DALLWITZ 1974, 1980; DALLWITZ et al. 1993, 1995, 1999, 2000). All data collected from own examinations and the bibliography were entered into a DELTA matrix. These taxa studied can be grouped in three parts. The first group comprises those taxa which are frequently grown in Germany even outside botanical gardens. Access to material was not or hardly limited for this group, and morphological, especially morphometrical characters are supposed not to differ markedly from natural conditions. This was mostly proven by comparing data from the bibliography with ours. The data sets as well as the range for many characters were however emended markedly even for this group. A second list comprises the taxa which are usually only found in scientific collections such as botanic gardens and arboreta. It may be suspected that these taxa are grown under conditions more different from their natural environment. This might result in differences to material collected from natural sites, and we tried to get material from different sources and compared the results carefully with data from the bibliography. The third group comprises those taxa for which no material could be accessed and only data from the bibliography and herbarium samples could be included. Cultivars were excluded, it is however mostly possible to identify cultivars as well, if characters like size and habit are excluded. The identification of herbarium samples is conditionally possible, if character colour is not necessary.

The key uses mainly features of adult leaves and female cones. Male cones and juvenile leaves are accessable only a limited time in the year or even during the whole plant life. The data matrix is therefore not sufficiently complete. For this reason we tried to focus on characters which are available throughout the year. Many taxa start forming adult leaves not before they are three or four years old. Determination of Cupressaceae using only vegetative characters is sometimes not possible, but many species have typical leaves or even branchlets, and those characters are used in the key as well (Fig. 1). In the key only characters are used which distinctly separate two or more groups. The sole exceptions are two varieties (Chamaecyparis thyoides var. henryae/var. thyoides, Juniperus occidentalis var. australis/var. occidentalis) with only overlapping character ranges. For most key steps, several nonoverlapping characters are offered either to facilitate correct decisions or to allow the identification in cases of incomplete material. Sometimes some overlapping features are added to the use of distinct characters, if such combinations with supplementary characters make decisions easier. Almost all features are illustrated. The illustrations in the key are regarded as examples for character states and do not show necessarily the taxon under consideration at this point of the key. The taxa are however always mentioned in the legend. For some taxa diagnostic characters are illustrated (numbers in brackets after the taxon name), which allow to recognize a taxon directly from the illustration. Characters in the key are described in an abbreviated form to make it shorter and easier to read. The characters mean the following: 99 1. leaves = only adult leaves, except if juvenile leaves persist for decades (e.g. Taiwania cryptomerioides); 2. length/width/colour of leaves = only on ultimate branchlets, but not on the last leaf pair; 3. length/width of female cones = open as well as closed female cones; 4. length/width of seed = length is from hilum to the top of the micropyle, right-angled to it the width (measures at maximum extent); 5. margin of scale leaves only visible with strong lens (min. 20×); 6. seeds with tubercle only visible with lens (10×); 7. resin glands only on ultimate branchlets; 8. coating of female cones (Juniperus) only after maturity not in earlier stages; 9. investigate the white stripes on the adaxial side of needle leaves not in basal and terminal position but between. The key is composed of a “key to the genera” including all accepted genera, and of several “keys to the species” for each genus with more than one single accepted taxon. Therefore identifications can also be started from the key to the species. We tried to make the keys short by dividing as symmetrically as possible, the use of several characters per step wherever possible is supposed to facilitate proper identification. The representation of intraspecific variability remains however problematic due to the unbalanced and sometimes restricted availability of material for the taxa under consideration. Furthermore, taxa with a very limited geographical range and ecological amplitude are usually less variable than those for which applies the contrary and collections often do not reflect this properly. We suppose to have a more or less even representation of the intraspecific variability within each of the three lists mentioned above. For the species of list 1 the variability is supposed to be relatively well represented. For those of list 3 this is more disputable as the data are sometimes from the published description of a single specimen or individual. List 2 represents a somewhat intermediate situation. As established floras show marked improvements even after many editions, we suppose that our key will need further improvements urgently.
