Superorder Ceratophyllanae is the probable sister of the eudicots. Its only order Ceratophyllales contains a single living genus.[1]

Superorders Ranunculanae, Proteanae, and Buxanae, are in the basal grade of eudicots.[2]

The order Ranunculales has about 93 taxa found outside of cultivation in New York. Ranunculales families include:

Family Berberidaceae

edit
The Berberidaceae (barberry family) contains several herbaceous genera that are associated with their native woodland wildflowers, including Caulophyllum (blue cohosh), Podophyllum (mayapple), and Jeffersonia (twinleaf). But the family also contains the non-native ornamental shrubs (some highly invasive) known as barberry in the Berberis and closely-related Manonia genera.

Caulophyllum

Caulophyllum giganteum
early blue cohosh
Caulophyllum contains the two blue cohosh species found in New York, but it does not include black cohosh, which is not only in a separate genus (Actaea), but also in a different family (Ranunculaceae, below). Blue cohosh leaves have a similarity to Thalictrum (meadow rue) leaves, accounting for the specific epithet thalictroides.

Caulophyllum giganteum (early blue cohosh), appears earlier in the spring than C. thalictroides and has purple flowers instead of yellow.[1]

twinleaf

Although twinleaf is listed as threatened in New York, its populations have probably remained fairly stable. Because its native habitat includes ravines, its scarcity is more a matter of New York being at the northern edge of its natural range than it is of recent habitat loss. However, invasion of its habitat by exotic plants like garlic mustard and swallow-wort is currently a concern.

Berberis

Berberis thunbergii
Although there are a few North American native barberry species, none are known to have naturalized in New York State (unless Mahonia is included in Berberis). The closest reported occurrence is of Berberis canadensis (American barberry) in Huntington County in south-central Pennsylvania. However the two Eurasian barberries, Berberis thunbergii and Berberis vulgaris are quite common and considered to be invasive in New York. If fact, the sale of fertile Japanese barberry (B. thunbergii) is now prohibited in the state.

Berberis sect. Mahonia
edit
 
Berberis aquifolium
Berberis sect. Mahonia has also been treated as a separate genus Mahonia. It contains the Oregon grape, which is native to the west coast of North America. It is considered very invasive in Europe and is known to escape cultivation throughout New York.

Also present in the southeastern part of the states is Berberis bealei (Beale's oregon-grape) which is listed as Highly Invasive/NYS Tier 2 by iMapInvasives and is considered an aggressive invader in the Southeastern United States.[1]

Subfamily Ranunculoideae

The Ranunculoideae contains the New York tribes Actaeeae, Anemoneae, Caltheae, Delphinieae, Helleboreae, Nigelleae, and Ranunculeae.[1]

Tribe Actaeeae

edit
The tribe Actaeeae contains the genera Actaea, Anemonopsis, Beesia, and Eranthis.[1] Of these, Actaea and Eranthis have species found outside of cultivation in New York. This tribe has also gone by the name Cimicifugeae.[2]
  1. ↑ James A. Compton and Alastair Culham (2002) "Phylogeny and Circumscription of Tribe Actaeeae (Ranunculaceae)." Systematic Botany, Vol. 27, No. 3 (Jul.-Sep., 2002), pp. 502-511, American Society of Plant Taxonomists

Actaea
edit
 
Actaea rubra
red baneberry
Here the genus Cimicifuga (bugbane) is included in Actaea (baneberry) as per Compton (1998).[1]

Berry-color alone can't be used to distinguish red and white baneberry from each other. Even at maturity, red baneberry (Actaea rubra) plants frequently have white fruit (sometimes differentiated as forma neglecta). Red or pink berries on white baneberry, Actaea pachypoda (fo. rubrocarpa), are less common and may indicate that the plant is a hybrid (Actaea ×ludovici) of the two species.

A better way to distinguish red and white baneberry is to observe the color and width of the fruit pedicels. Red baneberry has brown or greenish pedicels that are thinner than the axis of their raceme. White baneberry has bright red and much thicker pedicels that are about the same diameter as the raceme axis.[2]

Tribe Delphinieae

edit
Recent phylogenetic research has shown the genera Consolida and Aconitella to be embedded within Delphinium as an annual clade within an otherwise perennial genus.[1]
  1. ↑ Florian Jabbour & Susanne S. Renner (2011) "Consolida and Aconitella are an annual clade of Delphinium (Ranunculaceae) that diversified in the Mediterranean basin and the Irano-Turanian region." TAXON 60(4), August 2011:1029-1040
Aconitum
edit
 
Aconitum noveboracense
northern monkshood
The only native member of the Delphinieae (syn. Aconiteae) is the endangered northern blue monkshood, which as Aconitum noveboracense is found in only Iowa, New York, Ohio, and Wisconsin. A. noveboracense has been treated as synonymous with Aconitum columbianum ssp. columbianum (Columbia monkshood), which is native to much of western North America.

Delphinium
edit
Larkspur species, previously listed in the Consolida genus are annuals that are now considered to be a clade embedded the perennial Delphinium genus.[1]

Although there were more than sixty Delphinium species native to North America before inclusion of Consolida, none are considered to be native to New York or New England, and none had been reported to have naturalized in New York.[2] The only naturalized Delphinium species in New England is Delphinium exaltatum,[3] which is native to an area that extends as far northeast as northeastern Ohio and southwestern Pennsylvania.[4] Delphinium exaltatum is also distribuded in New York in the "native plant" trade.[5]

Anemonoides quinquefolia
The genus Anemonoides has until recently been included in genus Anemone, though many sources, including the New York Flora Atlas, continue to list it as part of Anemone.

The North American species A. quinquefolia has at various times been treated as a variety of the European species A. nemorosa. Although they are fairly similar, they are now generally treated as separate species.

A. nemorosa is not listed in the New York Flora Atlas but is commonly planted in North America, where it occasionally naturalizes.

Even though quinquefolia should indicate 5 leaves, wood anemone has only 3 leaflets per leaf.

Clematis

Clematis virginiana
Clematis plants are generally vines or subshrubs that go by the common names virgin's-bower, leather-leaf, curly-heads or just clematis.

There are three NY-native Clematis species that range from the common (sometimes weedy) C. virginiana, to the rare (probably extirpated) C. ochroleuca, which is at the extreme northern extent of its range in New York has only been found in the wilds of New York City, and not reported there since the 1930's.

Many non-native Clematis vines are planted for ornamental purposes, but most rarely, if ever, naturalize in New York State. However, C. terniflora has been found to be highly invasive in parts of New York, and is currently on the state's Regulated Species list.[1]
