 This tour will
give you a quick look at the diversity of trees found on the Reed College
campus. We've tried to provide two pictures for every species, although
we still need several more shots to complete our collection. These pages
are image-intensive, so they may be slow to load.

right to the photos? Then start the tour.
For
the botanists: If you're interested in plant taxonomy, here's an
overview of how we've arranged the trees in the family tour. This chart
omits the groups that aren't represented on the Reed campus.

the family tour.

Page 1: Non-flowering
trees
These are the gymnosperms (Coniferophyta) and Ginkgo biloba,
the maidenhair tree, which is the only surviving member of the
Ginkophyta. Most of these trees are evergreens, but some of
them are deciduous. |

Araucariaceae - Araucaria Family
Cupressaceae - Cypress Family
Ginkgoaceae - Maidenhair Tree Family
Pinaceae - Pine Family
Taxodiaceae - Bald Cypress Family |

Page 2: Flowering trees
in subclass Rosidae
This is the largest subclass of flowering plants, and it includes
many of the trees on our campus. The flowering cherries are
found here in the Rose family (Rosaceae). |

Aceraceae - Maple Family
Aquifoliaceae - Holly Family
Araliaceae - Ginseng Family
Cornaceae - Dogwood Family
Fabaceae - Pea Family
Hippocastanaceae - Buckeye Family
Rosaceae - Rose Family |

Page 3: Flowering trees
in subclass Hamamelidae
The Hamamelidae actually form the smallest subclass of flowering
plants, but they take up a big part of our family tour because
most of them are trees. Many of the photos on this page are
of oaks, which are found in the Beech family (Fagaceae).

Betulaceae - Birch Family
Cercidiphyllaceae - Katsura Family
Fagaceae - Beech Family
Hamamelidaceae - Witch Hazel Family
Juglandaceae - Walnut Family
Platanaceae - Sycamore Family
Ulmaceae - Elm Family |

Page 4: Flowering trees
in subclasses Magnoliidae, Dilleniidae, and Asteridae
This is a mixed bag. Of all the subclasses of flowering plants,
Magnoliidae is considered to be the most primitive and Asteridae
is considered to be the most advanced, but neither group includes
many trees. For the sake of convenience we've put them together
on a single page with the Dilleniidae. |

Lauraceae - Laurel Family
Magnoliaceae - Magnolia Family
Salicaceae - Willow Family
Styracaceae - Storax Family
Theaceae - Tea Family
Tiliaceae - Basswood Family
Oleaceae - Olive Family
Scrophulariaceae - Figwort Family |
