  • ECOLOGICAL and ECONOMIC IMPORTANCE of STUDYING PROPAGATION TECHNIQUES of COMMON HAWTHORN Crataegus Monogyna Jacq. G

Özyurt, Z. Yücesan, N. Ak, E. Oktan, A. Ö. Üçler Karadeniz Technical University Trabzon, 61080 Turkey E-mail: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Received 11.04.2019 Climate change as a fact of global warming requires the development of different perspectives on the planning and implementation of sustainable forestry techniques. Increasing temperatures cause drought on a global basis. In connection with, this using drought tolerant species in afforestation work is of great importance. In recent years Crataegus L. species (hawthorn) are also involved in afforestation. One of these species, C. monogyna, is characterized by drought tolerance. Furthermore, C. monogyna is the most important non­wood forest product species of Turkey. Hawthorn is widely used in medicine (treatment of coronary heart diseases), and cosmetics industry, agriculture and animal husbandry and human nutrition. On the other hand, it is used in erosion control, afforestation, industrial energy resources and for landscaping. Economic and ecological contribution of hawthorn to the national economy is quite high. Therefore, determination of suitable generative and vegetative reproduction techniques and vast production of seedlings of hawthorn species are extremely important. The characteristics of generative and vegetative propagation of Crataegus are discussed. For generative propagation of hawthorn species, the most effective and suitable procedure is treatment of seeds in ash solution. For vegetative propagation in culture in vitro the growth induced by BA (benzyladenine) and IBA (indole butyric acid) hormones increases the rate of callus formation and rooting.

  • Cambridgeshire and Peterborough County Wildlife Sites
    Cambridgeshire and Peterborough County Wildlife Sites Selection Guidelines VERSION 6.2 April 2014 CAMBRIDGESHIRE & PETERBOROUGH COUNTY WILDLIFE SITES PANEL CAMBRIDGESHIRE & PETERBOROUGH COUNTY WILDLIFE SITES PANEL operates under the umbrella of the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Biodiversity Partnership. The panel includes suitably qualified and experienced representatives from The Wildlife Trust for Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Northamptonshire; Natural England; The Environment Agency; Cambridgeshire County Council; Peterborough City Council; South Cambridgeshire District Council; Huntingdonshire District Council; East Cambridgeshire District Council; Fenland District Council; Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Environmental Records Centre and many amateur recorders and recording groups. Its aim is to agree the basis for site selection, reviewing and amending them as necessary based on the best available biological information concerning the county. © THE WILDLIFE TRUST FOR BEDFORDSHIRE, CAMBRIDGESHIRE AND NORTHAMPTONSHIRE 2014 © Appendices remain the copyright of their respective originators.

Without limiting the rights under copyright reserved above, no part of this publication may be reproduced, stored in any type of retrieval system or transmitted in any form or by any means (electronic, photocopying, mechanical, recording or otherwise) without the permission of the copyright owner. INTRODUCTION The Selection Criteria are substantially based on Guidelines for selection of biological SSSIs published by the Nature Conservancy Council (succeeded by English Nature) in 1989. Appropriate modifications have been made to accommodate the aim of selecting a lower tier of sites, i.e. those sites of county and regional rather than national importance. The initial draft has been altered to reflect the views of the numerous authorities consulted during the preparation of the Criteria and to incorporate the increased knowledge of the County's habitat resource gained by the Phase 1 Habitat Survey (1992-97) and other survey work in the past decade.

  • Ranunculus Ficaria (Ranunculaceae) Naturalized in Texas: Update
    Nesom, G.L. 2015. Ranunculus ficaria (Ranunculaceae) naturalized in Texas: Update. Phytoneuron 2015-27: 1–7. Published 29 April 2015. ISSN 2153 733X RANUNCULUS FICARIA (RANUNCULACEAE) NATURALIZED IN TEXAS: UPDATE GUY L. NESOM 2925 Hartwood Drive Fort Worth, Texas 76109 [email protected] ABSTRACT In the 7 years since a report of its naturalization along a creek in Tarrant County, Texas, Ranunculus ficaria (now treated within the genus Ficaria as F. verna ) has increased in number of plants and coverage at that locality. The Texas plants produce axillary bulbils and flowers apparently are sterile, producing only unexpanded achenes. Photos show population structure and characteristics of the habitat. Ranunculus ficaria L. was earlier observed (Nesom 2008) to be naturalized along Overton Creek within Overton Park in Fort Worth, Texas. It was noted that "Thirty discrete plants, clearly naturalized, grow in an area of about 30 square feet ... A second population of five scattered plants occurs on the stream terrace about 300 yards downstream." In 2015, areal coverage of plants of Ranunculus ficaria has increased by about 6 times; the original larger population has expanded, additional colonies have formed downstream between 20 and 50 yards from the original, and an additional large population has arisen downstream of plants seen in 2008, increasing the linear extent of the total population to about 400 yards. Photos of subgroups of the Overton Park population (Figs. 1–7) show the characteristic habitat and dispersion of the plants –– all are growing in wet soil immediately beside the water or close by on the low, frequently flooded terrace.

Synonyms: Ranunculus ficaria L., Ranunculus ficaria L. ssp. bulbifera (Marsden-Jones) Lawalree, Ranunculus ficaria L. ssp. calthifolius (Reichenbach) Arcangeli, Ranunculus ficaria L. var. bulbifera Marsden-Jones, Ficaria verna Huds. Common name: Lesser celandine, fig buttercup, pilewort, figroot buttercup, figwort, bulbous buttercup, and small crowfoot Family: Ranunculaceae Legal Status: Proposed Class B noxious weed Images from left to right: 1. Plant growth with flowers, image: Catherine Herms, The Ohio State University, Bugwood.org; 2.Tuberous roots of Ficaria verna, image: Leslie J. Mehrhoff, University of Connecticut, Bugwood.org; 3. Close up of flower, image: Leslie J. Mehrhoff, University of Connecticut, Bugwood.org; 4. Bulbils in leaf axils, image: Leslie J. Mehrhoff, University of Connecticut, Bugwood.org. Description and Variation: As Post et al. (2009) outline, North American treatments of Ficaria verna did not include subspecies or only included one while European treatments include five subspecies: subsp. ficariiformis, subsp. chrysocephalus, subsp. calthifolius, subsp. ficaria, subsp. bulbilifer. Through a review of herbarium specimens, Post et al. (2009) determined that all five subspecies existed here in the United States. Sell (1994) provides descriptions of all five subspecies. Whittemore (1997) states that the species is highly variable and that the different forms intergrade extensively and varieties are often impossible to distinguish. Listing Ficaria verna as a Class C noxious weed includes all subspecies of F. verna and any cultivars of the species and subspecies. Overall Habit: Ficaria verna is a highly variable, glabrous perennial with tuberous roots.

Everyone was determined to make the most of sunshine on the first day of what for many, was their first real trip out in almost 18 months. We headed straight out on the Lizard peninsula past Culdrose Naval station and through the pretty village of Gunwalloe, down to Church Cove. Every hedge was hazed navy blue with Bluebells and clouds of Cow Parsley brushed the van on the narrow lanes. In glorious late afternoon sunshine, we wandered out of the car park towards the cove. The Cornish hedges were covered in the glossy green leaves of Sea Beet (Beta maritima) interspersed with Danish Scurvygrass (Cochlearia danica) that was coming to the end of its flowering season. As we got nearer to the beach, one wall was covered from top to bottom with a blanket of Sea Sandwort (Honckenya peploides) in full flower. The cliffs were dotted with Common Scurvygrass (Cochlearia officinalis) and huge mounds of Thrift (Armeria maritima). Up on top of the cliffs we came across our first blue Spring Squills (Scilla verna).

Picture courtesy: Les Mehrhoff, University of Connecticut (left), and David L. Clement, University of Maryland (right), Bugwood.org. US introduction and distribution: Lesser celandine also known as fig buttercup is a perennial herb native to Europe, temperate Asia, and northern Africa. It was introduced into North America from Europe for ornamental use. The earliest record of its presence in the Unites States dates to 1867 from Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania. Historically, lesser celandine has been used as a medicinal plant for treatment of hemorrhoids and scurvy due to high vitamin C content of the young leaves. Five subspecies are known to exist in the United States (Post et al 2009). Of these, Ficaria verna or Ranunculus ficaria subsp. calthifolius has the widest distribution and R. ficaria subsp. chrysocephalus has the most limited distribution. Currently, lesser celandine is 1 present throughout the northeastern United States and west to Missouri, and in the Pacific Northwest. (EDDMaps 2020). Lesser Celandine US distribution (Map: EDDMapS.
