United States Departmen' L- i UNITED STATES DEPARTMEN' TT. 3, Deputaeat INVENTORY D. 99 iington, D. C. Issued November, 1930 PUNT MATERIAL INTRODUCED BY THE OFFICE OF FOREIGN PLANT INTRODUCTION, BUREAU OF PLANT INDUSTRY, APRIL 1 TO JUNE 30, 1929 (Nos. 80019-80810) CONTENTS Page Introductory statement 1 Inventory 3 Index of common and scientific names 43 INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT The present inventory of the materials received between April 1 and June 30, 1929 (F. P. I. 80019-80810), is a record of the seeds and plants that came in through the Office of Foreign Plant Introduction by exchange, gift, and pur- chase. It does not in any way record the materials on hand, nor can it serve as a basis for request from experimenters. To illustrate the point more specifically, the numerous palms may be cited. These were assembled for the specific purpose of growing plants for permanent planting at the United States Plant Introduction Garden at Chapman Field near Coconut Grove, Fla., to become a future source of seed. Plants from these seeds will not be available until they themselves produce seed, which in most cases will be a matter of many years. Other plants from which propagat- ing material can be had more rapidly will be more rapidly available. It is most unfortunate that these delays must occur or that this explanation should be given again and again, but inquiries for unavailable material are received too frequently to warrant its omission. In addition to the considerable list of palms for testing in the South, there is a large group of Ficus spp. (80417-80421), not including the collection of fig varieties (80150-80153) from Tunis, and those (8O294r-80299) that came with a collection of grape cuttings (80300-80303) from Haifa, Palestine. These trees and shrubs are for careful testing in the extreme South as possible ornamentals. This inventory records a collection of seeds (80060^80074) from South Yarra, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, that contains several acacias, a eucalyptus, and several vines and trees not previously introduced. Nos. 80076-80088 record a collection of seeds from the Lloyd Botanic Garden, Darjiling, India, including several barberries not yet well known in the United States, the difficult Iris clarkei, and several other ornamental plants not well established in this country. Possibly more than anything else, the inventory is notable for the large col- lections which reflect the operations of W. F. Morse and P. H. Dorsett, now traveling in the Orient particularly to find new strains and varieties of soybeans that are expected to prove useful for American farms. The botanical determinations have been made and the nomenclature deter- mined by H. C. Skeels, who has had general supervision of this inventory. KNOWLES A.

For previous introduction see No. 36065. 1 It should be understood that the names of horticultural varieties of fruits, vegetables, cereals, and other plants used in this inventory are those under which the material was received when introduced by the Oflice of Foreign Plant Introduction and, further, that the printing of such names here does not constitute their ofl&cial publication and adop- ( tion in this country. As the different varieties are studied, their entrance into the Amer- ican trade forecast, and the use of varietal names for them in American literature becomes necessary, the foreign varietal designations appearing in this inventory will be subject to change with a view to bringing the forms of the names into harmony with recognized horticultural nomenclature. It is a well-known fact that botanical descriptions, both technical and economic, seldom mention the seeds at all and rarely describe them in such a way as to make possible identification from the seods alone. Many of the unusual plants listed in these inven- tories are appearing in this country for the first time, and there are no seed samples or herbarium specimens with ripe seeds with which the new arrivals may be compared. The only identification possible is to see that the sample received resembles seeds of other species of the same genus or of related genera. The responsibility for the identifications therefore must necessarily often rest with the person sending the material. If there is any question regarding the correctness of the id ntification of any plant received from this oflice, herbarium specimens of leaves and flowers should be sent in so that definite identification can be made. 3 PLANT MATERIAL INTRODUCED 80036 to 80040. 80046.

  • The Variability of Gentiana Pneumonanthe L. Subpopulations in Different Habitat Conditions
    Ecological Questions 23/2016: 51 – 59 http://dx.doi.org/10.12775/EQ.2016.005 The variability of Gentiana pneumonanthe L. subpopulations in different habitat conditions Kinga Kostrakiewicz-Gierałt Jagiellonian University, Institute of Botany, Department of Plant Ecology, Lubicz 46, 31-512 Kraków, Poland, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract. The impact of habitat conditions on the spatio-temporal variability of abundance and structure of subpopulations of Gen- tiana pneumonanthe L. was investigated in the years 2013-2015 in patches of abandoned Molinion caeruleae meadows in different stages of successional overgrowing (Patches I-III), as well as in a patch of willow thickets (Patch IV). The height of the standing vegetation and soil humidity increased in successive patches, while the light intensity at ground level diminished gradually. Performed observations showed that abundance of subpopulations decreased from Patch I to Patch IV. Seedlings, juvenile and dormant indi- viduals were not found in all subpopulations, whereas the share of vegetative and generative adults differed significantly. The total number of above-ground units per individual, as well as the height of vegetative stems, increased in consecutive years; moreover, it augmented from Patch I to Patch III and it diminished in Patch IV. The height of flowering stalks rose in consecutive years and in successive patches. The numbers of flowers and fruits in consecutive years were rather constant, whilst in successive study sites they augmented gradually. In light of the performed studies, it might be concluded that the subpopulation occurring in Patch I presents the best state, whereas the subpopulation occurring in Patch IV shows the worst condition and, in the near future, might be eliminated from the colonised site.

However, not all areas of the Himalayas are well studied. In particular, studies on ethnobotanical uses of plants from the Eastern Himalayas are rare and lacking for many tribes. Past studies primarily focused on listing plants name and their traditional medicinal uses. However, studies on traditional ethnopharmacological practices on medicine preparation had not yet been reported in published literature from the Eastern Himalaya. In this study, we are reporting the first time ethnopharmacological used 24 medicines, their procedures of preparation and listed 53 plant species used for those medicines for Monpa tribe.

In the garden, flowers, butterflies and bees are revelling in the sunshine and the house martins, nesting in our eaves, are giving flying displays that surpass those of the Red Arrows. There is an emphasis ( almost a fashion) in horticultural circles at the moment on wild life gardening and wild flower meadows. I have always felt that alpines are the wild flowers of the mountains, whether growing in alpine meadows or nestling in among the rocks. Our Society aims to give an appreciation and thus the protection and conservation of wild flowers and plants all over the world. Perhaps you have just picked up this Newsletter and are new to the Society but whether you have a window pot or a few acres you would be very welcome to join the group and find out how much pleasure, in many different ways, these mountain wild flowers can bring. My thanks to our contributors this year who illustrate how varied our interest in plants can be. Not only did the Taylors give us a wonderful lecture and hands-on demonstration last November but kindly followed it up with an article for the Newsletter, and I hope that many of you, like me, have two healthy little pots of lily seedlings thanks to their generous gift of seeds.

The knowledge of the flora of the Czech Republic has substantially improved since the second ver- sion of the national Red List was published, mainly due to large-scale field recording during the last decade and the resulting large national databases. In this paper, an updated Red List is presented and compared with the previous editions of 1979 and 2000. The complete updated Red List consists of 1720 taxa (listed in Electronic Appendix 1), accounting for more then a half (59.2%) of the native flora of the Czech Republic. Of the Red-Listed taxa, 156 (9.1% of the total number on the list) are in the A categories, which include taxa that have vanished from the flora or are not known to occur at present, 471 (27.4%) are classified as critically threatened, 357 (20.8%) as threatened and 356 (20.7%) as endangered. From 1979 to 2000 to 2012, there has been an increase in the total number of taxa included in the Red List (from 1190 to 1627 to 1720) and in most categories, mainly for the following reasons: (i) The continuing human pressure on many natural and semi-natural habitats is reflected in the increased vulnerability or level of threat to many vascular plants; some vulnerable species therefore became endangered, those endangered critically threatened, while species until recently not classified may be included in the Red List as vulnerable or even endangered.
