Introduction As in past years we hereby would like to present the results of our last botanical trip for the flora Hellenica to Greece. The plants collected in 2012 now are mounted, are determined (some only up to the genus level), labeled and given into the Access databank. They all are available in the Botanical Museum of Berlin-Dahlem. After analysis of our own previous collections and of distribution maps published in Flora Hellenica Vol 1 and Vol 2 we planned to collect in 2012 mainly in the hill country around Grevena (Grevena) and around Ptolemaida (Kozanis). The exact course of our journey should be dependent from the actual conditions of the flora in the area. As alternatives we took the area around Trikala and Karditsa, hillsides between 500 and 900 m, and the South-Pindus up to 1500 m. Already during the first days in the mountainous area of Kranea (North-Pindus) we realized that the flora was in a very fresh and varied condition. The last autumn and winter must have been full of rain and snow. The same situation we found in the hills of Grevena and its oak woods and agriculturally sites. We never have seen this region so rich of species and plants. That’s why we remained by far longer than planned in this region. Even the Askion mountains north and north-eastern of Siatista, normally very dry and overgrazed, appeared in an excellent state. Therefore we stayed more than one week in Siatista and collected on the lower slopes of Askion NE and N of Siatista, on the hillsides western of Vourinos and in the agricultural area around Neapolis showing a broad range of different biotopes many of them small- sized. Our stay in Ptolemaida was limited to few days because of big pre-electional events in the hotels. So we changed to Amyndeo at the south end of Lake Petron and explored the area all around Lake Petron and Lake Vigoritis, the W slopes of the Vermion and the slopes of the Tsoukka close to Nymfeo. Especially the hills around both lakes are full of surprising records. The last week we visited the oak woods between Grevena and Kalambaka and the hill sites eastern and north-eastern of Kalambaka. The hills around Kalambaka were not so dry as in previous years but much dryer than the Grevena region. The plants were mostly in an advanced state, so plant recording was a little bit difficult but nevertheless successfull. In the region of Grevena, Siatista and Kalambaka we had been several times before, mostly to research the distribution of Orchidaceae. To minimize double recording of Non-Orchidaceae we had prepared lists of those species we had collected in previous years. These lists, each of them for a square of 5 x 5 km based on UTM, contained mostly between 50 and 150 different species and helped us very well to decide which collected plants could be disposed off or should be pressed. As in year 2011 we tried to collect and press frequent and easy determinable plants one time per day only to minimize the number of duplicates. But we registered all records and listed them separately. In the report they are presented in chapter 4. This procedure we have coordinated with Botanical Museum Berlin-Dahlem and with A.Strid beforehand. The whole journey and the further treatment of collected materials has been organized and financed by ourselves. Area of collection is shown in Fig. 1 , detailled collection points in Fig. 2 .. 3 Fig. 1: Survey of collection area 2012 Fig. 2: The visited localities As in the previous years we have planned our daily collection on base of 10 x 10 km-UTM-squares. Within these we selected typical topographical sites and biotopes and tried to collect all species flowering and fruiting as far as they had been identified by us. At second and third collection points within the same square we tried to avoid doublings. The plants have been collected by both authors, prepared and labelled by E.Willing and inserted into the newspaper and blotting by inserting specialist Rita Willing. For drying we used again our standard technique, as we have published in "Phyton" 32 (1): 119- 128; 1992. For 5-6 presses each of them containing 50-60 plant sheets we used a combination of C-line and B-line corrugated board in different successions. The thinner B-line material is garantueeing the stability of the board-packaging, the broader C-line board (ca. 3-3,5 mm) is responsible for the necessary air exhaust. Use of C-line board only would reduce the number of plant sheets per package and increase the temperature within the package, sometimes causing negative impact to the dried plants quality. In case of missing blotting paper the plant material can be put in a double line of news-paper without any loss of quality. It is very useful to open the presses after 8-10 hours (before breakfast in the morning, but with a good coup of coffee) and to select all fully dried material and to take out all blossing paper. Under normal conditions (30) 50 (65) % of all plants are fully dried at that time and could be influenced negatively if they would be left in the drying process. On the other hand the number of remaining presses is significantly reduced and drying process of remaining plants will be improved. After 24 4 hours drying only 1-2 % of plants will remain within the drying process. Change of wet newspaper is not necessary. Time consumption for the morning inspection is in the range of 15-20 minutes for each press. Time needed in the evening for distributing the plant sheets between the corrugated board and arranging the whole presses is 30 until 45 minutes for six presses. It has proved positively to underlay and to cover the flowers of some species like Papaver, Glaucium, Helianthemum, Verbascum, Linum with one line of tissue. These tissues should be removed after 8-10 hours drying (not really necessary for Papaver and Rosa). The drying results are nearly independent on weather conditions. Even on very rainy days the quality of dreid plants is good, but the sheet labels may be more or less dirty. All plants are mounted and, as far as possible, determined by ourselves. The determination helps us very much to improve the collection process. Though we are no botanists we try to determine the plants at least until level of genus including all failures an amateur is able to do. We hope to minimize determination mistakes as far as possible and hope that all users will excuse our poor knowledge. For our own quality control it is very important that our plant sheet will be gone through, confirmed or corrected by specialists. Sheet labels contain following informations. UTM-data and Greenwich-data are measured by Garmin GPS 72.

Codonoprasum, is described and illustrated from northern Cyprus. It is a very circumscribed geophyte growing on the calcareous cliffs of the Kyrenia range. This diploid species, with a somatic chromosome number 2n = 16, shows close morphological relationships with A. stamineum, a species complex distributed in the eastern Mediterranean area. Its morphology, karyology, leaf anatomy, ecology, conservation status and taxonomical relationships with the allied species belonging to the A. stamineum group are examined. Key words: Allium sect.

    Fl. Medit. 22: 233-244 doi: 10.7320/FlMedit22.233 Version of Record published online on 28 December 2012 Hans Walter Lack & Thomas Raus Hildemar Scholz (1928 – 2012) Hildemar Scholz, aged 84, passed away on 5 June 2012 as a consequence of a bad fall he had suffered at home a few weeks earlier. He was a world authority on grasses, the adventive flora of Europe, and rust fungi from central Europe. From 1964 until his retire- ment in 1993 he was a member of staff of the Botanic Garden and Botanical Museum Berlin-Dahlem, rising from scientific collaborator to one of the directors at this institution. Hildemar was a born plant-collector active all over Europe, in North and West Africa with a special interest in grasses and the rust fungi parasitizing them. Born on 27 May 1928 in Berlin into a family of protestant clergymen Hildemar Scholz remained both in language and manners very much a Berliner, in the true and best sense of the word, and never ever considered leaving his home town, even during the many diffi- cult years this city encountered in the last century. Having belatedly finished his school training because of the Second World War in 1947, he tried to get enrolled at Berlin University, subsequently renamed Humboldt University, in the Soviet sector of the city, but was rejected – probably because his father was a clergyman. Hildemar had more success at the newly founded Free University in the American sector of Berlin, where he got admit- ted in 1949 and chose biology as his subject.

During this time there are recorded historical data, narratives, conferences, a large number of professors and students who took part, as well as all the diplomatic work that was done (162). In this study, we record and analyze the titles of the diploma thesis that are traced throughout. The methods and theoretical schemes that are chosen are related to archival research of the postgraduate program, applying the leximetric and thematic analysis. Keywords: recording, archives, semiotics 1. Introduction The Hellenic Semiotic Society deals with the study and dissemination of semiotics in Greece. Semiotic is the scientific area that studies in depth all the phenomena of civilization in today's societies, but also in societies of the past, as point systems. Objectives of the semiotics study are, among other things, the daily behavior, the meanings of the gestures and the way of dressing, the structures of poetry and literature, the way the music, the painting and the other arts communicate, the messages emanating from the theater , cinema and the media, as well as the experiences from architecture and in general the built space.

Taking advantage of the experience gained from the coordination of the national water monitoring program in Greece and the available funding from two ongoing infrastructure projects, the Institute of Inland Waters of the Hellenic Centre for Marine Research has developed the first homogeneous real-time network of automatic water monitoring across many Greek rivers. In this paper, its installation and maintenance procedures are presented with emphasis on the data quality checks, based on values range and variability tests, before their online publication and dissemination to end-users. Preliminary analyses revealed that the water pH and dissolved oxygen (DO) sensors and produced data need increased maintenance and quality checks respectively, compared to the more reliably recorded water stage, temperature Citation: Panagopoulos, Y.; Konstantinidou, A.; Lazogiannis, K.; (T) and electrical conductivity (EC). Moreover, the data dissemination platform and selected data Papadopoulos, A.; Dimitriou, E. A visualization options are demonstrated and the need for both this platform and the monitoring New Automatic Monitoring Network network to be maintained and potentially expanded after the termination of the funding projects of Surface Waters in Greece: Preliminary is highlighted.

  • Diplopoda) of Twelve Caves in Western Mecsek, Southwest Hungary
    Opusc. Zool. Budapest, 2013, 44(2): 99–106 Millipedes (Diplopoda) of twelve caves in Western Mecsek, Southwest Hungary D. ANGYAL & Z. KORSÓS Dorottya Angyal and Dr. Zoltán Korsós, Department of Zoology, Hungarian Natural History Museum, H-1088 Budapest, Baross u. 13., E-mails: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract. Twelve caves of Western Mecsek, Southwest Hungary were examined between September 2010 and April 2013 from the millipede (Diplopoda) faunistical point of view. Ten species were found in eight caves, which consisted eutroglophile and troglobiont elements as well. The cave with the most diverse fauna was the Törökpince Sinkhole, while the two previously also investigated caves, the Abaligeti Cave and the Mánfai-kőlyuk Cave provided less species, which could be related to their advanced touristic and industrial utilization.
