  • The Wood Cross Sections of Hermann Nördlinger (1818–1897)
    IAWA Journal, Vol. 29 (4), 2008: 439–457 THE WOOD CROSS SECTIONS OF HERMANN NÖRDLINGER (1818–1897) Ben Bubner Leibniz-Zentrum für Agrarlandschaftsforschung (ZALF) e.V., Institut für Landschaftsstoffdynamik, Eberswalder Str. 84, 15374 Müncheberg, Germany [E-mail: [email protected]] SUMMARY Hermann Nördlinger (1818–1897), forestry professor in Hohenheim, Germany, published a series of wood cross sections in the years 1852 to 1888 that are introduced here to the modern wood anatomist. The sec- tions, which vary from 50 to 100 μm in thickness, are mounted on sheets of paper and their quality is high enough to observe microscopic details. Their technical perfection is as remarkable as the mode of distribution: sections of 100 wood species were presented in a box together with a booklet containing wood anatomical descriptions. These boxes were dis- tributed as books by the publisher Cotta, from Stuttgart, Germany, with a maximum circulation of 500 per volume. Eleven volumes comprise 1100 wood species from all over the world. These include not only conifers and broadleaved trees but also shrubs, ferns and palms representing a wide variety of woody structures. Excerpts of this collection were also pub- lished in Russian, English and French. Today, volumes of Nördlingerʼs cross sections are found in libraries throughout Europe and the United States. Thus, they are relatively easily accessible to wood anatomists who are interested in historic wood sections. A checklist with the content of each volume is appended. Key words: Cross section, wood collection, wood anatomy, history. INTRODUCTION Wood scientists who want to distinguish wood species anatomically rely on thin sec- tions mounted on glass slides and descriptions in books that are illustrated with micro- photographs.

    9. A 10 year trial with SouthAmerican trees and shrubswith specialregard to the Ir,lothofaglzsspp. I0 6ra royndir vid suduramerikonskumtroum og runnum vid serligumatliti at Nothofagw-slogum SarenOdum Abstract The potential of the ligneous flora of cool temperate South America in arboriculture in the Faroe Isles is elucidated through experimental planting of a broad variety of speciescollected on expeditions to Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego 1975 andl9T9.Particular good results have been obtained with the southernmost origins of Nothofagus antarctica, N. betuloides, and N. pumilio, of which a total of 6.500 plants were directly transplanted from Tierra del Fuego to the Faroe Isles in 1979. Soren Odum, Royal Vet.& Agric. IJniv., Arboretum, DK-2970 Horsholm, Denmark. Introduction As a student of botany at the University of CopenhagenI got the opportunity to get a job for the summer 1960as a member of the team mapping the flora of the Faroe Isles (Kjeld Hansen 1966). State geologist of the Faroe Isles and the Danish Geological Survey, J6annesRasmussen, provided working facilities for the team at the museum, and also my co-student,J6hannes J6hansen participated in the field. This stay and work founded my still growing interest in the Faroese nature and culture, and the initial connections between the Arboretum in Horsholm and Tbrshavn developed from this early contact with J6annesRasmussen and J6hannes J6hansen. On our way back to Copenhagen in 1960 onboard "Tjaldur", we called on Lerwick, Shetland, where I saw Hebe and Olearia in some gardens. This made it obvious to me, that if the Faroe Isles for historical reasonshad been more or less British rather than Nordic, the gardensof T6rshavn would, no doubt, have been speckledwith genera from the southern Hemisphere and with other speciesand cultivars nowadays common in Scottish nurseries and gardens.

  • Ecology of Proteaceae with Special Reference to the Sydney Region
    951 Ecology of Proteaceae with special reference to the Sydney region P.J. Myerscough, R.J. Whelan and R.A. Bradstock Myerscough, P.J.1, Whelan, R.J.2, and Bradstock, R.A.3 (1Institute of Wildlife Research, School of Biological Sciences (A08), University of Sydney, NSW 2006; 2Department of Biological Sciences, University of Wollongong, NSW 2522; 3Biodiversity Research and Management Division, NSW National Parks & Wildlife Service, PO Box 1967, Hurstville, NSW 1481) Ecology of Proteaceae with special reference to the Sydney region. Cunninghamia 6(4): 951–1015. In Australia, the Proteaceae are a diverse group of plants. They inhabit a wide range of environments, many of which are low in plant resources. They support a wide range of animals and other organisms, and show distinctive patterns of distribution in relation to soils, climate and geological history. These patterns of distribution, relationships with nutrients and other resources, interactions with animals and other organisms and dynamics of populations in Proteaceae are addressed in this review, particularly for the Sydney region. The Sydney region, with its wide range of environments, offers great opportunities for testing general questions in the ecology of the Proteaceae. For instance, its climate is not mediterranean, unlike the Cape region of South Africa, south- western and southern Australia, where much of the research on plants of Proteaceae growing in infertile habitats has been done. The diversity and abundance of Proteaceae vary in the Sydney region inversely with fertility of habitats. In the region’s rainforest there are few Proteaceae and their populations are sparse, whereas in heaths in the region, Proteaceae are often diverse and may dominate the canopy.

    President Louise Skabo 0467 199 602 www.apstasnorth.org Business Secretary Email: [email protected] Peter Dowde 6331 7761 Post: 45 Osborne Avenue, Minutes Secretary Trevallyn. Tas. 7250 Noel Manning 6344 2277 Sept-Oct Northern Group Newsletter The beginning of spring is not just a busy time in our blossoming gardens but also in the Groups. This has been especially so as the Northern group this year was responsible for designing and bringing together all the elements of a superb stage display in addition to the usual booth at Blooming Tasmania Festival. The stage display was a one off task and for this I am sure the very busy committee was thankful. The display was magnificent: the culmination of meticulous planning and so much creative effort. Plants in pots graced the stage, covering categories from rainforest to coastal. Animals added to the striking backdrop and the plants, such as the Huon pines, man ferns etc. kindly lent for the display by Habitat nursery at Liffey. The booth area was informative with several photos featuring gardens from the 3 group regions. Some highlights were the native orchids massed in a pot, the colourful senses-grabbing posies and the single flower specimens in test tubes vases which drew in passersby. Final words from Louise who so admirably coordinated the whole project and then the packing up (on her birthday!) Over 30 members contributed to this APST Inc. event to promote our Society and native plants. Some members were on the hard working sub-committee; many provided plants or carted, installed and dismantled the stage display; some provided photos for the booth display or for the PP presentation or gave their time to provide flowers and make posies; others manned the booth over the weekend and let's not forget the papier-mâché rock creators! Thanks to all.
