At that stage I had no first-hand knowledge of Clare’s part of the country, so my first task was to discover how many of the flowers on my list could still be found there. Chris Gardiner, Natural England’s Senior Reserves Manager in the area, and Jean Stowe, a committee member of the Langdyke Trust, both responded to my enquiries with invaluable species lists, and Jean also with her husband Iain’s and her own skilful photographs; David Broughton, a Vice-county Recorder for the Botanical Society of Britain and Ireland, supplied me with up- to-the-minute information about the rarer flowers; Sheila Wells went out on my behalf and found some of them growing just where Clare said they did; from the start the late Peter Moyse shared with me his knowledge and appreciation of the landscape, trees and flowers of Clare’s countryside. To all, my thanks. Jean Stowe also put me in touch with the late Bridget Smith, whose combination of a lifelong pleasure in our native flora with a deep appreciation of Clare’s poetry has been an inspiration to me ever since. Moreover, it was Bridget who prevailed on her former colleague in the Nature Conservancy Council, Philip Oswald, to scrutinise my draft manuscript. I am profoundly grateful to him for the scholarly accuracy and meticulous attention to detail that have saved me from a number of blunders (any that remain will be my oversights) and also for the zest with which he has provided titbits of botanical lore to liven up the more humdrum entries. Subsequently he took on the tasks of editing my text, compiling the index of plants and making the final selection of photographs from a substantially larger number that I should have liked to include. Other botanists who have generously and knowledgeably responded to my out-of-the-blue appeals for information are Clive Stace, Evelyn Stevens, Christopher Grey-Wilson and Andrea Wolfe. viii ix Because my chief concern throughout this project has been with Clare the poet, I am especially grateful to Eric Robinson who – among other kindnesses – has allowed me to quote freely from his monumental Oxford English Texts edition of the poetry. I have addressed many queries about Clare’s scientific friendships and his reading to Bob Heyes, whose unfailingly helpful replies have been rich in relevant detail; and when it came to viewing Clare in his wider social and literary setting, I have been especially privileged in having John Goodridge’s input while preparing this volume. For information about Margaret Grainger, whose work on Clare as naturalist has not had the attention it deserves, I am indebted once again to Eric Robinson, and also to Paul Foster, Tim Chilcott and Simon Chandler. I am also grateful to Sam Ward for his input and for designing and typesetting the book. I am most sincerely grateful to all those who supplied the beautiful photographs that adorn this book – Iain Stowe (IS), Philip Oswald (PHO), Jean Stowe (JS), Peter Moyse (PM), Bridget Smith (BRS), Peter Payne (PIP) and Barbro Jones (BJ). ix Abbreviations agg. aggregate By Himself John Clare: By Himself, ed.

Its lightly-worn scholarship and mischievous humour perfectly express her theme that the best of poetry is a kind of science, truth forged out of a marriage between incisive observation and imaginative insight. John Clare is in many ways the hero of the book, and Molly quotes the poignant self- description he had inscribed on the back of his portrait – ‘Bard of the wild flowers / Rain-washed and wind-shaken’.

Robbin Moran New York Botanical Garden George Yatskievych and Ann Larson Missouri Botanical Garden Jan De Laet, plantsystematics.org Th is pdf is a companion publication to Rhode Island Equisetopsida, Lycopodiopsida & Isoetopsida at among-ri-wildfl owers.org Th e Elfi n Press 2016 Introduction Formerly known as fern allies, Horsetails, Club-mosses, Fir-mosses, Spike-mosses and Quillworts are plants that have an alternate generation life-cycle similar to ferns, having both sporophyte and gametophyte stages. Equisetopsida Horsetails date from the Devonian period (416 to 359 million years ago) in earth’s history where they were trees up to 110 feet in height and helped to form the coal deposits of the Carboniferous period. Only one genus has survived to modern times (Equisetum). Horsetails Horsetails (Equisetum) have jointed stems with whorls of thin narrow leaves. In the sporophyte stage, they have a sterile and fertile form. Th ey produce only one type of spore. While the gametophytes produced from the spores appear to be plentiful, the successful reproduction of the sporophyte form is low with most Horsetails reproducing vegetatively. Lycopodiopsida Lycopodiopsida includes the clubmosses (Dendrolycopodium, Diphasiastrum, Lycopodiella, Lycopodium , Spinulum) and Fir-mosses (Huperzia) Clubmosses Clubmosses are evergreen plants that produce only microspores that develop into a gametophyte capable of producing both sperm and egg cells. Club-mosses can produce the spores either in leaf axils or at the top of their stems. Th e spore capsules form in a cone-like structures (strobili) at the top of the plants.

  • The Order of Authors: Degrees of 'Popularity' and 'Fame' in John Clare's Writing
    The Order of Authors: Degrees of ‘Popularity’ and ‘Fame’ in John Clare’s Writing ADAM WHITE Abstract: This essay analyses Clare’s essay ‘Popularity in Authorship’, arguing that the work can be seen as a central statement in Clare’s recurrent concern with poetic fame and authorial reputation. By connecting ‘Popularity in Authorship’ with Clare’s sonnets on his Romantic contemporaries (Robert Bloomfield and Lord Byron), the essay contends that Clare’s complex understanding of ‘popular’ and ‘common’ notions of fame helps to bring into focus a distinctive contribution to debates about how authors were received by different audiences in the period. Contributor: Adam White currently teaches in English and American Studies at the University of Manchester, where he obtained his PhD. He has published a number of essays on Romantic poetry, most recently on Robert Burns and John Clare. In 2012 his essay on Leigh Hunt, John Keats, John Hamilton Reynolds, and John Clare was awarded second prize in the Keats-Shelley Memorial Association competition. For The Literary Encyclopedia he has written entries on Lord Byron, John Keats, the Brontë sisters, Charles Dickens, and Thomas Hardy. In a letter of 29 August 1828 to Thomas Pringle,1 John Clare states that ‘I would sooner be the Author of Tam o shanter then of the Iliad & Odyssey of Homer’ (Storey 437).2 It is intriguing that Clare should voice a bold preference for being the author of ‘Tam o’ Shanter’ given that earlier in his career he had in fact been called ‘a second [Robert] Burns’ (Storey 105) after the instant success of his first volume, Poems Descriptive of Rural Life and Scenery (1820).

(Caryophyllaceae) at sectional level in Iran. -Iran. J. Bot. 22 (2): 138-158. Tehran. In this research, Iranian species of 20 sections of the genus Silene L. have been anatomically studied for the first time. Some of the most important anatomical characters of leaf in this genus are listed here: general shape of leaves in transverse section, type of stomata cells, form of trichome, type of mesophyll (dorsiventral or isobilateral), presence or absence and type of collenchyma, thickness of sclerenchyma, existence or lack of water-storage, shape of vascular bundles, number of parenchyma layers in midrib, form and number of spongy and palisade parenchyma, presence or absence of parenchyma bundle sheath, number of vascular bundles in midrib. Based on our results we are able to identify and classify sections of this genus (tables 2, 3). In addition, we selected the most important characters related to midrib and lamina. All of these results confirm anatomical characters have taxonomic value for separating sections in the genus Silene.

Since then, a third edition (Stace, 2010) has been issued containing numerous taxonomic and nomenclatural changes as well as additions and exclusions to taxa listed in the second edition. Consequently, although the objective of this revised guide hast altered and much of the original text has been retained with only minor amendments, many new taxa have been included and there have been substantial alterations to the references listed. We are grateful to A.O. Chater and C.D. Preston for their comments on an earlier draft of these notes, and to the Biological Records Centre at the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology for organising and funding the printing of this booklet.

  • What Are Poets For?
    Afterword What Are Poets For? In the last issue of Windfall we called for a “new realistic romanticism, in which the human relation to nature is once again called to account, as well as exalted.” What do we mean by this apparent contradiction in terms, a “realistic romanticism,” and how would it work in writing poetry today? In poetry the term “Romanticism” recalls the movement that took hold at the beginning of the nineteenth century, including German poets such as Goethe, Novalis, and Hölderlin, and English poets such as Blake, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Byron, Shelley, Keats, and Clare. These poets in general were responding to the rise of the industrial age in Europe, the rationalistic, dehumanizing era characterized by Blake’s “dark Satanic mills.” The Romantic poets asserted the primacy of emotion and a redemptive relation to nature. In terms of writing about nature, Hölderlin produced numerous poems about the rivers of Germany, Keats gave us his “Ode to a Nightingale” and “Ode to Autumn,” and Shelley wrote “Ode to the West Wind.” Wordsworth engaged nature on many levels, most memorably in “Lines Written above Tintern Abbey.” Among Romantic poets, the one whose work dealt most directly with nature was John Clare (1793-1864). Other poets were inclined to idealize nature, and their treatment of it in poetry was often symbolic and literary— Keats’ nightingale was a creature of the imagination, Greek myth, and poetic tradition, not of observation: Thou wast not born for death, immortal Bird! No hungry generations tread thee down; The voice

BOUFFORD2 Harvard University Herbaria 22 Divinity Avenue Cambridge, Massachusetts 02138-2020 [email protected] [email protected] ABSTRACT Dot maps are provided to depict the distribution at the county level of the taxa of Magnoliophyta: Fabaceae growing outside of cultivation in the six New England states of the northeastern United States. The maps treat 172 taxa (species, subspecies, varieties, and hybrids, but not forms) based primarily on specimens in the major herbaria of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut, with most data derived from the holdings of the New England Botanical Club Herbarium (NEBC). Brief synonymy (to account for names used in standard manuals and floras for the area and on herbarium specimens), habitat, chromosome information, and common names are also provided. KEY WORDS: flora, New England, atlas, distribution, Fabaceae This article is the eleventh in a series (Angelo & Boufford 1996, 1998, 2000, 2007, 2010, 2011a, 2011b, 2012a, 2012b, 2012c) that presents the distributions of the vascular flora of New England in the form of dot distribution maps at the county level (Figure 1). Seven more articles are planned. The atlas is posted on the internet at http://neatlas.org, where it will be updated as new information becomes available. This project encompasses all vascular plants (lycophytes, pteridophytes and spermatophytes) at the rank of species, subspecies, and variety growing independent of cultivation in the six New England states.

  • Chians in Nova Scotia,. by J. \V. DAWSON, LL.D., F.R.S
    440 Dawson-New Oarboniferous Batmchians of Nova Scotia. ART. XLVIII.-On a Recent Di~covery of Oarbo?Jifero1.l.s Batra­ chians in Nova Scotia,. by J. \V. DAWSON, LL.D., F.R.S. 1. General Remarks. THE erect Sigillarire enclosed in the f!andstone overlying coal-group 15 of Section XV, Division 4 of the SOIl.th Joggins section, are perhaps the most remarkable repositories ever dis­ covered of the remains of Paleozoic land animals. As I have shown in discussing their character in my memoirs on the South Joggins Coal FOl'mation,* and my "Acadian Geology," some of these trees became em bedded in sandy deposits, and being rendered hollow by decay of their inner bark and the crumbling of their woody axes, remained for a long time as open holes or pits, gradually filling with vegetable debris and the wash of rains and land floods. They thus became places of habitation for land snails and millepedes, and pit-falls into which the smaller batrachians, prowling for prey among the undergrowth of the coal forest, fell and were unable to extri­ cate themselves. In this way the successive layers of deposit became stored with skeletons of batrachians which they have retained in an admirable st.ate of preservation. Onlrone sandstone at the Joggins is known to contain these reptiliferous trees, though erect Sigillarire are known at. more than sixty different levels, and many of these erect stumps have been broken up in the hope of making such discoveries. In the past summer, however, shells of Pupa vetustu were found bv Mr.
