First Occurences of Lemna Minuta Kunth (Fam
The Central Mediterranean Naturalist 5(2): 1-4 Malta, December 2010 ____________________________________________________________________________________________ FIRST OCCURENCES OF LEMNA MINUTA KUNTH (FAM. LEMNACEAE) IN THE MALTESE ISLANDS Stephen MIFSUD1 _____________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT The occurrence of Lemna minuta Kunth in the Maltese Islands is reported for the first time, from two sites in Malta and one site in Gozo. Notes on its historical and current distribution in Europe, its invasive properties and its habitat preferences in Malta are given. Also included are the distinguishing morphological features from the closely related Lemna minor L., another frequent alien species of ponds and valleys in the Maltese islands. Keywords: Lemna minuta, valleys, watercourses, alien species, invasive species, flora of Malta INTRODUCTION Lemna minuta Kunth (synonyms: L. minuscula Heter ; L. minima Phil ex Hegelm) commonly known as Least Duckweed, is native to the eastern area of North America, western coasts of Mexico and stretches in temprate zones in Central and South America (Mesterházy et al., 2007). It was introduced into Europe in the last third of the 20th Century where, soon after, it had become naturalised in several European countries. It was first recorded in Europe erroneously as L. valdiviana from Biarritz, South West of France in 1965 and then as L. minuscula from Cambridge, UK in 1977 (Landolt, 1979 cited in Lacey, 2003). Today, 45 years after its first published occurrence, L. minuta is widespread throughout Europe and it is recorded from France, England, Belgium, Germany, (GRIN; GBIF), Switzerland, Ukraine (GRIN), Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden (GBIF), Ireland (Lacey, 2003), Hungary (Mesterházy et al., 2007), Slovakia (Feráková & Onderíková, 1998), Romania (Ciocârlan, 2000), Greece (Landolt, 1986), Austria (Fischer et al., 2005) and Italy (Desfayes, 1993 cited in Iamonico et al., 2010 ; Conti et al., 2005). -

"Tal-Grixti" a Family of Żaqq and Tanbur Musicians
"TAL-GRIXTI" A FAMILY OF ŻAQQ AND TANBUR MUSICIANS Anna Borg Cardona, B.A., L.T.C.L. On his visit to Malta, George Percy Badger (1838) observed that Unative musical instruments", were "getting into disuse" (1). Amongst these was the Maltese bagpipe known as żaqq'. A hundred years later, the żaqq was stil1 in use, but evidently still considered to be waning. By the end of the first half of the twentieth century, the few remaining żaqq musicians were scattered around the isla:nd of Ma1ta in Naxxar, Mosta, Siġġiewi, Dingli, Żurrieq, Birgu (Vittoriosa), Marsa, Mellieħ.a and also on the sister island of Gozo, in Rabat. By the time Partridge and Jeal (2) investigated the situation between 1971 and 1973, they found a total of9living players in Malta and none in Gozo. Now the instrument is no longer played and may be considered virtually extinct. Zaqq players up to the early part of the twentieth century used to perform in the streets and in coffee or wine bars. They would often venture forth to nearby villages, making melodious music to the accompaniment of percussive instruments such as tambourine (tanbur) or fiiction drum (rabbaba, żuvżaJa). It was also not uncommon to witness a group of dancers c10sely followingthe musicians and contorting to their rhythms. This music came to be expected especially a.round Christmas time, Feast days (Festi) and Camival time. The few musicians known as żaqq players tended to pass theit knowledge on from generation to generation, in the same way as other arts, crafts and trades were handed down. -
The Origin of the Name of Gozo.Pdf
The Origin of the Name of Gozo Horatio CAESAR ROGER VELLA The Name of Gozo paper will show, Gozo is an ancient variant of Gaudos from which it is derived, as much as Għawdex is. “Do you come from Għawdex?” is a question that The irony is that Gozo, Għawdex and Gaudos did sounds as discordant as the other one, “Intom minn not originally belong to us, as I explained in other Gozo?”. To one not conversant with the Greek origin publications of mine.1 of the names of Gozo, such questions sound like being uttered by Maltese trying to speak English, and Gaudos is the Greek name of a small island on the mix Maltese with English or, the other way round, south-western side of Crete, with its smaller sister like knowledgeable tourists trying to speak Maltese island of Gaudapula. Cretan Gaudos is half the size and, to our mind, mix it with “English”. This paper of our island of Gozo, roughly at 24˚ longitude and will show that none is the case. 35˚ latitude (1˚ southern than our Gozo), and less than 30 miles from Crete. We, in fact, can use “Għawdex” liberally when speaking in English; likewise, we can use the name The pronunciation of Cretan Gaudos from Byzantine of “Gozo” when speaking in Maltese, for, as this times has been not Gaudos, but Gavdos, for since those times, the Greeks developed the pronunciation of the diphthong au as “av”, as in thauma, pronounced as “thavma”, meaning “miracle”. Similarly, eu is pronounced as “ev” as in Zeus pronounced as “Zevs”, the chief god of the Greek pantheon. -
Gozo During the Second World War - a Glimpse
Gozo During the Second World War - a Glimpse CHARLES BEZZINA Introduction squad was not set up in Gozo during the war and British soldiers, who started to visit Gozo in March The part played by Gozo during the war was 1941, were only stationed in Gozo primary schools somewhat different from that of Malta. Gozo, or other private buildings just for short periods, though subject to the same rules and regulations of to relax and also for their military exercises and wartime Malta, was not a military objective and it parades to boost the local morale. It was only in was only in early 1942 that Gozo became an enemy mid-1943 that, because of the temporary Gozo target. Yet Gozitans feared the enemy especially Airfield, some defence precautions were taken to in 1942 since the island was defenceless and had guard against any air attacks. nothing to fight with. Therefore certain exigencies that were introduced in Malta from the outbreak of From the outbreak of the war with Italy in June 1940 the hostilities with Italy, became in force in Gozo up to mid-December 1941, Italian and German only after the Luftwaffe intensified the attacks on the planes just passed over Gozo and occasionally island in 1942. Thus in Gozo public shelter digging dropped bombs only to lighten their load and turn and construction did not start before March 1941, back as fast as they could. Thus Gozo as a small the Demolition and Clearance was not established and defenceless island never endured the harsh until February 1942 and the Home Guard only came bombing that took place incessantly on Malta. -
Perzut Tal-Ghadma
Tasteissue34December2009Page27 christmas Perzut tal-ghadma CARMELITA CARUANA has lived away from Malta from many years and now teaches cooking in Italy. One of things she misses most about Malta is perżut tal-għadma. Here she sings its praises and devises some recipes with perżut tal-għadma as a key ingredient. Because Carmelita can’t buy perżut tal-għadma in Bologna, MARK CAMILLERI prepared the food for our photographs, to her recipes. ✥ Food photography: Pippa Zammit Cutajar Portrait of Mosta Bacon producers: George Scintilla christmas Tasteissue34December2009Page28 ere perżut tal-għadma an Italian product, its praises would be sung far and wide. It would be hung with medals and protected from inferior imitations made elsewhere by I.G.P and D.O.P designations. And it would be referred to as “Sua Maestà, il Prosciutto Cotto di Malta”. Living in Bologna, Italian Wfood capital and home to superlative raw and cured pork products, I know a top level product when I taste it, and can imagine the praise Italian gourmets would shower on our superb cooked ham. It has never ceased to me amaze me that perżut tal-għadma - sometimes called perżut tal-koxxa but identified by those who make it as perżut tal-għadma, the bone being a crucial element - has such a low profile, going unnoticed and unmentioned. We rightly sing the praises of our bread, capers, gbejniet, zalzett and pastizzi but never a word about our superb ham, perhaps because people erroneously believe it is an imported product. I do what I can to boost its reputation, raving about it to everyone, inviting people to inhale and savour the perfumes as I unwrap the package just brought home. -
