Franchet (1834-1900) has described near 60 taxa in the genus Primula L., 16 taxa from them were discussed in a first publication. Our current paper will continue the researches devoted to the typi- fication of Primula names, on the base of expert studying the specimens in herbaria BM, E, G, K, LE, MHA, MW, NS, NSK, P, W, WU, Z and open databases. In 1886 Franchet published an article: “Observations sur deux Primula monocarpiques de la Chine et descriptions d’espèces nouvelles de la Chine et du Thibet oriental” and described 11 new species: P. davidii Franch., P. forbesii Franch., P. heucherifolia Franch., P. incisa Franch., P. malacoides, Franch. P. malvacea Franch., P. membranifolia Franch., P. moupinensis Franch., P. oreodoxa KEY WORDS Franch., P. ovalifolia Franch. and P. poissonii Franch. For P. davidii and P. heucherifolia we found only one E. Drake del Castillo, herbarium sheet for each and they will be holotypes. For eight species: P. forbesii, P. malacoides, P. malvacea, A. David, P. membranifolia, P. moupinensis, P. oreodoxa, P. ovalifolia and P. poissonii were selected lectotypes from several J.M. Delavay, type specimens, herbarium sheets. The name Primula incisa is later homonym and early was used by Lamarck (1779), so lectotypifications. correct name for this taxon is P. blinii H. Lév.

As the protologue citation does not refer to a single French Guiana. The scientific names of Primula plants are specimen, all specimens that correspond to the original frequently misapplied to plants in cultivation. Although description have to be treated as syntypes. According to the application of scientific names is determined by the use Art. 9.6 of the ICN: a syntype is any specimen cited in the of nomenclatural types, as stated in Art. 7.1 of the Interna- protologue when there is no holotype, or any one of two tional Code of Nomenclature for Algae, Fungi, and Plants or more specimens simultaneously designated in the pro- (ICN) (Turland et al. 2018), the requirement to indicate a tologue as types.

Consequently, many (Turland et al. 2018). Since usually M. A.

This study attempted to improve seed germination by testing the effect of several treatments including dry after-ripening (DAR), light, cold stratification (CS) and temperature gradient treatments. DAR increased germination at 15/5 and 25/15°C, as compared with fresh seeds. DAR seeds germinated significantly better (˃ 80%) at higher temperatures (20-28°C) than at lower (10°C, < 20%; 15°C, < 30%) and extreme high temperatures (30°C, < 55%; 32°C, 0%). Incubation at alternating temperature (25/15°C) did not significantly improve germination; whereas at 15/5°C germination increased significantly, compared with the corresponding constant temperature (20 and 10°C, respectively). DAR seeds had a strict light requirement at all temperatures.

  • THE GIANT PANDA (Ailuropoda Melanoleuca): a BIBLIOGRAPHY (1936-1994)
    TITLE: THE GIANT PANDA (Ailuropoda melanoleuca): A BIBLIOGRAPHY (1936-1994). AUTHOR & INSTITUTION: Kay A. Kenyon, Librarian National Zoological Park Branch Smithsonian Institution Libraries Washington, DC DATE: November 1984 LAST UPDATE: January 1995 INTRODUCTION The following bibliography of the giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) is for the research scientist, but is useful for anyone interested in pandas. It includes popular as well as serious scientific works in foreign languages as well as in English. References cover all aspects of the giant panda--its discovery, evolution, physiology, anatomy, behavior, reproduction, feeding habits, and diseases. This bibliography is divided into four sections and is arranged alphabetically by author. Both articles and books are included. The first section begins in 1936 when the first giant panda, Su-Lin, was brought to the United States and covers the next two decades (1936-1956). The second section covers the next 20 years (1957-1977). During this period more giant pandas found their way to the Western World--Chi-Chi at the London Zoo, An-An at the Moscow Zoo, Ying-Ying and Pe-Pe at the Mexican Zoo. Chia-Chia and Ching-Ching at the London Zoo, and of course, our own famous pandas, Ling-Ling and Hsing-Hsing at the National Zoo*. The third section covers the years 1978-1989 and the fourth section begins in 1990 and brings us to the present. * Hsing-Hsing, the female panda at the National Zoo died of heart failure in 1993. 1936-1956 . page 2 1957-1977 . page 7 1978-1989 . page 14 1990-1994 . page 24 1 1935-1956 Allen, C.M.

  • Catholic Missionaries on China's Qinling Shu Roads
    Catholic Missionaries on China’s Qinling Shu Roads: Including an account of the Hanzhong Mission at Guluba David L B Jupp URL: http://qinshuroads.org/ September 2012. Addenda & Corrigenda: November 2013, April 2015, July 2016 & January 2018. Minor edits January 2020. Abstract: The background to this document is found in the history of China’s Shu Roads that passed through the Qinling and Ba Mountains for many years. The roads have linked the northern and southern parts of western China since the earliest records and probably before. In all that time, the common description of the Shu roads was that they were “hard”. In the Yuan, Ming and Qing periods when China was open and accessible, foreign travellers visited the Shu Roads and some left accounts of their travels. Among the early travellers were Catholic Missionaries who moved into the west of China to spread Christianity. This document first outlines the historical environment of the open periods and then identifies various events and Catholic Priests who seem to have travelled the Shu Roads or have left descriptions that are of interest today. The main focus of this document is on the recorded experiences of Missionaries mostly from the Jesuit, Franciscan and Vincentian orders of the Catholic Church of Rome who travelled to the Hanzhong Basin. The main items include: Marco Polo’s (circa 1290) account of travels in China which many Priests who arrived later had read to find out about China; Jesuit Fr. Étienne Faber’s travels to Hanzhong in 1635; Jesuit Fr. Martino Martini’s description of Plank Roads in his Atlas of China in 1655; Franciscan Fr.

He knew that this made him old-fashioned, dated as a researcher, but he didn´t care. Some of the kids who worked for him had a real feeling for computers, an intuition. Grant never felt that. He found computers to be alien, mystifying machines. Even the fundamental distinction between an operating system and an application left him confu- sed and disheartened, literally lost in a foreign geography he didn´t begin to comprehend. Michael Crichton Jurassic Park, 126. 1990. Aitzinsolasa Idazlan honekin Armand David (1826-1900) naturalista ezpeletar handia omendu eta ezagutaraztea gura dugu, bera baita "Eskual-herritik behinere jalgi diren jakintsun han- dienetarik bat". Izan ere, aita Daviden garrantzia handia izan arren, nekez aurkitzen da berorren ekarpen zientifikoen berririk daukan lagunen bat. Kasurako, edonorentzat da ezagun panda eta pandaren inguruko hil-ala-biziko problematika, baina inortxok ere ez daki animalia karismatiko hori Euskal Herriko seme batek aurkitu eta deskribatu zuenik. Jakina, pandarena izebergaren erpina da, alegia, Armand Daviden kurrikulu zientifikoaren erakusgarri nagusia. Horrexegatik esan dugu omendu, batetik, eta eza- gutarazi, bestalde. Armand Daviden Txinako ibilaldiak lorpen ezezagun eta sinesgaitzez beteta daude, eta baita abentura zoragarriz zipristinduta: jakina, horiek guztiak bildu ditugu liburuan barrena, gizonaren alde biografikoa osatu dugunean.
