The garden was opened to the public in 1973. The Garden's plant collection consist of over 3000 taxa which are exhibited in the thematic sections: japanese garden, plant taxonomy section, alpine garden, decorative plant section, park greenery, medicinal plant section, polish flora section and arboretum. The biggest attraction of the Garden are: a collection of 50 000 tulips forming in late april picturesque carpet, a collection of peonies and daylilies represented by many varieties, collection of medicinal plants, lilacs, hydrangeas, ornamental apple trees and many others. In the Garden there are several educational paths which allow visitors to explore the mysteries of nature. The new attraction of the Botanic Garden is The Open-air Plant Museum with traditional rural garden and orchard. The Botanic Garden has also an interesting collection of greenhouse plants (more than 2000 taxa), which is presented in the Palm House. There are three pavilions: subtropical flora, cacti and other succulents and tropical flora with ,the oldest in Poland, palm trees. The integral part of the Palm House is a Didactic Garden which has a lot of plant rarities, especially shrubs and trees. Primarily the Garden performs didactic functions, popularizes horticultural, botanic and ecological knowledge and plays the social role. Garden staff conduct a variety of educational activities such as workshops, laboratory exercises and guided tours for children and adults. During each year there are more than 20 organized thematic Equatorial sundial on the didactic path “Nature Spacetime” (photo by Kamila Kolasińska) exhibitions and outdoor events. A very important role of the Garden is also rare and endangered plant species conservation.

It is only recently (the first artificial dye was invented in 1857) that the textile industry has turned to synthetic dyes. Today, many craftspeople are rediscovering the joy of achieving colour through the use of renewable, non-toxic, natural sources. Natural dyes are inviting and satisfying to use. Most are familiar substances that will spark creative ideas and widen your view of the world. Try experimenting. Colour can be coaxed from many different sources. Once the cloth or fibre is prepared for dyeing it will soak up the colour, yielding a range of results from deep jew- el-like tones to dusky heathers and pastels.

METHODS: We used Heuchera cylindrica (Saxifragaceae) to test how polyploidy influences doi:10.1002/ajb2.1294 interactions with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). Here we first confirmed the presence of AMF in H. cylindrica, and then we used field- collected specimens to quantify and compare the presence of AMF structures while controlling for site- specific variation. RESULTS: Tetraploids had higher colonization rates as measured by total, hyphal, and nutritional- exchange structures; however, we found that diploids and tetraploids did not differ in vesicle colonization rates. CONCLUSIONS: The results suggest that polyploidy may alter belowground nutritional mutualisms with plants.

Tausch produced naphthoquinones known as DNA-topoisomerases inhibitors has been used as the traditional therapeutic agent, especially wound healing in Turkey. The antimicrobial activity against 9 clinical microorganisms and cytotoxicity on canine mammary carcinoma cell line (CMT-U27) of Alkanna tinctoria root extracts (methanol, ethanol and acetonitrile) were researched by using MTT analysis. Alkanet root extracts showed antimicrobial activity against 2 (Proteus spp. and S. haemolyticus) out of 9 microorganisms. In vitro study towards CMT-U27 cancer cells, acetonitrile root extract at 100 µg/mL concentration showed strong and significant anti- proliferative effect. Our results are manifested that the Alkanet acetonitrile root extract can be evaluated as potential therapeutic agent, immediately after identification of bio-active metabolits in extract.

  • Systematic Treatment of Veronica L
    eISSN: 2357-044X Taeckholmia 38 (2018): 168-183 Systematic treatment of Veronica L. Section Beccabunga (Hill) Dumort (Plantaginaceae) Faten Y. Ellmouni1, Mohamed A. Karam1, Refaat M. Ali1, Dirk C. Albach2 1Department of Botany, Faculty of Science, Fayoum University, 63514 Fayoum, Egypt. 2Institute of biology and environmental sciences, Carl von Ossietzky-University, 26111 Oldenburg, Germany. *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract Veronica species mostly occur in damp fresh water places and in the Mediterranean precipitation regime. Members of this genus grow at different altitudes from sea level to high alpine elevations. They show a high level of polymorphism and phenotypic plasticity in their responses to variations of the enviromental factors, a quality that allows them to occur over a wide range of conditions. A group with particular high levels of polymorphism is the group of aquatic Veronica L. species in V. sect. Beccabunga (Hill) Dumort. Here, we attempt to unravel some confusion in the taxonomic complexity in V. section Beccabunga. We recognize 20 taxa in V. sect. Beccabunga and explore the occurrence of V. section Beccabunga, mainly in the Mediterranean basin; especially in Egypt (Nile delta and Sinai), Turkey and Iran with each country containing 10 taxa, from a total of 20 taxa, and characterized by endemics, or near-endemic as Veronica anagalloides ssp. taeckholmiorum.The results confirmed that V. section Beccabunga is divided into three subsections Beccabunga, Anagallides and Peregrinae, which essentially can be differentiated by the absence or presence of apetiole. Keywords: Morphological key, systematic treatment, Veronica, V. section Beccabunga Introduction The tribe Veroniceae, formerly part of the genus include: life-form (subshrubby/perennial vs.

  • Heuchera Lakelae (Saxifragaceae), a New Species from the Sierra La Marta and Sierra Coahuilón, Coahuila and Nuevo León, Mexico
    Phytotaxa 124 (1): 37–42 (2013) ISSN 1179-3155 (print edition) www.mapress.com/phytotaxa/ Article PHYTOTAXA Copyright © 2013 Magnolia Press ISSN 1179-3163 (online edition) http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/phytotaxa.124.1.4 Heuchera lakelae (Saxifragaceae), a new species from the Sierra La Marta and Sierra Coahuilón, Coahuila and Nuevo León, Mexico RYAN FOLK Herbarium, Department of Evolution, Ecology, and Organismal Biology, The Ohio State University, 1315 Kinnear Road, Columbus, OH 43212, [email protected] Abstract Described herein is a new species from high-elevation limestone outcrops in the northern Sierra Madre Oriental, closely allied to Heuchera sanguinea, from which it is distinguished on the basis of 6 morphological characters (external flower surface color and indumentum, petal color, petal shape, stamen exsertion, and overall flower shape) as well restriction to high elevations and a geographical range restricted to the Sierra la Marta and Sierra Coahuilón. Introduction Heuchera is the largest by far of a series of North American endemic genera of the Saxifragaceae, with about 43 species. It is also the most widely distributed, occurring from Kodiak Island, Alaska, south to the Sierra Madre de Oaxaca of southern Mexico, and from the Atlantic forests to the Pacific coastal bluffs within meters of the sea. It has its greatest diversity in the western Cordillera, where it is well-known for its difficult morphological patterns and frequent hybridization both ancient and recent (Wells & Shipes 2009, Rosendahl, Butters & Lakela 1936, Soltis et al. 1991, Folk & Freudenstein unpublished). My own morphological investigations have indicated that there is significant diversity within the genus in the mountains of Mexico that has yet to be described, particularly in the north, owing to a high natural diversity and to the paltry work that has been devoted to them in this area.
