Warfal ABSTRACT.-The current status of Mertensia oblongifoUa (Nutt.) G. Don and its allied taxa is surveyed. On the bases of continuously coherent morphological characters and/or regionally correlated variations, more than 30 taxa, including species, subspecies, varieties, and 1 forma, previously considered different from M. oblongifolia, are now placed under synonymy of this species. Those taxa currently known as M. fusiformis Greene, M. bakeri Greene, and M. bakeri var. osterhoutii Williams are among the new synonyms. Typification, taxonomy, and morphological problems ofM. oblongifo lia are discussed. Key words: Mertensia oblongifolia, typification, Wxorwmy, morphology, allied taxa. Nuttall (1834) described and depicted Pul represents an important additional morpholog monaria oblongifolia from a collection ofplants ical feature in the taxon. -

PULMONARIAS - a TALK by SALLY-ANN TURNER Karen Sparrow
PULMONARIAS - A TALK BY SALLY-ANN TURNER Karen Sparrow c c o m p a n i e d b y s o m e excellent photos, Sally-Ann Turner’s lecture to the HPS A Essex Group in September 2015 provided us with some very interesting information about this genus from the borage family. Most pulmonarias are spring- flowering woodlanders and grow best in a humus-rich, moist (but not boggy) soil in dappled shade, although some (especially seedlings) © Kevin Marsh prefer growing in some sun. They have been cultivated since the 16th century, and were given the common name of ‘lungwort’, as the plant leaves looked like diseased lungs. The popular thought at the Pulmonaria angustifolia t i m e w a s t h a t p l a n t s w h i c h resembled diseases should be used to treat the illnesses they characterised. The name Pulmonaria (from the Latin ‘pulmo’ meaning lung) was first used by the German physician Leonard Fuchs (1501-1566). The common Pulmonaria officinalis has blue and pink flowers, and because of this its other common names include ‘soldiers and sailors’; ’boys and girls’; ‘Adam and Eve’; ‘Joseph and Mary’ and - due to the spotting on the leaves - ‘spotted dog’. Pulmonaria flowers are particularly good as feeding stations for insects, so they are a welcome sight for bees, moths, butterflies and other insects out early in the year. Pulmonarias have two seasons of interest: flowers in spring, and foliage (often ornamental) in summer. Plants produce flowers on coreline stems, accompanied by leaves which are not the same as those that appear in the summer. -
Research on Spontaneous and Subspontaneous Flora of Botanical Garden "Vasile Fati" Jibou
Volume 19(2), 176- 189, 2015 JOURNAL of Horticulture, Forestry and Biotechnology www.journal-hfb.usab-tm.ro Research on spontaneous and subspontaneous flora of Botanical Garden "Vasile Fati" Jibou Szatmari P-M*.1,, Căprar M. 1 1) Biological Research Center, Botanical Garden “Vasile Fati” Jibou, Wesselényi Miklós Street, No. 16, 455200 Jibou, Romania; *Corresponding author. Email: [email protected] Abstract The research presented in this paper had the purpose of Key words inventory and knowledge of spontaneous and subspontaneous plant species of Botanical Garden "Vasile Fati" Jibou, Salaj, Romania. Following systematic Jibou Botanical Garden, investigations undertaken in the botanical garden a large number of spontaneous flora, spontaneous taxons were found from the Romanian flora (650 species of adventive and vascular plants and 20 species of moss). Also were inventoried 38 species of subspontaneous plants, adventive plants, permanently established in Romania and 176 vascular plant floristic analysis, Romania species that have migrated from culture and multiply by themselves throughout the garden. In the garden greenhouses were found 183 subspontaneous species and weeds, both from the Romanian flora as well as tropical plants introduced by accident. Thus the total number of wild species rises to 1055, a large number compared to the occupied area. Some rare spontaneous plants and endemic to the Romanian flora (Galium abaujense, Cephalaria radiata, Crocus banaticus) were found. Cultivated species that once migrated from culture, accommodated to environmental conditions and conquered new territories; standing out is the Cyrtomium falcatum fern, once escaped from the greenhouses it continues to develop on their outer walls. Jibou Botanical Garden is the second largest exotic species can adapt and breed further without any botanical garden in Romania, after "Anastasie Fătu" care [11]. -
A List of Vascular Plant Species in the Nova Scotia Flora
A list of vascular plant species in the Nova Scotia flora AFTER the page below was posted, The Atlantic Canada Conservation Data Centre posted their authoritative lists of Species Ranks for vascualar and non-vascular plants and for invertebrate and vertebrate animals for each of the Atlantic Provinces. See ACCDC Species Ranks. The page below remains posted for the time-being, but visitors are advised that the ACCDC Species Ranks pages are the better ones to consult. A list of native and naturalized vascular plant species in Nova Scotia was generated from Wild Species 2005: The General Status of Species in Canada using the General Status Search Tool. See Wild Species 2005:General Status Summaries:Vascular Plants for details about the listings. The Report parameters were: Report: "Ferns (2005), Orchids (2005), Vascular Plants (2005)" Status: "At risk, May be at risk, Sensitive, Secure, Undetermined, Not assessed, Exotic" Range: "NS" A total of 1657 records matched those criteria. The conservation rankings and number of species within each rank were as follows: Rank Description No. Species 1 At Risk 8 2 May Be At Risk 127 3 Sensitive 136 4 Secure 694 5 Undetermined 96 6 Not Assessed 0 7 Exotic 596 The list is convenient for looking up scientific names of species for which you have a common name or vice versa, also to see a list of all species within a family. Use your browser's FIND function to find a name within the page. Limitations Please note that only one common name for each species is given, also that synonyms for the scientific names are not listed.
