Toll Free: (800) 438-7199 Fax: (805) 964-1329 Local: (805) 683-1561 Web: www.smgrowers.com We celebrated our 30th year as a nursery last year and now start the climb towards our next decade in business in a year that has seen good rainfall and the promise of a strengthening economy. To do our part to stimulate an economic boom, we are, for the second year in row, releasing an annual catalog that offers our customers many new plants but no overall price increases. Having received the winter rains, we look forward to a glorious spring full of wildflowers but must remember that California's water resources are still stretched thin and that we must not return to water wasting gardening practices of the past. The sustainability of our beautiful landscapes will still depend on making the appropriate plant choices. To this end, this year we have again added to our ever increasing palette of plants that do well within our mediterranean climate, with little or no supplemental irrigation. This includes the addition of many new succulent plants. Of the 118 new plants added this year, nearly half are succulents in such familiar genera as Aeonium, Agave, Aloe, Crassula, Echeveria, Sedum and Senecio. We have also expanded our line of plants from mediterranean climate regions and in particular those that are California native plants. In an effort to further promote our native plant offerings, we are working with Carol Bornstein, author and native plant authority, on new descriptive pages about California native plants for our website; these pages can be easily accessed by clicking on the new "Go Native" link from our home page. Lists of the native California plants and succulents that we grow and a complete list of all of our "new" plants can be found in the back of this catalog. We look forward to working with all of our customers to make 2010 another excellent year for horticulture!

The study reveals that the physical characteristics of fruit, that is, color, texture and density were significantly affected by hot air drying. The chemical parameters of fruit determined, total soluble solid (TSS), acidity, pH, moisture, ash content, carbohydrate, protein, fat, ascorbic acid, total phenol, flavonoids and iodine content also evaluated as chemical characteristics. The results showed that the chemical and physicochemical characteristics are little affected by drying so with the various nutritional benefits, the fresh and dried fruits could be recommended for commercial exploitation and preparation of different value added products.

    H3.3 Macaronesian Inland Cliff

    European Red List of Habitats - Screes Habitat Group H3.3 Macaronesian inland cliff Summary The perennial vegetation of crevices and ledges of cliff faces in Macaronesia away from coastal salt-spray is of very diverse character - some, for example, dominated by succulents, others rich in ferns and bryophytes characteristic of shaded situations - and it includes several hundreds of taxa endemic to the archipelagoes. The main threats are mountaineering and rock climbing, outdoor sports and leisure activities, and construction of infrastructures such as roads and motorways. Synthesis There is no evidence of significant past reductions, either in the last 50 years or historically, and also future prospects are good, as no serious threats are envisaged, besides touristic/leisure activities and putative faulty environmental impact assessments that may overlook this habitat as valuable. Reduction in quantity, reduction in quality and criteria of geographic distribution yield the Least Concern (LC) category. In spite of the LC category, conservation policy and management should restrict to the maximum any threat to or reduction of the habitat, as it has a very high conservation value, because of high endemism of species and communities with many local and regional variaties. Overall Category & Criteria EU 28 EU 28+ Red List Category Red List Criteria Red List Category Red List Criteria Least Concern - Least Concern - Sub-habitat types that may require further examination Four general subtypes can be distinguished based on species composition and different ecological conditions. However, at present, no data are available to carry out an individual assessment of each of them. In the future, if detailed plot sampling has been carried out, such an evaluation may be possible.

Pomme épineuse, stramoine, datura, feuille du diable, herbe du diable (Fr). Figueira do inferno, pomo espinhoso, erva dos bruxos, palha verde, estramonio (Po). Muranha (Sw). Origin and geographic distribution Datura stramonium is native to the Americas and has been introduced in many tropical, subtropical and even temperate regions. It is a naturalized weed in many African countries, but is probably seriously under-reported. Uses Datura stramonium and Datura metel L. have largely similar medicinal uses throughout the world. The most widely known use of Datura stramonium and of other Datura species is for relieving asthma, cough, tuberculosis and bronchitis by smoking the dried leaves, roots or flowers. ‘Asthma cigarettes’ have been shown to be very effective in some cases, but in other cases they had little or no effect. Cigarettes made with the leaves are also used to treat Parkinson’s disease. A decoction or infusion of leaves is given as a sedative to mental and schizophrenic patients. The leaves are applied as a dressing to cure rheumatic pain, swellings, wounds, gout, burns, ingrown toe-nails, fungal infections, tumours and ulcers. Dried pulverized leaves are dusted on wounds or applied after mixing the powder with fat or Vaseline. In DR Congo pounded fresh root and fresh leaves are soaked in water and the liquid is given in enema as an abortifacient.

Both Hierarchical classification atropine and scopolamine are used clinically, but they are also important in a forensics context because they are Psychoactive plants abused recreationally for their psychoactive properties. The accurate species attribution of these plants, which Seed species identifiction are related taxonomically, and which all contain the same characteristic biomarkers, is a challenging problem in Metabolome profiling both forensics and horticulture, as the plants are not only mind-altering, but are also important in landscaping as Direct analysis in real time-mass spectrometry ornamentals. Ambient ionization mass spectrometry in combination with a hierarchical classification workflow Chemometrics is shown to enable species identification of these plants. The hierarchical classification simplifies the classifi- cation problem to primarily consider the subset of models that account for the hierarchy taxonomy, instead of having it be based on discrimination between species using a single flat classification model. Accordingly, the seeds of 24 nightshade plant species spanning 5 genera (i.e. Atropa, Brugmansia, Datura, Hyocyamus and Mandragora), were analyzed by direct analysis in real time-high resolution mass spectrometry (DART-HRMS) with minimal sample preparation required.

  • Aeonium Webb & Berthelot in Gibraltar

    Aeonium Webb & Berthelot in Gibraltar

    Comunicaciones 1 HE GENUS AEONIUM WEBB & BERTHELOT IN GIBRALTAR Brian M. Lamb /Conservador del Gibraltar Botanic Gardens The genus Aeonium Webb & Berthelot belongs to the family Crassulaceae often refered to as the Houseleek family. Some 32 species are endemic to the Canary Islands, two to the Cape Verde Islands, two to Madeira, one to Morocco and possibly today three on the other side of Africa from northem Kenya through to Arabia. The three species that can be seen in Gibraltar are: A. undulatum native to Gran Canaria A. haworthii native to Tenerife A. arboreum native to Morocco. The two Canarian Aeoniums have almost certainly been introduced by man, probably during the latter part of the 19th century, particularly A. ~indulatumwhich is usually only found as a cultivated plant grown only on a small scale. However, A. haworthii is to be found in a number of places in Gibraltar, as naturalised colonies growing from pockets or fissures in the limestone rock, particularly on the eastem side, southwards from Catalan Bay, while on the westem side a sizeable colony exists below Bleak House and a small one is now forming near Camp Bay, growing in association with native Sedum. A. haworthii seems to be quite a popular patio and verandah plant, as it is not a giant growing species, and has lovely red edged glaucous leaves. The flower colour is variable, from white or pale yellow through to rose-pink. The seeds ofAeonium are very small, as with most members of the family Crassulacease, produced in great abundance, and are easily distributed by the wind.

    Vicariance, Climate Change, Anatomy and Phylogeny of Restionaceae

    Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society (2000), 134: 159–177. With 12 figures doi:10.1006/bojl.2000.0368, available online at http://www.idealibrary.com on Under the microscope: plant anatomy and systematics. Edited by P. J. Rudall and P. Gasson Vicariance, climate change, anatomy and phylogeny of Restionaceae H. P. LINDER FLS Bolus Herbarium, University of Cape Town, Rondebosch 7701, South Africa Cutler suggested almost 30 years ago that there was convergent evolution between African and Australian Restionaceae in the distinctive culm anatomical features of Restionaceae. This was based on his interpretation of the homologies of the anatomical features, and these are here tested against a ‘supertree’ phylogeny, based on three separate phylogenies. The first is based on morphology and includes all genera; the other two are based on molecular sequences from the chloroplast genome; one covers the African genera, and the other the Australian genera. This analysis corroborates Cutler’s interpretation of convergent evolution between African and Australian Restionaceae. However, it indicates that for the Australian genera, the evolutionary pathway of the culm anatomy is much more complex than originally thought. In the most likely scenario, the ancestral Restionaceae have protective cells derived from the chlorenchyma. These persist in African Restionaceae, but are soon lost in Australian Restionaceae. Pillar cells and sclerenchyma ribs evolve early in the diversification of Australian Restionaceae, but are secondarily lost numerous times. In some of the reduction cases, the result is a very simple culm anatomy, which Cutler had interpreted as a primitively simple culm type, while in other cases it appears as if the functions of the ribs and pillars may have been taken over by a new structure, protective cells developed from epidermal, rather than chlorenchyma, cells.

    The International Aloe Science Council Presents an Aloe Scientific Primer International Aloe Science Council Commonly Traded Aloe Species The plant Aloe spp. has long been utilized in a variety of ways throughout history, which has been well documented elsewhere and need not be recounted in detail here, particularly as the purpose of this document is to discuss current and commonly traded aloe species. Aloe, in its various species, can presently and in the recent past be found in use as a decorative element in homes and gardens, in the creation of pharmaceuticals, in wound care products such as burn ointment, sunburn protectant and similar applications, in cosmetics, and as a food, dietary supplements and other health and nutrition related items. Recently, various species of the plant have even been used to weave into clothing and in mattresses. Those species of Aloe commonly used in commerce today can be divided into three primary categories: those used primarily in the production of crude drugs, those used primarily for decorative purposes, and those used in health, nutritional and related products. For reference purposes, this paper will outline the primary species and their uses, but will focus on the species most widely used in commerce for health, nutritional, cosmetic and supplement products, such as aloe vera. Components of aloe vera currently used in commerce The Aloe plant, and in particular aloe vera, has three distinct raw material components that are processed and found in manufactured goods: leaf juice; inner leaf juice; and aloe latex. A great deal of confusion regarding the terminology of this botanical and its components has been identified, mostly because of a lack of clear definitions, marketing, and other factors.
