  • Watsonia 27 (2008), 171-187
    Watsonia 27: 171–187 (2008) PLANT RECORDS 171 Plant Records Records for publication must be submitted to the appropriate Vice-county Recorder (see BSBI Year Book 2008), and not to the Editors. Following publication of the New Atlas of the British & Irish Flora and the Vice-county Census Catalogue, new criteria have been drawn up for the inclusion of records in Plant Records. (See BSBI News no. 95, January 2004 pp. 10 & 11). These are outlined below: First records of all taxa (species, subspecies and hybrids) included in the VCCC, designated as native, archaeophyte, neophyte or casual. First record since 1970 of the taxa above, except in the case of Rubus, Hieracium and Taraxacum. Records demonstrating the rediscovery of all taxa published as extinct in the VCCC or subsequently. Newly reported definite extinctions. Deletions from the VCCC (e.g. through the discovery of errors, the redetermination of specimens etc.) NB – only those errors affecting VCCC entry. New 10km square records for Rare and Scarce plants, defined as those species in the New Atlas mapped in the British Isles in 100 10km squares or fewer. (See BSBI News no. 95, January 2004 pp. 36–43). Records for the subdivisions of vice-counties will not be treated separately; they must therefore be records for the vice-county as a whole. However, records will be accepted for the major islands in v.cc. 102–104, 110 and 113. In the following list, records are arranged in the order given in the List of Vascular Plants of the British Isles and its supplements by D.

Michele Funston Shrubs, sometimes small trees, ascending or clambering, evergreen or deciduous, glabrous, rarely pubescent. Leaves opposite, rarely also alternate or whorled, entire, serrulate, or crenate, stipulate. Inflorescences axillary, occasionally terminal, cymose. Flowers bisexual, 4(or 5)-merous; petals light yellow to dark purple. Disk fleshy, annular, 4- or 5-lobed, intrastaminal or stamens on disk; anthers longitudinally or obliquely dehiscent, introrse. Ovary 4- or 5-locular; ovules erect to pendulous, 2(–12) per locule. Capsule globose, rugose, prickly, laterally winged or deeply lobed, occasionally only 1–3 lobes developing, loculicidally dehiscent. Seeds 1 to several, typically 2 developing, ellipsoid; aril basal to enveloping seed. Two subgenera and ca. 130 species: Asia, Australasia, Europe, Madagascar, North America; 90 species (50 endemic, one introduced) in China. Euonymus omeiensis W. P. Fang (J. Sichuan Univ., Nat. Sci. Ed. 1: 38. 1955) was described from Sichuan (Emei Shan, Shishungou, ca. 1300 m). This putative species was misdiagnosed; it is a synonym of Reevesia pubescens Masters in the Sterculiaceae (see Fl. China 12: 317. 2007). The protologue describes the fruit as having bracts. The placement of Euonymus tibeticus W. W. Smith (Rec. Bot. Surv.

A REVISION OF THE GENUS TEMPLETONIA R.Br. (PAPILIONACEAE) by J. H. Ross* ABSTRACT The endemic Australian genus Templetonia is revised. Eleven species are recognized and the uncertainty concerning the application of the name T. sulcata (Meissn.) Benth. is discussed. This discussion includes the selection ol a lectotype for Bossiaea rossii F. Muell., a possible synonym. Descriptions, a key to the identification of species, illustrations, and distribution maps are provided, together with notes on ecology and relationships. Two previous papers describing T. incana (.Muelleria 4: 247-249 (1980)) and T. negketa (loc. cit. 390-393 (1981)) should be used in conjunction with the present revision. INTRODUCTION Templetonia, a small genus of 1 1 species described by R. Brown in Ait. f Hort. , Kew. ed. 2, 4: 269 (1812), was named in honour of the Irish botanist John Templeton (1776-1825) ot Orange Grove, Belfast.

  • Valuing Ealing's Urban Trees
    Valuing Ealing’s Urban Trees EALING I-TREE ECO TECHNICAL REPORT Report Published in 2018 ©Trees for Cities 2018 Designed by Arup FOREWORD Ealing’s trees are an integral part of the borough’s character, from the 400 year old woodlands to the Cherry blossom-lined streets; even the borough’s logo sports a tree. Trees can play an important role in promoting mental and physical wellbeing, adding colour and beauty to the built urban landscape, reducing the heat island effect and they have the ability to absorb large quantities of water, to help reduce the risk of flooding. Ealing’s trees are becoming increasingly valuable as we face challenges of climate change and population growth. The Council’s vision is to increase and enhance the whole of the urban tree stock for the enjoyment of current and future generations and to ensure that trees remain a defining feature of the splendid suburban borough that is Ealing. One of the overarching themes of the new draft London Plan (December 2017) is creating a healthy city. The Plan suggests that green infrastructure, including trees, must be planned, designed, and managed in a more integrated way to ensure Londoners reap the multitude of benefits it provides, including mental and physical health and wellbeing. The Plan emphases that the urban forest is an important part of London’s green infrastructure and a major asset to the urban environment. This report helps us better understand the importance of Ealing’s trees and woodlands. The economic and social value of trees has become increasingly evident across all of London and has been highlighted in the London i-Tree Assessment and the Natural Capital Account for London’s public parks and green spaces.

  • Studies of Fruit and Seed Characters of Selected Euonymus Species Bernd Schulz, Translated by Wolfgang Bopp
    Studies of fruit and seed characters of selected Euonymus species Bernd Schulz, translated by Wolfgang Bopp Summary Euonymus species are particularly prized for their decorative fruits. This work describes and illustrates (in water colour), the fruits and seeds of 30 commonly cultivated species found in Central European plant collections. The text discusses the criteria for species differentiation. As well as the shape of the fruits and seeds, seed colouration is described and compared to several published accounts in an attempt to correct previous misconceptions. This paper was originally published in German in 2006 (Schulz, 2006a). This translation contains some minor additions and adjustments to the original text and has been translated to the best of our ability, albeit not being a 100% accurate translation. 1 Introduction The German common name of Euonymus europaeus, is “Pfaffenhütchen” which translates as priest’s hat or mitre, in reference to its shape. In past centuries, the wearing of such a hat was a status symbol, showing the belonging to a professional group. Priests in Germany have, since the sixteenth century, been wearing the so-called biretta1,”a stiff and square-shaped head covering as worn by priests, also found in a wider and bigger version“ (Loschek 1993). In Germany today certain clerics wear a very similar head covering, closely resembling the shape of Euonymus europaeus fruits. While I never intended to get as closely involved with this genus, the very attractive nature of the fruits and seeds captivated me, and led me to produce this work. Prior to turning to the fruits of woody broadleaves, I primarily studied the winter buds and twigs of deciduous trees and shrubs (Schulz 1999, 2004, 2006b), a subject which was then little published, apart from the works by Schneider (1903) and Trelease (1931).
