In both species, flowering is continuous. This means that, when open flowers on a spike are shaded, new flowers emerge. Such a flowering pattern might be advantageous to the plant to minimise competition for pollinators and promote efficient resource allocation. The flowering periods of the two species overlap. Both species secreted increasing amounts of nectar from early morning to late afternoon. The mean maximum volumes of accumulated nectar from bagged flowers occurred at 15:00 for L. pubescens (0.50 ± 0.24 µL/flower) and at 18:00 for L. dentata (0.68 ± 0.19 µL/flower). The volume of the nectar that became available between two successive measurements (three-h intervals) varied from 0.04 µL/flower to 0.28 µL/flower for L.

Abstract Patterns of flammability across the vascular plant phylogeny, with special emphasis on the genus Dracophyllum by Xinglei Cui Fire has been part of the environment for the entire history of terrestrial plants and is a common disturbance agent in many ecosystems across the world. Fire has a significant role in influencing the structure, pattern and function of many ecosystems. Plant flammability, which is the ability of a plant to burn and sustain a flame, is an important driver of fire in terrestrial ecosystems and thus has a fundamental role in ecosystem dynamics and species evolution. However, the factors that have influenced the evolution of flammability remain unclear.

Vasingtona bb, Podgorica Summary. This study investigates chemical composition and antimicrobial activity of essential oil of Lavandula officinalis from Montenegro, Mediterranean, and effects on autonomic nervous system. The oil was analysed by GC-MS technique in order to determine the majority compounds while dilution method was used to determine minimal inhibitory concentration. The present study assessed autonomic parameters such as blood pressure, heart rate, and skin temperature to determine the arousal level of the autonomic nervous system. In addition, subjects were asked to estimate their mood responses such as feeling pleasant or unpleasant, uncomfortable, sen- suality, relaxation, or refreshing in order to assess subjective behavioural arousal. Chemical analysis by GC-MS identified 31 compounds in lavender oil representing 96.88% of the total oil. Linalool (24.84%), was a major component, together with linalyl acetate (22.39%), 1,8 cineole (18.13%) and camphor (12.88%). The investigat- ed lavender oil consisted mostly of oxygenated monoterpenes (87.95%) and monoterpene hydrocarbons (7%).

Numerous cultivars are currently available, including several modern ones that do not set seeds (e.g. 'Avonview', 'Fairy Wings', 'Pukehou', 'Merle', 'Kew Red', 'Marshwood' and 'Ploughman's Purple'). Many of these cultivars are actually hybrids involving this and other Lavandula species. Habitat A weed of pastures, open woodlands, roadsides, disturbed sites, gardens, waste areas and waterways mainly in the temperate regions of Australia. Distinguishing Features . a low-growing shrub less than 1 m tall. its stems are square in cross-section and densely covered in greyish hairs. its long and narrow leaves are oppositely arranged, stalkless, and have their margins curved downwards.

The aims of the present study were to characterize the morphology of L. dentata grown in Paraíba do Sul, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and determine the content and chemical composition of its essential oil. Morphology of the plant was determined using the optical microscope, digital calliper and measuring tape. The fresh plant material characteristics consisting of the branches, leaves, and inflorescence were described. The essential oil was obtained by hydrodistillation and analyses chemical characteristics were performed by gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Our study shows a large number of non-glandular trichomes were identified, as well as two types of glandular trichomes, including capitate and peltate glandular trichomes. This work achieved high essential oil content which were related to vegetable biomass.
