  • Small Space Vegetable Flower Container Gardening.Pub
    CORNELL COOPERATIVE EXTENSION OF ONEIDA COUNTY 121 Second Street Oriskany, NY 13424-9799 (315) 736-3394 or (315) 337-2531 FAX: (315) 736-2580 An unadorned patio, deck, or balcony is a tantalizing invitation to garden in containers. Each summer, visitors to Cornell Plantations marvel at the colorful spectacle of container plant- ings assembled around the Lewis Education Center. The bold, sometimes flamboyant flowers and foliage evoke a sense of the tropics and mirror our warm summers. Container garden- ing is gaining popularity for small spaces, and as a way to ac- cent existing gardens. Selecting a container Virtually anything that will hold water is a candidate for con- tainer growing. From a bag of soil with holes punched for planting and drainage to wooden tubs, old riding boots, milk cans, hanging baskets and fancy ornamental pots. You can choose the size, shape and cost to fit your needs and desires. The deeper the pot the less watering it will need. Pots with a small soil volume will dry out faster and require more frequent watering. Unlike plants in the ground, plants in pots or hang- ing baskets in the yard, on the deck or on the windowsill are exposed on all sides to the drying effects of wind and sun. On hot, windy days you may have to water them more than once. Darker colored containers will absorb more heat, which can get seeds and transplants off to a faster start, but these con- tainers will need more watering if they are in direct sunlight. Lighter colored containers may be better for most gardeners.

  • A Taxonomic Survey of Lotus Section Pedrosia (Leguminosae, Loteae) Graeme Sandral, Margarita V
    © Landesmuseum für Kärnten; download www.landesmuseum.ktn.gv.at/wulfenia; www.biologiezentrum.at Wulfenia 13 (2006): 97–192 Mitteilungen des Kärntner Botanikzentrums Klagenfurt A taxonomic survey of Lotus section Pedrosia (Leguminosae, Loteae) Graeme Sandral, Margarita V. Remizowa & Dmitry D. Sokoloff Summary: A taxonomic review of the section Pedrosia (excl. sect. Rhyncholotus) is presented. Members of the section occur in the Macaronesian Islands, north-western part of Africa and in the Mediterranean region. Centers of diversity are Canary Islands, Cape Verde, Madeira and Morocco. Twenty nine species of the section are recognized; their diagnostic characters are discussed and extensively illustrated. An identifi cation key to species of the section is given as well as morphological descriptions of species and subspecies. Leaf morphology was found to be a particularly useful character in species discrimination. Many species are quite variable, and their identifi cation is only possible using a suite of several characters. Furthermore, various morphological characters have different taxonomic weight in different regions (e.g. Cape Verde and Morocco). The following taxonomic decisions are adopted: (1) Lotus azoricus is synonymous with L . argyrodes; (2) L . tenellus is accepted as a species distinct from L . glaucus, with an area covering Tenerife and Gran Canaria; (3) all material examined from Hierro (Canary Islands) is identifi ed asL . sessilifolius; (4) L . hillebrandii is treated as a subspecies of L . campylocladus; (5) L . spartioides is synonymous with L . holosericus. Representatives of the section Pedrosia from Lanzarote and Fuerteventura are closer to those from Madeira than to plants from other Canary Islands. Keywords: Fabaceae, Leguminosae, Loteae, Lotus, Pedrosia, taxonomy, determination key, typifi cation, comb.

The consideration of both these characterisation domains allows the definition of a homogeneous system of reference (the stable characteristics) with which every possible land use pattern can be compared through the use of common evaluation algorithms.

  • Bird–Flower Interactions in the Macaronesian Islands
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Digital.CSIC RIGINA L Bird–flower interactions in the ARTICLE Macaronesian islands Alfredo Valido*, Yoko L. Dupont and Jens M. Olesen Department of Ecology and Genetics, ABSTRACT University of Aarhus, Aarhus C, Denmark Aims Several bird-pollinated or ornithophilous flowers are present on the Macaronesian archipelagos, the Canary Islands and Madeira, but absent from nearby NW Africa and Europe. In Macaronesia, no specialist nectar-feeding birds are found, but several generalist passerine bird species visit flowers for nectar. Two hypotheses attempt to explain the origin and evolution of ornithophily in the Macaronesian flora. According to ‘the island de novo hypothesis’, bird-flowers evolved from mainland insect-pollinated ancestors after island colonization. Alternatively, ancestors of the ornithophilous Macaronesian plant species evolved bird-flowers before reaching the islands (‘the relict hypothesis’). In this study we first compile information of Macaronesian bird–flower interactions from the literature and our own field observations. Secondly, we discuss the two hypotheses of origin of ornithophily in the light of evidence from recent molecular plant phylogenies, palaeontology, historical biogeography of the African avifauna and flora, and present-day ecological patterns. Location Madeira and Canary Islands. Results At least eleven endemic Macaronesian plant species from six genera have typical ornithophilous floral traits. These genera are: Canarina and Musschia (Campanulaceae), Isoplexis (Scrophulariaceae), Echium (Boraginaceae), Lotus (Fabaceae) and Lavatera (Malvaceae). These lineages have clear affinities to the Mediterranean region, except for Canarina whose closest relatives grow in East African mountains. Six generalist passerine bird species of Sylvia, Phylloscopus (Sylviidae), Serinus (Fringillidae) and Parus (Paridae) visit this flora for nectar.

  • The Importance of Generalist Pollinator Complexes for Endangered Island Endemic Plants
    Arquipelago - Life and Marine Sciences ISSN: 0873-4704 The importance of generalist pollinator complexes for endangered island endemic plants JULIE A. WEISSMANN & HANNO SCHAEFER Weissmann, J.A. & H. Schaefer 2017. The importance of generalist pollinator complexes for endangered island endemic plants. Arquipelago. Life and Marine Sciences 35: 23-40. To investigate whether endangered endemic plants of the Azores are threatened by pollinator limitation, we studied the insect pollinator communities of Azorina vidalii, Euphrasia azorica, Myosotis azorica and Solidago azorica on Corvo Island. We found no evidence for dependence on a specialised pollinator. Instead, we found five to 21 mostly generalist insect pollinators per plant species, six of them probably introduced species. Diptera, with at least 12 species, and Hymenoptera, with at least nine species, are the most important insect orders and also most important in visitation frequency. The relatively high pollinator diversity for each of the studied plants and the high proportion of generalists indicate that the pollination networks of the four study plant species are rather resilient, i.e. the loss of a species would not constitute an immediate threat. Seed counts and numbers of juvenile plants indicate that reproductive success of all four species is stable. Altogether, our results suggest that there is no pollinator limitation in the four study species. Conservation measures should therefore focus on other threats, on Corvo mainly on grazing pressure. Key words: generalist pollinators, island endemic plants, pollinator limitation, pollinator networks. Julie A.
