Here we found our first flowers, the extremely common Autumn Squill Prospero autumnale, the striped, hooded spathes of Friar’s Cowl Arisarum vulgare, and a number of Crocus mazziaricus. A few butterflies included Long-tailed Blue, Lang’s Short-tailed Blue, Eastern Bath White, Mallow Skipper and a Pigmy Skipper. We continued along the newly-completed coast road, before turning inland and climbing steeply into the mountains. We arrived in Kalavrita around 6pm and after settling in to our hotel, we enjoyed a delicious meal of home-cooked food at a nearby taverna. Day 2 Thursday 25th October We awoke to a sunny day with cloud over the mountains. Above Kalavrita, we explored an area of Kermes Oak scrub and open pasture, where we found more white Crocus mazziaricus and Crocus melantherus. Crocus melantherus, as its name suggests can be distinguished from other autumn-flowering species by its black anthers and purple feathering on the outer tepals. Cyclamen hederifolium was common under the shade of the trees.

Ker-Gawl. ex Accepted : June 15, 2021 Spreng. and Allium stylosum O.Schwarz were investigated. In order to determine the anthelmintic activity, the time elapsed for the duration of paralysis and death was Keywords determined after the extracts of different concentrations (10, 20 and 30 mg/mL) were added to the Tubifex tubifex in petri dishes. Each concentration of A. stylosum aerial Ornithogalum nutans, and underground parts extracts showed high anthelmintic activity. In addition, aerial Sternbergia lutea, extract of O. nutans at a concentration of 30 mg/mL showed high anthelmintic Allium stylosum, activity. A. stylosum extracts showed a higher activity than the standard anthelmintic Artemia salina, drug. The toxic activity was determined against Artemia salina with brine shrimp Anthelmintic activity lethality test. Among all extracts, the underground extract of S. lutea showed the highest activity with 0.002 mg/mL, LC50, the aerial extract of O. nutans showed the lowest activity with 0.03 mg/mL, LC50.

    • STUDY ON GROWTH, DEVELOPMENT AND SOME BIOCHEMICAL ASPECTS OF SEVERAL VARIETIES OF Nerine by KUMALA DEWI partia,1 Submitted in,fulfilment of the requirements for the A degree of Master of Science Studies Department of Plant Science University of Tasmania May, 1993 DECLARATION To the best of my knowledge and belief, this thesis contains no material which has been submitted for the award of any other degree or diploma, nor does it contain any paraphrase of previously published material except where due reference is made in the text. Kumala Dewi ii ABSTRACT Nerine fothergillii bulbs were stored at different temperatures for a certain period of time and then planted and grown in an open condition. The effect of the different storage temperatures on carbohydrate -; content and endogenous gibberellins w Ct,5 examined in relation to flowering. Flowering percentage and flower number in each umbel was reduced when the bulbs were stored at 300 C while bulbs which received 50 C treatment possess earlier flowering and longer flower stalksthan bulbs without 5 0 C storage treatment. Carbohydrates in both outer and inner scales of N. fothergillii were examined semi-quantitatively by paper chromatography. Glucose, fructose and sucrose have been identified from paper chromatogramS. Endogenous gibberellins in N. fothergillii have been identified by GC - SIM and full mass spectra from GCMS. These include GA19, GA20 and G Al, their presence suggests the occurence of the early 13 - hydroxylation pathway. The response of N. bowdenii grown under Long Day (LD) and Short Day (SD) conditions w as studied. Ten plants from each treatment were examined at intervalsof 4 weeks.

  • A Morphometric Study of Species Delimitation in Sternbergia Lutea (Alliaceae, Amaryllidoideae) and Its Allies S
    Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 2008, 158, 460–469. With 5 figures A morphometric study of species delimitation in Sternbergia lutea (Alliaceae, Amaryllidoideae) and its allies S. sicula and S. greuteriana EWAN GAGE1,2 and PAUL WILKIN2* FLS 1Plant Science Laboratories, The University of Reading, Whiteknights, Reading, Berkshire RG6 6AS, UK 2Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Richmond, Surrey TW9 3AB, UK Received 22 October 2007; accepted for publication 13 May 2008 The morphological chararacters used to differentiate the species Sternbergia lutea (L.) Ker Gawl. ex Spreng., Sternbergia sicula Tineo ex Guss. and Sternbergia greuteriana Kamari & R.Artelari were found not to possess discrete or consistently different states during an attempt to produce an electronic multi-access key to the genus. Thus, variation in floral and leaf morphology in the three species was further explored to re-evaluate taxon limits using herbarium specimens and statistical methods, including principal components analysis (PCA) and elliptic Fourier analysis (EFA). This confirmed that variation was continuous between the three species. Sternbergia sicula and S. greuteriana are sunk into S. lutea and a revised description provided. It is suggested that cultivar status is the most appropriate rank for the cultivated forms of the S. lutea complex. © 2008 The Linnean Society of London, Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 2008, 158, 460–469.

  • Srgc Bulb Log Diary
    SRGC ----- Bulb Log Diary ----- ISSN 2514-6114 Pictures and text © Ian Young BULB LOG 40................................4th October 2017 Rhododendron leaves Nothing is more characteristic of autumn than the leaves as they turn yellow, red and bright orange often with splashes of green still visible when you view them against the light as captured in the cover image of Hamamelis leaves. Photographed into the sun, exposed to retain the deep blue skies and using a small aperture which achieves the star effect of the sun. Shafts of light from the low sun passing through the trees and shrubs greatly adds to the drama of the season by picking out and highlighting colours creating striking effects of light and shade. Rhododendron leaves(above) also take on autumn colours as they come towards the end of their life then fall off – it is just that instead of lasting for a single growing season each Rhododendron leaf can last one or two years before it is shed so the shrub is never without leaves. There are some Rhododendrons that are deciduous, losing all their leaves every year, most of these are what we used to know as Azalea before they were sunk into Rhododendron. Crocus have a habit of getting everywhere in our garden as you may notice in this picture where a lone Crocus nudiflorus has made its way into the bonsai pot. The spotlight effect of a shaft of sunlight picks out Colchicum agrippinum and Crocus speciosus flowers growing through the fine foliage of Geranium robertianum with further colourful highlights provided by the leaves fallen from the Hamamelis, seen above and on the cover.

  • David Domoneys Complete Guide to Seeds and Bulbs
    Do David money’s COMPLETE GUIDE To bs Seeds and Bul Let’s begin at the beginning Knowing where plants come from and how they grow is important if you want to grow strong, healthy plants. Understanding seeds and bulbs will help you become a better gardener. What’s in this guide? First we will look at seeds and the different techniques for sowing them indoors and directly outside. We will also explore how to care for seedlings, plus the right ways to collect and store seeds from your plants. In the second part, we will talk about the different types of bulbs, how to plant them and the best ways to create year-round displays. Seeds Growing your own plants from seed is always exciting. Seeing them develop into new plants is very rewarding, and it’s a cost-effective way to add to your garden. What are seeds? A seed is the unit of reproduction for most plants. It contains all the genetic information needed to create an entirely new plant, plus a nutrient store to help it get started. So many types of plants can be grown from seed, from herbs and vegetables to annual and perennial flowering species. Most seeds need warmth and moisture to germinate, but some need bright light or a cooler environment to get started. Others require soaking before sowing. There will be full instructions on the seed packet, but here I will show you a few general tips to help you get started. Find more guides at davidomoney.com Sowing outdoors Some seeds can be sown directly into the ground where you want them to grow.

  • Nerine Bowdenii Final Trials Report 2012–2017
    Nerine bowdenii Final Trials Report 2012–2017 Trials Office, RHS Garden Wisley, Woking, Surrey, GU23 6QB RHS Registered Charity No: 222879 / SC038262 RHS Trial of Nerine bowdenii Introduction to the Trial The genus Nerine contains 25 species, most well known of which is the Guernsey lily (N. sarniensis) a greenhouse plant. All the species occur in southern Africa but only a very few are truly hardy in the UK. Since its introduction to cultivation in 1898 N. bowdenii has become widely grown in gardens and a diverse range of forms has been developed, either by selection or hybridisation. The scale of this diversity was revealed by the Hardy Nerine Study Day in October 2007. From that point onwards the idea of a trial grew, mainly through the efforts of the then National Plant Collection holder for hardy nerines, Mrs Margaret Owen. The trial agreed was an RHS off-site trial, run jointly by the RHS and the Nerine and Amaryllid Society (NAAS). Two sites were chosen to test the hardiness of the entries: one in the north (The Patch, Acton Pigott, Shropshire – site of the then National Plant Collection) and one in the south (Bramdean House, Bramdean, Hampshire – site of an extensive collection of nerines owned by Mrs Victoria Wakefield). Although the intention was to have entries in common to both sites to allow proper comparison, the difficult process of putting the trial together meant that not all the entries were grown at both sites. A particular challenge for the trial was the fact that many of the entries were not named or not properly named as cultivars.
