Aanvullingen en wijzigingen verschenen in volgende jaarboeken (HENSEN, 1959 en 1963). Sedert de tekst van het laatste artikel geschreven werd, heeft opnieuw een aantal planten voor het eerst gebloeid en vrucht gedragen, zodat determinatie mogelijk werd. Van enige andere, reeds eerder in deze publikaties opgenomen planten werd de determinatie herzien. Deze aanvul­ lingen en wijzigingen van de vorige publikaties worden in dit artikel gepubliceerd. Aan­ gezien niet alle lezers van "Dendroflora" ook de Jaarboeken van de Nederlandse Dendrolo­ gische Vereniging ter beschikking zullen hebben, wordt aan het einde van dit artikel een lijst gegeven van alle taxa r), waarvan gedetermineerde planten in de Wageningense col­ lectie aanwezig zijn. De namen van soorten, variëteiten, apomicten of in het wild voorkomende hybriden worden gevolgd door de auteursnaam en een verwijzing naar de eerste publikatie van de naam. Deze wijziging bestaat uit de afgekorte titel, ev. het nummer van een boekdeel of jaargang van een tijdschrift, daarna de bladzijde en tenslotte het jaar van verschijnen.

Sorbus graeca (SPACH) KOTSCHY wird von drei Standorten im Thayatal sowohl im mährischen als auch im österreichischen Teil gemeldet. Die Funde werden kurz kommentiert. Grundlegende Daten zur Morphologie und Variation, zu den Verwandtschaftsverhältnissen, zur Ökologie, geographischen Verbreitung, Phytozönologie und ökobiologie anderer Sorbus-Arten, die kürzlich im selben Gebiet beobachtet wurden (S. aria [L.] CRANTZ, S. torminalis [L.] CRANTZ und S. aucuparia L.), werden ebenfalls mitgeteilt. Keywords: Sorbus, Southwest Moravia, Lower Austria, morphology, variation, relationships, ecology, geographical distribution, phytocenology, ecobiology. Introduction Southwest Moravia and, in particular, the Dyje (Thaya) valley, proved a rewarding terrain in terms of Sorbus diversity. A survey initiated in 1990 detected two new species and two species not previously reported from the area (KOVANDA 1996). Continuing investigation yielded one more species, S. graeca (SPACH) KOTSCHY, not previously recorded as occurring in either the Moravian or the Austrian parts of the valley.

  • Forest Vegetation of Georgia 6
    Forest Vegetation of Georgia 6 Forest is the prevailing type of vegetation in Georgia. The forest area makes up 36.7 % of the country’s total land area. During the Holocene, when the climatic conditions were similar to those of nowadays, the entire territory of Georgia was occupied by forests. Very surpris- ingly, today beech (Fagus orientalis) occupies a dominating position, namely 51 % of the total forest area. The following species are further dominants of Georgian forests: Abies nordmanniana (8.5 % of the forest-coverage). Quercus iberica and other representatives of Quercus (10.5 %), Picea orientalis (6.3 %), Pinus kochiana (3.6 %), Alnus barbata (3 %), Castanea sativa (2.1 %), Betula litwinowi and other Betula species (c. 2 %). Negligible areas are covered by Carpinus caucasica, Tilia begoniifolia, Acer platanoides, A. trautvetteri, Fraxinus excelsior, etc. (Dolukhanov 2010). As it was pointed out, the plains and mountain slopes in West Georgia are covered by forests from the very sea level, while lowland woods in the eastern part of the country are peculiar for riversides. At the same time, the plateau of Javakheti Upland (South Georgia) is absolutely devoid of forests. Located in the eastern (E, SE, NE) portion of the Black Sea catchment basin the climate of the Colchis region is characterized as having moderately warm (24–25 C summers and cool 4–6 C winters) with abundant annual precipitation (1,800–2,200 mm up to 4,500 mm). Colchic forests like Hyrcan forests (Azerbaijan, Iran) are the most important relicts of the Arcto-Tertiary forests in western Eurasia with many relict and endemic plants and rare fauna.

(2012): Red List of vascular plants of the Czech Republic: 3rd edition. – Preslia 84: 631–645. The knowledge of the flora of the Czech Republic has substantially improved since the second ver- sion of the national Red List was published, mainly due to large-scale field recording during the last decade and the resulting large national databases. In this paper, an updated Red List is presented and compared with the previous editions of 1979 and 2000. The complete updated Red List consists of 1720 taxa (listed in Electronic Appendix 1), accounting for more then a half (59.2%) of the native flora of the Czech Republic. Of the Red-Listed taxa, 156 (9.1% of the total number on the list) are in the A categories, which include taxa that have vanished from the flora or are not known to occur at present, 471 (27.4%) are classified as critically threatened, 357 (20.8%) as threatened and 356 (20.7%) as endangered. From 1979 to 2000 to 2012, there has been an increase in the total number of taxa included in the Red List (from 1190 to 1627 to 1720) and in most categories, mainly for the following reasons: (i) The continuing human pressure on many natural and semi-natural habitats is reflected in the increased vulnerability or level of threat to many vascular plants; some vulnerable species therefore became endangered, those endangered critically threatened, while species until recently not classified may be included in the Red List as vulnerable or even endangered.

The description of all Czech species including the most common introduced and cultivated species and hybrids is presented including their distribution, ecology and habitat requirements. The principal attention has been paid not only to the main easier identifiable species but all the minor, rare and endemic species, which are difficult to identify are also attached for people with deeper interest. The determination of species is based especially on traits on the leaves. Also other complementary traits e.g. on fruits, flowers and bark, if necessary, are mentioned as well. For winter time determination of the basic species the traits on the buds are added.

  • Some Noteworthy Collections of Flowering Plants in Cyprus in the Years
    Cypricola 9: 1–9. 8-Nov-2018 Beta lomatogona, a new addition to the flora of Cyprus Charalambos S. Christodoulou & Karl Peter Buttler Abstract. – Beta lomatogona is recorded in Cyprus for the first time. A morphological de- scription and information on its taxonomy, distribution and ecology, as well as floristic status are provided. It should be characterised as “Critically Endangered”. Addresses. – Charalambos S. Christodoulou, Department of Forests, Ministry of Agricul- ture, Rural Development and Environment, 26 Louki Akrita street, CY-1414 Lefkosia, Cyprus; [email protected]. – Karl Peter Buttler, Orber Straße 38, D-60386 Frankfurt am Main, Germany; [email protected] Introduction The genus Beta L., Patellifolia A. J. Scott & al. included, comprises at least ten species in four sections, however this uncertainty of being able to specify the exact number results from different taxonomic concepts. Traditionally, only one taxon of the genus, B. vulgaris subsp. maritima (L.) Arcang., has been accepted to occur in Cyprus, due to the fact that Meikle's (1985) treatment is based on a very broad view of the problem- atic group. Later, Letschert (1993) demonstrated that B. vulgaris s. l. in Cyprus consists of three taxa, namely B. vulgaris subsp. maritima, B. adanensis Pamukҫ. and B. macro- carpa Guss. and indeed their occurrence has been confirmed recently (Hand 2018). All these taxa belong to section Beta. In addition to the above-mentioned taxa, another beet species, B. lomatogona Fisch. & C. A. Mey., belonging to section Corollinae Ulbr. was found in a small streambed, at an altitude of 1665 m, in the Troodos National Forest Park, phytogeo- graphical division 2 (sensu Meikle 1977, 1985).

Chemotaxonornicky prehled agregatu Sorbus umbellata James Challice and Miloslav Kovanda CHALLICE J.1) et KovAKDA M.2) (1985): A chemotaxonomi~ survey of Sorbus umbellalll agg. - Preslia, Praha, 57 : 171-174. Specimens of Sorbus umbellata agg. have been surveyed, in greater detail, for the presence of the flavone C-glucoside vitexin in order to supplement a previous survey of European Sorbus. The results have shown that some of the specimens contain vitexin in the leaf, in a similar manner to the Asian specimens which were examined pre\·i­ ously. The presence or absence of vitexin does not however seem to follow a taxo ­ nomic pattern. 1 ) Long Ashton Research Station, University of Bristol, BS18 9AF, England. 2) Czechoslovak Academy of Sci'ences, Botanical Institute, 252 43 Prt1honice, Czech o­ slovakia. l?\TRODUCTION In a previous chemotaxonomic survey of European Sorbus (CRALLICE et KovANDA 1978) the one specimen of Sorbus umbellata (DESF.) FRITSCII and the two specimens of S. graeca (SPACH) KoTSCHY which were examined were found to lack flavone C-glycosides and flavone 0-glycosides in herbarium leaf samples. However, a subsequent survey of a number of Asian specimens of these species revealed that the flavone C-glucoside vitexin is present in 8/10 specimens of Asian S. umbellata (DESF.) FRITSCH and in 2/6 specimens of Asian S. graeca (SPACH) KoTSCHY (CHALLICE et KovANDA 1982). Most Asian species of Sorbus subg. Aria contain vitexin, in contrast with the European species of this subgenus. The Sorbus umbellata aggregate is basically south-west Asian, with some of its members extending as far as southern and central Europe.
