Balearic Vegetation Plant Formations in the Balearic BioProvince Peter Martin Rhind Balearic Evergreen Oak Forests Like much of the Mediterranean, the natural plant formation, is evergreen oak forest dominated by Quercus ilex (holm oak) although today Pinus halepensis (aleppo pine) is probably the most common tree on the islands. Other tree species include Arbutus unedo strawberry tree, while the shrub layer comprises Asparagus acutifolius, Daphne gnidium (Mediterranean mezereon), Erica arborea (tree heather), Phillyrea latifolia and the near endemic Rhamnus ludovici-salvatoris (Rhamnaceae). The ground layer includes another species, Cyclamen balearicum (Myrsinaceae), that was originally thought to be endemic, but this species has since been recorded in the south of France. Balearic Olive Woods The dominant tree here is Olea europaea var. silvestris (wild olive) and Ceratonia silique (carob). Typical shrubs include Cneorum tricoccon, Euphorbia dendroides (tree spurge), Ephedra fragilis (joint-pine) and Chamaerops humulis (dwarf fan palm) may also be present. Ground layer species typically include Arum pictum, Asparagus albus and A. stipularis. Balearic Rosemary Garrigue The main shrubs in this formation include Rosmarius officinalis (rosemary) and Erica multiflora. Rosemary can be found from sea level to the top of the highest mountain, but the endemic variety palaui is confined to the mountains. Other important shrubs include Anthyllus cytisoides, Globularia alypum, Lavendula dentata and the endemic Genista lucida (Fabaceae). Characteristic herbaceous species include Gladiolus illyricus and various ‘insect’ orchids such as Ophrys tenthredinifera sawfly orchid and O. bombylifera bumblebee orchid. Endemics include Smilax aspera var. balearica (Liliaceae). Balearic Mountain Garrigue Most Balearic endemics occur in this zone. The endemic shrubs Hypericum balearicum (Hypericaceae) or Teucrium subspinosum (Lamiaceae) are two of the most conspicuous species. Other endemics include Astragalus balearica (Fabaceae), Crocus cambessedesii (Iridaceae), Digitalis dubia (Scrophulariaceae), Helleborus foetidus var. balearicus (Ranunculaceae), Paeonia cambessedesii (Paeoniaceae), Pastinaca lucida (Apiaceae), Phlomis italica, Scutellaria balearica and Teucrium asiaticum (Lamiaceae) and Santolina chamaecyparissus subsp. magonica (Asteraceae). A common trait of Balearic endemics is the purple colour of under-leaf surfaces. Balearic Inland Cliffs and Mountain Rocks The calcareous cliffs of the Balearic BioProvince support a wealth of endemic species well protected from herbivorous browsers. These cliffside plants can be roughly divided into three communities characterized by the dominance of: 1 the endemic Hippocrepis balearica (Fabaceae), 2 the endemic Pimpinella tragium var. balearica (Apiaceae) and Potentilla caulescens, and 3 the endemic Sibthorpia africana (Scrophulariaceae) and Arenaria balearica. Despite its name the latter is not a Balearic endemic, but has a Tyrrhenian distribution. The endemic taxa found in one of more of these communities include Arenaria grandiflora var. glabrescens (Caryophyllaceae), Brassica balearica (Brassicaceae), Bupleurum barceloi (Apiaceae), Carex rorulenta (Cyperaceae), Crepis triasii, Helichrysum ambiguum (Asteraceae), Cephalaria sqamiflora subsp. balearica (Dipsacaceae), Erodium reichardii (Geraniaceae), Galium crespianum (Rubiaceae), Copyright © 2010 Peter Martin Rhind Globularia cambessedesii (Globulariaceae), Ilyex aquifolium form balearica (Aquifoliaceae), Lonicera pyrenaica subsp. majoricensis (Caprifoliaceae) and the fern Asplenium majoricum (Aspleniaceae). In the shadier, more humid parts of the mountains, where the soil is deeper and where snow tends to remain on the ground for long periods, the rare endemic white primrose Primula vulgaris subsp. balearica (Primulaceae) can be found, while on shady, usually north facing walls the endemic Viola jaubertiana (Violaceae) occurs. Majorca’s northwest mountain range provides habitat for a number of rare endemics including Aristolochia bianorii (Aristolochiaceae), Euphorbia fontqueriana and Euphorbia maresii (Euphorbiaceae) Genista acanthoclada subsp. balearica (Fabacaceae), Ligustrum lucidum subsp. huteri (Oleaceae), Pimpinella bicknelli (Apiaceae), Ranunculus wegleri (Ranunculacaceae), Thymus richardii subsp. richardii (Lamiaceae) and Urtica atrovirens subsp. bianorii (Urticaceae). In Minorca they include Apium bermejoi (Apiaceae), a species only discovered in 1981, Lysimachia minoricensis (Primulaceae) and Vicia bifoliolata (Fabaceae). Lysimachia minoricensis, was thought extinct, but recently re-discovered in various private gardens. Finally, noteworthy endemics or near endemics in the uplands of Ibiza include Carduncellus dianius (Asteraceae), Genista dorycnifolia (Fabaceae) and Silene hifacensis (Caryophyllaceae). The latter two appear to have a few localities on the Spanish mainland. Balearic Coastal Cliff Vegetation In terms of botanical interest the coastal cliffs of the Balearic Islands closely follows the mountain flora. On the seaward fringe, the maritime vegetation is characterized by the presence of Crithmum maritimum Rock Samphire and species of Limonium sea lavender. In the case of the latter there are over twenty species and almost half are endemic. The most maritime of the endemics is Limonium caprariense - other endemics include L. biflorum and L. majoricum (Plumbaginaceae). A little further inland, the endemic Launaea cervicornis (Asteraceae) usually becomes the main species. This is a spiny ‘pin cushion’ plant which occasionally shares this habitat with three other endemic ‘pin cushion’ species: Anthyllis fulgurans, A. hermanniae var. hystrix (Fabaceae) and Senecio rodriguezii (Asteraceae). Naufraga balearica is also confined to a small area of sea cliffs. The species (and genus) was originally thought to be endemic to this BioProvince, but in 1981 it was discovered in Corsica. In Minorca the endemic maritime shrubs Daphne rodriguezii (Thymelaeaceae) and Philyrea media var. rodriguezii (Oleaceae) occur in sheltered situations. Balearic Sand Dunes Balearic sand dunes are typical of much of the Mediterranean. On the foredunes Elytrigia juncea and Sporobolus pungens are the main sand binding grasses. Somewhat further inland on the mobile dunes Ammophila arenaria subsp. arundinacea becomes the main grass species. In the more stable dunes beyond the mobile dunes a scrub community dominated by Crucianella maritima often develops with species such as Helichryson stoechas, Pancratium maritima sea daffodil and Teucrium belion. A less common species of this zone is the endemic dwarf shrub Thymelaea myrtifolia (Thymelaeaceae). Further information required. References Bonner, A. 1985. Plants of the Balearic Islands.

At the airport we boarded our bus and drove the short distance to Mandria beach. Although it was already late afternoon in Cyprus, here we had a chance to stretch our legs, get some fresh air, feel the warmth of the Mediterranean sun and begin to explore the nature of Cyprus in winter. Amongst the coastal scrub at the back of the beach we noted some familiar Painted Lady butterflies and a flock of lovely Greenfinches that positively glowed in the low winter sun. The scrub was full of Stonechats and noisy Sardinian Warblers, a chattering call that would form the backdrop to our trip wherever we went. A Zitting Cisticola popped up briefly but our attention was drawn to the recently ploughed fields beyond the scrub.

Accepted 26 October, 2013 Importance of medicinal plants in traditional healthcare practices provides clues to new areas of research and biodiversity conservation is now well known. However, information on the use of plants for medicinal purpose is lacking from many tribal areas of Himachal Pradesh. Keeping this in view, the present study was undertaken in a tribal dominated area of Chamba district, to look for the diversity of plant resources, used by local people for curing various ailments. Questionnaire surveys, field visits and participatory observations were planned to collect information about the uses of various plants. It was found that 50 plant species are being commonly used by local people to cure 26 diseases. In most of the cases, leaves (40%) followed by roots (24%) were used to cure many health problems. New medicinal uses of Achyranthes bidentata , Cannabis sativa and Stellaria monosperma were also reported for the first time. Key words: Medicinal plants, Chamba district, Himachal Pradesh.

  • Methodological Approach to the Study of Archaeological Mortars and Plasters from Mediterranean Sites
    PLINIUS n. 40, 2014 METHODOLOGICAL APPROACH TO THE STUDY OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL MORTARS AND PLASTERS FROM MEDITERRANEAN SITES RAFFAELLA DE LUCA Dipartimento di Biologia, Ecologia e Scienze della Terra, Università della Calabria, Via P. Bucci, 87036 Arcavacata di Rende (CS) The archaeometric study of ancient mortars and plasters has recently seen substantial development. This type of approach has been particularly interesting in order to obtain information on the raw materials used for the mixtures of these materials, their provenience and the technological processes involved in their manufacture, and therefore to shed some light into different aspects related to past life and technology. At the same time, the archaeometric study of mortars and plasters provides information on the history of the buildings/monuments analyzed, identifying the constructive phases and/or the different manufactures (Bakolas et al., 1995; Vendrell-Saz et al., 1996; Franzini et al., 2000; Moropoulou et al., 2000, 2003; Crisci et al., 2001, 2004; Damiani et al., 2003; Meir et al., 2005; Silva et al., 2005; Riccardi et al., 2007; Pavía & Caro, 2008; Franquelo et al., 2008; Barba et al., 2009; Jackson et al., 2009; Miriello et al., 2010, 2011a, 2011b, 2013a, 2013b; Barca et al., 2013). The present work proposes a methodological approach to be followed for the archaeometric study of ancient mortars and plasters. The methodology is based on the characterization of the samples through the application of a series of diagnostic methods. The analytical techniques used are: optical microscopy in transmitted polarized light (OM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectroscopy microanalysis (SEM-EDS), image analysis by JMicroVision software, and methods of statistical multivariate analysis of the compositional data.

For this exceptional voyage we have selected four destinations that are especially fascinating examples of the complex history of the Mediterranean: Sicily, Sardinia, Corsica, and the Balearic Islands. This May, we would like you to join us on a private-style cruise to these delightful islands. The Carthaginians and the Greeks, the Romans and the Byzantines, the Arabs and the Normans all influenced the history and culture of Sicily. We’ll visit the magnificent Doric temple at Segesta, built by Greek colonists in 420 B.C., and explore the ancient town of Erice, dominated by a 12th-century Norman castle standing on the remains of a temple that tradition says was built by the Trojans. Sardinia is an especially remarkable island, with more than 7,000 prehistoric sites dating back nearly 4,000 years. We’ll explore the finest of these Nuraghic sites, as well as Alghero, an enchanting port town that for centuries was ruled by the kings of Aragon. To this day, many residents of Alghero speak the island’s Catalan dialect. The Balearic Islands are an archipelago off the northeast coast of Spain.

Ömer Şerif YILDIZ Filiz AYANOĞLU Nadire Pelin BAHADIRLI Mustafa Kemal Univ., Faculty of Agriculture, Field Crops Department, Hatay Abstract Two sarsaparilla species Smilax aspera L. and Smilax excelsa L. show natural distribution in Hatay flora. In the study, besides some phenological and morphological characteristics, antioxidant capacity and fixed oil contents and components of Smilax species collected from different locations were determined. The highest 100 fruit weight with 37.69 g was obtained from the sample of S. aspera L. species collected from Yayladagi 2 location and the highest 100 seed weight with 24.47 g from Yayladagi 1 location. In terms of antioxidant capacity of the leaves and fruits, insignificant differences were observed among the species and locations. The antioxidant capacities of leaves ranged 62.28 to 64.57 mmol.Fe+2/kg while fruit antioxidant capacities ranged from 63.91 to 66.31 mmol. Fe+2/kg. The highest value of seed fixed oil with 11.42% was obtained from the S. aspera L. sample collected in Yayladağı 3 location. Major fatty acid component was found as vaccenic acid in general for all samples. The highest content of vaccenic acid found as 37.50% from S. aspera seed samples of Yayladagi 2 location. As a result, the leaves and berries of smilax species could be considered as a significant natural antioxidant source.
