'T'HE London Botanic Garden is lituated very near the Magdalen-Hofpital, St. George s- Fieldsy in the road from the faid hofpital to Weft- Marfh ninfler-Bridge ‘Turnpike , through Lambeth village. Its fituation being low, renders it peculiarly favourable to the growth of aquatic and bog plants, and all fuch as love a moift bottom, an ia- cflimable advantage in dry fummers.

Providence in his unerring wifdom, having al- lotted to mankind different capacities, and implant- ed in them propenfities to particular purfuits; fo that what is matter of the greateft fatisfaftion to one, fhall be perfectly infipid to another, it is no wonder that they fliould differ fo widely in the apprehended utility of their rcfpe&ive employ- ments ; each from a principle predominant in the human mind, being willing to think his own of the greateft importance ; and fo ftrongly is this idea imprefled on the minds of feme, as to betray them into a narrownefs of thinking, inconfiflent with that liberality of fentiment, which would excite a wifli for the univerfal increafe of fcience, when conne&ed, even in the remoteft degree, with the mterefts of mankind. 10 Without derogating then in the leaft from the utility of ocher arts, I fhali, in a few words, en- deavour to point out the advantages of Botany, a fcience whichthis defign is particularly intended to promote. Among all the {lndies which engage mankind, few are attended with ciroumftances equally pleafmg in their purfuit j few can boaft that infinite va- riety of objccls which are perpetually engaging our attention, and inviting us to partake of plca- ;A i'ures equally rational and innocent . It is a fcience which has been cultivated by the wifeft ot mankind, and particularly by the mofc diftinguifhed profefibrs of the medical art.-I—Here,, —Here,,1 as philosophers, we may admire, and contemplate the beautiful works of an Almighty Being; what an infinite difplay of wifdom is obfervable in the different modes of the growth, and propagation of MtLTON deferibes-oyr firft parents recreating them(elves with a kindred employment. t£ Awake, the morning Jhines, and the frefit field « Calls us, -we life the prime, to -mark how Jpritig “ Our tender plants, how Hows the citron grove, **■ ifhat drops the myrrh, and what the lalmy reed." II plants 1 what care is taken In perpetuating the fuc- ceffion of each Ipecies! how admirably are they adapted to grow in every different foil, and fitua- tion, fo as to leave no part of the globe, not even rocks and ftones uncovered ! with what regular or- der, and in what conftant fucceffion, do they flower and produce their feeds ! In fhort, a perfon of an inquifitive, or contemplative turn will find in plants an endlefs fource of innocent delight ; another world, as it were, opens to his view, he beholas the face of nature through a new medium of vifion, and has the fuperior pleafure of being able to read in that book which to the generality of mankind is a mere blank. The importance of this faience -as a branch of medical knowledge is happily exprefTsd by the late ingenious Dr. Gregory, the ornament of his pio- his feffion, and I may add of human nature ; in advice to the young Phyfician, he thus delivers his “ botany is fentiments on this head : The fcience of fuhjervtent to the pr aElies of phyjic as far as it facili- -11 fates them, into the knowledge of plants , by reducing l< moft commodious and perfectfyfcm ; and although it is not necejjary to be particularly acquainted with toe to name and hi[lory oftvery plant) yet every one ought e‘ be fo well founded in the principles of botany as to be “ able to its place to it fnd in the Jyfiern, and deftribe “ fc'untif tally : and we ought to be particU- u EARLY ACQUAINTED WITH EVERY MATE' <c RIAL CIRCUMSTANCE RELATIVE TO THOSE 6C PLANTS WHICH ARE USED IN DIET OR ME* “ DICINE.” ' It is however, much to be regretted, that this fcience is lb little attended to by gentlemen of the faculty in this country, as it obliges them to de- pend on the ikill of the ignorant, and illiterate, for many of their efficacious officinal plants, fre- quently at the expence of their own characters, and of all that is valuable to their patients. Although newly difeovered chemical remedies and foreign drugs, may have jullly fuperfeded many ol our Englifli plants, yet a great number are ftill retained in our Pharmacopoea, and many poffefs veiy poifonous qualities; to be acquainted with thefe at leaf!., is the duty of every one, that takes on himielf the important character of guardian of the healths of mankind. - hut it is not to phylic alone, that botany is lub- fervient, perhaps it may be applied with as much *3 advantage to agriculture, as to any other fcience. In this enlightened age, when arts and fciences are carried to a pitch unthought of in former times, we might expe£t a nation celebrated not lefs for its arts, than its arms, would be the firft to promote a fcience, whofe improvements are the only folid check to the baneful, and enervating effe£fs of luxury, and diffipatlon ; and accordingly we find many of our nobility, gentlemen of landed property, and public focieties, fully aware of its importance, and endeavouring by premiums, and a variety of other means, to improve it; much howeverftill remains to be done, nor is it probable that their endeavours will be crowned with fuc- cefs, ’till botany is more cultivated, and plants, particularly the graffes, better underftood. How incapable moft of our modern writers on agriculture are of communicating their dlfcoveries O c -7 much for want of botanic information ; and how the progrefs of this moft ufeful fcience is thereby retarded, muft be obvious to all thofe who have perufed their writings with any degree of at- tention. I am inclined to fnppofe, that this inattention of the faculty and others to botany, proceeds in a great meafure from a want of opportunity to ac- quire it, and that if the means were afforded, there would no longer be caufc of complaint or •cenlure. To afford the means of obtaining this know- ledge is the objeCt of the prefent inftitution—an inftitution which has been attended with con- liderable expence, and coft the author much time and attention, (hould he have the pleating fatis- faClion of feeing it become productive of national utility, that time he fhall think ufefully employ- ed and that attention molt happily bellowed. The more effectually to fuccecd in promoting the knowledge previoutly recommended, as fo elfential to the interefts of individuals, and the community at large, he has felcCted from the boundlefs field of vegetable productions, certain claffes of plants, univerfally acknowledged to l>c either the molt ufeful, or the moft neceflary to he known; by which means the ftudent’s attention is more immediately directed to the objeCts of his , purfuit, thefe are the medicinal culinary, polfunous, agricultural and hritijh plants, all of which claffcs are kept in fepavatc and dijiindi auartcrss exprefs’d *5 in the plan-of the garden ;to thefe are added two other quarters, the one containing Inch plants as- are calculated to inftruft the fludent in the prin- ciples of the Linncean fyftem, being living ex- amples of mod: of his dalles and orders, the other furnifhed with hardy, ornamental flowers and Hirubs, chiefly exotic, and cultivated in the gar- dens of the curious.

  • Tuberaria Guttata (L.) Fourr
    Tuberaria guttata (L.) Fourr Spotted Rock-rose Tuberaria guttata flowers from May to June and is best searched for on warm and sunny mornings when the bright yellow, purple- blotched petals open widely and are readily visible. Populations are known from northern Wales, western and south-western Ireland, the Channel Islands and western Scotland, although there are doubts about its provenance at the sole Scottish locality. It occurs at coastal locations in exposed, well-drained rocky outcrops on moderately acidic shallow peats, typically where there is sparse vegetation cover, making populations particularly vulnerable to the encroachment of more competitive vegetation. It is assessed as Near Threatened in Britain, but is of Least Concern in Wales. ©Joh n Crellin IDENTIFICATION HABITATS In flower T. guttata is unmistakable, with bright yellow petals In Britain and Ireland T. guttata grows on exposed rocky that have purple blotches and opposite leaves that are three- outcrops in bare open stony or peaty patches amongst species- v eined and turn reddish with age. Plants are variable in size, poor Calluna vulgaris-Scilla verna and C. vulgaris-Erica ranging from solitary flowers on short stems (1-2 cm) in cinerea heathland (NVC H7, H10), and more rarely Festuca exposed sites to much taller (to 20 cm) branched stems with ovina-Agrostis capillaris-Galium saxatile (NVC U4d) multiple flowers in more sheltered localities. grassland. Tuberaria guttata tends to be concentrated where there is a SIMILAR SPECIES sparse cov er of grasses, ericaceous shrubs and other small herbs, and often grows in a thin carpet of mosses and lichens.

Everyone was determined to make the most of sunshine on the first day of what for many, was their first real trip out in almost 18 months. We headed straight out on the Lizard peninsula past Culdrose Naval station and through the pretty village of Gunwalloe, down to Church Cove. Every hedge was hazed navy blue with Bluebells and clouds of Cow Parsley brushed the van on the narrow lanes. In glorious late afternoon sunshine, we wandered out of the car park towards the cove. The Cornish hedges were covered in the glossy green leaves of Sea Beet (Beta maritima) interspersed with Danish Scurvygrass (Cochlearia danica) that was coming to the end of its flowering season. As we got nearer to the beach, one wall was covered from top to bottom with a blanket of Sea Sandwort (Honckenya peploides) in full flower. The cliffs were dotted with Common Scurvygrass (Cochlearia officinalis) and huge mounds of Thrift (Armeria maritima). Up on top of the cliffs we came across our first blue Spring Squills (Scilla verna).

  • Sites of Importance for Nature Conservation Wales Guidance (Pdf)
    Wildlife Sites Guidance Wales A Guide to Develop Local Wildlife Systems in Wales Wildlife Sites Guidance Wales A Guide to Develop Local Wildlife Systems in Wales Foreword The Welsh Assembly Government’s Environment Strategy for Wales, published in May 2006, pays tribute to the intrinsic value of biodiversity – ‘the variety of life on earth’. The Strategy acknowledges the role biodiversity plays, not only in many natural processes, but also in the direct and indirect economic, social, aesthetic, cultural and spiritual benefits that we derive from it. The Strategy also acknowledges that pressures brought about by our own actions and by other factors, such as climate change, have resulted in damage to the biodiversity of Wales and calls for a halt to this loss and for the implementation of measures to bring about a recovery. Local Wildlife Sites provide essential support between and around our internationally and nationally designated nature sites and thus aid our efforts to build a more resilient network for nature in Wales. The Wildlife Sites Guidance derives from the shared knowledge and experience of people and organisations throughout Wales and beyond and provides a common point of reference for the most effective selection of Local Wildlife Sites. I am grateful to the Wales Biodiversity Partnership for developing the Wildlife Sites Guidance. The contribution and co-operation of organisations and individuals across Wales are vital to achieving our biodiversity targets. I hope that you will find the Wildlife Sites Guidance a useful tool in the battle against biodiversity loss and that you will ensure that it is used to its full potential in order to derive maximum benefit for the vitally important and valuable nature in Wales.

  • 6230 Rhins of Galloway Flower Guide 200X110
    Flower Guide Identify clifftop flowers found on the Rhins of Galloway Coast Path This guide will help you identify 15 common seaside flowering plants found on cliffs along the Rhins of Galloway Coast Path. The more you look the more you will see so if a flower you discover does not match those in this guide then search the internet or a seashore nature book to help identify your find. This flower guide has been produced as part of the Rhins of Galloway Coast Path project managed by Dumfries and Galloway Council. Wild Thyme Cover: Sheep’s-bit on clifftop How to use this guide Where the land meets the sea is always a demanding place for plants to survive because they must cope with a combination of wind, salt and lack of soil. Bare rock faces are particularly exposed to extremes of weather making clifftops even more precarious. Many flowering plants have adapted to tolerate harsh conditions and flourish in places where larger less tolerant plants struggle to survive. The guide identifies the best time of year and sections of the walk to see each flower. Compare your find with the pictures in this guide; although the shape and colour may vary, the pictures show distinctive features which will help you identify what you have found. English Stonecrop Spring Squill Scilla verna Looks: This low growing plant has a cluster of starry blue flowers on short upright stems which appear in the spring. Found:On exposed areas of short, dry, grassy areas, it often forms large colonies 1 which brings a violet-bluish haze to the clifftops.
