  • Wa Shan – Emei Shan, a Further Comparison
    photograph © Zhang Lin A rare view of Wa Shan almost minus its shroud of mist, viewed from the Abies fabri forested slopes of Emei Shan. At its far left the mist-filled Dadu River gorge drops to 500-600m. To its right the 3048m high peak of Mao Kou Shan climbed by Ernest Wilson on 3 July 1903. “As seen from the top of Mount Omei, it resembles a huge Noah’s Ark, broadside on, perched high up amongst the clouds” (Wilson 1913, describing Wa Shan floating in the proverbial ‘sea of clouds’). Wa Shan – Emei Shan, a further comparison CHRIS CALLAGHAN of the Australian Bicentennial Arboretum 72 updates his woody plants comparison of Wa Shan and its sister mountain, World Heritage-listed Emei Shan, finding Wa Shan to be deserving of recognition as one of the planet’s top hotspots for biological diversity. The founding fathers of modern day botany in China all trained at western institutions in Europe and America during the early decades of last century. In particular, a number of these eminent Chinese botanists, Qian Songshu (Prof. S. S. Chien), Hu Xiansu (Dr H. H. Hu of Metasequoia fame), Chen Huanyong (Prof. W. Y. Chun, lead author of Cathaya argyrophylla), Zhong Xinxuan (Prof. H. H. Chung) and Prof. Yung Chen, undertook their training at various institutions at Harvard University between 1916 and 1926 before returning home to estab- lish the initial Chinese botanical research institutions, initiate botanical exploration and create the earliest botanical gardens of China (Li 1944). It is not too much to expect that at least some of them would have had personal encounters with Ernest ‘Chinese’ Wilson who was stationed at the Arnold Arboretum of Harvard between 1910 and 1930 for the final 20 years of his life.

  • Plant Communities, Species Richness and Life-Forms Along Elevational Gradients in Taibai Mountain, China

Accepted 30 January, 2012 Understanding the distribution patterns of vegetation, species richness and plant life-forms along elevational gradients can suggest important implications for developing optimal strategies for conservation of species diversity, sustainable managing and utilizing plant resources. We explored the relationships between vegetation, species richness and plant life-forms and the separate elevational gradients on the south slope and the north slope of Taibai Mountain. Eight plant communities were clearly identifiable on each slope and these communities presented zonational distributions along elevational gradients, however, the elevational ranges occupied by different communities had more overlaps at middle elevations (c. 2250 - 3350 m a.s.l.) than at two extremes. Three communities (Quences spinosa , Acer caesium subsp. giraldii and Carex capilliformis var. major communities) were first found in the area. Total species richness demonstrated a significant hump-shaped relationship with elevations on both slopes. Overall, phanerophytes, geophytes and hemicryptophytes were the most dominant life-forms, while camaephytes and therophytes were the rarest life-forms.

  • Wilson's Controversial Magnolia and the Mysterious Wa Shan
    photograph © President and Fellows of Harvard College. Arnold Arboretum Archives. Wilson’s photo of Wa Shan. “The fog prevented my view of the wild and savage scenery for which this stretch is famed. I was very disappointed as I was keen on getting some photos” (Wilson’s diary 18 September, 1908); “the Mt. covered in dense cloud all day” (19 September); “Mt. Wa was clear, 52 and I took 3 photos from different positions” (20 September). Wilson’s controversial magnolia and the mysterious Wa Shan As is so often the case, what was expected to be a leisurely pursuit of magnolia study in the tranquil atmosphere of the Australian Bicentennial Arboretum, turned out to be an exciting adventure into the wilderness of China’s remote and elusive Wa Shan, a mountain shrouded in mist and mystery. This is such a tale when CHRIS CALLAGHAN and SK PNG went searching for Wilson’s controversial Magnolia sargentiana var. robusta in a quest to shed further light on its botanical status and ended up rediscovering a mountain potentially richer in flora than Emei Shan! While researching the identity of what was found to be probably the first recorded hybrid of Magnolia sargentiana var. sargentiana (see ‘Bicentennial’ – a new hybrid magnolia cultivar, in the 2008 IDS Yearbook, pp. 53 - 61), I became aware of a controversy surrounding the botanical status of Magnolia sargentiana var. robusta, the few plants of which were discovered by Ernest Wilson in woodlands and open country on Wa Shan in Sichuan province, INTERNATIONAL DENDROLOGY SOCIETY TREES photograph © Australian Bicentennial Arboretum Da-tien Chi at base of Wa Shan in October 2009.

  • Final Report: 07-IG-11272177-051
    Final report: 07-IG-11272177-051 Preliminary exploration for natural enemies of Rubus ellipticus in China By Jianqing Ding, Kai Wu & Jialiang Zhang Invasion Biology and Biocontrol Lab Wuhan Botanical Institute Chinese Academy of Sciences, Wuhan, Hubei Province, 430074 China Email: [email protected] In collaboration with Tracy Johnson Institute of Pacific Islands Forestry USDA Forest Service, Pacific Southwest Research Station P.O. Box 236, Volcano, Hawaii 96785 Ph: 808-967-7122 Fax: 808-967-7158 E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The Yellow Himalayan Raspberry, Rubus ellipticus, is an invasive plant in Hawaii. As chemical, physical and manual controls are expensive and difficult to implement against this plant, biological control is being considered. The collaboration between China and the U.S. for finding potential biological control agents in the native range of R. ellipticus was recently reinitiated in 2006. Here, we report 60 arthropod species in 30 families that were directly collected on Rubus ellipticus in field surveys in 2006-2008. We also provide a review of the potential agents, including 49 species of arthropods in 16 families and 65 species of fungi in 3 phyla and 19 families, from literature or online data. Among these species, the warty beetles Chlamisus setosus (Bowditch) and Chlamisus spp., the flea beetles Chaetoenema, an unidentified stem borer, the leaf-rolling moth Epinotia spp. and an unidentified sawfly were the most promising potential agents. Preliminary lab tests indicated that the warty beetles Chlamisus spp., the flea beetles Chaetoenema, may have narrow host range. We recommend further screening of these organisms to investigate their impacts on the target plant, host specificity, and the risk of undesired effects in Hawaiian ecosystems.

  • The Administration of Tibetan Precious Pills Efficacy in Historical and Ritual Contexts
    asian medicine 10 (2015) 36–89 brill.com/asme The Administration of Tibetan Precious Pills Efficacy in Historical and Ritual Contexts Olaf Czaja University of Westminster, London [email protected] Abstract Precious pills represent a special kind of Tibetan drug that once was, and still is, highly sought after by Tibetan, Chinese, and Mongolian patients. Such pills are generally taken as a potent prophylactic remedy, and can be used to cure various diseases. The present study seeks to discuss the dispensation and efficacy of precious pills according to the presentations of historical Tibetan medical scholars. Several treatises dealing with these instructions will be analysed, thereby revealing their underlying concepts, and highlighting their points of both general consensus and disagreement. The analysis of these detailed instructions will reveal the fact that these precious pills were not merely given to a patient but, in order to ensure their full efficacy, involved an elaborate regi- men concerning three chronological periods: (1) the time of preparation, (2) the time of dispensation, and (3) the time after dispensation. Thus the present study surveys not only the ritual empowerment of drugs in Tibetan medicine, but also the importance of social relationships between doctors and patients in Tibetan medical history.

Abstract: The genus Rosa includes over 120 species prevalent in the temperate and subtropical zones of the Northern hemisphere.Among the wild species of rose – Rosa canina, Rosa multiflora, Rosa rugosa, Rosa glauca, Rosa laevigata, Rosa woodsii, Rosa chinensis, Rosa setigera, Rosa gigantea, Rosa gymnocarpa, Rosa serica, Rosa longicuspis, Rosa nutkana etc. are common.Wild Rose, contrary to common belief, has a number of unique uses starting from delicious recipes to treatment of several diseases. The hips are commonly used as food in many countries due to high nutritional qualities.Rose hips have very high medicinal value and are used in several herbal formulations to cure many ailments. The fruit extract has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti- ulcerogenic and anti-mutagenic activities. It contains high amount of Vitamin C, carotenoids, flavonoids, phenolic compounds and other secondary metabolites.A unique approach for utilization of rose is to use rose- water spray as attractant for insects to aid pollination in cross pollinated plants.An important aspect of disease management is the utilization of resistant types (either a species or a variety) to a particular pathogen.

Phrag- midium zhouquensis is mainly characterized by 3–9-celled teliospores bearing minute verrucae on the surface. Phragmidium longissima differs from other Phragmidium species in that it possesses echinulate urediniospores with a pore membrane at the germ pore.
