Limonium Perezii Statice Or Sea Lavender PPPlllaaannnttt ooofff ttthhheee WWWeeeeeekkk LLLiiimmmooonnniiiuuummm pppeeerrreeezzziiiiii SSStttaaatttiiiccceee ooorrr SSSeeeaaa LLLaaavvveeennndddeeerrr In recent years, Limonium perezii (Statice or Sea Lavender), has become a very fashionable garden plant in Sydney. This mauve-flowered perennial with leathery leaves is one species in a cosmopolitan genus of approximately 300 in the plant family Plumbaginaceae. Most are native to countries surrounding the Mediterranean spreading through into eastern Asia. There are two endemic Australian species1. Limonium perezii is a native of the Canary Islands, off the north-western coast of Africa2 and in spite of its recent rise in popularity, it has been grown by many generations of Sydney gardeners and known by an earlier name, Statice. This is a seriously tough plant which can survive roasting hot temperatures, full sun, low rainfall and salt spray. It has been prized for its papery flowers that are used for both fresh and dried arrangements. Look closely and you can see it is the sepals that are mauve; the less conspicuous flower petals are white. In the early days of the university, a closely related annual species, Limonium sinuatum¸ a native of woodlands of the Mediterranean, was grown on campus by gardener David Melville who produced flowers for the administrative offices and the library. In Australia, L. sinuatum has escaped from cultivation and is widespread in South Australia, Western Australia, western Victoria and NSW3. 1 Plantnet: http://plantnet.rbgsyd.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/NSWfl.pl?page=nswfl&lvl=gn&name=Limonium 2 Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limonium_perezii 3 Atlas of Living Australia: http://bie.ala.org.au/species/urn:lsid:biodiversity.org.au:apni.taxon:394287 Map: Modified from http://jimaifandis.com/ja_iml06.htm Text and photographs: Alison Downing & Kevin Downing, 24.07.2011 Downing Herbarium, Department of Biological Sciences .

  • Henderson, L. (2007). Invasive, Naturalized and Casual Alien Plants in Southern Africa
    Bothalia 37,2: 215–248 (2007) Invasive, naturalized and casual alien plants in southern Africa: a sum- mary based on the Southern African Plant Invaders Atlas (SAPIA) L. HENDERSON* Keywords: biomes, casual alien plants, invasive plants, Lesotho, naturalized plants, roadside surveys, SAPIA mapping project, South Africa, Swaziland ABSTRACT The primary objective of this publication is to provide an overview of the species identity, invasion status, geographical extent, and abundance of alien plants in South Africa, Swaziland and Lesotho, based on fi eld records from 1979 to the end of 2000. The dataset is all the species records for the study area in the Southern African Plant Invaders Atlas (SAPIA) database during this time period. A total of 548 naturalized and casual alien plant species were catalogued and invasion was recorded almost throughout the study area. Most invasion, in terms of both species numbers and total species abundance, was recorded along the southern, southwestern and eastern coastal belts and in the adjacent interior. This area includes the whole of the Fynbos and Forest Biomes, and the moister eastern parts of the Grassland and Savanna Biomes. This study reinforces previous studies that the Fynbos Biome is the most extensively invaded vegetation type in South Africa but it also shows that parts of Savanna and Grassland are as heavily invaded as parts of the Fynbos. The Fabaceae is prominent in all biomes and Acacia with 17 listed species, accounts for a very large proportion of all invasion. Acacia mearnsii was by far the most prominent invasive species in the study area, followed by A.

Abstract: The leaves and seeds of the faba bean are good sources of L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanin (L-dopa), and are usually eaten with thermal cooking methods. However, little information is available on the effect of thermal treatments on their nutritional value. We compared the changes in color, contents of L-dopa, vitamin C (Vc), total phenolics (TP), total flavonoids (TF) and antioxidant activity after dry heating or steaming faba bean leaves and seeds. The young leaves provided higher values of all the estimate factors, regardless of the thermal treatment. Steaming significantly degraded nutritional values of the leaves, but less changed in seeds, whereas dry heat maintained these attributes. The contents of L-dopa, Vc, TP and TF were shown to have strongly positive correlations with antioxidant activity in the leaves, whereas only L-dopa content was positively Citation: Duan, S.-C.; Kwon, S.-J.; Eom, S.-H. Effect of Thermal correlated with antioxidant activity of the seeds.

Departamento de fitotecnia y producción vegetal. Facultad de Ciencias Agrícolas y Pecuarias. Universidad Mayor de San Simón. Cochabamba, Bolivia ABSTRACT Flower production is an important economic activity in the Cochabamba Valley, Bolivia. Species and varieties of Roses (Rosa sp-), Chrysanthemums (Chrysantemum sp.), Carnations (Dianthus carophyllus), Gladiolus (Gladiolus communis), Saticias (Limonium sp.), Liliums (Liliums sp.,) etc. are grown. Rusts affect a variety of crops, including flowers. The aim of this study, was identify the rust diseases that is affecting to three important flower species. Stems and leaves of samples with characteristic rust symptoms of smallholder farmer parcels were collected between 2016 and 2018 of the Chrysantemum grandiflorum, G. communis and Limonium sp. Based on morphometric studies the causal agent of rust diseases was identify as the first record to Puccinia horiana on chrysanthemum, Uromyces transversalis on Gladiolus and Uromyces limonii on Limonio in the Cochabamba Valley, Bolivia. Keywords: Fungi; Rust; Uredinales INTRODUCTION Bolivia. Otazu et al. in the "Plant diseases in Bolivia" reported only to carnation rust caused by Uromyces caryophyllinus [5]. The The Bolivian Inter Andean Valleys (2000 - 3000 meters above aim of this study, was identify the rust diseases that is affecting to sea level), due to its favorable weather, soil conditions and water three flower species by morphological details of urediniospores availability, are suitable for the vegetables and flowers and teliospores collected from natural infections in the farmers’ production.
