    Contribuţii Botanice – 2013, XLVIII: 27-37 Grădina Botanică “Alexandru Borza” Cluj-Napoca THE PRESENCE OF VERONICA SPECIES IN DIFFERENT NATURA 2000 HABITAT TYPES IN ROMANIA Silvia OROIAN,1 Mihaela SĂMĂRGHIŢAN2 1 University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Târgu-Mureş, Faculty of Pharmacy, Pharmaceutical Botany and Cell Biology Department, 38 Gh. Marinescu Street, RO-540139 Târgu-Mureş, Romania 2 Mureş County Museum, Natural Science Department, 24 Horea Street, RO-540036 Târgu-Mureş, Romania e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: A principal objective of this study was to summarise the distribution of Veronica species in Romania, where such an inventory has not existed before. Taxa of Veronica genus were identified in 311 plant associations and 36 subassociations framed in 132 alliances. Of the 311 plant associations, 138 are included in various types of NATURA 2000 Habitats. The review of phytosociological data reveals the presence of Veronica taxa in 42 types of Natura 2000 habitats with scientific significance. Some of these Veronica taxa are characteristic species for alliances (i.e. Veronicion baumgartenii Coldea 1991, Veronico officinalis-Quercion Pop 1971) or differential species at plant association level (Veronico baumgartenii-Saxifragetum bryoidis Boşcaiu et al. 1977). Keywords: Veronica genus, Natura 2000 habitats, plant associations Introduction Veronica is considered among the richest genera of the vascular flora of Romania as well as of other European countries. As regards their systematic position, Veronica species were included until recently in the Scrophularioideae (Antirrhinoideae) subfamily, Scrophulariaceae family, Scrophulariales order, Asterideae subclass, Magnoliopsida class [7]. Because there are several classification systems for this genus, here we mention three of them, which we consider most recent.

Our work is focused both in the internal relationships among representatives of Omphalodes main subgroups (and including Omphalodes verna, the type species), and their relationships with other Cynoglosseae genera that have been related to the Omphalodes group. Our phylogenetic analysis of ITS and trnL-trnF molecular markers establish close relationships of the American Omphalodes with the genus Mimophytum, and also with Cynoglossum paniculatum and Myosotidium hortensia. The southwestern European annual Omphalodes species form a discrete group deserving taxonomic recognition. We describe two new genera to reduce the paraphyly in the genus Omphalodes, accommodating the European annual species in Iberodes and Cynoglossum paniculatum in Mapuchea. The pollen of the former taxon is described in detail for the first time. Keywords: Madrean-Tethyan, phylogeny, pollen, systematics, taxonomy Resumo Neste estudo analisamos as relacións filoxenéticas deOmphalodes (Boraginaceae, Cynoglosseae) no contexto da tribo Cynoglosseae, confirmándose como parafilético o xéneroOmphalodes .

  • Atlas of Rare Endemic Vascular Plants of the Arctic
    Atlas of Rare Endemic Vascular Plants of the Arctic Technical Report No. 3 About CAFF Theprogram for the Conservation of Arctic Flora and Fauna (CAFF) of the Arctic Council was established lo address the special needs of Arctic ecosystems, species and thcir habitats in the rapid ly developing Arctic region. Itwas initiated as one of'four programs of the Arctic Environmental Protcction Strategy (AEPS) which was adopted by Canada, Denmark/Greenland, Finland, lceland, Norway, Russia, Swcdcn and the United States through a Ministeria! Declaration at Rovaniemi, Finland in 1991. Other programs initi­ ated under the AEPS and overlaken hy the Are.tie Council are the ArcticMonitoring and assessment Programme (AMAP), the program for Emergency Prevention, Preparcd­ ness and Response (EPPR) and the program for Protection of the Arctic Marine Envi­ ronment (PAME). Sinceits inaugural mccti.ng in Ottawa, Canada in 1992, the CAFF program has provided scientists, conscrvation managers and groups, and indigenous people of the north with a distinct forum in which lo tackle a wide range of Arctic conservation issues at the cir­ cumpolar level. CAFF's main goals, which are achieved in keeping with the concepts of sustainable developrnertt and utilisation, are: • to conserve Arctic Jlora and fauna, thcir diversity and thcir habitats; • to protect the Arctic ecosystems from threats; • to improve conservation management laws, reg ulations and practices for the Arclic; • to integrale Arctic interests into global conservation fora. CAFF operates rhrough a system of Designated Agencies and National Representatives responsible for CAFF in thcir rcspcctivc countries. CAFF also has an International Work­ ing Group wh.ith has met annually to assess progrcss and to develop Annual WorkPlans.

  • Landscaping with Perennials
    Visit us on the Web: www.gardeninghelp.org Landscaping with Perennials The term “perennial” generally speaking, refers to a type of plant that once planted, will live for many years. This broad definition covers bulbs, woody trees and shrubs, cacti, succulents, grasses, ferns, some herbs, and many groundcovers. The popular gardening definition of a perennial, however, refers to those plants which are non-woody, have a root system that lives through the winter from which leaves emerge in the spring and die back to the ground in the fall. Plants of this type are more specifically called herbaceous perennials. The popularity of herbaceous perennials has risen in recent times because they offer a wide variety of forms and sizes, colors and textures and are relatively long-lived. Of particular significance is the fact that they generally fall into the low to moderate maintenance category which many gardeners today value due to limited resources and time. There are hundreds of perennials to choose from and they offer the gardener a good deal of versatility for all areas of the landscape. You can select plants which grow well in wet and dry sites; full sun to shade; deep, fertile to shallow, poor soils. Additionally, many will solve the problems of difficult-to-manage areas like steep embankments, hillsides and rocky sites. History of Perennials The first and most popular period for growing herbaceous perennials was in the later part of the 1800s and early 1900s. At this time, perennials were being used in Europe as border plants outlining naturalized woodland garden areas.

Sikolia ABSTRACT: Centrospermeae species were collected at different sites along gradient of altitude and aridity in the semi-arid, saline and arid habitats in western region of Kenya. δ13C values and Kranz leaf anatomy were used to examine for C3, C4 C3-C4 intermediate and Crassulacean metabolism (CAM) species photosynthesis. 13 ẟ C values and Kranz leaf anatomy were used to differentiate the C3 plant species from the C4 species. The C4, C3, C3-C4 and CAM species were confirmed to be present in the Centrospermeae group in different proportionate percentage. Interspecific species occur in the group. The morphological, anatomical, physiological and biochemical adaptive strategies of the C3, C4,C3-C4and CAM species of the Centrospermeae group are discussed. 13 KEY WORDS: Centrospermeae, C4, C3, C3-C4 species,δ C values, Kranz leaf anatomy,adaptive strategies I. INTRODUCTION There is consensus that C3 pathway evolved first and wide spread in terrestrial and aquatic species and habitats (Sikolia, Onyango, Beck and Kinyamario, 2009[1]). The C4 syndrome is phylogenetic younger achievement and apparently evolved independently in monocots and dicot perhaps as many as twenty times (Quade and Cerling, 1995[2]; Edwards, Franceschi and Voznesenskaya, 2004[3]; Edward, Furbank, Hatch and Osmond, 2001[4] [1] Sikolia, 2016[5]).
