E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The Nothofagus genus comprises 10 species recorded in the South American subcontinent. All are important tree species in the ex- tratropical, Mediterranean, temperate and boreal forests of Chile and Argentina. This paper presents a summary of data on the phyto- coenotical behaviour of these species and relates the plant communities to the measurable or inferable thermoclimatic and ombrocli- matic conditions which affect them. Our aim is to update the phytosociological knowledge of the South American temperate forests and to assess their suitability as climatic bioindicators by analysing the behaviour of those species belonging to their most represen- tative genus.

Native Trees of Georgia
1 NATIVE TREES OF GEORGIA By G. Norman Bishop Professor of Forestry George Foster Peabody School of Forestry University of Georgia Currently Named Daniel B. Warnell School of Forest Resources University of Georgia GEORGIA FORESTRY COMMISSION Eleventh Printing - 2001 Revised Edition 2 FOREWARD This manual has been prepared in an effort to give to those interested in the trees of Georgia a means by which they may gain a more intimate knowledge of the tree species. Of about 250 species native to the state, only 92 are described here. These were chosen for their commercial importance, distribution over the state or because of some unusual characteristic. Since the manual is intended primarily for the use of the layman, technical terms have been omitted wherever possible; however, the scientific names of the trees and the families to which they belong, have been included. It might be explained that the species are grouped by families, the name of each occurring at the top of the page over the name of the first member of that family. Also, there is included in the text, a subdivision entitled KEY CHARACTERISTICS, the purpose of which is to give the reader, all in one group, the most outstanding features whereby he may more easily recognize the tree. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The author wishes to express his appreciation to the Houghton Mifflin Company, publishers of Sargent’s Manual of the Trees of North America, for permission to use the cuts of all trees appearing in this manual; to B. R. Stogsdill for assistance in arranging the material; to W. -
Research Reports Response of Five Hydrangea Species to Foliar Salt Spray1
Research Reports Response of Five Hydrangea Species to Foliar Salt Spray1 N. Barbara Conolly2, Nina L. Bassuk3, and Patrick F. MacRae Jr.4 Urban Horticulture Institute, Department of Horticulture Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14853 Abstract Hydrangeas are popular seaside plants; however, other than in anecdotal reports, there are no studies measuring their relative tolerance to salt spray. We examined response of ten cultivars and one subspecies of Hydrangea representing fi ve species to foliar-applied salt solutions to recommend selections for seaside landscapes. Objectives were to determine whether there are differences in responses to salt spray among cultivars and species, and to determine whether varying concentrations of sodium chloride differentially damaged the plants. Plants were treated with a full-strength (ion concentration approximate to seawater) salt solution, a half-strength salt solution, or a control of tap water. Plants were rated after seven once-weekly applications based on percentage necrotic leaf area, an aesthetically and physiologically important symptom of damage. Cultivars of Hydrangea macrophylla and Hydrangea serrata were more tolerant of full-strength salt spray than cultivars of H. paniculata, H. anomala and H. arborescens. At half strength but not full strength, H. anomala ssp. petiolaris was most tolerant. Hydrangea macrophylla and H. serrata were the second most tolerant of half-strength applications. Hydrangea macrophylla or Hydrangea serrata should be planted where maritime salt spray will occur. Index words: seawater aerosol, NaCl, Hydrangeaceae. Species used in this study: Smooth hydrangea (Hydrangea arborescens L.) cultivars ‘Annabelle’, ‘Dardom’ White Dome®, ‘Hayes Starburst’; bigleaf hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla (Thunb.) Ser.) cultivars ‘Paris’ (Cityline™ series), ‘Nikko Blue’, ‘All Summer Beauty’; panicle hydrangea (Hydrangea paniculata Sieb.) cultivars ‘Limelight’, ‘Tardiva’; Hydrangea serrata (Thunb.) Ser. -

Watsonia 27 : 375–387 (2009) PLANT RECORDS 375 Plant Records Records for publication must be submitted to the appropriate Vice-county Recorder (see BSBI Year Book 2008 ), and not to the Editors. Following publication of the New Atlas of the British & Irish Flora and the Vice-county Census Catalogue , new criteria have been drawn up for the inclusion of records in Plant Records . (See BSBI News no. 95, January 2004 pp. 10 & 11). These are outlined below: • First records of all taxa (species, subspecies and hybrids) included in the VCCC, designated as native, archaeophyte, neophyte or casual. • First record since 1970 of the taxa above, except in the case of Rubus , Hieracium and Taraxacum . • Records demonstrating the rediscovery of all taxa published as extinct in the VCCC or subsequently. • Newly reported definite extinctions. • Deletions from the VCCC (e.g. through the discovery of errors, the redetermination of specimens etc.) NB – only those errors affecting VCCC entry. • New 10km square records for Rare and Scarce plants, defined as those species in the New Atlas mapped in the British Isles in 100 10km squares or fewer. (See BSBI News no. 95, January 2004 pp 36–43). Records for the subdivisions of vice-counties will not be treated separately; they must therefore be records for the vice-county as a whole. However, records will be accepted for the major islands in v.cc. 100, 102–104, 110 and 113. In the following list, records are arranged in the order given in the List of Vascular Plants of the British Isles and its supplements by D. -
NOTES Watsonia 25 (2005) NORTH WALES SPECIES of RUBUS L
Watsonia 25: 289–298 (2005) NOTES Watsonia 25 (2005) 289 Notes NORTH WALES SPECIES OF RUBUS L. (ROSACEAE) IN THE ISLE OF WIGHT In 1982 two sizeable populations of Rubus effrenatus Newton, a species up till then (and still) otherwise known only in north-west Wales, v.cc. 46–49, were discovered in the Isle of Wight, v.c. 10, at a distance of 11 km from each other. One population is near the Island’s southernmost tip, mainly among bracken along a crescent of gravel overlying the chalk on the north face of Head Down but with an outlying patch in a deep ‘green lane’ about 1·4 km to the north-west. The other site is towards the Island’s south-east corner, along a much-frequented public footpath forming the north boundary of Sandown Golf Course, a relic fragment of a once-extensive tract of partly- wooded acid ground that constituted Blackpan and Lake Commons. The species is unrepresented in Rubus collections made in these two localities by 19th century specialists in the genus, and that negative evidence, taken together with a subjective impression that both populations have expanded slightly in the years since their discovery, could be interpreted as indicating a relatively recent arrival in each case (Allen 2003). Though the two may have had independent origins, it is equally possible that one population has been derived from the other – in which case that on Head Down seems the more likely to be the parent colony. In 2002–4 two successive finds of another Rubus species provided a near-duplicate of this very unexpected national distribution pattern. -

Hypericum also displays an ample variety of other biological actions, such as hypotensive, analgesic, anti-infective, anti-oxidant, and spasmolytic abilities. However, recent investigations highlighted that this species could be advantageous for the cure of other pathological situations, such as trigeminal neuralgia, as well as in the treatment of cancer. This review focuses on the in vitro and in vivo antitumor effects of St. John’s Wort (Hypericum perforatum), its derivatives, and other Hypericum species in hematologic malignancies. -
