Solidago 13:4 Volume 13, No. 4 December 2012 Editorial Wintergreens and Reds S AUTUMN’S BRIGHT LEAVES DROP, and herbaceous plants are withered by frost, the landscape takes on tones of brown and grey. Landforms that have been masked by foliage are suddenly exposed, revealing ridgelines, hollows, and all the subtle details of relief. And cloudy skies and cold winds may bring the first light snowfalls, icicles, and other hints of winter. An outdoor revel with wild greenery and bright berries can dispel the gloom of these .short December days! Those who look can find a surprising variety of verdure at this season, particularly in wetlands. Complementing these are dazzling red berries and Aromatic Wintergreen crimson twigs that bring festive cheer to remote swamps and marshes. (Gaultheria procumbens) A few conifers remain green all year — rugged Hemlocks*, soft resiny White Pines, is the quintessential “wintergreen” and occasional American Yews (still hiding in nooks where our resident ungulates cannot of the season. Drawn by Evelyn E. reach them). Broad-leaved evergreen shrubs like Great Laurel and Mountain Laurel spread Halsey (3/5 life size), ca. 1905. in wonderful tangles, amid the bright twigs of Red Maple and Mountain Maple. Mosses carpet the ground — including jade Pincushion Moss, the textured weave of Sphagnum, and several fern mosses, among them the elegant Knight’s Plume. Fancy Ferns, Christmas Ferns, and Marginal Wood Ferns lend their special grace, while several club mosses add their own pretty forms and designs to the outdoor tapestry. Even the humble tussocks of Common Rush still glow greenly in their centers; while the tiny Sulphur Stubble Lichen spreads its chartreuse dust beneath an upturned tree. The lovely green leaves of Aromatic Wintergreen and Patridgeberry have their own red fruits, and Goldthread’s glossy foliage spreads in masses. The brightest scarlet is seen on Winterberry, with a close second in American Bittersweet. And if we stray from the swamp, and are in a forgiving mood, even the Japanese Barberry earns its keep at this season, with cascades of crimson glory! These colorful plants are here, awaiting our greetings at this special season. Enjoy! Partridgeberry (Mitchella repens) is an attractive “wintergreen” of the Finger Lakes Region. Drawn by F. Schuyler Mathews (2/3 life size), ca. 1912.

What weed stem is this, sticking out of the snow? Which shrub? Whose withered fruit? This time, our puzzle (right) was found beneath oaks on a rock outcrop, just west of Sackett Bridge on the north- eastern corner of Beebe Lake (Cornell University campus). It is a delicate, 8- to 12-inch-high shrub with beautiful olive-green bark — another subtle “winter- green .” You might also find it growing on gorge rims, or in edge habitats under oaks and pines on South Hill.

  • The Free Radical Scavenging Activities of Biochemical Compounds of Dicranum Scoparium and Porella Platyphylla
    Aydın S. 2020. Anatolian Bryol……………………………………………………………..……………19 Anatolian Bryology http://dergipark.org.tr/tr/pub/anatolianbryology Anadolu Briyoloji Dergisi Research Article DOI: 10.26672/anatolianbryology.701466 e-ISSN:2458-8474 Online The free radical scavenging activities of biochemical compounds of Dicranum scoparium and Porella platyphylla Sevinç AYDIN1* 1Çemişgezek Vocational School, Munzur University, Tunceli, TURKEY Received: 10.03.2020 Revised: 28.03.2020 Accepted: 17.04.2020 Abstract The bryophytes studies carried out in our country are mainly for bryofloristic purposes and the studies on biochemical contents are very limited. Dicranum scoparium and Porella platyphylla taxa of bryophytes were used in the present study carried out to determine the free radical scavenging activities, fatty acid, and vitamin contents. In this study, it was aimed to underline the importance of bryophytes for scientific literature and to provide a basis for further studies on this subject. The data obtained in this study indicate that the DPPH radical scavenging effect of D. scoparium taxon is significantly higher than that of P. platyphylla taxon. It is known that there is a strong relationship between the phenolic compound content of methanol extracts of the plants and the DPPH radical scavenging efficiency. When the fatty acid contents were examined, it was observed that levels of all unsaturated fatty acids were higher in the P. platyphylla taxon than the D. scoparium taxon, except for α-Linolenic acid. When the vitamin contents of species were compared, it was determined that D-3, α -tocopherol, stigmasterol, betasterol amount was higher in Dicranum taxon. Keywords: DPPH, Fatty Acid, Vitamin, Dicranaceae, Porellaceae Dicranum scoparium ve Porella platyphylla taxonlarının biyokimyasal bileşiklerinin serbest radikal temizleme faaliyetleri Öz Ülkemizde briyofitler ile ilgili olan çalışmalar genellikle briyofloristik amaçlı olup serbest radikal temizleme aktiviteleri ve yağ asidi içerikleri gibi diğer amaçlı çalışmalar yok denecek kadar azdır.

  • Practical Experiences in Invasive Alien Plant Control
    ROSALIA Handbooks ROSALIA Handbooks Practical Experiences in Invasive Alien Plant Control Second, revised and expanded edition Invasive plant species pose major agricultural, silvicultural, human health and ecological problems worldwide, and are considered the most signifi cant threat for nature conservation. Species invading natural areas in Hungary have been described by a number of books published in the Practical Experiences in Invasive Alien Plant Control last few years. A great amount of experience has been gathered about the control of these species in some areas, which we can read about in an increasing number of articles; however, no book has been published with regards to the whole country. Invasions affecting larger areas require high energy and cost input, and the effectiveness and successfulness of control can be infl uenced by a number of factors. The development of effective, widely applicable control and eradication technologies is preceded by experiments and examinations which are based on a lot of practical experience and often loaded with negative experiences. National park directorates, forest and agricultural managers and NGOs in many parts of Hungary are combatting the spread of invasive species; however, the exchange of information and conclusion of experiences among the managing bodies is indispensable. The aim of the present volume is to facilitate this by summarizing experiences and the methods applied in practice; which, we hope, will enable us to successfully stop the further spread of invasive plant species and effectively protect our natural values.

According to the results, a total of 47 compounds were detected, among which thujopsadiene (35.5%) and β-curcumene (25.4%) were the main components. In the second part of this study, the essential oil and solvent extracts were tested for its antimicrobial activity against 9 microorganisms with minimal-inhibitory-concentration (MIC) values in the range 61-4235 µg / mL.
