Santiago Castroviejo This paper is respectfully dedicated to Dr Santi - ago Castroviejo Bolivar (b. 7 August 1946, d. 30 September 2009), who treated the Crassulaceae for the Flora iberica project, of which he was a major architect. He had a broad international participation in botanical thrusts of a global na - ture and his untimely death leaves a void that is felt beyond his native Spain.

In Europe, the Crassulaceae are represented *Aeonium Webb & 2 (2) by several genera, most of which consist of small, Berthel. weedy, sub-shrublets (Webb et al ., 1964; ‘t Hart & Eggli, 1995). Sedum L. is the most speciose of the *Aichryson Webb & European genera, and has for a long time been 1 (1) Berthel. considered to encompass entities that could be more comfortably accommodated in separate gen - era (Stephenson, 2007a). More recently, earlier Crassula L. 6 (4) suggestions by Berger (1930) that could better re - flect crassuloid diversity at the generic rank were *Graptopetalum Rose 1 (1) implemented through the general acceptance of the transferral of some species of Sedum to the *Hylotelephium 1 (1) genus Petrosedum Grulich (Grulich, 1984). H.Ohba European species of Sedum can be roughly di - vided into four sections, each comprising similar, *Kalanchoe Adans. 3 (3) closely related species (Stephenson, 1994).

  • Wildlife Travel Burren 2018
    The Burren 2018 species list and trip report, 7th-12th June 2018 WILDLIFE TRAVEL The Burren 2018 s 1 The Burren 2018 species list and trip report, 7th-12th June 2018 Day 1: 7th June: Arrive in Lisdoonvarna; supper at Rathbaun Hotel Arriving by a variety of routes and means, we all gathered at Caherleigh House by 6pm, sustained by a round of fresh tea, coffee and delightful home-made scones from our ever-helpful host, Dermot. After introductions and some background to the geology and floral elements in the Burren from Brian (stressing the Mediterranean component of the flora after a day’s Mediterranean heat and sun), we made our way to the Rathbaun, for some substantial and tasty local food and our first taste of Irish music from the three young ladies of Ceolan, and their energetic four-hour performance (not sure any of us had the stamina to stay to the end). Day 2: 8th June: Poulsallach At 9am we were collected by Tony, our driver from Glynn’s Coaches for the week, and following a half-hour drive we arrived at a coastal stretch of species-rich limestone pavement which represented the perfect introduction to the Burren’s flora: a stunningly beautiful mix of coastal, Mediterranean, Atlantic and Arctic-Alpine species gathered together uniquely in a natural rock garden. First impressions were of patchy grassland, sparkling with heath spotted- orchids Dactylorhiza maculata ericetorum and drifts of the ubiquitous and glowing-purple bloody crane’s-bill Geranium sanguineum, between bare rock. A closer look revealed a diverse and colourful tapestry of dozens of flowers - the yellows of goldenrod Solidago virgaurea, kidney-vetch Anthyllis vulneraria, and bird’s-foot trefoil Lotus corniculatus (and its attendant common blue butterflies Polyommatus Icarus), pink splashes of wild thyme Thymus polytrichus and the hairy local subspecies of lousewort Pedicularis sylvatica ssp.

  • To La Serena What Severe and Brown Earth, Sun-Soaked, Barren, Poor, and Torn by a Thousand Stone Needles. Softened by Pastures W
    To La Serena What severe and brown earth, sun-soaked, barren, poor, and torn by a thousand stone needles. Softened by pastures where the bells lend their voice to the sheep. Earth watched over by castles already void, of dry battlements, lichen and wild-fig covered, silent witness of the passage of time. Naked earth of trees and undergrowth, of mountain crags, dark and ashen, of a dying greyish green cut out against the sky like a Chinese shadow. And however, so beautiful. In spring the breeze carries the scent of labdanum and heath to the plain, and the rosemary prays to its god, the Sun, giving to the air a magic aura of sanctity, as if bathing it in incense. Winter sows the earth with torrents, ponds, streams leaping and sparkling, their banks carpeted with the tiniest flowers whose names only botanists know. Spring dries the soul of La Serena and shrouds it with flowers, crowning it with beauty, then to clothe it in fields of golden hay combed by the east wind in summer. Everything in La Serena is ephemeral, as a lily petal left on the altar, as the winged soul of a butterfly, as the tears of a child. Only the holm oak, brown like earth, remain in time, year after year, standing, silent, with their gray trunks, their hardy leaves, their gnarled strong and haggard branches. 305 306 Generalities 307 308 Generalities 1. INTRODUCTION Following the 1996 Cork (Ireland) Declaration “ A Living Rural Environment ”, rural development has become a key cross-sectoral goal of a major part of European Com - munity policies.

  • Spring in Southern Portugal
    Spring in Southern Portugal Naturetrek Tour Report 17 - 24 April 2018 Report compiled by Philip Thompson Naturetrek Mingledown Barn Wolf's Lane Chawton Alton Hampshire GU34 3HJ UK T: +44 (0)1962 733051 E: [email protected] W: www.naturetrek.co.uk Tour Report Spring in Southern Portugal Tour participants: Philip Thompson & Keith Buchanan (leaders) with 13 Naturetrek clients Day 1 Tuesday 17th April Having arrived safely and gathered the group together, it was then a thankfully quick process to arrange collection of our minibus and get under way. We headed north through the hills that fringe the Algarve. Here the traffic declined and we enjoyed a winding scenic transfer through these little-visited hills. The roadsides held an abundant and diverse range of flowers for the sharp-eyed to pick out. We stopped at a scenic viewpoint Mirador on a hilltop at the halfway point, to stretch our legs and take in a little of the botanical riches to be discovered. Birdlife was unfortunately rather thin for those interested, but the trip ahead would more than make up for it. The most notable plant found were a number of examples of Ornithogalum broteroi: a species confined to Iberia. Having spent rather too long ‘stretching our legs’, we headed on to complete our transfer to Mertola a little later than planned, where we were soon assigned our rooms and arrangements made to meet up later for our evening meal in town. Day 2 Wednesday 18th April Our day today was fully spent within the Castro Verde SPA, looking for the specialised and threatened steppe birds for which the area is renowned.

Everyone was determined to make the most of sunshine on the first day of what for many, was their first real trip out in almost 18 months. We headed straight out on the Lizard peninsula past Culdrose Naval station and through the pretty village of Gunwalloe, down to Church Cove. Every hedge was hazed navy blue with Bluebells and clouds of Cow Parsley brushed the van on the narrow lanes. In glorious late afternoon sunshine, we wandered out of the car park towards the cove. The Cornish hedges were covered in the glossy green leaves of Sea Beet (Beta maritima) interspersed with Danish Scurvygrass (Cochlearia danica) that was coming to the end of its flowering season. As we got nearer to the beach, one wall was covered from top to bottom with a blanket of Sea Sandwort (Honckenya peploides) in full flower. The cliffs were dotted with Common Scurvygrass (Cochlearia officinalis) and huge mounds of Thrift (Armeria maritima). Up on top of the cliffs we came across our first blue Spring Squills (Scilla verna).
