Tentsile Tree Planting We Are Tentsile Tree Planting Mission Tentsile Tree Planting We are Tentsile Tree Planting Mission At Tentsile, we love trees. Everything we do is about saving trees and inspiring others For every tent purchased we make a donation to plant 20 trees with our partners: to love trees too.

So far, we have planted over 400,000 trees in projects located across Zambia, India, Our Tree Tents allow people to hang out in the forest in complete comfort; after all, if Madagascar, and Oregon. were all hanging out in trees, they cant be chopped down.

March 1973 Portland Oregon 97201 THE OLIGOCENE LYONS FLORA OF NORTHWESTERN OREGON Herb Meyer Student, Portland State University The purpose of this study of the Lyons flora is to determine the age and paleoecology of the flora through the examination and identification of the fossil plant species of the flora. The plant fossi Is comprising the Lyons flora were collected from a locality in the .t~~·fi:~ora upper Thomas Creek area, 5 mi les sou theast of the town of Lyons, Oregon. Geologic Occurrence The beds from which the Lyons flora was obtained are part of the Little Butte Volcanic Series of Oligocene and early Miocene age described by Peck and others(1964). Stratigraphically below the fossil deposit, the Little Butte Volcanic Series is characterized by a pumiceous tuff-breccia which contains blocks and fragments of a volcanic flow rock. This exposure, the base of which is not exposed, underlies the fossil deposit for a thickness of more than 400 feet. The deposit containing the fossi I leaves is composed of a thinly lami­ nated tuffaceous material which has been silicifed to varying degrees. These beds may have been deposi ted in a sha !low, quiet body of water. Lacustrine deposition is suggested by the stratification of the beds, the abundant pres­ ence of fossil leaves, and the presence of one water plant in the fossil record. Composition of the Lyons Flora Twenty-four identified fossi I plants represent the Lyons flora as it is known at this point in the study.

Peridiscaceae, comprising Peridiscus, Soyauxia, and Whittonia, are an enigmatic angiosperm family of uncertain composition and placement. Although some have placed Soyauxia in other families (e.g., Flacourtiaceae, Medusandraceae), rather than in Peridiscaceae, sequence data for five genes (material of Whittonia could not be obtained) provide strong support for a clade of Soyauxia and Peridiscus. This evidence, combined with the strong morphological similarity of Peridiscus and Whittonia, support a monophyletic Peridiscaceae of three genera. Molecular analyses of a three-gene (rbcL, atpB, 18S rDNA) dataset for 569 taxa indicate that Peridiscus + Soyauxia together with Daphniphyllaceae form a clade that is sister to the rest of Saxifragales. Maximum likelihood and Bayesian analyses of Saxifragales using a five-gene (rbcL, atpB, matK, 18S rDNA, 26S rDNA) dataset place Peridiscaceae (posterior probability of 1.00) Peridiscaceae as sister to the remainder of Saxifragales, albeit without high posterior probability (pp = 0.78).

China Abstract The Mount Jinggangshan region is located between Jiangxi and Hunan provinces in southeastern China in the central section of the Luoxiao Mountains. A detailed investigation of Mount Jinggangshan region shows that the seed plant flora comprises 2,958 species in 1,003 genera and 210 families (Engler’s system adjusted according to Zhengyi Wu’s concept). Among them, 23 species of gymnospermae belong to 17 genera and 9 families, and 2,935 species of angiosperms are in 986 genera and 201 families. Moreover, they can also be sorted into woody plants (350 genera and 1,295 species) and herbaceous plants (653 genera and 1,663 species). The dominant families are mainly Fagaceae, Lauraceae, Theaceae, Hamamelidaceae, Magnoliaceae, Ericaceae, Styracaceae, Aquifoliaceae, Elaeocarpaceae, Aceraceae, Rosaceae, Corylaceae, Daphniphyllaceae, Symplocaceae, Euphorbiaceae, Pinaceae, Taxodiaceae, Cupressaceae and Taxaceae.

Both the types of breeds can yield more milk for longer duration during each lactation period, on account of which the dairy development scheme at private level has been much flourished in Meghalaya. Cattle breeders usually supplement the paddy straw and dry grasses during lean period (October-May) by green fodder lopped from 126 tree species belonging to 77 genera under 46 families. These fodder trees have their respective palatability and lopping cycle. Keywords: Fodder trees, Cattle, Meghalaya Int.
