The Nový Dvůr Arboretum Stěbořice Guide 2 the Nový Dvůr Arboretum the Nový Dvůr Arboretum 3 The Nový Dvůr Arboretum 1 The Nový Dvůr Arboretum Stěbořice Guide 2 The Nový Dvůr Arboretum The Nový Dvůr Arboretum 3 The Nový Dvůr Arboretum The Nový Dvůr Arboretum is one of the six exhibition premises of the Silesian Museum. It is a botanical garden with a special focus on dendrology, i.e. the study of trees. The arboretum enjoys a special status within the museum, as no other part of the institution admin- isters living exhibits. This gives rise to a number of interesting issues and differences, which may not necessarily be so obvious to the visi- tor: while the idea of museum-based care is founded on the effort to preserve items in their original form, in the arboretum we endeavour to encourage the growth and development of the items in our col- lection. The arboretum is open all year round, and you will find many interesting things displayed there, even when you might not expect it. Our guide is therefore conceived with regard to the individual sea- sons. Please treat it as instructions for the ‘use’ of our lovely park.

    A Horticulture Information article from the Wisconsin Master Gardener website, posted 18 April 2016 Forsythia, Forsythia spp. Forsythia is both the common and genus name of a group of deciduous fl ower shrubs in the olive family (Oleaceae) named after William Forsyth, a Scottish botanist who was at that time Director of the Royal Garden at Kensington and a founding member of England’s Royal Horticultural Society. The 11 or so species are primarily native to eastern Asia, with one species from Europe. The two quite variable species F. suspensa and F. viridissima were the fi rst to be brought from the Far East to Europe. Forsythia × intermedia is a hybrid of these species that was introduced in continental Europe Forsythia is a common landscape plant in the about 1880. Many Midwest. other crosses using the same two parents have been made so plants with this name can be quite variable. F. suspensa tends to have a widely open to drooping habit, but a more upright form found in China in 1861 was given the (incorrect) name F. fortunei. Other species discovered in the early 1900’s – F. giraldiana from China and F. ovata from Korea – as well as the European species F. europaea, have been used in 20th-century American crosses. Hardiness varies by species, with most in zones 5-8, but many of the hybrids are hardier than the parents, surviving in zones 4 or even 3. The unrelated white forsythia, Abeliophyllum distichum, has many of the same characteristics as forsythia, blooming White forsythia, Abeliophyllum about the same time, but with white fl owers.

    Lamiales – Synoptical classification vers. 2.6.2 (in prog.) Updated: 12 April, 2016 A Synoptical Classification of the Lamiales Version 2.6.2 (This is a working document) Compiled by Richard Olmstead With the help of: D. Albach, P. Beardsley, D. Bedigian, B. Bremer, P. Cantino, J. Chau, J. L. Clark, B. Drew, P. Garnock- Jones, S. Grose (Heydler), R. Harley, H.-D. Ihlenfeldt, B. Li, L. Lohmann, S. Mathews, L. McDade, K. Müller, E. Norman, N. O’Leary, B. Oxelman, J. Reveal, R. Scotland, J. Smith, D. Tank, E. Tripp, S. Wagstaff, E. Wallander, A. Weber, A. Wolfe, A. Wortley, N. Young, M. Zjhra, and many others [estimated 25 families, 1041 genera, and ca. 21,878 species in Lamiales] The goal of this project is to produce a working infraordinal classification of the Lamiales to genus with information on distribution and species richness. All recognized taxa will be clades; adherence to Linnaean ranks is optional. Synonymy is very incomplete (comprehensive synonymy is not a goal of the project, but could be incorporated). Although I anticipate producing a publishable version of this classification at a future date, my near- term goal is to produce a web-accessible version, which will be available to the public and which will be updated regularly through input from systematists familiar with taxa within the Lamiales. For further information on the project and to provide information for future versions, please contact R. Olmstead via email at [email protected], or by regular mail at: Department of Biology, Box 355325, University of Washington, Seattle WA 98195, USA.

  • Survey of Thrips in Sri Lanka: a Checklist of Thrips Species, Their Distribution and Host Plants
    Ceylon Journal of Science (Bio. Sci.) 40 (2): 89-108, 2011 Survey of thrips in Sri Lanka: A checklist of thrips species, their distribution and host plants Kalpana Tillekaratne1,2, J.P. Edirisinghe1*, C.V.S. Gunatilleke3 and W. A. I. P. Karunaratne1 1Department of Zoology, Faculty of Science, University of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka 2Postgraduate Institute of Science, University of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka 3Department of Botany, Faculty of Science, University of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka Accepted 08 November 2011 ABSTRACT Thrips of Sri Lanka have been poorly studied despite their significance to agriculture and horticulture of the country. A survey of thrips and their host plants was conducted in several parts of Sri Lanka during 2005-2008, with a view to record the species present, their distribution, host plant relationships and damage caused. Over 1,000 plant species comprising crops, ornamental plants, weeds, shrubs, and trees were examined for thrips in 22 study sites, representing a range of habitats in nine districts covering 12 agrochemical regions of the country. Damage in plants due to thrips infestations was documented. This paper presents a list of 72 thrips species in 45 genera recorded during the survey from 324 host plant species in 83 plant families. Megalurothrips usitatus, Thrips palmi, and Haplothrips gowdeyi were the most widely distributed species. The grass infesting Haplothrips spp., several species of Thrips, Microcephalothrips abdominalis, M. usitatus and Scirtothrips dorsalis are some of the species with a large number of host records. Thrips simplex in particular was confined to the Upcountry Wet zone, while Thrips flavus was most widespread in this region and was present on almost all the vegetation.

Center, Giza, Egypt. Received: 07 August 2017 / Accepted: 24 Sept. 2017 / Publication date: 21 Oct. 2017 ABSTRACT In this study on Brunfelsia pauciflora plant shoot tips were exposed to gamma irradiation at 0, 5 and 10 Gy as gave 100% of survival percentage during in vitro multiplication. The highest values for number of shoots, number of leaves and the longest shoot were recorded after multiplication stage with exposure to 10Gy. The shoots exposed to gamma rays at the dose of 10 Gy gave the maximum values for number of roots, root length, number of leaves and the longest shoot at in vitro rooting. Application of gamma rays at 10 Gy gave vigorous growth with healthy appearance at acclimatization stage. Moreover it resulted in the highest content of chlorophyll (a and b) and the lowest content of carotenoids. Stem thickness exhibited an increase due to both doses of 5 and 10 Gy and reached maximum values over the control. However, the thickness of both upper and lower epidermis of leaves were only increased at the rate of 5 Gy over control. The true to tip between mother plant and the micropropagated plants only (sample number 1: control) had been confirmed.
