    05 in the front line 21-09-2010 11:36 am Page 1 In the front line Judy Harry Plants that grow in the front line perform many functions. They have to provide the first line of defence against careless invasions by mowers, feet, even livestock (fig. 1) They form at one and the same time the start and the finish of the border, leading the eye to statuesque and imposing plants at the rear, or allowing the eye to come to a comfortable stop at the front. Which all sounds rather prosaic, not to say functional. One of the pleasures of last year’s gardening for me was being able to see some of my ‘front liners’ with fresh eyes, not just as the useful plants they undoubtedly are, but also as the star performers they can be in their own right. It all started with the flowering of Jovellana violacea (fig. 2). Having bought it as a very small plant on the 2002 Autumn Weekend, I planted it where I could keep an eye on it. Each spring, in my ignorance, I cut it back to tidy it up, assuming that it would produce flowers later in the summer: exactly the wrong thing to do. This interesting little shrublet flowers on the previous year’s wood in early summer, and Addison © Twink with time will form a thicket of upright stems, bearing pale, whitish-mauve pouched flowers with spotted throats. My poor plant, of course, never had mature enough stems to produce so much as a spot, let alone whole pouches.

  • Here Is a Quick Explanation of How the Seed Exchange Works
    RULES OF THE SEED EXCHANGE The rules of the seed exchange have been revised in 2014, in order to make it run more smoothly, be more cost-effective (it makes a loss, so is a cost to the Society) and offer a better service. Please ensure that you READ these new rules and follow them: they are available to all so you will be deemed to know about them! INTRODUCTION Please remember that the seed exchange is basically a free service provided by the members for the members (you only pay a small charge to cover postage, stationery etc), and all work is done by volunteers. These rules are designed to make it possible to continue offering the service on the present basis; we simply do not have enough time to deal with either donations or orders which take up more time than they ought, hence the various inducements and sanctions we offer or impose. Here is a quick explanation of how the seed exchange works. Donors collect seed in their gardens as it ripens, name and package it and send it in to me before a closing date published in the magazine each year. I put all seed of the same variety into one large envelope (checking that it's what it says it is and that the name is correct as I go along), and when all the seed is in I make a list of what I have and number the envelopes to match the list. The list then goes off to press and the seeds go to the Cheshire Group to be packeted into the small individual packets in which they are sent out - over a thousand varieties, each into an average of twenty packets, and all numbered.

Native plants are plants that are indigenous to a particular area or region. In North America we are referring to the flora that existed in an area or region before European settlement. Native plants occur within specific plant communities that vary in species composition depending on the habitat in which they are found. A few examples of habitats are tidal wetlands, woodlands, meadows and dunelands.

  • Literature Cited
    Literature Cited Robert W. Kiger, Editor This is a consolidated list of all works cited in volumes 19, 20, and 21, whether as selected references, in text, or in nomenclatural contexts. In citations of articles, both here and in the taxonomic treatments, and also in nomenclatural citations, the titles of serials are rendered in the forms recommended in G. D. R. Bridson and E. R. Smith (1991). When those forms are abbre- viated, as most are, cross references to the corresponding full serial titles are interpolated here alphabetically by abbreviated form. In nomenclatural citations (only), book titles are rendered in the abbreviated forms recommended in F. A. Stafleu and R. S. Cowan (1976–1988) and F. A. Stafleu and E. A. Mennega (1992+). Here, those abbreviated forms are indicated parenthetically following the full citations of the corresponding works, and cross references to the full citations are interpolated in the list alphabetically by abbreviated form. Two or more works published in the same year by the same author or group of coauthors will be distinguished uniquely and consistently throughout all volumes of Flora of North America by lower-case letters (b, c, d, ...) suffixed to the date for the second and subsequent works in the set. The suffixes are assigned in order of editorial encounter and do not reflect chronological sequence of publication. The first work by any particular author or group from any given year carries the implicit date suffix “a”; thus, the sequence of explicit suffixes begins with “b”. Works missing from any suffixed sequence here are ones cited elsewhere in the Flora that are not pertinent in these volumes.

It is abundant and diverse, with complex taxonomic relations. In order to expand the knowledge about the classification of Kazakhstan species and compare it with classical studies, matK genes of nine local species in- cluding endemic were sequenced. The infrageneric rank of one of them (A. kotuchovii) had re- mained unknown. In this study, we analysed results of sequences using two methods — NJ and MP and compared them with a median-joining haplotype network. As a result, monophyletic origin of the genus and subgenus Dracunculus was confirmed. Closeness of A. kotuchovii to other spe- cies of Dracunculus suggests its belonging to this subgenus. Generally, matK was shown as a useful barcode marker for the identification and investigation of Artemisia genus. Key words: Artemisia, Artemisia kotuchovii, DNA barcoding, haplotype network. INTRODUCTION (Bremer, 1994; Torrel et al., 1999). Due to the large amount of species in the genus, their classification is still complex Artemisia of the family Asteraceae is a genus with great and not fully completed.
