  • Rare Plant Monitoring 2017
    RARE PLANT MONITORING 2017 Ajuga pyramidalis Ophrys insectifera © Zoe Devlin What is it? In 2017, we decided to carry out a small pilot scheme on rare plant monitoring. Where experienced plant recorders had submitted recent casual records of rare plants to the Centre, they were asked if they would be willing to visit their rare plant population once a year during its flowering period and to count the total number of individuals present. The response to the scheme from the small number of recorders contacted has been overwhelming positive and it has resulted in very valuable data being collected in 2017. Data on the rare plant location, the count and additional information about the site is submitted online through a dedicated web portal set up by the Data Centre. The project was discussed and agreed with the NPWS. It is framed around the 2016 Vascular Plant Red List and is mainly focused on monitoring vulnerable, near threatened and rare least concern species. Why is it important? When assessing the national FAST FACTS 2017 conservation status of very rare species according to IUCN Red List methodology, it is recommended that 37 you use annual population count data. That’s the total number of rare plant Given the numbers of rare plant populations that were monitored in the species a country might have, this 2017 pilot information can be difficult to collect in any volume. This citizen science project relies on the generosity of 22 expert volunteers to ‘keep an eye’ on That’s the number of rare plant species rare populations near them and to that were monitored in 2017 submit standardised count data once a year.

  • Conservation Gaps in Traditional Vegetables Native to Europe and Fennoscandia

The current study analyzed 35 vegetables with a European region of diversity with the effort to map the conservation status in Fennoscandia and beyond. We mapped georeferenced occurrences and current genebank holdings based on global databases and conducted conservation gaps analysis based on representativeness scores in situ and ex situ. Out of the 35 target species, 19 got at a high priority score for further conservation initiatives, while another 14 species got a medium priority score. We identified a pattern where traditional vegetables are poorly represented in genebank holdings. This corresponds well to a lack of attention in the scientific community measured in number of published papers. Considering the grand challenges ahead in terms of climate change, population growth and demand for sustainability, traditional vegetables deserve greater attention. Our contribution is to provide a basis for conservation priorities among the identified vegetables species native to Fennoscandia. Keywords: crop wild relatives; ecosystem services; ensemble models; genetic diversity; plant genetic resources; species distribution models 1.

Stephens2 This cabbage-like plant is easily confused with sea-kale Description (Crambe maritima) due to the similarity of common names. The plant resembles a thick-stemmed collard with large Sea-kale cabbage is classified as one of the Savoy cabbages, floppy leaves. It is reported to form a loose head, but in meaning its leaves are crinkled rather than smooth. Other Florida trials it remained open. Leaves are close together, names for it are couve tronchuda, Braganza cabbage, and round, smooth, and slightly notched at the margins. Portugal cabbage. Culture Sea-kale cabbage should be grown at the same time of the year and by the same methods proven successful for other forms of cabbage. Frost does not bother it, and the lack of cold weather probably was the cause for its failure to form a head in Gainesville, FL. In the Florida trials it was attacked by cabbage worms, notably cabbage loopers and imported cabbage worms. Use Prepare and serve sea-kale cabbage as a cooking green. Figure 1.

  • Perennial Vegetables Have Many Pros and Cons As Compared to Annual
    Perennial vegetables have many pros and cons as compared to annual veggies, I will list some basic ideas, but the important thing to remember is that its not a either / or question, you can and should just have both annuals and perennials. Pros: Easy to care for / manage, greatly reduced soil disturbance, prime harvest season often at a time when annuals are not available in this climate, drought tolerant, shade tolerant, provide habitat and food for beneficial insects... etc. Cons: Often not as productive per area as annuals, if weeds get established they usually need to be hand pulled, some take 1-3 years to get established enough to harvest, often less familiar then annuals they can be hard to market or work into you diet. The landscape you inhabit may already be full of perennial vegetables, here are some examples: Common Name (Botanical Notes: name): Dandelion (Taraxacum Whole plant edible. My favorite part is the flowers. Highly nutritious. officinale) Hosta (Hosta spp.) Leaves and green seed pods edible. Spring shoots are excellent cooked like asparagus. Leaves get tough shortly after unfurling from shoot. Clover (Trifolium spp.) Leaves and flowers edible. Leaves are a bit on the tough side, but i find the flowers of red clover to be quite palatable. Kids like to suck the nectar from individual florets. Milkweed (Asclepias syriaca) Edible shoots, flowers, young pods. Needs to be cooked. Read up on details before eating, but easy to collect and delicious. Host plant for Monarch butterfly caterpillars. Violets (Viola spp.) Edible leaves and flowers. The flowers add some great color to salads.

  • Southern Garden History Plant Lists
    Southern Plant Lists Southern Garden History Society A Joint Project With The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation September 2000 1 INTRODUCTION Plants are the major component of any garden, and it is paramount to understanding the history of gardens and gardening to know the history of plants. For those interested in the garden history of the American south, the provenance of plants in our gardens is a continuing challenge. A number of years ago the Southern Garden History Society set out to create a ‘southern plant list’ featuring the dates of introduction of plants into horticulture in the South. This proved to be a daunting task, as the date of introduction of a plant into gardens along the eastern seaboard of the Middle Atlantic States was different than the date of introduction along the Gulf Coast, or the Southern Highlands. To complicate maters, a plant native to the Mississippi River valley might be brought in to a New Orleans gardens many years before it found its way into a Virginia garden. A more logical project seemed to be to assemble a broad array plant lists, with lists from each geographic region and across the spectrum of time. The project’s purpose is to bring together in one place a base of information, a data base, if you will, that will allow those interested in old gardens to determine the plants available and popular in the different regions at certain times. This manual is the fruition of a joint undertaking between the Southern Garden History Society and the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. In choosing lists to be included, I have been rather ruthless in expecting that the lists be specific to a place and a time.

Three of the species (Alisma wahlenbergii, Isoëtes echinospora, Myrica gale) are listed in the Red Data Book of the Russian Federation (2008), 13 species (Allium schoenoprasum, Centaurium littorale, Crambe maritima, Chamaepericlymenum suecicum, Drosera intermedia, Isatis tinctoria, Juncus stygius, Najas marina, Ruppia brachypus, Scutellaria hastifolia, Trichophorum cespitosum, Tripolium pannonicum, Woodsia ilvensis) – in the Red Data Book of the Leningrad Region (2018), and one species (Viola uliginosa) – in the Red Data Book of St. Petersburg (2018). The largest population of the Baltic endemic plant Alisma wahlenbergii (ca. 5000–5500 individuals) in the Gulf of Finland was found near Ozerki village. Crambe maritima was found for the first time on the mainland coast of the Gulf of Finland in Russia. Besides the mentioned red-listed species, new localities of Persicaria mitis and Zizania aquatic, rare in the Leningrad Region, were found.
