  • Plant List 2016
    Established 1990 PLANT LIST 2016 European mail order website www.crug-farm.co.uk CRÛG FARM PLANTS • 2016 Welcome to our 2016 list hope we can tempt you with plenty of our old favourites as well as some exciting new plants that we have searched out on our travels. There has been little chance of us standing still with what has been going on here in 2015. The year started well with the birth of our sixth grandchild. January into February had Sue and I in Colombia for our first winter/early spring expedition. It was exhilarating, we were able to travel much further afield than we had previously, as the mountainous areas become safer to travel. We are looking forward to working ever closer with the Colombian institutes, such as the Medellin Botanic Gardens whom we met up with. Consequently we were absent from the RHS February Show at Vincent Square. We are finding it increasingly expensive participating in the London shows, while re-branding the RHS February Show as a potato event hardly encourages our type of customer base to visit. A long standing speaking engagement and a last minute change of date, meant that we missed going to Fota near Cork last spring, no such problem this coming year. We were pleasantly surprised at the level of interest at the Trgrehan Garden Rare Plant Fair, in Cornwall. Hopefully this will become an annual event for us, as well as the Cornwall Garden Society show in April. Poor Sue went through the wars having to have a rush hysterectomy in June, after some timely results revealed future risks.

Caldasia 43(1):49–64. doi: https://dx.doi.org/10.15446/caldasia.v43n1.84230. • Online Publishing: 9/Nov/2020 ABSTRACT This article describes the diversity and use of trees and shrubs in smallholder farming systems in three municipalities of the department of Boyacá in the Colombian Andes, and tests the relations between spe- cies richness, use, and a set of socio-economic and structural variables. We conducted ethnobotanical walks and semi-structured interviews on 24 farms to characterize all tree and shrub species. In total, we recorded 142 species with a predominance of natives (88) versus exotics (54). Species richness ranged between four and 40 (X = 25.17; SD = 10.13) per farm and was homogeneous among the municipalities (P > 0.05, Kruskal-Wallis test). We recorded 52 wild species, eight of them endemic, all representative of the surrounding native flora, of which 23 % had some type of use. Cultivated species were mostly represented by exotics that had been planted primarily as live fences, ornamentals, or edibles.

    ISSN 0065-1737 Acta Zoológica Mexicana (n.s.) 25(1): 195-198 (2009) Scientific note FIRST REPORT OF THE EXOTIC BRUCHID SPECULARIUS IMPRESSITHORAX (PIC) ON SEEDS OF ERYTHRINA CORALLOIDES DC. IN MEXICO (COLEOPTERA: BRUCHIDAE) RESUMEN. Se reporta por primera vez en México la presencia del brúquido exótico Specularius impressithorax (Pic), al cual se le encontró alimentándose de un nuevo hospedero, Erythrina coralloides DC. Se proporciona información sobre el grado de daño que provoca este insecto a las semillas de esta leguminosa. Specularius is an Old World genus, according to Kingsolver & Decelle (1979) including nine species and two subspecies; however, the genus need to be reviewed in the future. The most important species in the genus is Specularius impressithorax (Pic) because of its wide distribution and that it feeds on various species of Erythrina. The other species of Specularius feed on other legumes, except Specularius ghesquierei Decelle that feeds on unidentified species of Erythrina. The genus Erythrina is a flowering plant that is pantropic in distribution. In 1974, Krukoff & Barnaby revised the genus and recognized 105 species; latter in 1977, Gunn & Barnes described the seeds of 101 species. Neil (1988) studied the biosystematic relationships of the species and recognized 112 species. Barrera et al. (2002) mentioned that the Erythrina includes 117 species. Most of the them are used as ornamentals; however some species are used in South America as food, such as Erythrina edulis because its flowers are prepared in salads and sweets and its infusion taken for anxiety and urinary problems. In agroalimentary programs seeds are transformed into flour with high protein content.

  • Hauser Magalog | 2021/22 2021/22 | Hauser Magalog 5 Unser Leitbild
    Neuanfang – oder die Frage nach dem Warum Die Welt mit jeder Reise einen Schritt besser machen. Unser Manifest Neuanfang – oder die Frage nach dem Warum … Neuanfang? Ist es berechtigt in dieser Zeit von einem Neuanfang zu sprechen? Ich meine Ja. Wir erleben gerade eine der schwersten Krisen der letzten Jahrzehnte, die mich und meine Firma zutiefst getroffen hat. Eine Krise stellt Fragen an uns, geht an unsere Substanz. Auf was haben wir unser Haus des Lebens gebaut? Hält unsere Vision, unser Lebensentwurf? Krise kommt vom griechischen Wort krynein, was soviel wie Ent- scheidungszeit bedeutet. Krisen sind Zeiten der Ent – Täuschung – wo haben wir uns getäuscht oder täuschen lassen? Krisen sind der ultimative „reality check“ unseres Lebens. Vielleicht ging es Ihnen ähnlich in dieser Zeit? Was hat die Krise zu Ihnen gesagt, welche Antworten haben Sie gefunden? Die Frage, die diese Krise an mich gestellt hat, war die „Warum-Frage“. Warum mache ich das, was ich mache? Warum gibt es Hauser? Warum arbeite ich im Tourismus, obwohl das nie mein Wunsch war? Einige Auswüchse der Tourismusindustrie waren mir schon früh suspekt, lehne ich auch heute noch ab und ich weiß, dass auch in unserem Kundenkreis viele diese Skepsis teilen. Ich wollte mit meiner Arbeit und meinem Leben die Welt besser machen. Mir war es immer wichtig einen Beitrag zu leisten, auch wenn das vielleicht naiv und pathe- tisch klingt. Aber die letzten Wochen haben mir gezeigt, dass dieses Bedürfnis zutiefst in mir steckt und mich stetig antreibt. Das war auch immer mein Wunsch mit Hauser Exkursionen. Wir als Team erleben gerade mehr denn je was uns antreibt und worauf es uns ankommt: Zusammenhalt, das Gespräch mit Ihnen, die Hoffnung in die Zukunft.

  • The Foods and Crops of the Muisca: a Dietary Reconstruction of the Intermediate Chiefdoms of Bogotá (Bacatá) and Tunja (Hunza), Colombia
    THE FOODS AND CROPS OF THE MUISCA: A DIETARY RECONSTRUCTION OF THE INTERMEDIATE CHIEFDOMS OF BOGOTÁ (BACATÁ) AND TUNJA (HUNZA), COLOMBIA by JORGE LUIS GARCIA B.A. University of Central Florida, 2005 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Anthropology in the College of Sciences at the University of Central Florida Orlando, Florida Spring Term 2012 Major Professor: Arlen F. Chase ABSTRACT The Muisca people of the Eastern Cordillera of Colombia had an exceptionally complex diet, which is the result of specific subsistence strategies, environmental advantages, and social restrictions. The distinct varieties of microclimates, caused by the sharp elevations in this part of the Andes, allows for a great biodiversity of plants and animals that was accessible to the native population. The crops of domesticated and adopted plants of the Muisca include a wide variety of tubers, cereals, fruits, and leaves that are described in detail in this thesis. The Muisca used an agricultural method known as microverticality where the different thermic floors are utilized to grow an impressive variety of species at various elevations and climates. This group also domesticated the guinea pig, controlled deer populations and possibly practiced pisiculture, patterns that are also described in this text. Some of the foods of the Muisca were restricted to specific social groups, such as the consumption of deer and maize by the chiefly classes and the consumption of roots and tubers by the lower class, hence the complexity of their dietary practices. The utensils utilized in the preparation and processing of foods, including ceramics and stone tools were once of extreme importance in the evolution of the Muisca diet and form an important part of this research as well as the culinary methods that are described in the Spanish chronicles and by contemporary experts.
