– THE 2020 HORTICULTURE GUIDE – THE 2020 BULB & PLANT MART IS BEING HELD ONLINE ONLY AT WWW.GCHOUSTON.ORG THE DEADLINE FOR ORDERING YOUR FAVORITE BULBS AND SELECTED PLANTS IS OCTOBER 5, 2020 PICK UP YOUR ORDER OCTOBER 16-17 AT SILVER STREET STUDIOS AT SAWYER YARDS, 2000 EDWARDS STREET FRIDAY, OCTOBER 16, 2020 SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17, 2020 9:00am - 5:00pm 9:00am - 2:00pm The 2020 Horticulture Guide was generously underwritten by DEAR FELLOW GARDENERS, I am excited to welcome you to The Garden Club of Houston’s 78th Annual Bulb and Plant Mart. Although this year has thrown many obstacles our way, we feel that the “show must go on.” In response to the COVID-19 situation, this year will look a little different. For the safety of our members and our customers, this year will be an online pre-order only sale. Our mission stays the same: to support our community’s green spaces, and to educate our community in the areas of gardening, horticulture, conservation, and related topics. GCH members serve as volunteers, and our profits from the Bulb Mart are given back to WELCOME the community in support of our mission. In the last fifteen years, we have given back over $3.5 million in grants to the community! The Garden Club of Houston’s first Plant Sale was held in 1942, on the steps of The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, with plants dug from members’ gardens. Plants propagated from our own members’ yards will be available again this year as well as plants and bulbs sourced from near and far that are unique, interesting, and well suited for area gardens. -

Hosta Species Update●The Hosta Library © W. George Schmid 2006 H. kiyosumiensis F. Maekawa 1935 Jornal of Japanese Botany 11:689; ic. f. 15 1935 キヨスミギボウシ = Kyosumi Giboshi H. kiyosumiensis var. petrophila F. Maekawa 1938 Divisiones et Plantae Novae Generis Hostae (2). J. Japanese Botany, 14:1:45–49. イワマ ギボウシ = Iwama Giboshi History and Nomenclature: In Japan this species is called Kyiosumi Giboshi, the “Kiyosumi (Mountain) Hosta.” The species epithet stems from the Latinized name of Kiyosumiyama (清澄山), a small mountain (380 m/about 1250 feet AMSL with a great view of Tokyo Bay) located on Boso Peninsula (Bōsō-hantō; 房総半島), which is located in south Chiba Prefecture (Chiba-ken; 千葉県) forming the eastern edge of Tokyo Bay. Maekawa established H. kiyosumiensis in 1935 and published further on the species in 1938, when he also described a new variety of the species as H. (kiyosumiensis var.) petrophila. This varietal epithet is derived from the Latin “liking (or) growing on rocks.” The Japanese name Iwama Giboshi (イワマ ギボウシ) has the same meaning. The latter is differentiated by minor morphological details caused by its different, rocky habitat in Yamashiro province (山城国; Yamashiro-no kuni), H. kiyosumiensis Maekawa 1935 (in situ) Otogawa (男川) River; Okazaki-shi (岡崎市; formerly Nukata-cho) Aichi Prefecture (愛知県; Aichi-ken) 1 an old province of Japan (today the southern part of Kyoto Prefecture). Maekawa (1938) gave a much abbreviated Latin description and the variety is here considered synonymous with the species. In fact, Maekawa (1969) no longer supported the varietal rank. N. Fujita (1976) confirmed H. kiyosumiensis as a species and added two morphs previously described by Maekawa (1940), i.e., H. -

Determination of Bergenin in Different Parts of Bergenia Ciliata Using a Validated RP-HPLC Method
Natural Product Sciences 27(1) : 54-59 (2021) https://doi.org/10.20307/nps.2021.27.1.54 Determination of Bergenin in Different Parts of Bergenia ciliata using a Validated RP-HPLC Method Ejaz Ali1,*, Khalid Hussain1, Nadeem Irfan Bukhari1, Najma Arshad2, Amjad Hussain1, Nasir Abbas1, Sohail Arshad3, Sajida Parveen1, Naureen Shehzadi1, Shaista Qamar4, and Abida Qamar1 1Punjab University College of Pharmacy, University of the Punjab, Lahore, Pakistan 2Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, Centre for Research in Molecular Medicine, University of Lahore, Lahore, Pakistan 3Faculty of Pharmacy, Baha Uddin Zakariya University, Multan, Pakistan 4Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Lahore, Pakistan Abstract Bergenia ciliata (Family: Saxifragaceae) is a folklore remedy for the treatment of various ailments in Asian countries. Bergenin (1) has been isolated as an active constituent in many studies, however, the amount of bergenin has not been determined in all parts of the plant. A simple RP-HPLC method was developed to determine the amount of bergenin in methanol extracts of leaves, rhizomes and roots of the plant. Separation was achieved on an Agilent Eclipse XDB-C18 column maintained at 25 oC using isocratic solvent system (water: methanol: acetic acid; 62.5:37:0.5 v/v/v) adjusted at pH 2 0 at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. and detected at 275 nm. Correlation coefficient (0.9952) showed linearity of concentration (5-200 μg/mL) and response. The values of LOD (0.00947 μg/mL) and LOQ (0.02869 μg/mL) indicated that method was sensitive. The recovery of bergenin was 99.99-100% indicating accuracy of method. -
