Door zijn vertegenwoordigende rol in (inter)nationale circuits heeft hij frequent contact met collectiebeheer- specialisten in het buitenland. Hij is tevens medeoprichter van IPEN en ‘founding member’ van het Europees Consortium van Botanische Tuinen. Tevens contact-auteur ([email protected]). Hans Persoon is botanicus en werkzaam als wetenschappelijk collectiebeheerder en adjunct- directeur in de Botanische Tuinen van de Universiteit van Utrecht. Vanuit zijn automatiseringsverleden is hij goed op de hoogte van de functionele en technische aspecten van databases en de informatiestromen die daarbij horen. Hij is lid van de Collectiecommissie van de Nationale Plantencollectie en kent de meeste Nederlandse botanische tuinen goed. Als auteur van een monografie is hij goed op de hoogte van taxonomie en nomenclatuur.

  • Thai Zingiberaceae : Species Diversity and Their Uses
    URL: http://www.iupac.org/symposia/proceedings/phuket97/sirirugsa.html © 1999 IUPAC Thai Zingiberaceae : Species Diversity And Their Uses Puangpen Sirirugsa Department of Biology, Faculty of Science, Prince of Songkla University, Hat Yai, Thailand Abstract: Zingiberaceae is one of the largest families of the plant kingdom. It is important natural resources that provide many useful products for food, spices, medicines, dyes, perfume and aesthetics to man. Zingiber officinale, for example, has been used for many years as spices and in traditional forms of medicine to treat a variety of diseases. Recently, scientific study has sought to reveal the bioactive compounds of the rhizome. It has been found to be effective in the treatment of thrombosis, sea sickness, migraine and rheumatism. GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE FAMILY ZINGIBERACEAE Perennial rhizomatous herbs. Leaves simple, distichous. Inflorescence terminal on the leafy shoot or on the lateral shoot. Flower delicate, ephemeral and highly modified. All parts of the plant aromatic. Fruit a capsule. HABITATS Species of the Zingiberaceae are the ground plants of the tropical forests. They mostly grow in damp and humid shady places. They are also found infrequently in secondary forest. Some species can fully expose to the sun, and grow on high elevation. DISTRIBUTION Zingiberaceae are distributed mostly in tropical and subtropical areas. The center of distribution is in SE Asia. The greatest concentration of genera and species is in the Malesian region (Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, the Philippines and Papua New Guinea) *Invited lecture presented at the International Conference on Biodiversity and Bioresources: Conservation and Utilization, 23–27 November 1997, Phuket, Thailand.

Vol. 30, 2016-18 Flora of community managed forests of Palpa district, western Nepal Pratiksha Shrestha1, Ram Prasad Chaudhary2, Krishna Kumar Shrestha1, Dharma Raj Dangol3 1Central Department of Botany,Tribhuvan University, Kathmandu, Nepal 2Research Center for Applied Science and Technology (RECAST), Kathmandu, Nepal 3Natural History Museum, Tribhuvan University, Swayambhu, Kathmandu, Nepal ABSTRACT Floristic diversity is studied based on gender in two different management committee community forests (Barangdi-Kohal jointly managed community forest and Bansa-Gopal women managed community forest) of Palpa district, west Nepal. Square plot of 10m×10m size quadrat were laid for covering all forest areas and maintained minimum 40m distance between two quadrats. Altogether 68 plots (34 in each forest) were sampled. Both community forests had nearly same altitudinal range, aspect and slope but differed in different environmental variables and members of management committees. All the species present in quadrate and as well as outside the quadrate were recorded for analysis. There were 213 species of flowering plant belonging to 67 families and 182 genera. Barangdi-Kohal JM community forest had high species richness i.e. 176 species belonging to 64 families and 150 genera as compared to Bansa-Gopal WM community forest with 143 species belonging to 56 families and 129 genera. According to different life forms and family and genus wise jointly managed forest have high species richness than in women managed forest. Both community forests are banned for fodder, fuel wood and timber collection without permission of management comities. There is restriction of grazing in JM forest, whereas no restriction of grazing in WM forest.

Brentwood Blvd. St. Louis, Missouri 63144 [email protected] JUSTIN R. THOMAS Institute of Botanical Training, LLC 111 County Road 3260 Salem, Missouri 65560 [email protected] ABSTRACT An annotated checklist of the 2,961 vascular taxa comprising the flora of Missouri is presented, with conservatism rankings for Floristic Quality Assessment. The list also provides standardized acronyms for each taxon and information on nativity, physiognomy, and wetness ratings. Annotated comments for selected taxa provide taxonomic, floristic, and ecological information, particularly for taxa not recognized in recent treatments of the Missouri flora. Synonymy crosswalks are provided for three references commonly used in Missouri. A discussion of the concept and application of Floristic Quality Assessment is presented. To accurately reflect ecological and taxonomic relationships, new combinations are validated for two distinct taxa, Dichanthelium ashei and D. werneri , and problems in application of infraspecific taxon names within Quercus shumardii are clarified.

  • Shooting Star, Dodecatheon Meadia Shooting Stars Are a Group of Herbaceous Perennials in the Primula Family (Primulaceae)
    A Horticulture Information article from the Wisconsin Master Gardener website, posted 21 Jan 2019 Shooting star, Dodecatheon meadia Shooting stars are a group of herbaceous perennials in the primula family (Primulaceae). There are over a dozen species in the genus Dodecatheon, all native to North America. The most widespread and common one is D. meadia (sometimes classifi ed as Primula meadia), variously called shooting star, eastern shooting star, American cowslip, roosterheads, or prairie pointers. This ephemeral spring wildfl ower from central and eastern US (southern Wisconsin to western Pennsylvania and south to eastern Texas and Georgia) is generally found growing in moist meadows, prairies, and open woods in zones 4-8. It is frequently used as a garden ornamental and received the Royal Horticulture Society’s Award of Garden Merit in 1993. Shooting star blooming in spring. Basal rosettes are produced from a fi brous root system in early spring. The smooth, lance-shaped leaves up to 6” long and 2½” across are emerald to greyish green, often with a reddish base and with a prominent central vein and smooth margins. The foliage only persists into summer, with plants going dormant after that. Over time rosettes may offset, with The fl owers of D. meadia are said to resemble shooting stars. new plants developing slowly. The foliage emerges in spring (L) to form a basal rosette (C) of smooth, wavy, lance-shaped leaves (R). In mid-spring one or more thin but sturdy, green or red, leafl ess fl ower scapes up to 18 inches tall are sent up from the rosette of leaves.
