These initial rules will be superseded by New Rules during the course of play, but this card should remain on the table at all times. The Basic Rules are: draw 1 card per turn and play 1 card per turn (with no other restrictions such as Hand or Keeper Limits). NEW RULE: To play a New Rule place it face up near the Basic Rules.

    HADDON HALL’S POEMS NINETEENTH CENTURY SENTIMENTS DAVID TRUTT Copyright © David Trutt 2007 All rights reserved. Haddon Hall’s Dorothy Vernon - The Story Of The Legend was published in 2006. The following people were very helpful during the formation of this book: Sandra Trutt provided much needed help and support. Kendra Spear digitized various engravings. Alastair Scrivener pointed out the use of the Haddon Hall illustration for the poem In The Olden Time. His Buxton bookshop has been the source of many hard-to-find books on Derbyshire and its environs. Revised October 2010: Pages 4, 6, 124 to reflect that the author of “A Legend of Haddon Hall” was John James Robert Manners 7th Duke of Rutland, and not as indicated, John Henry Manners 5th Duke of Rutland, his father.

Orientação: Prof. Dr. Diego Demarco São Paulo 2017 1 Abstract Apocynaceae presents the flowers with the highest degree of synorganization among the eudicots and highly elaborated pollination mechanisms associated with the high diversity of glands. The osmophore stands out as responsible to produce a floral scent which attracts pollinators and, despite its fundamental relevance for pollination, its structure and mechanism of production and release of the perfume is essentially unknown in Apocynaceae. This present work aims to characterize morphologically and ultrastructurally the osmophores of Apocynaceae, besides chemically identifying the compounds that constitute the floral scent. Species from two subfamilies were selected to describe the diversity of osmophores and types of scent in the family. The osmophores were firstly located histochemically and, later, this region was processed for transmission electron microscopy. Micromorphological analysis was performed by scanning electron microscopy, and the identification of volatile oils made by GC-MS. Osmophores are located on the adaxial surface of the free portion of the petals. They varied in the shape of epidermal cells, striation of the cuticle and presence of trichomes. This gland is mostly formed by secretory epidermis and parenchyma, except in Plumeria, where the osmophores are exclusively epidermal. The secretory cells presented thick walls in the Asclepiadoideae and secretion produced by plastids and SER in all species.

  • Colonial Garden Plants
    COLONIAL GARD~J~ PLANTS I Flowers Before 1700 The following plants are listed according to the names most commonly used during the colonial period. The botanical name follows for accurate identification. The common name was listed first because many of the people using these lists will have access to or be familiar with that name rather than the botanical name. The botanical names are according to Bailey’s Hortus Second and The Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture (3, 4). They are not the botanical names used during the colonial period for many of them have changed drastically. We have been very cautious concerning the interpretation of names to see that accuracy is maintained. By using several references spanning almost two hundred years (1, 3, 32, 35) we were able to interpret accurately the names of certain plants. For example, in the earliest works (32, 35), Lark’s Heel is used for Larkspur, also Delphinium. Then in later works the name Larkspur appears with the former in parenthesis. Similarly, the name "Emanies" appears frequently in the earliest books. Finally, one of them (35) lists the name Anemones as a synonym. Some of the names are amusing: "Issop" for Hyssop, "Pum- pions" for Pumpkins, "Mushmillions" for Muskmellons, "Isquou- terquashes" for Squashes, "Cowslips" for Primroses, "Daffadown dillies" for Daffodils. Other names are confusing. Bachelors Button was the name used for Gomphrena globosa, not for Centaurea cyanis as we use it today. Similarly, in the earliest literature, "Marygold" was used for Calendula. Later we begin to see "Pot Marygold" and "Calen- dula" for Calendula, and "Marygold" is reserved for Marigolds.
