Botanical garden: A place where plants are collected and displayed for scientific, educational and artistic purposes. Fertilization: The union of male sperm cells and female egg cells. Filament: The stalk of the stamen. Flower: The reproductive structure of an angiosperm. Fruit: A ripened ovary conaining seeds. Nectar: The sweet liquid produced by flowers to attract pollinators. Ovary: The hollow compartment at the base of the pistil which contains ovules. It develops into a fruit containing seeds. Ovules: The structures in a flower ovary that can develop into seeds. Pistil: The female part of a flower; stigma, style, and ovary. Pollen: A yellow, powder-like material containing sperm cells.

    Garden Mastery Tips March 2006 from Clark County Master Gardeners

    Garden Mastery Tips March 2006 from Clark County Master Gardeners Flowering Quince Flowering quince is a group of three hardy, deciduous shrubs: Chaenomeles cathayensis, Chaenomeles japonica, and Chaenomeles speciosa. Native to eastern Asia, flowering quince is related to the orchard quince (Cydonia oblonga), which is grown for its edible fruit, and the Chinese quince (Pseudocydonia sinensis). Flowering quince is often referred to as Japanese quince (this name correctly refers only to C. japonica). Japonica is often used regardless of species, and flowering quince is still called Japonica by gardeners all over the world. The most commonly cultivated are the hybrid C. superba and C. speciosa, not C. japonica. Popular cultivars include ‘Texas Scarlet,’ a 3-foot-tall plant with red blooms; ‘Cameo,’ a double, pinkish shrub to five feet tall; and ‘Jet Trail,’ a white shrub to 3 feet tall. Flowering quince is hardy to USDA Zone 4 and is a popular ornamental shrub in both Europe and North America. It is grown primarily for its bright flowers, which may be red, pink, orange, or white. The flowers are 1 to 2 inches in diameter, with five petals, and bloom in late winter or early spring. The glossy dark green leaves appear soon after flowering and turn yellow or red in autumn. The edible quince fruit is yellowish-green with reddish blush and speckled with small dots. The fruit is 2 to 4 inches in diameter, fragrant, and ripens in fall. The Good The beautiful blossoms of flowering quince Flowering quince is an easy-to-grow, drought-tolerant shrub that does well in shady spots as well as sun (although more sunlight will produce better flowers).

    Scientific update on the iodine content of Portuguese foods Scientific update on the iodine content of Portuguese foods Abstract Iodine is an essential trace element in human and animal diets. However, mild to moderate iodine deficiency has been reported in several countries. Food is the natural source of iodine. Detectable analytical values, expressed in SI units (μg/kg), are required to guarantee reliable measurement results used to estimate iodine intake over time at national and international level. The aim of this work, conducted as an activity of the WHO Collaborating Centre for Nutrition and Childhood Obesity, was to develop a database of the iodine content of foods in order to predict nutritional adequacy of dietary intake. This database may be used as a tool to promote iodine intake through consumption of foods rich in iodine.

ZIKA2,* 1 Cornhill Cottage, Honeycritch Lane, Froxfield, Petersfield, Hampshire, GU32 1BE, England. 2 WTU Herbarium, Box 355325, University of Washington, Seattle, WA 98195-5325, USA. * Author for Correspondence, Email: [email protected] Abstract The binomial Cotoneaster symondsii was published eight years earlier than Cotoneaster simonsii. Some authors have argued that Cotoneaster simonsii should be synonymized under Cotoneaster symondsii, based on priority. Foliar characters provided in the protologue of Cotoneaster symondsii are not a good match for Cotoneaster simonsii. In the absence of original material, a neotype is chosen for Cotoneaster symondsii, in accordance with its protologue, which places it in synonymy with Cotoneaster marginatus. Key words: Cotoneaster subgenus Chaenopetalum, Himalaya, India, nomenclature The binomial Cotoneaster symondsii Moore (1861: 298) was validly published but the original material that formed the basis of the description remains unfound. We were unable to locate any herbarium specimens collected by or seen by Moore when describing C. symondsii. The British Museum received Moore's types and most of his collections that were not ferns (Stafleu & Cowan 1981). We have searched AK, B, BM, CAM, DBN, E, K, KIEV, HILL, OXF, P, WAG, and a number of additional herbaria, but unsuccessfully, and did not find any collections from circa 1860 labeled Cotoneaster symondsii. Moore's (1861) protologue reads: "from Mr. Standish, Bagshot.

  • Ceratostigma

    Ceratostigma

    Ceratostigma Ceratostigma (/ˌsɛrətoʊˈstɪɡmə, sɪˌræ-/), or leadwort, plumbago, is a genus of eight species of flowering plants in the family Plumbaginaceae, native to warm temperate to tropical regions of Africa and Asia. Common names are shared with the genus Plumbago. They are flowering herbaceous plants, subshrubs, or small shrubs growing to 0.3–1 m (0.98– 3.28 ft) tall. The leaves are spirally arranged, simple, 1–9 cm long, usually with a hairy margin. Some of the species are evergreen, others deciduous. The flowers are produced in a compact inflorescence, each flower with a five-lobed corolla; flower colour varies from pale to dark blue to red-purple. The fruit is a small bristly capsule containing a single seed. Selected species Ceratostigma plumbaginoides (Bunge) Ceratostigma willmottianum Stapf Cultivation and uses Plants of this genus are valued in the garden for their late summer flower colour and their autumn leaf colour. The following varieties have gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit (confirmed 2017): Ceratostigma has been listed as one of the 38 plants that are used to prepare Bach flower remedies, a kind of alternative medicine promoted for its effect on mental and emotional health. Ceratostigma plumbaginoides, commonly called plumbago or leadwort, is a wiry, mat-forming perennial which spreads by rhizomes to form an attractive ground cover. Typically grows 6-10" tall on generally erect stems rising from the rhizomes. Oval to obovate, shiny, medium green leaves (to 2" long) turn bronze-red in autumn. Terminal clusters of 5-petaled, gentian blue flowers (1/2 to 3/4" diameter) appear above the foliage over a long summer to frost bloom period.
