  • Clave Para La Identificacion De Gramineas Pratenses De Asturias

FERNÁNDEZ-CARVAJAL ALVAREZ Departamento de Biología de Organismos y Sistemas. Universidad de Oviedo (Recibido el 26 de Febrero de 1991) Resumen. Se elabora una clave dicotómica para la identificación de gramíneas pratenses de Asturias, basada en caracteres morfológicos y anatómicos de hojas de innovaciones. Sumary. A dichotomous key is provided in order ro differentiate the grasses growing in meadows of Asturias, based on morfologic and anatomic characters of non-flowering shoots. INTRODUCCION En diversos tipos de estudios como, por ejemplo, los que tratan sobre los análisis de comunidades pratenses o sobre la alimentación de diversos vertebra- dos, resulta necesaria la identificación de gramíneas en estado fragmentario o en fase vegetativa pero, en cualquier caso, desprovistas de inflorescencias y flores, en cuyos caracteres se basan generalmente las claves al uso. Esta razón nos ha movido, fundamentalmente, a elaborar la presente clave basada en caracteres tanto morfológicos como anatómicos de los renuevos vegetativos. En una primera aproximación se han seleccionado las gramíneas más comu- nes en los prados y praderas asturianas, pensando en que posteriormente se comple- tará con las más raras o que aparecen en otras formaciones vegetales. MATERIAL Y METODOS Para la realización del presente trabajo se han utilizado ejemplares del Her- bario FCO y también, aunque en menor medida, material fresco. Se han llevado a cabo estudios tanto morfológicos como anatómicos en ho- jas de los renuevos vegetativos. En lo referente a los primeros se han considerado los caracteres que a conti- nuación se citan: 38 García Suárez al.: Clave gramíneas pratenses asturianas — Limbo: indumento de las caras abaxial y adaxial; márgenes.

  • Rare Plant Register
    1 BSBI RARE PLANT REGISTER Berkshire & South Oxfordshire V.C. 22 MICHAEL J. CRAWLEY FRS UPDATED APRIL 2005 2 Symbols and conventions The Latin binomial (from Stace, 1997) appears on the left of the first line in bold, followed by the authority in Roman font and the English Name in italics. Names on subsequent lines in Roman font are synonyms (including names that appear in Druce’s (1897) or Bowen’s (1964) Flora of Berkshire that are different from the name of the same species in Stace). At the right hand side of the first line is a set of symbols showing - status (if non-native) - growth form - flowering time - trend in abundance (if any) The status is one of three categories: if the plant arrived in Britain after the last ice age without the direct help of humans it is defined as a native, and there is no symbol in this position. If the archaeological or documentary evidence indicates that a plant was brought to Berkshire intentionally of unintentionally by people, then that species is an alien. The alien species are in two categories ● neophytes ○ archaeophytes Neophytes are aliens that were introduced by people in recent times (post-1500 by convention) and for which we typically have precise dates for their first British and first Berkshire records. Neophytes may be naturalized (forming self-replacing populations) or casual (relying on repeated introduction). Archaeophytes are naturalized aliens that were carried about by people in pre-historic times, either intentionally for their utility, or unintentionally as contaminants of crop seeds. Archaeophytes were typically classified as natives in older floras.

  • Drosera Rotundifolia L.): a Review
    Biology, ecology, use, conservation and cultivation of round-leaved sundew (Drosera rotundifolia L.): a review B. Baranyai and H. Joosten Institute of Botany and Landscape Ecology, Ernst-Moritz-Arndt University of Greifswald, Partner in the Greifswald Mire Centre, Greifswald, Germany _______________________________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY Drosera rotundifolia is a perennial insectivorous herb which occupies open, wet, oligotrophic habitats such as acidic bogs and poor fens, and specifically grows in Sphagnum-dominated communities. Since mediaeval times the species has been collected from natural habitats and used as a remedy for coughs and pulmonary diseases. Due to the substantial decline of Drosera habitat, the plant has been protected in most European countries since the 1980s, which means that wild D. rotundifolia has become unavailable to the pharmaceutical industry. The persistent demand has stimulated research into the cultivation of Drosera in several European countries. These studies have shown that Drosera cultivation is time-consuming and not (yet) cost-effective, and there is a need for the development of cultivation methods. This article reviews the morphology, distribution, ecology and reproduction of Drosera rotundifolia; outlines its commercial use and nature conservation requirements; and describes previous research on its propagation and cultivation. KEY WORDS: cultivation, distribution, Drosera rotundifolia, Droserae herba, Sphagnum spp. _______________________________________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTION (Lower Saxony, Germany), and this has stimulated research into whether it could be cultivated with Carnivorous plants, and especially the widespread Sphagnum. This article reviews aspects of the genus Drosera, have fascinated and inspired biology, ecology, propagation and cultivation of researchers for centuries 264. Charles Darwin’s D. rotundifolia that are relevant to the prospect of comprehensive study on Drosera 51 was followed by growing it on Sphagnum farms.

Ireland were contacted in January 2003 and asked whether they would like to participate in the Working Group to produce a new Red List. The core Working Group, from the first meeting held in February 2003, consisted of botanists in Britain who had a good working knowledge of the British and Irish flora and could commit their time and effort towards the two-year project. Other botanists who had expressed an interest but who had limited time available were consulted on an appropriate basis.
