  • Las Especies Del Género Alyogyne Alef. (Malvaceae, Malvoideae) Cultivadas En España
    Las especies del género Alyogyne Alef. (Malvaceae, Malvoideae) cultivadas en España © 2008-2019 José Manuel Sánchez de Lorenzo-Cáceres www.arbolesornamentales.es El género Alyogyne Alef. comprende arbustos perennes, con indumento denso o de pelos esparcidos, con las hojas alternas, pecioladas, enteras, palmatilobadas o muy divididas, con estípulas diminutas y caedizas. Las flores son solitarias, axilares, sobre pedicelos largos y articulados. El epicáliz posee 4-10(-12) segmentos unidos en la base; el cáliz consta de 5 sépalos, más largos que el epicáliz, y la corola es más o menos acampanada, regular, formada por 5 pétalos obovados de color blan- co, rosa, lila o púrpura, adnatos a la base de la columna estaminal, cubiertos de pelos estrellados externamente. El androceo posee numerosos estambres (50-100) dispuestos en verticilos, con los filamentos unidos formando una columna que rodea al estilo, y las anteras uniloculares, dehiscentes por suturas longitudinales. El gineceo posee un ovario súpero, con 3-5 lóculos, cada uno de los cuales encierra 3-10 rudimentos seminales. Los estilos están unidos casi hasta el ápice, dividiéndose finalmente en 5 estigmas. El fruto es una cápsula dehis- cente por 3-5 valvas, conteniendo numerosas semillas (3-50) de pequeño tamaño, reniformes o globosas, glabras o pelosas. El nombre procede del griego alytos = unido y gyne = mujer, en alu- sión a los estilos unidos. Según Lewton (1915), el nombre debería ser Allogyne, del griego állos = otro, diferente y gyne = mujer, hembra, en alusión a la diferencia con Hibiscus en cuanto a los estilos. Realmente esta es la gran diferencia con el género Hibiscus, donde los estilos se separan por debajo de los estigmas, mientras que en Alyogyne están unidos justo hasta llegar a los estig- mas, momento en que se dividen.

    AUSTRALIAN NATIVE PLANT SOCIETY HIBISCUS AND RELATED GENERA STUDY GROUP JULY 2012 NEWSLETTER No. 26 : ISSN 1488-1488 In this newsletter we are looking at Hibiscus meraukensis, which is the most common species found throughout tropical Australia. It has a long history dating right back to Captain Cook’s voyage along the Australian east coast during 1770. 1 The Captain Cook image + vest image on the cover page accompanied a news article written by Suzanne Dorfield appearing in the Courier – Mail Newspaper last September. It was reported that the 18 th century vest was made by James Cook’s wife, Elizabeth for her husband’s return to England and is embroided with Cape York Hibiscus flowers. David Hockings and myself looked at an enlargement of the image and decided that the Hibiscus was most likely Hibiscus meraukensis . Experts believe that she looked at drawings of the flowers by Joseph Banks from the ships landings, making it a rare piece of Queensland’s history. This important artefact was put up for auction in New Zealand and was apparently ‘passed in’. The second image depicts Hibiscus meraukensis on an Australian postage stamp issued on 12 th March 1986. Spring Meeting Planning is underway for a Study Group Meeting on Saturday 29 th of September. Beverley Kapernick of 188 Allen Road, Chatsworth, Gympie 4570 has kindly offered to host this meeting. Please try and arrive between 10 and 10.30 am. She has proposed a BBQ lunch at $5.00 per head to follow on from a short meeting in the morning. Please bring salads or sweets.

  • Going to Sustainable
    GOING TO SUSTAINABLE Lowering Landscape and Garden Maintenance Including Better Ways to Water and How to Save Water © Joseph L. Seals, 2008, 2009 Copyright Joseph L. Seals, 2008, 2009 LOWERING MAINTENANCE REDUCING MAINTENANCE IN THE PLANNING STAGES Unfortunately, maintenance of the landscape is often assumed or overlooked during the planning and design phase of a project 1) Keep the planting design simple. The more elaborate the plan and planting -- Numbers of plants, variety of plants, -- less than simple lines and shapes -- … the more maintenance is required. For instance, lawn areas need to be plotted so that mowing, edging and periodic maintenance can be accomplished easily. -- Avoid tight angles and sharp corners. -- wide angles, gentle, sweeping curves, and straight lines are much easier to mow. -- Make certain each plant in the plan serves a purpose. 2) Select the right plant for the right place We all know that there are “sun plants” for sunny spots and “shade plants” for shady spots. And we don’t plant “sun plants” in shade nor do we plant “shade plants” in sun. And some of us know that there are drought-tolerant plants that like dry soil and little water -- and there are moisture-loving plants that like their feet wet. And we don’t mix those up either. Such “mix ups” result in everything from the obvious: outright death of the plant involved to a subtly stressed plant that shows various symptoms of “disease” -- whether it’s an actual organism or a physiological condition. Copyright Joseph L. Seals, 2008, 2009 Every time you push a plant beyond its natural adaptations, abilities, and tolerances, you invite problems and you invite higher maintenance When choosing the right plant, start with THE BIG PICTURE: We have a Mediterranean climate.
