Cyclamen Purpurascens Leaf Patterning in Cyclamen purpurascens in Slovenia Jože Bavcon University Botanic Garden Ljubljana Department of Biology Biotehnical Faculty, Ižanska cesta 15 1000 Ljubljana [email protected] Introduction Very common, Cyclamen purpurascens (Mill.) the only species of this genus in Slovenia, has a wide distribution extending from the sea to high mountain areas. It grows in deciduous and mixed woods, on forest margins and higher lying mountain pastures, in high mountains also amongst rocks. Tubers of different sizes, that can get quite large with age, are sometimes to be seen on the very surface of the ground, fixed by their roots onto shallow soil or rock, whereas in other places the tuber is buried half a meter deep in the ground, then having very long floral trunks. Part of the Garden collections. Material and Methods The plants have been collected from different parts of Slovenia. Every plant is first photographed, then dug out, potted and the pot dug into the soil in the Garden. It is described as to its specific leaf pattern. Every pot is given its own locality name. The stability of the special features is checked in the course of the following year. Results and Discussion The monitoring of these plants in the same spot of the Garden has revealed that the shape, size, marbling and colouring of the underside of the leaf are stable, Different types of leaves and patterning in the nature. i.e. genetically conditioned and not dependent only on the substrate. Even the entirely green leaves, that have so far been associated with limy grounds, have kept this characteristics also in ordinary humus soil. The flower colour likewise remains stable, ranging from very light pink to very deep purple. The same is of the flower shape. Our collection focuses mainly upon collecting specimens with varying leaf patterns. References Christopher Grey-Wilson, 2002. Cyclamen: A Guide for Gardeners, Horticulturists and Botanists.

  • Outline of Angiosperm Phylogeny
    Outline of angiosperm phylogeny: orders, families, and representative genera with emphasis on Oregon native plants Priscilla Spears December 2013 The following listing gives an introduction to the phylogenetic classification of the flowering plants that has emerged in recent decades, and which is based on nucleic acid sequences as well as morphological and developmental data. This listing emphasizes temperate families of the Northern Hemisphere and is meant as an overview with examples of Oregon native plants. It includes many exotic genera that are grown in Oregon as ornamentals plus other plants of interest worldwide. The genera that are Oregon natives are printed in a blue font. Genera that are exotics are shown in black, however genera in blue may also contain non-native species. Names separated by a slash are alternatives or else the nomenclature is in flux. When several genera have the same common name, the names are separated by commas. The order of the family names is from the linear listing of families in the APG III report. For further information, see the references on the last page. Basal Angiosperms (ANITA grade) Amborellales Amborellaceae, sole family, the earliest branch of flowering plants, a shrub native to New Caledonia – Amborella Nymphaeales Hydatellaceae – aquatics from Australasia, previously classified as a grass Cabombaceae (water shield – Brasenia, fanwort – Cabomba) Nymphaeaceae (water lilies – Nymphaea; pond lilies – Nuphar) Austrobaileyales Schisandraceae (wild sarsaparilla, star vine – Schisandra; Japanese

  • Phytosociological Characteristic of the Plant Communities with the Occurrence of Endemic Species Cyclamen Fatrense
    HACQUETIA 7/1 • 2008, 21–32 DOI: 10.2478/v10028–008–0002–7 PHYTOSOCIOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTIC OF THE PLANT COMMUNITIES WITH THE OCCURRENCE OF ENDEMIC SPECIES CYCLAMEN FATRENSE Róbert KAnKA*, Peter TuRIS**, Viktória cHIloVá*** Abstract In this contribution we bring together the basic phytosociological characteristics of communities with the presence of species Cyclamen fatrense in the herb layer. The analysis was made on the basis of 30 original phytosociological relevés. The main criterion for the relevés recording was the selection of the broadest pos- sible range of biotopes with presence and the highest possible abundance of species Cyclamen fatrense on the entire area of its occurrence, which is represented by the Veľká Fatra and Starohorské vrchy Mts. The forest phytocoenoses of the association Carici albae-Fagetum Moor 1952, and phytocoenoses of clearings of the asso- ciation Epilobio-Atropetum bella-donnae R. Tx. 1931 em. 1950, were classified by using Zürich-Montpellier School method. Additionally, 18 relevés with the presence of species Cyclamen fatrense were excerpted from already published works and detailed comparison was also made. Key words: Cyclamen fatrense, endemic species, phytosociology, Carici albae-Fagetum, Epilobio-Atropetum belladon- nae, Veľká Fatra Mts, Starohorské vrchy Mts Izvleček V članku so prikazane osnovne fitosociološke značilnosti združb z vrsto Cyclamen fatrense. Analizirali smo jih na podlagi 30 originalnih popisov. Glavno merilo pri izbiri popisnih ploskev je bil izbor čim širšega obsega rastišč s prisotno vrsto Cyclamen fatrense, na celotnem območju njenega pojavljanja, ki ga predstavljata gorovji Veľká Fatra in Starohorské vrchy. Rastišča smo izbirali tam, kjer ima vrsta največjo abundanco. S standardno srednje- evropsko metodo smo gozdne združbe uvrstili v asociacijo Carici albae-Fagetum Moor 1952 in združbe posek v asociacijo Epilobio-Atropetum bella-donnae R.

By Wilhelm (Bill) Bischoff / member BC Council of Garden Clubs If you can accept that the island called Santorini in the central Mediterranean, also known as Thira / Tera, is the original Island of Atlantis; if you also can agree that this Island had a terrific volcanic explosion more than 3,000 years ago, than I can share with you an equally fantastic botanical story with you. That today’s Thira is the remnant of an exploded volcano is quite evident when one looks at a map of this region of the Mediterranean. Located as part of the Aegean Islands, just north of Crete, it shows the unmistakable shape of a water filled volcanic caldera with a center-cone island. Scientists have identified volcanic ash taken from the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea, close to the Lebanese coast, as originating from Thira. The time frame of some 3300 years ago also coincides with the beginning of a rather tumultuous time in this part of the ancient world, the end of the “Bronze Age”. The possible cause of that could well have been a natural disaster, in the very heart of the ancient world as we know it. Now that I have your attention and possibly have whetted your curiosity, let me introduce you to one of the small wonders of this very ancient world, the beautiful Cyclamen, all 22 species of them.

  • Somalia to Become the 193Rd Party To
    Communiqué SOMALIA TO BECOME THE 193RD PARTY TO THE CONVENTION ON BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY The Secretariat is pleased to announce that Somalia has deposited its instrument of accession to the Convention on Biological Diversity and will become the 193rd Party to the Convention as of 10 December 2009. As a major biodiversity hotspot in the Horn of Africa, Somalia’s accession is a major step in achieving universal membership for the Convention of Life on Earth. “This accession is also of strategic importance for the future of achieving the sustainable development objectives as we will become a full member of the international community,” said Mr. Buri Hamza, Minister of the Environment of Somalia. He further added that: “Despite the difficult circumstances facing my country, the Government of Somalia is committed to playing its full role in international efforts to achieving the objectives of the Convention.” Somalia contains a wealth of biodiversity. According to Conservation International’s Biodiversity Hotspots, hundreds of new species have been discovered in Somalia in the last 20 years, among them the Somali cyclamen (Cyclamen somalense) otherwise found only in the Mediterranean region. Mr. Ahmed Djoghlaf, Executive Secretary of the Convention, received the news while attending the pre-festival held in Aichi/Nagoya one year before the tenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties with the participation of more than 20,000 participants. Welcoming Somalia’s accession as the 193rd Party to the Convention on Biological Diversity, Mr. Djoghlaf said: “Somalia’s accession to the Convention on Biological Diversity is welcome news for the biodiversity family as a whole.

    Ravnjak et al.: Physiological response of local populations of species Cyclamen purpurascens Mill. to forest gaps - 11489 - PHYSIOLOGICAL RESPONSE OF LOCAL POPULATIONS OF SPECIES CYCLAMEN PURPURASCENS MILL. TO FOREST GAPS RAVNJAK, B.1* – BAVCON, J.1 – OSTERC, G.2 1Department of Biology, Biotechnical Faculty, University Botanic Gardens Ljubljana, Ižanska cesta 15, 1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia (phone: +386-14-271-280) 2Department of Agronomy, Biotechnical Faculty, University of Ljubljana, Jamnikarjeva 101, 1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia *Corresponding author e-mail: [email protected]; phone: +386-31-336-507 (Received 20th Apr 2019; accepted 11th Jul 2019) Abstract. Aspect of forest dynamics is also the formation of forest gaps. Certain plant species typical for understory, still persists in newly formed forest gaps. For such species, environmental conditions change significantly. In research the physiological response of local populations of Cyclamen purpurascens Mill. in forest gaps, depending on time of their formation was examined. The physiological response was measured as anthocyanin and quercetin content in cyclamen leaves, depending on forest gap and season. It was found that anthocyanin content in leaves from all gaps was statistically higher in autumn than in spring. A comparison of anthocyanin content between leaves from different gaps has shown that leaves from the youngest gap in the spring contained a statistically lowest quantity of anthocyanin malvidin 3-rutinoside, malvidin 3-glucoside, and peonidin 3-O- neoheseridoside. There were no differences between other locations. For quercetins, it was found that leaves from the youngest gap in the spring contained the highest amount of myricetin-3-rhamnoside. Conclusion is that cyclamen leaves on the youngest gap have not yet completely adapted to increased solar radiation.
