It is a part of the university and it represents its scientific and pedagogical workplace. At present, it is the largest botanical garden in Slovakia with an area of 30 ha and 3500 m2 of greenhouses. The Botanical Garden is a large green area of the metropolis of eastern Slovakia, the town of Košice. It lies in the geomorphological unit Košická kotlina basin, the main entrance is on Mánesova street no. 23, coordinates N 48°44´07´´ E 21°14´20´´. According to our latest own records (in 2008-2019), the average annual temperature at this place is 10.8° C, average temperature in January: - 1.08° C, average temperature in July: 21.3° C, average annual precipitation 531 mm. Compared to the older data, it can be stated that the average temperature in this area has increased slightly in recent years and the total precipitation is lower. The collection fund of the botanical garden consists of plants naturally occurring in the area and other cultivated plants originating from all phytogeographical regions of the world, as well as a wide range of man-made cultivars. There is the largest collection of cacti and cycads in Slovakia, unique orchids or rare specimens of various tropical and subtropical plants, as well as attractions in the form of "living fossils" such as Wollemia, Ginkgo and Sequoiadendron. 652 plant species endangered according to CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) are grown in the botanical garden as well as 39 autochtonous plant species protected by Slovak law. According to the current revision in this catalogue, there are 4136 species, subspecies and cultivars of plants in the collections of the botanical garden. However, this number varies in individual years, as the collections are enriched by further plants, but there is also a natural loss. Plant nomenclature in this catalogue is in accordance with the database (unpublished so far) of J. Kliment from the Botanical Garden of the Commenius University in Bratislava, workplace in Blatnica (Kliment, ined.) and according to the web databases International Plant Name Index (IPNI, www.ipni.org) and Plants of the World online (POWO, http://www.plantsoftheworldonline.org/). Each entry in this catalogue consists of specific or infraspecific name of plant, in the case of cultivars their designation in the sense of ICNCP - International Code for the Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants (9th edition, 2016). The localization column shows the location of the species in the botanical garden: 1 - Department of Tropical and Subtropical Flora, 2 - Department of Arboretum, 3 – Department of Ornamental Flora and Utility plants, 4 – Department of Original Flora and Documentation.

He was not in mourning from the Crows loss. Margaret and I were giving the main talk on a visit to northern NSW and these days when we do such visits we are often asked for advice on names, never on culture. I wonder why? As such the meeting was on a querying note, where members had to have their brains in gear.

However, pharmacological studies evidence its therapeutic potential for the treatment of several diseases and promising use as compounds with analgesic-like action. Considering that pain affects a significant part of the world population and the need for the development of new analgesics, this review reports on the current studies of essential oils’ chemical constituents with analgesic-like activity, including a description of their mechanisms of action and chemical aspects. Keywords: analgesic; antinociceptive; terpenes; phenylpropanoid; natural products; medicinal plants; aromas; flavor; volatile; food 1. Introduction Constituents of essential oils are commonly found in foods giving characteristic aroma and flavor. Several plants and their fruits can be recognized by the aroma provided by volatile substances, which are generally alcohols, aldehyde ketones, esters, hydrocarbons, phenols, among other chemical classes.

Abstract An updated inventory of the Bromeliaceae for Costa Rica is presented including citations of representa- tive specimens for each species. The family comprises 18 genera and 198 species in Costa Rica, 32 spe- cies being endemic to the country. Additional 36 species are endemic to Costa Rica and Panama. Only 4 of the 8 bromeliad subfamilies occur in Costa Rica, with a strong predominance of Tillandsioideae (7 genera/150 spp.; 75.7% of all bromeliad species in Costa Rica).

Academic Editor: Reinhard Länger Received: 18 August 2015; Accepted: 27 May 2016; Published: 27 May 2016 Abstract: The value of root and rhizome anatomy for the taxonomic characterisation of 59 species classified into 34 genera and 12 subtribes from the Asteraceae tribes Cardueae and Cichorieae was assessed. In addition, the evolutionary history of anatomical characters was reconstructed using a nuclear ribosomal DNA sequence-based phylogeny of the Cichorieae. Taxa were selected with a focus on pharmaceutically relevant species. A binary decision tree was constructed and discriminant function analyses were performed to extract taxonomically relevant anatomical characters and to infer the separability of infratribal taxa, respectively. The binary decision tree distinguished 33 species and two subspecies, but only five of the genera (sampled for at least two species) by a unique combination of hierarchically arranged characters. Accessions were discriminated—except for one sample worthy of discussion—according to their subtribal affiliation in the discriminant function analyses (DFA). However, constantly expressed subtribe-specific characters were almost missing and even in combination, did not discriminate the subtribes.

In this study, we aimed to determine the factors influencing nest site selection during nest relocation which is regularly promoted by hurricanes in this area. Using ants with and without previous experience of Ae. bracteata, we tested their preference for refuges consisting of Ae. bracteata leaves over two other bromeliads, Ae. bromeliifolia and Ananas comosus. We further evaluated bromeliad-associated traits that could influence nest site selection (form and size). Workers with and without previous contact with Ae. bracteata significantly preferred this species over others, suggesting the existence of an innate attraction to this bromeliad. However, preference was not influenced by previous contact with Ae. bracteata. Workers easily discriminated between shelters of Ae. bracteata and A.

Synonymy, nomenclature and origin of plant material were sorted. The lists of species grown in the last 122 years are constructed in such a way as to show that throughout that period at least 1423 taxa of succulent plants from 254 genera and 17 families inhabited the Garden’s cold glass- house collection.

  • An Alphabetical List of Bromeliad Binomials
    AN ALPHABETICAL LIST OF BROMELIAD BINOMIALS Compiled by HARRY E. LUTHER The Marie Selby Botanical Gardens Sarasota, Florida, USA ELEVENTH EDITION Published by the Bromeliad Society International June 2008 ii INTRODUCTION TO EDITION XI This list is presented as a spelling guide for validly published taxa accepted at the Bromeliad Identification Center. The list contains the following information: 1) Genus number (the left-hand number) based on the systematic sequence published in the Smith & Downs monograph: Bromeliaceae (Flora Neotropica, number 14, parts 1-3; 1974, 1977, 1979). Whole numbers are as published in the monograph. 2) Species number (the second number) according to its systematic position in the monograph. Note: Taxa not included in the monograph or that have been reclassified have been assigned numbers to reflect their systematic position within the Smith & Downs framework (e.g., taxon 14.1 is related to taxon 14). The utility of this method is that one may assume for example that Tillandsia comarapaensis (150.2) is related to T. didisticha (150) and therefore may have certain horticultural qualities in common with that species. 3) Genus and species names follow the respective numbers. 4) Subspecific taxa (subspecies, varieties, forms) names are indented below the species names. Note: Variety "a" (the type variety) is not listed unless it contains a form (see Aechmea caudata ). Similarly, the type form is not listed. 5) Author name follows the specific and subspecific names. These names are included for the convenience of specialist users of the list. This list does not contain publication data or synonymy, as it is not our intent for it to be a technical nomenclatural guide.
