  • William Herbert (1778--1847) Scientist and Polymath, and His Contributions to Curtis's Botanical Magazine
    WILLIAM HERBERT (1778–1847) SCIENTIST AND POLYMATH, AND HIS CONTRIBUTIONS TO CURTIS’S BOTANICAL MAGAZINE Alison Rix ‘Hon. and Rev. W. Herbert, afterwards Dean of Manchester, in the fourth volume of the ‘Horticultural Transactions’, 1822, and in his work on the ‘Amaryllidaceae’ (1837, pp. 19, 339), declares that ‘horticultural experiments have established, beyond the possibility of refutation, that botanical species are only a higher and more permanent class of varieties’. He extends the same view to animals. The Dean believes that single species of each genus were created in an originally highly plastic condition, and that these have produced, chiefly by intercrossing, but likewise by variation, all our existing species’. [Preface to the third edition (1860) of On the Origin of Species,by Charles Darwin] The Hon. and Rev. William Herbert, often known as Dean Herbert, to whom Vol. 65 (1839) of Curtis’s Botanical Magazine was dedicated, was an exceptional polymath – a poet and classical scholar, linguist, reforming MP, clergyman – as well as amateur botanist and botanical artist. His best-known botanical work, illustrated with 48 of his own paintings, was the two volume work Amaryllidaceae, quoted above by Darwin. Although this extraordinary man counted botany as just one of his many interests, his output was prodigious; in addition to studying and breeding plants, such as Crocus, Gladiolus, Hippeastrum, Narcissus and Rhododendron, he also wrote and drew prolifically for journals such as Curtis’s Botanical Magazine and its rival publication, Edwards’s Botanical Register. In addition to Darwin, he corresponded with many other notable people, including Sir William Hooker and William Fox Talbot, and his letters paint a picture of a rather serious and industrious character.

  • May 2020 ---International Rock Gardener--- May 2020
    International Rock Gardener ISSN 2053-7557 Number 125 The Scottish Rock Garden Club May 2020 ---International Rock Gardener--- May 2020 Some places are able to have a little more freedom from the Covid-19 lockdown situation, but I fear it will be quite some time before we are all able to meet up again and share our enthusiasm for plants, face to face. So it is still time to be grateful for the ability of the internet to allow us the chance to maintain at least a semblance of togetherness. The best news recently has been the report from southern England that Martin Sheader is making some progress in what will likely be a long recovery from Covid-19 and his travails on a ventilator. The relief felt by his family must be boundless - we wish them all well as Martin works his way back home to his plants. Cover photo: Crocus harpkeae in habitat JJVV-022, photo Jānis Rukšāns. This month we have two short pieces from John and Anita Watson in Chile, the latest Crocus species from Jānis Rukšāns, named for a tireless researcher at the Leibniz Institute of Plant Genetics and Crop Plant Research of Gatersleben in Germany – Dr. Dörte Harpke and a report from the Beauty Slope, the Czech garden of ZZZ, otherwise known as Zdeněk Zvolánek and Zdena Kosourová . We hope you enjoy these presentations. Please remember that there are links in the www.srgc.net site to all sorts of different items, from Ian Young’s weekly Bulb Log to the Forum, which is open to all, not just SRGC members, and we also have the new Scottish Rock podcasts.

  • Srgc Bulb Log Diary
    SRGC ----- Bulb Log Diary ----- Pictures and text © Ian Young BULB LOG 09............................1st March 2017 Inside outside The pictures I use in the Bulb Log are of our garden and the plants we grow, with occasional exceptions when I may use pictures I take on my travels, so to keep up a weekly log I need interest all year round. The cover picture shows inside the bulb house with a glimpse of the flowers growing outside towards the top. The bulbs that flower through the winter months in the cold glass houses bring us a great deal of pleasure, cheer us through the dark days of winter and provide me with flowers to photograph and share with you each week. Sometimes in the winter it is hard to find enough of interest to fill out a log but at this time of the year I am spoiled for choice. There are so many bulbs currently in flower inside that my dilemma is not what I have got to show but what I should leave out - in addition the garden outside has also sprung into bloom. I save and catalogue my picture files on a weekly basis and for much of the year, like spring, there can be two or three hundred images in each. Inside - Corydalis nudicaulis just starting to show flowers with Narcissus flowers behind. See more form the bulb houses in this Bulb Log Video Diary Supplement which I uploaded last week to my YouTube channel where you will find all of my 90 videos. Galanthus ‘E A Bowles’ We grow most of our Galanthus outside but when we receive a special bulb I will grow it inside until we have at least five bulbs – then I will put some outside.

  • Hyacinthaceae
    RHSRHS PlantPlant TrialsTrials andand AwardsAwards Hyacinthaceae – little blue bulbs Melanie Dashwood Botanical Recorder, RHS Garden Wisley Brian Mathew Bulb specialist formerly botanist at Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew Bulletin Number 11 September 2005 www.rhs.org.uk RHS Trial of Hyacinthaceae – little blue bulbs Compared to the more ‘traditional’ spring- flowering bulbs, such as daffodils, crocuses The following is a guide to the most commonly cultivated genera of smaller, and snowdrops, the smaller, frost-hardy, hardy Hyacinthaceae: blue-flowered members of the Hyacinthaceae family are perhaps much 1 2 3 less familiar as garden plants. With the exception of a few of the grape hyacinths (Muscari) and squills (Scilla) most of the species in this group are uncommon in gardens, and yet when grown under the right conditions some can be of considerable garden value and interest. Amongst the many specialists on the WW WW WW Rock Garden Plant Trials Sub-committee, 4 5 6 the RHS is fortunate to have the bulb experts Brian Mathew and Chris Brickell, who enthusiastically supported the idea to conduct a trial of the smaller, hardy Hyacinthaceae. In addition to the desire to raise the profile of this interesting group of ‘little blue bulbs’, they considered that a comparative trial might shed light on some of the problems associated with the BM BM identification and naming of certain 7 8 9 species and forms of hardy Hyacinthaceae. The family Hyacinthaceae In the 1980s a botanical review of the large family Liliaceae resulted in the proposal that it should be split up into many smaller families, one of which was BM WW MS Hyacinthaceae.

  • IRG 103 Begins with a Tour of the Flowers Found in Sardinia in the Later Part of April This Year by the Orchid Hunting Photographers, Gerrit and Iep Eijkelenboom
    International Rock Gardener ISSN 2053-7557 Number 103 The Scottish Rock Garden Club July 2018 ---International Rock Gardener--- July 2018 IRG 103 begins with a tour of the flowers found in Sardinia in the later part of April this year by the orchid hunting photographers, Gerrit and Iep Eijkelenboom. They encountered good weather and were able to picture a fine range of plants in bloom. Sardinia is a large Italian island that is popular to visit and has a large range of tourist accommodation so we hope readers may be encouraged to make their own visit. Italian islands are somewhat simpler to access than Chile so perhaps not many readers will be able to see the Chilean flora for themselves. The second part of this issue of IRG features the background article by John and Anita Watson from Chile on the interesting area which shaped Alstroemeria piperata – as was indicated in the June 2018 IRG issue 102 where the species was described. Cover photo: Tristerix aphyllus, one of the scarlet mistletoes in Chile, photo John M. Watson. Anemone palmata on Sardinia Orchids and other species of Sardinia: Gerrit and Iep Eijkelenboom From the 14th of April to the 26th, my wife and I visited the island of Sardinia, primarily searching for orchids to photograph. We had chosen the right period. Most orchids were in flower at that time. The weather was fine, with temperatures up to 26 degrees. Very sunny and not too much wind. Ideal circumstances to make pictures. There are 4 well-known areas with ―findspots‖ – likely locations to find plants.
