  • Systematic Treatment of Veronica L
    eISSN: 2357-044X Taeckholmia 38 (2018): 168-183 Systematic treatment of Veronica L. Section Beccabunga (Hill) Dumort (Plantaginaceae) Faten Y. Ellmouni1, Mohamed A. Karam1, Refaat M. Ali1, Dirk C. Albach2 1Department of Botany, Faculty of Science, Fayoum University, 63514 Fayoum, Egypt. 2Institute of biology and environmental sciences, Carl von Ossietzky-University, 26111 Oldenburg, Germany. *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract Veronica species mostly occur in damp fresh water places and in the Mediterranean precipitation regime. Members of this genus grow at different altitudes from sea level to high alpine elevations. They show a high level of polymorphism and phenotypic plasticity in their responses to variations of the enviromental factors, a quality that allows them to occur over a wide range of conditions. A group with particular high levels of polymorphism is the group of aquatic Veronica L. species in V. sect. Beccabunga (Hill) Dumort. Here, we attempt to unravel some confusion in the taxonomic complexity in V. section Beccabunga. We recognize 20 taxa in V. sect. Beccabunga and explore the occurrence of V. section Beccabunga, mainly in the Mediterranean basin; especially in Egypt (Nile delta and Sinai), Turkey and Iran with each country containing 10 taxa, from a total of 20 taxa, and characterized by endemics, or near-endemic as Veronica anagalloides ssp. taeckholmiorum.The results confirmed that V. section Beccabunga is divided into three subsections Beccabunga, Anagallides and Peregrinae, which essentially can be differentiated by the absence or presence of apetiole. Keywords: Morphological key, systematic treatment, Veronica, V. section Beccabunga Introduction The tribe Veroniceae, formerly part of the genus include: life-form (subshrubby/perennial vs.

  • A Fine-Textured Evergreen
    Hebe By Sheri Hunter October 14, 2016 A fine-textured evergreen Wondering how to add winter interest in your garden without sacrificing space to a plant that never blooms? Perhaps you prefer the low maintenance of evergreens yet want to diversify leaf form or color in your plant palette. Hebe is a plant that may accomplish these aims. A fine-textured evergreen from the southern hemisphere and member of the plantain family Plantaginaceae, Hebe are native only in a few regions of the world. Most Hebe brought to the Pacific Northwest have been introduced from New Zealand, but several others originate from the west coast of South America, Rapa in French Polynesia, and the Falklands. Hebe relatives may surprise you: toadflax, snapdragons, plantain, penstemon and foxglove. Recently reclassified as a division of the larger genus Veronica, Hebe most nearly resemble its relatives when in bloom, when its common name “shrubby Veronica” becomes self-evident. Among the genus are 33 cultivars awarded garden merit by the Royal Horticultural Society in England—and with good reason. Like all evergreen plants, Hebe serve nicely to define garden architecture, particularly in winter. In summer, its formal habit offers a pleasing contrast in a community of less tidy neighbors. While some Hebe reach proportions of small shrubs, many Hebe are diminutive in size. Those just 12-36” in diameter and height make ideal choices for small spaces or as low hedging. Hebe adapt well in certain microclimates with challenging conditions. Able to withstand salt- laden winds and sandy soil, equally well-suited to rock and clay soil, Hebe root happily in coastal environments and rock gardens.

  • Garden Mastery Tips April 2006 from Clark County Master Gardeners
    Garden Mastery Tips April 2006 from Clark County Master Gardeners Hebe Scrophulariaceae Hebe may be one of the most overlooked of the flowering evergreen shrubs. Attractive foliage, showy flowers, and a long blooming season make hebe a welcome addition to just about any garden. The tightly packed leaves are deep green or variegated, and the flower spikes come in various shades of violet, pink, and white. This beautiful compact plant is named after Hebe, the Goddess of Youth and bearer of the ambrosial cup of immortality on Mount Olympus. Hebes are New Zealand natives closely related to veronica and sometimes sold as shrubby veronicas. The flowers of hebes and veronicas are very similar. There are about 100 species of hebe. All do best in cool-summer, mild-winter climates. Most are fast growing, rather low, bushy shrubs, growing one to three feet in height. There are many uses for hebe in modern gardens. They are ideal for edging, low borders, rock gardens, and containers. Plant individually or in groups for spot color. Intersperse hebes in a boxwood hedge for added color. They are very easy to grow, will attract butterflies, and are generally pest-free. Plant them only in well-drained soil, as many a hebe has succumbed to our cold wet winters. They prefer full sun, but will tolerate part sun/shade. Look for a location that offers some protection from the wind. Hebes require regular pinching off of spent blooms. Take care to pinch off only the old flowers, since new flowers will appear at the tips of the new growth.

  • Chemical Variability of Common Skullcap (Scutellaria Galericulata L.) Wild Growing in the Area of Eastern Poland
    From Botanical to Medical Research Vol. 62 No. 3 2016 DOI: 10.1515/hepo-2016-0013 EXPERIMENTAL PAPER Chemical variability of common skullcap (Scutellaria galericulata L.) wild growing in the area of eastern Poland OLGA KOSAKOWSKA*, KATARZYNA BĄCZEK, JAROSŁAW L. PRZYBYŁ, EWELINA PIÓRO-JABRUCKA, ZENON WĘGLARZ Laboratory of New Herbal Products Department of Vegetable and Medicinal Plants Warsaw University of Life Sciences – SGGW Nowoursynowska 166 02-787 Warsaw, Poland *corresponding author: phone: +48 22 5932247, fax +48 22 5932232, e-mail: [email protected] S u m m a r y Introduction In the group of plants revealing adaptogenic activity, species belonging to Scu- tellaria genus are considered to be the most important ones. Common skullcap (Scutellaria galericulata L.) is less known species from this genus, growing wild in Poland in wet habitats. Its herb has been used in the past as a sedative and diuretic agent. Objective The aim of the study was to determine the variability of common skullcap in terms of the accumulation of flavonoids in the herb. Methods The objects of the study were 17 common skullcap popula- tions growing wild in eastern Poland. At each natural site, the list of main flowering plant species was carried out, according to Braun-Blanquet scale of plant abundance. The total content of flavonoids was determined according to EP 8th. The analysis of flavonoids was carried out using HPLC, Shimadzu chromatograph. Results The total content of flavonoids ranged from 0.21 to 0.50% dry matter (DM). Using HPLC, eight compounds were identified within the group, with chrysin-7-O-glucuronide (30.91–589.27 mg × 100 g-1 DM), baicalin (61.90–482.93 mg × 100 g-1 DM) and scutellarin (43.77–213.54 mg × 100 g-1 DM) as domi- nants.

  • Kentucky Unwanted Plants
    Chapter 6 A Brief Guide to Kentucky’s Non-Native, Invasive Species, Common Weeds, and Other Unwanted Plants A publication of the Louisville Water Company Wellhead Protection Plan, Phase III Source Reduction Grant # X9-96479407-0 Chapter 6 A Brief Guide to Kentucky’s Non-native, Invasive Species, Common Weeds and Other Unwanted Plants What is an invasive exotic plant? A plant is considered exotic, (alien, foreign, non- indigenous, non-native), when it has been introduced by humans to a location outside its native or natural range. Most invasive, exotic plants have escaped cultivation or have spread from its origin and have become a problem or a potential problem in natural biological communities. For example, black locust, a tree that is native to the southern Appalachian region and portions of Indiana, Illinois, and Missouri, was planted throughout the U.S. for living fences, erosion control, and other uses for many years. Black locust is considered exotic outside its natural native range because it got to these places Kudzu is an invasive exotic plant that has spread by human introduction rather than by natural from Japan and China to become a large problem in dispersion. It has become invasive, displacing native much of the US. Local, state, and the federal species and adversely impacting ecosystems and governments spend millions of dollars per year to several endangered native bird species that depend on control the spread of kudzu. Even yearly control other plants for food, as well as several endangered may not be enough to successfully remove kudzu. Seeds can remain dormant in the plant species.

  • A New Species of Veronica (Plantaginaceae) in the Extreme North of Europe: a Northward Migration Due to Recent Climatic Changes? Ilona V
    10.31195/ejejfs.588660 Eurasian Journal of Forest Science 2019 7(3): 269-276 http://dergipark.gov.tr/ejejfs A new species of Veronica (Plantaginaceae) in the extreme north of Europe: a northward migration due to recent climatic changes? Ilona V. Blinova Polar-Alpine Botanical Garden-Institute, Kola Research Centre of Russian Academy of Sciences, Kirovsk, Murmansk Region, Russia. Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract Twelve species of Veronica (Plantaginaceae) are recorded from Murmansk Region (Russia). We report the first localities (N 67°35′42″ E 33°24′50″, 67°16′58″ 32°27′56″) of Veronica beccabunga for the region. The species distribution range in Europe extends to nearly 65 °N. The first find of V. beccabunga in Lapponia Imandrae in Russia is briefly described, and ecological data about its habitat are given. A dispersal route of this species from its northern range in Europe to the new isolated locality is suggested. The spread success could be explained by regional climatic changes along with the high degree of seed and vegetative survival of V. beccabunga. It is proposed to include this species in the next regional Red Data Book in the group “In need of monitoring”. Keywords: Veronica, Plantaginaceae, Murmansk Region, flora, new record Introduction Murmansk Region is one of the best studied in Russia botanically. The most important treatments were published in five volumes in 1953–1966 with descriptions of 1162 vascular plant species (Gorodkov 1953–1954, Pojarkova 1956–1966). Since then any additions, especially of native plants, have been made one at a time. The species total has increased mainly through alien species and various taxonomic resolutions, and it has reached 1336 species (Kostina and Filimonova 2009).

Email: [email protected] Abstract The research presented in this paper had the purpose of Key words inventory and knowledge of spontaneous and subspontaneous plant species of Botanical Garden "Vasile Fati" Jibou, Salaj, Romania. Following systematic Jibou Botanical Garden, investigations undertaken in the botanical garden a large number of spontaneous flora, spontaneous taxons were found from the Romanian flora (650 species of adventive and vascular plants and 20 species of moss). Also were inventoried 38 species of subspontaneous plants, adventive plants, permanently established in Romania and 176 vascular plant floristic analysis, Romania species that have migrated from culture and multiply by themselves throughout the garden. In the garden greenhouses were found 183 subspontaneous species and weeds, both from the Romanian flora as well as tropical plants introduced by accident. Thus the total number of wild species rises to 1055, a large number compared to the occupied area. Some rare spontaneous plants and endemic to the Romanian flora (Galium abaujense, Cephalaria radiata, Crocus banaticus) were found. Cultivated species that once migrated from culture, accommodated to environmental conditions and conquered new territories; standing out is the Cyrtomium falcatum fern, once escaped from the greenhouses it continues to develop on their outer walls. Jibou Botanical Garden is the second largest exotic species can adapt and breed further without any botanical garden in Romania, after "Anastasie Fătu" care [11].
