Adequate provision of potable water to residential properties is crucial for their use and the issue was taken with the utmost seriousness by the City. City Council was advised of the situation and immediately sought answers to questions relating to the water supply concerns and how the problem might be addressed in a responsible and expedient manner. One of the primary concerns of the City Council was the condition of the aquifer that provides potable groundwater to many of the rural residential tracts in Wildwood.

Jeffers, Committee Chair Julia L. Kerrigan William C. Bridges, Jr. ABSTRACT This project was composed of two separate studies. In one study, the species of Phytophthora that have been found associated with diseased floriculture crops in South Carolina and four other states were characterized and identified using molecular (RFLP fingerprints and DNA sequences for ITS regions and cox I and II genes), morphological (sporangia, oogonia, antheridia, oospores, and chlamydospores), and physiological (mating behavior and cardinal temperatures) characters.

Grasses that hold their flower stalk well into winter are also included. In many cases, only the species or a good, representative cultivar of a species has been included. For example, many cultivars of purple coneflower, Echinacea purpurea are good, long-season bloomers, but only the species has been listed.

  • ANATOMICAL CHARACTERISTICS and ECOLOGICAL TRENDS in the XYLEM and PHLOEM of BRASSICACEAE and RESEDACAE Fritz Hans Schweingruber
    IAWA Journal, Vol. 27 (4), 2006: 419–442 ANATOMICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND ECOLOGICAL TRENDS IN THE XYLEM AND PHLOEM OF BRASSICACEAE AND RESEDACAE Fritz Hans Schweingruber Swiss Federal Research Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape, CH-8903 Birmensdorf, Switzerland (= corresponding address) SUMMARY The xylem and phloem of Brassicaceae (116 and 82 species respectively) and the xylem of Resedaceae (8 species) from arid, subtropical and tem- perate regions in Western Europe and North America is described and ana- lysed, compared with taxonomic classifications, and assigned to their ecological range. The xylem of different life forms (herbaceous plants, dwarf shrubs and shrubs) of both families consists of libriform fibres and short, narrow vessels that are 20–50 μm in diameter and have alter- nate vestured pits and simple perforations. The axial parenchyma is para- tracheal and, in most species, the ray cells are exclusively upright or square. Very few Brassicaceae species have helical thickening on the vessel walls, and crystals in fibres. The xylem anatomy of Resedaceae is in general very similar to that of the Brassicaceae. Vestured pits occur only in one species of Resedaceae. Brassicaceae show clear ecological trends: annual rings are usually dis- tinct, except in arid and subtropical lowland zones; semi-ring-porosity decreases from the alpine zone to the hill zone at lower altitude. Plants with numerous narrow vessels are mainly found in the alpine zone. Xylem without rays is mainly present in plants growing in the Alps, both at low and high altitudes. The reaction wood of the Brassicaceae consists primarily of thick-walled fibres, whereas that of the Resedaceae contains gelatinous fibres.

  • Butterfly Gardening4.Pdf
    Visit us on the Web: www.gardeninghelp.org Butterfly Gardening Butterflies epitomize the essence of natural beauty with their colors, patterns and graceful movements. For centuries, humankind has been enchanted by the exotic nature of butterflies. Their delicate form has been imitated in crafts, jewelry making, depicted in art and used in ceremonial dress. Their astonishing metamorphosis (“change of form”) from earthbound caterpillars to beautiful, winged adults has become incorporated into the ritual and folklore of many countries. In Christian art, the metamorphosis of the butterfly symbolizes the Resurrection. While our fascination with butterflies has transcended recorded history, our understanding of their evolution is limited at best. This is due largely to the fact that butterflies are such fragile creatures, they tend to disintegrate after death rather than be preserved as fossils. The most revealing specimens have been those found encased in amber dating back to the Cretaceous era, between 100-140 million years ago. While the fossil record indicates that butterflies first appeared in the Cretaceous era; there is a growing body of evidence that indicates a much earlier ancestry. Butterflies are classified as insects because they possess a hard external skeleton, three body parts (head, thorax and abdomen) and three jointed pairs of legs. Closely related to skippers and moths, butterflies are members of the insect order Lepidoptera from the Greek lepis, for scale, and pteron, for wing. Butterflies can be distinguished from skippers and moths by their antennae—butterflies have clubbed antenna, skippers have clubbed antenna with a distinctive hook at the tip, and moths have feathery antennae.
