Native Orchids in Southeast Alaska
Native Orchids in Southeast Alaska Marlin Bowles & Bob Armstrong 2019 Preface Southeast Alaska's rainforests, peatlands and alpine habitats support a wide variety of plant life. The composition of this vegetation is strongly influenced by patterns of plant distribution and geographical factors. For example, the ranges of some Asian plant species extend into Southeast Alaska by way of the Aleutian Islands; other species extend northward into this region along the Pacific coast or southward from central Alaska. Included in Southeast Alaska's vegetation are at least 27 native orchid species and varieties whose collective ranges extend from Mexico north to beyond the Arctic Circle, and from North America to northern Europe and Asia. These orchids survive in a delicate ecological balance, requiring specific insect pollinators for seed production, and mycorrhizal fungi that provide nutrients essential for seedling growth and survival of adult plants. These complex relationships can lead to vulnerability to human impacts. Orchids also tend to transplant poorly and typically perish without their fungal partners. They are best left to survive as important components of biodiversity as well as resources for our enjoyment. Our goal is to provide a useful description of Southeast Alaska's native orchids for readers who share enthusiasm for the natural environment and desire to learn more about our native orchids. This book addresses each of the native orchids found in the area of Southeast Alaska extending from Yakutat and the Yukon border south to Ketchikan and the British Columbia border. For each species, we include a brief description of its distribution, habitat, size, mode of reproduction, and pollination biology. -
The Effect of BA and GA on the Shoot Multiplication of in Vitro
FOLIA HORTICULTURAE Folia Hort. 23/2 (2011): 145-149 Published by the Polish Society DOI: 10.2478/v10245-011-0022-5 for Horticultural Science since 1989 The effect of BA and GA3 on the shoot multiplication of in vitro cultures of Polish wild roses Bożena Pawłowska Department of Ornamental Plants University of Agriculture in Krakow 29 Listopada 54, 31-425 Kraków, Poland e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT The experiment was conducted using five species of roses naturally occurring in Poland:Rosa agrestis (fieldbriar rose), R. canina (dog rose), R. dumalis (glaucous dog rose), R. rubiginosa (sweetbriar rose), and R. tomentosa (whitewooly rose), from the in vitro collection of the Department of Ornamental Plants of the University of Agriculture in Kraków. We examined the effect of cytokinin BA (1-10 µM) added to an MS medium (Murashige and Skoog 1962) on auxiliary shoot multiplication. The second group of test media contained BA (1-5 µM) and gibberellin GA3 (0.3-1.5 µM). The cultures were maintained at a phytotron temperature of 23/25°C (night/ day), 80% relative humidity, with a 16-hour photoperiod and PPFD of 30 µmol m-2 s-1, and cultured in five-week cycles. The highest multiplication rate was obtained for R. canina and R. rubiginosa (4.1 shoots per one explant) and R. dumalis (2.9 shoots per one explant), when shoots were multiplied on an MS medium supplemented with 1 µM BA and 1.5 µM GA3. Multiplication was the weakest in Rosa tomentosa independent of the medium used. Key words: Polish wild roses, auxiliary shoots, multiplication INTRODUCTION obtained plant material, whereas only a few studies have reported successful somatic embryogenesis In vitro cultures are one of the key tools in plant (Roy et al. -

Vegetation Survey of Mount Gorongosa
VEGETATION SURVEY OF MOUNT GORONGOSA Tom Müller, Anthony Mapaura, Bart Wursten, Christopher Chapano, Petra Ballings & Robin Wild 2008 (published 2012) Occasional Publications in Biodiversity No. 23 VEGETATION SURVEY OF MOUNT GORONGOSA Tom Müller, Anthony Mapaura, Bart Wursten, Christopher Chapano, Petra Ballings & Robin Wild 2008 (published 2012) Occasional Publications in Biodiversity No. 23 Biodiversity Foundation for Africa P.O. Box FM730, Famona, Bulawayo, Zimbabwe Vegetation Survey of Mt Gorongosa, page 2 SUMMARY Mount Gorongosa is a large inselberg almost 700 sq. km in extent in central Mozambique. With a vertical relief of between 900 and 1400 m above the surrounding plain, the highest point is at 1863 m. The mountain consists of a Lower Zone (mainly below 1100 m altitude) containing settlements and over which the natural vegetation cover has been strongly modified by people, and an Upper Zone in which much of the natural vegetation is still well preserved. Both zones are very important to the hydrology of surrounding areas. Immediately adjacent to the mountain lies Gorongosa National Park, one of Mozambique's main conservation areas. A key issue in recent years has been whether and how to incorporate the upper parts of Mount Gorongosa above 700 m altitude into the existing National Park, which is primarily lowland. [These areas were eventually incorporated into the National Park in 2010.] In recent years the unique biodiversity and scenic beauty of Mount Gorongosa have come under severe threat from the destruction of natural vegetation. This is particularly acute as regards moist evergreen forest, the loss of which has accelerated to alarming proportions. -
Szó- És Szólásmagyarázatok
Szó- és szólásmagyarázatok Erdei gyümölcsök II/1. Fajnevek a Rosa nemzetségben A vadrózsafajok pontos taxonómiai ismerete kiváló beltartalmuk és élettani hatásaik miatt fontos a gyümölcskutatásban is. Olyan rózsák tartoznak a vadrózsák csoportjába, amelyeket még nem neme- sítettek. Értéküket éppen ez adja: szívósak, bírják a szárazságot, hideget, növényvédelemre és metszésre nincs szükség. Ehető gyümölcsöt teremnek, viszont évente csak egyszer, nyár elején virágoznak. rozsdás rózsa J. Rosa rubiginosa (P. 484). Európában és Nyugat-Ázsiában őshonos, mára máshol is elterjedt. A hosszúkás, piros termés a tél elején érik be. Már a debreceni füvészkönyvben is, 1807-ben rozsdás Rózsa (MFűvK. 303), majd 1881: rozsdáslevelű rózsák ’Rubiginosae’ (MTtK. XVI: 312), 1902: rozsdás rózsa (MVN. 103), 1911: ua. (Nsz. 259). A név a latin szaknyelvi Rosa rubiginosa binómen tükörfordítása, a faji jelzőnek ’rozsdás, rozsdavörös’ a jelentése, a szó az indogerm. *roudho ’vörös’ (G. 545) gyökre vezethető vissza (> lat. ruber ’ua.’). A rozsdás rózsa szó szerinti megfelelője a ném. Rostrose (WR. 93; R. 1890: Meyers 963), ol. rosa robiginosa, sp. eglatina roja (AFE. 105), fr. rosier rouillé (GRIN.; R. 1887: CA. 52), rosier rubigineux, le. róża rdzawa, szlk. ruža hrdzavá, szln. šipek rjastordeči, sp. rosa herrumbrosa ’ua.’ (LH.) terminus, illetve bővítménnyel a fr. églantier couleur de rouille (TB.), azaz ’rozsdaszínű vadrózsa’. Hasonneve a rozsdaszínű rózsa (AFE. 105). Társneve a ragyás rózsa (P. 217) és a sövény- rózsa (uo.; R. 1952: sövény rózsa ’Rosa rubiginosa’ [Növhat. 324]). Az utóbbi név arra utal, hogy az igen erőteljes, sűrű, tüskés növény alkalmas sövények készítésére. Ez az alapja ném. schottische Zaunrose (G. 223), azaz ’skót kerítésrózsa’ nevének is. A fr. R. -

Pourtant, ce type de forêt regroupe un peu plus d'un millier d'espèces endémiques qui font la richesse floristique de l'île. La forêt littorale d'Agnalazaha, située à 50 Km au sud de Farafangana, ne fait pas exception à cette fragilité, avec d'importantes pressions anthropiques constatées, particulièrement entre 1997 et 2002. En outre, 3 espèces cibles rentrant dans la liste IUCN sont présentes sur le site étudié: Asteropeia micraster, Dalbergia baroni et Dalbergia chapelieri . Des études sur la distribution et sur l'écologie de ces espèces ont ainsi été effectuées sur le site d'Agnalazaha, afin d'évaluer les degrés des menaces auxquelles ces plantes sont confrontées, et de suggérer les mesures nécessaires à leur conservation dans la forêt d'Agnalazaha. Un travail de bibliographie, des observations sur terrain, une enquête socioéconomique et un inventaire de la forêt d'Agnalazaha ont été réalisés dans le but d'obtenir des données précises sur les espèces cibles.
