He became elected member of the Ser- bian Learned Society in 1869 and a corresponding member of the Serbian Royal Academy in 1889. Medical Colonel Dr. Sava Petrović lost his father early in his life and his mother made him learn the tailor’s trade. Dissatisfied with the prospect of his future profession, he left this school and started elementary school in the town of Šabac, then attended lower secondary school in Šabac, a higher secondary school in Belgrade, and the Lyceum in Belgrade (Natural Science Department). During his schooling in Belgrade Dr. Sava Petrović met Dr Josif Pančić, who directed him towards the study of flora 1, 2. Upon completion of his studies at the Lyceum in Belgrade, Sava Petrović was awarded a state scholarship and went to Paris (France) to study medicine and surgery. Upon arrival in Paris Sava got ill and was forced to abandon his medical studies and return to Serbia for treatment. Due to the disease Sava Petrović lost the state scholarship, and when he recov- ered he was forced to work privately in order to provide funds for the completion of the previously enrolled medical Fig. 1 – Medical Colonel Dr. Sava Petrović (born on January school in Paris. 14, 1839 in Šabac, died on January 22, 1889 in Belgrade) is a Dr. Sava Petrović graduated at the Medical School in world known botanist.

    David Millward’s Ramonda nathaliae took the top award in Aberdeen. I was unable to get to Aber- deen again this year but from the photograph tak- en by Stan da Prato I can tell that this was a mag- nificent plant, try counting the flowers. I stopped at 100! In my garden I am happy if my Ramondas flower at all. David’s plant also has perfect leaves. Mine have leaves which turn brown at the hint of sunshine. It also looks good all from all sides. This degree of perfection is a tribute to David’s skill as a cultivator. Well done David I was interested to see that David’s superb plant has been raised from seed col- lected by Jim & Jenny Archi- bald. According to Jim’s field notes which are on the SRGC web site, it was collected as Ramonda serbica, [difficult to tell the difference out of flow- er] in the Radika Valley and Gorge in ‘Yugoslavian Mac- edonia’, along with Lilium martagon and Sempervivum heuffellii Ramonda nathaliae grows in Serbia and Macedonia, mostly in the east of both countries. Where- as most flowers in Gesneriaceae have of five lobes in their flower, Ramonda nathaliae has two fused petals which give the overall appearance of four lobes (usually), making it distinctive among Gesneriad flowers. The Ramonda nathaliae flower is considered a symbol of the Serbian Army’s struggle during World War I. The plant was scientifically described in 1884 from speci- mens growing around Niš, by Sava Petrović and Josif Pančić, who named it after Queen Natalija Obrenović of Serbia.

  • November 2013 ---International Rock Gardener--- November 2013
    International Rock Gardener ISSN 2053-7557 Number 47 The Scottish Rock Garden Club November 2013 ---International Rock Gardener--- November 2013 As most gardeners know, taxonomic changes can be fraught with controversy, for any number of reasons! Take for instance the name of the beautiful endemic gesneriad from Mount Olympus, Jankaea heldreichii – still ‘unresolved’ in the Kew Plant List. In 1993 a paper by Christian Feuillet detailed the need to change the names of various Jankaea hybrids to comply with the Jancaea name. Z.Z. writes: “We Czechs do not like the deformation of the good name Jankaea to Jancaea, because the honoured Hungarian botanist had the name Janka and not Janca.” A search around the internet will show that many others also prefer this form – including Josef Halda, who described several such hybrids, some of which are among plants from the Gesneriaceae featured this month. Cover: Ramonda nathaliae on limestone south of Skoplje in Macedonia, picture by Z.Z. ---Plant Portraits--- Two New Intergeneric Hybrids in the Family Gesneriaceae by Josef.J.Halda, drawings by Jarmila Haldová, pictures by Z.Z. (From Acta Mus. Richnoviensis (Sect. natur.), 19(3–4): 49-54) In the spring of 1973 I received from the Geneva-based Aymon Correvon* a plant named Jankaea vandedemii, resembling Jankaea heldreichii with almost globose leaves, which later bloomed with lavender blue flowers, though only shallowly campanulate ones. In response to my question on the origin of the plant he answered that he got it from Mr. Vandedem, Holland, who is supposedly also the author of this hybrid, the parents of which are the Greek Jankaea heldreichii as the mother plant and the father is the Pyrenean Ramonda myconii.

  • Nuclear DNA Content in Sinningia (Gesneriaceae); Intraspecific Genome Size Variation and Genome Characterization in S
    1066 Nuclear DNA content in Sinningia (Gesneriaceae); intraspecific genome size variation and genome characterization in S. speciosa David Zaitlin and Andrew J. Pierce Abstract: The Gesneriaceae (Lamiales) is a family of flowering plants comprising >3000 species of mainly tropical origin, the most familiar of which is the cultivated African violet (Saintpaulia spp.). Species of Gesneriaceae are poorly repre- sented in the lists of taxa sampled for genome size estimation; measurements are available for three species of Ramonda and one each of Haberlea, Saintpaulia, and Streptocarpus, all species of Old World origin. We report here nuclear genome size estimates for 10 species of Sinningia, a neotropical genus largely restricted to Brazil. Flow cytometry of leaf cell nu- clei showed that holoploid genome size in Sinningia is very small (approximately two times the size of the Arabidopsis genome), and is small compared to the other six species of Gesneriaceae with genome size estimates. We also documented intraspecific genome size variation of 21%–26% within a group of wild Sinningia speciosa (Lodd.) Hiern collections. In addition, we analyzed 1210 genome survey sequences from S. speciosa to characterize basic features of the nuclear ge- nome such as guanine–cytosine content, types of repetitive elements, numbers of protein-coding sequences, and sequences unique to S. speciosa. We included several other angiosperm species as genome size standards, one of which was the snap- dragon (Antirrhinum majus L.; Veronicaceae, Lamiales). Multiple measurements on three accessions indicated that the ge- nome size of A. majus is *633 Â 106 base pairs, which is approximately 40% of the previously published estimate.

Dehydration reduced the relative water content (RWC) from 97% in the fully hydrated plants to 4% in the desiccated ones, plants regaining the initial RWC upon complete rehydration. The decrease in the osmotic potential at full turgor from À0.7 MPa in the control plants to À2.2 MPa in the desiccated leaves indicates that an osmotic adjustment came into play. The osmotic adjustment in the dried leaves was due primarily to the high concentration of inorganic ions (71% of total solutes), especially K+ and ClÀ. Other detected compounds such as soluble sugars and free amino acids gave a rather low contribution to the osmotic potential at full turgor of the desiccated leaves. Generally, upon rehydration all the osmotically active substances almost returned to their initial concentrations. The presence of increased amounts of sucrose detected during desiccation is discussed in relation to its role in membrane stabilisation.
