Ecological Response of Some Iris L. Taxa (Iridaceae) in Turkey
Bangladesh J. Bot. 40(2): 177-184, 2011 (December) ECOLOGICAL RESPONSE OF SOME IRIS L. TAXA (IRIDACEAE) IN TURKEY 1 2 NEZAHAT KANDEMIR*, ALI ÇELIK AND ABDULKADIR SÜRÜCÜ Department of Biology, Education Faculty, Amasya University, Amasya-Turkey Key words: Iris taxa, Endemic, Rare, Ecological properties, Relationship Abstract Ecological relationships of some Iris taxa belonging to subgenera Hermodactyloides (I. danfordiae, I. histrio subsp. aintabensis, I. histrio subsp. histrio, I. reticulata, I. bakeriana, I. pamphylica) and Scorpiris (I. aucheri and I. persica) have been compared and relationships between taxa have been determined. These taxa are geophytes and flower in Spring. I. danfordiae, I. pamphylica and subsp. aintabensis are endemic to Turkey. I. reticulata and I. persica have widespread distribution while I. aucheri, subsp. aintabensis, subsp. histrio, I. pamphylica and I. bakeriana have restricted distribution in Turkey. Soil samples of the taxa were collected during flowering periods and physical and chemical properties (texture class, total salinity %, pH, CaCO3 %, organic matter %, N %, P kg/da, K kg/da, Ca , Mg, Mn, Cu, Fe and Zn ppm) were determined. The correlations between the soil analyses and taxa were evaluated using regression analysis. The P and CaCO3 values were found to be more effective than the other soil factors in the distributions of investigated taxa. Introduction Iris L. is one of the largest genus of Iridaceae family and comprises over 300 species in the world. They have been distributed in the Northern Hemisphere (Yu et al. 2009). Iris species have been used as ornamental plants in vegetative landscape of the parks and gardens in many countries since ancient times because of very beautiful and colorful flowers (specially in rock garden I. -
Jordan Itinerary Wildlife Holiday Botanical Tour Irises Tulips Orchids
Jordan A Greentours Itinerary Day 1 Arrive Jordan Our direct British Airways flight arrives late in the evening so we’ll stay the first night in Madaba, just half an hour from the airport. Days 2 - 5 The Northern Hills, Ajlun, Jerash, and the Syrian border The hills that form the east bank of the Jordan Valley may come as a surprise to the first-time visitor to Jordan. Covered in a beguiling mix of olive groves, terraces, villages and some rather fine indigenous forest, they have a very rich natural as well as cultural heritage. The latter of course will play a significant part on our tour and so we’ll take time out to enjoy the Roman ruins at Jerash, the wonderful situation of Roman Pella, and the fairy-tale ruins of the Arab-built Crusader period castle that looms over Ajlun. However it is the fauna and flora that will take most of our attention. The hills reach around four thousand feet above sea level along their length, actually four thousand two hundred feet above the almost subtropical Jordan River in the valley below. The hills have a largely European avifauna but as one descends things become more exotic with first Blackstarts and Spectacled Bulbuls, and then White-throated Kingfisher and Little Green Bee- eater. The same is true of the flowers with the highest hills having an almost alpine component and the valley a rich mixture of Middle-eastern plants. Ajlun, a new nature reserve protecting an area of natural evergreen oak forest, is right on the very tops of the hills. -

Number 35 July-September
THE BULB NEWSLETTER Number 35 July-September 2001 Amana lives, long live Among! ln the Kew Scientist, Issue 19 (April 2001), Kew's Dr Mike Fay reports on the molecular work that has been carried out on Among. This little tulip«like eastern Asiatic group of Liliaceae that we have long grown and loved as Among (A. edulis, A. latifolla, A. erythroniolde ), but which took a trip into the genus Tulipa, should in fact be treated as a distinct genus. The report notes that "Molecular data have shown this group to be as distinct from Tulipa s.s. [i.e. in the strict sense, excluding Among] as Erythronium, and the three genera should be recognised.” This is good news all round. I need not change the labels on the pots (they still labelled Among), neither will i have to re~|abel all the as Erythronlum species tulips! _ Among edulis is a remarkably persistent little plant. The bulbs of it in the BN garden were acquired in the early 19605 but had been in cultivation well before that, brought back to England by a plant enthusiast participating in the Korean war. Although not as showy as the tulips, they are pleasing little bulbs with starry white flowers striped purplish-brown on the outside. It takes a fair amount of sun to encourage them to open, so in cool temperate gardens where the light intensity is poor in winter and spring, pot cultivation in a glasshouse is the best method of cultivation. With the extra protection and warmth, the flowers will open out almost flat. -

J. Nat. Conserv. 11, – (2003) Journal for © Urban & Fischer Verlag http://www.urbanfischer.de/journals/jnc Nature Conservation Constructing Red Numbers for setting conservation priorities of endangered plant species: Israeli flora as a test case Yuval Sapir1*, Avi Shmida1 & Ori Fragman1,2 1 Rotem – Israel Plant Information Center, Dept. of Evolution, Systematics and Ecology,The Hebrew University, Jerusalem, 91904, Israel; e-mail: [email protected] 2 Present address: Botanical Garden,The Hebrew University, Givat Ram, Jerusalem 91904, Israel Abstract A common problem in conservation policy is to define the priority of a certain species to invest conservation efforts when resources are limited. We suggest a method of constructing red numbers for plant species, in order to set priorities in con- servation policy. The red number is an additive index, summarising values of four parameters: 1. Rarity – The number of sites (1 km2) where the species is present. A rare species is defined when present in 0.5% of the area or less. 2. Declining rate and habitat vulnerability – Evaluate the decreasing rate in the number of sites and/or the destruction probability of the habitat. 3. Attractivity – the flower size and the probability of cutting or exploitation of the plant. 4. Distribution type – scoring endemic species and peripheral populations. The plant species of Israel were scored for the parameters of the red number. Three hundred and seventy (370) species, 16.15% of the Israeli flora entered into the “Red List” received red numbers above 6. “Post Mortem” analysis for the 34 extinct species of Israel revealed an average red number of 8.7, significantly higher than the average of the current red list. -

Carnivorous Plant Newsletter V44 N4 December 2015
Technical Refereed Contribution Soil pH values at sites of terrestrial carnivorous plants in south-west Europe Lubomír Adamec • Institute of Botany of the Czech Academy of Sciences • Dukelská 135 • CZ-379 82 Trˇebonˇ • Czech Republic • [email protected] Keywords: Soil water pH, neutral soils, Pinguicula spp., Drosera intermedia, Drosophyllum lusitanicum. Abstract: Although the majority of terrestrial carnivorous plants grow in acidic soils at a pH of 3.5-5.5, there are many dozens of carnivorous species, mostly mountainous or rocky Pinguicula species, which grow preferen- tially or strictly in neutral or slightly alkaline soils at pHs between 7-8. Knowledge of an optimum soil pH value and an amplitude of this factor may be important not only for understanding the ecology of various species and their conservation, but also for successfully growing them. I report soil pH values at microsites of 15 terrestrial carnivorous plant species or subspecies in SW Europe. Introduction The majority of terrestrial carnivorous plants grow in wetlands such as peat bogs, fens, wet meadows, or wet clayish sands. The soils have usually low available mineral nutrient content (N, P, K, Ca, Mg), are hypoxic or anoxic and usually acidic (Juniper et al. 1989; Adamec 1997; Rice 2006). Unlike mineral nutritional character- istics of these soils, which have commonly been studied and related to carnivorous plant growth in the field or greenhouse experiments and which have also been published (for the review see Adamec 1997), relatively very little is known about the relationship between soil pH and growth of terrestrial carnivorous plants. Although some limited knowledge of soil pH at habitats of carnivorous plants or in typical substrates exist among botanists and growers (e.g., Roberts & Oosting 1958; Aldenius et al. -
