A este respecto resulta de gran interés y satisfacción para este Consejo editar trabajos de esta envergadura y nivel de conocimientos científicos. Este libro es el resultado del trabajo de numerosos autores, destacando la labor de coordinación de Felipe Domínguez, David Guzmán, y Juan Carlos Moreno. Gracias a la dedicación minuciosa de los autores tenemos ante no- sotros el mejor compendio de información de esta especie turolense de especial valor de conservación e interés que se encuentra estrictamente protegida por el Catálogo de Especies Amenazadas de Aragón donde se incluye en la categoría de “especie en peligro de extinción”. Sin duda alguna, trabajos como este contribuyen a que nuestras es- pecies de flora estén más protegidas y sean más conocidas y valoradas, no sólo por el mundo científico, sino por la sociedad en general, y espe- cialmente, en este caso, por los habitantes de los escasos municipios de la provincia de Teruel donde el crujiente está presente. 7 Preámbulo Felipe Domínguez Lozano David Guzmán Otano Juan Carlos Moreno Saiz La historia del crujiente ha sido larga y fructífera. Hasta cierto punto, esta especie humilde, estoica y sencilla ha ejercido una especie de “atrac- ción fatal” para ciertos botánicos, de difícil razonamiento. Hoy, hay nu- merosas aportaciones de diversos equipos que desde distintas disciplinas botánicas han mejorado el conocimiento y la conservación de las pobla- ciones de este arbusto turolense. El inicio de esta situación de privilegio, si atendemos al panorama de la botánica española, podría situarse a finales del siglo XIX, cuando Antonio Badal dejaba testigo de una recolección por primera vez. En aquel entonces, Badal era el cura de Las Parras de San Martín, pequeña localidad situada en la vertiente norte de la sierra de San Just, elevación que separa la cuenca del Alfambra de la del Martín. Activo aficionado a la botánica, enviaba material a Francisco Loscos desde 1882. En mayo de 1885 encontró el arbusto en las proximidades de Villalba Baja. Su aparición quedó referenciada de forma precisa: “Vella Pseudocitysus L. Provincia de Teruel, rara en Villalba la Baja á un lado de la carretera en dirección á Alfambra, con flor 15 Mayo 1885 (Badal)”, Loscos (1886: 584). Existe testimonio de su recolección temprana, ya que el Herbario del Jar- dín Botánico de Madrid conserva al menos un pliego del propio Badal fechado en 1899 (MA 45689, Figura 1 A). En 1888, Carlos Pau, y probablemente con material suministrado otra vez por el religioso, acusa las diferencias de esta planta respecto a la co- nocida en Madrid: “la tengo por especie diversa en mi herbario con el nombre de V. Badali Pau” (Pau, 1888: 19). De las dos referencias escritas hasta el momento tomó nota Willkomm, que mantenía buenas relaciones con los dos autores españoles, en su “Su- pplementum” de 1893: “4818. Vella Pseudocytisus L. Adde.: b glabrescens, (...) (V. Badali Pau Not. bot. II, p. 19 sine descr. Cf. Loscos, Trat. pl. Arag. Supl. 7º, p. 82!). In Aragon. australi (pr. Villalba la Baja versus Alfambra, Badal, Majo 1886)”, (Willkomm, 1893: 306). 9 Biología de la Conservación de Vella pseudocytisus subsp. paui Durante ese mismo año (1893), la especie fue recolectada por Benito Vicioso en el entorno de Calatayud. Éste, y también su hijo Carlos, conti- nuaron recolectando material hasta 1927, anotando en las etiquetas como única información corológica el escueto topónimo “Calatayud” (Figura 1 B). Los dos recolectaron copiosamente, lo que demuestran por ejemplo los más de 850 testigos de numerosas plantas que están depositados en el Herbario del Jardín Botánico de Madrid con dicho topónimo. En la Fa- cultad de Farmacia de Madrid existe también un pliego sin fecha donde aparece “Sierra de Vicort”, atribuido a Benito Vicioso e incluido en el her- bario del catedrático Blas Lázaro e Ibiza. Desde entonces no ha vuelto a ser localizada en esa zona. A. B. Figura 1. Fotografías de dos pliegos de Vella pseudocytisus subsp. paui depositados y montados en el Herbario del Jardín Botánico de Madrid, uno (MA 45689) recolectado por Antonio Badal en 1899 (A) y otro por Carlos Vicioso en 1908 (B). No sabemos de nuevas recolecciones registradas hasta 1973, cuando Delvosalle depositaba material en el herbario del Instituto Pirenaico de Ecología (JACA 993). César Gómez Campo visitó la población de Villal- ba por primera vez en 1976. La relación del Profesor con la especie en su conjunto fue larga y dejó numerosos trabajos publicados acerca de su taxonomía, biología y conservación. Como muestra, podría señalarse la elaboración de la primera ficha roja de esta planta, que aparecía publicada en el segundo libro rojo publicado por la UICN (Lucas y Synge, 1978). De 10 PREÁMBULO Biología de la Conservación de Vella pseudocytisus subsp. paui las diez fichas de plantas españolas, cinco iban firmadas por botánicos españoles, y cuatro corrían a cargo del Profesor Gómez Campo, entre ellas la de Vella pseudocytisus, que aparecía con la categoría de vulnerable. Diez años después, en 1986, se llevaron a cabo recolecciones por personal de la Universidad de Barcelona. En 1988, Gonzalo Mateo, profesor de Botánica en la Universidad de Valencia, descubre la población al sur de la ciudad de Teruel en Villel (Mateo, 1990: 186): “hasta la actualidad no se había indicado ninguna otra localidad provincial [hace referencia a la cita de Badal]. Sin embargo hemos podido observar un pliego de la especie en el herbario de Almagro recogido en Tramacastilla [en los montes Univer- sales], y la hemos observado también en Cuevas Labradas (XK67), Villel (XK55) y Cascante del Río (XK65)”, cita que también queda refrendada por al menos un pliego en el Jardín Botánico de Madrid (MA 440498). Do- roteo Almagro fue veterinario en la provincia de Teruel y desarrolló su actividad botánica a principios del siglo XX, reuniendo un herbario que fue estudiado en primera instancia por Pau. Desde entonces no se han descubierto nuevas poblaciones, lo que no significa que no se haya prospectado con afán. Con todo, a partir de 1993 esta especie ha formado parte de la estrategia conservacionis- ta aragonesa. La Diputación General de Aragón encargaba en ese año, a un equipo de botánicos de la Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, un trabajo para contribuir a sentar las bases técnicas de la protección de la flora amenazada aragonesa. Dicho estudio identificó a Vella pseudocyti- sus subsp. paui como uno de los táxones con mayor urgencia conserva- cionista en la Comunidad aragonesa y redactó una propuesta de plan de conservación para sus poblaciones (Sáinz Ollero et al., 1996). Por tal motivo, y hasta finales de 1996, se elaboraron dos nuevos proyectos téc- nicos que avanzaban los trabajos propuestos para el plan (Domínguez et al., 1996a; 1996b). Dichos estudios permitían conocer mejor su estado de conservación y serían el germen de estudios incluidos

In practice, it involves finding a name for an unknown specimen. This may be achieved by: 1-Visiting a herbarium and comparing unknown specimen with duly identified specimens stored in the herbarium. 2-The specimen may also be sent to an expert in the field who can help in the identification. 3-Using various types of literature such as Floras, Monographs or Manuals and making use of identification keys provided in these sources of literature. And further confirmed by comparison with the detailed description of the taxon provided in the literature source.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: The floral vasculature aspects of twenty-four species belonging to six monocotyledonous families are dealt with. These selected taxa include 23 horticulture species cultivated in Egypt and the remainders is among the wild flora of Egypt. A great attention has been focused by phylogenetists on the position of the ovary with respect to the other parts of the flower. In this connection, the nature of the inferior ovary is generally discussed on the basis of two theories; appendicular and axial. It is fortunate that the vascular skeleton can still be regarded as the most conservative character and that it may be rather conclusive in the determination of the nature of the inferior ovary. In the present study, the different patterns of floral vascularization are presented in cumulative tables and figures to facilitate the comparative study. Moreover, an interpretation to the observed variations is also tried to reach at the relations between the taxa studied and to determine the nature of the hypanthium. Keywords: Epigynous flower, floral vasculature, hypanthium, inferior ovary, monocotyledons. Introduction More than other plant part the flower has always received a great attention on telling evolutionary pathways; and of all the floral phenomena that of the inferior ovary has doubtless been extensively discussed [DOUGLAS, 2003; BASSO-ALVES & al.
