Nat. Croat., Vol. 30, No. 1, 289–329, 2021, Zagreb. The plant lists of Gladiolus, Crocus and other members of the Iridaceae family grown in the Botani- cal Garden from 1895 to 2021 are studied, with a supplement for the genus Iris, analyzed in 2019. The nomenclature, synonymy and origin of plant material were arranged. Lists of species grown in the last 126 years are constructed to show that throughout that period at least 448 taxa of wild and culti- vated Iridaceae from 30 genera inhabited the Garden’s collections. Today we have 371 taxa out of 21 genera. Out of this number, the genus Gladiolus accounts for 35 taxa (formerly 50), Crocus 7 (formerly 27), while Iris includes as many as 291 species, cultivars and hybrids. The remaining 18 Iridaceae genera are represented by 38 taxa.

A database driven selection of plant and animal species for the implementation of the Pan European Ecological Network. Wageningen, Alterra, Alterra-report 1119. 193 pages; 30 figs.; 18 tables; 134 refs. The concept of ecological networks is becoming increasingly important in both policies and practices of nature conservation throughout Europe. The establishment of the Pan Ecological European Network (PEEN) can be seen as one of the priority issues for nature conservation. For the establishment of such networks, it is essential to have adequate information on the threat status and distribution of plant and animal species throughout Europe. As there are thousands of plant and animal species, it is necessary to make a selection of species that are considered to be of specific conservation concern, so-called ‘target species’.

    p PLANT LIST Battery Park City extends for over a mile along the Hudson River, from Chambers Street South to the Battery in Lower Manhattan and features 36 acres of public space and parkland. In Battery Park City one can find expansive lawns, carefully tended gardens, tall trees, and even ‘wild’ areas. Our horticulturists care for the gardens, lawns, and trees within the parks. Through holistic management techniques, our staff focuses on maintaining the proper soil conditions throughout the year by using only non-toxic methods for soil preparation and pest control. The staff is well known for the high quality compost and compost tea they produce. This is a list of the almost two thousand plant species that grow in the parks of Battery Park City. Each plant is carefully chosen by our expert horticulturalists based on the types of soil, temperature tolerance, and salt tolerance. Plantings are developed so that different species grow in cooperation rather than competition. One can often a plant in full bloom many days out of the year.
