Psychotropic Plants on Achaemenid-Style Vessels
International Conference: Ancient Greece & Ancient Iran / Cross-Cultural encounters Athens 11-14 November 2006 Abstract Psychotropic plants on Achaemenid–style vessels Dr. Despina IGNATIADOU Archaeological Museum of Thessaloniki, Greece Three important plants dominate the vegetal decoration of Achaemenid-style vessels: • The opium poppy or papaver somniferum. The petalled element on top of the seedpod is the inspiration for the creation of multi-petalled rosettes. They are usually called long petals and they are one of the most popular decorative elements. Their connection to an existing plant was not attempted until recently, as it was thought that those render a stylized imaginary flower. • The so-called lotus, but really a water-lily: o The white lotus or nymphaea alba. On the vessels appears the flower consisting of rounded petals with parallel ridges. o The blue-lotus or nymphaea caerulaea. On the vessels appears the flower consisting of pointed petals, often called lanceolate leaves. • The almond tree, represented by its fruits, usually called lobes instead of almonds. The three plants appear in a similar way on vessels fabricated in different workshops during the Achaemenid period, within and also outside the geographical boundaries of the Persian Empire. It is also important that they appear on the decoration of shallow and deep bowls, which are vessels used for libations or ritual drinking. They are not wide-range edible plants, on which the local populations would rely for survival. In that case they would have righteously gained their place in the decoration of valuable vessels. Moreover, they are plants which in the historical period grow only in certain parts of the ancient world, while their depiction is ubiquitous. -

Nature Conservation
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. -
Diversity of Nymphaea L. Species (Water Lilies) in Sri Lanka D
Sciscitator. 2014/ Vol 01 DIVERSITY OF NYMPHAEA L. SPECIES (WATER LILIES) IN SRI LANKA D. P. G. Shashika Kumudumali Guruge Board of Study in Plant Sciences Water lilies are aquatic herbs with perennial rhizomes or rootstocks anchored in the mud. In Sri Lanka, they are represented by the genus Nymphaea L. It has two species, N. nouchali Burm. F. and N. pubescens Willd (Dassanayake and Clayton, 1996). Water-lilies have been popular as an ornamental aquatic plant in Sri Lanka from ancient times as they produce striking flowers throughout the year. In addition to these native water-lilies, few ornamental species are also been introduced in the past into the water bodies. Nymphaea nouchali (Synonym- N. stellata) N. nouchali has three colour variations, white, pink and violet blue. They are commonly known as “Manel”. According to the field observations pink flowered Nymphaea is not wide spread like others. Blue and white Nymphaea are widely spread mainly in dry zone, Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa, and also in Jaffna, Ampara, Chilaw and Kurunegala. Among these, pale blue flower Nymphaea or “Nil Manel” is considered as the National flower of Sri Lanka. Figure 01. (A)- Pale blue flowered N. nouchali, (B)- upper surface of the leaf, (C)- Stamens having tongue shaped appendages, (D) Rose flowered N. nouchali , (E) White flowered N. nouchali Some morphological characters of N. nouchali (Sri Lankan National flower) are given below and illustrated in fig. 01; A- flower, B- leaf, and C- stamens.

A POSSIBILITY of USING WATERLILY (NYMPHAEA ALBA L.) for REDUCING the TOXIC EFFECTS of CHROMIUM (Cr) in INDUSTRIAL WASTEWATER
Pak. J. Bot., 48(4): 1447-1452, 2016. A POSSIBILITY OF USING WATERLILY (NYMPHAEA ALBA L.) FOR REDUCING THE TOXIC EFFECTS OF CHROMIUM (Cr) IN INDUSTRIAL WASTEWATER AISHA SALEEM KHAN*1, MIAN WAJAHAT HUSSAIN2 AND KAUSER ABDULLA MALIK3 1Department of Biological Sciences, Forman Christian College Lahore, Pakistan 2Department of Biological Sciences, Forman Christian College Lahore, Pakistan 3Department of Biological Sciences, Forman Christian College Lahore, Pakistan *Corresponding author’s email: [email protected] Abstract This research work reports the potential of waterlily (Nymphaea alba L.) a hydrophyte, to accumulate heavy metals like Cr (III) in its roots, shoot and leaves without showing prominent visible symptoms of metal toxicity. Effluent was collected from Ravi which is one of the highly polluted river as compared to other rivers in Pakistan. One of the major reason is industrial wastewater, which is disposed untreated in the Ravi which is a major threat for aquatic life and toxic for human health. It further reports that the water of Ravi river is contaminated with heavy metals like Cd, Cr, Pb, Hg and Zn because their uptake by waterlily plants is an indication that these metals are responsible for polluting Ravi water and this issue need to be resolved on priority basis. In order to estimate the amount of heavy metals in waterlily, different tissues were processed for atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) which revealed that Cd and Cr (later being in high concentration) were significantly accumulated by waterlily roots, stem and leaves, however, roots were more responsive as compared with aerial parts. Other metals were accumulated in negligible amount in roots, and almost no uptake was reported by stems and leaves. -

Tourist Attractions
Tourist attractions Opole Silesia is an attractive region for every tourist and hiker. Due to its geographical location, it has long been a place of intersecting roads and trade routes. Historical factors have likewise made it a region open to migration and colonisation, as well as a place of asylum for religious refugees. In consequence, it has become a territory in which various cultures have mingled, in particular Polish, German, and Czech. Traces of these cultures and their transformations can be found in the architecture, handicraft and folklore of the region. The cultural heritage of Opole Silesia consists of architectural, folkloric, and natural wealth. Treasures of material culture – palaces, churches (including wooden ones), chapels, monuments, and technological monuments – often appear closely connected with the natural world. Parks, gardens, arboreta, zoological gardens and fishponds once were established in the close vicinity of palaces. Churches and chapels were accompanied with melliferous lime trees, which are now under protection. Sculptures of St. John Nepomucen once adorned bridges, rivers, or crossroads. Apart from an impressive number of man-made monuments, Opole Silesia also has natural monuments of exceptional value. In this respect, it belongs to the most important regions in Poland. There are many rare and endangered plant and animal species, unusual fossils, as well as numerous forms of inanimate nature, such as rivers picturesquely meandering in their natural river beds, springs, caves and the occasional boulder. The most valuable natural areas and objects are protected in landscape parks and nature reserves. Introduction 1 Moszna It is one of the youngest residential castles in Silesia, an architectural colossus (63000 m³ of cubic capacity, 7000 m² of surface area, 360 rooms, 99 turrets). -
