  • History and Cultivation of Parma Violets (Viola, Violaceae) in the United Kingdom and France in the Nineteenth Century
    History AND Cultivation OF PARMA VIOLETS (VIOLA, VIOLACEAE) IN THE UNITED KINGDOM AND FRANCE IN THE NINETEENTH Century LUÍS MENDONÇA DE CARVALHO,1,2 FRANCISCA MARIA FERNANDES,3 MARIA DE FÁTIMA NUNES,3 JOÃO BRIGOLA,3 NATHALIE CASBAS,4 AND CLIVE GROVES5 Abstract. Scented cultivars of Parma violets were among the most important urban plants during the nineteenth century, with many references in literature, fashion, art and flower trade. Our research analyzed data related to Parma violets in France and in the United Kingdom and presents the cultivars introduced during the nineteenth century. Keywords: Parma violets, Viola cultivars, United Kingdom, France, social history The first records describing the use of violets origin. Earlier Italian literature from the XVI (Viola L., Violaceae) in Europe are from Ancient century refers to violets with a strong fragrance Greece: fragrant violets were sold in the and pleiomerous flowers that were obtained Athenian agora; praised by Greek poets, as in the from the East, near the city of Constantinople writings of Sappho (Jesus, 2009); used in (now Istanbul), capital of the former Byzantine medicine (Theophrastus, 1916); had an active role Empire. These texts describe violets that looked in myths, such as in the abduction of Persephone like roses, probably referring to ancestral plants (Ovid, 1955; Grimal, 1996); were used in gar- of the contemporary Parma violets (Malécot et lands (Goody, 1993) and present in the Odyssey’s al., 2007). In Naples (Italy), a local tradition garden of Calypso (Homer, 2003). They proposes that these violets came from Portugal, continued to be used throughout the Middle Ages brought by the Bourbon royal family during the and were present in Renaissance herbals (Cleene XVIII century; hence the local name Violetta and Lejeune, 2002).

Abstract The Tulula Wetlands Mitigation Bank, the first wetlands mitigation bank in the Blue Ridge Province of North Carolina, was created to compensate for losses resulting from highway projects in western North Carolina. The overall objective for the Tulula Wetlands Mitigation Bank has been to restore the functional and structural characteristics of the wetlands. Specific ecological restoration objectives of this Phase I study included: 1) reestablishing site hydrology by realigning the stream channel and filling drainage ditches; 2) recontouring the floodplain by removing spoil that resulted from creation of the golf ponds and dredging of the creek; 3) improving breeding habitat for amphibians by constructing vernal ponds; and 4) reestablishing floodplain and fen plant communities.

  • Business Organic Discards Composting
    COMMERCIAL RECYCLING BUSINESS ORGANIC DISCARDS COMPOSTING California businesses should begin planning to separate their organic discards for composting. Beginning in 2016, AB 1826 requires that busi- nesses must arrange for composting if they dis- card 8 cubic yards or more of organic materials weekly. That threshold moves to 4 cubic yards of organics in 2017, and 4 cubic yards of solid waste in 2019. “Organic” materials include food, landscape debris (leaves, grass, branches), and woody ma- terial including lumber. Composting turns these raw materials into soil amendments that meet California goals to reduce water use, increase statewide recycling and avoid landfill methane emissions. High Desert communities are working with local haulers and composters to implement a compre- hensive local organics recycling program, and to provide options for effected businesses. WORKING TOGETHER 1 Businesses will be contacted to verify their organics generation. This may include onsite reviews to assess eligibility and capacity to separate organics effectively. 2 Qualifying businesses will be informed when composting capacity is secured and collec- tion programs are ready. 3 Businesses may make their own arrange- ments to send organic materials to com- posting and may be asked to verify those arrangements. 4 Edible food may be donated to qualified non-profits. We are compiling a list of groups that may be able to accept and distribute ed- ible food at no risk to donating businesses. For more information, look at the State’s fre- quently asked questions http://www.calrecycle. ca.gov/Recycle/Commercial/FAQ.htm Call the Mojave Desert and Mountain Recycling Authority at (888) 873-2925 or the Town of Yucca Valley’s Recycling Coordinator at (760) 369-7207, ext.

  • Best Plants for Problem Clay Soils: Perennials
    Visit us on the Web: www.gardeninghelp.org Best Plants for Problem Clay Soils: Perennials Perennials Amsonia tabernaemontana — Bluestar This Missouri native features uptight clusters of light blue star-like flowers in late spring. Its narrow willow-like leaves turn yellow to peach-colored in fall. Bluestar may require staking if grown in shade and may be pruned after flowering to maintain a compact shape. It is most attractive when grown massed, in native plant gardens, shade gardens, open woodland areas, and borders. Asclepias incarnata — Swamp milkweed Despite its common name and native habitat, swamp milkweed may be grown in the average garden. Its fragrant white, pink or mauve flowers attract butterflies and mature into slender pods with silky-haired seeds. Swamp milkweed is a good choice for sunny, low or moist areas such as stream or pond banks, borders, and butterfly gardens. Baptisia australis — Blue false indigo Blue false indigo has beautiful purplish blue lupine-like flowers borne in erect spikes above the trifoliate leaves. The flowers mature into black seed pods that rattle in the breeze and are an interesting addition to dried flower arrangements. This herbaceous perennial does best in full sun as plants grown in part shade may grow taller and need support. Due to an extensive root system, blue false indigo will tolerate drought, but it should not be disturbed once it is established. Attractive in almost any situation including borders, prairies, cottage gardens, and native plant gardens, this plant is best used as a single specimen plant or in small groups. Baptisia australis var.

  • Plant Pathology Circular No. 257 Fla
    Plant Pathology Circular No. 257 Fla. Dept. Agric. & Consumer Serv. March 1984 Division of Plant Industry SULFUR DIOXIDE INJURY TO PLANTS T. S. Schubert Air pollutants are becoming increasingly common causes of abiotic plant diseases. Symptoms of plant injury due to an air pollutant are usually characteristic of the specific pollutant and the plant species involved. Pollutants normally undergo a chemical transformation in the process of injuring plant tissue, therefore symptoms are the main evidence used in diagnosis. Other considerations which must be taken into account in the diagnosis are: (l) identification of a probable source of the pollutant; (2) identification of all the symptomatic plant species in the vicinity; (3) gradation of symptoms (decreasing severity with increasing distance from suspected source); (4) atmospheric conditions prevailing during exposure; (5) other possible biotic and abiotic causal agents which could mimic or contribute to symptoms. In many cases, suspicious incidents of air pollution injury to plants can never be proven positively, even though much circumstantial evidence can be gathered. Sulfur dioxide (SO) is the most thoroughly studied air pollutant damaging to plants. This pollutant enters the atmosphere during the combustion of fossil fuels, especially high-sulfur coal and petroleum. Manufacture of paper pulp by the Kraft (sulfite) process also releases SO, (5). Roasting and smelting of metal ores, natural gas purification, oil refining, sulfuric acid manufacture, and volcanic activity, though not important in Florida, can release significant amounts of SO, into the atmosphere. Injury to vegetation should be confined to the vicinity of the source, although the combination of SO with atmospheric moisture produces sulfuric acid precipitation, which can have geographically widespread consequences.

  • Thesis Draft Rough
    Wesleyan University The Honors College Plant-pollinator interactions across California grassland and coastal scrub vegetation types on San Bruno Mountain, San Mateo County by Miles Gordon Brooks Class of 2020 A thesis submitted to the faculty of Wesleyan University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Arts with Departmental Honors from the College of the Environment Middletown, Connecticut April, 2020 1 2 Abstract Animal pollination of plants is a crucial ecosystem service for maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem function, worldwide. High pollinator abundance and diversity can likewise improve the reproductive success of the plant community. Plant-pollinator interaction networks have the potential to identify dominant, specialist, and generalist pollinator species within a system, and their host plant counterparts. Understanding these relationships is paramount for buffering natural systems from biodiversity loss in a world where pollinator abundance continues to decline rapidly. San Bruno Mountain (SBM) in San Mateo County, California, is one of the last natural, open spaces in the urban landscape in the northern San Francisco Peninsula. I conducted a series of timed meanders and vegetation surveys at eight sample sites within SBM (four grassland and four coastal scrub sites) to identify plant species prevalence and pollinator species visitation of flowering plants. I employed a multivariate approach for investigating plant and pollinator species richness, plant and pollinator community composition, and trophic-level interactions across the SBM landscape, and I evaluated differences in these relationships between grassland and coastal scrub habitats. A total of 59 pollinator species and 135 plant species were inventoried over the course of the study.

  • Landscaping Near Black Walnut Trees
    Selecting juglone-tolerant plants Landscaping Near Black Walnut Trees Black walnut trees (Juglans nigra) can be very attractive in the home landscape when grown as shade trees, reaching a potential height of 100 feet. The walnuts they produce are a food source for squirrels, other wildlife and people as well. However, whether a black walnut tree already exists on your property or you are considering planting one, be aware that black walnuts produce juglone. This is a natural but toxic chemical they produce to reduce competition for resources from other plants. This natural self-defense mechanism can be harmful to nearby plants causing “walnut wilt.” Having a walnut tree in your landscape, however, certainly does not mean the landscape will be barren. Not all plants are sensitive to juglone. Many trees, vines, shrubs, ground covers, annuals and perennials will grow and even thrive in close proximity to a walnut tree. Production and Effect of Juglone Toxicity Juglone, which occurs in all parts of the black walnut tree, can affect other plants by several means: Stems Through root contact Leaves Through leakage or decay in the soil Through falling and decaying leaves When rain leaches and drips juglone from leaves Nuts and hulls and branches onto plants below. Juglone is most concentrated in the buds, nut hulls and All parts of the black walnut tree produce roots and, to a lesser degree, in leaves and stems. Plants toxic juglone to varying degrees. located beneath the canopy of walnut trees are most at risk. In general, the toxic zone around a mature walnut tree is within 50 to 60 feet of the trunk, but can extend to 80 feet.
