David Millward's Ramonda Nathaliae Took the Top Award in Aberdeen. I
David Millward’s Ramonda nathaliae took the top award in Aberdeen. I was unable to get to Aber- deen again this year but from the photograph tak- en by Stan da Prato I can tell that this was a mag- nificent plant, try counting the flowers. I stopped at 100! In my garden I am happy if my Ramondas flower at all. David’s plant also has perfect leaves. Mine have leaves which turn brown at the hint of sunshine. It also looks good all from all sides. This degree of perfection is a tribute to David’s skill as a cultivator. Well done David I was interested to see that David’s superb plant has been raised from seed col- lected by Jim & Jenny Archi- bald. According to Jim’s field notes which are on the SRGC web site, it was collected as Ramonda serbica, [difficult to tell the difference out of flow- er] in the Radika Valley and Gorge in ‘Yugoslavian Mac- edonia’, along with Lilium martagon and Sempervivum heuffellii Ramonda nathaliae grows in Serbia and Macedonia, mostly in the east of both countries. Where- as most flowers in Gesneriaceae have of five lobes in their flower, Ramonda nathaliae has two fused petals which give the overall appearance of four lobes (usually), making it distinctive among Gesneriad flowers. The Ramonda nathaliae flower is considered a symbol of the Serbian Army’s struggle during World War I. The plant was scientifically described in 1884 from speci- mens growing around Niš, by Sava Petrović and Josif Pančić, who named it after Queen Natalija Obrenović of Serbia. -

November 2013 ---International Rock Gardener--- November 2013
International Rock Gardener ISSN 2053-7557 Number 47 The Scottish Rock Garden Club November 2013 ---International Rock Gardener--- November 2013 As most gardeners know, taxonomic changes can be fraught with controversy, for any number of reasons! Take for instance the name of the beautiful endemic gesneriad from Mount Olympus, Jankaea heldreichii – still ‘unresolved’ in the Kew Plant List. In 1993 a paper by Christian Feuillet detailed the need to change the names of various Jankaea hybrids to comply with the Jancaea name. Z.Z. writes: “We Czechs do not like the deformation of the good name Jankaea to Jancaea, because the honoured Hungarian botanist had the name Janka and not Janca.” A search around the internet will show that many others also prefer this form – including Josef Halda, who described several such hybrids, some of which are among plants from the Gesneriaceae featured this month. Cover: Ramonda nathaliae on limestone south of Skoplje in Macedonia, picture by Z.Z. ---Plant Portraits--- Two New Intergeneric Hybrids in the Family Gesneriaceae by Josef.J.Halda, drawings by Jarmila Haldová, pictures by Z.Z. (From Acta Mus. Richnoviensis (Sect. natur.), 19(3–4): 49-54) In the spring of 1973 I received from the Geneva-based Aymon Correvon* a plant named Jankaea vandedemii, resembling Jankaea heldreichii with almost globose leaves, which later bloomed with lavender blue flowers, though only shallowly campanulate ones. In response to my question on the origin of the plant he answered that he got it from Mr. Vandedem, Holland, who is supposedly also the author of this hybrid, the parents of which are the Greek Jankaea heldreichii as the mother plant and the father is the Pyrenean Ramonda myconii. -

Nuclear DNA Content in Sinningia (Gesneriaceae); Intraspecific Genome Size Variation and Genome Characterization in S
1066 Nuclear DNA content in Sinningia (Gesneriaceae); intraspecific genome size variation and genome characterization in S. speciosa David Zaitlin and Andrew J. Pierce Abstract: The Gesneriaceae (Lamiales) is a family of flowering plants comprising >3000 species of mainly tropical origin, the most familiar of which is the cultivated African violet (Saintpaulia spp.). Species of Gesneriaceae are poorly repre- sented in the lists of taxa sampled for genome size estimation; measurements are available for three species of Ramonda and one each of Haberlea, Saintpaulia, and Streptocarpus, all species of Old World origin. We report here nuclear genome size estimates for 10 species of Sinningia, a neotropical genus largely restricted to Brazil. Flow cytometry of leaf cell nu- clei showed that holoploid genome size in Sinningia is very small (approximately two times the size of the Arabidopsis genome), and is small compared to the other six species of Gesneriaceae with genome size estimates. We also documented intraspecific genome size variation of 21%–26% within a group of wild Sinningia speciosa (Lodd.) Hiern collections. In addition, we analyzed 1210 genome survey sequences from S. speciosa to characterize basic features of the nuclear ge- nome such as guanine–cytosine content, types of repetitive elements, numbers of protein-coding sequences, and sequences unique to S. speciosa. We included several other angiosperm species as genome size standards, one of which was the snap- dragon (Antirrhinum majus L.; Veronicaceae, Lamiales). Multiple measurements on three accessions indicated that the ge- nome size of A. majus is *633 Â 106 base pairs, which is approximately 40% of the previously published estimate. -

Areal može biti kompaktni ili cjeloviti što znači da je sastavljen od jednog kontinuiranog dijela te disjuktni ili raskidani što znači da se sastoji od više dijelova koji su međusobno prostorno udaljeni i biljka tu udaljenost ne može premostiti prirodnim načinom rasprostranjivanja (disjuktni areal nastaje kada se raspadne jedan cjeloviti areal) npr. neke visokoplaninske vrste (Frey i Lösch 2004, Šilić 1990). Uzroci koji uvjetuju nastanak i granice areala jedne vrste su sljedeći: klimatski, geografski (mora, planine), konkurencija drugih vrsta, razdvajanje kopna u prošlosti, utjecaj čovjeka...
