  • A Survey of Floral Structure in Drypetes Vahl (Putranjivaceae) and Related Genera
    A survey of floral structure in Drypetes Vahl (Putranjivaceae) and related genera J. P Tesh Submitted 20.08.2012 Image from Keay, R.W.J. 1958. Scytopetalaceae - Umbelliferae. In Hutchinson, J., Dalziel, JE, eds . Flora of West Tropical Africa (Revised) Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment for the MSc in the Biodiversity and Taxonomy of Plants Abstract The pan-tropical Drypetes Vahl is a genus of 225 species of predominantly understorey rain forest trees recently segregated from Euphorbiaceae Juss. s.l . and placed within Putranjivaceae Meisn. with Putranjiva and Sibangea . Generic limits within Putranjivaceae remain unclear, notably between Drypetes and Sibangea . Within Drypetes rates of species discovery are high and yet the genus is somewhat neglected in the literature and many herbarium samples remain undetermined. Using herbarium material, this study examined approximately one third of the known species. Consistent floral characters that separate the three genera in Putranjivaceae are sepal shape, aestivation and persistence; stamen and locule numbers; ovary shape; the form of the stigma and the presence or absence of an intrastaminal nectiferous disk. Drypetes exhibits variability in floral characters: stamen number and placement is notably labile, and locule numbers, stigma and disk shapes are variable. Geographical differences in floral characters emerge, but conclusions are tentative in view of the restricted sampling. Limited phylogenetic studies hypothesise that Sibangea is nested within a clade of African Drypetes which argues for further study of this interesting, but neglected, group. Key words: Malpighiales; Euphorbiaceae; Putranjivaceae; Drypetes ; Sibangea ; Putranjiva ; placement; floral morphology; geographical differences; herbarium collections. Acknowledgements I would like to express sincere thanks to my principal supervisor Zoë Goodwin (D.

    The Spanish Pyrenees Naturetrek Tour Report 26 May - 2 June 2019 Report by Philip Thompson & Peter Rich Naturetrek Mingledown Barn Wolf's Lane Chawton Alton Hampshire GU34 3HJ UK T: +44 (0)1962 733051 E: [email protected] W: www.naturetrek.co.uk Tour Report The Spanish Pyrenees Tour participants: Philip Thompson & Peter Rich (leaders) with 10 Naturetrek clients Day 1 Sunday 26th May Having arrived into Zaragoza in the mid afternoon, we were soon on our way heading north across the plains towards the pre-Pyrenees and the small historic town of Berdun, our base for the tour. During the journey a selection of familiar birds were seen, with a number of raptors that consisted mainly of Red and Black Kites but also included both Egyptian and Griffon Vultures. We took a short stop opposite the Pinnacles of Riglos to stretch our legs and pick up a few early birds for the trip. Arriving safely at our comfortable converted farmhouse accommodation, we were able to unpack and relax before the first of our tasty and enjoyable dinners. Day 2 Monday 27th May Our first morning was spent with a walk from the hotel through Berdun and on down to the eroded ‘badlands’ beneath the village. Several interesting plants were noted as we made slow progress to a viewpoint across the slopes leading down to the Rio Veral. The Rock Sparrows of the village were picked up, perched on a pylon, giving the group a chance to appreciate the subtle plumage characteristics of these distinctive vocal birds. Our walk led down a rough track to a bridge across the river where we then took a rather overgrown sidetrack that ran alongside the river through the alluvial shingle.

    INDEX SEMINUM 2019 Teplice 2020 BOTANICAL GARDEN TEPLICE The Botanical Garden Teplice was established by the Teplice City Council in 2002 as an independent public body and is fully funded by the Teplice City Council. From the Garden´s total area of two hectares almost a half is dedicated to the open-air display of plants. The exhibition glasshouses cover 2400 m² of land and the storage glasshouses, which are not open to the public, cover 1750 m².Each one of our three glasshouses is dedicated to a distinct climatic zone. THE XERIX GLASSHOUSE Contains flora of the arid regions, of the semi-deserts of Central and South Africa, southern Africa, Madagascar and Arabia and also the small, but very captivating, exhibits of the flora of the Galapagos Islands and the Yemeni island Soquotra. A notable piece of art her eis Mexican pueblo. THE TROPICAL GLASSHOUSE This is the most spacious. It covers an area of over 1000 square meters and stands almost 16 meters high. A lively waterfall, two flowing brooks, a copy of the ruins of a Mexican pyramid, a glazed case with orchids and other rare plants, a pond and aquariums enchance the interior. All plants exhibits are displayed – as in other glasshouses – by their geographical origin and include collections from tropical America, Asia, Australia, Africa and northern Madagascar. Another interesting feature is the „crossworder´s flower-bed“ which is arranged with plants whose names are well known from crosswords but are less well known visually, such as coca, cola, abaca, balsa, anona…. THE SUBTROPICAL GLASSHOUSE Contains Andean flora from Mexico to Patagonia, the Himalayas, also southern Australia and New Zealand, and finally east of South Africa – all having wet winter.
