  • October 2009 Newsletter
    THE ALPINE GARDEN SOCIETY CENTRAL SUSSEX GROUP NEWSLETTER OCTOBER 2009 Dr. & Mrs. R. WALLIS IRAN CASPIAN TO KOPET DAG Iran has a multiplicity of climate zones, even with the comparatively narrow band that borders the Caspian Sea – from semi-desert to dense forest. Access is now much easier than when Furze, Archibald and Mathew explored the flora 50 years ago and paved roads now exist when earlier there were mainly dirt tracks. The Caspian Sea is the largest enclosed body of water on earth by area, six times that of Canada's Lake Superior and over 40% of the world's lakes. The Volga River, the largest in Europe is the source of 80% of the Caspian’s freshwater inflow, but there is no outflow; evaporation condenses and contributes to the varying water level. See note at end We began our journey at the Azadi monument in Tehran built in 1973 to commemorate 200 years of the Persian empire. 330Km to the north west is Zanjan and en route through mud hills lots of plants, some in salty gulleys - Hulthemia berberfidifolia (Rosa persica – the name given by Paul Furse's to his Land Rover), Eremurus persicus (282/515) on south facing slopes and Astrasgalus spp. A view of an ancient bridge and more plants – colour forms of very early (March) flowering Fritillaria gibbosa (2`8/360, 295/71) also seen after producing very winged pods, Iris meda, (67/262, 71/415) 6 to 8” high with quite variable ground colour and honey scented, one specimen with 20-30 flowers, a worthy Farrer plant! Tulips have identifiable problems – the keys never work, but red or yellow flowered (but never together) Tulipa montana is to be found all over the Elburz.

  • Ecology and Phytosociology of Cotoneaster Shrublands in Central Alborz of Iran
    2018, vol. 79, 47–60 http://dx.doi.org/10.12657/denbio.079.005 Hooman Ravanbakhsh, Behnam Hamzeh’ee, Alireza Moshki Ecology and phytosociology of Cotoneaster shrublands in Central Alborz of Iran Received: 8 April 2017; Accepted: 31 October 2017 Abstract: The genus Cotoneaster is considered an important taxon in the woodlands of the Mediterranean and Irano-Turanian regions. Some species of this genus were reported from the Irano-Turanian alpine wood- lands. Irano-Turanian mountainous wood and shrublands have a great importance in terms of water and soil conservation, biodiversity and plant richness. There is a lack of quantitative and qualitative statistics available for many of these ecosystems. This research focused on the ecology and phytosociology of Cotone- aster shrublands in central Alborz (Iran), with emphasis on C. kotschyi, an endemic drought-tolerant species. Data was collected based on the Braun-Blanquet method. TWINSPAN was used to analyse the vegetation data. Species-environment analysis was performed by CCA (Canonical Correspondence Analysis) and one- way ANOVA. Relevés were classified into three distinct groups regarding their floristic composition. By organizing the phytosociological table, a new subassociation was defined and named as Rhamno pallasii-Juniperetum excel- sae cotoneastretosum kotschyi subass. nova. This syntaxon is distributed in the range of 2,200–2,430 m a.s.l. between two other groups, i.e. Cotoneastro nummulariis-Juniperetum excelsae and Rhamno pallasii-Juniperetum excelsae. Cotoneaster kotschyi ecologically is near to Rhamnus pallasii which is characteristic for Juniper com- munities on shallow soils and stony lands. Among the environmental variables, slope, soil texture, pH, lime and saturation percent are the most important distinguishing factors of this subassociation.

  • Lake Van Greentours Itinerary Wildlife Holiday Botanical Tour Turkey
    Lake Van A Greentours Itinerary Days 1 & 2 Istanbul To Dogubeyazit An early evening arrival in Istanbul will give us time to visit the fabulous Blue Mosque situated right next to our hotel before flying on to Van in the morning. The scenery around Van is quite breath-taking - the immense lake is encircled by range after range of beautiful snow-capped peaks and the lake's waters turn turquoise, blue, white or even reddish depending on wind and weather. Already we'll be enjoying Irises and the first three species of fritillary in flower - widespread pinardii, elegant caucasica, and the lovely tubby yellow and dark chocolate bells of the grossheimiana form of crassifolia. As we descend from the high Tendürek Pass, the perfect snowy cone of Ararat rises before us. It dominates the landscape in the manner of those East African giants, Kilimanjaro and Kenya and indeed is nearly as high as the latter reaching almost 17,000 feet. Amidst the only trees for miles around and beneath limestone crags our hotel enjoys unparalleled views of Ararat's magnificence. The garden offers protection to many migrants, and the crags above are the haunt of Imperial Eagles, Lanner and many fine plants such as the blue lily-like Ixiolirion tataricum. Day 3 Ararat's Hinterland At the foot of Ararat blooms many Iris enthusiasts' Holy Grail - Iris iberica. The large falls are heavily veined deep maroon, the centres almost black. These are crowned by extraordinary snowy white standards lightly touched with purple. Growing with this beauty are Gladiolus atroviolaceous and Orchis coriophora.

  • IRG Contains Descriptions of Three New Plant Species
    International Rock Gardener ISSN 2053-7557 Number 108 The Scottish Rock Garden Club December 2018 ---International Rock Gardener--- December 2018 This issue of IRG contains descriptions of three new plant species. Janis Rukšāns discusses Crocus of series Kotschyani and describes a new species, Crocus hatayensis from Turkey, Janis Rukšāns and Henrik Zetterlund define a new Eranthis species from Iran, and John Watson dedicates a new Viola species to a very special person. We hope you find this an exciting way to conclude our ninth year of publication. Cover photo: Viola F.& W.11580. Cerro Atravesada, Picunches Dept., Argentina, byJohn M. Watson. ---Species description--- Eranthis iranica (Ranunculaceae) Rukšāns & Zetterlund - new species of winter aconite from Iran Janis Rukšāns, Dr. biol. h.c. (Latvia) [email protected] Henrik Zetterlund, Gothenburg Botanical garden (Sweden) Published in International Rock Gardener (IRG 108) December 2018, pages 2 - 19. Summary: Species of Eranthis (Shibateranthis) from Iran and Central Asia are discussed; a new species Eranthis iranica is described. Key words: Iran, Central Asia, Eranthis iranica, Eranthis longistipitata. Winter aconites (Eranthis Salisb.) are very popular garden plants. The most widely grown is Eranthis hyemalis (L.) Salisb. - native in European woods from SE France up to Bulgaria and naturalized in Britain. It is one of the first yellow flowering bulbous plants blooming in early spring in shady places together with snowdrops and snowflakes. Many cultivars have been raised, especially in the last years, when some kind of “eranthophilia” similar to other flower “philias” began. In Turkey Eranthis hyemalis is replaced by E. cilicica Schott & Kotschy - superficially very similar but having more dissected leaves and bracts, often tinged bronze.
