Newsletter 18 Report from the Chairman Colin Hall The Tree Register reaches maturity 2009 gives us cause for celebration since it is the 21st Once again thanks are due to all our supporters anniversary of the conception of The Tree Register. We during 2008 and to David Alderman, our registrar, celebrated with a fine day at Kew, where we were pleased to Owen Johnson and Aubrey Fennell and all our other see so many supporters for the Alan Mitchell Lecture and tree recorders and Pamela Stevenson, our hard Tony Kirkham spoke enthusiastically on the history of 250 working honorary secretary. years of Trees at Kew. The Silent Auction of rare and unusual trees was again a great success, raising over £1,000. Many thanks are due to Tony for organising everything for us at Kew as well as to Chris Carnaghan, Harry Hay, Maurice Foster, Rupert Eley, Roy Lancaster, David Millais and others for providing the plants for the auction. A Kew guide leads supporters beneath the Acer cappadocicum ‘Aureum’. on a champion tree trail. Some of the Silent Auction plants: Aesculus sylvatica; Aesculus turbinata; Sorbus hupehensis and Sorbus glabrescens. It was in 1988 that Alan Mitchell and Vicky Schilling (then Vicky Hallett) took the necessary steps to establish The Tree Register as a registered charity, securing the support of many who knew them well to get the charity up and running. The records were then all hand written and not easy to access, but computerisation followed, with the result that today we have some 170,000 records, with the Champion Tree data easily accessible through our website. Our objective continues to be to maintain, update and expand our unique tree database, to high professional standards, with partnerships and relationships with others (such as The Woodland Trust, RBG Kew and the Ancient Yew Group) to enable all to use our records.

Dietary profile of Rhinopithecus bieti and its socioecological implications Abstract To enhance our understanding of dietary adaptations and socioecological correlates in colobines, we conducted a 20-mo study of a wild group of Rhinopithecus bieti (Yunnan snub-nosed monkeys) in the montane Samage Forest. This forest supports a patchwork of evergreen broadleaved, evergreen coniferous, and mixed deciduous broadleaved/ coniferous forest assemblages with a total of 80 tree species in 23 families. The most common plant families by basal area are the predominantly evergreen Pinaceae and Fagaceae, comprising 69% of the total tree biomass.

  • Plant Introduction, Distribution, and Survival: a Case Study of the 1980 Sino-American Botanical Expedition
    03 June Forum Dossman 5/13/03 2:58 PM Page 2 Forum Plant Introduction, Distribution, and Survival: A Case Study of the 1980 Sino-American Botanical Expedition MICHAEL DOSMANN AND PETER DEL TREDICI The 1980 Sino-American Botanical Expedition (SABE) to the Shennongjia Forest District, Hubei Province, China, was the first botanical collect- ing trip by American scientists to that country since 1949. It was significant because the area visited had high species diversity and because the col- lected germplasm was widely distributed to a variety of botanical institutions throughout North America and Europe. This report documents the survival of this germplasm after 22 years of cultivation. Of the original 621 SABE collections, 258 are represented by plants growing in at least 18 different botanical institutions. The fact that 115 of these collections (45 percent) are represented by a single accession growing in a single location suggests that the plant introduction process is much more tenuous than has been generally assumed. This study also highlights the importance of data sharing among botanical institutions as the most effective way of determining the uniqueness of a given collection and assessing its environ- mental adaptability or invasiveness, or both, over a broad range. Keywords: plant exploration; Shennongjia Forest District, China; collections’ documentation; invasive species nder the joint auspices of the Chinese Academy (2936 m), Xiaoshennongjia (3005 m), Dashennongjia (3052 Uof Sciences and the Botanical Society of America, the m), and Wuming Shan (3105 m) are the highest peaks in the 1980 Sino-American Botanical Expedition (SABE) investigated district (Bartholomew et al. 1983a).

  • Traditional Knowledge and Its Transmission of Wild Edibles Used
    Geng et al. Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine (2016) 12:10 DOI 10.1186/s13002-016-0082-2 RESEARCH Open Access Traditional knowledge and its transmission of wild edibles used by the Naxi in Baidi Village, northwest Yunnan province Yanfei Geng1,2, Yu Zhang1, Sailesh Ranjitkar1,3, Huyin Huai4 and Yuhua Wang1* Abstract Background: The collection and consumption of wild edibles is an important part in livelihood strategies throughout the world. There is an urgent need to document and safeguard the wild food knowledge, especially in remote areas. The aims of this study are to accomplish detailed investigation of wild edibles used by the Naxi in Baidi village and evaluate them to identify innovative organic food products. Also, we aim to explore the characteristics of distribution and transmission of the traditional knowledge (TK) on wild edibles among the Naxi. Methods: Data was collected through a semi-structured interview of key informants above the age of 20 years, chosen carefully by a snowball sampling. The interviews were supplemented by free lists and participatory observation methods. Informants below 20 years were interviewed to test their knowledge of traditional practices. A quantitative index like Cultural Importance Index (CI) was used to evaluate the relative importance of the different wild edibles. Linear regression and t-test were performed to test variation in the TK among the informants of different age groups and genders. Results: Altogether 173 wild edible plant species belonging to 76 families and 139 genera were recorded in the study. Cardamine macrophylla, C. tangutorum and Eutrema yunnanense, have traditionally been consumed as an important supplement to the diet, particularly during food shortages as wild vegetables.

  • Tree Planting and Management
    COMMONWEALTH WAR GRAVES COMMISSION Tree Planting and Management Breadth of Opportunity The spread of the Commission's responsibilities over some 148 countries in temperate, mediterranean, tropical and desert climates provides wonderful opportunities to experiment with nature's wealth of tree species. We are particularly fortunate in being able to grow many interesting and beautiful trees and we will explain how we manage them and what splendid specimens they can make. Why Plant Trees? Trees are planted for a variety of reasons: their amenity value, leaf shape and size, flowers, fruit, habit, form, bark, landscape value, shelter or screening, backcloth planting, shade, noise and pollution reduction, soil stabilisation and to encourage wild life. Often we plant trees solely for their amenity value. That is, the beauty of the tree itself. This can be from the leaves such as those in Robinia pseudoacacia 'Frisia', the flowers in the tropical tree Tabebuia or Albizia, the crimson stems of the sealing wax palm (Cyrtostachys renda), or the fruit as in Magnolia grandiflora. above: Sealing wax palms at Taiping War Cemetery, Malaysia with insert of the fruit of Magnolia grandiflora Selection Generally speaking the form of the left: The tropical tree Tabebuia tree is very often a major contributing factor and this, together with a sound knowledge of below: Flowers of the tropical the situation in which the tree is to tree Albizia julibrissin be grown, guides the decision to the best choice of species. Exposure is a major limitation to the free choice of species in northern Europe especially and trees such as Sorbus, Betula, Tilia, Fraxinus, Crataegus and fastigiate yews play an important role in any landscape design where the elements are seriously against a wider selection.

Our study showed that although the majority of the diet was provided by 6 plant genera (Acanthopanax, Sorbus, Acer, Fargesia, Pterocarya, and Cornus), the monkeys fed on 94 plant species and on 150 specific food items. The subjects expressed high selectivity for uncommon angiosperm tree species. The average number of plant species used per month was 16. Dietary diversity varied seasonally, being lowest during the winter and rising dramatically in the spring. The monkeys consumed bamboo shoots in the summer and bamboo leaves throughout the year.
