    Botanische Bestimmungsübungen 1 Euphorbiaceae Euphorbiaceae (Wolfsmilchgewächse) 1 Systematik und Verbreitung Die Euphorbiaceae gehören zu den Eudikotyledonen (Kerneudikotyledonen > Superrosiden > Rosiden > Fabiden). Innerhalb dieser wird die Familie zur Ordnung der Malpighiales (Malpighienartige) gestellt. Die Euphorbiaceae umfassen rund 230 Gattungen mit ca. 6.000 Arten. Sie werden in 4 Unterfamilien gegliedert: 1. Cheilosoideae, 2. Acalyphoideae, 3. Crotonoideae und 4. Euphorbioideae sowie in 6 Triben unterteilt. Die Familie ist überwiegend tropisch verbreitet mit einem Schwerpunkt im indomalaiischen Raum und in den neuweltlichen Tropen. Die Gattung Euphorbia (Wolfsmilch) ist auch in außertropischen Regionen wie z. B. dem Mittelmeerraum, in Südafrika sowie in den südlichen USA häufig. Heimisch ist die Familie mit Mercurialis (Bingelkraut; 2 Arten) und Euphorbia (Wolfsmilch; 20-30 Arten) vertreten. Abb. 1: Verbreitungskarte. 2 Morphologie 2.1 Habitus Die Familie ist sehr vielgestaltig. Es handelt sich um ein- und mehrjährige krautige Pflanzen, Halbsträucher, Sträucher bis große Bäume oder Sukkulenten. Besonders in S-Afrika und auf den Kanarischen Inseln kommen auf hitzebelasteten Trockenstandorten zahlreiche kakteenartige stammsukkulente Arten vor, die in den Sprossachsen immens viel Wasser speichern können. © PD DR.

Nat. Croat. Vol. 27, No. 2, 407- 420*, 2018, Zagreb. In this paper, the plant lists of glasshouse succulents grown in the Botanical Garden from 1895 to 2017 are studied. Synonymy, nomenclature and origin of plant material were sorted. The lists of species grown in the last 122 years are constructed in such a way as to show that throughout that period at least 1423 taxa of succulent plants from 254 genera and 17 families inhabited the Garden’s cold glass- house collection.

A sneak preview The room was small and crowded, people were moving around and chatting all the time: it was very distracting. The 'main event' was a home-video showing the two day ascent of the 4114 m Tromen volcano in Neuquén province, northern Argentinian Patagonia [Figs.1, 2], which gives its name to the provincial nature reserve park there (Parque Provincial El Tromen). The protagonists had been the resident park rangers, and the 'theatre' was their office. It was put on for our benefit, as they'd discovered our interest in the flora as a whole, and violas in particular.

Macaronesicae 18 are distributed in four of the five archipelagos of Macaronesia and two mainland enclaves 19 in Portugal and Morocco. The aims of this study are to investigate the biogeographic 20 history of this group with AFLP and cpDNA markers, and to identify taxonomic entities 21 within subsect. Macaronesicae based on genetic data, characterize them morphologically 22 and infer the evolution of their diagnostic characters based on the reconstruction of 23 ancestral character states. A continuous spatial diffusion analysis of AFLP data 24 implicated Tenerife (central Canary Islands) as the area of origin of the group, followed 25 by colonization of other Canarian islands and other Macaronesian archipelagos.

Their isolation has given rise to many endemic species and subspecies, of which the great views of Tenerife Blue Chaffinch in perfect light were a highlight for many. We marvelled over the flora, so different to that of mainland Europe, and enjoyed the various species of lizards, plus the butterflies and other invertebrates we encountered. The day on La Gomera was a delight, not least for the numbers of Cory’s Shearwaters, whales and dolphins, plus the White-faced Storm Petrels we encountered. Lovely weather with plenty of sunshine, comfortable accommodation, good food and great company all made for an excellent week. Day 1 Saturday 23rd February Fly to Tenerife South – La Chafiras – Road to Vilaflor Fifteen tour group members met with Andrew and Jessica at Gatwick’s North Terminal for the 6.50am Easyjet flight to Tenerife South Airport. After a bit of a delay due to fog at Gatwick, we landed on the island at around 12.15pm, meeting up with our last group member, who had arrived on the island the previous day.

  • The Canary Islands
    The Canary Islands Dragon Trees & Blue Chaffinches A Greentours Tour Report 3rd - 12th February 2018 Leaders: Ian Bennallick and Phil Benstead Friday 2nd February 2018 – Ian to El Patio Ian arrived from Exeter to a sunny and warm southern part of the island and managed to sort ferry tickets but not shopping for the picnics as everywhere closed for a saint’s day. Tenerife had been experiencing stormy weather for a few days which had dumped a lot of snow on Mt Teide, so much that roads up to it were closed. Arriving at El Patio near Garachico on the north coast in the evening, Ian had a delicious dinner in Garachico at Casa Gaspar. Day 0 - Saturday 3rd February 2018 – The group to El Patio With much better weather forecast, Ian picked up Robert and Laura, Peter and Ruth from the airport at lunchtime and soon were driving north. With a couple of hours to explore Ian drove up the road to Mt Teide to check if the endemic and localised orchid Himantoglossum metlesicianum was flowering. Everything looked a bit behind flower wise, and the Canary Island Pine (Pinus canariensis) forest was looking dry. Some Almond (Prunus dulcis) trees were in bloom but the Aeonium spp. were not flowering as they had in 2017. Remembering the pull-in to stop, Ian carefully walked down the slope from the road but could only find leaves of the orchids. Carrying on to EL Patio, Ian had contacted Phil who was picking up Jonathan, Jean and Brian, and confirmed that they were on the way from the airport.
