The Alien Vascular Flora of Tuscany (Italy)
Quad. Mus. St. Nat. Livorno, 26: 43-78 (2015-2016) 43 The alien vascular fora of Tuscany (Italy): update and analysis VaLerio LaZZeri1 SUMMARY. Here it is provided the updated checklist of the alien vascular fora of Tuscany. Together with those taxa that are considered alien to the Tuscan vascular fora amounting to 510 units, also locally alien taxa and doubtfully aliens are reported in three additional checklists. The analysis of invasiveness shows that 241 taxa are casual, 219 naturalized and 50 invasive. Moreover, 13 taxa are new for the vascular fora of Tuscany, of which one is also new for the Euromediterranean area and two are new for the Mediterranean basin. Keywords: Vascular plants, Xenophytes, New records, Invasive species, Mediterranean. RIASSUNTO. Si fornisce la checklist aggiornata della fora vascolare aliena della regione Toscana. Insieme alla lista dei taxa che si considerano alieni per la Toscana che ammontano a 510 unità, si segnalano in tre ulteriori liste anche i taxa che si ritengono essere presenti nell’area di studio anche con popolazioni non autoctone o per i quali sussistono dubbi sull’effettiva autoctonicità. L’analisi dello status di invasività mostra che 241 taxa sono casuali, 219 naturalizzati e 50 invasivi. Inoltre, 13 taxa rappresentano una novità per la fora vascolare di Toscana, dei quali uno è nuovo anche per l’area Euromediterranea e altri due sono nuovi per il bacino del Mediterraneo. Parole chiave: Piante vascolari, Xenofte, Nuovi ritrovamenti, Specie invasive, Mediterraneo. Introduction establishment of long-lasting economic exchan- ges between close or distant countries. As a result The Mediterranean basin is considered as one of this context, non-native plant species have of the world most biodiverse areas, especially become an important component of the various as far as its vascular fora is concerned.

175617 Planting Bulbs
UC Marin Master Gardeners Telephone: 415/473-4204 Website: http://www.marinmg.org Advice to Grow By … Ask Us! IT'S THAT BULB-PLANTING TIME OF YEAR AGAIN By Marie Narlock, Marin Master Gardener Edited from the original Marin Independent Journal article for the Master Gardener website by Nanette Londeree The easiest way to assure that your next spring garden explodes with flowers is to plant bulbs right now. Daffodils, paperwhites, tulips - these are the blinking lights of spring, whether they're popping up in pots or covering forgotten hillsides. One autumn I planted a large combo bushel of bulbs under an old pear tree. These were close-outs from various nurseries, a 100 or so laggards that didn't sell because they were misshapen or unfamiliar. I jammed them into the ground with abandon. I didn't know what half of them were, but decided to take a chance. I was floored that spring when masses of spiky, brilliant flowers of all heights and scents poked up for weeks on end, their cheery faces welcoming warmer days. That area has since been tilled and re- tilled, but I am still greeted every spring by a few diehards. Bulbs are great for lazy gardeners like me. They demand so little, yet give back so much. Take daffodils, for instance. These charmers are popular for many reasons: they thrive in our climate, require no summer water, work in the toughest imaginable spots, multiply over the years, look fabulous in vases and are completely ignored by deer. Sold everywhere from big box stores to online specialty nurseries, daffodils come in a wide variety of bright yellow and white, sizes and prices.

The * Droppers' of Tulipa and Erythronium
The * Droppers' of Tulipa and Erythronium. BY AGNES ROBERTSON, D.Sc. Qiiain Student in Botany, University College, London. With Plates XXXI and XXXH. I. INTRODUCTION. N the course of Miss Ethel Sargant's examination of monocotyledonous I seedlings, she noticed in the Tulip and Dog's Tooth Violet the peculiar descending stolons known to gardeners as ' droppers.' These seemed to show features of some interest, and since the question lay outside the main line of her research, she proposed to me early in 190a that I should find out what work had been done on the subject, and. try to investigate it further. I am indebted to Miss Sargant not only for suggesting this research, but also for handing over to me her Tulipa and Erythronium seedlings, and allowing me to examine her preparations of these genera. I have also to thank Mr. R. I. Lynch, M.A., of the Botanic Garden, Cambridge, and Mr. E. Aveling Green, of Berrystead, Beds, who have been most generous in supplying me with material and information. This investigation has been carried out in the laboratory of University College, and I have much pleasure in acknowledging the kind help I have received from Professor F. W. Oliver, especially in connexion with the literature. II. THE MOVEMENTS OF BULBS IN THE SOIL. (a) Migration. A great drawback of the vegetative reproduction so characteristic of bulbous plants is that it tends to overcrowding. The lateral bulbs are produced close together, and have no opportunity of colonizing fresh soil. This is got over in certain special cases by the replacement of sessile by stalked bulblets.

The work for this thesis was done between September 2012 and February 2013. I would like to thank Mengli Xi for her constant help in explaining GISH to me. Some of the tables and pictures I used in this report are made by her. Furthermore I would like to thank my supervisors Jaap Van Tuyl and Paul Arens for their guidance in the, sometimes difficult, process of completing this thesis. I would like to thank everyone from the ornamental breeding group and all others who have helped me to understand the complex processes of GISH and interspecific hybrids.
