Genus Primula L. (Primulaceae) is represented in Bulgaria by 8 species. The study is an observation of the whole recent collection of the genus, stored in the Herbarium of Agricultural University – Plovdiv (SOA). The collection consists of 352 herbarium sheets (185 of them from Bulgarian localities), representing 36 species (8 from Bulgaria). The chorological information from the literature and from the herbarium specimens is databased and mapped. Inspite of the relatively low representativeness, the Primula collection of SOA is an important resource for the taxonomical and chorological investigations in this group. Key words: Primula, herbaria collection, SOA. Introduction where about 300 species of Primula known, The typical genus Primula consists about and the process of describing new taxa 500 species, with highiest diversity level in continues (YUAN XU et al., 2016). the mountain regions of Eastern Asia (HU & Historically, the knowledge of the genus KELSO, 1996), Himalayas and West China in our flora can be tracked back to the first (KOVTONIUK & GONCHAROV, 2009).

  • P27-30 Auriculas Layout 1
    New series double auriculas Graeme P. Butler Occasionally, by chance or cultivation, a plant appears that changes the way we look at a species or hybrid. Sometimes such newcomers increase growers’ Graeme Butler © profits, but my desire to eliminate faults and improve an existing plant group was the driving force behind a hobby that started some 25 years ago and only later became my livelihood. If plant breeders could restore the scent to Dianthus, and increase disease resistance in roses, then why shouldn’t I rise to the challenge of improving my favourite plant? For many years I had been collecting Fig. 1 Primula auricula ‘Black Jack’ and hybridising double auriculas, but I wasn’t entirely happy with their undesirable trait of weak flower stalks, a fault common to many plants which have been bred for extra petals and/or flower size. Then in1994 I noticed a chance seedling which I felt sure would mark the way forward. My plant not only surprised me by having a liberal dusting of farina, which is unusual for a double, but also short, thick, inch-tall flower stalks. It was, in fact, a mutation. The subsequently named ‘Black Jack’ (fig. 1) had dark, reddish-claret flowers which sat well Graeme Butler with the silvery farina. Twelve years on, © curiously, it remains the only auricula to hold Plant Breeders’ Rights. The National Auricula and Primula Society states that all display exhibits should have their flower stems supported by a short cane, discreetly tied. This isn’t practical in the commercial trade, of course! In my capacity as a professional nurseryman, I saw some hope for improvement.

    WHAT’S SO IMPORTANT ABOUT NAMES? Topics Covered: Classificaon and taxonomy Understanding the importance of Linnaeus’s contribuon to science Making and using keys What’s in a name? Giving something a name allows us to talk about it. Names are important not only for people, but also for the plants we culvate in our gardens. In the early days of botany (the 17th and early 18th centuries) plants were given long Lan phrases for names that described their parcular features. As more plants became known, names tended to become longer, and much more difficult to remember and use. Then, in the 18th century, a Swedish biologist named Carl Linnaeus developed and popularised a two‐name (binomial) system for all plant species—GENUS and SPECIES. His system is sll in use today. A useful definion GENUS: A group of organisms SPECIES: that have certain characteriscs in of a species is a group of organisms common but can be divided further which can interbreed to produce into other groups (i.e. into species) ferle offspring Binomial names The use of only two words (the binomial name) made it much easier to categorise and compare different plants and animals. Imagine, for instance, talking about a type of geranium using the old name: Geranium pedunculis bifloris, caule dichotomo erecto, foliis quinquepars incisis; summis sessilibus The binomial name is much easier to use: Geranium maculatum 1 WHAT’S SO IMPORTANT ABOUT NAMES? Who was Carl Linnaeus? Carl Linnaeus (1707–1778) was born and brought up in and around Råshult, in the countryside of southern Sweden.

  • Reproductive Biology of Island and Mainland Populations of Primula Mistassinica (Primulaceae) on Lake Huron Shorelines
    1819 Reproductive biology of island and mainland populations of Primula mistassinica (Primulaceae) on Lake Huron shorelines Brendon M.H. Larson and Spencer C.H. Barrett Abstract: To investigate the influence of insularity on plant reproductive biology at a local geographic scale, we examined aspects of reproduction in distylous Primula mistassinica Michx. (Primulaceae) on Lake Huron shorelines of the Bruce Peninsula and adjacent Tobermory Islands in Ontario, Canada. A total of 7 mainland and 13 nearshore island populations were compared. Controlled pollinations demonstrated that P. mistassinica possesses a dimorphic incompatibility system with intermorph crosses setting significantly more seeds than self or intramorph crosses. Floral morphology, population style-morph ratios, and seed fertility were compared in mainland and nearshore island populations to determine whether there was evidence for differences in reproductive traits between these areas. Style-morph ratios did not differ significantly from equilibrium expectations, and there were no consistent differences between island and mainland populations in floral morphology or fertility. Rather, the generalized pollination system of P. mistassinica and extensive historical opportunities for colonization appear to have mitigated insular effects so that proximate ecological factors are more relevant to the current reproductive biology of populations. Key words: distyly, insularity, pollination, reproductive biology. Résumé : Afin d’étudier l’influence de l’insularité sur la biologie reproductive des plantes à l’échelle géographique locale, les auteurs ont examiné des aspects de la reproduction chez le Primula mistassinica Michx. (Primulaceae) distyle, venant sur les rives du lac Huron bordant la péninsule de Bruce et sur les îles Tobermory adjacentes, en Ontario, au Canada. Ils ont comparé au total 7 populations continentales et 13 populations insulaires riveraines.
