A few of these were not happy in their location and promptly died, or did so poorly as to warrant their removal. A few new varie- ties were added to the original group, but for the most part these trees have been growing there s~nce the trial plot was first laid out. The collection has been of special interest to home owners in the suburban areas of Boston, who naturally are interested in small ornamental trees. It has also been of considerable interest to the tree wardens of various towns throughout New England, for here one may see many of the best small trees growing side by side, so that comparisons can be easily made. Recently this plot has been of interest to the Electric Council of New England, a group of utility companies which provide various electric services for the public in addition to stringing electric lines for these services. When the right kinds of trees are planted properly in the right places along the streets and highways, there need be but little competition between the trees and the wires.

According to a narrative concerning the early years of Holy Trinity priory in Aldgate, London, known only from fifteenth-century manuscripts, Bernard prior of Dunstaple, John prior of Launde (Landa), Geoffrey de Clinton, the (king’s) chamberlain (Gaufridus camerarius de Clinton), and others named, witnessed the gift of the Cnihtengild in London to Holy Trinity in that year. It is unsurprising that the priors of two recently founded Augustinian houses should witness a gift to Holy Trinity, thought to be the first Augustinian house in England. Their names were presumably taken from a contemporary deed or other record which has not been preserved (Hodgett, Cartulary of Holy Trinity, 168, no. 871; R. R. Sharpe, Calendar of Letter Books, C, 220). The king’s confirmation of the gift, 000, Regesta 1467, also witnessed by Geoffrey de Clinton, is apparently authentic and datable 1123 × 1127, so the narrative’s date of 1125 may well be accurate. Launde priory was founded at Loddington, ‘in cuius territorio abbatia fundata est’, according to Henry II’s general confirmation of 1155 × 1158 (H2/1456).

  • Newsletter Winter 2013 Squirrel Ranger - We Take the Plunge in Ullswater
    Penrith and District Red Squirrel Group Newsletter Winter 2013 Squirrel Ranger - We Take the Plunge in Ullswater P&DRSG have jumped in with both feet and are delighted to confirm that as of 1st February 2013 Christian Bensaid is the new Red Squirrel Ranger for Ullswater. Christian is employed on a part time (three days per week) self employed basis. He is already well known in the area as one of our more active volunteers (regularly seen at shows and events), he has a wealth of experience from his current position as a red squirrel ranger at Center Parcs where he will continue to work for the other two days. We have long aspired to have ranger cover for Ullswater to support and coordi- nate the tremendous volunteer effort and landowner support that already exists throughout the valley but have simply not had the necessary local funding. All this changed however when the Lake District National Park Authority came forward with a grant for funding, sufficiently generous to kick start the project and give us the confidence we needed. All that remains for us to address now, is how on earth do we keep it going? We have applied to Nurture Eden for their support to the project and they have indicated a keen interest to be involved. They provide funding to pay for local conservation and environmental work by inviting voluntary donations from visitors who feel inspired to put something back into looking after the places they love. We would therefore encourage all tourism businesses in Eden/Ullswater to sign up to their innovative scheme.

  • Place Shaping
    4.0 Place Shaping Introduction 4.1 This section sets out proposals for: . Hereford . Bromyard . Kington . Ledbury . Leominster . Ross-on-Wye . Rural Areas 4.1.1 For each area policies and proposals are set out, including a range of broad locations where larger scale or strategic development is proposed. The Core Strategy does not identify specific development sites. For the purpose of the Core Strategy, a strategic location is generally defined as around 500 or above homes for Hereford, around 100 or above homes within the market towns or around 5 hectares or above for employment land. 4.2 Hereford The vision for Hereford 4.2.1 By 2031, Hereford will consist of healthy, safe, secure, low crime and sustainable communities with a wide range of homes and employment opportunities for all, which are well serviced by a range of community facilities, green infrastructure and public transport. The imbalance of housing types and income levels across Hereford, particularly within South Hereford, where there is a high concentration of affordable housing and income deprivation, will be addressed by providing a greater balance and mix of properties and employment opportunities across the city and at the urban extensions. 4.2.2 New communities and neighbourhoods will be successfully integrated with existing communities and the surrounding countryside. Residents will have greener environments and energy efficient homes which contribute to reducing the county’s carbon footprint. Education and community facilities will be provided within walking distance of residential areas. Developers will be encouraged to have early engagement and consultation with the community including the city/town/parish council.

  • Fell End Clouds Near Kirkby Stephen
    Fell End Clouds near Kirkby Stephen County/Area - Cumbria Author - Lou Johnson Length - 3.0 miles / 4.9 km Ascent - 550 feet / 167 metres Grade - easy Start - OS grid reference NY733005 Lat 54.399262 / Long -2.412767 Postcode CA17 4LL (approx. location only) This easy walk explores an area of limestone country that adjoins the western slopes of Wild Boar Fell. Besides the immediate interest provided by the limestone outcrops and pavements you get some fine views across the surrounding countryside including the Eden Valley, the Howgill Fells and northern slopes of Baugh Fell which lies above Dentdale. The start is at grid ref NY734005 where parking is available in an old quarry on the minor road formerly known as "the Street". This minor road is signed Ulldale and Fell End off the A683 Sedbergh to Kirkby Stephen Road. After parking walk towards the main road. On your right there is a stone wall. Leave the minor road just before the wall and follow a track that twists and turns up towards a ridge. In places the track is rather vague but it becomes more obvious as height is gained. The OS Explorer map provides good guidance. As you climb the views improve with the track eventually reaching a col (grid ref. NY742001). Ahead lies rough moorland that forms the western slopes of Wild Boar Fell. Turn right (southwest) along the ridge aiming for a large prominent cairn. Across the valley to your right lie the Howgill Fells with Harter Fell the dominant summit in the foreground. Beyond you can see the hump backed hills that are so typical of the Howgills.

  • Generic Limits of Pyrinae: Insights from Nuclear Ribosomal DNA Sequences
    Botanical Studies (2012) 53: 151-164. SYSTEMATICS Generic limits of Pyrinae: Insights from nuclear ribosomal DNA sequences Qing-Yan LI1, Wei GUO1, Wen-Bo LIAO1,*, James A. MACKLIN2, and Jian-Hua LI3,* 1Sun Yat-sen University, School of Life Sciences, Guangdong Key Laboratory of Plant Resources, Guangzhou, Guangdong, 510275, P.R. China 2Harvard University Herbaria, Organismal and Evolutionary Biology, 22 Divinity Avenue, Cambridge, Massachusetts, 02138, USA 3Biology Department, Hope College, MI 49423, USA (Received August 23, 2010; Accepted October 6, 2011) ABSTRACT. The subtribe Pyrinae, formerly the Maloideae, is a monophyletic group of about 1,000 species that includes well known fruit crops such as apple (Malus), pear (Pyrus), quince (Cydonia), loquat (Eriobotrya), chokeberry (Aronia), and serviceberry (Amelanchier). Generic limits have been fluid in Pyrinae, especially in Malus, Sorbus and Photinia. This study evaluated the generic limits of 180 samples of multiple species or accessions from each of the traditional genera using sequences of the nrDNA ITS region. The ITS data recog- nized 24 genera, including Amelanchier, Aria (including Micromeles), Aronia, Chaenomeles, Chamaemespilus, Chamaemeles, Cormus, Cotoneaster, Crataegus, Cydonia, Dichotomanthes, Eriobotrya, Hesperomeles, Mala- comeles, Malus (including Chloromeles, Docynia, Docyniopsis, and Eriolobus), Mespilus, Osteomeles, Pera- phyllum, Pourthiaea, Pseudocydonia, Pyrus, Rhaphiolepis, Sorbus, and Torminalis. However, both Photinia and Pyracantha are polyphyletic. Photinia is separated into different clades, one of which contains species of Heteromeles and Stranvaesia. Asian species of Pyracantha do not form a clade with P. coccinea of southern Europe and Iran. Our results support the close relationship of Amelanchier, Malacomeles, and Peraphyllum, and of Crataegus and Mespilus, and for the first time recognize the sister relationship of the South American genus Hesperomeles with the Crataegus-Mespilus clade.

EDITOR'S PREFACE. Owing to various circumstances the issue of the present Volume of Transactions has been unavoidably delayed, much to the regret of the Editorial Committee. The death of the late accomplished Editor, Dr. Cecil Moore, deprived the Club of the services of one whose long experience and extensive acquaintance with the subjects which engage the interests of its members made him a difficult man to follow, and some time elapsed before arrangements could be made to take up his work. A great quantity of matter, manuscript and printed, had accumulated in Dr. Moore's hands, and at his death was deposited in the Woolhope Library. To sift and prepare for the press what Dr. Moore had intended for publication has been necessarily a work of time, but it is hoped that the Volume now in the hands of members will justify the delay in publication, and prove not altogether unworthy of its predecessors. Owing to the size of the present Volume several interesting papers are held over to the next Volume. For the carefully prepared Index to the Volume the Club is indebted to Mr. Sledmere. V.

Read Full License Version of Record: A version of this preprint was published at Scientic Reports on August 12th, 2021. See the published version at https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-021-95776-z. Page 1/14 Abstract The genus Chaenomeles has long been considered as an important ornamental, herbal and cash plant and widely cultivated in East Asian. Traditional researches of Chaenomeles mainly focus on evolutionary relationships on phenotypic level. In this study, we conducted RNA-seq for 10 Chaenomeles germplasms supplemented with one related species Docynia delavayi (D. delavay) by Illumina HiSeq2500 platform. After de novo assemblies, we have generated unigenes for each germplasm with numbers from 40 084 to 48 487. By pairwise comparison of the orthologous sequences, 9 659 othologus within the 11 germplasms were obtained, with 6 154 othologous genes identied as single-copy genes. The phylogenetic tree was visualized to reveal evolutionary relationship for these 11 germplasms. GO and KEGG analyses were performed for these common single-copy genes to compare the functional similarities and differences.
