A check list of the taxa of the family Orchidaceae found in the Iberian Peninsula and the Balearic Islands is presented in alphabetical order. This section includes the genera from Aceras to Nigritella, down to the rank of variety, but excluding hybrids. We have gathered together the correct names, with their corresponding place of publication, synonyms and indicatio locotypica. Also included are some observations in those genera and species that present nomenclatural and taxonomic problems. Key words: Orchidaceae, nomenclature, taxonomy, Iberian Peninsula, Balearic Islands.

Larger and heavier seeds were found in plants growing on the heavy metal polluted site, while no differences in seed density were detected between seeds produced by plants growing on the contaminated and the control site. Moreover, seed coats and embryos varying together in their dimensions were described in the control population, while coats varying in their size independently from embryos were described in plants growing on the polluted site. Seeds from the two studied populations significantly differed in several parameters suggesting that intraspecific seed variability occurred in the case study.

  • How Can a Modern History of the Basque Country Make Sense? on Nation, Identity, and Territories in the Making of Spain

    How Can a Modern History of the Basque Country Make Sense? on Nation, Identity, and Territories in the Making of Spain

    HOW CAN A MODERN HISTORY OF THE BASQUE COUNTRY MAKE SENSE? ON NATION, IDENTITY, AND TERRITORIES IN THE MAKING OF SPAIN JOSE M. PORTILLO VALDES Universidad del Pais Vasco Center for Basque Studies, University of Nevada (Reno) One of the more recurrent debates among Basque historians has to do with the very object of their primary concern. Since a Basque political body, real or imagined, has never existed before the end of the nineteenth century -and formally not until 1936- an «essentialist» question has permanently been hanging around the mind of any Basque historian: she might be writing the histo- ry of an non-existent subject. On the other hand, the heaviness of the «national dispute» between Basque and Spanish identities in the Spanish Basque territories has deeply determined the mean- ing of such a cardinal question. Denying the «other's» historicity is a very well known weapon in the hands of any nationalist dis- course and, conversely, claiming to have a millenary past behind one's shoulders, or being the bearer of a single people's history, is a must for any «national» history. Consequently, for those who consider the Spanish one as the true national identity and the Basque one just a secondary «decoration», the history of the Basque Country simply does not exist or it refers to the last six decades. On the other hand, for those Basques who deem the Spanish an imposed identity, Basque history is a sacred territory, the last refuge for the true identity. Although apparently uncontaminated by politics, Basque aca- demic historiography gently reproduces discourses based on na- - 53 - ESPANA CONTEMPORANEA tionalist assumptions.
  • Methodological Approach to the Study of Archaeological Mortars and Plasters from Mediterranean Sites

    Methodological Approach to the Study of Archaeological Mortars and Plasters from Mediterranean Sites

    PLINIUS n. 40, 2014 METHODOLOGICAL APPROACH TO THE STUDY OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL MORTARS AND PLASTERS FROM MEDITERRANEAN SITES RAFFAELLA DE LUCA Dipartimento di Biologia, Ecologia e Scienze della Terra, Università della Calabria, Via P. Bucci, 87036 Arcavacata di Rende (CS) The archaeometric study of ancient mortars and plasters has recently seen substantial development. This type of approach has been particularly interesting in order to obtain information on the raw materials used for the mixtures of these materials, their provenience and the technological processes involved in their manufacture, and therefore to shed some light into different aspects related to past life and technology. At the same time, the archaeometric study of mortars and plasters provides information on the history of the buildings/monuments analyzed, identifying the constructive phases and/or the different manufactures (Bakolas et al., 1995; Vendrell-Saz et al., 1996; Franzini et al., 2000; Moropoulou et al., 2000, 2003; Crisci et al., 2001, 2004; Damiani et al., 2003; Meir et al., 2005; Silva et al., 2005; Riccardi et al., 2007; Pavía & Caro, 2008; Franquelo et al., 2008; Barba et al., 2009; Jackson et al., 2009; Miriello et al., 2010, 2011a, 2011b, 2013a, 2013b; Barca et al., 2013). The present work proposes a methodological approach to be followed for the archaeometric study of ancient mortars and plasters. The methodology is based on the characterization of the samples through the application of a series of diagnostic methods. The analytical techniques used are: optical microscopy in transmitted polarized light (OM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectroscopy microanalysis (SEM-EDS), image analysis by JMicroVision software, and methods of statistical multivariate analysis of the compositional data.

Moreover, this examination highlights which species appear to be underprotected and therefore need to be included in some catalogues of protection or be catalogued under some category of protection. Te national and regional catalogues that should be implemented are shown, as well as what species should be included within them.

For this exceptional voyage we have selected four destinations that are especially fascinating examples of the complex history of the Mediterranean: Sicily, Sardinia, Corsica, and the Balearic Islands. This May, we would like you to join us on a private-style cruise to these delightful islands. The Carthaginians and the Greeks, the Romans and the Byzantines, the Arabs and the Normans all influenced the history and culture of Sicily. We’ll visit the magnificent Doric temple at Segesta, built by Greek colonists in 420 B.C., and explore the ancient town of Erice, dominated by a 12th-century Norman castle standing on the remains of a temple that tradition says was built by the Trojans. Sardinia is an especially remarkable island, with more than 7,000 prehistoric sites dating back nearly 4,000 years. We’ll explore the finest of these Nuraghic sites, as well as Alghero, an enchanting port town that for centuries was ruled by the kings of Aragon. To this day, many residents of Alghero speak the island’s Catalan dialect. The Balearic Islands are an archipelago off the northeast coast of Spain.
