  • "National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary."
    Intro 1996 National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands The Fish and Wildlife Service has prepared a National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary (1996 National List). The 1996 National List is a draft revision of the National List of Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1988 National Summary (Reed 1988) (1988 National List). The 1996 National List is provided to encourage additional public review and comments on the draft regional wetland indicator assignments. The 1996 National List reflects a significant amount of new information that has become available since 1988 on the wetland affinity of vascular plants. This new information has resulted from the extensive use of the 1988 National List in the field by individuals involved in wetland and other resource inventories, wetland identification and delineation, and wetland research. Interim Regional Interagency Review Panel (Regional Panel) changes in indicator status as well as additions and deletions to the 1988 National List were documented in Regional supplements. The National List was originally developed as an appendix to the Classification of Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the United States (Cowardin et al.1979) to aid in the consistent application of this classification system for wetlands in the field.. The 1996 National List also was developed to aid in determining the presence of hydrophytic vegetation in the Clean Water Act Section 404 wetland regulatory program and in the implementation of the swampbuster provisions of the Food Security Act. While not required by law or regulation, the Fish and Wildlife Service is making the 1996 National List available for review and comment.

    7th February 2015 Welcome to my new seed trade list for 2014-15. 12, 13 and 14 in brackets indicates the harvesting year for the seed. Concerning seed quantity: as I don't have many plants of each species, seed quantity is limited in most cases. Therefore, for some species you may only get a few seeds. Many species are harvested in my garden. Others are surplus from trade and purchase. OUT: Means out of stock. Sometimes I sell surplus seed (if time allows), although this is unlikely this season. NB! Cultivars do not always come true. I offer them anyway, but no guarantees to what you will get! Botanical Name (year of harvest) NB!

  • Research for Policy Development : Industrial Clusters in South China
    CHAPTER 3 Research for policy development: Industrial clusters in South China1 Rigas Arvanitis and Qiu Haixiong Abstract This research study analyses the development of industrial clusters in three institutional contexts in South China to better understand how policies have been developed and implemented to encourage innovation. The authors trace the growth of private enterprises within these clusters, and note that this growth was assisted by local governments and by links with foreign companies, which were instrumental in upgrading networks of suppliers and bringing in foreign expertise. The research shows that innovation centres have begun to create networks of enterprises, improve innovation capacities, and enhance communication with universities and research centres. In some districts, local government policy has promoted innovation centres, especially during diffi cult economic times, when a need for better quality and higher priced products made sense in China. As such, the innovation centres were mainly oriented toward servicing the local industry, rather than maintaining a competitive edge. The research team concludes that ‘marketized’ research centres have a greater probability of success than innovation centres because they base decisions on selling products. Since 1999, China has actively promoted innovation policy to reinforce the technological capabilities of smaller fi rms, while continuing to promote larger multinational fi rms. At the same time, public research centres have undergone rapid ‘marketization’,2 which has transformed many former public engineering research centres into enterprises. It is much too early to assess this strategy, but the speed with which private fi rms and collective enterprises have acquired, adapted and promoted new products, and new productive processes, is remarkable.

Extracts from giant hyssop and catnip have a significant bioactivity, antibacterial and antioxidant activity (Suschke 2007; Zielińska and Matkowski, 2014; Mihaylova 2013). This literature review wants to emphasize the value of these two plants and the opportunity of using them to obtain bioactive extracts with applicability in beekeeping for different pest control. Different parts of the mentioned plants were used for the determination of active principles from macerates and essential oils. Spectrophotometric methods as well as high performance liquid chromatography and gasAgastache chromatography foeniculum are as generally used for determination of bioactive principles from theTribolium classes ofcastaneum polyphenols, flavonoids, carotenoids andRhyzopertha aromatic acids.dominica Remarkable results have been obtained Ephestia using kuehniella the essential oil from Plodia interpunctellaan insecticide for the control of pests like the Red flour beetle ( Herbst), Lesser grainNepeta borer cataria( F.), Mediterranean flour mothStaphylococcus( aureus) Klebsiellaand t h e pneumoniaeIndian meal Pseudomonasmoth ( aeruginosa, Escherichia) from the coligrain and and Bacillus food warehouses subtillis (Ebadollahi,et al., 2011).

  • GIANT ULLEUNG CELERY Stephen Barstow1, Malvik, March 2020
    GIANT ULLEUNG CELERY 1 Stephen Barstow , Malvik, March 2020 Scientific name: Dystaenia takesimana Carrot family (Apiaceae) English: Seombadi, Sobadi, Dwaejipul, giant Ulleung celery, Korean pig-plant, wild celery, giant Korean celery Korean: 섬바디, 드와지풀 Norwegian: Ulleung kjempeselleri Swedish: Ullungloka, Vulkanloka The genus Dystaenia belongs to the carrot family or umbellifers (Apiaceae) and consists of two perennial species, one is a Japanese endemic (Dystaenia ibukiensis), and the other is endemic to a small island, Ulleung-do in Korea (Dystaenia takesimana). Genetic analysis (Pfosser et al., 2005) suggests that the larger D. takesimana evolved from D. ibukiensis rather than vice versa. The specific epithet takesimana is according to one reference to Takeshima Islet, which is disputed with the Japanese. Campanula takesimana is apparently found there. However, Takeshima island is also an alternative name for Ulleung-do, so this may be a misunderstanding. That Ulleung-do is Takeshima is confirmed on the following web site from the Oki Islands off Japan http://www.oki-geopark.jp/en/flowers-calendar/summer where it is stated that Dystaenia takesimana is also found there and is critically endangered: “This plant was designated as Cultural Property of Ama Town in 2012. It has only been discovered on the two isolated islands of Ama Town of the Oki Islands (Nakanoshima Island) and Ulleung-do Island of South Korea. It can be seen on the Akiya Coast in Nakanoshima Island. It is called Takeshima- shishiudo, as Ulleung-do was referred to as Takeshima” (see the map in Figure 1 for places mentioned here). Ulleung-do is a rocky steep-sided volcanic island some 120 km east of the coast of South Korea, the highest peak reaching 984m.

  • Many-Uses-Of-Udo-PM83.Pdf
    THE MANY USES FAMILY: Araliaceae CHINESE: Shi Yong Tu Dang Gui ENGLISH: Japanese Asparagus, Udo of FRENCH: Aralie à Feuilles Cordées GERMAN: Japanische Bergangelika JAPANESE: Udo Stephen Barstow invites you to savour a remarkableU DOwild edible, Udo ralia cordata or udo is grown in many countries and deserves to be much more popular in the West. For what is basically Aa wild plant, it is remarkably productive, and the highest yielding vegetable that I have grown. It is a herbaceous perennial reaching 3m (9.8ft) tall in the course of the summer months. It is a close relative of ginseng (Panax ginseng) and is in fact some- times used as a substitute for the latter. There are about eight herbaceous Aralia species restricted to North America and Asia. Udo is wild-foraged in Japan, Korea and China but so popular in Japan that it is now cultivated. Author Joy Larkcom stumbled on cultivated plants in a market in Tokyo in the 1990s whilst researching her book, Oriental Vegetables, describing them as 60cm (23in) long with white stalks. Behind Larkcom’s blanched udo stalks lies a very unusual production method. So-called Nanpaku-udo, or simply Tokyo-udo, is cultivated mainly under- ground beneath Western Tokyo (Tachikawa and Kokubunji City). The roots are forced during the winter months in naturally warm subterranean caverns excavated in the special Kanto loam, of volcanic origin, which can be excavated without danger of collapse. These caverns were originally used to store vegetables, but have been used for forcing udo off-season since about 1927. A pit is first dug 3-4m (9.8-13ft) deep and then several horizontal tunnels are excavated from the bottom of the pit.
