Appendix F LIST OF PLANT MATERIALS RECOMMENDED FOR EL PUEBLO VIEJO The following is a list of plant materials recommended for use within El Pueblo Viejo Landmark District. The list is intended to provide landscape architects with a suggested palette of plants which is compatible with the required Hispanic design tradition established by the Historic Structures Ordinance. In the context of general landscape design guidelines, it is suggested that all of the plant materials proposed for use within the landmark district meet at least one of the following criteria: 1. Consistency with general comments of the Historic Structures Ordinance. (See Appendix in these Guidelines.) 2. Compatibility with the “California Adobe” and “Monterey Revival” architectural styles and the “Spanish Colonial Revival” style of the period from 1915 to 1930. 3. Compatibility with a design style which is considered “Mediterranean” in character. 4. Utilization of plant species which already exist within the historic district. This list is intended only as a guideline and it is recognized that other plant materials not indicated here may also be suitable for use within El Pueblo Viejo. Note: 9 = Water Wise Plants. Water Wise Plants: Those plants that are evaluated as needing "low" (10-30% ETo) or "very low" (<10% ETo) amounts of irrigation water as defined and listed by Water Use Classifications of Landscape Species (WUCOLS) at http://www.owue.water.ca.gov/docs/wucols00.pdf or other sources of water-wise plant water use classifications as verified by a licensed landscape architect.

The seeds were preheated by dry and wet methods at three temperatures (50, 70 and 90 degrees C) for 10, 20, 30 and 60 minutes. The oil was extracted using the Soxhlet method with hexane. The results showed a significant change in oil acid value when heated at 90 degrees C for 60 minutes, with values of 2.76+or-0.18 for the dry method and 2.90+or-0.14 for the wet method. Heating at the same conditions yielded peroxide values of 10.70+or-0.03 for the dry method and 11.95+or-0.08 for the wet method. Author A. L. Khandare, U. Kumar P, R. G. Shanker, K. Venkaiah and N.

    LEARNING ECOLOGY: ETHNOBOTANY IN THE SIERRA TARAHUMARA, MEXICO by FELICE SEA WYNDHAM (Under the Direction of Brent Berlin) ABSTRACT This dissertation investigates social-environmental factors contributing to differential ethnobotanical expertise among children in Rarámuri (Tarahumara) communities in Rejogochi, Chihuahua, Mexico. This research contributes to understanding processes of transmission and acquisition of environmental knowledge and to the development of an ecological, interactionist model of indigenous education. The first section describes an ethnography of Rarámuri childhood, focusing on children’s life stages, work, play, and family environments. Some aspects of Rarámuri epistemologies of learning are explored. Among these is the importance of relationship maintenance through ritual and thinking/behaving well. Structured interviews with Rarámuri children between the ages of 5 and 18 showed consensus as to the primary importance of mothers, fathers, aunts and uncles as teachers of plant knowledge. Secondarily, siblings, cousins and playmates were identified as teachers. The second section presents a quantitative study of children’s knowledge of a set of 40 culturally significant local plants in three use-categories: medicinal, edible, and other material utility. The social-environmental factors significant in predicting levels of plant knowledge among children were, most notably, which primary school (of two local choices) children attended and, to a lesser extent, age of the child completing the interview. Plant-name and plant-use interviews suggest that many children today are not acquiring their parents’ full repertoire of plant knowledge, but rather, exhibit knowledge of a restricted set of plants that are most salient culturally and ecologically. The discussion of results highlights the importance of understanding how knowledge distribution patterns correspond to social relationships, social roles, and individual and family interest and experience.

    Trees not on Significant Tree Register Acmena smithii, Lilly-pilly - 42 French St, front garden The Lilypilly has been widely planted from the nineteenth century through to the present day often as a wind break and hedge. The specimen in the front garden of 42 French Street is impressive in size and most likely remains from an earlier larger garden. There are many specimens of Lilypilly planted around Hamilton. Dimensions: precise dimensions not available Significance: Important as part of original garden planting. Acmena smithii, Lilly-pilly - 9 Gray St, front garden Older planting which was originally part of the garden at 13 Gray Street. Dimensions: precise dimensions not available Significance: Important as part of original garden planting. Aesculus hippocastanum, Horse Chestnut - Melville Oval, Thompson St side near water fountain. The Horse Chestnut is not very widely planted throughout Victoria although a very popular tree throughout Europe. It is best in the cooler climates of the Dandenong and Mt Macedon ranges. Dimensions: precise dimensions not available Significance: This is the only specimen found in Hamilton and therefore of local interest. Araucaria heterophylla, Norfolk Island Pine - 13 Gray St, front garden Araucarias have been popular in Victoria from the mid- nineteenth century to the present time producing a distinct form in the landscape. The large specimen here remains from the original garden and was probably planted about 1904 and is one of two large specimens in the Church Hill area. The other, identical in size, was planted at 31 Gray St, apparently the home of a member of the same family. Both trees are excellent examples of the species and have become landmarks in the Church Hill area.

(2015). Homogenous genetic structure in populations of Taxus baccata with varied proportions of male and female individuals. Silva Fennica vol. 49 no. 4 article id 1236. 14 p. Highlights • Polish populations of Taxus baccata showed a high level of genetic diversity within popula- tions and moderate genetic differentiation between them after nSSR marker testing. • No significant differences in the genetic variation between T. baccata male and female indi- viduals were observed, and microsatellite loci neutrality was verified. • Determining the sex ratio in T. baccata populations is not essential to develop a clear under- standing of genetic differentiation and diversity within and between populations of this species. Abstract English yew (Taxus baccata L.) is a strictly outcrossing and dioecious species whose popula- tions are small and isolated. It is known that sex ratios may vary in natural populations due to local environmental conditions or stochastic events. However, unbalanced sex ratios may have negative impacts on genetic diversity through enhanced genetic drift and inbreeding. The present study represents one of the first attempts to compare the genetic variation at microsatellite loci within and between populations with different gender proportions.

We estimated tree density, diameter, height and volume of the dominant tree species in four blocks (Thore, Chilas, Thak Niat and Gunar) of Chilas forest sub division. The tree density of deodar was maximum with average 26 tree∙ha−1 and minimum was of Chalgoza 4 trees∙ha−1. The maximum average height showed by the dominant species (Fir, Kail, Deodar, and Chilgoza) of the study area to be 20.40, 16.06, 12.24 and 12.12 m respectively. Moreover the average maximum volume attained by the Kail, Fir, Deodar and Chalgoza trees was 1.92, 1.57, 0.46 and 0.291 m3∙tree−1 respectively. Regression analysis was carried out to determine the relationship between diameter (cm), height (m), tree density (trees∙ha−1) and volume (m3∙ha−1).
