  • Using Beautiful Flowering Bulbous (Geophytes) Plants in the Cemetery Gardens in the City of Tokat
    J. Int. Environmental Application & Science, Vol. 11(2): 216-222 (2016) Using Beautiful Flowering Bulbous (Geophytes) Plants in the Cemetery Gardens in the City of Tokat Kübra Yazici∗, Hasan Köse2, Bahriye Gülgün3 1Gaziosmanpaşa University Faculty of Agriculture, Department of Horticulture, 60100, Taşlıçiftlik, Tokat, Turkey; 2 Celal Bayar University Alaşehir Vocational School Alaşehir; Manisa; 3Ege University Faculty of Agriculture, Department of Horticulture, 35100 Bornova, Izmir, TURKEY, Received March 25, 2016; Accepted June 12, 2016 Abstract: The importance of public green areas in urban environment, which is a sign of living standards and civilization, increase steadily. Because of the green areas they exhibit and their spiritual atmosphere, graveyards have importance. With increasing urbanization come the important duties of municipalities to arrange and maintain cemeteries. In recent years, organizations independent from municipalities have become interested in cemetery paysage. This situation has made cemetery paysage an important sector. The bulbous plants have a distinctive role in terms of cemetery paysage because of their nice odours, decorative flowers and the ease of maintenance. The field under study is the city of Tokat which is an old city in Turkey. This study has been carried out in various cemeteries in Tokat, namely, the Cemetery of Şeyhi-Şirvani, the Cemetery of Erenler, the Cemetery of Geyras, the Cemetery of Ali, and the Armenian Cemetery. Field observation have been carried out in terms of the leafing and flowering times of bulbous plants. At the end of the study, in designated regions in the before-mentioned cemeteries bulbous plants that naturally grow in these regions have been evaluated. In the urban cemeteries, these flowers are used the most: tulip, irises, hyacinth, daffodil and day lily (in decreasing order of use).

  • Nova Scotia Provincial Status Report on Hoary Willow Salix Candida
    i Nova Scotia Provincial Status Report on Hoary Willow Salix candida Flűeggé ex Willd. prepared for The Nova Scotia Species at Risk Working Group by Ruth E. Newell E.C. Smith Herbarium K.C. Irving Environmental Science Centre Acadia University Wolfville, Nova Scotia B4P 2R6 Funding provided by the Nova Scotia Species at Risk Conservation Fund Submitted December 16th, 2010 ii EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Wildlife Species Description and Significance Salix candida (Hoary Willow) is a low, deciduous, dioecious shrub, densely white woolly on current season’s twigs and lower leaf surfaces. The mature medial leaves are narrowly elliptic or oblanceolate, usually at least 4x as long as wide. Leaf margins are entire and slightly to strongly rolled under. Flowering occurs concurrently with leaf emergence. Female flowers have stalks 0.1 to 1.2 mm long and tomentose pistils. The anthers of male flowers are purple later changing to yellow. The fruit is a tomentose, pear-shaped capsule. Reproduction is both sexual and asexual by layering. Salix candida is an extremely rare species in Nova Scotia occurring in a rare habitat type i.e., rich, calcareous fens or marshes. Distribution In Nova Scotia, Hoary Willow occurs within the Black River system at the northwest end of Lake Ainslie, Inverness County, Cape Breton Island. Here it is known from four rich calcareous fens in close proximity to the river floodplain plus a single plant in a calcareous graminoid marsh. Field work failed to confirm the presence of Salix candida in Huntington, Cape Breton County - a record based on a herbarium specimen from Cape Breton University herbarium.

  • Colonial Garden Plants
    COLONIAL GARD~J~ PLANTS I Flowers Before 1700 The following plants are listed according to the names most commonly used during the colonial period. The botanical name follows for accurate identification. The common name was listed first because many of the people using these lists will have access to or be familiar with that name rather than the botanical name. The botanical names are according to Bailey’s Hortus Second and The Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture (3, 4). They are not the botanical names used during the colonial period for many of them have changed drastically. We have been very cautious concerning the interpretation of names to see that accuracy is maintained. By using several references spanning almost two hundred years (1, 3, 32, 35) we were able to interpret accurately the names of certain plants. For example, in the earliest works (32, 35), Lark’s Heel is used for Larkspur, also Delphinium. Then in later works the name Larkspur appears with the former in parenthesis. Similarly, the name "Emanies" appears frequently in the earliest books. Finally, one of them (35) lists the name Anemones as a synonym. Some of the names are amusing: "Issop" for Hyssop, "Pum- pions" for Pumpkins, "Mushmillions" for Muskmellons, "Isquou- terquashes" for Squashes, "Cowslips" for Primroses, "Daffadown dillies" for Daffodils. Other names are confusing. Bachelors Button was the name used for Gomphrena globosa, not for Centaurea cyanis as we use it today. Similarly, in the earliest literature, "Marygold" was used for Calendula. Later we begin to see "Pot Marygold" and "Calen- dula" for Calendula, and "Marygold" is reserved for Marigolds.

    J. Jpn. Bot. 90: 92–97 (2015) Systematic Studies of Parasenecio (Asteraceae-Senecioneae) I. Parasenecio katoanus, a New Species from Yamagata Prefecture, Northern Honshu, Japan Yuichi KADOTA Department of Botany, National Museum of Nature and Science, 4–1–1, Amakubo, Tsukuba, 305-0005 JAPAN E-mail: [email protected] (Accepted on November 1, 2014) A new species of Parasenecio (Asteraceae-Senecioneae), P. katoanus Kadota, is described from the Shônai region, Yamagata Pref., northern Honshu, Japan. Parasenecio katoanus is distinguished from P. nikomontanus (Matsum.) H. Koyama by having 1) triangular-pentagonal, somewhat fleshy, dimly lustrous, usually glabrous leaf blades, 2) longer involucres with acute involucral phyllaries, 3) longer achenes, and 4) ascending peduncles at an acute angle. It was found that the flowers were fragrant in the midst of flowering time. Parasenecio katoanus is hitherto known only from the Shônai area of Yamagata Pref. Key words: Asteraceae, Japan, new species, Parasenecio katoanus, the Shônai region, Yamagata Prefecture. This is the first part of a series of systematic blades and is commonly distributed on the studies of the genus Parasenecio (Asteraceae- Japan Sea side of Honshu Island ranging from Senecioneae). The genus consists of more Akita Pref. to Shimane Pref. (Koyama 1995, than 60 species (Chen 1999). It shows an East Kadota unpubl.). The Japanese vernacular name Asian and Eastern North American disjunct ‘Ô-kani-kômori’ is derived from the shape of distribution pattern and its considerable number leaf blades, of which ‘Kani’ means the shape of of species are recognized in the Sino-Japanese crab carapace. floristic region (Koyama 1983, Chen 1999, Parasenecio nikomontanus also occurs Kadota 2009).

    Interspecific Breeding for Warm-Winter Tolerance in Tulipa gesneriana L. Tyler Schmidt, Plant Science Major, Department oF Horticultural Science 19 December 2015 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Focus on breeding of Tulipa gesneriana has largely concentrated on appearance. Through interspecific breeding with more warm-tolerant species, tolerance of warm winters could be introduced into the species, decreasing dormancy requirements and expanding the range of tulips southward. Additionally, long-lasting foliage can be favored in breeding to allow plants to store more energy for daughter bulbs. Continued virus and fungal resistance breeding will decrease infection. Primary benefits are for gardeners and landscapers who, under the current planting schedule, are planting tulip bulbs annually, wasting money. Producers benefit from this by reducing cooling times, saving energy, greenhouse space, and tulip bulbs lost to diseases in coolers. UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA AQUAPONICS: REPORT TITLE 1 I. INTRODUCTION A. Study species Tulips (Tulip gesneriana L.) are one of the most historically significant and well-known horticultural crops in the world. Since entering Europe via Constantinople in the mid-sixteenth century, the Dutch tulip market became one of the first “economic bubbles” of modern civilization, creating and destroying fortunes in four brief years (Lesnaw and Ghabrial, 2000). Since this time, tulips have remained extremely popular as more improved cultivars are released. However, a problem remains: even though viral resistance and long-lasting cultivars are introduced, few are capable of surviving in a climate with truly mild winters and only select cultivars are able to store enough energy for another year of flowering, even in climates with colder winters. Current planting schemes suggest planting annually, wasting tulip bulbs (Dickey, 1954).

  • Salix L.) in the European Alps
    diversity Review The Evolutionary History, Diversity, and Ecology of Willows (Salix L.) in the European Alps Natascha D. Wagner 1 , Li He 2 and Elvira Hörandl 1,* 1 Department of Systematics, Biodiversity and Evolution of Plants (with Herbarium), University of Goettingen, Untere Karspüle 2, 37073 Göttingen, Germany; [email protected] 2 College of Forestry, Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University, Fuzhou 350002, China; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: The genus Salix (willows), with 33 species, represents the most diverse genus of woody plants in the European Alps. Many species dominate subalpine and alpine types of vegetation. Despite a long history of research on willows, the evolutionary and ecological factors for this species richness are poorly known. Here we will review recent progress in research on phylogenetic relation- ships, evolution, ecology, and speciation in alpine willows. Phylogenomic reconstructions suggest multiple colonization of the Alps, probably from the late Miocene onward, and reject hypotheses of a single radiation. Relatives occur in the Arctic and in temperate Eurasia. Most species are widespread in the European mountain systems or in the European lowlands. Within the Alps, species differ eco- logically according to different elevational zones and habitat preferences. Homoploid hybridization is a frequent process in willows and happens mostly after climatic fluctuations and secondary contact. Breakdown of the ecological crossing barriers of species is followed by introgressive hybridization. Polyploidy is an important speciation mechanism, as 40% of species are polyploid, including the four endemic species of the Alps. Phylogenomic data suggest an allopolyploid origin for all taxa analyzed Citation: Wagner, N.D.; He, L.; so far.

  • Seed Chemical Composition of Endemic Plant Fraxinus Ornus Subsp
    Tonguç: Seed chemical composition of endemic plant Fraxinus ornus subsp. cilicica - 8261 - SEED CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF ENDEMIC PLANT FRAXINUS ORNUS SUBSP. CILICICA TONGUÇ, F. Isparta Applied Sciences University, Faculty of Forestry, Isparta, Turkey (e-mail: [email protected]; phone: +90-246-211-3989; fax: +90-246-211-3948) (Received 25th Feb 2019; accepted 15th May 2019) Abstract. The present study was conducted to determine the biochemical characteristics of Fraxinus ornus subsp. cilicica, seeds, an endemic tree species of Turkey. Seeds were collected from three provenances (Düziçi-Osmaniye, Andırın-Kahramanmaraş, Pozantı-Adana). Seed reserve composition (total soluble sugars, reducing sugars, carotenoids, xanthophylls, total soluble proteins, total tocopherol, total soluble phenolics, flavanoids and oil content) and seed fatty acids contents were examined. Total soluble sugars content and total tocopherol contents of seed among provenances did not differ significantly but other seed constituents were different among provenances. The highest amount of fatty acids present in F. ornus subsp. cilicica seeds were linoleic and oleic acids. The present study is the first report dealing with various aspects of seed composition and should provide valuable information for this endemic species. Keywords: fatty acids, manna ash, taurus flowering ash, oil content, provenance Introduction Fraxinus ornus (L.) (Oleaceae), also known as Manna ash (Fraxigen, 2005), can be used for numerous purposes for example, afforestation/reforestation of deforested areas, urban landscape design, forest restoration and manna production. Manna refers to white or faded yellow sugary substance that dried exudates collected from diverse natural sources and used in several locations around the world as a traditional sweet, emergency food or traditional medicine to treat trivial diseases (Harrison, 1950).

As a result, the Polish Eastern border also became an external border of the EU. European Neighbourhood Policy instruments were made available to develop cross-border cooperation with the Eastern neighbours based on common values and goals. Building a zone of sustainable development whilst maintaining cultural diversity and tolerance became a joint priority for the border regions of Poland, Belarus and Ukraine. The border regions gained a great opportunity to strengthen their cooperation through the realisation of com- mon projects within the ENPI CBC Programme Poland-Bela- rus-Ukraine 2007-2013. I am proud to present a series of publications reflecting how the regions from the eligible area of the Programme ap- proached cross-border cooperation and what specific pro- jects are being implemented on their territories to improve development processes.
