Top 50 Plants for a White Garden Top 50 Plants for a White Garden White flowering plants to create a sweet-scented, serene garden loved by insects both by day and by night List Curated by Thomas McBride From research data collected and collated at the National Botanic Garden of Wales NB: Butterflies and Moths are not studied at the NBGW so any data on nectar plants beneficial for them is taken from Butterfly Conservation 51 Photo: Will Billlium (Flickr) Introduction A White Garden is a perfect way to create a more serene, peaceful section within a larger garden. It can work well enclosed with hedges if you have a medium-sized garden with several garden ‘rooms’ or as a much larger open space within a large garden. If you have a smaller garden, you may wish simply to use this list to pick white flowers to grow in your border. A white garden is usually a year- round investment so, unlike a hot border, it is great to select flowers that will cover all or most of the seasons, hence, a wide variety are included on this list including a few larger shrubs. White gardens usually work best in fairly dry, well draining soil but may be sunny or in partial shade. Plants As with most gardens, choosing a variety of plants of different heights is important. Place shrubs and tall perennials at the back of the border and smaller plants towards the front. White flowers often have a strong scent as it makes up for the lack of petal colour to attract pollinators. Keep scent in mind when choosing plants as it can add an additional level to your garden. Many of these plants will also attract moths and nocturnal insects.

Healy: Investigation of Compounds in <i>Anaphalis Margaritacea</i> 93 Investigation of Compounds in Anaphalis Margaritacea Lauren Healy ABSTRACT The roots and tops from Anaphalis margaritacea, commonly referred to as Pearly Everlasting, were extracted using a mixture of ether and petroleum ether and analyzed through the use of various spectroscopic techniques. Dr. Ferdinand Bohlmann previously reported a thirteen carbon chlorinated polyacetylene found in the roots of Anaphalis species that was of much interest due to its structural similarity to known antibacterial and antifungal compounds. The goal was to successfully isolate and characterize this compound, known as (E)-5-chloro-2-(octa-2,4,6-triynylidene)-5,6-dihydro-2H-pyran, as well as identify other compounds previously unidentified in A. margaritacea. Although this particular compound has not been identified yet, various other compounds have, including terpenes, unsaturated compounds, and ring systems.

  • Propagation Protocol for Production of Anaphalis Margaritacea (L.) Benth
    Protocol Information USDA NRCS Corvallis Plant Materials Center 3415 NE Granger Ave Corvallis, Oregon 97330 (541)757-4812 Corvallis Plant Materials Center Corvallis, Oregon Family Scientific Name: Asteraceae Family Common Name: Composites; Aster family Scientific Name: Anaphalis margaritacea (L.) Benth. Common Name: western pearly everlasting Species Code: ANMA Ecotype: Seed was collected at both Mt Rainier and Crater Lake National park, at elevations ranging from 2,500 to 7,000 feet. Seed was plentiful in most years at both Parks. General Distribution: Widely distributed across north America, including several subspecies. Occurs at low to subalpine elevations; often a pioneer species on open slopes and meadows, roadcuts and gravelly soils. Propagation Goal: Seeds Propagation Method: Seed Product Type: Propagules (seeds, cuttings, poles, etc.) Stock Type: Seed from seed increase Target Specifications: Clean viable seed, free of noxious weeds. Propagule Collection: Seeds are easily collected from mature native stands; entire flowering heads were picked into cloth sacks and air dried. Avoid collecting herbage along with flower heads as it will be more difficult to thresh later. Initial seed viability ranged from 47 to 64%, with no pretreatment needed. Propagule Processing: The tiny seeds (8,000,000 to 11,000,000 per pound) can be threshed from well-dried flower heads using a geared-down hammermill, or stationary thresher 1 for larger quantities. Any moisture in the material or equipment will make cleaning nearly impossible. Seed extraction using a Kertz-Pelz stationary thresher (which allows for virtually 100 % capture of threshed material) was improved by running the material through the thresher 2 times.

Smith (Asteraceae: Gnaphalieae) is reported as new record for Nepal Himalaya. Detailed description, illustration and relevant notes are provided. Key words: Compositae, Flora Himalaya, Phyllaries INTRODUCTION The genus Anaphalis was first described by Augustin-Pyramus de Candolle in the 6th volume of “Prodromus Systematis Naturalis Regni Vegetabilis” (1837) and was placed under the tribe Senecioneae Cass. of Compositae Giseke. Compositae (Asteraceae Martynov) is nested high in the Angiosperm phylogeny in Asterideae/ Asterales (Funk et al 2009). Anaphalis is the largest genus within the Asian Gnaphalieae and is well diversified in the Himalayas (Meng et al 2010). According to Flora Himalaya Database (leca.univ-savoie.fr), there are 45 species of Anaphalis in the Himalayas. “Catalogue of Nepalese Vascular Plants” (Malla et al 1976), the first catalogue of vascular plants of Nepal Himalaya has recorded 10 species of the genus Anaphalis DC. The first comprehensive list of vascular plants of Nepal, “An Enumeration of the Flowering Plants of Nepal” (Hara et al 1982) has given names of 16 species and seven varieties of the taxon. The most recent literature for Flora of Nepal, i.e. Annonated Checklist of Flowering Plants of Nepal (Press et al 2000) has also listed 16 species and seven varieties of Anaphalis DC.

    Neue Erkenntnisse zu Gnaphalium-, Pseudognaphalium-, Helichrysum- und Anaphalis- Arten DIPLOMARBEIT eingereicht von Sandra Verena Ruprecht zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades Magistra der Pharmazie an der Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz Betreuer: Ao.Univ.-Prof. Mag. Dr.rer.nat. Franz Bucar Graz, 2018 Danksagung Die vorliegende Diplomarbeit wurde im Zeitraum von März bis Juni 2018 im Bereich der Pharmakognosie am Institut für Pharmazeutische Wissenschaften der Karl- Franzens-Universität Graz, unter der Betreuung und Leitung von Herrn Ao.Univ.- Prof. Mag. Dr.rer.nat. Franz Bucar, verfasst. Vielen herzlichen Dank für die Betreuung und dass Sie sich immer Zeit nahmen, wenn es notwendig war. Der größte Dank gilt allerdings meiner Familie, insbesondere meiner Mama und meinen Großeltern, die mir eine so großartige Studienzeit ermöglichten. Obwohl ich in dieser Lebensphase bestimmt nicht immer einfach war, habt ihr immer an mich geglaubt und mir Mut gemacht. Daher ein riesengroßes Dankeschön. Danke auch an meine Studienkollegin Kerstin. Seit dem 1. Studientag ist sie eine unbeschreiblich gute Freundin, auf die immer Verlass ist. Und natürlich auch ein großes Dankeschön an meine „Freundinnen“ Romana und Lisa, die ich seit dem Arzneistoffsynthese-Labor ins Herz geschlossen habe und die mich seither begleiten und unterstützen. 2 Kurzzusammenfassung Ziel dieser Diplomarbeit war es, die neuesten Erkenntnisse zu Gnaphalium-, Pseudognaphalium-, Helichrysum- und Anaphalis-Arten zu eruieren. Da in der heutigen Zeit die Phytotherapie wieder mehr an Bedeutung gewinnt, wurden Anaphalis margaritacea, Anaphalis triplinervis, Gnaphalium sylvaticum, Helichrysum arenarium, Helichyrsum italicum, Helichrysum stoechas und Pseudognaphalium obtusifolium hinsichtlich ihrer Inhaltsstoffe, Wirkungen und Anwendungsgebiete untersucht. So könnte Anaphalis margaritacea aufgrund der antitussiven Wirkung bei Husten angewendet werden.
