Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Abstract: G-BOIS ("Flora Orientalis Herbarium"), the result of many years (1844-1888) of titanic work by an outstanding botanist from Geneva Pierre-Edmond Boissier, is the most important taxonomic and nomenclature source of data on the rich flora of the territory from Greece to Middle Asia and the borders of India. It was isolated from an extensive Boissier's private herbarium after the latter was included in the collection of Conservatoire et Jardin Botaniques and kept in a special underground bunker. A material for 366 species and 47 infraspecific taxa of the Umbelliferae is stored in G-BOIS. Among lectotypes, the vast majority relate to the Boissier taxa; a small minority belong to taxa of other authors (their types and lectotypes are in other herbaria). The materials of other herbaria, Geneva and non-Geneva (Geneva General Herbarium, De Candolle Prodromus Herbarium, K, LE, P, JE, W, B and others) were also checked. Among the Umbelliferae material kept in G-BOIS, lectotypes of 255 names were designated here and those of 107 names have been designated before, including lectotypes selected prior 2011 as types and holotypes which were corrected to lectotypes (89 names). Besides the designated lectotypes and isolectotypes, G-BOIS also contains holotypes of 44 Boissierian Umbelliferae names and syntypes of 81 names. Additionally, holotypes, lectotypes and isolectotypes (in total for 168 names) were revealed in Geneva General herbarium (G). One new species name (Prangos iranica nom. nov.) has been proposed here in the genus Prangos. Key words: Apiaceae, Pierre Edmond Boissier, Flora Orientalis, Geneva Herbarium, typification."--Page 3.

Download or read book Flowering Plants Eudicots written by Joachim W. Kadereit and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-04-09 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume covers the orders Boraginales, Garryales and Solanales (except Convolvulaceae) of the Lamiids (Asterids I) as well as three unplaced families of that clade, i.e. Vahliaceae, Icacinaceae and Metteniusaceae, and the orders Aquifoliales, Escalloniales, Bruniales, Dipsacales and Paracryphiales of the Campanulids (Asterids II). It is the first of two final volumes to (almost) complete the treatment of the Asterids, which started with Vol. VI (Cornales, Ericales, 2004) and continued with Vol. VII (Lamiales, 2004) and Vol. VIII (Asterales, 2007). The present volume provides descriptions for 35 families and altogether 340 genera, including three genera of somewhat uncertain family affiliation. It provides identification keys for families within orders and for all genera within families, and also discusses probable phylogenetic relationships. The wealth of information contained in this volume makes it an indispensable source for all those working in pure and applied plant sciences.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In view of the massive change in the area of distribution of many world biota across classical biogeographical realms, and of the drastic restructuring of the biotic components of numerous ecosystems, the Scientific Committee on Problems of the Environment (SCOPE) decided at its general Assembly in Ottawa, Canada, in 1982 to launch a project on the 'Ecology of Biological Invasions'. Several regional meetings were subsequently organized within the framework of SCOPE, in order to single out the peculiarities of the invasions that took place in each region, the behaviour of their invasive species and the invasibility of their ecosystems. Most noteworthy among such workshops were one in Australia in August 1984, one concerning North America and Hawaii in October 1984, and one dealing with southern Africa in November 1985. A leitmotiv of these workshops was that most of the invasive species to those regions were emanating from Europe and the Mediterranean Basin, inadvertently or intentionally introduced by man. It was therefore considered as a timely endeavour to organize the next regional meeting in relation to this region. The workshop on 'Biological Invasions in Europe and the Mediterranean Basin' was held in Montpellier, France, 21 to 23 May 1986, thanks to the financial support of SCOPE and of the A.W. Mellon Foundation, and the logistic facilities of the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (C.N .R.S.).
