Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Orchid World, 1916, Vol. 6: A Monthly Illustrated Journal Entirely Devoted to Orchidology HE nomenclature of Orchids is a subject in which I have for many years taken a great interest. So long as our records were limited to species and varieties of species no great difficulty arose. Wrong names may have been given in the hurry of the moment, but these were in a short time discovered and put right. Very soon, however, growers found out that it was possible by the fertilisation of one species with another to raise hybrids embracing both the good and bad qualities of their parents. Of these qualities, to use a Mendelian phrase, the latter was found to be dominant and the former recessive; but, nevertheless, by reason of the amateur purchasing fine varieties the former survived and the latter were dispensed with.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Orchid World, 1912, Vol. 2: A Monthly Illustrated Journal Entirely Devoted to Orchidology Odontoglossum smithii. - This most beautiful and very distinct hybrid, the subject of our coloured plate, is the result of crossing O. Rossii rubescens with O. Crispo-harry anum, and when exhibited by Messrs. Charlesworth at the Royal Horticultural Society, December sth, 1905, it was deservedly awarded a First - class Certificate. The plant soon after passed into the noted collection of J. Gurney Fowler, Esq., where it has much increased in size. Owing to the comparatively small quantity of seed pro duced by O. Rossii, and the great difficulty experienced in raising it, hybrids from this Mexican species will always remain scarce.

Download or read book Beware the Evil Eye Volume 2 written by John H. Elliott and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2016-01-22 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the present volume, Elliott addresses the most extensive sources of Evil Eye belief in antiquity--the cultures of Greece and Rome. In this period, features of the belief found in Mesopotamian and Egyptian sources are expanded to the point where an "Evil Eye belief complex" becomes apparent. This complex of features associated with the Evil Eye--human eye as key organ of information, eye as active not passive, eye as channel of emotion and dispositions, especially envy, arising in the heart, possessors, victims, defensive strategies, and amulets--is essential to an understanding of the literary references to the Evil Eye. This volume, along with chapter 2 of volume 1, sets and illuminates the context for examining Evil Eye belief and practice in the Bible and the biblical communities (the focus of volume 3).

Book excerpt: North East India is called nature’s gift to India. It is mountainous, thickly forested, nourished by massive rainfall, has massive rivers, has a diverse wildlife, inhabited a number of forest dwellers called tribes who cherished environmentalist ethos. The region has been experiencing environmental depletion which was a result of colonial policies, exploitation of its ecological and mineral resources, large scale trans-border immigration and settlement of people, establishment of the plantation industry through deforestation and the dependence of the dairy industry on grazing and other factors. This books depicts the precariousness of the environmental situation and traces the history and politics of such degeneration with a view to raise the consciousness of the people of the region towards their environment and save it from further aggravation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Orchid World, 1913, Vol. 3: A Monthly Illustrated Journal Entirely Devoted to Orchidology Considering the exceptionally dull sunless season we have passed through, the safest course will be to keep a little extra fire heat in the pipes at night time, thereby preventing the temperatures from falling too low by the morning. The young growths of many autumn growing Orchids are frequently injured through insufficient heat. Another advantage to be derived from this extra fire heat is that more pure air can be admitted. It is difficult to forecast fluctuations of temperature, but many difficulties may be overcome by careful observation of the outside elements. During this and next month the tempera tures of the various houses should be kept as near to the under-mentioned figures as circumstances will permit.

Book excerpt: "This volume offers the serious orchidist not only a guide to species identification, but also a many-faceted source of information on the Dendrobiinae, including a guide to taxonomy, a historical review, a summary of relevant literature and a stimulus for new investigation. Dr Wood's comprehensive account is the result of 25 years' research. This is a combined approach, bring together morphology, physiology, taxonomy, biogeography, plate tectonics, ecology, and evolution. Following recent molecular studies, he divides the genera intwo two major clades, one tracing to India and the other to Australia, and follows their distribution from Asia and Australia to Guam and Tahiti. He discusses the species inhabitating each geographical area and lists them by sections. This work updates the taxonomic system of sections originated by Rudolph Schlecteer and supported by recent DNA results."--NHBS Environment Bookstore.
