The Art of Object-Oriented Ritual: an interview with Sarah Cave
No full textThe Merits of Tracer Fire is a beautiful paperback book produced by Abridged and designed by Luke Thompson of Guillemot Press. (The contents are also available online: see www.abridged.zone) It contains Polaroids by Dragana Jurisic, poetry by Sarah Cave, and an essay by Susanna Galbraith, which serves as an introduction and framing device for the book, considering the blurring of social and private space and the traces of our lives we leave behind. She writes well about the online world we inhabit, of how the translation of the real into the digital undermines the self, and the social context for all this. I thought I’d ask author Sarah Cave for her take on this project
Selaginella daozhenensis (Selaginellaceae), a new lycophyte from a limestone cave in northern Guizhou, China
No full textSelaginella daozhenensis, a new species of the lycophyte genus Selaginella (Selaginellaceae) from a limestone cave in northern Guizhou, China is described and illustrated. The new species is morphologically most similar to S. labordei and S. sichuanica but is distinct by its leaves being bluish green when fresh, its median leaves having aristae as long as leaf lamina, and its lateral leaves being larger (3.5-5.0 x 1.7-2.5 mm). Selaginella daozhenensis is currently known only from a single limestone cave and is considered to be Critically Endangered (CR), based on IUCN Red List criteria. It is also argued that S. sichuanica, earlier wrongly synonymized with S. labordei in treatments of the genus, should be recognized
Polystichum tiandengense (subg. Haplopolystichum; Dryopieridaceae), a New Cave Fern from Guangxi, China
No full textA new fern species, Polystichum tiandengense H. He & Li Bing Zhang (Dryopteridaceae), is described and illustrated from a limestone cave in the Guangxi Zhuangzu Autonomous Region, South China. Polystichum tiandengense is most similar to P. cavernicola. Li Bing Zhang & H. lie in having oblong to square pinnae with undulate margins, but the new species is distinguished by its pinnae mostly adjacent to each other or imbricating, and mostly sterile (vs. distant from each other and mostly fertile in P. cavernicola). Polystichum tiandengense is considered to be Critically Endangered (CR), based on RICN Red List criteria
Polystichum hastipinnum (subg. Haplopolystichum; Dryopteridaceae), a new cave fern from Guangdong, China
No full textA new species of Polystichum (subg. Haplopolystichum; Dryopteridaceae), P. hastipinnum, is described from a limestone cave in northern Guangdong, China. Polystichum hastipinnum is most similar to P. kwangtungense in having oblong pinnae, but the former has stipe and rachis scales denser, basalmost pair of pinnae hastate and with bases somewhat cordate, while the latter has stipe and rachis scales much sparser, basalmost pair of pinnae oblong and with bases cuneate
Sketch of the front exterior view of Mission San Diego Alcala, by Cave Couts, ca.1846
No full textPhotograph of a sketch of the front exterior view of Mission San Diego Alcala, by Cave Couts, ca.1846. Three large arched doorways allow entrance into the church. Above it is a multicurved parapet with an arched window. On the left corner of the church is a multi-tiered bell tower. To the right of the entrance is a long arcade. Two horsemen are galloping close to the shack (or outhouse?) in front of the mission. "Mission as sketched by Cave Couts, ca.1850. Probably copied from Powell sketch, from Fabricas" -- unknown author
