    During the last 5 years, this author has been involved in the research and exploration of the flora of the Maltese islands in order to create and update the website http://www.maltawildplants.com. This paper consists of several important discoveries of new populations of very rare or endangered floral species for the Maltese Islands which were recorded during field surveys to collect material for this website. It also includes the species Calendula bicolor Rafin., which is a new record for the Maltese islands.peer-reviewe

    Flora Tristan Life Stories

    No full text
    Flora Tristan is best known as a nineteenth century French social critic and reformer. Her writings can be seen as a precursor to Marxism and Feminism. Flora Tristan: Life Sories by Susan Grogan, investigates the life of Flora Tristan through an exploration of the way she represented herself in her own writings. The author also examines the portrayal of Flora Tristan in paintings and literature. Rather than adopting a chronological approach, the author surveys the personae of Flora Tristan through thematic chapters on her roles as author, socialist, traveller and "Mother of the Workers". She places Flora Tristan in the context of contemporary debates and ideas, adding to our understanding of the times in which Flora Tristan lived. Flora Tristan: Life Stories argues that Flora Tristan's self-representations were attempts to claim a role of authority and significance not open to women in the nineteenth century. This authoritative study also engages with attempts to re-evaluate the writing of biography and to explore the meaning of an individual life in historical context.Book Cover -- Title -- Copyright -- ContentsFlora Tristan is best known as a nineteenth century French social critic and reformer.

    Se aportan datos sobre la distribución y ecología de Lythrum portula (L.) D.A. Webb y Fumana baetica Güemes en la provincia de Cuenca, dos plantas que constituyen novedad para la flora de dicho territorio. En el caso de F. baetica se amplia considerablemente su área de distribución y se presenta su primera localidad fuera de los territorios béticos.Some data on ecology and chorology of Lythrum portula (L.) D.A. Webb and Fumana baetica Güemes, two taxa new for the flora of Cuenca, are reported. The latter is reported for the first time in a locality quite far from the Betic mountain range, which much enlarges its distribution area

    Influence of the Leeuwin Current on the marine flora of the Houtman Abrolhos

    No full text
    The influence of the Leeuwin Current on the marine flora of the Houtman Abrolhos is examined. The marine plants (seaweeds and seagrasses) are assessed by comparisons of the Houtman Abrolhos species diversity and composition relative to a nearby coastal region (Jurien Bay), using the tropical and temperate floras of Western Australia as benchmarks. Our results demonstrate that, in terms of assemblage structure and taxonomic distinctness, the marine flora of the Houtman Abrolhos clearly represent a transitional zone between tropical and temperate regions, with the strong tropical influence a direct result of the Leeuwin Current. In contrast, the nearby inshore flora of the Jurien Bay region exhibits a much lower, almost negligible tropical Influence
