Updates in the flora of the Maltese Islands (Central Mediterranean)
No full textDuring 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 textFlora 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.

The lichen flora of Hull, with particular reference to zonal distribution and environmental monitoring
No full textYesThe role of lichens as environmental monitors is widely recognised. Not only are they valuable as indicators of habitat stability and enyironmental continuity, but they are also effectiye in monitoring environmental quality. more particularly air and soil (and more recently water) pollution. In the past. the main role of lichens in this context has been to
monitor sulphur dioxide air pollution. especially stable and rising levels (Seaward 1993).
Howeyer, it has also been shown that lichens arc effective monitors of falling levels of
gaseous sulphur dioxide and indeed of other pollutants. some of which are manifesting
themselves as a consequence of the reduction in the former; of particular interest in this
respect is the use of lichens to detect and determine the extent of qualitative changes in air pollution such as the impact of acid rain and hypertrophication (Seaward 1997: Seaward & Coppins 2(04)
A comparison of the moss floras of Chile and New Zealand
No full textChile and New Zealand share a common stock of 181 species of mosses in 94 genera and 34 families. This number counts for 23.3% of the Chilean and 34.6% of the New Zealand moss flora. If only species with austral distribution are taken into account, the number is reduced to 113 species in common, which is 14.5% of the Chilean and 21.6% of the New Zealand moss flora. This correlation is interpreted in terms of long distance dispersal resp. the common phytogeographical background of both countries as parts of the palaoaustral floristic region and compared with disjunct moss floras of other continents as well as the presently available molecular data

Defining indigenous plants: some problematic species from Norfolk Island
No full textDefining indigenous species may at first appear straight forward; most botanical texts provide similar definitions. The consistent requirement of such definitions is the lack of human intervention in the occurrence of the species within the area under consideration. Islands around the world have been invaded by plant species brought to their shores by humans. They are also places where self-introduced species can be continually arriving, as they have done for millennia. Scrutiny of the situation on Norfolk Island (1200 km east of Australia) finds that the distinction between indigenous and introduced taxa is sometimes unclear. There is also inconsistency regarding the acceptance of self-introduced species as indigenous. This paper explores these issues and notes that they are more important than idle botanical curiosity, because control of introduced (weed) species is a major area of activity in managing protected natural areas
