Garcinia pictoria Roxburgh 1832
No full textGarcinia pictoria Roxburgh (1832: 627). Hebradendron pictorium (Roxb.) Lindley (1838: 114). Lectoype (designated here): INDIA. Wynaad, Roxburgh 180 (BM-000611609). What remains unclear is whether Roxburgh did indeed apply the name Garcinia pictoria, at least for a while, to the G. celebica trees in Calcutta, or whether Buchanan-Hamilton erred in this matter.Published as part of Turner, I.

Based on his collections from Rajmahal hills he proposed a name <i>E. robusta</i> (<i>nom. nud.</i>) in Hortus Bengalensis. Later, the name is validly published in Flora Indica by Roxburgh (1824). Our search in BM is resulted in a sheet with catalogue number BM000997142 bearing three twigs, one on top just with leaves and two twigs on bottom with fruits annotated as ‘Type specimen’ and “ <i>Embelia robusta</i> Roxburgh 1813 ”. Hence, the specimen perfectly matches with the protologue, the specimen BM000997142 is designated here as lectotype.</p>Published as part of <i>Prasanth, Arun & Sardesai, Milind M., 2021, Nomenclatural notes on type materials of eight names in Embelia (Primulaceae) from Peninsular India, pp. 230-238 in Phytotaxa 491 (3)</i> on pages 232-237, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.491.3.3, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/5754432">http://zenodo.org/record/5754432</a>
The experience and design of stereotype
No full textOur everyday life is influenced by an overproduction of images
and by an iconogenic surplus that is connected to the
proliferation of media. These contribute to both the quality and
quantity of communication, but simultaneously amplify the
knowledge gap between an audience that is able to critically
process messages and another that is affected uncritically by
prejudices and stereotypes. The need for a critical ???media
education??? (Bellino 2010) is required to address this gap by
encouraging the development of students' critical thinking and
social awareness.
In this paper we will discuss the results of a didactic experiment
in which visual communication design students explored the
potential of metaphor to critique the role of media in perpetuating
cultural stereotypes. Where stereotype simplifies reality,
metaphor extends beyond the simplification of reality toward the
discovery of new communicative opportunities; here the link
between ethics and esthetics is reinforced.
To support the learning process of the participating students we
assumed that the model of experiential learning (Kolb 1984) and the appeal to experiential metaphors (Lakoff & Johnson 1980) are the best way to deal with reality, its comprehension, its representation, and its transformation. Students were required to explore the potential of metaphor through the development of viral / guerilla communication campaigns that highlighted the role of the media in perpetuating stereotype
Chloris montana Roxburgh 1832
No full textChloris montana Roxburgh (1832: 329). Lectotype (hic designatus):—[Illustration] Roxburgh Icon (inedit.) No. 882 [Figure 1 in the middle and its dissected spikelet on the lower left-hand-side], (https://archive.bsi.gov.in/botanical-details?link=549T3936S79423IX, CAL icon!) (Fig. 1). Notes on lectotypification:— Roxburgh (1832), for his new species Chloris montana, merely cited the locality as “This is a native of mountainous tracts only”; he neither cited nor indicated any collection or illustration. In order to typify the preceding species name, searches for the specimen(s) used by him were made in several herbaria, viz., A, B, BM, BR, C, E, G, K, FI, G, LIV, NY, OXF, P, PH, TCD, and UPS in which many of Roxburgh’s collections are housed (Stapfleu & Cowan 1983, Robinson 2008). However, no suitable specimen was located. Alternatively, since Roxburgh’s Flora Indica drawings housed at CAL and K can serve as the original materials for the typification of Roxburgh species names, we looked for an appropriate uncited drawing. In this regard, we located Roxburgh’s icon No. 882 (inedit.) at CAL. The drawing of floral parts with annotations by the author certainly agrees well with the description of C. montana and depicts the species characters adequately. The (Fig. 1) shows characteristic villous peduncle (albeit in the field some forms also exhibit completely glabrous peduncle), non-spherical and non-inflated glabrous sterile florets—are in combination constitute distinguishing features of this species. Since no known original specimen seems to exist, this illustration (No. 882) is perfectly agreeing with the protologue is selected as the lectotype of C. montana in conformity with an Art. 9.12, Schenzen Code (Turland et al. 2018).Published as part of Landge, Shahid Nawaz & Shinde, Rajendra D., 2022, Lectotypification of Chloris montana (Poaceae: Chloridoideae) and taxonomic notes on a few species from India, pp. 243-252 in Phytotaxa 550 (3) on page 244, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.550.3.4, http://zenodo.org/record/665099

Ultimately the author reveals the solution to the problem of our existing structural decline: regain our biblical imagination, allow room for experimentation, and allow the Spirit to lead outside our comfort zone. he relates these factors to leadership by explaining how leaders allow this process to take place when a problem arises
A nomenclatural survey of the genus Amaranthus (Amaranthaceae) 9: names published by Roxburgh
No full textA nomenclatural study of the names in Amaranthus published by W. Roxburgh was carried out. Seven names appear to have been published by the author, three being not valid from the nomenclatural point of view (Amaranthus atropurpureus, A. fasciatus, and A. lanceofolius, nomina nuda, Arts. 38.1 and 38.2 of ICN). The remaining four names are valid and they are typified by illustrations included in "The Roxburgh Collection" at the library of the Royal Botanic Garden of Kew [Nos. 447 (lectotype of A. fasciatus), 1676 (lectotype of A. lanceolatus), and 1677 (lectotype of A. frumentaceus)] or included in the Seikei Zusetsu Agricultural Catalog (neotype of A. atropurpureus)

From Acacia To Ziziphus: Plant Names Commemorating The Botanist William Roxburgh.
No full textMore than 400 validly published names of vascular plants and Charales honouring William Roxburgh (1751–1815) are listed with the currently accepted names for these taxa and their typification. Some 50 species names commemorating Roxburgh remain in current use. In total, 173 lectotypes and 2 neotypes are designated here to fix the application of the names. A new combination in Centaurium (Gentianaceae) is proposed
A follow up to new approaches to providing practice placements in the pre-registration nursing programmes: A comparison study of the year one pilot students and their year 2 experience. The Final Report
No full textIssues that may impact on student retention and attrition are multifactorial but a number of key areas have been highlighted, including the quality of support and learning experiences in practice settings. The first phase of this project (Roxburgh et al 2011), explored student, mentor and clinical manager perceptions of ‘Hub and Spoke placement models in Year One of a Pre-registration Nursing Programme. The funders Scottish Government Health Department, Recruitment and Retention Delivery Group agreed to commission further study of this cohort through Year 2 of the programme, when the hub and spoke allocation model was not used to support clinical placement allocation. Following the original pilot students through Year 2 of their programme, wherein they experienced a ‘traditional’ placement model, provided an opportunity to compare perceptions of both models and to build on and further explore the issues of belongingness, continuity, continuous support and quality of practice learning which had emerged from Phase 1 of the study
