    Extractions: Back to the Newsletter Contents and Home page by Gill Smith This has been a strange year for plants, with a mild start to the year which meant that the dog’s mercury was out by the first week of February and primroses by the 10th March. I was intrigued by the dog’s mercury in Gilling Woods, when I noticed that large patches seemed to be all male or (less commonly) all female. I wondered whether each patch was in fact a clone, having spread vegetatively from a single plant? There was no hot summer and from April onwards it seemed to me that the year was about a month behind. March was unusually dry, but the rest of the year more than made up for it, with floods causing major problems in October-November. As a result of the generally wet aummer the roadside verges grew tall and lush, almost rank, and this may have shaded out some of the smaller, more delicate plants. This is a particular concern where the adjacent fields have been heavily fertilised and the nitrates spill over into the verges. This year’s personal highlight was probably a trip to Sandale where Nan Sykes and I found (amongst other things) moonwort, mountain everlasting, marsh arrowgrass, marsh helleborine and bog pimpernel, the first three of which I had not seen before. We visited other sites in the area, some on grassland, some in bogs, some on the moorland. It is good to know that a number of unusual plants still thrive in Ryedale, although increasingly only in protected corners. However, one of the better sites was a set-aside field on Cauklass Bank, where a good number of the old cornland weeds including field madder, scarlet pimpernel, tiny field pansies, venus’ looking glass, cornsalad and dwarf spurge were flowering; clearly the seeds of these plants can survive a long time in the soil and germinate under the right conditions.

The books cover aspects of orchidology ranging from the popular appeal of growing orchids to commercial propagation and scientific classification. The earliest title in the collectino was published in 1824, but the majority appeared in the 1880s, 1890s, and early twentieth century. They were published in cities ranging from Boston, New York, and Buenos Aires to London, Paris, Berlin, and Copenhagen, among many others. The gem of the collection is a nearly complete set of the 192 color plates from the Imperial Edition of Sander's Reichenbachia.

    Extractions: ORCHID (Descriptions of individual species of Orchids can also be found at the end of this document.) DESCRIPTION: POTTING: PROPAGATION: Using a sterilized razor blade, knife, or pruning shears, most Orchids can be reproduced by division. The utensil can be sterilized by holding it over a flame. Sympodial Orchids (those that grow horizontally) can be divided by cutting the rhizome so that each division has three or more growths and one actively growing lead. Backbulbs may also have dormant buds and should be potted up separately. Monopodial Orchids (those that grow vertically) cannot be divided in this way. Many of these kinds, such as Phalaenopsis species and hybrids, produce offshoots called, keikis, at nodes along the inflorescence axis. When the roots of the keikis are a few centimeters long, the little plants can be potted up in the same way as the parent plant. Older plants that become top-heavy can be severed, the top half with its aerial roots moved to another pot or basket. The development of endosperm in Orchids usually stops at an early stage if it forms at all. Endosperm is a tissue that nourishes the embryo. At maturity, the seed consists of an embryo, a seed coat, and little else. Since there is a lack of endosperm, in nature the embryo is nourished by a certain fungal strain. The embryo obtains carbohydrates and mineral nutrients from a mycorrhizal fungus; therefore, this fungi is necessary for germination. Orchids can be germinated in glass flasks on agar with the same sugars ordinarily produced by the fungi along with some mineral nutrients.

    Extractions: The Orchid Library of Oakes Ames The Orchidaceae, one of the largest and most complex of plant families, was but poorly understood when Oakes Ames as a young man began his systematic studies. Today, and in no small measure because of his work and that of his associates, the species of Orchidaceae have probably been more thoroughly studied and more completely classified than those of any of the larger plant families. Harvard dinner for Oakes Ames, 1948 Oakes Ames at his microscope. Oakes Ames (1874-1950) was hired as an Instructor of Botany immediately after receiving his Master's degree from Harvard in 1900. Thus began a career of teaching at Harvard which lasted 50 years. During this time Ames also held other influential positions. He was Director of the Botanical Garden from 1909-1922 and Curator of the Botanical Museum from 1923-1927. In 1927 he became Supervisor of the Botanical Museum and in 1937- 1945 he held the post of Director. Ames's study of orchids began while he was still a very young man.

    Extractions: Papers Biography Oakes Ames was born into a wealthy and influential family in North Easton, Mass., on September 26, 1874. From childhood he was interested in botany, and set himself "the goal of learning the name of one new plant each day" (Mangelsdorf ix). Ames entered Harvard College in 1894, receiving his A.B. in 1898 and his A.M. in 1899. Ames began his career at Harvard as Instructor of Botany, a post which he held for 10 years. Ames would hold a variety of teaching and administrative positions at Harvard until his death in 1950. Ames also had an interest in economic botany. This became his other major field of study after he taught a course "Outlines of Economic Botany" in 1909-1910, and a few years later gave several lectures on medical botany at the Harvard School of Tropical Medicine (Shultes 73-74). His devotion to economic botany led Ames to collect what might be the most complete library and herbarium on the subject, both of which are now part of the Harvard University Herbaria. Oaks Ames's accomplishments were not limited to scholarship and collecting, however. As Director of the Botanical Museum, he "initiated a program of research and publication" as well as seeking (and finding) the financial support neccesary for the creation of an endowment fund (Mangelsdorf xiii).
