A particular threat posed by climate change for biodiversity conservation, one which has scarcely been studied, is the overlap of potential distribution areas in phylogenetically closely related species. In this study, Species Distribution Modelling (SDM) was used to investigate changes Delphinium bolosii and D. fissum subsp. sordidum under future climatic scenarios. These two endangered endemi...

Delphinium caucasicum C.A. Mey. is illustrated from plants cultivated at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. Its history, nomenclature and ecology are described instructions for its successful cultivation given.

brassica napus l. and sinapis alba l. are two cruciferous species for which some medicinal uses are mentioned in the iranian, indian and chinese traditional medicine. seed oil of  b. napus has cathartic action, and is either used as such or after partial hydrogenation for cooking, shortening or as margarines. sees of s. alba have also cathartic action and some other medicinal uses but, because ...

The taxonomic status of Thamnurgus rossicus was evaluated with respect to the morphologically similar T. petzi using genetic markers. Nucleotide data from the mitochondrial COI gene revealed 2.4% variation between the European Alps and Russian steppe populations. The two nuclear DNA markers CAD and EF1á were identical across populations. In view of their similar morphology, genetic composition,...

Since its first valid description by Linnaeus in 1753, the genus Delphinium L. has undergone numerous taxonomical changes that we synthesize here. The knowledge of taxonomic history is essential to clarify circumscription. For this purpose, outline pre-Linnaean history, from Dioscorides' translated works dating back 16th century Tournefort's classification 1694. Regarding post-Linnaean discuss ...
