Book Description
Excerpt from Edwards Botanical Register, or Ornamental Flower-Garden and Shrubbery, Vol. 30 A gay little plant, forming one more addition to the large genus Lupinus. The flowers are rich bright lilac, enlivened by a yellow spot on the white centre of the vexillum. In number the leaflets vary from 5 to 9. The seeds, by which Lupines may be distinguished more accurately than by the ordinary marks employed by Botanists, are oblong, smooth, and mottled with grey of different tints. Fig. 3, represents one of them; 2, is a ripe pod; and 1, is the ovary and style. It is a half hardy biennial, growing from one to two feet high, and flowering a great part of the summer and autumn. Like other Lupines it requires a strong rich soil, and although a half shrubby biennial, is best treated as an annual.

Book Description
Excerpt from Edwards Botanical Register, or Ornamental Flower-Garden and Shrubbery, Vol. 30 We lament to see how little justice our artists have been able to do to this beautiful plant, whose flowers are as delicate and transparent as if they were flakes of snow fixed by frost in the very act of melting. Each part of the lip is studded and bordered with little crystalline elevations, and the whole fabric of the blossom is as fragile as thin plates of glass. It was imported from Sierra Leone by Messrs. Loddiges, with whom it flowered in November 1842. It is number 1572 of their catalogue. Fig. 1. represents the column and spur of the labellum, the limb of which, spread flat to shew its true form is seen at 2. Fig. 3. represents the pollen-masses with their straps; and 4. is a single pollen-mass seen from behind where the strap fitted on. We still regret the want of leisure to effect that reformation in the genus, the necessity of which was alluded to at fol. 68 of our volume for 1840. A comparison of the details of this plate and of those of A. gladiifolium at the place just quoted, will shew that the genus Angrec, as it now stands, cannot be maintained entire.

Book Description
Bridging the fields of conservation, art history, and museum curating, this volume contains the principal papers from an international symposium titled "Historical Painting Techniques, Materials, and Studio Practice" at the University of Leiden in Amsterdam, Netherlands, from June 26 to 29, 1995. The symposium—designed for art historians, conservators, conservation scientists, and museum curators worldwide—was organized by the Department of Art History at the University of Leiden and the Art History Department of the Central Research Laboratory for Objects of Art and Science in Amsterdam. Twenty-five contributors representing museums and conservation institutions throughout the world provide recent research on historical painting techniques, including wall painting and polychrome sculpture. Topics cover the latest art historical research and scientific analyses of original techniques and materials, as well as historical sources, such as medieval treatises and descriptions of painting techniques in historical literature. Chapters include the painting methods of Rembrandt and Vermeer, Dutch 17th-century landscape painting, wall paintings in English churches, Chinese paintings on paper and canvas, and Tibetan thangkas. Color plates and black-and-white photographs illustrate works from the Middle Ages to the 20th century.

Book Description
Pollinators-insects, birds, bats, and other animals that carry pollen from the male to the female parts of flowers for plant reproduction-are an essential part of natural and agricultural ecosystems throughout North America. For example, most fruit, vegetable, and seed crops and some crops that provide fiber, drugs, and fuel depend on animals for pollination. This report provides evidence for the decline of some pollinator species in North America, including America's most important managed pollinator, the honey bee, as well as some butterflies, bats, and hummingbirds. For most managed and wild pollinator species, however, population trends have not been assessed because populations have not been monitored over time. In addition, for wild species with demonstrated declines, it is often difficult to determine the causes or consequences of their decline. This report outlines priorities for research and monitoring that are needed to improve information on the status of pollinators and establishes a framework for conservation and restoration of pollinator species and communities.
