In 2004, I have commenced an exciting new 5 year research project on 'Sympatric speciation in sexually deceptive orchids'. This new project aptly illustrates the innovative integration of multiple fields that characterises my research approach, in this case spanning the fields of pollination and reproductive ecology, genetics, phylogeny and chemical ecology. This project opens up new and exciting possibilities for students with a diverse array of interests. New projects now available include the chemistry of floral odours and the molecular biology of floral odour production in orchids.

Extractions: Paris, Paindebled, 1885. 2 volumes. Royal folio (atlas volume: 48 x 31 cm) and folio (text volume: 39.5 x 27 cm). With 42 original watercolour drawings, highlighted with gum arabic, each signed by the author. They are numbered 1-40, with a duplicate no. 25 and an unnumbered drawing not normally included in the series. The photogravure text volume with calligraphic wrapper-title and dedication, and text reproduced from manuscript (mostly from the authors autograph). The atlas volume with the watercolours mounted on heavy paper in the original green cloth portfolio with the title and date gold-blocked on the cover. Splendid set of exquisite watercolour drawings of orchids from the neighbourhood of Paris, one of only twelve sets produced by the author. They are meticulously drawn in black ink and beautifully coloured by the author, signed by him, and mounted on heavy paper with the drawing number in manuscript and the Latin name on a slip at the foot. Each shows the entire plant with flowers, stem, leaves and root, with detail drawings around it, most of the detail drawings also coloured. The accidental inclusion of an extra drawing no. 25 shows the degree of variation when Camus made two drawings of the same plant. The unnumbered drawing is labelled Ophrys Scolopax in manuscript on the drawing itself. It is not usually included in the series, but matches the others and is also signed by Camus.

Extractions: March 8, 2004 Scientists working on a Swedish island have helped illuminate the bizarre sexual antics of orchids. Their new study, they say, reveals why some orchids have plenty to gain from false appearances. Unlike most flowers, roughly a third of the approximately 30,000 orchid species in the world don't rely on the lure of food to achieve pollination. Instead, the orchids trick insects into performing the task without reward. Most of these orchids are "food deceptive." Using bright colors and sweet perfumes, they falsely advertise a free meal of pollen and nectar to attract bees, beetles, butterflies, and other pollinators. (Other of these orchids are even more elaborate in their cunning, mimicking the appearance and sex pheromones of female insects to lure males looking for a mate.) Scientists have long been mystified by these strategies, since studies have shown that plants that actually provide nectar and other food-rewards attract more pollinating insects. The same is true for orchids

Extractions: home History and Size The Garden Greenhouses ... Opening Hours The history of the Botanic Garden, one of the oldest and most traditional gardens north of the Alps, goes back more than 400 years. The existence of a castle and a simple garden here is first recorded in a pen and ink drawing dated 1578. In the 17th Century, one of the most splendid gardens of the time was laid out, including orangeries (the forerunners of greenhouses). In the 18th Century, the rococo-style Clemensruh Palace (Poppelsdorfer Schloss) was built (c. 1740-47). The garden as we know it dates from the foundation of the University in 1818, and its boundaries coincide closely with those of the Elector's park. Two beech trees from the old baroque garden still stand. The garden's founder and first director (1818-30) was Nees von Esenbeck. The total area is 6 ha (15 acres) of which greenhouses occupy 0.25 ha (about 0.6 acres). In addition we have a separate area in the Melb valley which is not open to the public. Out-of-doors, the collections consist of the park-like

A doctoral candidate in botany at the University of California at Riverside, Jarrell studies the molecular systematics of a "tribe" of orchids known as Vandeae. Some of the better-known tribe members are Phalaenopsis (or "moth" orchids) and Vanda, both tropical epiphytes that use trees for support. Jarrell also received the 1993 member of the year award from the San Bernardino County Orchid Society.

While the vertical accent can be as simple as a Gold Cone Juniper, there are many other ways to create upward movement in the garden. This class will include hardscape such as trellises and tuteurs, but also creative ways to raise the growing plane in the garden. Photography: Composition Location: Phipps Garden Center in Mellon Park Explore the compositional aspects of nature photography. Through slide presentations and photographic assignments, each session will address learning to apply these different aspects of composition to your work including: horizontal versus vertical format, the rule of thirds, selective focus, leading lines, framing, and graphics. Weekly feedback will be given for each photographic assignment. The goal of the course will be to help all students improve their photographic technique. Students need to bring a 35mm or digital camera to each session. Color print film will be used for those students shooting film during the course. All levels of photographic experience are welcome.

Rare Book Some seventy-five rare books relating to orchids reflect the surge of interest in orchid discovery and propagation in the latter half of the nineteenth century. 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 collection 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 . Measuring 22 by 16 inches the plates were designed by seven artists, including Henry George Moon and Walter Hood Fitch. They were reproduced by three lithographers who used as many as twenty stones for one plate.

Canada V8W 3S2 From: Nicolaus Copernicus to Pope Paul III - 1543 [The book De Revolutionibus which was introduced by this dedication laid the foundations of modern astronomy.] I can easily conceive, most Holy Father, that as soon as some people learn that in this books which I have written concerning the revolution of heavenly bodies, I ascribed certain motions to the Earth, they will cry out at once that I and my theory should be rejected. For I am not so much in love with my conclusions as not to weigh what others will think about them, and although I know that the meditations of a philosopher are far more removed from the the judgment of the laity, because his endeavor is to seek out the truth in all things, so far as this is permitted by God to the human reason, I still believe that one must avoid theories altogether foreign to orthodoxy. Accordingly, when I considered in my own mind how absurd performance it must seem to those who know that the judgment of many centuries has approved the view that the Earth remains fixed as a center in the midst of the heavens, if I should, on the contrary, assert that the Earth moves; I was for a long time at a loss to know whether I should publish the commentaries which have written in proof of its motion, of whether it were not better to follow the example if the Pythagoreans and of some others, who were accustomed to transmit the secrets of Philosophy not in writing but orally, and only to their relatives and friends, as the letter from Lysis to Hipparchus bears witness.
