"Why Use Natives" by Darrel Morrison
        Enhance the regional identity and ecological fitness in the designed
        landscape and reap the economic benefits and aesthetic impact your
        landscape can have from using native plants.
 
"Building the Framework of a Native Garden" by Dr. Alex Niemiera
        Utilizing medium and large native American woody plants to create the
        design of a garden is essential in creating height and maintaining
        interest. Expand your garden's palette to include unique natives that
        offer seasonal and cultural value to the landscape.
 
"Sunny Natives for the Landscape" by Kim Hawks
        How much sun does a herbaceous perennial need? Discover some of the 
        unique American plants for foundation planting, mixed borders, and
        meadow settings and also how they attract wildlife, butterflies, and
        birds.
 
"Gardening in the Woods" by Jan Midgley
        Even though most plants rely on sun in order to live, many plants are
        just as content with shady conditions. Discover a myriad of plants
        that are reliable in a shady woodland setting. Propagation of natives
        for the home landscape will also be addressed.

Has anyone heard of the Indian plant called "titha" (_Coptis teeta_)?  I am 
not sure whether it is an ayurvedic plant or not, but it apparently grows 
in the state of Arunchal Pradesh.  According to a government publication, 
exports of the root and seeds are "virtually banned," so it is likely to  
be a threatened species (although it is not on the CITES list). 
 
According to a recent Indian magazine article, the tribals of A.P. regard 
it as an "excellent" medicinal herb; but the article gives no clue as to 
what it is used for.  
 
There is a North American species _Coptis trifolia_ ("goldthread") which 
is has well known medicinal properties.

Hi,
	I am doing research on the population genetics of black cottonwood
(Populus trichocarpa) in some river valleys in the Cascade Mountains.  I
have searched for references on population genetics of plants (trees are
preferable) in a linear spatial system (a river or stream), but have had
virtually no luck in finding any.  It seems to me that the genetics of
such a system may be different than a typical 2-d system.  I would
appreciate any leads on references or studies you may know of concerning
population genetics of plants in a riparian setting.
Thanks

As i see it, the only advantage with a  dichotomous keys on a hand-held computer
is that you do not have to look for the next entry. But at the same time the
overview over the structure of the key is lost.

With a punched card key it is different, here some of the advantage is that
it vil be posible to use the key in the field which otherwise is difficult 
with lose cards.

There is a punched card key: Detremination of Angiosperm Families by Means of
a Punched-Card Syatem.   By Bertel Hansen and Knud Rahn  Published in 
Dansk Botanisk Arkiv 1969 Bd. 26.

This key has 172 cards for determining 411 families of Hutchinson 1959.

I saw this key while i was following a course in Angiosperm taxonomy.

On my  HP-48sx, which to my knowlege is the only hand-held computer with 
has suficient memmory to make such a program (ca. 50k), i coded in this key.
The program is slow, but it kan be used. It could be much faster if it was 
programed in Saturn asembly.

I am looking for sources of information related to the growth of native
California oaks:  field studies, analyses of habitats, planting techniques,
etc.  For the past two years I have been making field observations of oaks
in Los Angeles, Orange, and Riverside counties in southern California.  My
desire (an avocation) is to plant oaks in some undeveloped areas whose oak
populations are dwindling.

Although I am a novice in this area, I do have access to several university
libraries, the INTERNET, and the libraries accessible through INTERNET.  I
would appreciate references that are available through these (and similar)
means.

Thank you in advance for any assistance you might give.  I feel quite strongly
about this endeavor, and I am anxious to learn all I can about the growth
of native California oaks.

Hi,

I am interested in the uses of transgenic technology
to produce new/useful/wierd/interesting plants.  I know about some projects
such as the tobacco plants that express luciferase and Bacillus thuringiensis
toxins used as intrinsic insecticides.  However I am on the look out for other,
perhaps less well known, examples.  Anything strange/quirky would be greatly
appreciated.

Any references or pointers or just "well I thought I saw something about..."
is what I am after.  Post to bionet.plants or e-mail me and I will post a 
summary when appropriate.

Thanks in advance for your help.
