"Cedrus
Common names
Cedar. A great many species in the Cupressaceae are also commonly referred to as cedars, so species of Cedrus are sometimes identified as 'true cedars'.
Taxonomic notes
Four closely allied species (Vidakovic 1991). Because they are so similar, some authors (such as Silba (1986)) have designated fewer species, but a splitter's approach is here taken because the four taxa are distinguishable on both morphological and geographic grounds.
Description
"Evergreen, tall, monoecious trees. Crown broad with erect or bent top. Branches not in whorls. Bark on young trees smooth and gray, eventually furrowed and scaly, dark gray. Shoots of two kinds: long terminal shoots bearing solitary and spirally arranged needles, and short shoots with tufts of needles. Buds small, ovate, enveloped with few scales. Leaves persisting for 3-6 years, on short shoots tough, acuminate, 3-sided with 2 marginal resin ducts. Flowers in inflorescences, terminal on the short shoots, appearing during late July and August, fully developed during late September and early October; male flowers in erect catkins, up to 5 cm long, pollen grains golden-yellow, wingless; female flowers in erect, 1-1.5 cm long cone-like inflorescences, reddish, ovate, composed of numerous scales and surrounded by needles at the base. Cones erect, ovate to cylindrical, 5-10 cm long, maturing in the second or third year when they break up; seed scales closely overlapping, broader than long, woody, each with 2 ovules at the base; bract scales invisible. Seed large, irregularly triangular, light brown, resinous, with a large wing. Cotyledons 8-10. Chromosomes n=12" (Vidakovic 1991).
Range
Mountains of the S and SE Mediterranean and the W Himal (Vidakovic 1991).
Big tree
The largest known specimens of both C. libani and C. atlantica are over 350 cm dbh, and there are unsupported reports of C. deodara nearly this large. These three species also vie for the tallest specimen: 45 m for C. deodara, 43 m for C. libani and 40 m for C. atlantica. Given the paucity of data, any of these species may qualify as the largest.
Oldest
There are few data for any of the species, and as is often the case, the oldest ages have the lowest reliability. It seems that C. deodara may attain 900 years. Ages of over 1,000 years have been reported for C. libani, but without supporting data.
Dendrochronology
Some work has been done with both C. atlantica and C. deodara. As of 2007.11, I have found no records of work on the other species.
Ethnobotany
All species are used in construction and cabinetry, and all are widely planted as ornamentals in temperate areas. C. libani probably has the greatest cultural importance, having been used and revered within its range for millennia.
Observations
See the species accounts. All species are widely planted in arboreta and botanical gardens.
Remarks
KEDROS is the old Greek name for a resinous tree (Vidakovic 1991)."
BILJKE MESOŽDERKE (CARNIVOROUS PLANTS)
„Biljke mesožderke ili karnivorne biljke (Carnivorous plants) su biljke opremljene organima za hvatanje i probavu malenih životinja, mesožderne biljke; ukoliko je ulov kukac, što je najčešće, nazivaju se i insektivorne biljke, tj. kukcožderke. Ove biljke ne mogu proizvesti tvari neophodne za život procesom fotosinteze.“
„Karnivorne biljke su vrlo specijalizirane i nemaju puno predstavnika u biljnom svijetu. Svega nekoliko porodica ima karnivorne predstavnike, a to su od poznatijih porodice Sarraceniaceae, Nepenthaceae, Droseraceae i Lentibulariaceae. U flori Hrvatske možemo naći 8 karnivornih biljaka svrstanih u četiri roda:
- Rod: Aldrovanda L. - vodene stupice, Aldrovanda vesiculosa L. - mjehurasta vodena stupica (vodena biljka živi u močvarama)
- Rod Drosera L. - rosike (na tresetištima), Drosera anglica Huds, Drosera intermedia Hayne, Drosera rotundifolia L.
- Rod Pinguicula L. - tustice (močvarna mjesta i tresetišta) , Pinguicula vulgaris L. - tustica kukcolovka)
- Rod Utricularia L. - mješinke (vodene biljke stajaćih voda) , Utricularia minor L. , Utricularia vulgaris L. , Utricularia neglecta L.“ > VIŠE NA HRV. VIDI >>>>> & >>>>>>>
