Plethora of plants – collections of the Botanical Garden, Faculty of Science, University of Zagreb (5): Gladiolus, Crocus and other members of Iridaceae family

The plant lists of Gladiolus, Crocus and other members of the Iridaceae family grown in the Botanical Garden from 1895 to 2021 are studied, with a supplement for the genus Iris, analyzed in 2019. The nomenclature, synonymy and origin of plant material were arranged. Lists of species grown in the last 126 years are constructed to show that throughout that period at least 448 taxa of wild and cultivated Iridaceae from 30 genera inhabited the Garden’s collections. Today we have 371 taxa out of 21 genera. Out of this number, the genus Gladiolus accounts for 35 taxa (formerly 50), Crocus 7 (formerly 27), while Iris includes as many as 291 species, cultivars and hybrids. The remaining 18 Iridaceae genera are represented by 38 taxa

Obilje bilja – zbirke Botaničkoga vrta Prirodoslovno-matematičkog fakulteta Sveučilišta u Zagrebu (3): Zbirka perunika (Iris, Iridaceae)

In this paper, the plant lists of the genus Iris (Iridaceae family) grown in Zagreb Botanical Garden of the Faculty of Science since 1895 are studied. Synonymy, nomenclature and origin of plant material were sorted. Lists of species grown in the last 124 years have been constructed to show that during that period at least 273 taxa of wild and cultivated irises inhabited the Garden’s collections. Today we have 168 species, cultivars and hybrids.U ovom članku sastavljeni su popisi svojta perunika (rod Iris, porodica Iridaceae) uzgajanih u Botaničkom vrtu zagrebačkog Prirodoslovno-matematičkog fakulteta između 1895. i 2019. godine. Uređena je sinonimika i nomenklatura te istraženo podrijetlo biljnog materijala. Rezultati pokazuju da su tijekom 124 godine kroz zbirke Botaničkog vrta prošle najmanje 273 divlje i uzgojne svojte perunika. Danas uzgajamo 168 vrsta, kultivara i križanaca

Plethora of plants – Collections of the Botanical Garden, Faculty of Science, University of Zagreb (7): Historical overview of Fern (Monilophyta; Polypodiopsida; Polypodiophyta) Collections

This sequel provides a historical overview of collections of ferns (Monilophyta; Polypodiopsida or Polypodiophyta) grown in the Zagreb Faculty of Science Botanical Garden between 1895 and 2021. Although opinions on the systematics, classification, nomenclature and taxonomy of “true” ferns still diverge greatly, Equisetaceae and Psilotaceae are commonly included. At least 376 taxa of native and cultivated ferns from 29 families have been grown in the Botanical Garden during the last 126 years. Unfortunately, the complete COVID-19-lockdown, devastating earthquakes and weather extremes of 2020, extending to 2021, diminished our collections. Today we are growing 86 taxa within 20 families of ferns and their closest relatives

CT Follow-Up and Clinical Outcome in Severe Traumatic Injury Patients

Determining a patient’s prognosis after severe traumatic brain injury remains difficult and complex. The purpose of the present study was following up patients with severe traumatic brain injury by correlating their clinical outcome and sequential computer tomography (CT) findings. We investigated 51 patients who survived the first year following an accident. All patients underwent successive CT examinations within a maximum period of 2 years. The patients’ outcomes depended on the underlying brain damage and are presented by the Glasgow Outcome Scale. Based on the investigated data we concluded that the worst outcomes were experienced by patients with initial massive cerebral edema, extensive subdural hematoma and intraventricular hemorrhage, followed by stroke as subacute CT finding and cerebral atrophy as chronic finding visible at follow-up CT scans. The majority of lesions identified by CT scan were found in the frontal lobes, basal ganglia, and temporal lobes. We suggest that CT examination still represents a simple and useful tool in attempting to predict the clinical outcome in patients with severe traumatic brain injury

A contribution to the vascular flora of the Pelješac Peninsula (southern Croatia)

The Pelješac Peninsula (355 km2) is located in the south-eastern part of the Croatian Adriatic coast and characterised by considerable variations in types of vegetation. As a result of intensive floristic and vegetational research on the Pelješac Peninsula between 1994 and 1999, 64 hitherto unrecorded taxa were identified. A further 43 were identified from existing specimens in the Herbarium of the Lokrum Botanic Garden. The total number of new taxa for this area is thus 107, which brings the total number of vascular flora species for it to more than 1100

Izlazak iz živog pijeska (1): Revizija sustava bilježenja biljnih vrsta u Botaničkom vrtu Prirodoslovno-matematičkog fakulteta Sveučilišta u Zagrebu

The current plant recording system of the Botanical Garden of the Faculty of Science is a system stuck in time with a faded historical background. Intensive archival research was conducted to reconstruct and review the entire history of the plant recording system in the Garden and the data available in it. This way the organizational history is preserved for future generations and the knowledge and data collected for this article, will facilitate the Garden’s plant recording system moving into the 21st century.Povijest sustava za bilježenje zbirki biljaka u Botaničkom vrtu Prirodoslovno-matematičkog fakulteta i postupci u upravljanju njime većinom su nepoznati i nezabilježeni. Provedeno je arhivističko istraživanje radi povijesne rekonstrukcije upravljanja sustavom za bilježenje biljaka i uvida u kvantitativnu i kvalitativnu količinu povijesnih podataka o našim zbirkama. Ovim radom čuvamo dio povijesti upravljanja Vrtom za buduće generacije, dok će rezultati prikupljeni istraživanjem usmjeriti daljnji razvoj sustava za bilježenje biljaka u našem Botaničkom vrtu
