Cyclamen 2008

[Gerdk]

Once we have received the definitive spelling we will need the definitive pronounciation!

I am looking forward to the following  disccussion 
- and please, don't forget - there are lots of other plants from the area which contain cilicicum, cilicium, cilicius, chili con carne

[Gerry Webster]

The accepted name in the RHS Horticultural Database is Cyclamen cilicium (Boiss. & Heldr.). The same name is used by the Kew Herbarium catalogue.

Gerry ,

I have tried yesterday the same with RHS database ....but it works not with Cyclamen by me -other genera are not a problem ...
could you please send me the correct link to this database - thank you .

[Gerry Webster]

Hans - here is a link - http://www.rhs.org.uk/databases/summary2.asp?crit=cyclamen%20and%20cilicium&Genus=Cyclamen

Some early flowering cyclamen. Most still seem to be in bud and I would not have expected them for some weeks yet.

[Hans J]

Gerry - many thanks !

I made a mistake - I have searched with this :

http://apps.kew.org/wcsp/home.do

strange - it works for many other plantnames too but not Cyclamen

Had the pint Maggi but not the mince pie and slept like a baby.

 Oh dear, so you woke up every two hours and  screamed blue murder  ?

A good point, Gerd, let us not forget those plants... I myself am looking forward to obtaining seed of Jalapeno chilli con carne..... I'm told it is really hot

Maggi,

I was going to comment exactly the same thing, but you beat me to it.

Today I found a white Cyclamen x perpuris or "Odorella" in flower - it is an artifical hybrid between Cyclamen persicum and Cyclamen purpurascens - in difference to my other Cyclamen it looks a bit like a "monster" - nothing for my rockery - but nice in a pot at the window.

Hans, this link is only for the monocot database

[Kees Jan]

Can anyone tell me which Cyclamen this is please? Photographed in Turkey, near Antakya, just west of Syria in semi-shade. No sign of flowers in October 2008.

That is Cyclamen coum, Kees.

I would like to take this opportunity to apologise to any Forum members who are members of the Cyclamen Society and have not yet received their December Journal.  A computer glitch meant that not all membership sheets were sent to the distributor, and then I did not receive the balance of Journals and inserts to send out.
Hopefully the last Journals will be sent despatched on Tuesday. 

 

[I.S.]

Hi Kees,
I also agree with Tim. It should be Cyclamen coum.
In the same area there is also  Cyclamen cilicium but you say no sight of flower.
I hope you enjoy your travel.
