Eastern Turkey

[Lesley Cox]

Lesley - Good thing Philip's in medicine he can defibralte you though he probably buys cheap batteries at Canadian Tire. johnw.

He'd better use the one we have each Saturday at the market then. Can't rely on cheap batteries. Happily, even with 8-10,000 people at our Farmers' Market each Saturday morning, I've not yet had to use it, though am trained to do so. Usually it's the occasional cut or ankle sprain, or last week, a wasp sting. 

My heart rate is gradually returning to normal and I've even been out to the young EE. repens and asiatica plants to say "Why can't you do that?"

Starbucks here is pretty good actually Arthur.

The outstanding plant Phelypaea boissieri has featured on a postage stamp.........

Another plant from Eastern Turkey with fantastic aroma - monocarpic Neotchihatchevia isatidea pictured at very end of May this spring between Kop Daģ gec. and Soģanli pass. Sorry, if in spelling is some mistake.

This rather  extraordinary plant, Neotchihatchewia isatidea  is a synonym of  Tchihatchewia isatidea edit : Tchihatchewia isatidea is a synonym of Neotchihatchewia isatidea

Paul Cumbleton has featured it in the Wisley Logs ....

Like a coloured and hairy version of our Notothlaspi rosulatum. Same family of course.

Thanks Maggi, I had missed that Log altogether, at the time.

Maggi,
Correctly - Tchihatchewia isatidea is a synonym of Neotchihatchewia isatidea

Could someone please give the phonetic pronunciation of both these species?

[Brian Ellis]

Well as Michauxia tchihatcheffii is pronounced ker-hat-chee-ovii, I would think it is probably ker-hat-che-via.

I'm only posting this Pat in the hope someone will pick me up on my mis-pronunciation

Quite right Janis, I got it backwards! It is Tchihatchewia isatidea which is the accepted name
