ePIC is a major project to bring together all of Kew's digitised information about plants and make it easier to search. You can use it to pinpoint information of interest in our varied collections, bibliographies, nomenclators and checklists, publications and taxonomic works, as well as links to information resources provided by external organisations. Where further information from Kew is available online, we will direct you to it.

The greater part of the Wormseed is used in Turkestan, where it grows in enormous quantities in the desert of the Kirghiz, especially near the town of Chimkent, where a factory has been erected in which large quantities of Santonin are produced from the Wormseed collected in the vicinity, not more than 10 per cent of the drug being now exported in the crude state, in which condition it is known in this country as Levant Wormseed.

Weitere Namen sind "Semenzina", "Semen cinae" = "Samen aus Genua", weil er im 16.Jh. über das italienische Genua importiert wurde (und weil man annham, dass es sich um kleine Samenkörner handelt).
Die Bezeichnung "Semen contra" ist nichts weiter als die Abkürzung für "Semen contra vermes" = "Samen gegen Würmer".
Tragus, in 1531, in Brunfels' Herbal, mentions Wormseed as being imported by way of Genoa; it was employed in Italy under the name of "Semenzina" (diminutive of "Semenza" = "seed"), in the belief that it consisted of small seeds. From this word is derived the name of "Semen cinae", by which the drug is often known.
"Semen contra" (another of its names) is an abbreviation of "Semen contra vermes".

Founded as a registered charity in 1978 to combine the talents of botanists, horticulturalists and conservationists with the dedication of keen amateur and professional gardeners, the NCCPG's aims are to:Through its membership and the National Collection Holders, the NCCPG seeks to rediscover and reintroduce endangered garden plants by encouraging their propagation and distribution so that they are grown as widely as possible. The NCCPG works closely with other conservation bodies as well as botanic gardens, The National Trust, The National Trust for Scotland, English Heritage, The Royal Horticultural Society and many specialist horticultural societies.
- encourage the propagation and conservation of endangered garden plants in the British Isles, both species and cultivars;
- encourage and conduct research into cultivated plants, their origins, their historical and cultural importance and their environments;
- encourage the education of the public in garden plant conservation.

Kurzbeschreibung
The Etymological Dictionary of Succulent Plant Names explains the meanings of the scientific names given to all known succulent plants, including cacti. With the derivation of the currently accepted names of over 10,000 taxa, the dictionary is a useful supplement to the "Illustrated Handbook of Succulent Plants". It is a valuable reference for plant scientists, horticulturists, and hobbyists with an interest in succulent plants.
Kurzbeschreibung
The lush, sculptural hosta is loved by gardeners for its ability to both combine well with other plants and project a strong presence when planted alone. "The New Encyclopedia of Hostas" - the second edition of Diana Grenfell and Michael Shadrack's classic work - provides growth and cultivation information for seven hundred cultivated hostas. Detailed, easy-to-read descriptions include growing tips, recommendations for landscape use, and suggestions for companion plants. Clear cultivation advice is provided, including recommendations for hostas that succeed in challenging environments, such as the warmer regions of the United States. Captivating photographs show hostas up close and in a wide range of different garden situations. Gardeners will appreciate the depth and scope of this essential reference and use it time and again to help with plant selection and identification, and to inspire new plantings.
Über den Autor
Diana Grenfell is co-founder of the British Hosta and Hemerocallis Society and a life member of the American Hosta Society. With her husband, Roger Grounds, she is former co-owner of Apple Court, a British nursery specializing in hostas, daylilies, and grasses. Diana has done much to raise the profile of hostas throughout the world, broadcasting, lecturing, and writing many authoritative books and articles on the plant. Her garden in Gloucestershire is home to a National Plant Collection of miniature hostas. Michael Shadrack is a photographer with more than six thousand hosta images in his library. He is an active member of the British Hosta and Hemerocallis Society and the American Hosta Society, and has assumed leadership roles in both organizations. Michael regularly lectures on hostas in North America and Europe, and is an avid hybridizer as well. With his wife, Kathy, he often leads tours of private gardens throughout the United Kingdom and the United States. In 1996, Mike retired from London's Metropolitan Police after thirty-two years of service and has rarely sat down since. As a police officer he served in many parts of London including Soho, Whitechapel, and at Scotland Yard. He now gardens in Western New York where with his wife he maintains a large collection of modern cultivars and a garden devoted to small hostas.
David Hunt hatte ein Ziel, das neue Kakteen-Lexikon soll die Nachfolge der Werke von Britton & Rose oder Backeberg antreten. Es stellt den vollständigen Stand des aktuellen Wissens über die Kakteen dar und soll damit den Status eines allumfassenden Referenzwerk für Profis und Liebhaber haben. Mit mehr als 2500 Abbildungen in einem eigenständigen Bildatlas sehr opulent illustriert.
Projects Project profile:
New Cactus Lexicon
Published privately in July 2006 by principal compiler/editor David Hunt, and assisted by Nigel Taylor and Graham Charles, as a not-for-profit project, the New Cactus Lexicon (2 volumes) is the most comprehensive compendium on Cactaceae ever to appear. It is likely to remain unrivalled as a collection of high quality documented images of cacti and an invaluable source of reference for all students of the family. More than 95% of all cactus taxa recognised at the level of species and subspecies are illustrated with 2,505 colour images in the Atlas volume, the majority as plants of known wild provenance, whether in habitat or cultivation. The text volume lists and documents alphabetically the recognised genera and all species names in current use, whether accepted or as synonyms, with bibliographic details, typification, abbreviated diagnostic descriptions, cross references to illustrations in the Atlas, geographical distribution by country and state, and taxonomic commentary. Indexes are provided to all names in current use and basionyms, besides a list of IUCN Red List categories and preliminary conservation assessments for all taxa considered to be threatened in any way. The Atlas volume is organised systematically, with the larger and more complex genera broken down into subgeneric groupings to aid identification. In this way it can function like a ‘pictorial herbarium’. The two volumes together run to nearly 1,000 pages.
More than 100 individuals around the world have contributed photographic images to the Atlas volume, including local botanical collaborators from Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Mexico, Peru and the USA. The project is a remarkable example of what can be achieved when professionals and amateurs work together. The collaborators who have contributed either directly or indirectly to the text volume are all members of the International Cactaceae Systematics Group.

Atlas volume
With its 526 pages of illustrations this volume is a stunning visual masterpiece, and the most comprehensive pictorial record of cacti ever published (the slightly blurred quality of the examples is entirely due to my reproduction).
...
Text volume
The text volume comprises 373 pages and is a no-frills dictionary of the currently recognized genera, species and subspecies of cacti. It does not include any chapters of general information about the family, its history, morphology, ethnobotany, cultivation and so on - so don’t expect an encyclopedic work like Anderson’s The Cactus Family or Benson’s Cacti of the United States and Canada.
