The study focuses on the most common plant-based handicrafts in several Balkan countries (Bulgaria, Romania, Serbia, and Turkey), richness and diversity of plants used like raw, folk botanical knowledge, as well as to give impression about their contemporary and development in study area, in relation to natural plant resources and national traditions. The study was conducted during 2006-2007 period and the gathered data are largely from literature,

The aim of the study is to show some of the most common and popular plants used as raw in some traditional handicrafts in Balkan countries, in relation to the natural plant resources and national traditions. The information is gathered largely from literature, analyzing the findings in the existing ethnographic collections as well as field collected data and interviewed during field survey conducted during 2006-2007 more than 50 local informants

Planta Europa, the network for plant conservation, brings together more than 60 organizations working towards the common goal of conserving the wild plants of Europe. It is an outstanding example of genuine European partnership between governments and non-governmental bodies delivering results. At the 3rd Planta Europa Conference in 2001, experts from 30 European countries developed the European Plant Conservation Strategy. This far-reaching conservation

The essential oils of four species of Nepeta L. genus have been examined. The oils of N. cataria and N. nuda ssp. nuda are characterized by the presence of nepetalactone isomers. The other two species represented by N. parviflora and N. ucranica ssp. ucranica have a rare status within The Vascular Plant Red List for Romania. Nepetalactone isomers are not present in the essential oils of the latest two species. All species excepting N. cataria have

The paper presents the morphological, anatomical, bio-ecological and chorogical data regarding Sorbus intermedia (Ehrh.) Pers. (Rosaceae) in Romania. The Swedish white beam is a compact and rounded tree with dark green leaves. The leaves are elliptic, toothed, and lobed near the bases, with corymbs of white flowers bloom in late spring followed by red berries. Morpho-anatomical characteristics of the vegetative organs have been analyzed, regarding

The results of a complete study of nutlet morphology, anatomy and mixocarpy in two cultivated species of Nepeta genus (Lamiaceae, Nepetoideae) are investigated. The cultivated species are represented by Nepeta cataria L. 'Citriodora' and Nepeta grandiflora Bieb. (Sect. Nepeta). Two main types of pericarp pattern, smooth and sculptured, are described. A detailed description of the anatomy, macromorphology and micromorphology of Nepeta's nutlets is

Morpho-anatomical studies of four Nepeta species from Romania are reported in this study. The investigated taxa feature useful taxonomic characters that can be used to establish interspecific relationships among Nepeta species. The morpho-anatomical characters of stem and leaves are proposed for taxonomical purposes. To assess more accurately the above relationships, fruits and pollen were further investigated using SEM techniques. The characters
