Buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides L.)
Hello all,
On the 1991 Russian Institute of Plant Industry
(VIR) / NAFEX exchange trip we saw some Sea Buckthorn. Jim Gilbert & Hector
Black are very experienced with this.
There may be a computer data base
of cultivar information in the Russian language on varieties. While there I was
given (the others on the trip may also have same) a booklet written by Maria
Pleckenhova (now deceased) titled "List of Descriptors for Hippophae
rahamnoides L." The introduction says "The present list of
descriptors has been designed to unify the described characteristics of
Hippophae rahamnoides L. for the accumulation, storing, and
processing data in computerized data bases."
The 24 page booklet in
Russian and English contains no varietal information. I have no use for this
booklet and would be happy to gift it to anyone actively working with sea
buckthorn who may have access to such a data base or wished to record such using
existing protocol. Although I'd imagine such a data base would be accompanied by
the descriptors. I thought I had a booklet of their varieties, but can't find it
right now.
Jerry
