Rio Uribe
Botanist Leandro Aristeguieta (1923-2012) was not the last root of the ally in his country, Venezuela. He promoted the university, created schools and botanical gardens, promoted the Botanical Society of Venezuela... he worked for the knowledge of the native vegetation. Thanks to him, we know hundreds of new plants, among which Espeletia, Coespeletia and Espeletiopsis stand out.
His last name, in praise, bears the name of a whole genus of plants. This genus of Aristeguieta comprises 22 species. One of them is Aristeguieta Uribei. When I met that plant, I thought, “If there are Basque plants, that will be Aristeguieta to the grasslands.” Do I know where Aristeguieta comes from, but the devils? Which other neighbor of Uribe will honor? And here's the surprise. In South America, there are many plants that carry the name Uribei. If you're reading on your feet, sit down, all of them bear the last name Uribei: Paragynoxys, Ida, Sudamerlycaste, Salvia, Clidemia, Espeletia, Machaerium, Stelia, Sobralia, Berberis, Lepanthes, Epipendrum, Calliandra, Aphelandra, Croton, Matalea, Dicliptera, Monochaetum and Heteropterys. Surely there will be more. In the search to find something else about this topic, here where I found that Uribe also has a gender: The Uribe. The only plant of this genus is Uribea tamarindoides. Tree that lives in Colombia and Costa Rica: a large hard-wood tree, but good, that grows up to 40 meters. It must be spectacular, to distinguish itself from the adjoining trees, when dressed in a rosette floral scarf.
But of that which is called Uribe there is no trace! And I was excited by curiosity. I thought that the most correct thing is to write in search of information to all the Botanical Gardens in the area. And, look, the surprise. The Medellín Botanical Garden is called Joaquín Antonio Uribe. I have omitted everything else and I have written to them a letter asking that this man be the reason for his link. If there's an answer, you'll know. This Uribe by Ditxoso! In South America I hear a smell that will be the garfio to get to know a lot of plants that bear the Basque name. There's a show.
The day exceeds the night with the spring equinox. This year it happened on 20 March, at 22:59 hours, opening the door of the spring. The Eki prefix means the same thing. Until then the night had been longer. The day and night were twelve hours. Since then, the day is extended... [+]
Time has been on our line for a long time, but the climate is relatively recent. There is no need to clarify too much what climate change is. Explaining what the landscape is is a redder necessity. Conferences, round tables or international conferences on climate change are... [+]
It's time to pick up the fruits and get them on the way to the lagar. Pear (Pyrus communis), apple (Malus x domestica), grape (Vitis vinifera)... It seems a short and quick road, but you have to work a lot of rodeos and their variants until the fruit becomes must and must become... [+]
In the Basque Country, agriculture is the history of permanent colonization. Like everywhere. Before, the land was not cultivated; before, the harvest was not sown; you enjoyed what was not eaten before. They had brought it all from elsewhere. Many of these stories have been... [+]
Returning to the wines that are made with the crops, the left madreselva (Humulus lupulus) is conservative and bitter tasting aggregator. The union of crops and madreselvas produces many dirty jets, especially in beer countries. A friend has just explained to me the stories of... [+]
In our house we met him with the name of madreselva (Humulus lupulus). In fact, we have worked hard and sinister on the banks of the river in our country, coinciding with the expansion of beer. We've learned that it's also called lobster, beer, beer, wart and grass on the left... [+]
Spring has brought the issue to my nose. C. worked at various research centers in New York. Bushdid, M. Oh! Magnasco, L.B. Vosshall and A. An article published by scientists Keller in March 2014 in the prestigious “Science Magazine” produced a great stir. The title says it... [+]
The curious interannual days end, those who eat and drink from the emanations of the earth. I'll eat from the best to the best. Supposedly. Heavy champagne and cava bottles are easy to dance. Even though they are of all kinds today, they were once the cider of the other barrel... [+]
