Stanford University

Located between San Francisco and San Jose, near the city of Palo Alto, Stanford University is the scientific and academic heart of Silicon Valley. E 'and ordered its campus dotted with palm trees that left the people and technology that have allowed Google and Yahoo , a technology that seems to be perfectly applied to the beautiful Encyclopedia of trees shrubs and vines , posting in this article. The encyclopedia "Trees of Stanford " is extracted from the book "Trees of Stanford and Environs " written by the botanist Ron Bracewell at Stanford Historical Society. Accompanied by pictures and gallery very scrupulous and careful, which are based on photos of herbaria (remarkable is the collection of cards devoted to eucalyptus) its consultation is an opportunity to learn about and get lost in the beauty of hundreds of trees that live in America. So if you're ready to start this virtual journey to discover the trees of California, just click on the text below and then select Encyclopedia of Trees, Shrubs, and Vines . Enjoy your trip!

PS tabs dedicated to Michelia is written the name of this tree comes from the Italian botanist Pietro Mechel (1670 - 1737) while we know (since it is one of our favorite botanical) that the correct name is Pier Antonio Micheli and his birth year is 1679 . If anyone can point out the typo, the authors (perhaps with a mail) may be happy to make this correction, to the benefit of Italy, the Italian botanists and culture of trees.

Today is the feast of
all the trees of Italy.

Here we are finally on the day (the first edition with a different name) Tree National Day, a celebration that will see today and tomorrow planting thousands of trees across Italy. A festival dedicated to our friends the trees, plants living beings, that every day we dispense oxygen, shade, beauty and culture. A party on the rise (a small seed planted) that will certainly be open to further improvements in the next few years (we have already talked about this in a previous post). An appointment and an opportunity to focus our attention, often distracted by other stimuli and thoughts, trees, to touch them, hug them (if not We've never done this before) or simply look up the top and watch them for a moment and realize their silent presence. Good National Tree Day for all.
