Ulmus wallichiana
U. wallichiana, Withdean Park, Brighton.
Conservation status
Vulnerable (IUCN 2.3)
Scientific classification
Kingdom:	Plantae
Division:	Magnoliophyta
Class:	Magnoliopsida
Order:	Rosales
Family:	Ulmaceae
Genus:	Ulmus
Species:	U. wallichiana
Binomial name
Ulmus wallichiana Planch.

The Himalayan Elm Ulmus wallichiana Planch., also known as the Kashmir Elm, is a mountain tree ranging from central Nuristan in Afghanistan, through northern Pakistan and the Kashmir, to western Nepal at elevations from 800 m to 3000 m. Although dissimilar in appearance, its common name is occasionally used in error for the Cherry Bark Elm Ulmus villosa, which is also endemic to the Kashmir, but inhabits the valleys, not the mountain slopes. The species is closely related to the Wych Elm U. glabra.

Description

Photo: Matthew Ellis

The Himalayan Elm grows to 30 m tall, with a broad crown featuring several ascending branches. The bark of the trunk is greyish brown and longitudinally furrowed. The leaves are elliptic-acuminate, < 13 cm long and 6 cm broad on petioles 5 mm - 10 mm long. The samarae are usually orbicular, < 13 mm in diameter .

Pests and diseases

The tree has a high resistance to the fungus Ophiostoma himal-ulmi endemic to the Himalaya and the cause of Dutch elm disease there. However U. wallichiana was found to be one of the most preferred elms for feeding and reproduction by the adult elm leaf beetle Xanthogaleruca luteola and feeding by the Japanese Beetle Popillia japonica in the USA. Tests in Italy confirmed the American findings, and also determined a moderately high susceptibility to Elm Yellows.

Cultivation and uses

The tree was investigated as a source of anti-fungal genes for use in the Dutch elm breeding programme, with the result that a frost-resistant variety was selected for propagation and breeding. Endemic to an impoverished region with no fossil fuel resources, U. wallichiana is heavily lopped for firewood, and also for fodder, leaving it in danger of extermination in some areas. Elsewhere however, it has been deliberately planted near villages and farmhouses. Recognizing its predicament, efforts have been made in India to conserve the tree by drying the seeds and placing them in refrigerated storage . A species of considerable commercial potential, research has also been undertaken into optimal propagation methods .

The tree is grown in several arboreta in the UK, but by far the largest collection is held by Brighton & Hove City Council, the NCCPG elm collection holder, which has some 60 specimens, including the British Isles champions in school grounds at Rottingdean. The tree tends to be rather short-boled in Brighton & Hove, and readily defoliates in times of drought.

There are no known cultivars of this taxon, nor is it known to be in commerce.

Etymology

The tree is named for the Danish botanist Nathaniel Wallich.

Subspecies & varieties

There are two subspecies, wallichiana and xanthoderma, and a variety tomentosa identified by Melville & Heybroek , distinguished largely by variations in pubescence of the leaves and young stems.

Hybrids

• Ulmus × brandisiana

Hybrid cultivars

U. wallichiana was crossed with the Exeter Elm U. glabra ‘Exoniensis’ in the Netherlands in the 1950s to create Clone 202. This clone was to form an essential component of the Dutch elm breeding programme in the 1960s and 1970s . Selfed or hybridized with U. minor or earlier Dutch hybrids, its progeny include ‘Clusius’, ‘Dodoens’, ‘Lobel’, and ‘Plantyn’. ‘Plantyn’ was in turn to play a vital part in the third generation of Dutch hybrids; two selfed specimens were selected and released as ‘Columella’ and, much later, ‘Wanoux’ (Vada), while ‘Plantyn’ itself was crossed with U. ‘Bea Schwarz’ to create ‘Nanguen’ (Lutèce), arguably the most successful Dutch elm cultivar released to date. ‘Plantyn’ was also selected for use in the Italian elm breeding programme that started in the 1970s, and was crossed with varieties of the Siberian Elm U. pumila to create a number of hardy trees renown for their rapid upright growth: ‘Arno’, ‘Plinio’, and ‘San Zanobi’.

Damocles

  (Redirected from Sword of Damocles)
Jump to: navigation, search

In Richard Westall’s Sword of Damocles, 1812, the boys of Cicero’s anecdote have been changed to maidens for a neoclassical patron, Thomas Hope.

Damocles (pronounced ) is a figure featured in a single moral anecdote concerning the Sword of Damocles, which was a late addition to classical Greek culture. The figure belongs properly to legend rather than Greek myth. The anecdote apparently figured in the lost history of Sicily by Timaeus of Tauromenium (c. 356 – 260 BC). The Roman orator Cicero may have read it in Diodorus Siculus. He made use of it in his Tusculan Disputations, V. 61–62, by which means it passed into the European cultural mainstream.

Contents 1 The story 2 In culture, art, and literature 3 Notes 4 External links

The story

The Damocles of the anecdote was an obsequious courtier in the court of Dionysius II of Syracuse, a fourth century BC tyrant of Syracuse. Damocles exclaimed that, as a great man of power and authority, Dionysius was truly fortunate. Dionysius offered to switch places with him for a day, so he could taste first hand that fortune. In the evening a banquet was held where Damocles very much enjoyed being waited upon like a king. Only at the end of the meal did he look up and notice a sharpened sword hanging directly above his head by a single horse-hair. Immediately, he lost all taste for the amenities and asked leave of the tyrant, saying he no longer wanted to be so fortunate.

Dionysius had successfully conveyed a sense of the constant fear in which the great man lives. Cicero uses this story as the last in a series of contrasting examples for reaching the conclusion he had been moving towards in this fifth Disputation, in which the theme is that virtue is sufficient for living a happy life. Cicero asks

“Does not Dionysius seem to have made it sufficiently clear that there can be nothing happy for the person over whom some fear always looms?”

A slightly different moral to the story of the Sword of Damocles is that, “The value of the sword is not that it falls, but rather, that it hangs.” Recent history has given weight to this variation when compared to, for example, mutual assured destruction (MAD).

In culture, art, and literature

The Sword of Damocles is frequently used in allusion to this tale, epitomizing the imminent and ever-present peril faced by those in positions of power. More generally, it is used to denote the sense of foreboding engendered by a precarious situation, especially one in which the onset of tragedy is restrained only by a delicate trigger or chance. Shakespeare’s Henry IV expands on this theme: “Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown”; compare the Hellenistic and Roman imagery connected with the insecurity offered by Tyche and Fortuna.

Woodcut images of the Sword of Damocles as an emblem appear in sixteenth and seventeenth-century European books of devices, with moralizing couplets or quatrains, with the import METUS EST PLENUS TYRANNIS, lit. “Fear is plentiful for tyrants”, i.e., “A tyrant’s fear is complete fear” — as it is the tyrant’s place to sit daily under the sword. In Wenceslas Hollar’s Emblemata Nova (London, no date), a small vignette shows Damocles under a canopy of state, at the festive table, with Dionysius seated nearby; the etching, with its clear political moral, was later used by Thomas Hobbes to illustrate his Philosophicall Rudiments concerning Government and Society (London 1651).

The Sword of Damocles appears frequently in popular culture including novels, feature films, television series, videogames and music.

Seth Ward (bishop)

Jump to: navigation, search

Bishop Ward

Seth Ward (1617 – 6 January 1689) was an English mathematician, astronomer, and bishop.

Contents 1 Early life 2 Academic 3 Churchman 4 References 5 External links

Early life

He was born in Hertfordshire, and educated at Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge, where he graduated B.A. in 1636 and M.A. in 1640, becoming a Fellow in that year. In 1643 he was chosen university mathematical lecturer, but he was deprived of his fellowship next year for opposing the Solemn League and Covenant (with Isaac Barrow, John Barwick and Peter Gunning).

Academic

In the 1640s, he took instruction in mathematics from William Oughtred, and stayed with relations of Samuel Ward.

In 1649 he became Savilian professor of astronomy at Oxford University, and gained a high reputation by his theory of planetary motion. It was propounded in the works entitled In Ismaelis Bullialdi astro-nomiae philolaicae fundamenta inquisitio brevis (Oxford, 1653), against the cosmology of Ismael Boulliau, and Astronomia geometrica (London, 1656) on the system of Kepler. About this time he was engaged in a philosophical controversy with Thomas Hobbes, in fact a small part of the debate with John Webster launched by the Vindiciae academiarum he wrote with John Wilkins which also incorporated an attack on William Dell.

He was one of the original members of the Royal Society of London. In 1659 he was appointed President of Trinity College, Oxford, but not having the statutory qualifications he resigned in 1660.

Churchman

King Charles II appointed him to the livings of St Lawrence Jewry in London, and Uplowman, Devonshire, in 1661. He also became dean of Exeter Cathedral (1661) and rector of St Breock, Cornwall in 1662. In the latter year he was consecrated Bishop of Exeter, and in 1667 he was translated to the see of Salisbury. The office of Chancellor of the Order of the Garter was conferred on him in 1671.

In his diocese he showed great severity to nonconformists, and rigidly enforced the act prohibiting conventicles. He spent a great deal of money on the restoration of the cathedrals of Worcester and Salisbury. He died at Knightsbridge on 6 January 1689.

The Mighty Wallop!

Jump to: navigation, search

The Mighty Wallop! was a short-lived Jamestown, New York-based band formed by Dennis Drew, Steve Gustafson, and Jeff Erickson of the band 10,000 Maniacs in 2001. It was quickly a sextet, which included Ryan Seekings on drums, Stan Barton on fiddle, and another guitar player. Drew and Erickson recorded around 50 songs as demos, and the band played a handful of shows as a sextet through Summer, 2001, most notably the well-received performance at The Great Blue Heron Music Festival in 2001. Shortly after that performance, the band restructured itself into a trio (Drew, Gustafson, and Erickson), performing occasionally through 2002.
