the latest
monthly update of Botany Gardens News
In 1946 the University
purchased the estate of Plas Penglais. Within two years the house was
extensively renovated and enlarged, while the wilderness around it was being
tackled by the garden staff, who created the lovely garden, with lawns
sweeping down to the little brook and beds of shrubby and perennial plants.
These beds became known as the Order Beds because each one was planted up
with plants belonging to the same flowering family or natural order. On the
other side of the brook, on the east side of Plas Penglais drive (across
Penglais Road opposite the main campus entrance), a large wooden- framed
glasshouse was erected, along with a single storey brick building which now
constitutes our present potting- and storage-sheds.
 
Ten years later, when Professor Philip Wareing was appointed Head of the
Botany Department, more glasshouses were added to the site, and these were
used for research. Some of these houses (A1, A2, A3, and A10), built nearly
fifty years ago, are still in good condition and are in constant use today.
In 1978 the large Teaching House was erected. In 1981 the original
wooden-framed Tropical House was dismantled and replaced by the present
aluminium-framed glasshouse.
Tropical house
Within the Tropical House is a wide diversity of plant species, including
Lycophyta (club mosses), ferns (around ten species), cycads, forty or so
species of Cacti and succulents, a banana ‘tree’ and a date palm,
insectivorous plants and Orchids, and many others grown simply for their
ornamental value. Students and campus visitors are welcome to visit the
glasshouses and see these exotic plant species. Entrance to the Tropical
Glasshouse is through the potting shed. Please remember that the buildings
are only open during working hours (closed 1300 – 1400).

Ferns and Cycads
The largest plants in the Glasshouse are the tree fern Angiopteris evecta
(right) and the cycad Cycas revoluta. There are a number of ferns
and cycads in the collection.
Click on the Hyperlinks below for a few examples:
Division Pteridophyta
(the ferns)
Division Cycadophyta
(the cycads)
Flowering Plants
(the Angiosperms)
Flowering plants are assembled in beds and displays, like the bromeliads
and aroids shown to the right.
In the classification system devised by Cronquist, the angiosperms are the Division Magnoliophyta, which is
subdivided into two classes (ending -opsida), each of which is
divided into subclasses (ending -idae). In all, there are 12 angiosperm
subclasses, containing 400 families (ending -aceae) and more than
200,000 species.
Class
Liliopsida (the monocots) -
Subclasses Alismatidae, Arecidae, Commelinidae, Zingiberidae,
Liliidae
Class Magnoliopsida (the dicots) -
Subclasses Magnoliidae, Hamamelidae, Caryophyllidae, Dilleniidae,
Rosidae, Asteridae.
These Web Pages will highlight a selection of representatives
of these taxonomic groups found in the Tropical Glasshouse. Click
