Geocities Archived

I used to have extensive html pages on the now dead geocities web site. Well, not totally dead as it's on in Japan only these days. But for the rest of the world, geocities was closed on 2009 1027. Just before that, I did a mad scramble to transfer all my geocities web pages to google's blogger web site blogspot. But today, I just discovered that an archival web site called oocities archives the now dead geocities web pages. And that yes they do archive my ex pages. They are all there from http://www.oocities.org/clajeux/. Good ol' basic html....
         That page leads to the taxonomic list at http://www.oocities.org/clajeux/ListeTaxonomique.html.  From there, links are sometimes still dead. Links to http://www.oocities.org/aildoux/cycas.htm and other oocities.org pages lead to dead ends.  Same with pages under http://mywebpage.netscape.com (Netscape's also now dead web pages that I also transfered to Blogger),
          On the other hand, some (not all) links to jpg images under http://ca.oocities.com lead to the same jpg but under http://www.oocities.org (like http://ca.oocities.com/clajeux/Vellozia_CongoBelge.jpg leads to http://www.oocities.org/clajeux/Vellozia_CongoBelge.jpg, but not from here, only from the Taxonomic List web page).  Same with pages under http://bp3.blogger.com (Blogger's images domain), http://aildoux.blogspot.ca (the Blogger pages you are on now), pages to http://aildoux.tripod.com/index.html, pages to http://www.angelfire.com/dc2/aildesbois/index.html.
           Anyway, I'm posting this here mainly as a note to self but also for archival reasons. Could be useful later.

12 New Genera, 1 New Family

A few new additions to my Taxonomic List.

First off, a genera I already showed, but this time the stamp has the specie name mentioned and not only the genus name. So I'm adding it. Inscriptions: Tropaeolum majus L. PERU CORREROS I/.0.80 FLORA Á. NY. BUDAPEST.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Next up is also a genus I already showed but it had not the latin name on it at all. This one has, but with a little typo, as so often happens on stamps. Oh well, it's better than nothing. The genus name should be Telopea. Inscriptions: C$16 AEREO NICARAGUA 1988 Telopia speciosissima.
BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB

Now I show the new genera. First, to continue with the Americas, is a genus from the cactus family. Inscriptions: MEXICO NOPALXOCHIA PHYLLANTHOIDES 20¢ 1977-78.
CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC

Now we jump across the ocean to Africa with an Orchidaceae specie. Spelled right, the genus name is actually Plectrelminthus. Inscriptions: REPUBLIQUE GABONAISE 100F Poste 2004 PLECTRELMINTUS CAUDATUS Cartor.
DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Continuing in Africa, this is a plant of the Santalaceae family. Inscriptions: REPUBLIQUE DE CÔTE D'IVOIRE POSTE 2005 100F Les plantes rares en voie d'extinction Okoubaka aubrevillei (Santalaceae) COLLECTION PROFESSEUR LAURENT AKE-ASSI. Suppose to be a medicinal plant but the stamp states that it's in danger of extinction. Hope that goes only for this country!
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Also from Africa is plant of the Leguminosae family, subfamily Mimosaceae. Inscriptions: ANGOLA Correios ALBIZZIA VERSICOLOR 50 Des. AUGUSTO FERREIRA LITOMAIA - PORTO - PORTUGAL.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

From Kenya is a plant from the Rutaceae, or citrus family. Insciptions: Kenya 25/= 2007 Nairobi Arboretum Centenary Cape Chestnut Calodendrum capensis.
GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

Inscriptions: REPOBLIKAN'I MADAGASIKARA 4400 FMG 880 AVIARY TAKHTAJANIA PERRIERI (CAPURON) PAOSITRA 2002.
This is a peculiar plant, very rare. A primitive flowering plant, it's now classified in the Winteraceae family. It's a new family that did not exist in the days of the Dalla Torr & Harms list. As so often happens, even the genus name is not mentioned in DTH, but a synonym is, Bubbia, and that one is placed in under the genus Drimys in the family Magnoliaceae, and so I place it there.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Inscriptions: REPOBLIKAN'I MADAGASIKA paositra 2003 100 Fmg Xyloolaena perrieri 20 Ariary.
A plant of the Anonaceae family. This stamp and the others of the series illustrated here is printed so that I've had to scan them in a less sharp way or else bloom-like lines appear across them. They look better this way, believe me.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Inscriptions: REPOBLIKAN'I MADAGASIKA paositra 2003 500 Fmg Megistostegium microphyllum 100 Ariary.
A Malvaceae, like the hibiscus and cotton plant and some popular northern perrenials such as the mauve and the passerose.

Inscriptions: REPOBLIKAN'I MADAGASIKA paositra 2003 600 Fmg Tambourissa 120 Ariary.
Monimiaceae family. I had only one other plant of this tiny family.
KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

Inscriptions: REPOBLIKAN'I MADAGASIKA paositra 2003 1.000 Fmg Leptolaena diospyroidea 200 Ariary.
This and the next one are from the new family in my collection, the Chlaenaceae.
LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

Inscriptions: REPOBLIKAN'I MADAGASIKA paositra 2003 7.500 Fmg Schizolaena tampoketsana 1.500 Ariary.
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

Inscriptions: INTERNATIONAL LETTER WRITING WEEK 1999 12 BATH THAILAND.
Finally, from Asia is Bretschneidera sinensis from the Hippocastanaceae family. Aesculus is the genus I knew from this family, on stamp and in real life. This one is new to me. Interesting.

Tecophilaea cyanocrocus

On dit que ce taxon est maitenant extinct dans la nature sauvage. Il n'existerait que sous forme cultivé. Il poussait originalement au Chilie et aurait été la victime d'une récorlte trop intensive pour le commerce des bulbes de collection.
