PRESENTED PAPERS 89 The project is divided into two parts, one dealing with the establishment of collections and characterization of the material, the other with conservation strategies. Table 2 shows the species on the A-list, selected according to the results from the different country reports, with priority given to these species. Table 2. Species on the A-list and the different countries' selection of priority plants Species Estonia Denmark Latvia Finland Lithuania Sweden Norway Iceland Acorus calamus X Arnica sp. X X Helichrysum arenarium X X X Hypericum sp. X X Origanum vulgare X X X X X Rhodiola rosea X X X X X Thymus sp. X X X X Valeriana officinalis X X The purpose of this work is to describe genetic diversity within species with value as spice and medicinal plants in our region, mainly based on morphological characterizations in the collected material. These species cover differences in: 1. geographical distribution (southern/northern, montane/widely distributed) 2. Red List status (rare/common) 3. origin (indigenous wild/cultivated/subspontaneous) 4. use (traditional use/actual commercial production/potential for use) 5. purpose (medicinal/spice) 6. need for conservation activities This year [2002] will be dedicated to the establishment of collections. The plants will be collected both as seeds and living plants from different regions and if possible different kinds of habitats. The delegates from different countries will be responsible for developing descriptor lists for the species. The second part of the project is to investigate which species are threatened and consider needs for action and strategies for conserving such species. Status report for Denmark, Norway and Sweden A short summary of the status reports from Denmark, Norway and Sweden is given below. The results from this year's work (2002) are not yet ready. This part only covers the abovementioned countries. 15 • Denmark During the summer, Denmark has collected Origanum, Hypericum, Thymus and Valeriana in order to establish collections. In Denmark there is a production of freeze-dried herbs and spices for the processing industry, e.g. Anethum graveolens, Petroselinum crispum var. crispum, Thymus sp., Ocimum basilicum and Satureja montana. There is also an increased production of small pot-plants as a fresh supply of spices and herbs. The most common are Petroselinum crispum var. crispum, Anethum graveolens, Ocimum basilicum, Thymus sp., Origanum vulgare, Melissa officinalis, Artemisia dracunculus, Rosmarinus officinalis and Mentha sp. 15 For Finland, see detailed report by B. Galambosi, following paper.
90 WORKING GROUP ON MEDICINAL AND AROMATIC PLANTS: FIRST MEETING • Norway A collection of Origanum vulgare has been started at the Norwegian Crop Research Institute. Norway will also work further on the recently established Rhodiola collection, which consists of 90 clones. In 2000 material from Chrysanthemum vulgare from 40 different places in Norway was collected as well as 10 clones of Mentha x piperita. • Sweden The production of medicinal and aromatic plants is quite small in Sweden but it has increased during recent years. In 2000, the production of herbs grown in the field covered an area of 236 ha (154 ha of Anethum graveolens, 43 ha of Petroselinum crispum, 18 ha of Amoracia rusticana and 21 ha of different other kinds of herbs) (Anonymous 2000). The greenhouse production of herbs more than doubled between 1999 and 2000, from 11 000 plants to 26 200 (Anonymous 2001). Within the SPIMED project, material from the following species was collected during the summer: Arnica sp., Helichrysum arenarium, Rhodiola rosea and Valeriana officinalis.
