Manuel Pinto de Morais Bacelar, 1st Viscount of Monte Alegre
Dom Manuel Pinto de Morais Bacelar 1st Count of Monte Alegre, was a Portuguese general.
He was the son of the auxiliary infantry field master of the Bragança garrison, Lazarus Pinto de Morais Bacelar, and a descendant of the former masters of the Bacelar Tower.
In 1756 he enlisted in the Cavalry Regiment of Chaves, and at the time of the War of 1762 raised at his expense a cavalry company, for which he obtained by decree of 19 June the rank of Captain.
With the regiment took he part in the military operations marching to the province of Minho, which was then threatened by the sides of Valencia, and later, at the proposal of Brigadier Smith.
who commanded the corps, proceeded to act interimly as Major.
Promoted to the effectiveness of this post in July 1782, he rose to Lieutenant-Colonel in March 1789, and finally to Colonel in November 1796 with the command of the regiment in which he had always served.
In the failed enterprise that during the war of 1801 Field Marshal Gomes Freire de Andrade undertook with the troops of the command of Lieutenant-General D. Manuel José Lobo against Monte Rei he covered Manuel Pinto Bacelar with great bravery and arranged the withdrawal of our troops contributing powerfully to save the forces engaged in that commission, and to maintain the credit and honor of our weapons.
When the war was over, he was promoted to brigadier, always at the head of the regiment, until it was re-melted with the denomination of 6th Cavalry Regiment.
Although removed from active service, when in 1807 he planned to resist the French invasion, Brigadier Bacelar offered to obey the orders of Lieutenant General Sepúlveda, accepting the command of a planned line of defense of the northern provinces that the government had ordered.
However, all these preparations for the fight were ordered to be suspended, and Napoleon's troops were able to enter Portugal without finding anyone to take their step.
Returning to the house of Vilar de Ossos there, he was retired until, summoned by the patriotic voice of Sepulveda in June 1808, he was appointed acting interim commander of the Douro district troops, an appointment confirmed by the government board established in Porto.
.
In the performance of these duties he patented all the skill and energy he was endowed with, actively taking care of reorganizing the provincial troops, especially the cavalry, until, when the revolution against the French was broken in Viseu, he was the Brigadier in charge of the interim government.
Beira province's weapons for the need to put in this post, according to the ordinance that appointed him, a trusted general officer.
Having determined the total reorganization of the army on July 22, and were then ordered to constitute an operations corps in Extremadura, another of observations in Beira and Trás-os-Montes, and also a reserve in Coimbra, Bacelar was given the command of the second with the which marched from the vicinity of the Guard towards Castelo Branco regulating its movements by those of the operations army (that obeyed Bernardim Freire de Andrade) in combination with those of the English army of Wellesley.
Continuing the march, he made important raids on the enemy at Constância and Santarém, and then went to Santo António do Tojal to join the army of operations stationed at Mafra.
After being summoned to Lisbon with the other generals to report to the government, he was promoted to field marshal, and shortly thereafter sent to Porto to assist General Bernardim Freire in the important commissions he was assigned.
At the end of 1808 he was mandated to take command of the observation body for the provinces of Beira and Trás-os-Montes, with which he marched to the city of Guarda and went to occupy the positions between that city and that of Castelo Branco, from where he succeeded.
to circumvent the attempts of French general Lapisse, who sought to enter Beira Baixa, while Soult invaded Portugal from the north.
In the operations of Wellington to recover the city of Porto, Bacelar was in charge of several movements in the right of the Anglo-Portuguese army, and having, according to the instructions he had received, passed the Douro in Régua, directed himself over Mesão Frio, and was sent from there.
march to Chaves, through the Serra do Marão by Mondim de Basto and Pernalves.
After the French were expelled, General Bacelar returned to his command of Beira, and having been promoted to lieutenant general, in Viseu he remained until, in June 1810, being given the superior command of the corps of the Militias of the three northern provinces and Porto party, went to establish their headquarters in Lamego.
In this situation he carefully took care of organizing the auxiliary troops of the provincial army, and when Massena invaded the Portuguese territory, Bacelar long kept the northern provinces of the kingdom free from enemies, and then operating against Drouet over the Alva and Claperéde, which had occupied Lamego, finally succeeded, when the imperial troops withdrew, to limit their left flank to Mondego and to preserve the peoples on the right bank of that river from the horrors and catastrophes that accompanied the passing of the French soldiers.
The services he then performed and our general received a letter of praise from Marshal Wellington, which was published in the Order of the Day, and later the title of Viscount Monte Alegre, which the sovereign gave him on December 17.
In the following year, he took part in military operations, when Marmont and Brenier devastated some of our lands near the border, and thereafter continued quietly in charge of him until he died in Viseu.
Bacelar married on the 16 July 1776 to D. Joana Delfina Vanzeler Teixeira de Andrade Pinto, daughter of Pedro Francisco Vanzeler, colonel of dragons and governor of S. Noutel Fort in Chaves, and his wife, D. Maria Josefa Barbosa Silva Silva Teixeira Andrade Pinto.

Schoenus ligulatus
Schoenus ligulatus is a species of sedge endemic to the western regions of the Western Cape Province of South Africa.
The key diagnostic character of "S. ligulatus" are its linear-lanceolate spikelets and narrow elliptic nutlets.
"Schoenus exilis" resembles "S. ligulatus", but the former is a shorter species (<350 mm) compared to the taller "S. ligulatus" (>350 mm).
In addition, the spikelets of "S. exilis" are shorter (mostly <4.5 mm) compared to those of "S. ligulatus".
Another key difference between the two species is that "S. exilis" often has membranaceous ligules, whereas the ligules of "S. ligulatus" tend to be firmer.
"Schoenus quartziticus" is also a similar species; however, it has broad elliptic nutlets and shorter spikelets (<4.0 mm) compared to those of "S. ligulatus".
Similar to other sedges, plants in this group are very difficult to identify.
It appears that part of this problem is caused by the tendency of the southern African "Schoenus" to form hybrids with each other.
It appears that "Schoenus ligulatus" forms hybrids with other southern African "Schoenus" species, specifically "Schoenus cuspidatus".
"Schoenus ligulatus" is a species in family Cyperaceae, tribe Schoeneae.
Other notable genera in tribe Schoeneae include "Lepidosperma", "Oreobolus", "Costularia", "Tetraria" and "Gahnia".
The most closely-related species to "S. ligulatus" are other southern African "Schoenus" species, specifically, species in the "S. cuspidatus" and allies group.
Southern African "Schoenus" were once classified as "Tetraria"; however, based on molecular and morphological differences, we now know that the two groups are evolutionary distinct.
To ensure that this group of sedges is monophyletic (i.e.
the genus only has closely-related species), the southern African "Tetraria" were transferred into "Schoenus".
In the field, the southern African "Schoenus" can be distinguished from "Tetraria" species by their lack of stem leaves and the absence of reticulate sheaths at the bases of the flowering stems.
"Schoenus ligulatus" is a species of sedge found in the western areas of the Western Cape Province of South Africa.
This species generally occurs in wet habitats, but it can also be found growing on drier sites.
