    A CONTRIBUTION TO THE EMBRYOLOGY OF SONNERATIACEAE. BY JILLELLA VENKATESWARLU. (From the Department of Botany, Benares Hi~,du U~iz,ersity, Benares.) Received April 14, 1937. (Communicated by iV[r. A. C. Joshi, M.sc.) SONNERATIACEm iS a small family of the Myrtifloreae. According to Engler and Prantl (1898, 1908), it includes four genera, Sonneratia, Duabanga, Xenodendron and Crypteronia, comprising about a dozen species. All these are found in the tropics, the monotypic genus Xenodendron being confin6d to New Guinea and the rest being mostly restricted to the Indo-Malayan region. Hutchinson (1926) in his recent system of classification has sepa- rated the genus Crypteronia into a separate family Crypteroniacem and the family Sonneratiaeem as defined by him includes only three genera. Bc:ntham a!~d I~ooker (1%2-67), on the other hand, include these genera in the family Lythracem, to which there is little doubt that these are very closely related. As the writer had been recently studying the embryology of the family Lythracem (Joshi and Venkateswarln, 1935 a, 1935 b, 1935 c, 1936), it was thought desirable to study the family Sonneratiacem also from the comparative point of view and to see how far its embryological features agree with those of the Lythracem. The previous work on this family is limited to an investigation on Sonneratia apetala Linn. by Karsten (1891). tIis observations, however, are very fragmentary and also partly erroneous as pointed out by me in preliminary notes (Venkateswarlu, 1936a, 1936b) relating to the plants described in the present paper. The present paper deals with the two chief genera of the family, namely, Duabanga and Sonneratia.

    Ada Bot. Neerl. 28 (2/3), May 1979, p.117-155. Wood anatomy of the Lythraceae P. Baas and R.C.V.J. Zweypfenning Rijksherbarium, Leiden, The Netherlands SUMMARY The wood anatomy of 18 genera belonging to the Lythraceae is described. The diversity in wood structure of extant Lythraceae is hypothesized to be derived from a prototype with scanty para- I tracheal parenchyma, heterogeneous uniseriate and multiseriate rays, (septate)libriform fibres with minutely bordered pits, and vessels with simple perforations. These characters still prevail in a number of has been limited in of Lythraceae. Specialization very most Lythraceae shrubby or herbaceous habit: these have juvenilistic rays composed mainly of erect rays and sometimes com- pletely lack axial parenchyma. Ray specialization towards predominantly uniseriate homogeneous concomitant with fibre abundant and with rays, dimorphism leading to parenchyma differentiation, the advent of chambered crystalliferous fibres has been traced in the “series” Ginoria , Pehria, Lawsonia , Physocalymma and Lagerstroemia. The latter genus has the most specialized wood anatomy in the family and has species with abundant parenchyma aswell as species with alternating fibres. with its bands of dimorphous septate Pemphis represents an independent specialization vasicentric parenchyma and thick-walled nonseptate fibres. The affinities of with other are discussed. Pun Psiloxylon, Lythraceae Myrtales ica, Rhynchocalyx , Oliniaceae,Alzatea, Sonneratiaceae, Onagraceae and Melastomataceae all resemble Lythraceae in former accommodated in the without their wood anatomy. The three genera could even be family its wood anatomical Alzatea and Sonneratia differ in minor details extending range.

Pigg and Melanie L. DeVore Abstract The Princeton chert is one of the most completely studied permineralized floras of the Paleogene. Remains of over 30 plant taxa have been described in detail, along with a diverse assemblage of fungi that document a variety of ecological interactions with plants. As a flora of the Okanagan Highlands, the Princeton chert plants are an assemblage of higher elevation taxa of the latest early to early middle Eocene, with some components similar to those in the relatedDraft compression floras. However, like the well known floras of Clarno, Appian Way, the London Clay, and Messel, the Princeton chert provides an additional dimension of internal structure.

(P. granatum L. and P. protopunica Balf.f.), and twelve closely related taxa of the order Myrtales based on sequence of the Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) and the 5.8S coding region of the nuclear ribosomal DNA. All the accessions of the Punica grouped into a distinct clade with strong support in Bayesian, Maximum Likelihood and Maximum Parsimony analyses. Trapaceae showed the most distant relationship with other members of Lythraceae s.l. Phylogenetic tree exclusively generated for 42 representative taxa of the family Lythraceae s.l., revealed similar clustering pattern of Trapaceae and Punicaceae in UPGMA and Bayesian trees. All analyses strongly supported the monophyly of the family Lythraceae s.l., nevertheless, the sister relation with family Onagraceae is weakly supported. The analyses of the ITS sequences of Punica in relation to the other taxa of the family Lythraceae s.l., revealed that the genus Punica is distinct under the family Lythraceae, however this could be further substantiated with comparative sequencing of other phylogenetically informative regions of chloroplast and nuclear DNA.

Shi (Sonneratiaceae), with its possible parent species. Based on its morphological characteristics and habitat conditions, this taxon is considered to represent a sterile hybrid between S. alba and S. apetala. In China, the new hybrid is only reported in the mangrove forest in Dongzhai Harbour, Hainan Island. It has intermediate characteristics with its parents by elliptical leaf blades, peltate stigma, terminal or axillary inflorescence with 1–3 flower dichasia, cup – shaped calyx (4–6 calyx lobes) and no petals. We also provide a key for the identification of Sonneratia species. Keywords Sonneratia, new hybrid, Dongzhai Harbour, Hainan Island Introduction Sonneratiaceae is a small tropical plant family consisting of only two small genera, Sonneratia and Duabanga.

We use morphology and DNA sequences from the rbcL gene, the trnL-F re- gion, and psaA-ycf3 intergenic spacer of the chloroplast and the internal transcribed spacer region of the nu- cleus to explore relationships for up to 27 genera of the Lythraceae sensu stricto and the monogeneric families Duabangaceae, Punicaceae, Sonneratiaceae, and Trapaceae. Maximum parsimony, maximum likelihood, and Bayesian likelihood approaches are employed. Morphology alone provided little phylogenetic resolution. Results from individual gene regions were relatively well resolved and largely congruent, whereas basal rela- tionships were poorly supported. A combined gene analysis of 20 genera produced one fully resolved max- imum parsimony tree that corresponded closely to the maximum likelihood and Bayesian trees in which a monophyletic Lythraceae includes Duabanga, Punica, Sonneratia, and Trapa as derived genera within the family. Decodon is sister to the rest of the family in the maximum parsimony and Bayesian trees, followed by Lythrum and Peplis at the node above and then by the rest of the family, which diverges into two superclades.

BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine (2016) 16:139 DOI 10.1186/s12906-016-1120-2 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Antiviral and virucidal activities of Duabanga grandiflora leaf extract against Pseudorabies virus in vitro Farhah Zaidar Abdul Malik1, Zeenathul Nazariah Allaudin1*, Hwei San Loh2,3, Ting Kang Nee4, Homayoun Hani1 and Rasedee Abdullah5 Abstract Background: Duabanga grandiflora or known in Malaysia as Berembang Bukit, Megawasih,orPedada Bukit, is a native plant of the Southeast Asian countries. In this study, the anti-viral properties of D. grandiflora were investigated. Methods: The D. grandiflora leaf extracts were obtained with ethyl acetate, hexane, and ethanol as solvents and labelled 37 leaf ethyl acetate (37 L EA), 37 leaf hexane (37 L H), 37 leaf ethanol (37 L ET), respectively. The cytotoxicity of the extracts on Vero cells were determined by the 3-(4,5-Diamethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-Diphenyltetrazolium Bromide (MTT) assay. Results: Among extracts, 37 L EA was most cytotoxic to Vero cells, followed by 37 L H and 37 L ET, with CC50 of 218, 833, and >1000 μg/mL, respectively. The cytopathic effect (CPE) and plaque reduction, inhibition, and virucidal assays and the selective index (SI) were employed to determine the effect of the extracts on infectivity and replication of pseudorabies virus (PrV) in Vero cells. The D. grandiflora leaf extracts showed dose-dependent antiviral activities, with higher activities at high doses. The 37 L ET and 37 L EA showed anti-viral effects through plaque formation and viral replication inhibitions, and virucidal property. The SI of the 37 L ET and 37 L EA by the viral replication inhibition assay was 8.3 and 1.9, respectively, and by the CPE reduction assay, 6.7 and 2.9, respectively.

    BLUMEA 32 (1987) 277-302 A systematic revision of the Mangrove genus Sonneratia (Sonneratiaceae) in Australasia N.C. Duke & Betsy+R. Jackes Summary In Australia, New Guinea and the southwestern Pacific seven taxa are recognised in Sonneratia, of which three species are redescribed in view oftheir Indo-Malesian counterparts(S. alba, S. caseo- laris, S. ovata), one species is redescribed from its most likely Indo-Malesian equivalent (S. lanceo- from S. is described lata,being distinct caseolaris), onewidespread hybrid fully (S. x gulngai being of other the putative synonym S. alba x S. caseolaris), and two hybrids (S. alba x S. gulngai, S. of limited described sub-units of their closest alba x S. lanceolata) very occurrence are as ‘parental’ A and full well 2 distribution other forms. key, descriptions synonymy are given as as maps, 6 figures and one table. Taxonomic stauts and distribution Backer & Van Steenis (1951) compiled a thorough review of the Sonneratiaceae, a family of the order Myrtales. Two genera were described and include Duabanga, a small rainforest and Sonneratia. The latter made of five evergreen genus, was up tree species: S. alba, S. caseolaris, S. S. apetala and S. griffithii. mangrove ovata, , Their distributions were described as tropical and ranging through the Indo-West Pacific region. the and observations in However, account was not complete new were reported various appendices up to 1972. Some observations included those of additional char- acters, e.g., leaf mucronate tips or stamen colour; but most importantly there was the possibility of undescribed taxa. These includedputative hybrids discovered in NW.
