As estruturas dos dois novos compostos foram elucidadas por métodos espectroscópicos e difratometria de Raios X de monocristal usando o parâmetro Flack. Two new Lycopodium alkaloids, acetyllycoposerramine M and palcernine A were isolated from whole plant extracts of Palhinhaea cernua L. together with ten previously identified compounds. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated by spectroscopic methods and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses using the Flack parameter.

Its molecular formula (C17H24NO3) Vol. 23, No. 2, 2012 Zhao et al. 351 located at C-6, and two ketone groups were located at C-5 and C-13, respectively. After analysis of the molecular formula of 2 the presence of a hydroxy functionality in 2 was confirmed, possibly being located at C-6. The relative configuration of partial chiral center of 2 could be elucidated, integrating ROESY (rotating-frame Overhauser effect spectroscopy) experiment and analysis on coupling constant.

H-14α and H-15 should be in cis configuration due to the coupling constant of JH-14α/H-15 4.0 Hz (Table 1). Therefore, the 16- Figure 3. ORTEP drawing of the asymmetric unit of compound 1.

Forehand, Ph.D., Dean of the Graduate College ABSTRACT Together with the heterosporous lycophytes, the clubmoss family (Lycopodiaceae) is the sister lineage to all other vascular land plants. Given the family’s important position in the land-plant phylogeny, studying the evolutionary history of this group is an important step towards a better understanding of plant evolution. Despite this, little is known about the Lycopodiaceae, and a well-sampled, robust phylogeny of the group is lacking.

Tago range are here documented in a checklist, along with information on their distribution and conservation status. The list is based on a comprehensive field survey conducted by the authors in 2018 and 2019 and comprises 203 species belonging to 29 families and 89 genera. Of these species, 187 are ferns and 16 are lycophytes. Eighty-six species are epiphytes, 85 are terrestrial, 12 are tree ferns, 6 are hemiepiphytes, and 14 species have more than one growth form. The number of species constitutes about 19% and 33% of the total number of pteridophyte species in the Philippines and Mindanao Island, respectively. The highest species richness was observed in the upper montane rainforest. Seventeen species are classified as broadly distributed Philippine endemics whereas four species are endemic to Mindanao. One species (Alsophila commutata Mett.) was newly documented for the Philippines and three species [Pteris whitfordii Copel., Selliguea elmeri (Copel.) Ching, and Selliguea pyrolifolia (Goldm.) Hovenkamp] were newly documented for Mindanao Island.

HUPERZIACEAE Rothmaler 1962 (FIRMOSS FAMILY) [in LYCOPODIALES] A family of 3 genera and ca. 300 species, mainly tropical and subtropical. Within the lycophytes, Huperzia and related genera (Phlegmariurus and Phylloglossum) form a clade with “an isolated position”, basal to the remainder of the family, and warrant family rank as Huperziaceae (Haines 2003a).

Identification Notes: Several hybrids are known from our area; they usually occur in intermediate habitats (such as in thin soil at the base of cliffs) and generally are found in proximity to both parents, but sometimes occur in the absence of one or both parents. Hybrids can be recognized by their intermediate morphology.

  • Huperzia Lucidula (Michaux) Trevisan, Shining Firmoss, Shining Clubmoss
    L1. LYCOPODIACEAE THE FLORA SECTION 1: LYCOPODIOPHYTA (CLUBMOSSES) L1. LYCOPODIACEAE Palisot de Beauvois 1802 (Clubmoss Family) [in LYCOPODIALES] A family of 10-15 genera and about 400 species. Lycopodiaceae, along with Selaginellaceae and Isoetaceae, have now been shown to be only distantly related to other extant pteridophytes and seed plants (Pryer et al. 2001). The division of North American Lycopodium into three or more genera has been strongly advocated by Wagner & Beitel (1992), Wagner & Beitel in FNA (1993), Haines (2003a), and nearly all other recent authors. The traditionally broad Lycopodium appears to include a number of natural groups which are strikingly different from one another and have constituted separate lineages for tens to hundreds of millions of years. These natural groups are separable by numerous morphological, developmental, and anatomical characters, karyotype, and inability to hybridize. Wagner & Beitel (1992) divide Lycopodium (sensu latissimo) of our area into six genera in three subfamilies, as follows: Huperzia in Subfamily Huperzioideae, Lycopodium and Diphasiastrum in Subfamily Lycopodioideae, and Lycopodiella, Palhinhaea, and Pseudolycopodiella in Subfamily Lycopodielloideae. Haines (2003a) further divides Lycopodium (sensu lato) into three genera: Dendrolycopodium, Spinulum, and Lycopodium (sensu stricto). The reasoning behind this division is very strong, and it is here followed. Profound differences in anatomy, morphology, reproduction, gametophyte morphology, and karyotype support this separation. The chromosome numbers of our genera: Dendrolycopodium (x=34), Diphasiastrum (x=23), Huperzia (x=67, 68), Lycopodiella (x=78), Lycopodium (x=34), Palhinhaea (x=55), Pseudolycopodiella (x=35), and Spinulum (x=34). Øllgaard in Kramer & Green (1990) and Wikström & Kenrick (2000) follow a somewhat broader coarse, recognizing three3 genera for our species (corresponding to the subfamilies of Wagner & Beitel 1992), and recognizing as sections the genera of Wagner & Beitel (1992).
