From the Editor ’m often led to consider just who our readers are because I receive such a wide array of articles for Wildland Weeds magazine. While most editors assume a consistency in the knowledge level of their readers, I think the variety of content in Wildland IWeeds helps to illustrate how much diversity there is in the folks who fight against invasive weeds in natural areas. This issue features a herbicide treatment method for controlling Chinese privet in Alabama, a newly established invasive vine in North Carolina, and a recently discovered non-native aquatic plant spreading at an alarming rate in Florida. We also include an economic evaluation of invasive weeds in Florida state parks, and a volunteer education and outreach effort from one of those parks. Several state chapters of SE-EPPC have provided updates on their activities and several conferences are in the planning phase for 2011, including another national meeting in Washington, DC. In addition to the varied geographic coverage, this issue demonstrates diverse areas of expertise: economics, new floristic records, hard-core botany, exotic pest plant management, non-profit group efforts and university extension. While we seek cohesion and embrace teamwork, we fight invasives because we believe in diversity, and that is what Wildland Weeds is all about. — Karen Brown SAVE THE DATE: 2ND ANNUAL February 28 - March 4, 2011 Washington, DC A week of activities, briefings, events, and workshops to highlight the economic, environmental, and social threats of invasive species. What have we achieved and what more do we need to do to protect our nation’s ecosystems and economy from invasive species? Planned events include: • State Invasive Species Council and Regional Coordination Workshop • National Press Club Announcement of National Invasive Species Agenda • Briefings on regional invasive species issues (Great Lakes, Southeast, West, Northeast) • Reception and educational program at the United States Botanical Garden • Reception and educational program at the National Aquarium • MORE TO COME!

  • The Relation Between Road Crack Vegetation and Plant Biodiversity in Urban Landscape
    Int. J. of GEOMATE, June, 2014, Vol. 6, No. 2 (Sl. No. 12), pp. 885-891 Geotech., Const. Mat. & Env., ISSN:2186-2982(P), 2186-2990(O), Japan THE RELATION BETWEEN ROAD CRACK VEGETATION AND PLANT BIODIVERSITY IN URBAN LANDSCAPE Taizo Uchida1, JunHuan Xue1,2, Daisuke Hayasaka3, Teruo Arase4, William T. Haller5 and Lyn A. Gettys5 1Faculty of Engineering, Kyushu Sangyo University, Japan; 2Suzhou Polytechnic Institute of Agriculture, China; 3Faculty of Agriculture, Kinki University, Japan; 4Faculty of Agriculture, Shinshu University, Japan; 5Center for Aquatic and Invasive Plants, University of Florida, USA ABSTRACT: The objective of this study is to collect basic information on vegetation in road crack, especially in curbside crack of road, for evaluating plant biodiversity in urban landscape. A curbside crack in this study was defined as a linear space (under 20 mm in width) between the asphalt pavement and curbstone. The species composition of plants invading curbside cracks was surveyed in 38 plots along the serial National Route, over a total length of 36.5 km, in Fukuoka City in southern Japan. In total, 113 species including native plants (83 species, 73.5%), perennial herbs (57 species, 50.4%) and woody plants (13 species, 11.5%) were recorded in curbside cracks. Buried seeds were also obtained from soil in curbside cracks, which means the cracks would possess a potential as seed bank. Incidentally, no significant differences were found in the vegetation characteristics of curbside cracks among land-use types (Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test, P > 0.05). From these results, curbside cracks would be likely to play an important role in offering habitat for plants in urban area.

  • A Comprehensive Review on Phyllanthus Derived Natural Products As Potential Chemotherapeutic and Immunomodulators for a Wide Range of T Human Diseases
    Biocatalysis and Agricultural Biotechnology 17 (2019) 529–537 Contents lists available at ScienceDirect Biocatalysis and Agricultural Biotechnology journal homepage: www.elsevier.com/locate/bab A comprehensive review on Phyllanthus derived natural products as potential chemotherapeutic and immunomodulators for a wide range of T human diseases Mohamed Ali Seyed Department of Clinical Biochemistry, Faculty of Medicine, University of Tabuk, Tabuk 71491, Saudi Arabia ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Keywords: Treatment options for most cancers are still insufficient, despite developments and technology advancements. It Cancer has been postulated that the immune response to progressive tumors is insufficient due to a deficiency in afferent Phyllanthus amarus/niruri mechanisms responsible for the development of tumor-reactive T cells. Many patients treated for cancer will Phyllanthin have their cancer recurrence, often after a long remission period. This suggests that there are a small number of Hypophyllanthin tumor cells that remain alive after standard treatment(s) – alone or in combination and have been less effective Chemotherapeutic in combating metastasis that represents the most elaborate hurdle to overcome in the cure of the disease. Immunomodulation Therefore, any new effective and safe therapeutic agents will be highly demanded. To circumvent many plant extracts have attributed for their chemoprotective potentials and their influence on the human immune system. It is now well recognized that immunomodulation of immune response could provide an alternative or addition to conventional chemotherapy for a variety of disease conditions. However, many hurdles still exist. In recent years, there has been a tremendous interest either in harnessing the immune system or towards plant-derived immunomodulators as anticancer agents for their efficacy, safety and their targeted drug action and drug de- livery mechanisms.

  • A Weed Born Pregnant
    Follow us on… By Les Harrison UF IFAS/Wakulla County Extension Director http://wakulla.ifas.ufl.edu/ A Weed Born Pregnant With the onset of warm weather, the cool season plants are dying back or are already gone. Homeowners are now getting a look at what is growing in the yard during the summer of 2012, and an exotic invader is likely one of the inhabitants. Chamberbitter: It has the justified reputation of producing viable seeds ready to infest new territory from almost the moment it pops up from the soil. More than one frustrated landowner has been convinced the reviled exotic is born pregnant. Phyllanthus urinaria, Chamberbitter’s scientific name, is a native of tropical southeast Asia, but has adapted well life in the United States. The USDA’s Plant Profile site indicates this pest has spread as far north as Illinois and Virginia, and west to Texas, and it is in Wakulla County, too. All the southeastern states report significant plant populations. Initially it was considered an ornamental horticulture issue, but has become a real irritant for pasture managers. Chamberibtter requires warm soil to germinate and prefers damp conditions. Once the plant is established, its highly efficient root system will handle drought conditions. It grows well in full sun, but will also flourish in spots receiving sun for limited hours daily. Early detection is critical to control. The plants are in their most vulnerable condition with tender leaves and immature root systems, and (hopefully) the population is still small. Unfortunately, to the casual observer this annual blends effortlessly into the green background of warm season foliage.

  • Outline of the Neotropical Infrageneric Taxa of Phyllanthus (Euphorbiaceae)
    Outline of the neotropical infrageneric taxa of Phyllanthus (Euphorbiaceae) Grady L. Webster Section of Plant Biology, University of California, Davis, California, 95616, U.S.A. ABSTRACT. The 220 described neotropical species of Phyllanthus (Euphorbiaceae) are arranged in 33 sections belonging to 8 subgenera. Descriptions are given for one new subgenus, Cyclanthera, and five new sections – Antipodanthus, Salviniopsis, Pityrocladus, Hylaeanthus, and Sellowianthus. Three new subsections are described: sect. Phyllanthus subsect. Almadenses, sect. Phyllanthus subsect. Clausseniani; and sect. Choretropsis subsect. Choretropsis. Keys to species, and enumerations of them, are provided for new or revised sections and subsections. The 800-odd species of Phyllanthus, one of the larger genera of Euphorbiaceae, have recently been tabulated by Govaerts et al. (2000), but the subgenera and sections are not indicated. The first comprehensive arrangements of sections in Phyllanthus were published by Baillon (1858) and by Grisebach (1859). Jean Müller (1863, 1866, 1873) presented a much more sophisticated system involving sections and subsections; his arrangment was followed, almost unaltered, by Pax and Hoffmann (1931). Since then, the infrageneric taxa have been summarized by Webster (1956-58; 1967a) and by Webster and Airy Shaw 1971; for taxa in Australasia). Pollen characters have proved to be very important indicators of relationship (Webster, 1956, 1988; Punt, 1967, 1987). The outline proposed here reflects changes due to ongoing revision of the neotropical species of Phyllanthus (Webster, 1967b, 1968, 1970, 1978, 1984, 1988, 1991, 1999, 2001; and ined.). In addition to a key to the subgenera and sections, the 9 subgenera and their constituent sections are enumerated. Species are enumerated for most sections except for the West Indian taxa previously treated (Webster, 1956, 1957, 1958, 1991).

Received December 14, 2017; Accepted May 20, 2018; Epub July 15, 2018; Published July 30, 2018 Abstract: Phyllanthus urinaria is an herb species in the family Euphorbiaceae. P. urinaria, which grows mainly in tropical regions such as India, Sri Lanka, Indochina, Japan, Malaysia, Indonesia and the United States, has long been used in traditional oriental medicine for the treatment of liver damage, hepatitis, jaundice, renal disorders, en- teritis, diarrhea, and dropsy. Experimentally, P. urinaria displays antiviral, anti-tumor, hepatoprotective, anti-diabetic, antioxidant, anti-hypertensive, anti-inflammatory, and anti-microbial effects. Phytochemical screening revealed the presence of flavonoids, carboxylic acids, tannins, coumarins, and lignans in P. urinaria extracts (PUE). Meanwhile, PUE possess various pharmacological and biological activities. This study summarizes the ethno-medical use, chemical constituents, and pharmacological profile ofP. urinaria. As a medicinal plant, this herb has emerged as a good source of traditional medicines. However, the composition-activity relationship for this plant deserves further research. Keywords: Phyllanthus urinaria, chemical constituents, antivirus, antitumor, liver protection Introduction Very recently, the anti-tumor [9], anti-inflamma- tory [10] and anti-microbial [11] activities of P. Phyllanthus urinaria L. (P. urinaria), commonly urinaria were reported. In addition, P. urinaria called chamber bitter, is an herb species in the extracts show antiviral activities against hepati- family Euphorbiaceae [1, 2].
