Spencer [ed.]. pp. 919-929 (2000) The Potential Role of Bruchophagus acaciae (Cameron) (Hymenoptera: Eurytomidae) in the Integrated Control of Acacia Species in South Africa R. L. HILL1, A. J. GORDON2, and S. NESER3 1Richard Hill & Associates, Private Bag 4704, Christchurch, New Zealand 2Plant Protection Research Institute, Private Bag X5017, Stellenbosch, 7599 South Africa 3Plant Protection Research Institute, Private Bag X134, Pretoria, 0001 South Africa Abstract Australian acacias invade watersheds and riverbeds in South Africa, reducing water flows and threatening environmental and economic values. Acacia mearnsii is the most widespread and important weed but also forms the basis of an important industry. A. dealbata, and to a lesser extent A. decurrens are also problems. All belong to the Section Botrycephalae of the sub-genus Heterophyllum. Short term control is achieved locally by removing plants, and by using herbicides, but seed-feeding control agents may provide an acceptable solution in the long term. Larvae of Bruchophagus acaciae (Cameron) (Hymenoptera: Eurytomidae) develop in the seeds of acacias. It was described from New Zealand, but is an Australian species. We explore whether B. acaciae has a role as a con- trol agent for acacias in South Africa. Seed was collected from 28 Australian species of Acacia growing in New Zealand. Attack was restricted to four of the seven species with- in the Section Botrycephalae, and two cases of attack on Acacia rubida (Section Phyllodineae; n=9). Apart from a wasp reared from one seed, A.

  • The Condensed Tannins of Okoume (Aucoumea Klaineana Pierre)
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN The condensed tannins of Okoume (Aucoumea klaineana Pierre): A molecular structure and thermal stability study Starlin Péguy Engozogho Anris 1,2*, Arsène Bikoro Bi Athomo1,2, Rodrigue Safou Tchiama2,3, Francisco José Santiago-Medina4, Thomas Cabaret1, Antonio Pizzi4 & Bertrand Charrier1 In order to promote convenient strategies for the valorization of Aucoumea klaineana Pierre (Okoume) plywood and sawmill wastes industry in the felds of adhesives and composites, the total phenolic content of Okoume bark, sapwood and heartwood was measured. The molecular structure of tannins extracted from the bark was determined by Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Time-Of-Flight (Maldi-ToF) mass spectrometry and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The total phenolic content displayed signifcant diference (p = 0.001) between the bark, sapwood and heartwood which decreased as follows: 6 ± 0.4, 2 ± 0.8 and 0.7 ± 0.1% respectively. The pro-anthocyanidins content was also signifcantly diferent (p = 0.01) among the three wood wastes, and the bark was the richest in condensed tannins (4.2 ± 0.4%) compared to the sapwood (0.5 ± 0.1%) and heartwood (0.2 ± 0.2%). Liquid chromatography coupled mass spectroscopy (LC-MS) and Maldi-ToF analysis of the bark showed for the frst time that Okoume condensed tannins are fsetinidin, gallocatechin and trihydroxyfavan based monomers and complex polymers obtained with glycosylated units. No free catechin or robitinidin units were detected, whereas distinctive dihydroxy or trihydroxyfavan-3-benzoate dimers were observed in the investigated condensed tannin extracts. FTIR analysis showed the occurrence of glucan- and mannan-like sugars in the condensed tannins, and Maldi-ToF highlighted that these sugars should account for ten glycosylated units chemically bonded with two fsetinidins and one gallocatechin trimer.

(Araceae), with P. ebo, a new, Critically Endangered species from Ebo, Cameroon. Martin Cheek¹, Barthelemy Tchiengue2, Xander van der Burgt¹ ¹Science, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Richmond, Surrey, U.K. 2 IRAD-Herbier National Camerounais, Yaoundé, BP 1601, Cameroon Corresponding author: Martin Cheek¹ Email address: [email protected] ABSTRACT This is the first revision in nearly 130 years of the African genus Pseudohydrosme, formerly considered endemic to Gabon. Sister to Anchomanes, Pseudohydrosme is distinct from Anchomanes because of its 2–3-locular ovary (not unilocular), peduncle concealed by cataphylls at anthesis and far shorter than the spathe (not exposed, far exceeding the spathe), stipitate fruits and viviparous (vegetatively apomictic) roots (not sessile, roots non-viviparous). Three species, one new to science, are recognised, in two sections. Although doubt has previously been cast on the value of recognising Pseudohydrosme buettneri, of Gabon, it is here accepted and maintained as a distinct species in the monotypic section, Zyganthera. However, it is considered to be probably globally extinct. Pseudohydrosme gabunensis, type species of the genus, also Gabonese, is maintained in Sect. Pseudohydrosme together with Pseudohydrosme ebo sp.nov. of the Ebo Forest, Littoral, Cameroon, the first addition to the genus since the nineteenth century, and which extends the range of the genus 450 km north from Gabon, into the Cross-Sanaga biogeographic area.

Tel: +251910140961; Email: [email protected] Abstract Korarima in a Kaffa zone could be explained as the most popular spice as it’s widely production and prolonged socio-economic importance. Relevant information on production and marketing of korarima is needed for improving productivity and design of effective policy. This study was conducted with specific objectives: to assess status of korarima production, to identify factors affecting market supply of korarima and to identify constraints in production and marketing of korarima in Kaffa zone, Southern Ethiopia. The study was based on the data collected from 116sample households selected through multistage sampling technique. Descriptive statistics and econometric model were used to analyze the data. A multiple linear regression model was employed to assess the factors affecting of households’ market supply of korarima output. Major constraints in production and marketing of korarima in the zone includes disease, animal and pest damage, low yield due to climate change effect, low productivity of existing varieties, poor extension support, lack of improved korarima production practices, lack of well-designed output marketing center, and traditional harvesting and post-harvest handling techniques.

    VOLUME 37, NUMBER 1 91 Journal of the Lepidopterists' Society 37(1), 1983, 91 SPECIES OF EUCALYPTUS AS FOOD PLANTS FOR LEPIDOPTERA IN EAST AFRICA Dr. 1. F. B. Common's paper, "Some factors responsible for imbalances in the Aus­ tralian fauna of Lepidoptera" (1981, J. Lepid. Soc. 34:286-294), and his remarks on the role of Eucalyptus as a lepidopterous food plant suggest that a list of the Lepidoptera feeding on the introduced Eucalyptus spp. in East Africa might be of interest. Various species of Eucalyptus are grown in many parts of East Africa, primarily as sources of firewood but also as useful agents in the reclamation of swampy land. E. citriodora is grown as a plantation crop in Zaire and elsewhere for its oil, used in the perfumery trade. The following is a list of species recorded as feeding on species of Eucalyptus: Lymantriidae-Euproctis molunduana Auriv., Dasychira georgiana Fawcett, D. basa­ lis Wlk., Argyrostagma niobe Weymer; Lasiocampidae---Lechriolepis nigrivenis Strand, Bombycopsis bipars Wlk., Nadiasa cuneata Distant, Pachypasa subfascia Wlk., P. pa­ pyri Tams, Eucraera salambo Vuillot; Saturniidae-Bunaea alcinoe Stoll, Nudaurelia conradsi Rebel, N. cytherea F., N. dione F., N. krucki Hering, N. gueinzii Karsch, Lobobunaea phaedusa Drury, Urota sinope Westwood, Athletes ethra Westwood; No­ todontidae-Desmeocraera varia Janse; Limacodidae-Latoia chapmanni Kirby; Psychidae-Eumeta rougeoti Bourgogne, Kotochalia junodi Hylaerts; Noctuidae­ Euxoa longidentifera Hampson, Spodoptera littoralis Bdv., Heliothis armigera (Hbn.), Anua mejanesi Gn., A. tirhaca Cramer, Achaea lienardi Bdv., A. catella Gn., A. faber Holland, PI usia limbirena Gn.; Geometridae-Orthonama obstipata F., Colocleom divisaria Wlk., Ascotis selenaria Schiff., A.

Abstract – Korarima (Aframomum corrorima), is a tropical Stigma of the flower in the plant is positioned below or perennial, shade loving and aromatic herb native to Ethiopia. against the base of the thecae of the anther [4]. It is categorized under family Zingiberaceae and the genus Korarima (A. corrorima) is a native crop to Ethiopia and Aframomum. The agro-ecology of korarima (A. corrorima) is is well known for it’s a very widespread utilization in characterized by humid or moist forests, slightly shaded, Ethiopian and Eritrean cuisines [5]. It is also the plant that wetter and open places in forests at 1350-2000 m altitude. This study was made on the socio-economic and environmental has been used as spices, medicine, an income source and values of korarima (A. corrorima). The paper aimed to provide means of soil conservation traditionally [2]. The growing details on korarima since there is a growing demand in the and cultivation of the plant is mainly practiced in the forests socio-economic and environmental aspects in Ethiopia, the of south and south western parts of the Ethiopia such as spice deserved less research and management attention and Gamo Gofa, Debub Omo, Kaffa, Ilubabor, Sidamo and studying the socio-economic and ecological function of A.
