Mihail Sadoveanu, nr. 3, 700490–Iaşi, Romania Corresponding author: [email protected] This second part of the paper about the vascular flora of Rarău Massif listed approximately half of the whole number of the species registered by the authors in their field trips or already included in literature on the same area. Other taxa have been added to the initial list of plants, so that, the total number of taxa registered by the authors in Rarău Massif amount to 1443 taxa (1133 species and 310 subspecies, varieties and forms). There was signaled out the alien taxa on the surveyed area (18 species) and those dubious presence of some taxa for the same area (17 species). Also, there were listed all the vascular plants, protected by various laws or regulations, both internal or international, existing in Rarău (i.e. 189 taxa). Finally, there has been assessed the degree of wild flora conservation, using several indicators introduced in literature by Nowak, as they are: conservation indicator (C), threat conservation indicator) (CK), sozophytisation indicator (W), and conservation effectiveness indicator (E). Key words: Vascular flora, Rarău Massif, Romania, conservation indicators. 1. INTRODUCTION A comprehensive analysis of Rarău flora, in terms of plant diversity, taxonomic structure, biological, ecological and phytogeographic characteristics, as well as in terms of the richness in endemics, relict or threatened plant species was published in our previous note (see Oprea & Sîrbu 2012). -

The Disintegration of the Scrophulariaceae and the Biological Control of Buddleja Davidii
The disintegration of the Scrophulariaceae and the biological control of Buddleja davidii M.K. Kay,1 B. Gresham,1 R.L. Hill2 and X. Zhang3 Summary The woody shrub buddleia, Buddleja davidii Franchet, is an escalating weed problem for a number of resource managers in temperate regions. The plant’s taxonomic isolation within the Buddlejaceae was seen as beneficial for its biological control in both Europe and New Zealand. However, the re- cent revision of the Scrophulariaceae has returned Buddleja L. to the Scrophulariaceae sensu stricto. Although this proved of little consequence to the New Zealand situation, it may well compromise Eu- ropean biocontrol considerations. Host-specificity tests concluded that the biocontrol agent, Cleopus japonicus Wingelmüller (Coleoptera, Curculionidae), was safe to release in New Zealand. This leaf- feeding weevil proved capable of utilising a few non-target plants within the same clade as Buddleja but exhibited increased mortality and development times. The recent release of the weevil in New Zealand offers an opportunity to safely assess the risk of this agent to European species belonging to the Scrophulariaceae.

An Illustrated Key to the Alberta Figworts & Allies
AN ILLUSTRATED KEY TO THE ALBERTA FIGWORTS & ALLIES OROBANCHACEAE PHRYMACEAE PLANTAGINACEAE SCROPHULARIACEAE Compiled and writen by Lorna Allen & Linda Kershaw April 2019 © Linda J. Kershaw & Lorna Allen Key to Figwort and Allies Families In the past few years, the families Orobanchaceae, Plantaginaceae and Scrophulariaceae have under- gone some major revision and reorganization. Most of the species in the Scrophulariaceae in the Flora of Alberta (1983) are now in the Orobanchaceae and Plantaginaceae. For this reason, we’ve grouped the Orobanchaceae, Plantaginaceae, Phrymaceae and Scrophulariaceae together in this fle. In addition, species previously placed in the Callitrichaceae and Hippuridaceae families are now included in the Plantaginaceae family. 01a Plants aquatic, with many or all leaves submersed and limp when taken from the 1a water; leaves paired or in rings (whorled) on the stem, all or mostly linear (foating leaves sometimes spatula- to egg-shaped); fowers tiny (1-2 mm), single or clustered in leaf axils; petals and sepals absent or sepals fused in a cylinder around the ovary; stamens 0-1 . Plantaginaceae (in part) . - Callitriche, Hippuris 01b Plants emergent wetland species (with upper stems and leaves held above water) or upland species with self-supporting stems and leaves; leaves not as above; fowers larger, single or in clusters; petals and sepals present; stamens 2-4 (Hippuris sometimes emergent, but leaves/ fowers distinctive) . .02 2a 02a Plants without green leaves . Orobanchaceae (in part) . - Aphyllon [Orobanche], Boschniakia 02b Plants with green leaves . 03 03a Leaves all basal (sometimes small, unstalked stem leaves present), undivided (simple), with edges ± smooth or blunt-toothed; fowers small (2-5 mm wide), corollas radially symmetrical, sometimes absent. -
A New Species of Scrophularia (Scrophulariaceae) from Northeastern Mexico
Mayfield, M.H. and G.L. Nesom. 2012. A new species of Scrophularia (Scrophulariaceae) from northeastern Mexico. Phytoneuron 2012-25: 1–6. Published 14 March 2012. ISSN 2153 733X A NEW SPECIES OF SCROPHULARIA (SCROPHULARIACEAE) FROM NORTHEASTERN MEXICO MARK H. MAYFIELD Herbarium and Division of Biology Kansas State University Manhattan, Kansas 66506-4901 GUY L. NESOM 2925 Hartwood Drive Fort Worth, Texas 76109 ABSTRACT A new species from the mountains of northeastern Mexico is described and illustrated: Scrophularia mexicana Mayfield & Nesom. The new species is compared to the more widely distributed S. marilandica from the eastern USA, from which it is geographically separated by more than 700 kilometers. Scrophularia L. in North America is represented by 11 native and at least one introduced species, as currently considered (e.g., Hitchcock & Cronquist 1973; Martin & Hutchins 1981; Gleason & Cronquist 1991; Wetherwax 1993; Kartesz 1999; Kersh 2012). Scrophularia marilandica L. is the only species restricted to the eastern USA. and adjacent Canada (west to northeastern Texas and Oklahoma). Scrophularia lanceolata Pursh also occurs in the eastern USA but is distributed sporadically from coast to coast in the northern half of the USA and southern Canada. The remaining North American species occur from the southern Rocky Mountains to California, Washington, and British Columbia. Among the native North American species, S. californica Cham. & Schlect. and S. villosa Pennell are the only ones known to occur naturally in Mexico, each represented there by southward range extensions. Here we describe a new species known only from a single population in the mountains of Nuevo León, about 30 kilometers (air) northwest of Victoria, Tamaulipas. -
Research on Spontaneous and Subspontaneous Flora of Botanical Garden "Vasile Fati" Jibou
Volume 19(2), 176- 189, 2015 JOURNAL of Horticulture, Forestry and Biotechnology www.journal-hfb.usab-tm.ro Research on spontaneous and subspontaneous flora of Botanical Garden "Vasile Fati" Jibou Szatmari P-M*.1,, Căprar M. 1 1) Biological Research Center, Botanical Garden “Vasile Fati” Jibou, Wesselényi Miklós Street, No. 16, 455200 Jibou, Romania; *Corresponding author. Email: [email protected] Abstract The research presented in this paper had the purpose of Key words inventory and knowledge of spontaneous and subspontaneous plant species of Botanical Garden "Vasile Fati" Jibou, Salaj, Romania. Following systematic Jibou Botanical Garden, investigations undertaken in the botanical garden a large number of spontaneous flora, spontaneous taxons were found from the Romanian flora (650 species of adventive and vascular plants and 20 species of moss). Also were inventoried 38 species of subspontaneous plants, adventive plants, permanently established in Romania and 176 vascular plant floristic analysis, Romania species that have migrated from culture and multiply by themselves throughout the garden. In the garden greenhouses were found 183 subspontaneous species and weeds, both from the Romanian flora as well as tropical plants introduced by accident. Thus the total number of wild species rises to 1055, a large number compared to the occupied area. Some rare spontaneous plants and endemic to the Romanian flora (Galium abaujense, Cephalaria radiata, Crocus banaticus) were found. Cultivated species that once migrated from culture, accommodated to environmental conditions and conquered new territories; standing out is the Cyrtomium falcatum fern, once escaped from the greenhouses it continues to develop on their outer walls. Jibou Botanical Garden is the second largest exotic species can adapt and breed further without any botanical garden in Romania, after "Anastasie Fătu" care [11]. -
Compounds of Benzoic Acid in Hemiparasitic Scrophulariaceae 453
452-455. Ada Bot. Neerl. 22(4), August 1973, p. Compounds of benzoic acid in hemiparasitic Schophulariaceae C.H. Klaren Biologisch Centrum, Afd. Plantenfysiologie, Universiteit Groningen, Haren (Gr.) SUMMARY It is demonstrated that ethanolic extracts from a number of hemiparasitic Scrophulariaceae species contain a compound with an absorption maximum at 230 nm, which is absent in non- parasitic members of the family. The peak at 230 nm could be attributed to benzoic acid. It occurs in Rhinanthus serotinus ester and in free form, as an with aucubin, bound to an unknown compound. INTRODUCTION In the course of a study on the interactions between host and parasite (Hofstra & Klaren 1973) it was found that the absorption spectrum of ethanolic extracts from dried material of the hemiparasite Rhinanthus serotinus (Scrophulariaceae) shows a conspicuous peak at 230 nm which was not found in extracts from several host plant species. The absorption maximum at 230 nm was also found in ethanolic extracts from other hemiparasitic Scrophulariaceae, viz. Rhinanthusminor, Melampyrum Odontites Parentucellia and pratense, Melampyrum arvense, verna, viscosa, Bellardia trixago. In the extract from Pedicularispalustris an absorption maxi- is found at 240 at these mum nm. In Euphrasia spec., however, a peak wave- lengths could not be detected. Extracts from the non-parasitic Scrophulariaceae: Scrophularia nodosa, Penstemon spec., Antirrhinummajus, Linaria vulgaris, Digitalis purpurea, Mimu- lus luteusand Veronica chamaedrys did not show a maximum in this range of the ultraviolet spectrum {fig. I). 2. EXPERIMENTS AND RESULTS 2.1. To investigate if the absorption peak at 230 nm bears any relation to aucubin or other iridoid glucosides, which frequently occur in Scrophulariaceae (Kooiman 1970), aucubin from Rhinanthus serotinus leaves was partly purified according to Trim & Hill (1952) by adsorption on activated charcoal from an aqueous extract and subsequent elution with ethanol. -
(I) Has Recognized Scrophulariaceae
The occurrence of iridoid glycosides in the Scrophulariaceae P. Kooiman Laboratorium voor Algemene en Technische Biologie, Technische Hogeschool, Delft. SUMMARY A study was made of the occurrence of iridoid glycosides (giving a colour reaction with anisi- dine) in the Scrophulariaceae. Aucuboside, catalpol and antirrhinoside were found in many species: in addition some hitherto unknown, presumably iridoid glycosides were found. to Most tribes were homogeneous as the types of glycosides present, while the subfamilies were not. On the basis of the prevailing glycosides the family can be segregated into the following groups: 1. taxa devoid of glycosides (most Gralioleae, the Calceolarieae, most Digitaleae,Sphenandra, Sutera p.p., and Nemesia). 2. taxa containing aucuboside and (or) catalpol ( Verbasceae, Scrophularieae, Collinsieae Hemiphragmeae, Buchnereae, Veroniceae, Rhinantheae, Sutera p.p., Limosella, Mazus, Zaluzianskya, Angelonia, Diascia, Erinus, and Rehmannia). 3. taxa containing antirrhinoside (Antirrhineae ). 4. the Selaginoideaewith unidentified glysosides.

INTRODUCTION Aucuboside (I) has been recognized as a constituent of a fair number of Scrophulariaceae (see e.g. Braecke 1923; Paris & Chaslot 1955). Other in this iridoid glycosides known to occur family are catalpol (II) (Wieffering 1966), antirrhinoside (III) (Scarpati et al. 1968) and derivatives of harpagide (IV) (Kitagawa -
