Adelaide Bot. Gard. 1(1) 55-59 (1976) A SUMMARY OF THE FAMILY LYTHRACEAE IN THE NORTHERN TERRITORY (WITH ADDITIONAL COMMENTS ON AUSTRALIAN MATERIAL) by A. S. Mitchell Arid Zone Research Institute, Animal Industry and Agriculture Branch, Department of the Northern Territory, Alice Springs, N.T. 5750. Abstract This paper presents a synopsis of the nomenclature of the family Lythraceae in the Northern Territory. Keysto the genera and species have been prepared. The family Lythraceae has been neglected in Australian systematics, andas a result both the taxonomy and nomenclature are confused. Not since the early work of Koehne (1881, 1903) has there been any major revision of the family. Recent work has been restricted to regional floras (Polatschek and Rechinger 1968; Chamberlain 1972; Dar 1975), with Bentham's Flora (1886) being the most recenton the family in Australia. From a survey of the available literature the author has attempted to extract all the relevant names applicable to Australian material and to present them solelyas a survey of the nomenclature of the group. No type material has beenseen, and the only material examined was that lodged in the Department of the Northern Territory Herbariaat Alice Springs (NT) and Darwin (DNA).

  • Crapemyrtle Scientific Name: Lagerstroemia Indica Order
    Common Name: Crapemyrtle Scientific Name: Lagerstroemia indica Order: Myrtales Family: Lythraceae Description Crapemyrtle is a popular deciduous ornamental plant chosen for its thin, delicate, crinkled petals, which bloom quite largely in pinnacles and come in shades of white, purple, lilac, pink, and (true) red. The bark of this favorable woody plant has a smooth texture, and is the base of beautiful thick foliage composed of leaf blades measuring from 2-4 inches in length in opposite arrangement and pinnate venation. They are oval shaped and green during the summer and change to orange, red, and yellow in fall months. Crapemyrtle produces a small fruit, less than .5 inches, which is hard, tan/brown, and round in shape. Growth Habit Crapemyrtles can be used as a shrub or a small tree. They can come in a variety of sizes from 18 inches to around 30 feet. Hardiness Zone(s) Crapemyrtle can grow in the USDA zones 7 through 9. It is native to southern China, Japan, and Korea, but has been introduced mainly to the southern United States. They need plenty of heat to bloom, thus most start blooming between the middle of May and early June when the weather is consistently warm, flowering for 90-120 days. Culture Crapemyrtles require full sun, at least 8 hours of sun a day, to grow to their best potential. They are heat tolerant, and bloom well in the summer heat, and continue into fall. As well as being heat tolerant, they are also drought resistant, growing best in moist, well-drained soil. Overwatering is often detrimental to the crapemyrtle, especially when planted in the summer.

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.

  • Waxes and Triterpene Acids from Lagerstroemia Loudonii Fruit
    NU Science Journal 2013; 10(2): 33 - 43 Waxes and Triterpene acids from Lagerstroemia loudonii fruit Ketkan Sirimethawong, Chanitsara Sriwattanawarunyoo, Vijitr Udeye and Surat Boonphong* Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, Naresuan University, Phitsanulok, 65000 Thailand. *Corresponding author. E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Dichloromethane crude extracts from the Lagerstroemia loudonii fruit were purified by column chromatography and the isolated compounds were identified by spectroscopic methods, particularly by extensive Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) techniques. The isolated compounds were waxes, oleanane-type triterpene acid; oleanolic acid (OA) and ursan-type triterpene acid; ursolic acid (UA). This is the first report on the isolation of waxes and isomeric triterpene acids as OA and UA from this plant. Key words: Lagerstroemia loudonii, oleanolic acid, ursolic acid, waxes INTRODUCTION Lagerstroemia loudonii (Lythraceae) is a tropical plant mainly distributed in the northern part of Thailand. This genus has 18 species found in mixed forest (Smitinand, 2001). Some species are used for a local Thai herbal medicine such as L. floribunda and L. loudonii barks are used for treating diarrhea, while L. speciosa leaf is used for diuretic and diabetes. The wide range of pharmaceutical activity of L. speciosa has been studied, for example, control level in total hepatic lipid contents in genetically diabetic mice (type II, KK-Ay) (Suzuki et al., 1999), reduce blood pressure, lower blood glucose levels, antivirus, antifungal, antibacterial, anticancer (Punyaprabhasara, 2000) and antidiabetic activity in humans (Judy et al., 2003). Boonphong et al. reported that dichloromethane and methanol extracts from L. loudonii have antioxidant, anti-TB and anti-malarial activities.

Lagerstroemia (crape myrtle) are famous ornamental plants with large pyramidal racemes, long flower duration, and diverse colors. However, little is known about the genetic structure and diversity of germplasm in Lagerstroemia. We genotyped 81 L. indica cultivars, five other species ofLagerstroemia , and 10 interspecific hybrids using 30 simple sequence repeat markers; 275 alleles were generated with a mean of nine alleles per locus. The mean polymorphism information content value, a measure of gene diversity, was 0.63, with a range from 0.25 to 0.86. The mean observed heterozygosity (0.51) tended to be lower than the mean expected heterozygosity (0.67). The mean F-statistics (FST, FIS, and FIT) were 0.05, 0.20, and 0.24, respectively, indicating a high level of genetic variation among cultivars. Clustering analysis based on genetic distance divided the 96 genotypes into three distinct groups, which corresponded with their genetic backgrounds and geographic regions.

  • Lythraceae Loosestrife Family
    Lythraceae loosestrife family Twenty-five genera with nearly 500 species comprise this family, but only two genera reach Nova Scotia. Page | 663 Typically flowers are perfect, regular and 4–8-merous. Petals are epigynous or inserted. Stamens number at least as many as the petals or double. They are inserted into the hypanthium, which bears but a single style. Leaves are simple and with entire margins, usually whorled, less frequently alternate. Key to genera Hypanthium equal in length and breadth; flowers 4–5 merous; native wetland or Decodon emergent plant. Hypanthium much longer than broad; calyx and corolla 6-merous; introduced, Lythrum invasive plants. Decodon JF Gmelin water-willow A monotypic genus of North America, the species is a perennial with slender emergent stems, fibrous at the submerged base.

Simple Summary: An exotic insect, crapemyrtle bark scale (CMBS, Acanthococcus lagerstroemiae), has spread across 14 states of the U.S. The infestation of CMBS has negatively impacted the growth, flowering, and even fruiting of some Lythraceae plants to various extent, including cultivars of Lagerstroemia indica, L. fauriei, and Punica granatum. This raises concerns that CMBS would threaten other crapemyrtle species and native Lythraceae plants. Understanding the host range and the host suitability for CMBS would help evaluate the potential risks to landscapes and other ecosystems. Information on the host suitability provides beneficial information for breeding resistant cultivars. In this study, we conducted a host range test on six Lagerstroemia species (L. caudata, L. fauriei ‘Kiowa’, L. indica ‘Dynamite’, L. limii, L. speciosa, and L. subcostata) and a native Lythraceae plant in California (California loosestrife, Lythrum californicum) over 25 weeks.
