Apocynaceae-Apocynoideae) THE NERIEAE (APOCYNACEAE-APOCYNOIDEAE) A. J. M. LEEUWENBERG1 ABSTRACT The genera of tribe Nerieae of Apocynaceae are surveyed here and the relationships of the tribe within the family are evaluated. Recent monographic work in the tribe enabled the author to update taxonomie approaches since Pichon (1950) made the last survey. Original observations on the pollen morphology ofth egener a by S.Nilsson ,Swedis h Natural History Museum, Stockholm, are appended to this paper. RÉSUMÉ L'auteur étudie lesgenre s de la tribu desNeriea e desApocynacée s et évalue lesrelation s del a tribu au sein de la famille. Un travail monographique récent sur la tribu a permit à l'auteur de mettre à jour lesapproche s taxonomiques depuis la dernière étude de Pichon (1950). Lesobservation s inédites par S. Nilsson du Muséum d'Histoire Naturelle Suédois à Stockholm sur la morphologie des pollens des genres sontjointe s à cet article. The Apocynaceae have long been divided into it to generic rank and in his arrangement includ­ two subfamilies, Plumerioideae and Apocynoi- ed Aganosma in the Echitinae.

Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Pandoga, Distt.Una (H.P.) 2Shivalik College of Pharmacy, Naya Nangal, Distt.Ropar, Punjab Available Online: 1st September 2014 ABSTRACT Nerium oleander is an evergreen shrub or small tree in the dogbane family Apocyanaceae. It is commonly known as oleander but has many other names like Nerium indicum mill. and Nerium odorum soland. It bears flowers in clusters with white, pink, yellow and red colours. It contains plumericin, alpha-amyrin, beta-sitosterol, kaempferol, cardioactive glycosides named Odorosides A-H obtained from the root bark. Leaves contain the cardiac glycosides kaneroside, neriumoside, digitoxigenin, alpha –L-olendroside -5α-adynerin and other glycosides. Odorosides are cardioactive glycosides. Gentiobiosyl –oleandrin, Odoroside A and Oleandrin were the main glycosides identified. It has potent cardiotonic activity, digitalis like effect on heart. It has been reported to have effective against skin diseases,wound infections, cancer, diabetes, inflammation and CNS depression. All parts of the plant are poisonous in nature which can be treated by the use of activated charcoal.Topical preparation containing Nerium extract can be used as antiageing cream.

White Smith, Editor From Daphne and Gavin Clark Dunedin, New Zealand Published with permission from the Dunedin Bulletin Feb. 2007 RHODODENDRON lowii (Subsection Vireya) More information about R. lowii relting to the piece in VV81 Addendum – February 2007 Following on from the previous article the long cane produced four shoots. Two were given to a very keen propagator to strike and we tried to strike two, but they all failed. However a good quantity of seed was collected at the end of January, 2005 and again this was shared. Our seed was kept in cool storage and eventually sown in September 2005. A small transparent plastic container with a clear lid was used with the seed sprinkled on to damp, sterilized sphagnum moss. The seeds germinated very well and some of the seedlings were transferred into compost but despite tender care died. The remaining seedlings stayed in the plastic container for some considerable time until recently when they were very carefully removed to individual peat pots into a specially mixed compost. Nine pots are housed in a clear, plastic lidded container 340mm x 300mm which stands on a wide kitchen windowsill with excellent light but no direct sunlight and hopefully some of these will survive. In the meantime the parent plant is flourishing, the two basal shoots are now 800mm high with the original cane cut down to 750mm. It is still in its container and now occupies a choice place among other vireya species in a wooded area beneath 50 year old camellias and rhododendrons which have been pruned to provide an excellent canopy, with morning sun, filtered afternoon sunlight, together with a degree of humidity.

Recently, based on molecular data, classification of Apocynaceae has undergone considerable revisions. According to the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group III (APGIII, 2009), and the update of the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group APG (APGIV, 2016) the family Asclepiadaceae is now included in the Apocynaceae. The family, as currently recognized, includes some 1500 species divided in about 424 genera and five subfamilies: Apocynoideae, Rauvolfioideae, Asclepiadoideae, Periplocoideae, and Secamonoideae. In this research selected species from the previous families Asclepiadaceae and Apocynaceae were morphologically investigated in an attempt to distinguish morphological important characters supporting their new molecular classification. 40 morphological characters were treated as variables and analyzed for cluster of average linkage between groups using the statistical package SPSS 16.0.

Vessel grouping patterns in subfamilies Apocynoideae and Periplocoideae confirm phylogenetic value of wood structure within Apocynaceae Abstract This study contributes to our understanding of the phylogenetic significance and major evolutionary trends in the wood of the dogbane family (Apocynaceae), one of the largest and economically most important angiosperm families. Based on LM and SEM observations of 56 Apocynoideae species—representing all currently recognized tribes—and eight Periplocoideae, we found striking differences in vessel grouping patterns (radial multiples vs.

  • Phylogeny and Systematics of the Rauvolfioideae
    PHYLOGENY AND SYSTEMATICS Andre´ O. Simo˜es,2 Tatyana Livshultz,3 Elena OF THE RAUVOLFIOIDEAE Conti,2 and Mary E. Endress2 (APOCYNACEAE) BASED ON MOLECULAR AND MORPHOLOGICAL EVIDENCE1 ABSTRACT To elucidate deeper relationships within Rauvolfioideae (Apocynaceae), a phylogenetic analysis was conducted using sequences from five DNA regions of the chloroplast genome (matK, rbcL, rpl16 intron, rps16 intron, and 39 trnK intron), as well as morphology. Bayesian and parsimony analyses were performed on sequences from 50 taxa of Rauvolfioideae and 16 taxa from Apocynoideae. Neither subfamily is monophyletic, Rauvolfioideae because it is a grade and Apocynoideae because the subfamilies Periplocoideae, Secamonoideae, and Asclepiadoideae nest within it. In addition, three of the nine currently recognized tribes of Rauvolfioideae (Alstonieae, Melodineae, and Vinceae) are polyphyletic. We discuss morphological characters and identify pervasive homoplasy, particularly among fruit and seed characters previously used to delimit tribes in Rauvolfioideae, as the major source of incongruence between traditional classifications and our phylogenetic results. Based on our phylogeny, simple style-heads, syncarpous ovaries, indehiscent fruits, and winged seeds have evolved in parallel numerous times. A revised classification is offered for the subfamily, its tribes, and inclusive genera. Key words: Apocynaceae, classification, homoplasy, molecular phylogenetics, morphology, Rauvolfioideae, system- atics. During the past decade, phylogenetic studies, (Civeyrel et al., 1998; Civeyrel & Rowe, 2001; Liede especially those employing molecular data, have et al., 2002a, b; Rapini et al., 2003; Meve & Liede, significantly improved our understanding of higher- 2002, 2004; Verhoeven et al., 2003; Liede & Meve, level relationships within Apocynaceae s.l., leading to 2004; Liede-Schumann et al., 2005). the recognition of this family as a strongly supported Despite significant insights gained from studies clade composed of the traditional Apocynaceae s.
