  • Well-Known Plants in Each Angiosperm Order
    Well-known plants in each angiosperm order This list is generally from least evolved (most ancient) to most evolved (most modern). (I’m not sure if this applies for Eudicots; I’m listing them in the same order as APG II.) The first few plants are mostly primitive pond and aquarium plants. Next is Illicium (anise tree) from Austrobaileyales, then the magnoliids (Canellales thru Piperales), then monocots (Acorales through Zingiberales), and finally eudicots (Buxales through Dipsacales). The plants before the eudicots in this list are considered basal angiosperms. This list focuses only on angiosperms and does not look at earlier plants such as mosses, ferns, and conifers. Basal angiosperms – mostly aquatic plants Unplaced in order, placed in Amborellaceae family • Amborella trichopoda – one of the most ancient flowering plants Unplaced in order, placed in Nymphaeaceae family • Water lily • Cabomba (fanwort) • Brasenia (watershield) Ceratophyllales • Hornwort Austrobaileyales • Illicium (anise tree, star anise) Basal angiosperms - magnoliids Canellales • Drimys (winter's bark) • Tasmanian pepper Laurales • Bay laurel • Cinnamon • Avocado • Sassafras • Camphor tree • Calycanthus (sweetshrub, spicebush) • Lindera (spicebush, Benjamin bush) Magnoliales • Custard-apple • Pawpaw • guanábana (soursop) • Sugar-apple or sweetsop • Cherimoya • Magnolia • Tuliptree • Michelia • Nutmeg • Clove Piperales • Black pepper • Kava • Lizard’s tail • Aristolochia (birthwort, pipevine, Dutchman's pipe) • Asarum (wild ginger) Basal angiosperms - monocots Acorales

  • Case Study on Latanye Broom Industry
    DEVELOPMENT OF THE LATANYÉ BROOM INDUSTRY IN SAINT LUCIA (WEST INDIES) Contributing Authors- Donatian Gustave, Lyndon John, Michael Andrew, Brent Charles, Margaret Severin, Monica Hyacinth, Lench Fevrier, Julius James, Anita James, Cornelius Isaac and Rebecca Rock. October 19 2006 1 Background Latanyé (Coccothrinax barbadensis) is a palm native to Saint Lucia. Its leaves are used to make craft and brooms. Latanyé is generally distributed throughout the Windward and Leeward Islands, including Trinidad and Tobago. Latanyé’s natural habitat ranges from “littoral and scrub woodlands near the coast, from sea level to 200 metres elevation”. (L. John 2001). The morphology of the leaves makes the plant resistant to strong wind currents. As it can grow on marginal soils, and appears to be tolerant against pests and diseases, Latanyé may be considered as an ideal plant for soil conservation works to reduce the rate of land degradation in St. Lucia. Figure 1 Photo of a Latanyé Plant Traditional Harvest of Latanyé Leaves In an ideal sustainable harvesting system, the older or mature Latanyé leaves are harvested and that the remainder of the plant regenerates and produces new leaves. 5 to 7 Latanyé leaves and a sturdy broom handle are used to make large brooms. (L. John 2001). Figure 2 illustrates how brooms are made. Figure 2 Phases in the production of a Latanyé Broom 1. Harvesting 2. Drying of Leaves 3. Preparation of Leaves 4) Tying leaves 5. Latanyé Broom (3- 5 days) Lyndon John (2001) described the broom industry in a socio economic context in 2001. The study revealed that Latanyé wild stocks were harvested “year round” to maintain livelihoods of rural people because of the available market and high demand for leaves for making brooms.

  • Red Ring Disease of Coconut Palms Is Caused by the Red Ring Nematode (Bursaphelenchus Cocophilus), Though This Nematode May Also Be Known As the Coconut Palm Nematode
    1 Red ring disease of coconut palms is caused by the red ring nematode (Bursaphelenchus cocophilus), though this nematode may also be known as the coconut palm nematode. This disease was first described on coconut palms in 1905 in Trinidad and the association between the disease and the nematode was reported in 1919. The vector of the nematode is the South American palm weevil (Rhynchophorus palmarum), both adults and larvae. The nematode parasitizes the weevil which then transmits the nematode as it moves from tree to tree. Though the weevil may visit many different tree species, the nematode only infects members of the Palmae family. The nematode and South American palm weevil have not yet been observed in Florida. 2 Information Sources: Brammer, A.S. and Crow, W.T. 2001.

  • Wood Anatomy of Neotropical Sapotaceae VI Chloroluma
    WOOD ANATOMY OF THE NEOTROPICAL SAPOTACEAE VlI. CHRYSOPHYLLUM RESEARCH PAPER FPL 331 FOREST PRODUCTS LABORATORY FOREST SERVICE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE MADISON, WIS. 1978 Preface The Sapotaceae form an important part of the ecosystem in the neotropics; forexample, limited inventories made in the Amazon Basin indicate that this family makes up about 25% of the standing timber volume there. This would represent an astronomical volume of timber but at present only a very small fraction is being utilized. Obviously, better information would help utilization--expecially if that information can result in clear identification of species. The Sapotaceae represent a well-marked and natural family but the homogeneous nature of their floral characters makes generic identifi­ cation extremely difficult. This in turn is responsible for the extensivesynonomy. Baehni and Bernardi state the situation with respect to Peru but this would hold equally well for all of the neotropics: "For instance, of the 39 species and one variety described hereunder, 13 are known only from the Peruvian type; and 23 taxa here presented have no fruit or seed. It is universally admitted that the taxonomy of this family is almost impossible without--for the same species--leaves, flowers, fruits, and seeds." Unfortunately, species continue to be named on the basis of flowering or fruiting material alone and this continues to add to the already confused state of affairs. This paper on Chrysophyllum is the seventh in a series describing the anatomy of the secondary xylem of the neotropical Sapotaceae. The earlier papers, all by the same author and under the same general heading,include: I.

Leaves of four type of kenitu were extracted with different solvents, i.e., 96% of ethanol, 70% of ethanol, 50% of ethanol, 96% of acetonee, 70% of acetone, and 50% of acetone. The extracts have been screened for antioxidant activities using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay, total phenolic content, and total flavonoid content. The study showed that 70% of ethanol extracts exhibited the highest antioxidant activity. The type 2 samples exhibited the highest total phenolic content, while type 1 samples had the highest total flavonoid content. ©© 20162015 TheThe Authors. Authors.

Centro de Pesquisas René Rachou, Fundação Oswaldo Cruz, Belo Horizonte, MG. [3]. Faculdade de Medicina, Universidade de Brasília, Brasília, DF. ABSTRACT Introduction: Rhodnius neglectus is a triatomine that colonizes different palm species. In this study, we aimed to describe the presence of this triatomine bug in the royal palms (Roystonea oleracea) in a rural region of the State of Goiás. Methods: Palm infestation was investigated by dissecting the palms or by using live-bait traps. Results: Two palm trees were infested by R. neglectus negative for Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiological agent for Chagas disease. In the study area, R. neglectus is frequently found in households. Conclusions: The adaptation of this species to palm trees introduced in Brazil for landscaping purposes poses another challenge for controlling the vectors of Chagas disease. Keywords: Triatomine bugs. Infestation. Palm trees. Rhodnius neglectus Lent, 1954 (Hemiptera, Triatominae) is palm trees such as gueiroba (Syagrus oleracea) and bacuri a triatomine bug that mainly inhabits palm trees in the Brazilian (Attalea phalerata) are widely found close to dwellings in this Savanna1-3, Pantanal, and Caatinga biomes4.
