The wild tomatillo, Physalis longifolia Nutt., and related species have been important wild-harvested foods and medicinal plants. This paper reviews their traditional use as food and medicine; it also discusses taxonomic difficulties and provides information on recent medicinal chemistry discoveries within this and related species. Subtle morphological differences recognized by taxonomists to distinguish this species from closely related taxa can be confusing to botanists and ethnobotanists, and many of these differences are not considered to be important by indigenous people. Therefore, the food and medicinal uses reported here include information for P. longifolia, as well as uses for several related taxa found north of Mexico. The importance of wild Physalis species as food is reported by many tribes, and its long history of use is evidenced by frequent discovery in archaeological sites. These plants may have been cultivated, or “tended,” by Pueblo farmers and other tribes. The importance of this plant as medicine is made evident through its historical ethnobotanical use, information in recent literature on Physalis species pharmacology, and our Native Medicinal Plant Research Program’s recent discovery of 14 new natural products, some of which have potent anti-cancer activity.

HULBERT'S STUDY OF FACTORS EFFECTING BOTANICAL COMPOSITION OF TALLGRASS PRAIRIE David J. Gibson Department of Biology, University of West Florida, Pensacola, Florida 32514 Abstract. Lloyd Hulbert's death in May 1986 left a wealth of unfinished during the early part of the growing season (Hulbert 1988), and projects as well as the legacy of Konza Prairie Research Natural Area, may lead to a more productive (Abrams et al. 1986), lower di­ Kansas. One of these was an incomplete manuscript on fire, mowing, and versity, structurally more uniform grassland. The importance of soil effects on the tallgrass prairie, in which canopy cover and frequency soil type upon the composition of the prairie lies, in part, in the in 27 soil-treatment combinations from Konza Prairie were reported.

  • Published Vestigations Together Study Existing Accept Arrangements
    Notes on the Nomenclature of some grasses II by Dr. J.Th. Henrard (Rijksherbarium, Leiden) (Issued September 10th, 1941). In a former article new combinations and critical observa- 1) many all the world. New in- tions were published on various grasses over vestigations in critical genera together with the study of the existing literature made it necessary to accept various other arrangements in this important family. The old system of Bentham, once the basis for a total is and modified and review, now more more many tribes are and limited. The have purified more exactly most recent system we at the moment, is Hubbard’s treatment of this family in the work of Hutchinson: The families of flowering plants. Vol. II. Monocotyle- dons. The grasses are divided there into 26 tribes. We have here the great advantage that aberrant which are into genera, not easy to place one of the formerly accepted tribes, are given as representatives of distinct new tribes. The curious tropical genus Streptochaeta f.i. con- stitutes the tribe of the Streptochaeteae. It is quite acceptable that tribes consist of but may one genus, especially when such a genus is a totally deviating one and cannot be inserted into one of the already existing ones. Such tribes are f.i. the Nardeae with the only northern genus Nardus, and the Mediterranean tribe of the Lygeeae with the only genus Lygeum, one of the Esparto grasses. It is therefore wonder no that Hubbard creates a new tribe, the Anomochloeae, for one of the most curious tropical grasses of the world.

    A Photographic Companion to Peterson & Brown’s Vascular Flora of the Little Thicket Nature Sanctuary San Jacinto County, Texas Calvin R. Blakley, Ph.D. Copyright 2002 Calvin R. Blakley Outdoor Nature Club P.O. Box 270894 Houston, Texas 77277-0894 Contents Introduction.......................................................... 4 Plants with White Flowers ......................... white-1 Plants with Yellow flowers ...................... yellow-1 Plants with Red flowers ................................. red-1 Plants with Blue flowers .............................. blue-1 Plants with Green flowers.......................... green-1 Ferns, Grasses, Trees ......................................fgt-1 Index .......................................................... index-1 Introduction Like most people, I use field guides to identify wildflowers. Also like most people, I leaf through the guides until I find a picture of the plant in question. The pictures usually don’t “look like” the plant in question, however, even when correct. The problem I decided, is that the illustra- tions are too small and don’t show all the features of the specimen. In that respect, I find that draw- ings, such as those in Peterson’s Guide to Wildflowers of the Southwest and Texas often work better, but they still don’t give one a good idea of the size of the plant. Botanists use herbarium collections. They collect a specimen of the unkown plant and physi- cally compare it to specimens in the herbarium. I’ve never visited one, but I’ve seen examples of the dried, brown, pressed specimens they contain. I prefer color. I decided that what we amateur botanists need is a photographic herbarium in which all the species are presented life size, in color. Auxillary macro or location photographs could illustrate key identifying features and the habitat it’s found in.

  • Specialist and Bumble Bees
    PLANTS THAT ATTRACT SPECIALIST BEES AND BUMBLE BEES Specialist Bees seek flower pollen from a specific plant or plant species. This dependence poses a risk to their survival. Specialist Bee Families include: Andrenidae, Apidae, Colletidae, Halictidae, Megachilidae and Melittidae. Choosing plants for specialist bees also benefits bumble bees and other generalist bee pollinators who visit and pollinate these flowers. Highlighted plants support Specialist bees.

  • Complete Chloroplast Genomes Shed Light on Phylogenetic
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Complete chloroplast genomes shed light on phylogenetic relationships, divergence time, and biogeography of Allioideae (Amaryllidaceae) Ju Namgung1,4, Hoang Dang Khoa Do1,2,4, Changkyun Kim1, Hyeok Jae Choi3 & Joo‑Hwan Kim1* Allioideae includes economically important bulb crops such as garlic, onion, leeks, and some ornamental plants in Amaryllidaceae. Here, we reported the complete chloroplast genome (cpDNA) sequences of 17 species of Allioideae, fve of Amaryllidoideae, and one of Agapanthoideae. These cpDNA sequences represent 80 protein‑coding, 30 tRNA, and four rRNA genes, and range from 151,808 to 159,998 bp in length. Loss and pseudogenization of multiple genes (i.e., rps2, infA, and rpl22) appear to have occurred multiple times during the evolution of Alloideae. Additionally, eight mutation hotspots, including rps15-ycf1, rps16-trnQ-UUG, petG-trnW-CCA , psbA upstream, rpl32- trnL-UAG , ycf1, rpl22, matK, and ndhF, were identifed in the studied Allium species. Additionally, we present the frst phylogenomic analysis among the four tribes of Allioideae based on 74 cpDNA coding regions of 21 species of Allioideae, fve species of Amaryllidoideae, one species of Agapanthoideae, and fve species representing selected members of Asparagales. Our molecular phylogenomic results strongly support the monophyly of Allioideae, which is sister to Amaryllioideae. Within Allioideae, Tulbaghieae was sister to Gilliesieae‑Leucocoryneae whereas Allieae was sister to the clade of Tulbaghieae‑ Gilliesieae‑Leucocoryneae. Molecular dating analyses revealed the crown age of Allioideae in the Eocene (40.1 mya) followed by diferentiation of Allieae in the early Miocene (21.3 mya). The split of Gilliesieae from Leucocoryneae was estimated at 16.5 mya.
