Later it became a meeting place for the local ranchers. A f.ew years ago, we got a new post office and a new fire station (no longer volunteer) but the town has changed little in the past several decades. The old-time inhabitants are trying desperately to keep it that way. Suddenly, Penngrove finds itself caught up in the crush of expanding towns and cities that serve as the bedroom communities of the north San Francisco Bay. Sound familiar? Suddenly, we too find ourselves caught up in a modern world, and those of us who 1i ke to garden find we no 1anger have the leisure time nor perhaps the space to carry out our interest to its fullest. We have to be more selective in what we plant and care for, planting those things that have, or can, withstand the changes that affect our 1i ves and the changes in the world around us. And when the pl ants flower, what pleasure and joy for our efforts. SIGNA is committed to the study and dissemination of the genus iris and to that purpose we dedicate the next short while. Thank you for the opportunity to be part of it. Colin Rigby October, 1988 Before Dec 31/88 $ l.50 After Dec 31/88 $2.DO Here's one Jast chance. After December 31st, all hack issues will be $2.00.

Received 14 July, 2018; Accepted 9 October, 2018 In the present study, conservation status of important vascular flora found in Kalam valley was assessed. Kalam Valley represents the extreme northern part of Swat District in KPK Province of Pakistan. The valley contains some of the precious medicinal plants. 245 plant species which were assessed for conservation studies revealed that 10.20% (25 species) were found to be endangered, 28.16% (69 species) appeared to be vulnerable. Similarly, 50.6% (124 species) were rare, 8.16% (20 species) were infrequent and 2.9% (7 species) were recognized as dominant. It was concluded that Kalam Valley inhabits most important plants majority of which are used in medicines; but due to anthropogenic activities including unplanned tourism, deforestation, uprooting of medicinal plants and over grazing, majority of these plant species are rapidly heading towards regional extinction in the near future.

A total of 463 species belonging to 104 families were recorded. Leading families were Asteraceae (42 Spp), Poaceae (35 Spp), Rosaceae and Lamiaceae (each with 26 Spp), Papilionaceae (25 Spp), Brassicaceae and Boraginaceae (each with 16 Spp), Apiaceae (14 Spp), Solanaceae (13 Species) and Ranunculaceae (12 Spp). Each of the remaining families had less than 12 species. Therophytes with 188 species, 40.60% were dominant. They were followed by hemicryptophytes (77 species, 16.63%). Cuscuta europaea L., C. reflexa Roxb. and Viscum album L. were the three shoot parasites. The leaf spectra was dominated by mesophylls (147 Spp; 31.75%), microphylls (140 Spp.; 30.24%) and nanophylls (136 Spp.; 29.37%). Two species were aphyllous. Majority of the species (305 Spp., 65.87%) had simple lamina. Eight species (1.73%) had spiny leaves. Key words: Floristic diversity, Ecological characteristics, Chail valley, District Swat, Pakistan. Introduction and plant families were arranged in alphabetical order. Plant species were classified into leaf size classes and life Chail Valley is located between 72o 32' 1" to 72o43' 3" form according to Raunkiaer (1934) and Hussain (1989).

  • New Perspectives on Medicinal Properties and Uses of Iris Sp
    Hop and Medicinal Plants, Year XXIV, No. 1-2, 2016 ISSN 2360 – 0179 print, ISSN 2360 – 0187 electronic NEW PERSPECTIVES ON MEDICINAL PROPERTIES AND USES OF IRIS SP. CRIŞAN Ioana, Maria CANTOR* Faculty of Horticulture, University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine, Manastur Street 3-5, 400372 Cluj-Napoca, Romania *corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract. Rhizomes from various Iris species have been used in traditional medicine to treat a variety of ailments since ancient times and many constituents isolated from different Iris species demonstrated potent biological activities in recent studies. All research findings besides the increasing demand for natural ingredients in cosmetics and market demand from industries like alcoholic beverages, cuisine and perfumery indicate a promising future for cultivation of irises for rhizomes, various extracts but most importantly for high quality orris butter. Romania is situated in a transitional continental climate with suitable conditions for hardy iris species and thus with good prospects for successful cultivation of Iris germanica, Iris florentina and Iris pallida in conditions of economic efficiency. Key words: Iris, medicinal plant, orris butter, rhizomes Introduction The common word “iris” that gave the name of the genus, originates from Greek designating “rainbow” presumably due to the wide variety of colors that these flowers can have (Cumo, 2013). The genus reunites about 300 species (Wang et al., 2010) with rhizomes or bulbs (Cantor, 2016). In Romanian wild flora can be met both naturalized and native species, some enjoying special protection, like Iris aphylla ssp. hungarica (Marinescu and Alexiu, 2013) that can be seen on the hills nearby Cluj-Napoca (Fig.

Kaššák Received: September 13,2012 Abstract KAŠŠÁK, P.: Secondary metabolites of the choosen genus iris species. Acta univ. agric. et silvic. Mendel. Brun., 2012, LX, No. 8, pp. 269–280 Genus Iris contains more than 260 species which are mostly distributed across the North Hemisphere. Irises are mainly used as the ornamental plants, due to their colourful fl owers, or in the perfume industry, due to their violet like fragrance, but lot of iris species were also used in many part of the worlds as medicinal plants for healing of a wide spectre of diseases. Nowadays the botanical and biochemical research bring new knowledge about chemical compounds in roots, leaves and fl owers of the iris species, about their chemical content and possible medicinal usage. Due to this researches are Irises plants rich in content of the secondary metabolites. The most common secondary metabolites are fl avonoids and isofl avonoids. The second most common group of secondary metabolites are fl avones, quinones and xanthones. This review brings together results of the iris research in last few decades, putting together the information about the secondary metabolites research and chemical content of iris plants. Some clinical studies show positive results in usage of the chemical compounds obtained from various iris species in the treatment of cancer, or against the bacterial and viral infections. genus iris, secondary metabolites, fl avonoids, isofl avonoids, fl avones, medicinal plants, chemical compounds The genus Iris L.
