  • Species Accounts
    Species accounts The list of species that follows is a synthesis of all the botanical knowledge currently available on the Nyika Plateau flora. It does not claim to be the final word in taxonomic opinion for every plant group, but will provide a sound basis for future work by botanists, phytogeographers, and reserve managers. It should also serve as a comprehensive plant guide for interested visitors to the two Nyika National Parks. By far the largest body of information was obtained from the following nine publications: • Flora zambesiaca (current ed. G. Pope, 1960 to present) • Flora of Tropical East Africa (current ed. H. Beentje, 1952 to present) • Plants collected by the Vernay Nyasaland Expedition of 1946 (Brenan & collaborators 1953, 1954) • Wye College 1972 Malawi Project Final Report (Brummitt 1973) • Resource inventory and management plan for the Nyika National Park (Mill 1979) • The forest vegetation of the Nyika Plateau: ecological and phenological studies (Dowsett-Lemaire 1985) • Biosearch Nyika Expedition 1997 report (Patel 1999) • Biosearch Nyika Expedition 2001 report (Patel & Overton 2002) • Evergreen forest flora of Malawi (White, Dowsett-Lemaire & Chapman 2001) We also consulted numerous papers dealing with specific families or genera and, finally, included the collections made during the SABONET Nyika Expedition. In addition, botanists from K and PRE provided valuable input in particular plant groups. Much of the descriptive material is taken directly from one or more of the works listed above, including information regarding habitat and distribution. A single illustration accompanies each genus; two illustrations are sometimes included in large genera with a wide morphological variance (for example, Lobelia).

Peat, Andrew Clarke & Peter Convey 5 6 British Antarctic Survey, Natural Environment Research Council, High Cross, Madingley Rd, 7 Cambridge, CB3 0ET, UK. 8 E-mail: [email protected] 9 __________________________________________________________________________ 10 11 ABSTRACT 12 13 Aim To establish how well the terrestrial flora of the Antarctic has been sampled, how well 14 the flora is known, and to determine the major patterns in diversity and biogeography. 15 16 Location Antarctica south of 60°S, together with the South Sandwich Islands, but excluding 17 South Georgia, Bouvetøya and the periantarctic islands. 18 19 Methods Plant occurrence data were collated from herbarium specimens and literature 20 records, and assembled into the Antarctic Plant Database. Distributional patterns were 21 analysed using a geographic information system. Biogeographic patterns were determined 22 with a variety of multivariate statistics. 23 24 Results Plants have been recorded from throughout the Antarctic including all latitudes 25 between 60°S and 86°S. Species richness declines with latitude along the Antarctic 26 Peninsula, but there was no evidence for a similar cline in Victoria Land and the 27 Transantarctic mountains. MDS ordinations showed that the species composition of the 28 South Orkney, South Shetland Islands and the north western Antarctic Peninsula are very 29 similar to each other, as are the floras of different regions in continental Antarctica. However 30 they also suggest that the eastern Antarctic Peninsula flora is more similar to the flora of the 31 southern Antarctic Peninsula than to the continental flora (with which it has traditionally been 32 linked).

  • Vegetation Survey of Mount Gorongosa
    VEGETATION SURVEY OF MOUNT GORONGOSA Tom Müller, Anthony Mapaura, Bart Wursten, Christopher Chapano, Petra Ballings & Robin Wild 2008 (published 2012) Occasional Publications in Biodiversity No. 23 VEGETATION SURVEY OF MOUNT GORONGOSA Tom Müller, Anthony Mapaura, Bart Wursten, Christopher Chapano, Petra Ballings & Robin Wild 2008 (published 2012) Occasional Publications in Biodiversity No. 23 Biodiversity Foundation for Africa P.O. Box FM730, Famona, Bulawayo, Zimbabwe Vegetation Survey of Mt Gorongosa, page 2 SUMMARY Mount Gorongosa is a large inselberg almost 700 sq. km in extent in central Mozambique. With a vertical relief of between 900 and 1400 m above the surrounding plain, the highest point is at 1863 m. The mountain consists of a Lower Zone (mainly below 1100 m altitude) containing settlements and over which the natural vegetation cover has been strongly modified by people, and an Upper Zone in which much of the natural vegetation is still well preserved. Both zones are very important to the hydrology of surrounding areas. Immediately adjacent to the mountain lies Gorongosa National Park, one of Mozambique's main conservation areas. A key issue in recent years has been whether and how to incorporate the upper parts of Mount Gorongosa above 700 m altitude into the existing National Park, which is primarily lowland. [These areas were eventually incorporated into the National Park in 2010.] In recent years the unique biodiversity and scenic beauty of Mount Gorongosa have come under severe threat from the destruction of natural vegetation. This is particularly acute as regards moist evergreen forest, the loss of which has accelerated to alarming proportions.

  • New Tribal Delimitations for the Early Diverging Lineages of Apiaceae Subfamily Apioideae
    TAXON 59 (2) • April 2010: 567–580 Magee & al. • Tribal delimitations in early diverging Apioideae New tribal delimitations for the early diverging lineages of Apiaceae subfamily Apioideae Anthony R.

Author for correspondence: Ben-Erik van Wyk, [email protected] Abstract Phylogenetic analyses of the cpDNA trnQ-trnK 5′ exon region for 27 genera and 42 species of Saniculoideae and early diverging lineages of Apioideae were carried out to assess or confirm the tribal placements of the following anomalous genera: Annesorhiza, Astydamia, Chamarea, Choritaenia, Ezosciadium, Itasina, Lichtensteinia, Marlothiella, Molopospermum and Phlyctidocarpa. To accommodate these unique early diverging members of the Apiaceae and to reflect their relationships, a new tribal classification system has become necessary. Many of the early diverging genera (herein referred to as the pro- toapioids) can readily be distinguished from the euapioids (the remaining apioids) by the presence of scattered druse crystals in the mesocarp. The major morphological discontinuity within the family, however, lies between the combined protoapioids and euapioids (representing an expanded Apioideae s.l., including the Saniculoideae) and the subfamilies Azorelloideae and Mackinlayoideae.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This curriculum is focused on training of trainer’s material aimed to enhance the skills and capacity of range management staff in relevant government departments in Lesotho. Specifically, the materials target Department of Range Resources Management (DRRM) staff at central and district level to build capacity on rangeland management. The training material is intended to act as an accessible field guide to allow rangeland staff to interact with farmers and local authorities as target beneficiaries of the information. We would like to thank the leadership of Itumeleng Bulane from WAMPP for guiding this project, including organising the user-testing workshop to allow DRRM staff to interact and give critical feedback to the drafting process. We would also like to acknowledge Steve Twomlow of IFAD for his

The plant has Princess Chulabhorn Mahidol on the occasion been used in Ayurveda and traditionally used to treat malaria and cancer, and possesses several sesquiterpene of HRH’s 60th Birthday Anniversary lactones. This study aimed to investigate and identify the active constituents by bioactivity-based analysis, as Celebration. well as to evaluate the cytotoxic activity of V. extensa by MTT or XTT assays in ten cancer cell lines (Liver HepG2 and S102; Bile duct HuCCA-1; Leukemia HL-60 and MOLT-3; Lung A549 and H69AR; Breast MDA-MB-231 and Keywords: T47D; Cervical HeLa). Bioactivity-guided fractionation and semi-preparative HPLC purification were used to Vernonia extensa separate the bioactive constituents. Apoptosis-inducing activity and cell cycle inhibitory effect of selected active Asteraceae Sesquiterpenoids compounds were determined on HepG2 cells by flow cytometric analysis.
