Bauereiß, D. Schecklmann www.botanischer-garten.fau.de The Botanical Garden in Erlangen In the historical city-center of Erlangen the Botanical Garden of the Friedrich-Alexander University is located north of the adjacent manor house garden. It was established in this place in 1829, although the garden can be traced back to the year 1626, when in closeby Altdorf an academic medical garden of the University of the City of Nuremberg was founded as a `Hortus Medicus´. The Botanical Garden in Erlangen with an area of 2 ha ranks among the smallest sites of its kind in Germa- ny. Nevertheless it presents a surprisingsly wide variety of plant species, natural biotopes and distinctive garden features. In a confined space a large number of natural environments has been created. By way of their intelligent design and layout they allow the visitor to experience the different garden areas indivi- dually. Characteristic for the appearance of the garden is its collection of amazing trees. Next to native oaks, lime and beech trees there are also redwoods, ginkgos and other exotic trees. Two huge mulberry trees bear testimony to experiments of the rearing of silkworms in the 19th century. Noteworhty is the remarkable collection of rare species of the genus Sorbus that includes a lot of endemic plants whose only natural occurance is the Frankenalb. In cooperation with nature conservation authorities the botani- cal garden is able to support the protection of species by taking part in ex-situ-cultivation. Thereby plant species which are endangered in their natural habitat are cultivated in the botanical garden so that later a resettlement can take place. In summertime the non-hardy subtropical woody plants are grouped into outdoor plantings with a geographical order. On the eastside of the garden the taxonomy of the angiosperms is easy to compre- hend by walking through the systematic section. Nearby the small herbal and spice garden illustrates the culinary side of botany. Substances and similarities in treatment and effect play an important role in the arrangement of the hexagonal plantbeds in the medicinal herb garden. An ecological and morphological array of plants exemplifies the different aspects of floral ecology, seed dispersal and ecological site adap- tion. The alpinum accomodates plants whose natural habitats are located in high altitudes in the moun- tains above the tree line. Closeby one can find a moist area, dry sandvegetation and a small steppe. The greenhouses encompass about 1700m² and are rich in diversity. They house plants of the tropical lowland and montane rain forests, of mangroves and of arid climates (cactus family and other succulents). Other conservatories contain tropical agricultural crops and epiphytes. The special flora of Macaronesia can be admired in the glasshouse dedicated to the Canary Islands. Visitors especially enjoy the different basins with sealilies, lotos and giant victoria. In its southwest, the garden holds yet another special feature. In 1907 a replica of a stalactite cave was built by Adalbert Neischl and is therefore named `Neischl-Cave´. Stalactite caves are characteristic of the nearby calcareous Frankenalb. Due to the convenient location of the botanical garden in the city-center of Erlangen and its closeness to university facilities and hospitals a lot of people frequent the garden. The great popularity of the Botanical Garden is supported by changing exhibitions.

    Epilist 1.0: a Global Checklist of Vascular Epiphytes

    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2021 EpiList 1.0: a global checklist of vascular epiphytes Zotz, Gerhard ; Weigelt, Patrick ; Kessler, Michael ; Kreft, Holger ; Taylor, Amanda Abstract: Epiphytes make up roughly 10% of all vascular plant species globally and play important functional roles, especially in tropical forests. However, to date, there is no comprehensive list of vas- cular epiphyte species. Here, we present EpiList 1.0, the first global list of vascular epiphytes based on standardized definitions and taxonomy. We include obligate epiphytes, facultative epiphytes, and hemiepiphytes, as the latter share the vulnerable epiphytic stage as juveniles. Based on 978 references, the checklist includes >31,000 species of 79 plant families. Species names were standardized against World Flora Online for seed plants and against the World Ferns database for lycophytes and ferns. In cases of species missing from these databases, we used other databases (mostly World Checklist of Selected Plant Families). For all species, author names and IDs for World Flora Online entries are provided to facilitate the alignment with other plant databases, and to avoid ambiguities. EpiList 1.0 will be a rich source for synthetic studies in ecology, biogeography, and evolutionary biology as it offers, for the first time, a species‐level overview over all currently known vascular epiphytes. At the same time, the list represents work in progress: species descriptions of epiphytic taxa are ongoing and published life form information in floristic inventories and trait and distribution databases is often incomplete and sometimes evenwrong.

  • Distribution and Flowering Ecology of Bromeliads Along Two Climatically Contrasting Elevational Transects in the Bolivian Andes1

    Distribution and Flowering Ecology of Bromeliads Along Two Climatically Contrasting Elevational Transects in the Bolivian Andes1

    BIOTROPICA 38(2): 183–195 2006 10.1111/j.1744-7429.2006.00124.x Distribution and Flowering Ecology of Bromeliads along Two Climatically Contrasting Elevational Transects in the Bolivian Andes1 Thorsten Kromer¨ 2, Michael Kessler Institute of Plant Sciences, Department of Systematic Botany, University of Gottingen,¨ Untere Karspule¨ 2, 37073 Gottingen,¨ Germany and Sebastian K. Herzog3 Institut fur¨ Vogelforschung “Vogelwarte Helgoland,” An der Vogelwarte 21, 26386 Wilhelmshaven, Germany ABSTRACT We compared the diversity, taxonomic composition, and pollination syndromes of bromeliad assemblages and the diversity and abundance of hummingbirds along two climatically contrasting elevational gradients in Bolivia. Elevational patterns of bromeliad species richness differed noticeably between transects. Along the continuously wet Carrasco transect, species richness peaked at mid-elevations, whereas at Masicur´ı most species were found in the hot, semiarid lowlands. Bromeliad assemblages were dominated by large epiphytic tank bromeliads at Carrasco and by small epiphytic, atmospheric tillandsias at Masicur´ı. In contrast to the epiphytic taxa, terrestrial bromeliads showed similar distributions across both transects. At Carrasco, hummingbird-pollination was the most common pollination mode, whereas at Masicur´ı most species were entomophilous. The proportion of ornithophilous species increased with elevation on both transects, whereas entomophily showed the opposite pattern. At Carrasco, the percentage of ornithophilous bromeliad species was significantly correlated with hummingbird abundance but not with hummingbird species richness. Bat-pollination was linked to humid, tropical conditions in accordance with the high species richness of bats in tropical lowlands. At Carrasco, mixed hummingbird/bat-pollination was found especially at mid-elevations, i.e., on the transition between preferential bat-pollination in the lowlands and preferential hummingbird-pollination in the highlands.

During ethnobotanical fieldwork among the Yanomam¨ı Amerindians in Venezuela we observed that Phyllanthus piscatorum was exclusively cultivated and used by the women. Aerial parts of this herbaceous shrub are employed as fish poison and medicine to treat wounds and fungal infections. In addition, the leaves are used as tobacco substitute. Ethnobotanical data regarding the context of the use of this plant are presented. To validate ethnobotanical information related to its medicinal indications, antimicrobial, and antiprotozoal properties of water, methanol (MeOH) and dichloromethane (DCM) extracts were studied. No activity against Gram-positive bacterial strains but significant activity against the fungi Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus flavus and the yeast Candida albicans were found. All extracts showed weak in vitro activity against Plasmodium falciparum and Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense. The extracts were further investigated for cytotoxic effects in an in vitro test system with leukemia Jurkat T, HeLa, and human peripheral mononuclear blood cells (PBMCs).
