Morphology, Anatomy, Palynology and Achene Micromorphology of Bellis L. (Asteraceae) Species from Turkey Acta Bot. Croat. 79 (1), 59–67, 2020 CODEN: ABCRA 25 DOI: 10.37427/botcro-2020-006 ISSN 0365-0588 eISSN 1847-8476 Morphology, anatomy, palynology and achene micromorphology of Bellis L. (Asteraceae) species from Turkey Faruk Karahan* Department of Biology, Faculty of Science and Arts, Hatay Mustafa Kemal University, 31040 Hatay, Turkey Abstract – In the present study, the morphological characters, root, stem and leaf anatomy, pollen and achene micromorphology of Bellis L. species (Bellis annua L., B. perennis L. and B. sylvestris Cirillo) distributed in Turkey have been investigated on light and scanning electron microscope. Palynological analysis showed that pollen characters were found as small to medium size, isopolar, radially symmetrical, oblate-spheroidal and prolate- spheroidal, tricolporate and echinate-perforate ornamentation in the three species. Achene characters were found dark brown to yellow in colour, often cylindrical, compressed, with thickened margin, obovate orobovoid shaped, pappus absent and the coat ornamentations are rectangular with short hairs on the surface. As a result of this study, leaf morphology and some pollen characteristics such as pollen size, shape, perforation and distance be- tween spines were demonstrated to be different among the Bellis species.

Also, the paper provides information about the hayfields floral richness, a great scientific value for Romania and Europe. The study of the flora was carried out in several stages: 2005-2008, 2013, 2017-2018. In the studied area, 397 taxa were identified, distributed in 82 families with therapeutic potential, represented by 164 medical taxa, 37 of them being in the European Pharmacopoeia 8.5. The study reveals that most plants contain: volatile oils (13.41%), tannins (12.19%), flavonoids (9.75%), mucilages (8.53%) etc. This plants can be used in the treatment of various human disorders: disorders of the digestive system, respiratory system, skin disorders, muscular and skeletal systems, genitourinary system, in gynaecological disorders, cardiovascular, and central nervous sistem disorders. In the study plants protected by law at European and national level were identified: Echium maculatum, Cephalaria radiata, Crambe tataria, Narcissus poeticus ssp. radiiflorus, Salvia nutans, Iris aphylla, Orchis morio, Orchis tridentata, Adonis vernalis, Dictamnus albus, Hammarbya paludosa etc. Keywords: Fărăgău, medicinal plants, human disease, Mureş County 1.

ISSN 2153 733X NOTES ON THE OCCURRENCE OF ERIGERON SUMATRENSIS (ASTERACEAE) IN GEORGIA GUY L. NESOM 2925 Hartwood Drive Fort Worth, Texas 76109 [email protected] ABSTRACT A survey for Erigeron sumatrensis in central Georgia indicates that it is densely distributed on the the coastal plain there, suggesting that its occurrence may be similar from South Carolina to Louisiana. Vouchers and a distribution map for the Georgia records are provided. A recent study (Nesom 2018) documented the occurrence of Erigeron sumatrensis Retz. across the southeastern USA (Fig. 1). Current herbarium collections suggest that it is common in coastal counties but sporadic in more inland areas. The present report indicates that the species probably is more densely distributed through the coastal plain from South Carolina to Louisiana. On 9-10 September, 2018, I surveyed a broad loop in central Georgia and added 14 county records to the distribution of Erigeron sumatrensis . Figure 2 shows the more geographically saturated distribution the species has attained there. The tall columnar habit (characteristically 4-6 feet tall) of Erigeron sumatrensis makes it conspicuous (Figs. 3-5). In central Georgia I found it along roadsides and fencerows and at edges of cultivated and fallow fields. It is local in occurrence, usually as only 1 or a few plants (but sometimes up to 10-15 in a cluster), often growing with more abundant and continuously distributed E. canadensis . Erigeron sumatrensis in September is at the end of its growing season and mostly in fruit, while many plants of E.

  • Association of Societies for Growing Australian Plants
    ISSN - 335X November. 1994 ASSOCIATION OF SOCIETIES FOR GROWING AUSTRALIAN PLANTS THE AUSTRALIAN DAISY-STUDY GROUP-NEWSLETTER N0.40 Dear Members, With the bulk of collecting and observation completed for the Brachyscome Project, it looks as if drought will thwart me. Any rain that falls in the next couple of weeks will be too late for my collecting schedule. There's also the irritating problem of some arid area species failing to appreciate the urgency of our situation. They are being reluctant to germinate or to grow on down here in Melbourne. All this suggests there will be plenty of scope for follow-up research. Like all study groups and kindred organisations, we rely heavily on the willing co-operation and voluntary efforts of our members. ADSG is indeed fortunate in this regard. We are very grateful to Ruth Marriott for the design of our windcheater logo (see p.52 ). We were an extremely smart crew in white logo on navy at the recent Melbourne Wildflower Show. I The Daisy display made quite an impact and we have Maureen Schaumann to thank for the inspirational concept of "Uses of Daisies". One of the projects was undertaken in great secrecy. The only clue we had was that Maureen was working away with wood. At the unveiling we were stunned to see beautifully created necklaces designed from Cassinia aculeafa and C.laevis. What patience and creativity! Judy and Maureen supplied the range of dried flowers and Peggy MacAllister, Melbourne's Master Gardener, brought along a number of floral arrangements, a few of her own and some of her daughter's.

Cyrenaica (Asteraceae) Ghalia T. El Rabiae*, Seham H. Elbadry Department of Botany, Faculty of Science, Benghazi University, Libya *Corresponding Author: Ghalia T. El Rabiae, Department of Botany, Faculty of Science, Benghazi University, Libya Abstract: Bellis L. Belonging to the family Asteraceae and has been included in subtribe Asterinae (tribe Astereae). In the present work, the morphological characters, stem, petiole and leaf anatomy, pollen micromorphology of Endemic Bellis sylvestrisvar. cyrenaicafrom Libya have been investigated on light and scanning electron microscope. Bellis sylvestrisvar. cyrenaicais an endemic species from Libya and limited information about the native taxon. All morphological, anatomical and palynological characteristics are firstly determined in this study. Palynology study showed that pollen characters were found medium size, oblate spheroidal, tricolporate and echinate ornamentation of the studied taxon. Seed micromorphological features were also given Keywords: Endemic Bellis sylvestrisvarcyrenaica., Asteraceae, Morphology, Anatomy, Palynology,Libya. 1. INTRODUCTION Bellis L. popularly is known as Daisy flower belonging to the family Asteraceae and has been included in subtribe Asterinae -tribe Astereae (Bremer, 1994). This genus also known as a traditional wound herb (Ai- Douri and Al-Essa 2010) and it was used for the treatment of bruises, broken bones and wounds (Mitich 1997).
