Intraspecific polyploidy and cytogeography were clarified in the samples of Houttuynia cordata (Saururaceae) studied in the Sino-Japanese region of eastern Asia, ranging from Nepal, China, northern Thailand, Taiwan to Japan. Five chromosome numbers of 2n=72, 80, 96, 112 and 128 were detected, four of which were firstly recorded here. These chromosome numbers suggested that the basic chromosome number of Houttuynia could be x=8. The observed cytotypes were evaluated as 2n=72, 80, 96, 112 and 128, and represented 9x, 10x, 12x, 14x, and 16x, respectively. The continental part of east Asia harbored intraspecific polyploidy ranging from 9x to 16x, and only one cytotype of 12x or 2n=96 was found from the eastern edge of the Asian continent between Taiwan and Japan. The evolution of basic chromosome number was discussed based on a phylogenetic tree of the Saururaceae, suggesting that x=11 was an archaic basic chromosome number in this family. Houttuynia may have experienced a disploid reduction from x=11 to x=8, as an autoapomorphy and subsequent intraspecific polyploidization in continental eastern Asia. KEYWORDS: Chromosome, Eastern Asia, Houttuynia cordata, Saururaceae, Sino-Japanese region Houttuynia Thunb. is monotypic and a member of the the wide distribution of this species: n=48 (Japan, Mihara Saururaceae together with three other genera of Anemopsis, 1960), 2n=24 (Taiwan, Hsu 1968), n=52-56 (Japan, Shibata Gymnotheca and Saururas (The Angiosperm Phylogeny and Miyake 1908), 2n=ca. 96 (Japan, Okabe 1934; Nepal, Group [APG II] 2003). Phylogenetic relationships of Kurosawa 1966), 2n=96 (Japan, Okada 1986), and these four genera have been reported based on DNA 2n=100-104 (unknown location, Soderberg 1927).

This in the Saururaceae by combining our original data and chromosome number confirms previous reports (Mihara previously published data. 1960; Okada 1986). MATERIALS AND METHODS The localities where H. cordata individuals were collected are shown in Table 1. Individual plants were collected in the field and cultivated in the greenhouse, Kochi Women’s University, Japan. The pretreatment, fixation, and chromosome-staining methods were described elsewhere (Oginuma and Nakata 1988). Voucher specimens were deposited in the Herbaria of Kyoto University (KYO) and Academia Sinica, Taipei (HAST). The evolutionary trend of basic chromosome number in the Saururaceae was estimated using the ACCTRAN transformation in MacClade version 3.05 (Maddison and Maddison 1992), based on the Saururacean phylogeny (Meng et al. 2003). RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Somatic chromosome numbers at metaphase in the plants collected in 14 localities were 2n=72, 80, 96, 112 and 128. Those chromosomes showed gradual variation in length, ranging from 0.6-1.6 µm (Figs. 1-8). 1) 2n=72 The ten plants collected in five localities in China (Figs. 1 and 9 [collection sites 5-8 and 10], Table 1) and two plants collected from Thailand (Figs. 2 and 9 [collection site 3], Table 1) were 2n=72, that was the first Figs. 1-8.

The lack of knowledge concerning Verhuellia is largely due to its restricted distribution, poorly known collection localities, limited availability in herbaria and absence in botanical gardens and lack of material suitable for molecular phylogenetic studies until recently. Because Verhuellia has some of the most reduced flowers in Piperales, the reconstruction of floral evolution which shows strong trends towards reduction in all lineages needs to be revised. † Methods Verhuellia is included in a molecular phylogenetic analysis of Piperales (trnT-trnL-trnF and trnK/matK), based on nearly 6000 aligned characters and more than 1400 potentially parsimony-informative sites which were partly generated for the present study. Character states for stamen and carpel number are mapped on the combined molecular tree to reconstruct the ancestral states.

(Family-Saururaceae) is an ethnobotanically important plant of North eastern region of India. It is a potential source of antioxidants and used extensively in treating number of diseases such as cancer, coronary heart disease, diabetes, severe acute respiratory syndrome, blood deficiency, dysentery, etc. This herb is sensitive to severe cold and remains dormant during winter and propagated through rhizomes. It is a good soil binder due to spreading nature of roots and leaves. The herb is generally collected from wild and occasionally cultivated as homestead plant. This has resulted great pressure on the populations occurring in the natural habitats and the plant has become endangered in many parts of North-east India. This calls for sustainable management and conservation of wild and cultivated resources of H. cordata. Keywords: Houttuynia cordata, Saururaceae, Medicinal plant, North-east India. IPC code; Int. cl.

    ANGIOSPERM PHYLOGENY GROUP (APG) SYSTEM The Angiosperm Phylogeny Group, or APG, refers to an informal international group of systematic botanists who came together to try to establish a consensus view of the taxonomy of flowering plants (angiosperms) that would reflect new knowledge about their relationships based upon phylogenetic studies. As of 2010, three incremental versions of a classification system have resulted from this collaboration (published in 1998, 2003 and 2009). An important motivation for the group was what they viewed as deficiencies in prior angiosperm classifications, which were not based on monophyletic groups (i.e. groups consisting of all the descendants of a common ancestor). APG publications are increasingly influential, with a number of major herbaria changing the arrangement of their collections to match the latest APG system. Angiosperm classification and the APG Until detailed genetic evidence became available, the classification of flowering plants (also known as angiosperms, Angiospermae, Anthophyta or Magnoliophyta) was based on their morphology (particularly that of the flower) and their biochemistry (what kinds of chemical compound they contained or produced). Classification systems were typically produced by an individual botanist or by a small group. The result was a large number of such systems (see List of systems of plant taxonomy). Different systems and their updates tended to be favoured in different countries; e.g. the Engler system in continental Europe; the Bentham & Hooker system in Britain (particularly influential because it was used by Kew); the Takhtajan system in the former Soviet Union and countries within its sphere of influence; and the Cronquist system in the United States.

Based on sep- arate and combined analyses of a morphological matrix (115 characters) and multiple molecular data sets (seven variable chloroplast loci and five more conserved genes; 14 536 aligned nucleotides), phylogenetic relationships were investigated simultaneously within Magnoliales and Myristicaceae, using Laurales, Winterales, and Piperales as outgroups. Despite apparent conflicts among data sets, parsimony and maximum likelihood analyses of combined data converged towards a fully resolved and well-supported topology, consistent with higher-level molecular analyses except for the position of Magnoliaceae: Myristicaceae + (Magnoliaceae + ((Degeneria + Galbulimima) + (Eupomatia + Annonaceae))).

  • Saururus Cernuus L. Lizard's Tail
    New England Plant Conservation Program Saururus cernuus L. Lizard’s Tail Conservation and Research Plan for New England Prepared by: Michael S. Batcher Consulting Ecologist and Environmental Planner 1907 Buskirk-West Hoosick Rd. Buskirk, NY 12028 For: New England Wild Flower Society 180 Hemenway Road Framingham, MA 01701 508/877-7630 e-mail: [email protected] • website: www.newfs.org Approved, Regional Advisory Council, December 2002 i SUMMARY Saururus cernuus L. (Saururaceae) is a perennial herbaceous plant, found in forested and open wetlands in saturated soils and in periodically inundated conditions. Saururus cernuus is found from Ontario and Quebec, through southern New England and New York, into the southern and Midwestern United States. It is abundant throughout most of this range, but appears to be on the edge of its range in New England, Kansas (S1), Ontario (S3), and Quebec (S2). Saururus cernuus is ranked as G5 (Globally secure) and is a NEPCoP Division 2 (Regionally Rare) species. In New England, it is found at one site in Rhode Island (S1), at one undocumented site in Massachusetts where it is considered extirpated (SX), and at two sites in Connecticut (S1, E). Herbarium records indicate greater abundance in Connecticut prior to the 20th century. The largest Connecticut population contains over 50,000 plants. The second Connecticut population has over 1,000 plants, and the Rhode Island population has 100-1,000 plants. Threats include alteration of natural hydrologic regimes, shading by native and non-native species, and competition by invasive species. The overall objective for Saururus cernuus in New England is to maintain one large population of 25,000 to 50,000 plants within natural communities along the Saugatuck River (CT .004) and two populations of at least 1,000 plants at existing sites in Connecticut (CT .002) and Rhode Island (RI .001).

    IAWA Journal, Vol. 22 (2), 2001: 183–192 SEM STUDIES ON VESSEL ELEMENTS OF SAURURACEAE by Edward L. Schneider* & Sherwin Carlquist Santa Barbara Botanic Garden, 1212 Mission Canyon Road, Santa Barbara, California 93105, U.S.A. SUMMARY Vessel elements in Anemopsis have simple perforation plates and alternate (sometimes scalariform) lateral wall pitting; Anemopsis has tracheids with large, densely placed pits. These conditions are in contrast with tracheary element features of Gymnotheca, Houttuynia, and Saururus, in which per- foration plates are scalariform (many with notably slender bars) and with scalariform lateral wall pitting. Porose pit membrane remnants, which can- not be seen with light microscopy, are newly reported in Houttuynia and Saururus. These porose pit membranes underline the primitive nature of vessels in Gymnotheca, Houttuynia, and Saururus. The highly specialized vessels of Anemopsis may relate to entry into seasonally dry habitats, whereas Gymnotheca, Houttuynia, and Saururus may have experienced un- broken occupancy of mesic habitats. Key words: Paleoherbs, perforation plates, Piperales, pit membranes, vessel evolution, vessel pitting. INTRODUCTION Saururaceae are a family of five genera and seven species (Heywood 1978; Takhtajan 1987): Anemopsis (one species, California); Circaeocarpus (one species, China); Gym- notheca (two species, China); Houttuynia (one species, Himalayas to Japan); and Saururus (two species, eastern North America and eastern Asia, respectively). Al- though herbs, there is appreciable secondary growth in stems of Anemopsis, some in stems of Saururus, and probably a small amount in stems of Houttuynia (Carlquist et al. 1995). The xylem of these three genera as seen by light microscopy was describ- ed by Carlquist et al. (1995), and in these descriptions, details of vessel element struc- ture were presented.
