ABSTRACT Rova, J. H. E. 1999. The Condamineeae-Rondeletieae-Sipaneeae complex (Rubiaceae). Botanical Institute, University of Göteborg, Sweden. ISBN 91-88896-16-1. Tribal demarcations in the Condamineeae-Rondeletieae-Sipaneeaecomplex (Rubiaceae) are inferred from phylogenies based on chloroplast trnL intron, trnL-F spacer, and rps16 DNA sequence data. Cladistic analyses of the trnL-F data and rps 16 data are presented in two separate papers, and a jackknife analysis of the combined data set (including126 Rubiaceae terminals and 738 informative characters) is presented in the thesis. It is found that the Condamineeae-Rondeletieae-Sipaneeae complex is not monophyletic. Condamineeae in a strict sense forms a poorly resolved complex together with Calycophylleae, Hippotideae, and Simireae in subfamily Ixoroideae. Rondeletieae in a strict sense belongs in subfamily Cinchonoideae. Sipaneeae is found in subfamily Ixoroideae. Anumber of genera should be transferred from Rondeletieae to the Condamineeae complex and other parts of subfamily Ixoroideae. Other genera should be transferred from Rondeletieae to Guettardeae, which is found to be the sister tribe to Rondeletieae. Support was found for a splitting of Rondeletia into several smaller genera, but the generic boundaries between some of these segregates could not be finally settled. The Portlandia-group is closely related to Catesbaeeae and Chiococceae within Cinchonoideae. Limited support isfound for aseparation of Catesbaeeae from Chiococceae.Further, subfamily Antirheoideae is shown to be polyphyletic, and only three large subfamilies should be recognized in Rubiaceae: Cinchonoideae, Ixoroideae, and Rubioideae. The taxonomic history of the tribes of central importance to this study is briefly reviewed, and systematic positions are suggested for a number of hitherto unplaced genera.

To understand the world around us, we must also establish how these objects and phenomena are A family the size of the Rubiaceae needs to be related to each other - both physically and subdivided into smaller and more manageable causally. In biology, as well as in other sciences, units in order to facilitate the understanding of the naming of things is the field of taxonomy, its diversity and evolution.

  • Keel, S. 2005. Caribbean Ecoregional Assessment Cuba Terrestrial
    CARIBBEAN ECOREGIONAL ASSESSMENT Cuba Terrestrial Report July 8, 2005 Shirley Keel INTRODUCTION Physical Features Cuba is the largest country in the Caribbean, with a total area of 110,922 km2. The Cuba archipelago consists of the main island (105,007 km2), Isla de Pinos (2,200 km2), and more than one thousand cays (3,715 km2). Cuba’s main island, oriented in a NW-SE direction, has a varied orography. In the NW the major mountain range is the Guaniguanico Massif stretching from west to east with two mountain chains of distinct geological ages and composition—Sierra de los Organos of ancient Jurassic limestone deposited on slaty sandstone, and Sierra del Rosario, younger and highly varied in geological structure. Towards the east lie the low Hills of Habana- Matanzas and the Hills of Bejucal-Madruga-Limonar. In the central part along the east coast are several low hills—from north to south the Mogotes of Caguaguas, Loma Cunagua, the ancient karstic range of Sierra de Cubitas, and the Maniabón Group; while along the west coast rises the Guamuhaya Massif (Sierra de Escambray range) and low lying Sierra de Najasa. In the SE, Sierra Maestra and the Sagua-Baracoa Massif form continuous mountain ranges. The high ranges of Sierra Maestra stretch from west to east with the island’s highest peak, Pico Real (Turquino Group), reaching 1,974 m. The complex mountain system of Sagua-Baracoa consists of several serpentine mountains in the north and plateau-like limestone mountains in the south. Low limestone hills, Sierra de Casas and Sierra de Caballos are situated in the northeastern part of Isla de Pinos (Borhidi, 1991).

Hernández, Mario Sousa and Helga Ochoterena Herbario Nacional de México, Departamento de Botánica, Instituto de Biología, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México. Apartado postal 70- 233, 04510 México D. F., Mexico. [email protected] Abstract. Trees or tree-like plants are defined here broadly as perennial, self-supporting plants with a total height of at least 5 m (without ascending leaves or inflorescences), and with one or several erect stems with a diameter of at least 10 cm. We continue our compilation of an updated list of all native Mexican tree species with the dicotyledonous families Asteraceae (36 species, 39% endemic), Leguminosae with its 3 subfamilies (449 species, 41% endemic), and Rubiaceae (134 species, 24% endemic). The tallest tree species reach 20 m in the Asteraceae, 70 m in the Leguminosae, and also 70 m in the Rubiaceae. The species-richest genus is Lonchocarpus with 67 tree species in Mexico. Three legume genera are endemic to Mexico (Conzattia, Hesperothamnus, and Heteroflorum). The appendix lists all species, including their original publication, references of taxonomic revisions, existence of subspecies or varieties, maximum height in Mexico, and endemism status. Key words: biodiversity, flora, tree definition. Resumen. Las plantas arbóreas o arborescentes se definen aquí en un sentido amplio como plantas perennes que se pueden sostener por sí solas, con una altura total de al menos 5 m (sin considerar hojas o inflorescencias ascendentes) y con uno o varios tallos erectos de un diámetro de al menos 10 cm.

  • The Pharmacological Properties of the Isolated Bioactive Compounds from Endemic Medicinal Plants of Mauritius
    The Pharmacological Properties of the Isolated Bioactive Compounds from Endemic Medicinal Plants of Mauritius A. Gurib-Fakim, D. Marie and F. Narod Faculty of Science University of Mauritius Reduit Mauritius Keywords: bioactive compounds, ethnobotany, extracts Abstract The antifungal, antibacterial as well as the ability to contract and relax toad and rate ileal strip by extracts obtained from endemic medicinal plants of Mauritius are reported. The plants tested are: Antirhea borbonica Gmel.; Chassalia coriacea Verdc. Var. coriacea (Rubiaceae), Psiadia terebinthina (Pers.) Voigt. (Asteraceae), Canarium paniculatum Lam. Benth. Ex Engl. (Burseraceae), and Erythroxylum spp. (Erythroxylaceae). The extracts of the plants from which the tannins have been removed are also tested. Attempts have also been made at isolating and characterising some of the bioactive components. The correlation of the ethnobotanical use with the presence of active components is discussed as well. INTRODUCTION Mauritius is a tropical island in the southwest Indian Ocean and has numerous plant resources. The people of Mauritius have a long standing tradition in the use of ethno-medicine and the practice of traditional medicine is still very strong in the treatment of minor ailments. The use of the flora, however, had been restricted mainly to exotic plants brought by immigrants from Africa, Madagascar, Asia and China nearly half a century ago. In a survey carried out on the traditional uses of plants both in Mauritius and Rodrigues, only a small percentage (approx. 5%) of the endemics were being used as medicinal plants (Fakim, 1990; Gurib-Fakim et al., 1995-1997). It is well established that plant-derived compounds offer potential sources of pharmaceutical agents.
