Maleae consists of economically and ecologically important plants. However, there are considerable disputes on generic circumscription due to the lack of a reliable phylogeny at generic level. In this study, molecular phylogeny of 35 generally accepted genera in Maleae is established using 15 chloroplast regions.

Sorbaria Species Cultivated in Poland
2001, vol. 46: 5964 Dominik Tomaszewski Sorbaria species cultivated in Poland Abstract: Specimens of the genus Sorbaria cultivated in Polish dendrological collections have been examined. It appears that in Poland only 3 species are cultivated: S. sorbifolia, S. kirilowii and S. tomentosa. Some supposed hybrids of S. sorbifolia and S. kirilowii or S. tomentosa have been found in the Arboretum in Kórnik and Botanical Gardens in Poznañ and Warsaw. A new, supplemented distribution map, a key to identification, and descrip- tions of the species occurring in Poland are given.

A Molecular Phylogeny of Selected Species of Genus Prunus L

Khan1 and Daniel Potter2 1Department of Plant Sciences, Quaid-I-Azam University, Islamabad, Pakistan. 2Department of Plant Sciences, University of California, Davis 95616, USA. Accepted 30 June, 2010 Prunus is found in all four provinces of Pakistan, that is, Punjab, NWFP, Sindh and Baluchistan including Azad Kashmir region. Studies on the family Rosaceae is scanty in the Flora of Pakistan and there is a lot of taxonomic work yet to be done, for the proper classification and placement of different genera under different sub-families. In the present study, the genus Prunus was studied in detail to find out the phylogenetic relationship among the 23 species of Prunus, selected from different regions of Pakistan and GenBank using maximum parsimony analysis of sequence polymorphism in nuclear ITS-9 and ITS-6 spacer DNA. The results for the internal transcribed spacer (ITS)- 9 and ITS- 6 primers confirm the work done by early phylogenetists with additions of new species from Pakistan including Prunus bokhariensis, Prunus dulcis (Mill.) D.A. Webb. (Syn. Prunus amygdalus) and Prunus cornuta (Wall. ex. Royle) Steudel. These are indigenous to Pakistan. In the ITS strict consensus results for example, the clade consisting of Laurocerasus, Padus and Cerasus subgenera are sister to the rest of the clades in the phylogenetic tree. -

SPECIES DIVERSITY OF VASCULAR PLANTS OF NANDIAR VALLEY WESTERN HIMALAYA, PAKISTAN FAIZ UL HAQ¹, HABIB AHMAD², MUKHTAR ALAM3, ISHTIAQ AHMAD¹ AND RAHATULLAH2 Department of Botany, Government Degree College Battagram, Pakistan¹ Department of Genetics, Hazara University Mansehra, Pakistan ([email protected])² Directorate Research and Planning, Hazara University Mansehra, Pakistan3 Abstract Species diversity of Nandiar Valley District Battagram, Pakistan was evaluated with special reference to vascular plant diversity of the area. Floristically the area is placed in Western Himalayan Province. It is located on the western edge of Himalayas, dominated by Sino- Japanese elements. Aim of the study was to document the vascular plant resources, conservation issues and usage of the selected plants. An ethno-botanical survey was also carried out for collecting information regarding the various indigenous uses of the vascular plants in different parts of Nandiar Valley. Field observations showed that vegetation of the area was generally threatened due to unwise of local communities. The trend of urbanization, deforestation, over grazing, habitat fragmentation, unscientific extraction of natural vegetation, introduction of the exotic taxa and habitat loss were the visible threats. Sum 402 taxa belongs to 110 families of vascular plants were evaluated. Among the 402 species reported, 237 species were herbs, 71 shrubs, 68 trees, 06 climbing shrubs, 18 climbers and 03 epiphytes. The plants were classified according to local, traditional and economic value. Based on local uses, there were 178 medicinal plants, 21 were poisonous, 258 were fodder species, 122 were fuel wood species, 37 were timber yielding plants, 41 were thatching and sheltering plants, 29 were hedge plants, 71 were wild ornamental, 100 were weeds, 47 species yield edible fruits and seeds, 43 were used as vegetable and pot herb. -

The Phylogenetic Potential of Orbicules in Angiosperms
− pISSN 1225-8318 Korean J. Pl. Taxon. 48(1): 9 23 (2018) eISSN 2466-1546 https://doi.org/10.11110/kjpt.2018.48.1.9 Korean Journal of ORIGINAL ARTICLE Plant Taxonomy The phylogenetic potential of orbicules in angiosperms Hye-Kyoung MOON* Department of Biology, Kyung Hee University, Seoul 02447, Korea (Received 21 November 2017; Revised 26 January 2018; Accepted 21 March 2018) ABSTRACT: The distribution of orbicules was investigated for eleven taxa of six genera in Lamiaceae and four taxa of three genera in Verbenaceae using scanning electron microscopy. A literature survey to evaluate the phy- logenetic potential of the orbicules and their possible correlations with tapetum types was also conducted. The orbicules are consistently absent in all investigated taxa of Lamiaceae, while small orbicules of an average size of less than 1 µm are densely distributed in Verbenaceae. In fact, orbicules appear consistently in 123 of 150 angiosperm families when investigated in at least one species. Thus, the distribution patterns of orbicules could be a useful diagnostic character in angiosperms. In addition, orbicules occur in 84% taxa of the secretory tape- tum type, while they are commonly absent in the amoeboid tapetum type (ca. 80%). The presence of orbicules may be correlated with the secretory tapetum type. However, the study of orbicules is restricted in 150 families and the tapetum type within these families can be applied for 92 families out of a total of 416 angiosperm fam- ilies. Thus, further investigation of orbicules is necessary in extended taxa to address the questions pertaining to orbicules. Keywords: orbicules, scanning electron microscopy, tapetum type, angiosperms Pollen morphological traits have been considered as useful shape of orbicules has phylogenetic significance, so orbicules diagnostic characters, since they often provide important clues are drawing keen attention in that they could be the characters to identify plant species and infer their evolutionary history. -

WOLFE U.S. Geological Survey, MS-919, Federal Center, Denver, Colorado 80225 AND WESLEY WEHR Burke Memorial Washington State Museum University of Washington. Seattle, Washington 98195 ABSTRACT Chamaebatiaria and Chamaebatia, two characteristic genera of the Californian floristic province, are traditionally placed in different subfamilies ofRosaceae , Spiraeoideae and Rosoideae, respect ively. Analysis of the foliar and reproductive characters of the extant species of these genera indicates that the two genera could be closely related and the assignment of Chamaebatia to Rosoideae invalid. Fossil leaves oflineages ofboth genera occur in the Paleogene montane floras ofthe Rocky Mountain region and provide evidence that the two lineages diverged from a common ancestor in the Eocene. The common ancestor probably was adapted to sunny habitats in mesic coniferous forest, and , during the post-Eocene, the two lineages were able to adapt to progressively drier climates. A third extant genus, the east Asian Sorbaria, also appears to be closely related to the California genera and to have been derived from the same common ancestor. -

Meconopsis horridula and Saussurea topkegolensis growing in a gully at 4500m Abstract The Bajura-Saipal Himal expedition was carried out in the Saipal Himal region of Bajura District in western Nepal by staff and affiliates from the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh (RBGE), the Government of Nepal’s Department of Plant Resources (DPR) and the University of Tokyo. The aim of the fieldwork was to collect seed, herbarium specimens, and DNA samples to support the research programmes of DPR and RBGE and contribute to the Flora of Nepal project. The expedition consisted of six members, with three from RBGE, one from DPR, one from the University of Tokyo and one from Altai State University, Russia and affiliated to RBGE to work on the Flora of Nepal. The expedition took place from 4 th -24 th August 2017, starting and finishing in Martadi, Bajura District. 571 herbarium collections and 62 seed collections were made. One new species of Potentilla and possible new Saussurea have been identified so far.
