  • Piecing Together the Biogeographic History of Chenopodium Vulvaria L
    Piecing together the biogeographic history of Chenopodium vulvaria L. using botanical literature and collections Quentin J. Groom Botanic Garden Meise, Bouchout Domain, Meise, Belgium ABSTRACT This study demonstrates the value of legacy literature and historic collections as a source of data on environmental history. Chenopodium vulvaria L. has declined in northern Europe and is of conservation concern in several countries, whereas in other countries outside Europe it has naturalised and is considered an alien weed. In its European range it is considered native in the south, but the northern boundary of its native range is unknown. It is hypothesised that much of its former distribution in northern Europe was the result of repeated introductions from southern Europe and that its decline in northern Europe is the result of habitat change and a reduction in the number of propagules imported to the north. A historical analysis of its ecology and distribution was conducted by mining legacy literature and historical botanical collections. Text analysis of habitat descriptions written on specimens and published in botanical literature covering a period of more than 200 years indicate that the habitat and introduction pathways of C. vulvaria have changed with time. Using the non-European naturalised range in a climate niche model, it is possible to project the range in Europe. By comparing this predicted model with a similar model created from all observations, it is clear that there is a large discrepancy between the realized and predicted distributions. This is discussed together with the social, technological and economic changes that have occurred in northern Europe, with respect to their influence on C.

  • A Synopsis of the Family Chenopodiaceae in India
    Pleione 6(2): 273 - 297. 2012. ISSN: 0973-9467 © East Himalayan Society for Spermatophyte Taxonomy A synopsis of the Family Chenopodiaceae in India T. K. Paul Botanical Survey of India, Central National Herbarium, Howrah-711103, India E- mail: [email protected] Received revised 07.12.2012; Accepted 11.12.2012 Abstract The present paper presents a concise account of Chenopodiaceae in India. In all 19 genera with 50 species, 1 subspecies, 3 varieties have been recognized and another 2 genera and 14 species are cultivated or introduced. The genera and species are arranged in alphabetical order. Within the enumeration Key to genera and species, correct nomenclature, reference to type materials wherever available, phenology and distribution also have been added. Key words: India, Chenopodiaceae, Synopsis, comb. et stat. nov. INTRODUCTION The plants of Chenopodiaceae Ventenat, commonly known as ‘Goosefoot’ family, are mostly grow as weed and some are food plants like spinach, chard, beets, sugar beet and quinoa. The family is placed in the order Caryophyllales by Cronquist (1981), Takhtajan (1969) and Dahlgren (1975). Hutchinson (1959) and Thorne (1968, 1992) included the family in the order Chenopodiales, Ulbrich in Engler & Prantl (1934) in the order Centrospermae and Bentham & Hooker (1880) in the series Curvembryeae. Bentham & Hooker (1880) divided the family into two series, cyclobeae and spirolobeae. Cyclobeae is characterized by annular embryo, albumen copious whereas in spirolobeae the embryo is spiral and albumen scanty or absent. Williams & Ford-Lloyd (1974) recognised three subfamilies: Chenopodieae (embryo cyclical, operculum absent, endosperm absent, ovary superior), Salsoleae (embryo spiral, operculum absent, endosperm absent, ovary superior), Beteae (embryo cyclical, operculum present in fruit, endosperm present, ovary semi-inferior).

It includes the correct nomenclature and authorship of the taxon’s name, as well as the reference of its original publication. According to this Census, the Tasmanian flora contains 2726 vascular plants, of which 1920 (70%) are considered native and 808 (30%) have naturalised from elsewhere. Among the native taxa, 533 (28%) are endemic to the State. Forty-eight of the State’s exotic taxa are considered sparingly naturalised, and are known only from a small number of populations. Twenty-three native taxa are recognised as extinct, whereas eight naturalised taxa are considered to have either not persisted in Tasmania or have been eradicated.

Jalal Aliyev was a distinguished and respected plant biologist of our time, a great teacher, and great human being. He was a pioneer of photosynthesis research in Azerbaijan. Academician Aliyev was deeply involved in dynamic research on several aspects of photosynthesis for 65 years; he focused mainly on the important crop wheat; this research was integrative in its approach, involving physiological, biophysical, biochemical, and the molecular-genetic bases of plant productivity, as well as on the production processes of the structural-functional organization of plants-from the molecular level to the whole plant. Jalal Aliyev instigated also the development of new directions of research, namely molecular biology, molecular genetics, gene and cellular biotechnology, mathematical and computational biology, and bioinformatics as applied to crop productivity in Azerbaijan.

  • Flora of South Australia 5Th Edition | Edited by Jürgen Kellermann
    Flora of South Australia 5th Edition | Edited by Jürgen Kellermann CHENOPODIACEAE1 P.G. Wilson2 (up-dated by R.J. Chinnock3) Herbs or shrubs, glabrous or pubescent, sometimes glandular; leaves usually alternate, simple, often succulent, exstipulate, in the Salicornieae (samphires) opposite and reduced to small lobes at the apex of jointed internodes. Inflorescence of compact or open cymes or panicles, or reduced to solitary axillary flowers; flowers small, bisexual or unisexual; perianth of 1 whorl, 5-lobed, or reduced to 4–1 lobes; in fruit sometimes succulent or woody, often enlarged and developing wings, spines or tubercles; stamens opposite and equal in number to the perianth lobes or fewer, hypogynous or attached to the wall of the perianth; anthers bilocular, dehiscing by longitudinal slits; ovary superior (semi-inferior in Beta), unilocular; stigmas usually 2 or 3; ovule solitary, basal, campylotropous to amphitropous. Fruit with a membranous crustaceous or succulent pericarp; seed often lenticular; testa membranous to crustaceous; embryo straight, curved, horseshoe-shaped, annular or spiral; albumen (perisperm) absent to abundant. Chenopods. Cosmopolitan with over 100 genera and 1,500 species; frequently found in saline environments. Mabberley (2008) placed Chenopodiaceae in synonomy under Amaranthaceae. He stated that he broadly followed The families and genera of vascular plants published from 1991 onwards by Kubitzki et. al., but modified this classification by taking into account more recent findings resulting from molecular systematics published by the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (1998, 2003) and P.F. Stevens’ Angiosperm Phylogeny Website (2001–). Shepherd (2008) has drawn attention to the fact that the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group did not include all the data from relevant studies at the time and that the findings were in most cases based on relatively small numbers of genera and species using few gene regions, predominantly cpDNA.

  • The Names of Plants, Third Edition
    THE NAMES OF PLANTS The Names of Plants is a handy, two-part reference book for the botanist and amateur gardener. The book begins by documenting the historical problems associated with an ever-increasing number of common names of plants and the resolution of these problems through the introduction of International Codes for both botanical and horticultural nomenclature. It also outlines the rules to be followed when plant breeders name a new species or cultivar of plant. The second part of the book comprises an alphabetical glossary of generic and specific plant names, and components of these, from which the reader may interpret the existing names of plants and construct new names. For the third edition, the book has been updated to include explanations of the International Codes for both Botanical Nomen- clature (2000) and Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants (1995). The glossary has similarly been expanded to incorporate many more commemorative names.
