Fritsch,3 and 2 IMBRICATE GROUP OF Suhua Shi STYRAX SERIES CYRTA (STYRACACEAE) IN ASIA1 ABSTRACT Several taxonomic treatments of Styrax (Styracaceae) exist in regional ¯oras of Asia, but the Asian species of the genus have not been comprehensively revised since 1907. To help rectify this, we conducted a taxonomic revision of the Asian species of Styrax series Cyrta with imbricate corolla aestivation. Our revision comprises 17 species with a combined distribution from Japan south to Sumatra and west to Nepal. The circumscriptions of the heretofore poorly de®ned species S. hookeri and S. serrulatus are clari®ed. Styrax agrestis var. curvirostratus is elevated to the species level, and lectotypes are selected for S. duclouxii, S. ¯oribundus, S. hemsleyanus, S. hookeri, S. hookeri var. yunnanensis, S. hypoglaucus, S. japonicus, S. limprichtii, S. macranthus, S. obassia, S. perkinsiae, S. serrulatus var. latifolius, S. shiraianus, S. supaii, and S. wilsonii. Keys, descriptions, and distribution maps are provided for all species. Key words: eastern Asia, Styracaceae, Styrax, Styrax series Cyrta. Styrax L. comprises about 130 species of trees ern Argentina and Uruguay (Fritsch, 1999, 2001). and shrubs distributed in eastern and southeastern Styrax is by far the largest and most widespread of Asia, the New World, and the Mediterranean region the 11 genera in the Styracaceae sensu Fritsch et (Fritsch, 1999).

  • Landscape Approaches for Mountain Community Sustainable Development in a Time of Climate Change
    Lijiang and Stone Village, Yunnan, China Event Report 19-22 May 2016 Landscape approaches for mountain community sustainable development in a time of climate change Policy consultation and South-South exchange workshop Author information This report was written by Krystyna Swiderska (IIED, UK). About the event The workshop on “Landscape approaches for mountain community sustainable development in a time of climate change: Policy consultation and South-South exchange” was organised by the Center for Chinese Agricultural Policy (CCAP, China), Asociación ANDES (Peru) and IIED, on 19-22 May 2016, in Lijiang and the Stone Village, Yunnan, China. The Center for Chinese Agricultural Policy (CCAP) is a leading policy research and advocacy centre in China. Our goal is to analyse policies related to agricultural research and development, natural resource and environmental issues and integrated rural–urban development, as well as policy decision support systems in China, and to help formulate practical and feasible policies for sustainable development in rural China. Asociación ANDES (Association for Nature and Sustainable Development) in Peru is a small international indigenous- led organisation that works to support indigenous peoples’ struggles for biocultural rights and self-determination, land rights and territorial development, and community-controlled and biodiversity-based food systems. ANDES' support takes the form of independent research and analysis; engendering collective action; networking at local, regional and international levels; and fostering new forms of knowledge creation, partnerships and alliance-building. IIED is a policy and action research organisation. We promote sustainable development to improve livelihoods and protect the environments on which these livelihoods are built. We specialise in linking local priorities to global challenges.

  • Impact of Traditional Culture on Camellia Reticulata in Yunnan, China Tong Xin1, Jan De Riek2, Huijun Guo3, Devra Jarvis4, Lijuan Ma1 and Chunlin Long1,5*
    Xin et al. Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine (2015) 11:74 DOI 10.1186/s13002-015-0059-6 JOURNAL OF ETHNOBIOLOGY AND ETHNOMEDICINE RESEARCH Open Access Impact of traditional culture on Camellia reticulata in Yunnan, China Tong Xin1, Jan de Riek2, Huijun Guo3, Devra Jarvis4, Lijuan Ma1 and Chunlin Long1,5* Abstract Background: Cha-hua (Camellia reticulata) is one of China’s traditional ornamental flowers developed by the local people of Yunnan Province. Today, more than 500 cultivars and hybrids are recognized. Many ancient camellia trees still survive and are managed by local peopl. A few records on cha-hua culture exist, but no studies expound the interaction between C. reticulata and traditional culture of ethnic groups. The contribution of traditional culture of different nationalities and regions to the diversity of Camellia reticulate is discussed. Methods: Ethnobotanical surveys were conducted throughout Central and Western Yunnan to investigate and document the traditional culture related to Camellia reticulata. Five sites were selected to carry out the field investigation. Information was collected using participatory observation, semi-structured interviews, key informant interviews, focus group discussions, and participatory rural appraisal (PRA). Results: Most of the ancient camellia trees were preserved or saved in the courtyards of old buildings and cultural or religious sites. Religion-associated culture plays an important role in C. reticulata protection. In every site we investigated, we found extensive traditional culture on C. reticulata and its management. These traditional cultures have not only protected the germplasm resources of C. reticulata, but also improved the diversity of Camellia cultivars. Conclusions: There are abundant and diverse genetic resources of cha-hua, Camellia reticulata in Yunnan.

Moreover, the roots of only two of them are defined by the European Union (EU) Pharmacopoeia monograph and commercially utilized by the pharmaceutical industry. Thus, this study intended to find some new sources of main triterpene saponins from Primulae radix, namely primulasaponins I and II together with the closely related sakurasosaponin. Using isolated standards, UHPLC-ESI-HRMS served to assess over 155 Primulaceae members qualitatively and quantitatively. Nine examples of plants accumulating over 5% of primulasaponin I in their roots were found. Among them, in one case, it was found as the almost sole secondary metabolite with the concentration of 15–20% (Primula grandis L.). A reasonable content of primulasaponin II was found to be typical for Primula vulgaris Huds.
