In This Article We Will Discuss About:- 1. Characters of Malvaceae 2 SEM 4, CC8, Unit 7, Family: Malvaceae, Leguminosae Dr. Subhadip Chakraborty In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Characters of Malvaceae 2. Distribution of Malvaceae 3. Economic Importance 4. Affinities Characters of Malvaceae: Stellate hairs on the young parts, mucilaginous juice present, leaves alternate, stipulate, multicostate reticulate; inflorescence solitary or cyme; flower actinomorphic, hermaphrodite, hypogynous, pentamerous, with epicalyx, calyx free or united, corolla free; stamens indefinite, monadelphous; anthers monothecous, stamens united to form a tube; gynoecium many often five, syncarpous, ovary multilocular, superior, axile placentation; fruit schizocarpic carcerulus or capsule. Pollen grains large spherical, spiny and together with monothecous anthers form one of the distinguishing characters of the family The numerous stamens are supposed to have arisen by multiplication of five epipetalous members. A. Vegetative characters: Habit: The plant are generally herbs (Abutilon, Malva, Sida, Urena), shrubs (Hibiscus, Gossypium), and a few trees (Gossypium arboreum) with a mucilaginous sap in all parts. Usually young parts of the plants are covered with stellate hairs. Root: Tap, root, branched. Stem: Herbaceous (Malva) or woody (Hibiscus), branched, erect or spreading (Sida, Malva parviflora) pubescent with stellate hairs. Leaves: Alternate, petiolate, stipulate, stipules deciduous (Malva), simple, entire or palmately divided or lobed, margin wavy or serrate, apex acute, multicostate reticulate venation. B. Floral characters: Inflorescence: Solitary axillary (Hibiscus, Urena), solitary terminal (Abutilon), raceme (Althaea), panicle (Kydia). Flower: Pedicellate, bracteate, bracteolate in the form of epicalyx, hermaphrodite rarely unisexual (Napaea), complete, actinomorphic, pentamerous, hypogynous. Epicalyx: Epicalyx 3 (Gossypium), 7 to 9 (Althaea) and in a few totally absent (Abutilon, Sida). Calyx: Sepals five, connate at the base, persistent, sometimes forming a tube (Urena), valvate aestivation. Corolla: Petals 5, polypetalous sometimes slightly connate at the base with the staminal tube-thus epipetalous, large showy, twisted. Prominent veins can be observed on the petals. Androecium: Stamens indefinite, monadelphous, forming a staminal tube; epipetalous staminal tube united with the corolla, anthers monothecous, reniform, basifixed, filament short, introrse. Gynoecium: Multicarpellary usually five (Hibiscus) or ten (Althaea) indefinite (Abutilon) or 3 (Kydia); syncarpous, ovary superior, penta or multilocular with axile placentation, ovules one to many in each loculus; style one, long, passing through the staminal tube; stigma correspond to the number of carpels. Fruit: Schizocarpic carcerulus (Abutilon, Malva, Sida), capsule (Hibiscus, Gossypium), berry (Malvaviscus). Seed: Non-endospermic, in some genera seed coat is densely tomentose (Gossypium). Pollination: Entomophilous. Insects are attracted for nectar, showy nature of corolla and protandrous flowers. Floral formula: Distribution of Malvaceae: It is commonly called cotton family or mallow family. The family consists of about 85 genera and 1500 species among which 111 species found in India. The plants are almost cosmopolitan in distribution but many of which are confined to tropics and sub-tropics. Economic Importance of Malvaceae: Economically this family is of much importance because there are a number of fibre yielding plants. According to certain authorities nearly all genera can produce some or other kinds of fibres. A. Fibre yielding plants: 1. Cotton is perhaps the most important fibre inspite of many synthetic textile fibres. The seed coat of Gossypium produce epidermal hairs which is cellulosic in nature. This is cotton wool. These hairs are flattened, twisted and from the staple. Cotton plant grows best in the sandy damp soil of humid regions. Egyptian cotton is derived from G. peruvianum whose staple length is 4 7/8 cms. G. barbadense produces sea inland cotton; its staple length in 5 cms. G. hirsutum is a native American species and is also considered superior cotton. The main Indian species is G. herbaceum; its staple length is 1 7/8 cms. G. arboreun is a small tree or a large shrub. It is also cultivated in India. Cotton seed is further important for it produces an edible oil which is semidrying and useful as oleomargarine and in soap. The oil cake is also a very nourishing cattle feed. The residue is also used in washing powder, in preparation of oil cloth, artificial leather, nitroglycerine etc. 2. Hibiscus cannabinus (Hindi-Patsan, Deccan Hemp or Bilipatam Jute) produces a very valuable fibre from its stem which is used for making rope, cordage, coarse canvas, sacs, floor matting. It is thus used as a substitute for jute. 3. Hibiscus sabdariffa, (Hindi-Patwa). A strong silky brown fibre is produced from its stem. This is a good substitute for jute in textile and paper industry. 4. Other species of Hibiscus also produce fibres of minor importance. H. tiliaceous produces majanga fibres. Abelmoschus esculentus gives okra fibres. 5. Abutilon theophrasti (syn. A. avicennai) produces China jute or Indian mallow. It is extensively cultivated in China. It takes up dyes quickly and used in making rugs. 6. Urena lobata – It is a weed in all tropical countries and furnishes a yellowish fibre that lasts longer than jute and is used as a substitute at some places. In Barazil it is used for making coffee sacks. 7. Malachra capitata also produces a strong silky fibre like jute and used as a substitute. B. Miscellaneous uses: 8. Abelmoschus esculentus (Hindi-Bhindi, Eng.-Lady’s finger) fruits are used as a vegetable. 9. Hibiscus rosa-sinesis or shoe flower is widely cultivated as an ornamental plant and also used in the worship of God and Godess Kali. Althea rosea is also a garden plant with its lovely pinkish flowers. Abutilon indicum (Hindi-Kanghi) is a wild plant which is sometimes used medicinally. Malva sylvestris is also a garden plant. Urena repanda is supposed to be a cure for hydrophobia. Affinities of Malvaceae: Malvaceae is related to Sterculiaceae and Tiliaceae in having mucilaginous sap, simple alternate and stipulate leaves. According to Bentham and Hooker it differs from them in having monothecous anthers, monadelphous condition and presence of involucre or epicalyx. Hutchinson placed the single family under Malvales. Engler and Prantl put this family together with Tiliaceae, Bombaceae and Sterculiaceae in the order Malvales. Primitive characters: 1. Presence of mucilage in plant parts. 2. Some plants are shrubs and tree-like. 3. Leaves alternate, simple, stipulate. 4. Flowers solitary, hermaphrodite, hypogynous, actinomorphic and bracteate. 5. Presence of epicalyx. 6. Corolla free. 7. Gynoecium polycarpellary {Abutilon). 8. Seeds endospermic. Advanced characters: 1. Many plants are annual herbs. 2. Epicalyx absent in some genera (Abutilon, Sida). 3. Calyx gamosepalous. 4. Stamens monadelphous and anthers monothecous. 5. Gynoecium syncarpous. 6. Fruit simple. Common plants of the family: 1. Althaea – Commonly called Holly-hock and cultivated in gardens for flowers. 2. Abutilon – (H. Kanghi) A weed of road side and waste places, epicalyx absent. 3. Hibiscus rosa-sinensis – Cultivated in gardens for flowers. 4. Gossypium – Cultivated for cotton. 5. Sida – Wild herb and epicalyx absent. 6. Malva – Wild winter herb having reniform leaves and white flowers. 7. Abelmoschus – A large genus of herbs, shrubs and trees. In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Distribution of Fabaceae-Papilionaceae 2. Vegetative Characters of Fabaceae-Papilionaceae 3. Economic Importance Distribution of Fabaceae-Papilionaceae: The family is also known as Fabaceae. It includes 600 genera and 1200 spices. It is regarded as the second largest family of dicotyledons. In India the family is represented by 1100 species and 100 genea. The family divided into 3 sub-families based upon the floral characters. The 3 sub-families are considered as 3 separate families e.g. Papilionaceae, Caesalpiniaceae and Mimosaceae by many botanists. Senn (1943) on the basis of comparative wood anatomy suggests that there is not much reason and sharp differences between these sub- families to separate them. The family Leguminosae is divided into 3 sub-families as: Sub-family 1. Papilionaceae or papilionoideae: Flowers medianly zygomorphic; calyx gamosepalous, imbricate; corolla papilionaceous, vexillary; stamens 10, diadelphous or monadelphous. Sub-family 2. Caesalpinioideae: Flowers slightly irregular; calyx free or united, corolla free, imbricate; stamens 10 or few, free. Sub-family 3. Mimosoideae: Flowers actinomorphic; sepals and petals valvate; free or united, stamens 4 to many. Papilionaceae: Diagnostic features: Herbs, shrubs or trees, generally climbers; leaves alternate, stipulate, simple or compound; flower zygomorphic, hermaphrodite, corolla papilionaceous, stamens 10 or 9 diadelphous or monadelphous; carpel one, fruit legume. Distribution of Fabaceae-Papilionaceae: It is commonly called pea family. It includes 375 genera. The family is represented in India by 70 genera and 754 species. The members of this family are xerophytes, mesophytes, hydrophytes and halophytes (Desmodium lattifolium). Characters of Fabaceae-Papilionaceae: A. Vegetative Characters: Habit: The plants show great variation in habit. The plants may be herbs (Melilotus, Medicago, Trifolium), shrub, (Butea, Flemingia), climbers (Lathyrus, Pisum, Vicia), twinners (.Dolichos, Vigna) and trees (Dalbergia,

    S. M. El Naggar & N. Sawady Pollen Morphology of Malvaceae and its taxonomic significance in Yemen Abstract El Naggar, S. M. & Sawady N.: Pollen Morphology of Malvaceae and its taxonomic signifi- cance in Yemen. — Fl. Medit. 18: 431-439. 2008. — ISSN 1120-4052. The pollen morphology of 20 species of Malvaceae growing in Yemen was investigated by light (LM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The studied taxa belong to 9 genera and three different tribes. These taxa are: Abelmoschus esculentus, Hibiscus trionum, H. micranthus, H. deflersii, H. palmatus, H. vitifolius, H. rosa-sinensis, H. ovalifolius, Gossypium hirsutum, Thespesia populnea (L.) Solander ex Correa and Senra incana (Cav.) DC. (Hibiscieae); Malva parviflora and Alcea rosea (Malveae); Abutilon fruticosum, A. figarianum, A. bidentatum, A. pannosum, Sida acuta, S. alba and S. ovata (Abutileae). Pollen shape, size, aperture, exine structure and sculpturing as well as the spine characters proved that they are of high taxonom- ic value. Pollen characters with some other morphological characters are discussed in the light of the recent classification of the family in Yemen. Key words: Malvaceae, Morphology, Yemen. Introduction Malvaceae Juss. (s. str.) is a large family of herbs, shrubs and trees; comprising about 110 genera and 2000 species. It is a globally distributed family with primary concentrations of genera in the tropical and subtropical regions (Hutchinson 1967; Fryxell 1975, 1988 & 1998; Heywood 1993; La Duke & Doeby 1995; Mabberley 1997). Due to the high economic value of many taxa of Malvaceae (Gossypium, Hibiscus, Abelmoschus and Malva), several studies of different perspective have been carried out, such as those are: Edlin (1935), Bates and Blanchard (1970), Krebs (1994a, 1994b), Ray (1995 & 1998), Hosni and Araffa (1999), El Naggar (1996, 2001 & 2004), Pefell & al.

Spencer [ed.]. pp. 35-41 (2000) The Successful Biological Control of Spinyhead Sida, Sida Acuta [Malvaceae], by Calligrapha pantherina (Col: Chrysomelidae) in Australia’s Northern Territory GRANT J. FLANAGAN1, LESLEE A. HILLS1, and COLIN G. WILSON2 1Department of Primary Industry and Fisheries, P.O. Box 990, Darwin, Northern Territory 0801, Australia 2Northern Territory Parks and Wildlife Commission P.O. Box 496, Palmerston, Northern Territory 0831, Australia Abstract Calligrapha pantherina Stål was introduced into Australia from Mexico as a biologi- cal control agent for the important pasture weed Sida acuta Burman f. (spinyhead sida). C. pantherina was released at 80 locations in Australia’s Northern Territory between September 1989 and March 1992. It established readily at most sites near the coast, but did not establish further inland until the mid to late 1990’s. Herbivory by C. pantherina provides complete or substantial control in most situations near the coast. It is still too early to determine its impact further inland. Introduction The malvaceous weed Sida acuta (sida) Burman f. (Kleinschmidt and Johnson, 1977; Mott, 1980) frequently dominates improved pastures, disturbed areas and roadsides in northern Australia. This small, erect shrub is native to Mexico and Central America but has spread throughout the tropics and subtropics (Holm et al., 1977). Chinese prospectors, who used the tough, fibrous stems to make brooms (Waterhouse and Norris, 1987), may have introduced it into northern Australia last century. Today it is widespread in higher rainfall areas from Brisbane in Queensland to the Ord River region of Western Australia.
