Ellison • Harvard Forest • USA • [email protected] Dozens of scientific papers about carnivorous plant research are published each year on diverse topics ranging from new species descriptions, through phylogenetic approaches in taxonomy and systematics, to ecology and evolution of botanical carnivory, biomechanics and physiology of traps, among many others. By the time a paper is published, however, it is already “old news” because the salient results often are presented months or even years earlier at scientific conferences. Such meetings are the perfect venues to discuss ongoing research and “hot” topics and present them to colleagues from around the world. The first and last authors of this report were in the lucky situation to organize symposia about carnivorous plant biology during two major conferences: Simon Poppinga chaired a one-day ses- sion—“Carnivorous plants - Physiology, ecology, and evolution”—on July 6, 2017, as part of the Annual Main Meeting of the Society for Experimental Biology (SEB) in Gothenburg, Sweden. -

Madhuca Longifolia (J.Koenig Ex L.) J
REVIEW ARTICLE A Review on Pharmacological Approach of the Therapeutic Property of Madhuca longifolia (J.Koenig ex L.) J. f. Macbr. Flower Bibha Mishra A*, Usha T Post graduate and Research Department of Foods and Nutrition, Ethiraj College for Women, Chennai-600 008, India. *Correspondence: [email protected] ABSTRACT Liver plays an important role in maintaining the metabolic function and excretion of toxins from the body. An injury or liver dysfunction caused by consumption of toxic chemicals, excessive alcohol and microbes result in a challenging condition called hepatotoxicity. Madhuca longifolia belonging to Sapotaceae family is found to possess pharmacological properties in the treatment of various diseases. The present review aims at compiling the hepatoprotective effect of Mahua flower based on various experimental studies. Methanolic extract of Mahua flower exhibited hepatoprotective property when administered at different dosages in rat was found to lower the levels of SGPT, SGOT, ALP and total bilirubin simultaneously increasing serum total proteins and albumin. The ethanolic extract also showed hepatoprotective activity against paracetamol induced hepatotoxicity in albino rats when administered in dosage of 500 and 750 mg/kg body weight by stimulating the healing and regeneration of hepatocytes. Hepatoprotective activity might be due to the effect of extractsagainst the cellular leakage and loss of function of the cell membrane in hepatocytes. The protective effect might be due to the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids and phenolics. Future prospects include purification and characterization of phyto-compounds present in the Madhucalongifolia flower. Further studies on mechanism of action will lead to discovery of novel therapeutic agents for the treatment hepatic diseases. -
Outline of Angiosperm Phylogeny
Outline of angiosperm phylogeny: orders, families, and representative genera with emphasis on Oregon native plants Priscilla Spears December 2013 The following listing gives an introduction to the phylogenetic classification of the flowering plants that has emerged in recent decades, and which is based on nucleic acid sequences as well as morphological and developmental data. This listing emphasizes temperate families of the Northern Hemisphere and is meant as an overview with examples of Oregon native plants. It includes many exotic genera that are grown in Oregon as ornamentals plus other plants of interest worldwide. The genera that are Oregon natives are printed in a blue font. Genera that are exotics are shown in black, however genera in blue may also contain non-native species. Names separated by a slash are alternatives or else the nomenclature is in flux. When several genera have the same common name, the names are separated by commas. The order of the family names is from the linear listing of families in the APG III report.

A Study on Promotion/Branding of Mahua (Madhuka Longifolia) in Chhattisgarh State
KITE/NCISRDC/IJARIIT/2018/KSBM/103 IJARIIT (ISSN: 2454-132X) A STUDY ON PROMOTION/BRANDING OF MAHUA (MADHUKA LONGIFOLIA) IN CHHATTISGARH STATE Abhinav Shrivastava1 1Asst.Professor, Kruti School of Business Management, Raipur (C.G) ABSTRACT Mahua is a tree which is found in dense forests of bastar region and is of great importance to tribal people because of its various useful outcomes. The tree is also of great commercial importance. The flower of the mahua tree is used by the people to make liquor. The liquor produced is famous for consumption among local people. It has been observed that various regions of the country has its own variety of liquor. for eg- goa is famous for its variety ‘feni’. Similarly in order to market the rural product of Chhattisgarh i.e ‘Mahua’ the government needs to promote the product by creating a Brand. This will help in its commercialization and also will create employment for rural people. Although the government of India and various states have put a ban on liquor looking it as a social evil,which is deteriorating the culture of society. But as far as the economic view is concerned the liquor market contributes to a large share of the revenue though selling mahua is ban but it is sold through unorganized channel, So for development of rural economy the government should take some measures to promote this heritage liquor of the state. Keywords- Mahua Plant, Promotion, Branding, Forest Product, Mahua flower uses 1.Introduction Whenever people talk about development of India we refer rural areas, we think about empowerment of rural population by providing livelihood to the people. -

Is Guaiacum Sanctum Effective Against Arthritis? an Ethnobotany
Is Guaiacum sanctum Effective Against Arthritis? An Ethnobotany Case by Eric Ribbens, Barbra Burdett, and Angela Green Department of Biological Science Western Illinois University Part I—Anecdotal Evidence Dr. Beth Tonoany is a tropical population ecologist who has been studying an unusual tree, Guaiacum sanctum, which once grew throughout the dry tropical forests of Central America as well as on some of the Caribbean islands. Guaiacum sanctum produces a wood called lignum vitae, and is known in Costa Rica and other Spanish-speaking countries as guayacan reál. The wood is extremely heavy because it contains extensive deposits of resin (Howes, 1949) and it will sink if placed in water (Wilson and Eisner, 1968). During World War I and II it was extensively harvested for use in the ship-building industry because the wood, which does not split easily, is self- lubricating due to its high resin content. The wood is very durable, and was in high demand for constructing bearing sleeves to support ship propellor Figure 1: Seeds of shafts (Scurlock, 1987). It has also been used for making railroad ties Guaiacum sanctum (Woods, 1951). Dr. Tonoany has been studying one of the last remaining populations of lignum vitae in the Palo Verde Nature Preserve in northwestern Costa Rica. Probably fewer than 100 trees remain in Costa Rica, most in the Palo Verde Nature Preserve. Her research has included tracking seedlings and saplings, locating and measuring adult trees, and interviewing some of the local Ticos to learn about the tree’s past history in Costa Rica. The tree, while rare now due to the dramatic conversion of tropical deciduous forest in Costa Rica into pasturelands and to selective logging of the tree for its valuable wood, was once more common, and many of the older Ticos remember that the saplings were used to make cattle switches because of the strong flexible wood in the saplings. -

ABSTRACT. Introduction: The Lignum-vitae (Guaiacum sanctum; Zygophyllaceae), of Mesoamerica and the Greater Antilles, is threatened over much of its range. We evaluated whether a G. sanctum population in the Palo Verde National Park of Costa Rica is viable in the long term. Methods: Using two demographic studies, one in 1997 and the other in 2017, we estimated survival and fecundity rates for each tree age class, population growth rate (lambda), and vital rates elasticity, and we used a density-independent deterministic population model to project the long-term trend of that population. -
