Subalpine Meadows of Mount Rainier • an Elevational Zone Just Below Timberline but Above the Reach of More Or Less Continuous Tree Or Shrub Cover
Sub-Alpine/Alpine Zones and Flowers of Mt Rainier Lecturer: Cindy Luksus What We Are Going To Cover • Climate, Forest and Plant Communities of Mt Rainier • Common Flowers, Shrubs and Trees in Sub- Alpine and Alpine Zones by Family 1) Figwort Family 2) Saxifrage Family 3) Rose Family 4) Heath Family 5) Special mentions • Suggested Readings and Concluding Statements Climate of Mt Rainier • The location of the Park is on the west side of the Cascade Divide, but because it is so massive it produces its own rain shadow. • Most moisture is dropped on the south and west sides, while the northeast side can be comparatively dry. • Special microclimates result from unique interactions of landforms and weather patterns. • Knowing the amount of snow/rainfall and how the unique microclimates affect the vegetation will give you an idea of what will thrive in the area you visit. Forest and Plant Communities of Mt Rainier • The zones show regular patterns that result in “associations” of certain shrubs and herbs relating to the dominant, climax tree species. • The nature of the understory vegetation is largely determined by the amount of moisture available and the microclimates that exist. Forest Zones of Mt Rainier • Western Hemlock Zone – below 3,000 ft • Silver Fir Zone – between 2,500 and 4,700 ft • Mountain Hemlock Zone – above 4,000 ft Since most of the field trips will start above 4,000 ft we will only discuss plants found in the Mountain Hemlock Zone and above. This zone includes the Sub-Alpine and Alpine Plant communities.

Diversity and Abundance of Medicinal Plants Among Different Forest-Use Types of the Pakistani Himalaya
DIVERSITY AND ABUNDANCE OF MEDICINAL PLANTS AMONG DIFFERENT FOREST-USE TYPES OF THE PAKISTANI HIMALAYA Muhammad Adnan (Born in Charsadda, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan) A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Academic Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) of the Faculty of Forest Sciences and Forest Ecology of the Georg-August-University of Göttingen Supervisor Prof. Dr. Dirk Hölscher Göttingen, November 2011 Reviewers Prof. Dr. Dirk Hölscher Prof. Dr. Christian Ammer Examiners Prof. Dr. Dirk Hölscher Prof. Dr. Christian Ammer Prof. Dr. Erwin Bergmeier ii SUMMARY Medicinal plants collected in the Himalayan forests are receiving increasing attention at the international level for a number of reasons and they play an important role in securing rural livelihoods. However, these forests have been heavily transformed over the years by logging, grazing and agriculture. This thesis examines the extent to which the diversity and abundance of medicinal plants are affected between forest-use types as a result of such transformations. In northwestern Pakistan we studied old-growth forest, degraded forests (forests degraded by logging, derived woodland, agroforest and degraded sites) and restored forests (re-growth forests and reforestation sites). An approximate map was initially established covering an area of 90 km2 of the studied forest-use types and fifteen and five plots were allocated to five and two forest-use types respectively at altitudes ranging from 2,200 m to 2,400 m asl. The abundance and diversity of medicinal plants were then assessed therein. Of the fifty-nine medicinal plant species (herbs and ferns) studied, old-growth forest contained the highest number thereof with fifty-five species, followed by re-growth forest with forty-nine species and finally, forest degraded by logging with only forty species. -
Classificatie Van Planten – Nieuwe Inzichten En Gevolgen Voor De Praktijk
B268_dendro_bin 03-11-2009 10:32 Pagina 4 Classificatie van planten – nieuwe inzichten en gevolgen voor de praktijk Ir. M.H.A. Hoffman Er zijn ongeveer 300.000 verschillende (hogere) plantensoorten, die onderling veel of weinig op elkaar lijken. Vroeger werden alle planten- soorten afzonderlijk benaamd, en was niet duidelijk hoe deze soorten ver- want waren. Tegenwoordig worden soorten conform het systeem van Lin- naeus ingedeeld in geslachten. Soorten die sterk verwant zijn aan elkaar hebben dezelfde geslachtsnaam. Geslachten worden op hun beurt weer ingedeeld in families en die op hun beurt weer in ordes, enzovoort. Op deze manier kent het plantenrijk een hiërarchisch indelingsysteem, met verwantschap als basis. Sterke verwantschap is meestal ook zicht- baar aan de uiterlijke gelijkenis. Soorten die veel op elkaar lijken en verwant zijn zitten in dezelfde groep.Verre verwanten zitten ver uit elkaar in het systeem. Om een plant goed te kunnen benamen, moet dus eerst uitgezocht worden aan welke andere soorten deze verwant is. Tot voor kort werd de gelijkenis van planten zen.

Based on this, an ethnomedicinal survey was carried out in the Lilownai valley, District Shangla, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan in summer 2008 and reinvestigated during 2010-2011.The study showed that the local population not only use indigenous medicinal plants for curing various diseases but also earn their livelihood by selling some of them in the local market. One hundred and twenty five medicinal plants are being used by local people in the study valley in which a diversified application of these species have been observed. These include (24 species) astringent and for other skin problems, (16 species) laxative, (14 species) stomachic, (14 species) diuretic, (11 species) carminative, (10 species) anthelmintic, (10 species) used in reproductive disorders, (9 species) are used in various hepatic disorders, (9 species) used in various CNS disorders, (8 species) antispasmodic, (8 species) expectorant, (7 species) antirheumatic, (5 species) antiseptic, (4 species) antidiabetic, (4 species) purgative, (4 species) aphrodisiac, (3 species)anticancer, (2 species) antihypertensive and (2 species) for ophthalmic use. -
Karymorphological and Molecular Studies on Seven Species in Polygonoideae (Polygonaceae) in Egypt
Chromosome Botany (2012) 7: 17-22 © Copyright 2012 by the International Society of Chromosome Botany Karymorphological and molecular studies on seven species in Polygonoideae (Polygonaceae) in Egypt Magdy Hussein Abd El-Twab1, Ahmed M. Abdel-Hamid and Hagar Ata A. Mohamed Department of Botany and Microbiology, Faculty of Science, Minia University 61519, El-Minia City, Egypt 1Author for correspondence: ([email protected]) Received January 22, 2012; accepted February 29, 2012 ABSTRACT. Seven species in four genera of the Polygonoideae (Polygonaceae) in Egypt were subjected to karyomorphological and molecular studies in order to identify their chromosomal characteristics and investigate their phylogenetical relationships by the conventional staining method and the 5S rDNA PCR. Seed germination after treatment with low temperature stratifi cation and acidifi cation by concentrated H2SO4 was studied. Three rates of germination were obtained in response to the cold stratifi cation and acidifi cation: 1) High in Polygonum equisetiforme, Persicaria lanigera, Pe. lapathifolia and Pe. salicifolia; 2) low in Rumex dentatus; 3) no effect in R. pictus and Emex spinosa. Variation in the chromosome complements number, length and structure were detected for Po. equisetiforme (2n=58; new count); Pe. lanigera (2n=40; new count); Pe. lapathifolia (2n=22); Pe. salicifolia (2n=60); Emex spinosa (2n=18; a new count); Rumex dentatus (2n=40); and R. pictus (2n=18; a new count). Eighteen polymorphic bands of 5S rDNA were used to determine the similarities among the taxa with the similarity coeffi cient ranging between 0.2 and 0.67. KEYWORDS: Acidifi cation, Chromosomes, 5S rDNA, Polygonaceae, Stratifi cation. The Polygonaceae is cosmopolitic to temperate regions have been widely used to elucidate generic relationships (Täckholm 1974; Boulos 1999). -

For the first time, the anti-virulence potential and the safety for human use of the ethanol extracts of two medicinal plants, Persicaria maculosa (PEM) and Bistorta officinalis (BIO), have been addressed. Ethanol extracts of both plants exhibited anti-virulence activity against the medically important opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa. At the subinhibitory concentration of 50 µg/mL, the extracts demonstrated a maximal inhibitory effect (approx. 50%) against biofilm formation, the highest reduction of pyocyanin production (47% for PEM and 59% for BIO) and completely halted the swarming motility of P. -
Koenigia Lapathifolia, the Correct Name for Koenigia Alaskana (Polygonaceae)
CACTOLOGIA PHANTASTICA 10(2) ISSN 2590-3403 22 March 2020 doi:10.5281/zenodo.3722943 Koenigia lapathifolia, the Correct Name for Koenigia alaskana (Polygonaceae) MAARTEN H. J. VAN DER MEER1 Abstract—The combination Koenigia alaskana (Small) T.M.Schust. & Reveal is illegitimate because its basionym, Polygonum alpinum alaskanum Small, is a superfluous replacement name for Polygonum alpinum var. lapathifolium Cham. & Schltdl. The correct combination, Koenigia lapathifolia (Cham. & Schltdl.) M.van der Meer, is proposed. Small (1895: 33) published P olygonum alpinum alaskanum as a replacement name for P olygonum alpinum var. l apathifolium Cham. & Schltdl., apparently because he considered the latter name an illegitimate later homonym of P olygonum lapathifolium L. However, under article 11.2 of the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (ICN; Turland & al. 2018), names have no priority outside the rank at which they are published. The limitation on this provision in article 53.3 is not applicable because it pertains only to subgeneric names and epithets below the rank of species. Hence, P olygonum alpinum alaskanum is an illegitimate later synonym of P olygonum alpinum var. l apathifolium and all combinations based on this basionym are also illegitimate. 1 Roggekamp 379 NL-2592 VV Den Haag [email protected] ORCiD: 0000-0002-5182-9615 CC BY-SA 4.0 1 CACTOLOGIA PHANTASTICA 10(2) ISSN 2590-3403 22 March 2020 doi:10.5281/zenodo.3722943 The correct combination in K oenigia L. is proposed here: Koenigia lapathifolia (Cham. & Schltdl.)

Author for correspondence: Mercè Galbany-Casals, [email protected] Abstract The Filago group (Asteraceae, Gnaphalieae) comprises eleven genera, mainly distributed in Eurasia, northern Africa and northern America: Ancistrocarphus, Bombycilaena, Chamaepus, Cymbolaena, Evacidium, Evax, Filago, Logfia, Micropus, Psilocarphus and Stylocline. The main morphological character that defines the group is that the receptacular paleae subtend, and more or less enclose, the female florets. The aims of this work are, with the use of three chloroplast DNA regions (rpl32-trnL intergenic spacer, trnL intron, and trnL-trnF intergenic spacer) and two nuclear DNA regions (ITS, ETS), to test whether the Filago group is monophyletic; to place its members within Gnaphalieae using a broad sampling of the tribe; and to investigate in detail the phylogenetic relationships among the Old World members of the Filago group and provide some new insight into the generic circumscription and infrageneric classification based on natural entities. Our results do not show statistical support for a monophyletic Filago group. -
