  • Diversity of Nymphaea L. Species (Water Lilies) in Sri Lanka D
    Sciscitator. 2014/ Vol 01 DIVERSITY OF NYMPHAEA L. SPECIES (WATER LILIES) IN SRI LANKA D. P. G. Shashika Kumudumali Guruge Board of Study in Plant Sciences Water lilies are aquatic herbs with perennial rhizomes or rootstocks anchored in the mud. In Sri Lanka, they are represented by the genus Nymphaea L. It has two species, N. nouchali Burm. F. and N. pubescens Willd (Dassanayake and Clayton, 1996). Water-lilies have been popular as an ornamental aquatic plant in Sri Lanka from ancient times as they produce striking flowers throughout the year. In addition to these native water-lilies, few ornamental species are also been introduced in the past into the water bodies. Nymphaea nouchali (Synonym- N. stellata) N. nouchali has three colour variations, white, pink and violet blue. They are commonly known as “Manel”. According to the field observations pink flowered Nymphaea is not wide spread like others. Blue and white Nymphaea are widely spread mainly in dry zone, Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa, and also in Jaffna, Ampara, Chilaw and Kurunegala. Among these, pale blue flower Nymphaea or “Nil Manel” is considered as the National flower of Sri Lanka. Figure 01. (A)- Pale blue flowered N. nouchali, (B)- upper surface of the leaf, (C)- Stamens having tongue shaped appendages, (D) Rose flowered N. nouchali , (E) White flowered N. nouchali Some morphological characters of N. nouchali (Sri Lankan National flower) are given below and illustrated in fig. 01; A- flower, B- leaf, and C- stamens.

  • The Birds of the Dar Es Salaam Area, Tanzania
    Le Gerfaut, 77 : 205–258 (1987) BIRDS OF THE DAR ES SALAAM AREA, TANZANIA W.G. Harvey and KM. Howell INTRODUCTION Although the birds of other areas in Tanzania have been studied in detail, those of the coast near Dar es Salaam have received relatively little recent attention. Ruggles-Brise (1927) published a popular account of some species from Dar es Salaam, and Fuggles-Couchman (1939,1951, 1953, 1954, 1962) included the area in a series of papers of a wider scope. More recently there have been a few other stu­ dies dealing with particular localities (Gardiner and Gardiner 1971), habitats (Stuart and van der Willigen 1979; Howell 1981), or with individual species or groups (Harvey 1971–1975; Howell 1973, 1977). Britton (1978, 1981) has docu­ mented specimens collected in the area previous to 1967 by Anderson and others. The purpose of this paper is to draw together data from published reports, unpu­ blished records, museum specimens and our own observations on the frequency, habitat, distribution and breeding of the birds of the Dar es Salaam area, here defi­ ned as the portion of the mainland within a 64-km radius of Dar es Salaam, inclu­ ding the small islands just offshore (Fig. 1). It includes Dar es Salaam District and portions of two others, Kisarawe and Bagamoyo. Zanzibar has been omitted because its unusual avifauna has been reviewed (Pakenham 1979). Most of the mainland areas are readily accessible from Dar es Salaam by road and the small islands may be reached by boat. The geography of the area is described in Sutton (1970).

  • (LONICERA MAACKII) COMPARED to OTHER WOODY SPECIES By
    ABSTRACT BEAVER (CASTOR CANADENSIS) ELECTIVITY FOR AMUR HONEYSUCKLE (LONICERA MAACKII) COMPARED TO OTHER WOODY SPECIES by Janet L. Deardorff The North American beaver is a keystone riparian obligate which creates and maintains riparian areas by building dams. In much of the eastern U.S., invasive shrubs are common in riparian zones, but we do not know if beavers promote or inhibit these invasions. I investigated whether beavers use the invasive shrub, Amur honeysuckle (Lonicera maackii), preferentially compared to other woody species and the causes of differences in L. maackii electivity among sites. At eight sites, I identified woody stems on transects, recording stem diameter, distance to the water’s edge, and whether the stem was cut by beaver. To determine predictors of cutting by beaver, I conducted binomial generalized regressions, using distance from the water’s edge, diameter, and plant genus as fixed factors and site as a random factor. To quantify beaver preference, I calculated an electivity index (Ei) for each genus at each site. Lonicera maackii was only preferred at two of the eight sites though it comprised 41% of the total cut stems. Stems that were closer to the water’s edge and with a smaller diameter had a higher probability of being cut. Among sites, L. maackii electivity was negatively associated with the density of stems of preferred genera.

(Nymphaeaceae), a New Aquatic Species from Nile Region, Egypt Nael M. Fawzi and Safwat A. Azer Flora and Phytotaxonomy Researches Department, Horticultural Research Institute, Agricultural Research Centre, Dokki, Egypt. Received: 04 Sept. 2017 / Accepted: 19 Oct. 2017 / Publication date: 27 Nov. 2017 ABSTRACT Nymphaea nilotica Fawzi & Azer sp. nov. is illustrated and described as a new species to science. N. nilotica is related to N. mexicana Zucc. It differs from N. mexicana by the following characters: petals 30-32, carpels 13-14 and stamens about 98. N. nilotica is a rhizomatous perennial aquatic herb. It colonizes in the shallows of slow streams from a several localities in Nile region beside Waraq Island in Giza governorate. Morphological and anatomical features, distribution map, and notes on ecology of the new species are given. A key is provided to differentiate among species of Nymphaea in Egypt. Key words: Nymphaea nilotica, Nymphaeaceae, taxonomy, morphological and anatomical characters. Introduction The family Nymphaeaceae is comprised of six genera namely: Nymphaea, Nuphar, Victoria, Euryale, Baraclaya (Hydrostemma), Ondinea (Slocum, 2005; Christenhusz and Byng, 2016). The genus Nymphaea (water lily) is the largest genus of Nymphaeaceae, with approximately 50 species occurs almost worldwide (Borsch, et al., 2007). Nymphaea species are highly phenotypically plastic and possibly hybridize. This situation is clarified by the occurrence of many garden cultivars of hybrid origin (Slocum, 2005). Moreover, Volkova and Shipunov (2007) mentioned that, many Nymphaea species have numerous subspecies, chromosomal races, and forms of hybrid and artificial origin.

J. Somaiya College of Science and Commerce,Vidyanagar, Vidyavihar (E), Mumbai-400077, Maharashtra, India ABSTRACT The flowers of N. nouchali were collected from lakes in Thane district dried, powdered and extracted with Pet ether, toluene, chloroform, acetone, ethyl acetate and methanol. These crude extracts were tested for antibacterial activity by agar streak method, the extracts found to be active were subjected to Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) determination by TTC assay, the extracts were prepared according to the MIC and antibacterial susceptibility test was carried out using Agar well diffusion method. All the extracts showed antibacterial activity against the tested strains. But the polar extracts showed a greater antibacterial potential as compared to the non polar extracts. Methanolic extract was the most active. The highest activity was seen against Salmonella paratyphi A and the lowest activity was seen against Salmonella paratyphi B. The present study showed the effectiveness of the crude plant extract against the tested bacterial strains and indicates the potential use of the extract as antimicrobial agent for the control of infectious diseases. Keywords: Nymphaea nouchali, Well diffusion assay, Agar streak method, antibacterial activity.

  • Nymphaea Tetragona Georgi Pygmy Water-Lily Nymphaeaceae - Water Lily Family Status: State Possibly Extirpated, USFS Strategic Rank: G5 / SH
    Nymphaea tetragona Georgi pygmy water-lily Nymphaeaceae - water lily family status: State Possibly Extirpated, USFS strategic rank: G5 / SH General Description: Perennial aquatic herb with leaves arising from unbranched, erect rhizomes. Leaf blades floating, elliptic-oval with bases deeply lobed, hairless, green and sometimes mottled red brown to purple above (especially on young leaves), green to dull purple beneath, 3-13 (14) x 2-11 (13) cm, with 7-13 palmate veins; petioles slender. Floral Characteristics: Flowers floating, 3-7.5 cm diameter, white to pinkish with yellow centers, not fragrant. Sepals 4, uniformly green, 2-3 cm long, forming a distinct, protuding tetragon where they attach to the base of the flower. Petals 8-17. Stamens 30-70, yellowish orange and usually with some purple, filaments widest above middle. Margin of stigmatic disk with prominent, upward-curved, boat-shaped appendages, each (2) 3-4 x 2-4 mm. Blooms June to A ugust. Fruits: Berrylike, leathery, many-seeded capsules borne on curved or coiled peduncles. C apsules rupture to release a gelatinous seed mass. Seeds ovoid, about 2-3 x 1.5-2 mm, lacking papillae. Identif ication Tips: Nymphaea leibergii is similar but has a circular or only slightly angled receptacle at the insertion of the sepals. In c ontras t, N. tetragona has a prominent 4-angled receptacle defined by the swollen, straight lines of insertion of the sepals; this is best viewed from the underside of the flower. Nymphaea odorata is recognized by its rounder, much larger leaves (up to 25 cm broad), more petals (17-43), and much larger, fragrant flowers.

The genus Nymphaea (water lily) in central Europe is a good example of this in that their morphological similarity blurs the boundaries between species, which in addition are highly phenotypically plastic and possibly hybridize. The situation is further complicated by the occurrence of many garden cultivars. We used DNA flow cytometry and multivariate morphometrics (both distance-based and geometric) to obtain an insight into their phenotypic variation, identify taxon-specific characters and assess the frequency of hybridization in water lilies collected from 72 localities in the Czech Republic. For comparative purposes, we also included 34 garden cultivars. Flow cytometric measurements revealed a 45% dif- ference in the holoploid genome sizes of N. alba and N. candida, which makes it easy to reliably separate them.
