I. spuria L. subsp. musulmanica (Fomin) Takht., is one of the the 10 species of Limniris section and grows wildly in Eastern Anatolia. Plant material was collected from Van-Erciş road. Besides the morphological and anatomical investigation; oil content and methyl esters of fatty acids of the seed oils were examined in this study for the first time. Fatty Acid methyl esters were prepared according to the method of Metcalfe et al. (13) from the oil obtained by the Soxhelet apparatus with n-hexane. Analysis of the methyl esters have been carried out with GC-MS. Myristic Acid, Palmitic Acid, Linoleic Acid, Linolenic Acid, Stearic Acid, Oleic and Arachidic Acid were determined as the main fatty acids in the oil. Seeds were rich in Linoleic (40 %) and Oleic Acid (30 %). Key words: Iris spuria subsp. musulmanica, seed, morphology, anatomy, seed oil, fatty acid. Iris spuria L. subsp. musulmanica (Fomin) Takht.

    ACTA UNIVERSITATIS AGRICULTURAE ET SILVICULTURAE MENDELIANAE BRUNENSIS Volume LX 32 Number 8, 2012 SECONDARY METABOLITES OF THE CHOOSEN GENUS IRIS SPECIES P. Kaššák Received: September 13,2012 Abstract KAŠŠÁK, P.: Secondary metabolites of the choosen genus iris species. Acta univ. agric. et silvic. Mendel. Brun., 2012, LX, No. 8, pp. 269–280 Genus Iris contains more than 260 species which are mostly distributed across the North Hemisphere. Irises are mainly used as the ornamental plants, due to their colourful fl owers, or in the perfume industry, due to their violet like fragrance, but lot of iris species were also used in many part of the worlds as medicinal plants for healing of a wide spectre of diseases. Nowadays the botanical and biochemical research bring new knowledge about chemical compounds in roots, leaves and fl owers of the iris species, about their chemical content and possible medicinal usage. Due to this researches are Irises plants rich in content of the secondary metabolites. The most common secondary metabolites are fl avonoids and isofl avonoids. The second most common group of secondary metabolites are fl avones, quinones and xanthones. This review brings together results of the iris research in last few decades, putting together the information about the secondary metabolites research and chemical content of iris plants. Some clinical studies show positive results in usage of the chemical compounds obtained from various iris species in the treatment of cancer, or against the bacterial and viral infections. genus iris, secondary metabolites, fl avonoids, isofl avonoids, fl avones, medicinal plants, chemical compounds The genus Iris L.

  • THE NEWSLETTER of THB SIBERIAN, SPURIA and JAPANESE IRIS GROUP of the British Iris Society
    THE NEWSLETTER of THB SIBERIAN, SPURIA and JAPANESE IRIS GROUP of the British Iris Society No. 2 JANUARY 1978 THE OBJECTS OF THE GROUP 1. Communication between members in Great Britain and overseas. 2. A means of exchanging ideas, plants, seeds etc. 3. To assist beginners in growing iris and to offer help with problems. 4. To report on hybridisation. EDITORIAL To follow in the footsteps of the late Alex Back as Editor of the Siberian, Spuria and Japanese Iris Group presents a rather daunting task, but I am prepared to attempt it, in memory of this most dedicated man, whose work proclaimed his enthusiasm and generosity. In his first Newsletter, Alex stressed the need for communication between members, not only in Great Britain but throughout the world. Judging by the letters and literature received since June 1976 his dream is fast becoming a reality, and the Committee are deeply grateful to everyone who has written or spoken to them giving support to the Group. I myself have been growing Species Irises for some time now, with the emphasis on "Sibiricas" and "Water Iris" and I really welcome the chance to study these lovely members of the Iris family in depth. Also to hear news from other members concerning "old faithfuls" and new and exciting "finds" which we hope will come to light. The greatest reward that we who are striving to follow in Alex' fine record can hope for is that you will regard this as your own Newsletter. Let us know if you have grown Sibiricas, Spurias or Japanese Irises; your successes, your failures and anything you think will be of interest to other members.

The Xanthorrhoeaceae has the largest representation with 10 genera and 99 species. Most are endemic with a few species of Lomandra and Romnalda extending to neighbouring islands. The family includes the spectacular blackboys and grass-trees. The Iridaceae is largely represented by naturalised species with 52 of the 78 species being introduced. Many of the introductions are ornamentals and several have become serious weeds. Patersonia is the largest genus with all 17 species endemic. Some of these are cultivated as ornamentals. The Dioscoreaccae is a family of economic significance, particularly in the old world tropics where some species are cultivated or collected for their tubers and bulbils. In Australia there are 5 species, one of which is a recent introduction. The endemic and native species, commonly known as yams, are traditionally eaten by the Aborigines.

It used to be a rainforest was a rain soaked forest and a desert was a place without rain and the monsoon started on Monday and finished on Friday. But now the weather is upsetting all the past statistics making it impossible to predict accurately any likely weather patterns. We as iris growers, are doing our best to reduce carbon emissions by putting in new plants and trees but the field next door had an old oak tree felled by the gale force winds last week. I don’t know how many new trees that is worth. We are sorry that Anne is unable to write her usual Notes from the Chair. She is in hospital at the moment and we all wish her well. To fill her space, at short notice, we have included some lovely photographs from two of our members.
