  • Oak Diversity and Ecology on the Island of Martha's Vineyard
    Oak Diversity and Ecology on the Island of Martha’s Vineyard Timothy M. Boland, Executive Director, The Polly Hill Arboretum, West Tisbury, MA 02575 USA Martha’s Vineyard is many things: a place of magical beauty, a historical landscape, an environmental habitat, a summer vacation spot, a year-round home. The island has witnessed wide-scale deforestation several times since its settlement by Europeans in 1602; yet, remarkably, existing habitats rich in biodiversity speak to the resiliency of nature. In fact, despite repeated disturbances, both anthropogenic and natural (hurricanes and fire), the island supports the rarest ecosystem (sand plain) found in Massachusetts (Barbour, H., Simmons, T, Swain, P, and Woolsey, H. 1998). In particular, the scrub oak (Quercus ilicifolia Wangenh.) dominates frost bottoms and outwash plains sustaining globally rare lepidopteron species, and formerly supported the existence of an extinct ground-dwelling bird, a lesson for future generations on the importance of habitat preservation. European Settlement and Early Land Transformation In 1602 the British merchant sailor Bartholomew Gosnold arrived in North America having made the six-week boat journey from Falmouth, England. Landing on the nearby mainland the crew found abundant codfish and Gosnold named the land Cape Cod. Further exploration of the chain of nearby islands immediately southwest of Cape Cod included a brief stopover on Cuttyhunk Island, also named by Gosnold. The principle mission was to map and explore the region and it included a dedicated effort to procure the roots of sassafras (Sassafras albidum (Nutt.) Nees) which were believed at the time to be medicinally valuable (Banks, 1917).

Hall, Ph.D Feng Chen, Ph. D. Christina Wells, Ph. D. ABSTRACT The purpose of this research is to quantify the carcinogenic compound safrole in the traditional preparation method of making sassafras tea from the root of Sassafras albidum. The traditional method investigated was typical of preparation by members of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians and other Appalachian peoples. Sassafras is a tree common to the eastern coast of the United States, especially in the mountainous regions. Historically and continuing until today, roots of the tree are used to prepare fragrant teas and syrups.

  • Oaks (Quercus Spp.): a Brief History
    Publication WSFNR-20-25A April 2020 Oaks (Quercus spp.): A Brief History Dr. Kim D. Coder, Professor of Tree Biology & Health Care / University Hill Fellow University of Georgia Warnell School of Forestry & Natural Resources Quercus (oak) is the largest tree genus in temperate and sub-tropical areas of the Northern Hemisphere with an extensive distribution. (Denk et.al. 2010) Oaks are the most dominant trees of North America both in species number and biomass. (Hipp et.al. 2018) The three North America oak groups (white, red / black, and golden-cup) represent roughly 60% (~255) of the ~435 species within the Quercus genus worldwide. (Hipp et.al. 2018; McVay et.al. 2017a) Oak group development over time helped determine current species, and can suggest relationships which foster hybridization. The red / black and white oaks developed during a warm phase in global climate at high latitudes in what today is the boreal forest zone. From this northern location, both oak groups spread together southward across the continent splitting into a large eastern United States pathway, and much smaller western and far western paths. Both species groups spread into the eastern United States, then southward, and continued into Mexico and Central America as far as Columbia. (Hipp et.al. 2018) Today, Mexico is considered the world center of oak diversity. (Hipp et.al. 2018) Figure 1 shows genus, sub-genus and sections of Quercus (oak). History of Oak Species Groups Oaks developed under much different climates and environments than today. By examining how oaks developed and diversified into small, closely related groups, the native set of Georgia oak species can be better appreciated and understood in how they are related, share gene sets, or hybridize.

  • Sassafras in the New World and the Syphilis Exchange Written by Fred L
    Sassafras in the New World and The Syphilis Exchange Written By Fred L. Willard 6/3/2009 Latin American Studies 1492-Present, Dr. Angela Thompson Spring 2009 1 The Syphilis Exchange Syphilis and its rapid blazing spread through the Old World in the late 15th century is controversial, riddled with claims and counter-claims of how, when, and where it originated. Three theories of thought have been proffered and all have enough convincing evidence not to be discarded. The Columbian Theory has gained the most credible following theme of its origin, and places the sexually-transmitted Treponemia pallidum---the spi- rochete that causes venereal syphilis---with the Arwak Indians of Espanola. It was reported in the Relation of Fray Ramon Concerning the Antiquities of the Indians, that ―they had shared their hands with the illness as far back as their memory would go‖1. The Italian physicians Niccolo Leoniceno and Niccolo Massa were the defenders of this theory2. Many accounts place the illness, dubbed ―The French Pox‖, on the sailors that came back from the New World with Columbus3. However, another theo- ry, the Unitarian Theory, postulates that the organism which causes trepone- matosis mutated into several forms, and became a sexually-transmitted vene- real disease only after being transported from Africa into colder climates4. Supporting the above summary is that the three treponemal organisms (all spi- rochetes) most widely reported cannot be differentiated under a microscope5. In addition, if an immunity to one form of the microorganism is attained, the immunity also applies to the other manifested treponemal forms, including pallidum.

  • Tulip Tree Liriodendron Tulipifera
    Tulip Tree Liriodendron tulipifera Liriodendron tulipifera is one of the tallest trees in the eastern United States. Its native range extends from Connecticut down the eastern seaboard to northern Florida, west to Louisiana, Tennessee, Indiana, and southern Illinois. In fact, it’s the state tree of Indiana, where enormous specimens can be found with trunks up to five feet in diameter and heights in excess of 100 feet. The tree is excurrent in growth habit, having a strong central leader. Mature tulip trees often lack branches for 50 or more feet from the ground, as if the main trunk were racing toward the sunlight. The leaf’s outline strongly resembles that of a tulip, hence not only the Latin name, but also the common names of tulip tree or tulip poplar. This species is also sometimes called yellow poplar, although it is not at all related to the trees of the Populus genus such as poplars, cottonwoods, or aspens. The tulip tree’s leaves turn a brilliant yellow in the fall, which makes the species an excellent landscape centerpiece. Early yellowing of the leaves in mid-summer, however, can be a sign of stress caused by drought or poor soil conditions. Liriodendron tulipifera is a member of the magnolia family, known for showy flowers. The tulip tree is no exception, boasting erect, cup-shaped flowers that are green-ish yellow with orange bases that bloom in May. The tree also has distinctive, flattened “duckbill” buds. This is a good winter identification tool, if there are branches low enough for the buds to be seen.

  • The Phytochemistry of Cherokee Aromatic Medicinal Plants
    medicines Review The Phytochemistry of Cherokee Aromatic Medicinal Plants William N. Setzer 1,2 1 Department of Chemistry, University of Alabama in Huntsville, Huntsville, AL 35899, USA; [email protected]; Tel.: +1-256-824-6519 2 Aromatic Plant Research Center, 230 N 1200 E, Suite 102, Lehi, UT 84043, USA Received: 25 October 2018; Accepted: 8 November 2018; Published: 12 November 2018 Abstract: Background: Native Americans have had a rich ethnobotanical heritage for treating diseases, ailments, and injuries. Cherokee traditional medicine has provided numerous aromatic and medicinal plants that not only were used by the Cherokee people, but were also adopted for use by European settlers in North America. Methods: The aim of this review was to examine the Cherokee ethnobotanical literature and the published phytochemical investigations on Cherokee medicinal plants and to correlate phytochemical constituents with traditional uses and biological activities. Results: Several Cherokee medicinal plants are still in use today as herbal medicines, including, for example, yarrow (Achillea millefolium), black cohosh (Cimicifuga racemosa), American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius), and blue skullcap (Scutellaria lateriflora). This review presents a summary of the traditional uses, phytochemical constituents, and biological activities of Cherokee aromatic and medicinal plants. Conclusions: The list is not complete, however, as there is still much work needed in phytochemical investigation and pharmacological evaluation of many traditional herbal medicines. Keywords: Cherokee; Native American; traditional herbal medicine; chemical constituents; pharmacology 1. Introduction Natural products have been an important source of medicinal agents throughout history and modern medicine continues to rely on traditional knowledge for treatment of human maladies [1]. Traditional medicines such as Traditional Chinese Medicine [2], Ayurvedic [3], and medicinal plants from Latin America [4] have proven to be rich resources of biologically active compounds and potential new drugs.

(2015): The role of biodiversity conservation in education at Warsaw University Botanic Garden. – Thaiszia – J. Bot. 25 (Suppl. 1): 35-44. – ISSN 1210-0420. Abstract: The Botanic Garden of Warsaw University, established in 1818, is one of the oldest botanic gardens in Poland. It is located in the centre of Warsaw within its historic district. Initially it covered an area of 22 ha, but in 1834 the garden area was reduced by 2/3, and has remained unchanged since then. Today, the cultivated area covers 5.16 ha. The plant collection of 5000 taxa forms the foundation for a diverse range of educational activities. The collection of threatened and protected Polish plant species plays an especially important role. The Botanic Garden is a scientific and didactic unit. Its educational activities are aimed not only at university students, biology teachers, and school and preschool children, but also at a very wide public. Within the garden there are designed and well marked educational paths dedicated to various topics. Clear descriptions of the paths can be found in the garden guide, both in Polish and English. Specially designed educational games for children, Green Peter and Green Domino, serve a supplementary role.
