Hyde2 1Landcare Research, Private Bag 92170, Auckland, New Zealand 2Centre for Research in Fungal Diversity, Department of Ecology & Biodiversity, The University of Hong Kong, Pokfulam Road, Hong Kong SAR, PR China Whitton, S.R., McKenzie, E.H.C. and Hyde, K.D. (2003). Microfungi on the Pandanaceae: Zygosporium, a review of the genus and two new species. Fungal Diversity 12: 207-222. Zygosporium pacificum sp. nov. and Z. pandanicola sp. nov. are introduced based on specimens identified on Pandanus leaves collected in the Pacific island nations of Niue and Vanuatu, and the Philippines, respectively. Both species are compared with presently accepted species and a key to the genus is provided. Specimens of Z. echinosporum, Z. gibbum, Z. minus and Z. oscheoides were also collected from members of Pandanaceae. Key words: anamorphic fungi, Freycinetia, hyphomycetes, key, Pandanus, taxonomy. Introduction Zygosporium was introduced with Z. oscheoides Mont. as the type species. The genus is characterised by hyphomycetes possessing darkly pigmented, incurved vesicular cells that give rise to 2-4 ampulliform conidiogenous cells. The vesicles may be stalked or sessile, borne from the side of a setiform conidiophore, or arise directly from the mycelium. The conidia are aseptate, typically ellipsoid or globose, smooth or variously ornamented and produced on ampulliform conidiogenous cells that are typically slightly upturned (Mason, 1941; Hughes, 1951). Various authors have reported that only one conidium is produced per conidiogenous cell (Mason, 1941; Hughes, 1951; Meredith, 1962).

    ISSN 1020-3435 ISSN Annon-woodnon-wood information bulletin on Non-Wood Forest Products JANUARY 2008 16 EDITORIAL The editorial for this issue of Non-Wood News has been written by Maxim Lobovikov, Chief of the Forest Products Service. Non-wood forest products play a vital part in the livelihoods of many millions of people worldwide and are becoming increasingly important as a result of population growth, logging restrictions and environmental and health concerns. It is a paradox, therefore, that NWFP information – especially statistics on NWFPs – is still scarce, scattered and insufficient. Better and more consistent data are CONTENTS urgently needed for NWFP policy research and development. Through Non-Wood News, FAO has been instrumental in highlighting the 3 Guest article many facets of the world of NWFPs – from their role in food security and % Forest apiculture traditional medicines for the poor, to their growing importance in the multimillion dollar pharmaceutical and cosmetic business.

DNA barcoding was utilized to establish an ideal locus for the rapid identification and authentication of six Pandanus species in the Philippines. A total of 17 samples representing six species with three endemic taxa were collected and analyzed. Genomic DNA was extracted from leaf samples and was used as a template to generate the DNA barcodes. The BLAST (Basic Local Alignment Search Tool) method, divergence, and NJ (neighbor-joining) analyses were conducted to determine the efficiency of each barcode. The internal transcribed spacer, a nuclear region, was initially assessed in this study; however, plastid markers showed more universality with better amplification and sequencing success rates. In terms of discriminatory power, trnH-psbA revealed a significantly higher interspecific divergence compared to its intraspecific divergence.

H. RUSBY, M.D. Honorary Curator of the Economic Collections; Member of the Scientific Directors and of the Board of Managers; Dean of the College of Pharmacy of Columbia University INTRODUCTION The plan of the Economic Museum provides for the illustration of all useful products derived directly from plants and, so far as practicable, for the presentation of characteristic specimens of the plants themselves. The United States possesses no such large general collec- tion of useful plant products as those to be found at Kew, South Kensington, Berlin, Calcutta, and other Old World centers. There are, indeed, many collections, some of them fairly large, which represent special industries, such as materia medica. Some of our larger drug houses possess extensive collections of this kind, but they are maintained chiefly for their own working purposes and are not founded on broad scientific lines. Several of our schools of phar- macy, notably that of Columbia University, strive for more j complete collections, but these are primarily designed for teaching purposes.
