  • Puncturevine Identification and Management Background Information
    Puncturevine Identification and Management Background Information History and Impacts Puncturevine (Tribulus terrestris) is also known as goathead. Puncturevine is native to southern Europe and Asia and is found throughout central Oregon. Its main weedy characteristic, as indicated by its name, are its spiky seedpods that can injure livestock, people, and pets when stepped on and can even puncture bicycle tires. Habitat Puncturevine is commonly found on disturbed sites, roadways, driveways, trails and parking areas, in overgrazed pastures, gardens and waste areas. Good soil moisture and warm temperatures are needed for germination, but after the plant is established it can tolerate dry soils due to its rapidly produced deep taproot. Seeds are primarily dormant in the first season, but may germinate the next spring. Seeds may remain viable in the soil for up to five years. Identification Plant: Puncturevine is a summer annual broadleaf that emerges as early as May and continue growth until frost. Plants generally grows low to the ground forming dense mats 2 to 5 feet in diameter. Leaves: The hairy leaves are opposite each other and divided into four to eight pairs of leaflets that are also opposite each other. Stems: Stems radiate out from a central point at the taproot. Flowers: The yellow flowers produced in the leaf axils have 5 petals and are ½ inch wide. The flowers appear as quickly as 3 weeks after the seedlings emerge and flowering continues throughout the growing season. Seeds: Following quick flowering, seeds are viable 1 to 2 weeks later however they usually stay dormant in the first year.

  • Is Guaiacum Sanctum Effective Against Arthritis? an Ethnobotany
    Is Guaiacum sanctum Effective Against Arthritis? An Ethnobotany Case by Eric Ribbens, Barbra Burdett, and Angela Green Department of Biological Science Western Illinois University Part I—Anecdotal Evidence Dr. Beth Tonoany is a tropical population ecologist who has been studying an unusual tree, Guaiacum sanctum, which once grew throughout the dry tropical forests of Central America as well as on some of the Caribbean islands. Guaiacum sanctum produces a wood called lignum vitae, and is known in Costa Rica and other Spanish-speaking countries as guayacan reál. The wood is extremely heavy because it contains extensive deposits of resin (Howes, 1949) and it will sink if placed in water (Wilson and Eisner, 1968). During World War I and II it was extensively harvested for use in the ship-building industry because the wood, which does not split easily, is self- lubricating due to its high resin content. The wood is very durable, and was in high demand for constructing bearing sleeves to support ship propellor Figure 1: Seeds of shafts (Scurlock, 1987). It has also been used for making railroad ties Guaiacum sanctum (Woods, 1951). Dr. Tonoany has been studying one of the last remaining populations of lignum vitae in the Palo Verde Nature Preserve in northwestern Costa Rica. Probably fewer than 100 trees remain in Costa Rica, most in the Palo Verde Nature Preserve. Her research has included tracking seedlings and saplings, locating and measuring adult trees, and interviewing some of the local Ticos to learn about the tree’s past history in Costa Rica. The tree, while rare now due to the dramatic conversion of tropical deciduous forest in Costa Rica into pasturelands and to selective logging of the tree for its valuable wood, was once more common, and many of the older Ticos remember that the saplings were used to make cattle switches because of the strong flexible wood in the saplings.

ABSTRACT. Introduction: The Lignum-vitae (Guaiacum sanctum; Zygophyllaceae), of Mesoamerica and the Greater Antilles, is threatened over much of its range. We evaluated whether a G. sanctum population in the Palo Verde National Park of Costa Rica is viable in the long term. Methods: Using two demographic studies, one in 1997 and the other in 2017, we estimated survival and fecundity rates for each tree age class, population growth rate (lambda), and vital rates elasticity, and we used a density-independent deterministic population model to project the long-term trend of that population.

  • Guaiacum Sanctum Country – MEXICO Original Language – English
    NDF WORKSHOP CASE STUDIES WG 1 – Trees CASE STUDY 7 Guaiacum sanctum Country – MEXICO Original language – English NON-DETRIMENT FINDINGS REPORT ON GUAIACUM SANCTUM IN MEXICO AUTHORS: Leonel López-Toledo David F.R.P. Burslem Miguel Martínez-Ramos Alejandra García-Naranjo I. BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON THE TAXA 1. BIOLOGICAL DATA 1.1. Scientific and common names Guaiacum sanctum, Linnaeus (1753). Most authors identify four or six species in the genus Guaiacum. Four different synonyms have been recognized for G. sanctum: 1.Guaiacum multijugum Stokes (1812). 2.Guaiacum guatemalense Planch. ex Vail & Rydberg likely to be an hybrid between G. sanctum and G. coulteri (Porter 1972). 3. Guaiacum sloanei Shuttl. ex A. Gray (Gray 1897, Vail & Rydberg 1910). 4.Guaiacum verticale Orteg. (Gray 1897, Vail & Rydberg 1910). Guaiacum sanctum is commonly called lignum vitae in English, and guayacan or palo santo in Spanish. Guaiacum coulteri, a very similar species to G. sanctum, is also called guayacan or lignum vitae. 1.2. Distribution Guaiacum sanctum is found in Mexico, Nicaragua, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, the United States (Florida), Costa Rica, Guatemala, Bahamas, Haiti, Cuba, Honduras, El Salvador, Trinidad and Tobago, and the Turks & Caicos Islands. In some of these countries, G. sanctum has become endangered or is virtually extinct. The Mexican populations cover a greater portion of the species’ natural range than those in any other country. There is no data available for the global population. However, a worldwide analysis of the tropical dry forest estimated a remaining range of 131,087 km2 for North and Central America including Mexico. In general this coincides with presence information of G.

  • Antibacterial Activity of Some Selected Plants of Family Zygophyllaceae and Euphorbiaceae
    Journal of Medicinal Plants Research Vol. 6(40), pp. 5360-5368, 17 October, 2012 Available online at http://www.academicjournals.org/JMPR DOI: 10.5897/JMPR12.539 ISSN 1996-0875 ©2012 Academic Journals Full Length Research Paper Antibacterial activity of some selected plants of family Zygophyllaceae and Euphorbiaceae Ghulam Dastagir 1*, Farrukh Hussain 1 and Abid Ali Khan 2 1Pharmacognosy Laboratory, Department of Botany, University of Peshawar, Pakistan. 2Centre for Biotechnology and Microbiology, University of Peshawar, Peshawar, Pakistan. Accepted 4 May, 2012 The antibacterial activity of the methanolic and n-hexane extracts of Fagonia cretica L. , Peganum harmala L. , Tribulus terrestris L. , Chrozophora tinctoria (L.) Raf and Ricinus communis L. , were investigated against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoni and Salmonella typhi. Phytochemical screening of the methanolic extract of F. cretica, P. harmala and C. tinctoria revealed the presence of saponins, phlobatannins, anthraquinones and alkaloids. Tannins and flavonoids were found in C. tinctoria and R. communis . Glycosides were found in F. cretica and P. harmala , while terpenoids and phenolics occurred in P. harmala . Group tests revealed that the methanolic and n-hexane extract of F. cretica, P. harmala, T. terrestris, C. tinctoria and R. communis had OH, carboxylic and phenolic groups. The methanolic and n-hexane extracts of F. cretica, P. harmala, T. terrestris, C. tinctoria and R. communis showed the absence of aldehyde and ketone group. The ability of the methanolic and n-hexane extracts of F. cretica , P. harmala, T. terrestris, C. tinctoria and R. communis to inhibit the growth of different bacteria has shown their broad spectrum antibacterial potential, which may be used in the management of microbial infections.
