Creating a database of morphological characters of perianth and androecium in the 52 genera of the Oxalidales from data gained from literature revision and direct observation of living collection and herbaria. Traits to be considered are: presence or absence of calix and corolla, aestivation pattern of calix and corolla, number of stamina, number of androecial cycles, relative position of stamina cycles (alternate- opposite), direction of stamen initiation, kind of stamina proliferation (primary or secondary). La base se datos de datos generada se encuentra en lel sistema PROTEUS que está alojada en la Universidad de Viena la cual alberga información de variados proyectos de diversos laboratorios del mundo interesados en reconstrucción filogenética de caracteres florales, los que a su vez son coordinados por la iniciativa eFLOWER (www.eflower.org). La información de este proyecto se encuentra en la matriz denominada 'Oxalidales' (Fig 1) y contiene información relativa a 56 especies representando 51 géneros de las siete familias del orden Oxalidales (ver Anexo 9). Se registró información atingente a 24 variables morfolgicas florales (ver Anexo 9). El levantamiento de datos se desarrolló principalmente consultando la literatura y en base a observaciones propias. Todo dato ingresado está respaldado por al menos una referencia, en su gran mayoría bibliográfica, provenientes de trabajos de morfología y desarrollo, así como monografías taxonómicas y floras regionales. En total se ingresaron 733 registros consultando más de 100 referencias bibliográficas. La información fue recogida para cada especie en cuestión. Sólo se conideró información genérica cuando no cabía duda acerca de su validez para la especie en cuestión. Figura 1. Captura de pantalla del software PROTEUS alojado en servidores en la Universidad de Viena y accedido a través de escritorio remoto. Se muestra matriz “Oxalidales” la que alberga la información primaria registrada durante el proyecto. 2. Reconstructing the character state evolution of the abovementioned attributes using the available phylogenetic data. A partir de la matriz de datos primarias generó una segunda matriz para efectuar los análisis. Acá se seleccionaron las variables para ser sometidas a estudio y además se discretizaron aquellas variables que habían sido ingresadas como variables contínuas (funcionalidad incluida en PROTEUS). A pesar de que en un comienzo se propuso realizar este estudio en base a la información filogenética disponible, se optó por generar una filogenia ad-hoc para el estudio del grupo. Para esto se definió al menos un taxón representante por género y en colaboración con Javiera Chinga se generaron filogenias del orden en la plataforma CIPRES (https://www.phylo.org/) por procedimientos de Máxima Verosimilitud y Bayesiano. Esto determinó cuáles especies fueron escrutinadas en sus caracteres morfológicos. La reconstrucción filogenética de caracteres morfológicos fueron hechas por el método de parsimonia sobre los áboles obtenidos. En general se observa que en la base de los Oxalidales, el más parsimonioso aspecto de la flor ancestral incluye una flor pentámera, bisexual, hipogínea, de cáliz y pétalos libres con dos verticilios de estambre. Si la configuración de estos verticilios hubiera sido diplostémona u obdiplostémana desde un principio no queda claro a partir del análisis (ambiguo). De todos modos la obdiplostemonía encontrada en Oxalidaceae y Cunoniaceae se habría originado de modo independiente. En el caso de las Elaeocarpaceae, la configuración obdiplostémona quedaría en duda ya que sería más bien producto de la reducción de androceos configugrados a partir de “tripletes”. Otros caracteres florales en Oxalidales que el análisis indica como de aparición paralela son la generación de androceos poliándricos 3 veces de modo independiente en Cunoniaceae y una vez en Elaeocarpaceae, la fusión de la base de los sépalos en Cunoniaceae y Oxalidaceae y la fusión completa en Afrostyrax (Huaceae) y Crinodendron (Elaeocarpaceae). Tal vez el transcurso más inesperado de transformación de un carácter floral fue la pérdida de pétalos, que habría ocurrido sólo una vez en el ancestro del linaje que daría a lugar Elaeocarpaceae, Brunelliaceae, Cephalotaceae y Cunoniaceae (Fig. 2) y no en múltiples ocasiones como hubiese sido intuitivo esperar. Estaríamos entonces más bien en un escenario que indicaría la recuperación paralela de pétalos en estos linajes de modo independiente. Figura 2.

Patterns of flammability across the vascular plant phylogeny, with special emphasis on the genus Dracophyllum A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of philosophy at Lincoln University by Xinglei Cui Lincoln University 2020 Abstract of a thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of philosophy. Abstract Patterns of flammability across the vascular plant phylogeny, with special emphasis on the genus Dracophyllum by Xinglei Cui Fire has been part of the environment for the entire history of terrestrial plants and is a common disturbance agent in many ecosystems across the world. Fire has a significant role in influencing the structure, pattern and function of many ecosystems. Plant flammability, which is the ability of a plant to burn and sustain a flame, is an important driver of fire in terrestrial ecosystems and thus has a fundamental role in ecosystem dynamics and species evolution. However, the factors that have influenced the evolution of flammability remain unclear.

ABSTRACT Medicinal plants are commonly used by traditional medical practitioners to treat different illnesses in their everyday practices. In various diseases such as stomach ache and burning sensation, inflammation, arthritis, wounds, gonorrhoea, amenorrhea and dysmenorrhea, asthma, cough, degenerative joint disease, urinary calculus, diabetes, snake bite, Viparit Lajjalu (Biophytum sen- sitivum Linn) of the family Oxalidaceae is one of those used as traditional folk medicine. It is a small, flowering, annual herb with sensitive leaves in the opposite direction. It grows in the warmer parts of India and Nepal and in tropical Africa & Asia. Several ethano-botanical reviews illustrate the same plant’s aphrodisiac activity and sterility activity. An aphrodisiac is a drug or food that activates sexual instinct, induces desire, or enhances sexual enjoyment or efficiency. Key Words: Viparit Lajjalu, Sperm, Vajikaran INTRODUCTION There are so many therapeutic myths on different types of traditional medicine but lacking scientific study on them.6 Folklore herbal medicines are getting more attention now Most of the folklore medicines are given without doing any a day.

E-mail [email protected] Received: 17 July 2015 Returned for revision: 1 September 2015 Accepted: 23 December 2015 Published electronically: 24 March 2016 Background and Aims Obdiplostemony has long been a controversial condition as it diverges from diploste- mony found among most core eudicot orders by the more external insertion of the alternisepalous stamens. In this paper we review the definition and occurrence of obdiplostemony, and analyse how the condition has impacted on floral diversification and species evolution. Key Results Obdiplostemony represents an amalgamation of at least five different floral developmental pathways, all of them leading to the external positioning of the alternisepalous stamen whorl within a two-whorled androe- cium. In secondary obdiplostemony the antesepalous stamens arise before the alternisepalous stamens. The position of alternisepalous stamens at maturity is more external due to subtle shifts of stamens linked to a weakening of the alternisepalous sector including stamen and petal (type I), alternisepalous stamens arising de facto externally of antesepalous stamens (type II) or alternisepalous stamens shifting outside due to the sterilization of antesepalous sta- mens (type III: Sapotaceae).
