  • Structure, Biology and Chemistry of Plumbago Auriculata (Plumbaginaceae)
    Structure, Biology and Chemistry of Plumbago auriculata (Plumbaginaceae) By Karishma Singh A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the academic requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Biolgical Sciences School of Life Sciences College of Agriculture, Engineering and Science University of Kwa-Zulu Natal Westville Durban South Africa 30 November 2017 i DEDICATION To my daughter Ardraya Naidoo, she has given me the strength and encouragement to excel and be a positive role model for her. “Laying Down the Footsteps She Can Be Proud To Follow” ii ABSTRACT Plumbago auriculata Lam. is endemic to South Africa and is often cultivated for its ornamental and medicinal uses throughout the world. Belonging to the family Plumbaginaceae this species contains specialized secretory structures on the leaves and calyces. This study focused on the micromorphological, chemical and biological aspects of the species. Micromorphological studies revealed the presence of salt glands on the adaxial and abaxial surface of leaves and two types of trichomes on the calyces. “Transefer cells” were reported for the first time in the genus. The secretory process of the salt glands was further enhanced by the presence of mitochondria, ribosomes, vacuoles, dictyosomes and rough endoplasmic reticulum cisternae. Histochemical and phytochemical studies revealed the presence of important secondary metabolites that possess many medicinal properties which were further analyzed by Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MC) identifying the composition of compounds in the leaf and calyx extracts. A novel attempt at synthesizing silver nanoparticles proved leaf and calyx extracts to be efficient reducing and capping agents that further displayed good antibacterial activity against gram- positive and gram-negative bacteria.

  • Comparative Lm and Sem Studies of Glandular Trichomes on the Calyx of Flowers of Two Species of Plumbago Linn
    Plant Archives Vol. 17 No. 2, 2017 pp. 948-954 ISSN 0972-5210 COMPARATIVE LM AND SEM STUDIES OF GLANDULAR TRICHOMES ON THE CALYX OF FLOWERS OF TWO SPECIES OF PLUMBAGO LINN. Smita S. Chaudhari and G. S.Chaudhari1 Department of Botany, Dr. A. G. D. Bendale Mahila Mahavidyalaya, Jalgaon (Maharashtra), India. 1P. G. Department of Botany, M. J. College, Jalgaon (Maharashtra), India. Abstract LM and SEM investigation of calyx of flowers of Plumbago zeylanica Linn. and Plumbago auriculata Lam. has shown two types of trichomes-glandular trichomes and unicellular trichomes. Basic structure of glandular trichomes in both taxa is same. Each trichome show multicellular stalk and head. The stalk penetrates the head. Heads of glandular trichomes in Plumbago zeylanica are colourless and translucent but in Plumbago auriculata colourless translucent as well as purple heads are noticed. In Plumbago zeylanica glandular trichomes have higher density, present throughout the length of calyx, distributed in random manner, oriented in different directions, show much more variation in lengths while in Plumbago auriculata glandular trichomes have lower density, present only in the upper part of calyx, arranged in linear fashion, tricomes in one line are oriented in the same direction, show less variation in lengths. EDAX analysis on the head of glandular trichomes of Plumbago zeylanica revealed only C, O, Mg, Al and Si but in Plumbago auriculata in addition to these elements Na, S, Cl, K, Ca, Ti, Fe were also found. Presence of glandular trichomes secreting mucilage (which is considered as adhesive trap for prey) supports the protocarnivorous nature of Plumbago. Key words : Plumbago zeylanica Linn., Plumbago auriculata Lam., glandular trichomes, LM, SEM.

Heterostyly, a genetic floral polymorphism characterized mainly by reciprocal herkogamy, may reduce this sexual conflict by increasing the precision of pollen transfer between morphs. This sexual organ reciprocity is often associated with various ancillary characters and a heteromorphic incompatibility system. Here we describe the morphometrics associated with heterostyly and ancillary characters in Plumbago auriculata. Using controlled pollination experiments, we show that this species has a heteromorphic incompatibility system. We also document the fauna of long-proboscid fly and butterfly pollinators in a P. auriculata population in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. © 2009 SAAB. Published by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

  • PLUMBAGO Plumbago Auriculata Characteristics Culture Noteworthy
    PLUMBAGO Plumbago auriculata Characteristics Type: Broadleaf evergreen Bloom Time: Flowers freely Zone: 8 to 11 Flower: Showy Height: 1.00 to 3.00 feet Sun: Full sun to part shade Spread: 1.00 to 3.00 feet Water: Medium Bloom Color: Pale blue Maintenance: Medium Culture Winter hardy to USDA Zones 8-11 where it grows best in organically rich, fertile, well-drained soils in full sun to part shade. In cooler areas, grow in pots/containers which must be overwintered indoors. May be grown as a rounded shrub or trained with ties on a trellis as a vine. Site in locations protected from strong winds. During the growing season, it does best in consistently moist soils, but established plants are quite tolerant of some drought. When overwintering as a houseplant, bring indoors before first fall frost to a bright sunny room. Cut back stems hard in late winter to encourage new growth for the coming season. May be easily grown from seed, but plants generally will not flower until the second year. Noteworthy Characteristics Plumbago auriculata, commonly called cape leadwort or cape plumbago is a native to South Africa. It is a weak-stemmed perennial evergreen shrub that grows 6-7’ tall and 8-10’ wide in its native habitat. It more typically will grow 1-3’ per year and is often kept relatively compact through periodic prunings and/or a hard annual pruning. Features clusters (terminal racemes) of pale blue phlox-like flowers that bloom freely throughout the growing season. Flowers are followed by barbed fruit capsules. Oblong to oblanceolate green leaves (to 3” long) have ear-shaped bases, hence the species name.

    Imperial Blue Plumbago Plumbago auriculata 'Imperial Blue' Height: 8 feet Spread: 10 feet Spacing: 7 feet Sunlight: Hardiness Zone: (annual) Other Names: Cape Leadwort Description: An upright climbing shrub that will form a weeping mound if left on its own, but with a trellis or wall it will reach ten feet; stunning blue flower clusters bloom nearly year round; will die back to the ground in zone 8; Imperial Blue Plumbago flowers an excellent container plant Photo courtesy of NetPS Plant Finder Ornamental Features Imperial Blue Plumbago features showy clusters of sky blue flowers at the ends of the branches from early spring to late fall. Its oval leaves emerge light green in spring, turning dark green in colour the rest of the year. The fruit is not ornamentally significant. Landscape Attributes Imperial Blue Plumbago is a multi-stemmed annual with a shapely form and gracefully arching foliage. Its medium texture blends into the garden, but can always be balanced by a couple of finer or coarser plants for an effective composition. This is a relatively low maintenance plant, and is best pruned in late winter once the threat of extreme cold has passed. It is a good choice for attracting butterflies to your yard. It has no significant negative characteristics. Imperial Blue Plumbago is recommended for the following landscape applications; - Accent - Hedges/Screening - General Garden Use - Container Planting Planting & Growing Imperial Blue Plumbago will grow to be about 8 feet tall at maturity, with a spread of 10 feet. When grown in masses or used as a bedding plant, individual plants should be spaced approximately 7 feet apart.
