  • Lectotypification of the Linnaean Name Smilax China (Smilacaceae)
    Phytotaxa 234 (2): 199–200 ISSN 1179-3155 (print edition) www.mapress.com/phytotaxa/ PHYTOTAXA Copyright © 2015 Magnolia Press Correspondence ISSN 1179-3163 (online edition) http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/phytotaxa.234.2.12 Lectotypification of the Linnaean name Smilax china (Smilacaceae) FAHIM ALTINORDU Department of Biology, Science Faculty, Selçuk University, Konya, Turkey; e-mail: [email protected] The genus Smilax Linnaeus (1753: 1028) consists of over 200 species which was widely distributed in tropical and temperate regions, especially in East Asia and North America (Qi et al. 2012, Xu et al. 2013, Qi et al. 2013). Linnaeus (1753) published 13 names under Smilax and the name Smilax china Linnaeus (1753: 1029) appears to be as yet untypified and is investigated here. Linnaeus’s protologue (Fig. 1) consists of a short diagnosis “caule aculeato teretiusculo, foliis inermibus ovato- cordatis”, and four synonyms cited from Linnaeus (1749: 461), Kaempfer (1712: 781), Bauhin (1623: 896), and Plukenet (1705: 101). FIGURE 1. Protologue of Smilax china by Linnaeus (1753: 1029). Linneaus (1753) cited no specimens under Smilax china and therefore all uncited specimens and illustrations have equal priority in lectotypification (Art. 9.12 of the ICN, McNeill et al. 2012). The Linnaean Herbarium (LINN) contains two specimens (1182.6 and 1182.7) identifiable as Smilax china. Koyama (1983: 78) treated both specimens as types, but as they are not part of a single gathering this designation cannot be accepted as effective lectotypification. The specimen LINN 1182.7 is named “Smilax china” by Linnaeus and has no Species Plantarum number, strongly suggesting that this material is a post-1753 addition to the collection and thus not original material (see Jarvis 2007) for the name Smilax china.

  • Karst Forest Odonata from Southern Guizhou, China
    International Dragonfly Fund - Report 37 (2011): 1-35 1 Karst Forest Odonata from Southern Guizhou, China Haomiao Zhang PH D student at the Department of Entomology, College of Natural Resources and Environment, South China Agricultural University, Guangzhou 510642, China. Email: [email protected] Abstract The paper compiles records from four excursions to study the Odonata fauna of southern Guizhou, China. Between 2007 and 2010 in Xiaoqikong Park and Maolan National Nature Reserve, 104 taxa have been recorded. Some interesting species are discussed, compared with sibling taxa, and information on habitats and habits is given. Introduction The Odonata fauna of Guizhou Province is poorly known and this area has not been surveyed or reported prior this study and private surveys from 2007-2010. The very rich Odonata fauna is triggered in the north by habitats in mainly upland and preserved primary forest, and in the south by relative lowland and the karst topography with its splendid diversity of water biotopes. It is estimated that the province will hold over 200 Odonata species. Many regional forest parks within the Province as well as some nature reserves are open to the public. Two of them, included within the Libo County borders, the southernmost area of Guizhou Province, were surveyed with particular focus on their Odonata fauna. These were: Xiaoqikong Forest Park – one of the most famous tourist sites, including the Zhangjiang River landscape spot and Maolan National Nature Reserve – famous among the Chinese national stage reserves for its Karst forest, waterfalls and carven (Figure 1). 2 Karst forest Odonata from southern Guizhou, China Figure 1.

  • Molecular Data and Phylogeny of Family Smilacaceae
    Pak. J. Bot., Special Issue (S.I. Ali Festschrift) 42: 111-116, 2010. MOLECULAR DATA AND PHYLOGENY OF FAMILY SMILACACEAE ZABTA K. SHINWARI1 AND SHEHLA SHINWARI2 1Dept. of Biotechnology, Quaid-i-Azam University-Islamabad 2Dept. of Botany, PMAS Arid Agriculture University, Rawalpindi Abstract Family Smilacaceae’s higher order taxonomy remained disputed for many years. It was treated as an order “Smilacales” and was also placed under Liliales by several taxonomists. Even some considered as part of family Liliacaeae. In present paper, we investigated the family’s higher order phylogeny and also compared its rbcL gene sequence data with related taxa to elucidate its phylogeny. The data suggests that its family stature is beyond dispute because of its advanced karyotype, woody climbing habit and DNA sequence data. The data suggest that Smilacaceae may be a sister group of order Liliales and it forms a clear clade with the order. Introduction The Family Smilacaceae was first recognized by Vent. However, its taxonomic status remained controversial. Smilacaceae is a small family with only 3 genera and about 320 species. (Mabberley 2008, Conran,1998) In Pakistan it is represented by one genus and 4 species including a cultivated species (Ghazanfar, 1977). This family is mainly distributed in tropics but extending to temperate regions of both the hemispheres. Bantham and Hooker, (1883); Krause (1930) considered the genera of Smilacaceae under tribe Polygonatae of the family Liliaceae But majority of the present day taxonomists treat them under an independent family Smilacaceae because of its petiolar sheath tendrils, 1-chambered anther cells, sessile stigmas and mostly climbing habit (Fig.

    Joints of Utility, Crafts of Knowledge: The Material Culture of the Sino-British Furniture Trade during the Long Eighteenth Century Kyoungjin Bae Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2016 © 2016 Kyoungjin Bae All rights reserved ABSTRACT Joints of Utility, Crafts of Knowledge: The Material Culture of the Sino-British Furniture Trade during the Long Eighteenth Century Kyoungjin Bae This dissertation examines the material culture of the Sino-British furniture trade in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. In the beginning of the eighteenth century, the British East India Company (EIC) began importing a large quantity of furniture made in Canton (Guangzhou), China. As the trade between Britain and China became standardized around 1720, this furniture became a part of the private trade carried out by merchants associated with Company. Unlike other objects of the China trade that fed into the vogue of chinoiserie, export furniture crafted with hardwoods from the Indian Ocean was produced in European designs of the time and thus was often indistinguishable from its Western counterparts. What cultural and economic values did export furniture represent in the early modern maritime trade and how did it reify the trans-regional movement of knowledge and taste between China and Britain? Going beyond the conventional perspective on export Chinese objects oriented toward European reception, I connect production with consumption in order to follow the trajectory of export furniture from its origins in the intra-Asian timber trade to its requisition and manufacture in Canton to its reception and use in both Britain and China, highlighting how this process linked the disparate spheres of commerce, knowledge production and distribution, and cultural practices.

Smilax Linn. species are used as botanical source of Chopachinee while the accepted source is Smilax china Linn. Smilax zeylanica Linn., a potential alternate source for Chopachinee , occurring in South India is pharmacognostically investigated in this paper. It is used in the treatment of abscesses, skin disorders, sores, swellings, venereal diseases and as a substitute for Sarsaparilla. The present study comprises taxonomical, macroscopical, microscopical characters, physico-chemical and ultra-violet analysis besides chromatographic studies of the rhizome and root which not only help in the identification of the drug but also contribute towards establishing pharmacopoeial standards. HPTLC finger printing of diosgenin present in the drug is carried out to establish the biomarker compound.
