Accepted 6 May, 2011 Seeds of 48 species of Poaceae were examined for the presence of alkaloid, protein, fats and oil, inulin, starch and tannins. All taxa investigated indicated the presence of starch, fats and oils and protein and were devoid of tannins and inulin. Only 12 seed samples indicated the presence of alkaloids. The Positively indicated taxa are suggested for further investigation. Key words: Poaceae, starch, fats and oils, alkaloid, protein, tannins, inulin.

Synonymy, nomenclature and origin of plant material were sorted. The lists of species grown in the last 122 years are constructed in such a way as to show that throughout that period at least 1423 taxa of succulent plants from 254 genera and 17 families inhabited the Garden’s cold glass- house collection.

  • Bocconea 25, Results of the Seventh Iter Mediterraneum
    Bocconea 25: 5-127 doi: 10.7320/Bocc25.005 Version of Record published online on 9 July 2012 Werner Greuter Results of the Seventh “Iter Mediterraneum” in the Peloponnese, Greece, May to June 1995 (Occasional Papers from the Herbarium Greuter – N° 1) Abstract Greuter, W.: Results of the Seventh “Iter Mediterraneum” in the Peloponnese, Greece, May to June 1995. (Occasional Papers from the Herbarium Greuter – N° 1). — Bocconea. 25: 5-127. 2012. — ISSN 1120-4060 (print), 2280-3882 (online). The material collected during OPTIMA’s Iter Mediterraneum VII to the Peloponnese in 1995 has been revised. It comprises 2708 gatherings, each with 0 to 31 duplicates, collected in 53 numbered localities. The number of taxa (species or subspecies) represented is 1078. As many of the areas visited had been poorly explored before, a dozen of the taxa collected turned out to not to have been previously described, of which 9 (7 species, 2 subspecies) are described and named here (three more were published independently in the intervening years). They belong to the genera Allium, Asperula, Ballota, Klasea, Lolium, Minuartia, Nepeta, Oenanthe, and Trifolium. New combinations at the rank of subspecies (3) and variety (2) are also published. One of the species (Euphorbia aulacosperma) is first recorded for Europe, and several are new for the Peloponnese or had their known range of distribution significantly expanded. Critical notes draw attention to these cases and to taxonomic problems yet to be solved. An overview of the 11 Itinera Mediterranea that have taken place so far is presented, summarising their main results. Keywords: Flora of Greece, Peloponnese, Itinera Mediterranea, OPTIMA, new species, new com- binations, Allium, Asperula, Ballota, Klasea, Lolium, Minuartia, Nepeta, Oenanthe, Trifolium.

  • Beckmannia Eruciformis (L.) Host in Slovakia – Distribution, Ecology and Coenotic Affinity Dedicated to the Memory of Ján Bogoly (1951 – 2011)
    HACQUETIA 10/2 • 2011, 171–181 DOI: 10.2478/v10028-011-0009-3 Beckmannia eruciformis (L.) Host In SlovAKIA – dIstrIbutIon, ecoLogy And coenotIc AffInIty Dedicated to the memory of Ján Bogoly (1951 – 2011) Daniel DÍTĚ1, Pavol ELIÁŠ jun.2, Richard HRIVNÁK1 & Zuzana MELEČKOVÁ1 Abstract The historical and recent distribution, ecology and phytosociology of perennial grass Beckmannia eruciformis was studied in Slovakia between 2002 and 2010. Altogether 22 natural and two secondary sites with presence of the species were found from published sources, herbaria and field research. Localities of its native occur- rence have been concentrated in Eastern Slovakia (Východoslovenská nížina Lowland from the settlement of Streda nad Bodrogom to the villages of Pribeník and Biel). Secondary sites were found in Western Slovakia (Podunajská nížina Lowland; the surroundings of Sládkovičovo town and Jaslovské Bohunice village). The relatively massive reduction of Beckmannia eruciformis localities was recorded in the seventies and eighties of the last century; it was related to massive land reclamation and alterations in the water regime of river alluvia. Recently only seven localities were found. Permanent occurrence was confirmed only in two localities (Malý Horeš, Strážne). In those cases Beckmannia eruciformis has created relatively large populations including some thousands of individuals. All other recent occurrences were temporary (Streda nad Bodrogom, Keresztúr farmstead, Horešské lúky Nature Reserve, Veľký Horeš, Pribeník). Moreover, they were relatively poor in the number in individuals and are acutely threatened by anthropogenic changes of environmental condi- tions. According to our results and by applying the IUCN criteria, we propose to modify the threat category of the species from critically endangered (CR) to endangered (EN) in Slovakia.

Pooideae, Poaceae) we conducted a comprehensive molecular 21 phylogenetic analysis including representatives from most of their accepted genera. We 22 focused on generating a DNA sequence dataset of plastid matK gene–3'trnK exon and trnL– 23 trnF regions and nuclear ribosomal ITS1–5.8S gene–ITS2 and ETS that was taxonomically 24 overlapping as completely as possible (altogether 257 species).

Common names are Bahia grass and bahiagrass. The scientific and common names are correct and current. Varieties are Paspalum notatum var. notatum and Paspalum notatum var. saurae. The Paspalum genus is found in the Poaceae family. Parent Product 594 - Pollens - Grasses, Bahia Grass Paspalum notatum Published Data Panel I report (pg. 3124) lists, within the tribe Paniceae, the genus Paspalum, with a common name of Dallis. On page 3149, one controlled study (reference 42: Thommen, A.A., "Asthma and Hayfever in theory and Practice, Part 3, Hayfever" Edited by Coca, A.F., M. Walzer and A.A. Thommen, Charles C. Thomas, Springfield IL, 1931) supported the effectiveness of Paspalum for diagnosis. Papers supporting that Bahia grass contains unique antigens that are allergenic (skin test positive) are PMIDs.
