Received: 17 December 2019; Accepted: 21 January 2020; Published: 24 January 2020 Abstract: This is an extensive review on epiphytic plants that have been used traditionally as medicines. It provides information on 185 epiphytes and their traditional medicinal uses, regions where Indigenous people use the plants, parts of the plants used as medicines and their preparation, and their reported phytochemical properties and pharmacological properties aligned with their traditional uses. These epiphytic medicinal plants are able to produce a range of secondary metabolites, including alkaloids, and a total of 842 phytochemicals have been identified to date. As many as 71 epiphytic medicinal plants were studied for their biological activities, showing promising pharmacological activities, including as anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and anticancer agents. There are several species that were not investigated for their activities and are worthy of exploration.

  • Chromosome Numbers and Cross-Compatibility in the Genus Cymbidium and Some Related Tropical Genera (Orchidaceae)
    CHROMOSOME NUMBERS AND CROSS-COMPATIBILITY IN THE GENUS CYMBIDIUM AND SOME RELATED TROPICAL GENERA (ORCHIDACEAE) A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN HORTICULTURE AUGUST 1977 By Kenneth W. Leonhardt Dissertation Committee: Yoneo Sagawa, Chairman Haruyuki Kamemoto Henry Y. Nakasone Philip E. Parvin William L.

DISSERTATION COMMITTEE (7 'Cry^o , w A Chairman Chromosome Numbers and Cross-Compatibility in the Genus Cymbidium and Some Related Tropical Genera (Orchidaceae) Abstract Investigations on chromosome numbers and cross-compatibility were made with species and hybrids of Cymbidium and other tropical genera of the family Orchidaceae. Chromosome number determinations were made of 163 plants. One hundred nineteen counts of Cymbidium clones were made of which 92 are reported for the first time. Diploid, triploid, tetraploid, hexaploid and aneuploid individuals were determined. Triploid cultivars of two species, C. insigne 'Bierii' and C. pumilum 'Yashima' were found. Forty- four counts of intergeneric hybrids and genera other than Cymbidium were made. The hybrid status of 17 progenies of intergeneric pollinations was determined by analysis of somatic chromosome numbers. Nine plants derived from colchicine treated protocorms were identified as polyploids; 8 being euploid and 1 a mixoploid. The origin of the polyploid nature of some of the hybrids not subjected to colchicine treatments is dis­ cussed. It was verified cytologically that Cymbidium did hybridize with Ansellia and Catasetum.

  • Biodiversity Summary: Cape York, Queensland
    Biodiversity Summary for NRM Regions Species List What is the summary for and where does it come from? This list has been produced by the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (SEWPC) for the Natural Resource Management Spatial Information System. The list was produced using the AustralianAustralian Natural Natural Heritage Heritage Assessment Assessment Tool Tool (ANHAT), which analyses data from a range of plant and animal surveys and collections from across Australia to automatically generate a report for each NRM region. Data sources (Appendix 2) include national and state herbaria, museums, state governments, CSIRO, Birds Australia and a range of surveys conducted by or for DEWHA. For each family of plant and animal covered by ANHAT (Appendix 1), this document gives the number of species in the country and how many of them are found in the region. It also identifies species listed as Vulnerable, Critically Endangered, Endangered or Conservation Dependent under the EPBC Act. A biodiversity summary for this region is also available. For more information please see: www.environment.gov.au/heritage/anhat/index.html Limitations • ANHAT currently contains information on the distribution of over 30,000 Australian taxa. This includes all mammals, birds, reptiles, frogs and fish, 137 families of vascular plants (over 15,000 species) and a range of invertebrate groups. Groups notnot yet yet covered covered in inANHAT ANHAT are notnot included included in in the the list. list. • The data used come from authoritative sources, but they are not perfect. All species names have been confirmed as valid species names, but it is not possible to confirm all species locations.

    AUSTRALIAN ORCHID NAME INDEX (27/4/2006) by Mark A. Clements and David L. Jones Centre for Plant Biodiversity Research/Australian National Herbarium GPO Box 1600 Canberra ACT 2601 Australia Corresponding author: [email protected] INTRODUCTION The Australian Orchid Name Index (AONI) provides the currently accepted scientific names, together with their synonyms, of all Australian orchids including those in external territories. The appropriate scientific name for each orchid taxon is based on data published in the scientific or historical literature, and/or from study of the relevant type specimens or illustrations and study of taxa as herbarium specimens, in the field or in the living state. Structure of the index: Genera and species are listed alphabetically. Accepted names for taxa are in bold, followed by the author(s), place and date of publication, details of the type(s), including where it is held and assessment of its status. The institution(s) where type specimen(s) are housed are recorded using the international codes for Herbaria (Appendix 1) as listed in Holmgren et al’s Index Herbariorum (1981) continuously updated, see [http://sciweb.nybg.org/science2/IndexHerbariorum.asp]. Citation of authors follows Brummit & Powell (1992) Authors of Plant Names; for book abbreviations, the standard is Taxonomic Literature, 2nd edn. (Stafleu & Cowan 1976-88; supplements, 1992-2000); and periodicals are abbreviated according to B-P-H/S (Bridson, 1992) [http://www.ipni.org/index.html].

Wheat pollen grains are relatively heavy and any that are released from the flower remain viable for between a few minutes and a few hours. Warm, dry, windy conditions may increase cross- pollination rates on a variety to variety basis (see also 6 below).
