Bulletin of _ The Natural History Bfit-RSH MU8&M PRIteifTBD QENERAl LIBRARY Botany Series VOLUME 23 NUMBER 2 25 NOVEMBER 1993 The Bulletin of The Natural History Museum (formerly: Bulletin of the British Museum (Natural History)), instituted in 1949, is issued in four scientific series, Botany, Entomology, Geology (incorporating Mineralogy) and Zoology. The Botany Series is edited in the Museum's Department of Botany Keeper of Botany: Dr S. Blackmore Editor of Bulletin: Dr R. Huxley Assistant Editor: Mrs M.J. West Papers in the Bulletin are primarily the results of research carried out on the unique and ever- growing collections of the Museum, both by the scientific staff and by specialists from elsewhere who make use of the Museum's resources. Many of the papers are works of reference that will remain indispensable for years to come. All papers submitted for publication are subjected to external peer review for acceptance. A volume contains about 160 pages, made up by two numbers, published in the Spring and Autumn. Subscriptions may be placed for one or more of the series on an annual basis. Individual numbers and back numbers can be purchased and a Bulletin catalogue, by series, is available. Orders and enquiries should be sent to: Intercept Ltd. P.O.

    (Anthemis Cotula L.): an ALIEN INVASIVE SPECIES in KASHMIR HIMALAYA

EFFECT OF SEEDLING EMERGENCE TIME ON THE PERFORMANCE OF MAYWEED (Anthemis cotula L.): AN ALIEN INVASIVE SPECIES IN KASHMIR HIMALAYA I. Rashid, Z. Reshi and B.A. Wafai Department of Botany, University of Kashmir, Srinagar, J&K, India [email protected] Abstract: Biological invasions, caused by non-native invasive species are a major factor contributing to ecosystem perturbations and hence are being actively pursued worldwide. Mayweed (Anthemis cotula L.), a native of southern Europe-West Siberia is an aggressive invasive species in Kashmir Himalaya, India. Among the myriad of attributes, seedling emergence time is critical to its successful colonization of habitats with varying levels of soil disturbance. Field studies revealed that the species recruits individuals over an extended period of time from September to May. This recruitment period is interspersed by harsh snowy winter (December-February) and hence the established plants of the species are constituted of pre-winter and post-winter populations, with former contributing to the fitness component of its life history and latter to the survival component. Except for number of achenes per capitulum and achene weight, all other investigated parameters such as stem height, number of primary branches per plant and number of capitula per plant were significantly higher in individuals belonging to pre-winter population in than the individuals constituting the post-winter plants. Fecundity of pre-winter individuals was further enhanced if decapitated by a specific herbivore that results in over-compensatory growth.

E-mail: [email protected]; Telfax: +81 (0)87 898 8909. Accepted 21 November, 2019 Numerous members of the Anthemideae are important cut-flower and ornamental crops, as well as medicinal and aromatic plants, many of which produce essential oils used in folk and modern medicine, the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. These oils and compounds contained within them are used in the pharmaceutical, flavour and fragrance industries. Moreover, as people search for alternative and herbal forms of medicine and relaxation (such as aromatherapy), and provided that there are no suitable synthetic substitutes for many of the compounds or difficulty in profiling and mimicking complex compound mixtures in the volatile oils, the original plant extracts will continue to be used long into the future. This review highlights the importance of secondary metabolites and essential oils from principal members of this tribe, their global social, medicinal and economic relevance and potential. Key words: Apoptosis, artemisinin, chamomile, essential oil, feverfew, pyrethrin, tansy. THE ANTHEMIDAE Chrysanthemum (Compositae or Asteraceae family, Mottenohoka) containing antioxidant properties and are a subfamily Asteroideae, order Asterales, subclass popular food in Yamagata, Japan.

    Literature Cited

    Literature Cited Robert W. Kiger, Editor This is a consolidated list of all works cited in volumes 19, 20, and 21, whether as selected references, in text, or in nomenclatural contexts. In citations of articles, both here and in the taxonomic treatments, and also in nomenclatural citations, the titles of serials are rendered in the forms recommended in G. D. R. Bridson and E. R. Smith (1991). When those forms are abbre- viated, as most are, cross references to the corresponding full serial titles are interpolated here alphabetically by abbreviated form. In nomenclatural citations (only), book titles are rendered in the abbreviated forms recommended in F. A. Stafleu and R. S. Cowan (1976–1988) and F. A. Stafleu and E. A. Mennega (1992+). Here, those abbreviated forms are indicated parenthetically following the full citations of the corresponding works, and cross references to the full citations are interpolated in the list alphabetically by abbreviated form. Two or more works published in the same year by the same author or group of coauthors will be distinguished uniquely and consistently throughout all volumes of Flora of North America by lower-case letters (b, c, d, ...) suffixed to the date for the second and subsequent works in the set. The suffixes are assigned in order of editorial encounter and do not reflect chronological sequence of publication. The first work by any particular author or group from any given year carries the implicit date suffix “a”; thus, the sequence of explicit suffixes begins with “b”. Works missing from any suffixed sequence here are ones cited elsewhere in the Flora that are not pertinent in these volumes.

    Achene Micro-Morphology of Anthemis (Asteraceae) and Its Allies in Iran with Emphasis on Systematics

    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURE & BIOLOGY 1560–8530/2007/09–3–486–488 http://www.fspublishers.org Achene Micro-morphology of Anthemis (Asteraceae) and its Allies in Iran with Emphasis on Systematics ABDOLKARIM CHEHREGANI1 AND NATEGHEH MAHANFAR Laboratory of Plant, Cell and Molecular Biology, Department of Biology, Faculty of Sciences, Bu-Ali University, Hamedan, Iran 1Correspondence author’s e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Anthemideae is a large tribe of Astraceae and poses difficulties in recognizing and classifying its members based on morphological characters. This research was focused on evaluating achene peculiarities for systematic purpose. Achene micro- morphological characteristics such as size, shape, papuse, sulcuse, lacune, etc., were considered useful in species recognition. Lacunas characters in each studied taxa were specific and regarded as good separator character in the studied taxa of this tribe. Based on data, Tanacetum kotschyi was considered as a problematic species that needs to be studied further. Key Words: Anthemideae; Anthemis; SEM; Achene; Systematic INTRODUCTION were deposited in Tehran University Herbarium and Bu-Ali Sina University (Table I). The achenes were coated with a Anthemideae is the seventh largest tribe of Asteraceae thin layer of gold-paladium and studied with a JEOL-840 with about 109 genera and 1740 species worldwide Scanning Electron Microscope (Japan) at Sanati Sharif (Bremer, 1994; Tahir et al., 2002). The tribe and shows a University, Tehran, Iran. Achene morphological and micro- temperate distribution (Heywood & Humphries, 1977; morphological characters such as size, shape, papuse, Bremer & Humphries, 1993; Francisco-Ortega et al., 2001). sulcuse, lacune and etc., were compared with prepared The members of this tribe have been studied by several micrograph.
