Dade County Native Plant Communities DADE COUNTY NATIVE PLANT COMMUNITIES ROCKLANDS = AREAS 8 & 9 8. PINE ROCKLANDS These are open woodlands of South Florida slash pine with an understory of palms, tropical shrubs, grasses, and wildflowers growing on outcrops of limestone. Under natural conditions this community is maintained by periodic fire. Soils over the limestone bedrock are generally thin, and composed of marl and/or siliceous sand. The pH is neutral to slightly alkaline, organic content is low, fertility is low to moderate, and salinity is generally low. Available water capacity is low to moderate. Primary locations in Dade County are from the south entrance of Everglades National Park north to the entrance of the Miami River.

ROCKLAND HAMMOCK These broadleaf, mostly evergreen, closed forests are dominated by tropical tree species growing on outcrops of limestone. Under natural conditions this community is rarely subject to fire. Soils over the limestone bedrock are generally thin, composed of marl and/or siliceous sand and organic material. The pH is neutral to acid, organic content is high, primarily on the surface. Fertility is moderate to high, and salinity is generally low. The available water capacity is moderate to high. Primary locations in Dade County are at the south entrance of Everglades National Park north to the entrance of the Miami River.

    UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE NATURAL RESOURCES CONSERVATION SERVICE BROOKSVILLE, FLORIDA NOTICE OF RELEASE OF FORT COOPER GERMPLASM SPLITBEARD BLUESTEM SOURCE-IDENTIFIED CLASS OF NATURAL GERMPLASM The Natural Resources Conservation Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture announces the naming and release of Ft. Cooper Germplasm splitbeard bluestem (Andropogon ternarius Michx.). Ft. Cooper Germplasm splitbeard bluestem has been assigned the NRCS accession number 9060084. This accession was originally identified as pinewoods bluestem (A. arctatus Chapm.) and is classified as such in preliminary PMC research reports referenced in the preparation of this document. Ft. Cooper Germplasm has not been subjected to extensive regional adaptation or performance testing. It is being released to meet an identified need to increase the availability of native grass seed sources that have demonstrated high establishment potential and desirable growth characteristics for use in Florida natural area and rangeland plantings. Immediate demand for this release is considered to be high due to a lack of native grass seed sources in commercial production in the state. Collection Site Information: Seed of Ft. Cooper Germplasm was collected in 1995 by Sharon Pfaff and Mary Anne Gonter from a population of splitbeard bluestem in Citrus County, Florida using a Woodward flail-vac seed stripper (Ag-Renewal, Inc., Weatherford, Oklahoma) mounted on a tractor. The collection site was located on dry sandhills in the northern portion of Ft. Cooper State Park, near the city of Inverness (Section 21, Township 19S, Range 20E). The soil at the collection site was a Candler fine sand with 0 to 5 percent slope. Plants growing in association include longleaf pine (Pinus palustris Mill.); turkey oak (Quercus laevis Walter); sand post oak [Q.

We report here for the first time the occurrence of a member of the genus in China, Stillingia lineata subsp. pacifica. The distribution of the genus in China is apparently narrow, known only from Pingzhou and Wanzhou Islands of the Wanshan Archipelago in the South China Sea, which is close to the Pearl River estuary. This study updates our knowledge on the geographic distribution of the genus, and provides new palynological data as well. Key words: Island, Hippomaneae, South China Sea, Stillingia lineata Introduction During the last decade, hundreds of new plant species or new species records have been added to the flora of China. Nevertheless, newly described or newly recorded plant genera are not discovered and reported very often, suggesting that botanical expedition and plant survey at the generic level may be advanced in China. As far as we know, only six and eight angiosperm genera respectively have been newly described or newly recorded from China within the last ten years (Qiang et al.

  • Phytochemical Composition and Pleotropic Pharmacological Properties of Jamun, Syzygium Cumini Skeels
    Review Article Phytochemical Composition and Pleotropic Pharmacological Properties of Jamun, Syzygium Cumini Skeels Ganesh Chandra Jagetia* Department of Zoology, Mizoram University, Aizawl-796004, India Abstract Plants have been employed as medicine since time immemorial, and there has been a recent resurgence in the use of plants as medicines due to their little or no toxicity at the doses used for treatment of different ailments. This review discusses in detail the phytochemical and pharmacological activities of Jamun (Syzygium cumini), a tree belonging to family Myrtaceae, which has been credited with several medicinal properties in the traditional system of medicine, the Ayurveda. The different properties attributed to Jamun are sweet, sour, astringent, ac- rid, refrigerant, carminative, diuretic, and digestive. Research and practical use in traditional medicinal systems have found Jamun to be effective in treating leucorrhoea, gastric disorders, fever, diabetes, piles, stomachache, wounds, and dental, digestive and skin disorders. Some compounds in Jamun have antioxidant, antimicrobial, an- tiallergic, antidiabetic, antihyperlipidemic, anticancer, gastroprotective, hepatoprotective, cardioprotective and radioprotective activity. Finally, Jamun has been found to contain phytochemicals including anthroquinones, al- kaloids, catechins, flavonoids, glycosides, steroids, phenols, tannins, saponins and cardiac glycosides. The diverse activities of Jamun may be due to its abilities to scavenge free radicals, increase antioxidant status of cells by increasing glutathione, glutathione peroxidase, catalase and/or superoxide dismutase, and to attenuate lipid per- oxidation. In addition, it also suppresses the transcription of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor, Nuclear factor kappa B, cyclooxygenase, inducible nitric oxide synthase, tumor necrosis factor alpha and other proinflam- matory cytokines, accompanied by the up-regulation of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 transcription, which is involved in regulating the antioxidant status of the cells.
