Some taxonomists adopt a broad definition of EA Aster, whereas others favour a narrow generic concept. The present study aims to delimit EA Aster sensu stricto (s.s.), elucidate the phylogenetic relationships of EA Aster s.s. and segregate genera. http://aob.oxfordjournals.org/ † Methods The internal and external transcribed spacers of nuclear ribosomal DNA and the plastid DNA trnL-F region were used to reconstruct the phylogeny of EA Aster through maximum parsimony and Bayesian analyses. † Key Results The analyses strongly support an Aster clade including the genera Sheareria, Rhynchospermum, Kalimeris (excluding Kalimeris longipetiolata), Heteropappus, Miyamayomena, Turczaninowia, Rhinactinidia, eastern Asian Doellingeria, Asterothamnus and Arctogeron. Many well-recognized species of Chinese Aster s.s. lie outside of the Aster clade. † Conclusions The results reveal that EA Aster s.s. is both paraphyletic and polyphyletic. Sheareria, Rhynchospermum, Kalimeris (excluding K. longipetiolata), Heteropappus, Miyamayomena, Turczaninowia, Rhinactinidia, eastern Asian Doellingeria, Asterothamnus and Arctogeron should be included in Aster, at Kunming Institute of Botany,CAS on July 25, 2012 whereas many species of Chinese Aster s.s. should be excluded. The recircumscribed Aster should be divided into two subgenera and nine sections. Kalimeris longipetiolata, Aster batangensis, A. ser. Albescentes, A. series Hersileoides, a two-species group composed of A. senecioides and A. fuscescens, and a six-species group including A. asteroides, should be elevated to generic level. With the Aster clade, they belong to the Australasian lineages. The generic status of Callistephus should be maintained. Whether Galatella (including Crinitina) and Tripolium should remain as genera or be merged into a single genus remains to be determined. In addition, the taxonomic status of A. auriculatus and the A. pycnophyllus–A. panduratus clade remains unre- solved, and the systematic position of some segregates of EA Aster requires further study. Key words: Asteraceae, Astereae, ETS, Eurasian Aster, generic delimitation, infrageneric classification, ITS, molecular phylogeny, trnL-F. INTRODUCTION Nesom (1994b) that a fundamental difference exists between NA and EA Aster.

Aster s.l. occurs mainly in the Aster should be separated from Aster s.s. (Brouillet et al., Northern Hemisphere in both Eurasia (EA) and North 2009b). The classification and phylogeny of EA Aster have America (NA) and is estimated to comprise 250–1000 remained poorly resolved, however, because of insufficient species (Ling et al., 1985; Nesom, 1994b; Ito and Soejima, sampling in these studies. 1995; Noyes and Rieseberg, 1999). Based primarily on The circumscription of EA Aster has confused botanists for achene morphology and cytology, Nesom (1994b) segregated several decades.

(Asteraceae) species from Turkey Faruk Karahan* Department of Biology, Faculty of Science and Arts, Hatay Mustafa Kemal University, 31040 Hatay, Turkey Abstract – In the present study, the morphological characters, root, stem and leaf anatomy, pollen and achene micromorphology of Bellis L. species (Bellis annua L., B. perennis L. and B. sylvestris Cirillo) distributed in Turkey have been investigated on light and scanning electron microscope. Palynological analysis showed that pollen characters were found as small to medium size, isopolar, radially symmetrical, oblate-spheroidal and prolate- spheroidal, tricolporate and echinate-perforate ornamentation in the three species. Achene characters were found dark brown to yellow in colour, often cylindrical, compressed, with thickened margin, obovate orobovoid shaped, pappus absent and the coat ornamentations are rectangular with short hairs on the surface. As a result of this study, leaf morphology and some pollen characteristics such as pollen size, shape, perforation and distance be- tween spines were demonstrated to be different among the Bellis species.

College for Women, Parade, Jammu, Jammu & Kashmir, India Abstract Introduction: The present paper deals with tribe Astereae comprising of 62 species representing 17 genera of family Asteraceae. The study of this tribe is based on the species within the limits of Jammu and Kashmir State. Many of the species are confined to the alpine zones of Kashmir Himalayas. Tribe Astereae is rich one and studies regarding the number of species in each genus are given. Material and Methods: The study of species of this tribe was made in different parts of Jammu and Kashmir. The genera and species were identified with the help of taxonomic literature and compilation of works of other authors wherever required. The change in colour of the florets on drying causes difficulty to know the identity of species. Result: The tribe Astereae is compiled for the first time from the state of Jammu and Kashmir. Astereae constitutes 2.06% and 2.53% of the species in Jammu and Kashmir and India respectively in comparison to 3000 species of this tribe reported from the world. Eight genera of the tribe Astere have been reported from the state of Jammu and Kashmir with single species.

  • Flowering Plants of Sikkim- an Analysis
    FLOWERING PLANTS OF SIKKIM- AN ANALYSIS Paramjit Singh and M. Sanjappa ABSTRACT ikkim is one of the biodiversity rich states of our country. The present paper analyses the flowering plant diversity of the state with some indicative figures of dominant genera like Bulbophyllum, Calanthe, Coelogyne, SCymbidium, Dendrobium, Gentiana, Juncus, Pedicularis, Primula, Rhododendron and Swertia recorded from the region. Nearly 165 species have been named after the state, as they were first collected from the state or plants were known to occur in Sikkim. Some of the representative endemic species of the state have also been listed. One hundred ninety seven families, 1371 genera have been appended with indicative number of species of each genus known to occur in Sikkim. In all more than 4450 species of flowering plants recorded so far. KEYWORDS: Diversity, Dominant genera, Endemics, Families, Flowering Plants, Sikkim Waldheimia glabra in Lhonak, North Sikkim 65 Middle storey of Rhododendron in Conifer forests INTRODUCTION ikkim, the second smallest state of India having an area of around 7096 sq. km is known as the paradise of naturalists. It is a thumb shaped hilly region with Nepal in the west, Bhutan in the east and Tibet in the north and Snorth-east. In the south it is bordered by Darjeeling district of West Bengal. The mountain chains which run southward from the main Himalayan ranges form the natural border of Sikkim; the Chola Range dividing it from Tibet in the north east and Bhutan in the south-east; the Singalila range likewise separating it from Nepal in the west. Mountain passes along these ranges over the years have sustained a two way traffic of traders, pilgrims, and adventurers from Tibet and Central Asia.

ABSTRACT An account of the tribe composition, endemic taxa, comparison with adjacent areas and weedy Asteraceae of Sumatera is given. Based on the records of January 2000, there are 133 species of 74 genera in 11 tribes. The tribe Heliantheae is the largest, with 28% of the total number of the genera, followed by Astereae with 15%, Inuleae 12%, Senecioneae 10%, Anthemideae, Eupatorieae and Lactuceae 8%, the other tribes are represented by 4% or less. The most diverse genus is Blumea with 14 species. Other genera are only represented by 10 species or less, usually 4, or 3, or 2, and mostly by 1 species only. Thirty nine or about 53% are exotic genera and the native ones are less than half of the total number of the genera. In terms of indigenous and endemic species, Sumatera is richer than Java. There are 1 genus, 7 species and 2 varieties of Asteraceae endemic to Sumatera. A number of 43 important weed species were introduced from Tropical America, Africa, Asia and Europe. Among these Chromolaena odorata and Mikania micrantha are reported as the most noxious ones. List of the genera and species recorded in Sumatera is provided in this paper. Key words : Asteraceae/Sumatera/compositions/endemic species/distribution/weedy Asteraceae INTRODUCTION Asteraceae is one of the largest families of flowering plants which has not been revised for the Flora Malesiana (Ross 1993).

Kurtto, A., Botanical Museum, Finnish Museum of Natural History, P. O. Box 7, FI–00014 University of Helsinki, Finland. A common European weed of North American origin, Erigeron annuus s.l. was described by Lin- naeus on the basis of plants cultivated at de Hartecamp near Haarlem, the Netherlands. This spe- cies was originally introduced to Europe from the territories along the Saint Lawrence River, south-eastern Canada, between 1623 and 1633, in the garden of Jean and Vespasien Robin in Paris. The original plants belonged to the white-flowered taxon with crenate leaves and long spreading pubescence, which has been known in Europe as E. annuus subsp. septentrionalis. By lectotypifi- cation this taxon should be called E. annuus subsp. annuus, whereas the lilac-flowered taxon with coarsely dentate leaves and long erect pubescence (previously known as E. annuus subsp. annuus) is redescribed here as E. annuus subsp. lilacinus Sennikov & Kurtto, subsp. nov. Three alien taxa of E. annuus s.l. are recognised in East Fennoscandia, including E.
