Chrysocephalum apiculatum Family: Asteraceae Distribution: Widespread in all states in a variety of habitats. Common Common everlasting, yellow buttons Name: Derivation of Chrysocephalum....From Greek chryso, golden and Name: cephalus, a head, referring to the golden yellow flower heads of some species. apiculatum...having a small, abrupt point at the apex (of the leaves). Conservation Not considered to be at risk in the wild. Status: General Description: Chrysocephalum is a genus of six species all of which were formerly classified under other genera (Helichrysum, Helipterum and Leptorhynchos). Chrysocephalum apiculatum currently includes species formerly classified as Helichrysum apiculatum and H.ramosissimum. It seems likely that future botanical study will split C.apiculatum into a number of separate species. Chrysocephalum apiculatum Photo: Australian Daisy Study Group Chrysocephalum apiculatum is a very variable species which is not surprising given its very extensive distribution. It is usually a small, spreading perennial or shrub up to about 0.3 metres high by 0.5 to 1.5 metres in width. Some forms spread by suckering. The linear or lance-shaped leaves are often silvery or greyish in appearance due to the presence of dense hairs and may be between 10 and 60 mm in length by about 5 - 15 mm wide. The bright yellow flower heads appear in clusters at the ends of the stems, mainly during summer and autumn but it is not unusual to see flowers at other times of the year. Individual flower heads are up to 15 mm in diameter. Common everlasting has been in cultivation for many years and numerous named forms are available from specialist nurseries and/or enthusiasts. Because of the wide range of the species it is difficult to generalise about growing conditions or hardiness under garden conditions. However, good drainage and a sunny position seem to be mandatory. Most forms are suitable for growing in containers. Propagation from seed can be carried out without any pretreatment but cuttings usually give more reliable results. Named forms should only be propagated from cuttings as seed is unlikely to produce plants true to type..

Helichrysum Cymosum (L.) D.Don (Asteraceae): Medicinal Uses, Chemistry, and Biological Activities
Online - 2455-3891 Vol 12, Issue 7, 2019 Print - 0974-2441 Review Article HELICHRYSUM CYMOSUM (L.) D.DON (ASTERACEAE): MEDICINAL USES, CHEMISTRY, AND BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITIES ALFRED MAROYI* Department of Botany, Medicinal Plants and Economic Development Research Centre, University of Fort Hare, Private Bag X1314, Alice 5700, South Africa. Email: [email protected] Received: 26 April 2019, Revised and Accepted: 24 May 2019 ABSTRACT Helichrysum cymosum is a valuable and well-known medicinal plant in tropical Africa. The current study critically reviewed the medicinal uses, phytochemistry and biological activities of H. cymosum. Information on medicinal uses, phytochemistry and biological activities of H. cymosum, was collected from multiple internet sources which included Scopus, Google Scholar, Elsevier, Science Direct, Web of Science, PubMed, SciFinder, and BMC. Additional information was gathered from pre-electronic sources such as journal articles, scientific reports, theses, books, and book chapters obtained from the University library. This study showed that H. cymosum is traditionally used as a purgative, ritual incense, and magical purposes and as herbal medicine for colds, cough, fever, headache, and wounds. Ethnopharmacological research revealed that H. cymosum extracts and compounds isolated from the species have antibacterial, antioxidant, antifungal, antiviral, anti-HIV, anti-inflammatory, antimalarial, and cytotoxicity activities. This research showed that H. cymosum is an integral part of indigenous pharmacopeia in tropical Africa, but there is lack of correlation between medicinal uses and existing pharmacological properties of the species. Therefore, future research should focus on evaluating the chemical and pharmacological properties of H. cymosum extracts and compounds isolated from the species. Keywords: Asteraceae, Ethnopharmacology, Helichrysum cymosum, Herbal medicine, Indigenous pharmacopeia, Tropical Africa.

This is an ideal area to look closely at the diversity of characteristics in our regional plants. Variations in things such as form, texture, colour and smell of leaves, flowers and fruits often give a clue as to how plants grow and survive in different and often challenging environments. Come and join the discussion of what grows where and why and maybe discover what may do well at home for you. Following the walk there will be an opportunity to visit the propagation and nursery area for a behind the scenes look. Gardens manager, Michael Anlezark will outline the current workings of the area and the exciting future directions proposed for the Gardens. Lunch can either be the usual BYO picnic style or purchased at the Gardens café. The afternoon will be free to either stroll to the arboretum or browse the range of plants available for purchase from the plant sales area. As usual sensible footwear, hat, sunscreen, insect repellent and water are advisable.

Gnaphalieae-Asteraceae) of Mexico
Botanical Sciences 92 (4): 489-491, 2014 TAXONOMY AND FLORISTIC NEW COMBINATIONS IN PSEUDOGNAPHALIUM (GNAPHALIEAE-ASTERACEAE) OF MEXICO OSCAR HINOJOSA-ESPINOSA Y JOSÉ LUIS VILLASEÑOR1 Departamento de Botánica, Instituto de Biología, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, México, D.F., México 1Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract: In a broad sense, Gnaphalium L. is a heterogeneous and polyphyletic genus. Pseudognaphalium Kirp. is one of the many segregated genera from Gnaphalium which have been proposed to obtain subgroups that are better defi ned and presumably monophyletic. Although most Mexican species of Gnaphalium s.l. have been transferred to Pseudognaphalium, the combinations so far proposed do not include a few Mexican taxa that truly belong in Pseudognaphalium. In this paper, the differences between Gnaphalium s.s. and Pseudognaphalium are briefl y addressed, and the transfer of two Mexican species and three varieties from Gnaphalium to Pseudognaphalium are presented. Key Words: generic segregate, Gnaphalium, Mexican composites, taxonomy. Resumen: En sentido amplio, Gnaphalium L. es un género heterogéneo y polifi lético. Pseudognaphalium Kirp. es uno de varios géneros segregados, a partir de Gnaphalium, que se han propuesto para obtener subgrupos mejor defi nidos y presumiblemente monofi léticos. La mayoría de las especies mexicanas de Gnaphalium s.l. han sido transferidas al género Pseudognaphalium; sin embargo, las combinaciones propuestas hasta el momento no cubren algunos taxones mexicanos que pertenecen a Pseudogna- phalium. En este trabajo se explican brevemente las diferencias entre Gnaphalium s.s. y Pseudognaphalium, y se presentan las transferencias de dos especies y tres variedades mexicanas de Gnaphalium a Pseudognaphalium. Palabras clave: compuestas mexicanas, Gnaphalium, segregados genéricos, taxonomía.

A Census of Dinosaur Fossils Recovered from the Hell Creek and Lance Formations (Maastrichtian)
The Journal of Paleontological Sciences: JPS.C.2019.01 1 TAKING COUNT: A Census of Dinosaur Fossils Recovered From the Hell Creek and Lance Formations (Maastrichtian). ______________________________________________________________________________________ Walter W. Stein- President, PaleoAdventures 1432 Mill St.. Belle Fourche, SD 57717. [email protected] 605-210-1275 ABSTRACT: A census of Hell Creek and Lance Formation dinosaur remains was conducted from April, 2017 through February of 2018. Online databases were reviewed and curators and collections managers interviewed in an effort to determine how much material had been collected over the past 130+ years of exploration. The results of this new census has led to numerous observations regarding the quantity, quality, and locations of the total collection, as well as ancillary data on the faunal diversity and density of Late Cretaceous dinosaur populations. By reviewing the available data, it was also possible to make general observations regarding the current state of certain exploration programs, the nature of collection bias present in those collections and the availability of today's online databases. A total of 653 distinct, associated and/or articulated remains (skulls and partial skeletons) were located. Ceratopsid skulls and partial skeletons (mostly identified as Triceratops) were the most numerous, tallying over 335+ specimens. Hadrosaurids (Edmontosaurus) were second with at least 149 associated and/or articulated remains. Tyrannosaurids (Tyrannosaurus and Nanotyrannus) were third with a total of 71 associated and/or articulated specimens currently known to exist. Basal ornithopods (Thescelosaurus) were also well represented by at least 42 known associated and/or articulated remains. The remaining associated and/or articulated specimens, included pachycephalosaurids (18), ankylosaurids (6) nodosaurids (6), ornithomimids (13), oviraptorosaurids (9), dromaeosaurids (1) and troodontids (1).

Medicinal Ethnobotany of Wild Plants
Kazancı et al. Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine (2020) 16:71 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13002-020-00415-y RESEARCH Open Access Medicinal ethnobotany of wild plants: a cross-cultural comparison around Georgia- Turkey border, the Western Lesser Caucasus Ceren Kazancı1* , Soner Oruç2 and Marine Mosulishvili1 Abstract Background: The Mountains of the Western Lesser Caucasus with its rich plant diversity, multicultural and multilingual nature host diverse ethnobotanical knowledge related to medicinal plants. However, cross-cultural medicinal ethnobotany and patterns of plant knowledge have not yet been investigated in the region. Doing so could highlight the salient medicinal plant species and show the variations between communities. This study aimed to determine and discuss the similarities and differences of medicinal ethnobotany among people living in highland pastures on both sides of the Georgia-Turkey border. Methods: During the 2017 and 2018 summer transhumance period, 119 participants (74 in Turkey, 45 in Georgia) were interviewed with semi-structured questions. The data was structured in use-reports (URs) following the ICPC classification. Cultural Importance (CI) Index, informant consensus factor (FIC), shared/separate species-use combinations, as well as literature data were used for comparing medicinal ethnobotany of the communities. Results: One thousand five hundred six UR for 152 native wild plant species were documented. More than half of the species are in common on both sides of the border. Out of 817 species-use combinations, only 9% of the use incidences are shared between communities across the border. Around 66% of these reports had not been previously mentioned specifically in the compared literature.
