81 Mrtt. Bot. Staatssamml. München 26 p. 81 - 512 31 .12.1988 ISSN 0006-8179 Die Botanische Staatssanmlung München 1813-1988 (Eine Obersicht über die Sammlungsbestände) von Hannes HERTEL und Annelis SCHREIBER SUMMARY 1. An index of the plant collections housed in the "Botanische Staats- sammlung" in München (M) has been compiled on the occasion of its 175 anniversary. 2. Except for the bryophyte and liehen collections (where the register was obtained by directly checking the herbarium specimens) this index was obtained mainly frora evaluating the inventory books and acqulsition lists of the period covering the past 175 years. 3. The present register is far from being complete, due to the frequent lack of all necessary informations in number of specimens, name of collectors. area of collecting, origin of the coUection. 4. The following Information, whenever available, Is given about collec- tors: surname, Christian names. year of birth (death), collecting areas, number of specimens kept at M. Additional biographical notes are usually given only for staff members or other persons with special relations to the Munich herbarium. Personal herbaria are covered in as much detail as posslble, too. Exact dates of birth and death (instead of the years only) are given for the collectors, whenever these data could be ascertained thanks to personal Informations by individuals. Institutions or registration Offices. 5. Accession lists containlng mixed dupllcates collected by various In- dividuais, and also lists without collector's names, are filed in our re- gister under the heading of their mailing herbaria and arranged alphabeti- cally following their acronyms. 6. Exsiccata and exsiccate-like series are listed under their authors. Col- lectors of exsiccate specimens usually are not included in the register. 82 Inhalt 1. Einleitung 82 2.

Index 432 L Einleitung Die Botanische Staatssammlung wurde 1813 auf Veranlassung von König Maximilian I. Joseph von Bayern als "Herbarium Reglum Monacen- se" [Königliches Münchener Herbar] gegründet und der Akademie der Wissenschaften zugeordnet (zur Geschichte der Botanischen Staatssamm- lung siehe v.MARTIUS 1850. RADLKOFER 1926. MERXMÜLLER 1977»). Wir nehmen das heuer 175jährige Bestehen dieser Institution zum Anlaß, eine Übersicht über ihre Sammlungsbestände vorzulegen. Eine ins Einzelne gehende Übersicht wurde bisher nie versucht; lediglich besonders bemer- kenswerte Sammlungen wurde in den drei genannten geschichtlichen Beiträgen hervorgehoben. Diese Dokumentation ist gleichzeitig der Versuch einer Inventur zum Abschluß der 'Ära Merxmüller'. jener für die Samm- lung so bedeutungsvollen dreißigjährigen Epoche der Amtszeit (1955-1985) ihres ehemaligen Direktors Prof. Dr. Hermann MERXMÜLLER. Die geplante Zusammenstellung auf die Durcharbeitung des gesamten (2.25 Millionen Belege) oder doch eines repräsentativen Teils (10 %) des Herbarbestandes selbst zu stützen, wie im Falle des Flechtenherbars (HERTEL 1980. 1981. 1982«) und des Moosherbars (HERTEL unveröffent- » MARTIUS.

Was mach- bar schien, war eine Auswertung der vollständig vorhandenen Inventar- bücher und -listen, ergänzt durch stichprobenhafte Oberprüfungen am Herbarmaterial. Durch Kauf. Tausch oder als Geschenk zugehende Sammlungen wur- den seit Gründung des Herbars Inventarisiert. Solche Eintragungen wur- den während seiner wechselvollen Geschichte unterschiedlich präzise und ausführlich gehandhabt und liefern leider oft nicht alle uns heute interes- sierenden Daten (Pflanzengruppe, Region, Sammler, Umfang, Zugangsda- tum, Art des Zugangs [Kauf, Tausch, Geschenk]). Insbesondere das in größeren Privatherbarien, über botanische Tauschvereine oder im Tausch mit anderen Museen zugegangene Material wurde in den Inventarlisten oft nur pauschal registriert (Beispiele: "Zu- gang des sehr umfangreichen Herbarium Correns" (keine Angaben über Umfang, Art und Herkunft des Materials], "280 Species Kryptogamen vom Britischen Museum erhalten" [keine Auskunft über die Zahl der Belege, Art des Materials (ob Algen, Pilze, Flechten. Moose, Pteridophyten?), Herkunft und Sammler]). Entsprechend sind die hier gegebenen Daten zum Umfang der zuge- gangenen Sammlungen oft nur Mindestwerte. Zählungen fehlen manchmal (im Bereich der Kryptogamensammlungen vor 1960 sogar überwiegend) ganz oder beziehen sich (wie im vergangenen Jahrhundert üblich) auf die Anzahl von Arten (Species), nicht von Belegen (PJagulae). Das Verzeichnis ist nach Teilherbarien (Algen, Pilze, Flechten. Moose, Gefäßpflanzen, Sondersammlungen) geordnet und führt in jeder Abteilung die wichtigeren (d.h. zumeist die häufiger vertretenen) Sammler in alphabetischer Ordnung. Wichtig erschienen uns möglichst eingehende Informationen über den Inhalt der großen Privatherbarien (wie jener von F. ARNOLD, W. FREIBERG, M. FÜRBRINGER, F. KAYSER. A. v. KREMPEL- HUBER, P.G. LORENTZ, J. MERKL, 0. SENDTNER, Th. REINBOLD. Ch.D. v.SCHREBER, J.G. ZUCCARINI u.a.). Im Bereich des Kryptogamenherbars (incl. Pteridophyten!) standen hierzu vielfach Aufstellungen aus der Feder des einstigen Konservators am Kryptogamenherbar. Dr. K. v.SCHOENAU. zur Verfügung, die im Bereich der Moose und Flechten durch herbarge- stützte Daten wesentlich ergänzt werden konnten. Im Bereich der Blüten- pflanzen fehlten solche Informationen meist und mußten durch Stichpro- bennahme im Herbar und Befragung langjähriger Mitarbeiter (insbesondere der Herren Dr. W. LIPPERT und Dr. H. ROESSLER) gewonnen werden. Die als Bestandteil dieser großen Privatherbarien gelisteten Sammlungen von Einzelpersonen werden im alphabetisch geordneten Index nur dann ein zweites Mal geführt, wenn von ihnen mehr als 10 Herbarbelege vorliegen. Ein Namensregister am Ende der Arbeit soll das Auffinden der einzelnen Sammler erleichtern. Es wurde versucht, bezüglich der Sammler Namen, Vornamen. Ge- burts- und (falls verstorben) Todesjahr und bezüglich der Sammlungen Herkunftsland, Umfang (Anzahl der Bögen oder Kapseln). Zeitpunkt und Herkunft des Zugangs anzugeben.

  • Orthotrichum Hallii Sull

    Orthotrichum Hallii Sull

    SPECIES FACT SHEET Common Name: Hall’s Orthotrichum Scientific Name: Orthotrichum hallii Sull. & Lesq. Recent synonyms: Division: Bryophyta Class: Bryopsida Order: Orthotrichales Family: Orthotrichaceae Taxonomic Note: Substratum information is needed to identify this species. Usually sporophytes are needed to identify species within this genus, but the bistratose leaves make this one easy to distinguish. Technical Description: Plants olive-green to dark green, in 2.5 cm tall tuffs or cushions, stems sometimes branched; leaves lanceolate, acute ± obtuse; lamina bistratose, margins entire, recurved below, bistratose in the upper ½, sometimes with unistratose streaks; costa percurrent, upper medial cells irregularly rounded, 9–14m , with 1–3 small conical papillae per cell; basal cells rectangular to short-rectangular, quadrate on the margins; Autoicous, seta 0.5 – 1.0 mm long , immersed when moist to about ½ emergent when dry, oblong, oblong-ovate, stomata immersed in the middle and lower portion of the urn, strongly 8 ribbed ½ to the full length when dry; peristome double, exostome teeth 8, occasionally spilt to 16, incurved when young, spreading or rarely reflexed when old, never erect. Calyptra oblong, smooth, sparsely hairy, hairs papillose. Spores 10–17m, coarsely papillose. Distinctive characters: (1) bistratose leaves, (2) immersed stomata on an eight ribbed capsule. Similar species: Orthotrichum hallii is distinguished from other species of Orthotrichums by its bistratose leaves and oblong, 8-ribbed emergent sporophyte. Other Descriptions and illustrations: Vitt (1973), Sharp, Crum, & Eckel (1994), Lewinsky-Haapasaari & Tan (1995), Lawton (1971), Exeter et al. 2016: 128-130, Vitt (2014): 56. Life History: Few details are known about O. hallii. Protonema, bud and shoot formation are typical for all moss development.

It is distinguished mainly by its large size, excurrent red costa, unusual areolation of the upper leaf lamina, short seta, hairy calyptra, peristome absent or reduced to a low basal membrane, and anisomorphic spores. A comparison is made with other Macromitrium species in the region. Introduction Dixon (1938) noted that the bryophyte flora of tropical Queensland was recognised as being of special interest to botanists, partly because of what had already been found but also because of what was yet to be discovered. Almost 80 years later, new records of bryophyte species are still being added regularly to the tropical Queensland flora. For example, additions have been made in the last few years to the moss flora in the Brachytheciaceae (Huttunen and Ignatov 2010), Stereophyllaceae (Cairns and Meagher 2014), Sematophyllaceae (Meagher and Cairns 2014), and Meteoriaceae (Meagher and Cairns 2016), and to the liverwort flora in the Lejeuneaceae (Renner 2011), Radulaceae (Renner et al.

    The Phylogeny of Plant and Animal Pathogens in the Ascomycota

    Physiological and Molecular Plant Pathology (2001) 59, 165±187 doi:10.1006/pmpp.2001.0355, available online at http://www.idealibrary.com on MINI-REVIEW The phylogeny of plant and animal pathogens in the Ascomycota MARY L. BERBEE* Department of Botany, University of British Columbia, 6270 University Blvd, Vancouver, BC V6T 1Z4, Canada (Accepted for publication August 2001) What makes a fungus pathogenic? In this review, phylogenetic inference is used to speculate on the evolution of plant and animal pathogens in the fungal Phylum Ascomycota. A phylogeny is presented using 297 18S ribosomal DNA sequences from GenBank and it is shown that most known plant pathogens are concentrated in four classes in the Ascomycota. Animal pathogens are also concentrated, but in two ascomycete classes that contain few, if any, plant pathogens. Rather than appearing as a constant character of a class, the ability to cause disease in plants and animals was gained and lost repeatedly. The genes that code for some traits involved in pathogenicity or virulence have been cloned and characterized, and so the evolutionary relationships of a few of the genes for enzymes and toxins known to play roles in diseases were explored. In general, these genes are too narrowly distributed and too recent in origin to explain the broad patterns of origin of pathogens. Co-evolution could potentially be part of an explanation for phylogenetic patterns of pathogenesis. Robust phylogenies not only of the fungi, but also of host plants and animals are becoming available, allowing for critical analysis of the nature of co-evolutionary warfare. Host animals, particularly human hosts have had little obvious eect on fungal evolution and most cases of fungal disease in humans appear to represent an evolutionary dead end for the fungus.

Figueiredo1, *, G.F. Smith1, S. Dressler 2 Key words Abstract A catalogue of 29 German individuals who were active in the botanical exploration of Angola during the 19th and 20th centuries is presented. One of these is likely of Swiss nationality but with significant links to German Angola settlers in Angola. The catalogue includes information on the places of collecting activity, dates on which locations botanical exploration were visited, the whereabouts of preserved exsiccata, maps with itineraries, and biographical information on the German explorers collectors. Initial botanical exploration in Angola by Germans was linked to efforts to establish and expand Germany’s plant collections colonies in Africa. Later exploration followed after some Germans had settled in the country. However, Angola was never under German control. The most intense period of German collecting activity in this south-tropical African country took place from the early-1870s to 1900. Twenty-four Germans collected plant specimens in Angola for deposition in herbaria in continental Europe, mostly in Germany. Five other naturalists or explorers were active in Angola but collections have not been located under their names or were made by someone else. A further three col- lectors, who are sometimes cited as having collected material in Angola but did not do so, are also briefly discussed. Citation: Figueiredo E, Smith GF, Dressler S.

We analyzed the distribution and specialization of diverse mor- phological, anatomical and chemical (lichen secondary metabolites) traits in lichen communities in a close-to-natural forest of lowland Europe. We considered these traits in relation to three levels of forest ecosystem organization: forest communities, phorophyte species and substrates, in order to recognize the specialization of functional traits to different levels of the forest complexity.

The currently known geographical distributions of the species and their ecologies within Pakistan are discussed. The bryophyte collection from Pakistan contains eight species of the genus Orthotrichum. One of these, O. obtusifolium, is reported here for the first time from that country, whilst the occurrence of the other seven species is confirmed. Pseudoleskeella tectorum, associated with O. crenulatum, is also reported here from Pakistan for the first time. Comments on the specimens and a key to allow identification of all eleven species presently known from Pakistan are provided. Introduction species, restricted to those species occurring in Pakistan and some adjacent areas. The bryophyte flora of Pakistan is very poorly known. There are only a few scattered literature In North Pakistan distribution of the genus reports, such as the checklists of the mosses of Orthotrichum is restricted to the partly open Asghar (1957) and Nishimura & Higuchi (1993, wooded, mainly northfacing ranges of the 1994), and the bibliography of Pakistan mosses Himalaya and Hindu Kush mountains by Townsend (1993). In these reports, listings of (Waziristan, Kohistan, Swat, Pakistan Northern Orthotrichum species remain incomplete.
