  • H3.3 Macaronesian Inland Cliff
    European Red List of Habitats - Screes Habitat Group H3.3 Macaronesian inland cliff Summary The perennial vegetation of crevices and ledges of cliff faces in Macaronesia away from coastal salt-spray is of very diverse character - some, for example, dominated by succulents, others rich in ferns and bryophytes characteristic of shaded situations - and it includes several hundreds of taxa endemic to the archipelagoes. The main threats are mountaineering and rock climbing, outdoor sports and leisure activities, and construction of infrastructures such as roads and motorways. Synthesis There is no evidence of significant past reductions, either in the last 50 years or historically, and also future prospects are good, as no serious threats are envisaged, besides touristic/leisure activities and putative faulty environmental impact assessments that may overlook this habitat as valuable. Reduction in quantity, reduction in quality and criteria of geographic distribution yield the Least Concern (LC) category. In spite of the LC category, conservation policy and management should restrict to the maximum any threat to or reduction of the habitat, as it has a very high conservation value, because of high endemism of species and communities with many local and regional variaties. Overall Category & Criteria EU 28 EU 28+ Red List Category Red List Criteria Red List Category Red List Criteria Least Concern - Least Concern - Sub-habitat types that may require further examination Four general subtypes can be distinguished based on species composition and different ecological conditions. However, at present, no data are available to carry out an individual assessment of each of them. In the future, if detailed plot sampling has been carried out, such an evaluation may be possible.

  • A Numerical Taxonomy of the Genus Rosularia (Dc.) Stapf from Pakistan and Kashmir
    Pak. J. Bot., 44(1): 349-354, 2012. A NUMERICAL TAXONOMY OF THE GENUS ROSULARIA (DC.) STAPF FROM PAKISTAN AND KASHMIR GHULAM RASOOL SARWAR* AND MUHAMMAD QAISER Centre for Plant Conservation, University of Karachi, Karachi-75270, Pakistan Federal Urdu University of Arts, Science and Technology, Gulshan-e-Iqbal, Karachi, Pakistan Abstract Numerical analysis of the taxa belonging to the genus Rosularia (DC.) Stapf was carried out to find out their phenetic relationship. Data from different disciplines viz. general, pollen and seed morphology, chemistry and distribution pattern were used. As a result of cluster analysis two distinct groups are formed. Out of which one group consists of R. sedoides (Decne.) H. Ohba and R. alpestris A. Boriss. while other group comprises R. adenotricha (Wall. ex Edgew.) Jansson ssp. adenotricha , R. adenotricha ssp. chitralica, G.R. Sarwar, R. rosulata (Edgew.) H. Ohba and R. viguieri (Raym.-Hamet ex Frod.) G.R. Sarwar. Distribution maps of all the taxa, along with key to the taxa are also presented. Introduction studied the genus Rosularia and indicated that the genus is polyphyletic. Mayuzumi & Ohba (2004) analyzed the Rosularia is a small genus composed of 28 species, relationships within the genus Rosularia. According to distributed in arid or semiarid regions ranging from N. different workers Rosularia is polyphyletic. Africa to C. Asia through E. Mediterranean (Mabberley, There are no reports on numerical studies of 2008). Some of the taxa of Rosularia are in general Crassulaceae except the genus Sedum from Pakistan cultivation and several have great appeal due to their (Sarwar & Qaiser, 2011). The primary aim of this study is extraordinarily regular rosettes on the leaf colouring in to analyze diagnostic value of morphological characters in various seasons.

  • A Classification of the Subtropical Transitional Thicket in the Eastern Cape, Based on Syntaxonomic and Structural Attributes
    S. Afr. J. Bot., 1987, 53(5): 329 - 340 329 A classification of the subtropical transitional thicket in the eastern Cape, based on syntaxonomic and structural attributes D.A. Everard Department of Plant Sciences, Rhodes University, Grahamstown, 6140 Republic of South Africa Accepted 11 June 1987 Subtropical transitional thicket, traditionally known as valley bushveld, covers a significant proportion of the eastern Cape. This paper attempts to classify the subtropical transitional thicket into syntaxonomic and structural units and relate it to other thicket types on a continental basis. Twelve sites along a rainfall gradient were sampled for floristic and structural attributes. The floristic data were classified using TWINSPAN. Results indicate that the class subtropical transitional thicket has at least two orders of vegetation, namely kaffrarian thicket and kaffrarian succulent thicket. Two forms of thicket were recognized for both these orders viz. mesic kaffrarian thicket and xeric kaffrarian thicket for the kaffrarian thicket and mesic succulent thicket and xeric succulent thicket for the kaffrarian succulent thicket. Ordination of site data by DECORANA grouped sites according to these vegetation categories and in a sequence along axis 1 to which the rainfall gradient can be clearly related. Variation within the mesic kaffrarian thicket was however greater than between some of the other thicket types, indicating that more data are required before these forms of thicket can be formalized. Composition, endemism, diversity and the environmental controls on the distribution of the thicket types are discussed. 'n Aansienlike gedeelte van die Oos-Kaap word beslaan deur subtropiese oorgangsruigte, wat tradisioneel as valleibosveld bekend is. Hierdie studie is 'n poging om subtropiese oorgangsruigte in sintaksonomiese en strukturele eenhede te klassifiseer en dit op 'n kontinentale basis in verband met ander ruigtetipes te bring.

  • Aeonium Webb & Berthelot in Gibraltar
    Comunicaciones 1 HE GENUS AEONIUM WEBB & BERTHELOT IN GIBRALTAR Brian M. Lamb /Conservador del Gibraltar Botanic Gardens The genus Aeonium Webb & Berthelot belongs to the family Crassulaceae often refered to as the Houseleek family. Some 32 species are endemic to the Canary Islands, two to the Cape Verde Islands, two to Madeira, one to Morocco and possibly today three on the other side of Africa from northem Kenya through to Arabia. The three species that can be seen in Gibraltar are: A. undulatum native to Gran Canaria A. haworthii native to Tenerife A. arboreum native to Morocco. The two Canarian Aeoniums have almost certainly been introduced by man, probably during the latter part of the 19th century, particularly A. ~indulatumwhich is usually only found as a cultivated plant grown only on a small scale. However, A. haworthii is to be found in a number of places in Gibraltar, as naturalised colonies growing from pockets or fissures in the limestone rock, particularly on the eastem side, southwards from Catalan Bay, while on the westem side a sizeable colony exists below Bleak House and a small one is now forming near Camp Bay, growing in association with native Sedum. A. haworthii seems to be quite a popular patio and verandah plant, as it is not a giant growing species, and has lovely red edged glaucous leaves. The flower colour is variable, from white or pale yellow through to rose-pink. The seeds ofAeonium are very small, as with most members of the family Crassulacease, produced in great abundance, and are easily distributed by the wind.

Objectives: This work aims to determine the pharmacological mechanism of its antihypertensive virtue, to identify and isolate the major compound and to elucidate its chemical structure. Method: The powder of dried leaves of C. ovata was extracted by maceration with 90% ethanol. The ethanol solution was depigmented by activated charcoal then filtered on Whatman’s filter paper and evaporated to dryness. This ethanol crude extract was dissolved in distilled water and then successively partitioned with dichloromethane, ethyl acetate and butanol. Two serials of column chromatography on silica gel eluted by an increasing polarity solvent system and some preparative chromatography were used to isolate the major compound of the butanol fraction. The chemical structure of the purified compound was elucidated using some spectrometric methods UPLC–MS, UPLC–UV, 1D and 2D NMR.

The entire chloroplast (cp) genome of asparagus was sequenced with Hiseq4000 platform. The complete cp genome maps a circular molecule of 156,699bp built with a quadripartite organization: two inverted repeats (IRs) of 26,531bp, separated by a large single copy (LSC) sequence of 84,999bp and a small single copy (SSC) sequence of 18,638bp. A total of 112 genes comprising of 78 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNAs and 4 rRNAs were successfully annotated, 17 of which included introns. The identity, number and GC content of asparagus cp genes were similar to those of other asparagus species genomes. Analysis revealed 81 simple sequence repeat (SSR) loci, most composed of A or T, contributing to a bias in base composition. A maximum likelihood phylogenomic evolution analysis showed that asparagus was closely related to Polygonatum cyrtonema that belonged to the genus Asparagales.
