Wien 105 A 45–159 Wien, Februar 2004 GEOLOGIE UND PALÄONTOLOGIE The Miocene Flora of Parschlug (Styria, Austria) – Revision and Synthesis By Johanna KOVAR-EDER1, Zlatko KVACEK2 & Margit STRÖBITZER-HERMANN3 (With 5 figures, 11 tables and 15 plates) Manuscript submitted on 23 October 2002, the revised manuscript on 21 January 2003 Abstract The first monographic treatment of the famous fossil flora of Parschlug (Styria, Austria) is presented. It com- prises more than 60 plant species including 4 ferns, 5 conifers, and over 50 angiosperms. Described for the first time are Ulmus parschlugiana and Antholithes stiriacus. Newly combined are Berberis teutonica, B. (?) ambigua, Mahonia (?) aspera, Ternstroemites pereger, Cedrelospermum ulmifolium, Leguminosites hesperidum, L. dionysi, L. palaeogaeus, L. parschlugianus, Prinsepia serra, Cotinus (?) aizoon, and Ailanthus pythii. Diversified mesophytic elements prevail over a few dominant or common azonal woody taxa. Among the for- mer, humid temperate components are relatively scarce and humid subtropical ones are rare, while subhumid, physiognomically sclerophyllous woody taxa are well represented. The age is considered as Karpatian/Early Badenian (late Early/early Middle Miocene) based on the floristic composition. Climatically this association indicates a drier warm-temperate/subtropical regime than documented from earlier and later Miocene times. Keywords: Macroflora, palaeoecology, palaeoclimate, floristic comparison, Miocene, Norian depression, Austria. Zusammenfassung Erstmals wird die Flora von Parschlug (Steiermark, Österreich) monographisch erfasst. Sie enthält mehr als 60 Pflanzenarten, davon 4 Farne, 5 Koniferen und mehr als 50 Angiospermen. Ulmus parschlugiana and Antholithes stiriacus werden erstmals beschrieben. Neu kombiniert werden Berberis teutonica, B. (?) ambigua, Mahonia (?) aspera, Ternstroemites pereger, Cedrelospermum ulmifolium, Leguminosites hesperidum, L. dionysi, L. palaeogaeus, L. parschlugianus, Prinsepia serra, Cotinus (?) aizoon, und Ailanthus pythii. Außer einigen dominierenden oder häufigen azonalen Gehölzen herrschen mesophytische Elemente vor. Unter diesen sind humid temperate nicht häufig und humid subtropische sogar selten. Aber subhumide, physiognomisch sklerophylle Gehölze sind reichlich vertreten. Basierend auf der floristischen Zusammen- setzung wird ein karpatisch/unter-badenisches Alter (oberes Unter-/unteres Mittel-Miozän) angenommen. Im Vergleich mit älteren und jüngeren miozänen Floren deutet die Vergesellschaftung von Parschlug auf relativ trockenere warm-temperat/subtropische klimatische Verhältnisse hin. Schlüsselwörter: Makroflora, Paläoökologie, Paläoklima, floristische Vergleiche, Miozän, Norische Senke, Österreich. 1 Johanna KOVAR-EDER, Staatliches Museum für Naturkunde Stuttgart, Rosenstein 1, D-70191 Stuttgart, Germany; e-mail: [email protected]. 2 Zlatko KVACEK, Charles University, Faculty of Science, Albertov 6, CZ-128 43 Praha 2, Czech Republic; e-mail: [email protected]. 3 Margit STRÖBITZER-HERMANN, Geologisch-Paläontologische Abteilung, Naturhistorisches Museum, Burg- ring 7, P.B. 417, A-1014 Wien, Austria; e-mail: [email protected]. ©Naturhistorisches Museum Wien, download unter www.biologiezentrum.at 46 Annalen des Naturhistorischen Museums in Wien 105 A Table of contents Introduction ................................................................................................................................................. 48 Geography and geological frame ................................................................................................................ 49 Material and methods .................................................................................................................................. 50 Systematics .................................................................................................................................................. 52 Osmunda parschlugiana (UNGER)ANDREÁNSZKY ...................................................................................... 52 Pronephrium stiriacum (UNGER)KNOBLOCH & Z.

Rua Pacheco Leão, 915. 22460-030, Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil. *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract Dioscorea sphaeroidea is endemic to the high-altitude grasslands of the Serra dos Órgãos National Park located in southeastern Brazil. Based on the spheroid shape of its fruit and seed, i.e., not flattened or winged, this new species is morphologically unusual in the Dioscorea genus. Moreover, its unique morphology leaves this new species with no clear position in the infrageneric taxonomy of Dioscorea. Herein we present the morphological description of this species, including a discussion of its ecology and habitat, distribution, and preliminary risk of extinction assessment. Key words: Atlantic rainforest, critically endangered species, Dioscoreales, endemism, neotropics Introduction Dioscoreaceae is comprised of four genera and about 650 species distributed worldwide, but particularly in tropical regions (Govaerts et al. 2007; WCSP 2014). With over 600 species, Dioscorea Linnaeus (1753: 1032) is the genus with largest number of species, and it is the most widely distributed genus in the family (Govaerts et al.

  • Pittosporum Angustifolium
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by University of Southern Queensland ePrints University of Southern Queensland An investigation of the ecology and bioactive compounds of Pittosporum angustifolium endophytes A Thesis Submitted by Michael Thompson Bachelor of Science USQ For the Award of Honours in Science 2014 Abstract Endophytes are microorganisms that reside in the internal tissue of living plants without causing any apparent negative effects to the host. Endophytes are known to produce bioactive compounds and are looked upon as a promising source of novel bioactive compounds. There is currently limited knowledge of Australian endophytes regarding the species diversity, ecological roles and their potential as producers of antimicrobial compounds. The plant Pittosporum angustifolium was used medicinally by Indigenous Australians to treat a variety of conditions such as eczema, coughs and colds. In this study the diversity of endophytic species, host-preference of endophytes and antimicrobial potential of the resident endophytes is investigated in P. angustifolium. During this study a total of 54 endophytes were cultured from leaf samples of seven different P. angustifolium plants. Using molecular identification methods, the ITS-rDNA and SSU-rDNA regions of fungal and bacterial endophytes respectively were sequenced and matched to species recorded in GenBank. This approach, however, could not identify all isolates to the species level. Analysing the presence/absence of identified isolates in each of the seven trees found no evidence to indicate any host-specific relationships. Screening of each isolated endophyte against four human pathogens (Staphylococcus aureus, Serratia marcescens, Escherichia coli and Candida albicans) found two species displaying antimicrobial activity.

Comments: Tough and durable plant that tolerates drought, heat, and salt spray. It can be severely pruned. However, heavy pruning may cause blooming to be reduced. The plant is frequently damaged by deer. Variegated pittosporum. Photo Karen Russ Pittosporum tobira growth habit. Photo Scott Zona Currituck Master Gardeners Plant of the Month – December 2017 When, Where, and How to Plant Pittosporums are very tolerant of a range of soil conditions, as long as the soil is well drained. Poor drainage or excessive moisture can lead to rapid death from root rot diseases. So, avoid planting in areas where water accumulates after rains. They grow well in both full sun and shade, and are very heat tolerant. Pittosporums can suffer from cold damage if they are grown in the upper Piedmont or Mountain regions of North Carolina. Growing Tips and Propagation This shrub is relatively low maintenance and can be pruned at any time during the year.
