II Abstract Euphorbiaceae is a family of dicotyledonous flowering plant which includes a number of species distributed all over the Sudan. It contains species used as a source of food and others are medicinal that contain some bioactive compounds and are used in local medicine. The present study constitutes two parts. The first part comprises a systematic survey of the representatives of the family Euphorbiaceae s.l. Juss. in the Red Sea State based mainly on material deposited in the local herbaria in the Sudan and Kew herbarium- England and the author collections from Sinkat Locality. In addition to the species reported in the Sudanese floras and relevant publications. For each species standard up- dated scientific binomial, synonyms, a brief description, locations of species in the study area, habitat and economic uses are included when available. In the second part phytochemical analysis of (secondary) constituents in three species from the family namely: Euphorbia abyssinica Gmel. E. polycantha Boiss. And Jatropha glauca Vahl (stem, seed, latex or sap) in alcohol and water solvents were carried out using standard methods. The representatives of the family Euphorbiaceae s.l. in the Red Sea State contain 29 species included within 8 genera. According to the (APG IV) system of classification the studied taxa are presented in two families: Euphorbiaceae s.s. Marc.-Berti and Phyllanthaceae s.s. Martinov. Euphorbiaceae s.s. contains 3 subfamilies: Acalyphoideae with 3 genera including 6 species, Crotonoideae 2 genera with 4 species and Euphorbioideae one genus with 15 species. Phyllanthaceae contains 3 genera with 4 species. The life forms of the studied members show that most of the species are Phanerophyta (59%) including 21% succulents. Herbaceous species constitute 41% most of them are Chamaephyta; Therophyta are rare. Information on collected economic uses shows that most of the species in the study area are of medicinal importance. III The preliminary phytochemical screening resulted in the presence of different levels of the tested phyto-constituents: carbohydartes, alkaloids, saturated and unsaturated sterols, saponin, coumarins, tannins, cardenolides, flavones, flavonols, deoxy sugars and traces of cyanidin and leucoanthoyanins. Quantitative analysis of saponin in aqueous extracts of Jatropha glauca and Euphorbia polyacantha yields 20% in the seeds of the studied plants. The stem of E. polyacantha contains 20% saponin and the sap of Jatropha glauca scores the highest level (26.3%). Aqueous extracts of the latex of Euphorbia polyacantha revealed the presence of 60% alkaloids. In view of the above the family Euphorbiaceae in Sudan needs more studies using different taxonomic approaches and detailed chemical analysis.

Anatomically it has been shown that the shape of stem, midrib, lamina and margin were different. There were druses and tannins in lamina of Euphorbia microsphaera and absent in another species. The trichomes in stems were unicellular non-glandular and glandular in Euphorbia petiolate, Euphorbia phymutospering and Euphorbia peplus, while unicellular glandular in Euphorbia microsphaera and Euphorbia helioscopia, and unicellular non-glandular as in Euphorbia macroclada. In the leaf the trichomes were non-glandular and glandular unicellular in Euphorbia petiolate, while glandular unicellular in Euphorbia phymutosperin, Euphorbia microsphaeraand Euphorbia helioscopia. Secretory canal was presence in all species. The anticlinal surfaces of epidermis straight or wavy, the stomata were anisocytic, anomocytic, paracytic and hemi-paracytic with presence contiguous stomata. The pollen grains were different in size and shape such as spherical, oblate- prolate, sub-oblate and prolate spheroidal; the sculpture was foveolate or reticulate.

FLORISTIC COMPOSITION AND ECOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF PLANTS OF CHAIL VALLEY, DISTRICT SWAT, PAKISTAN ASGHAR ALI1*, LAL BADSHAH2 , FARRUKH HUSSAIN3 AND ZABTA KHAN SHINWARI4 1Dr Khan Shaheed Govt. Degree College Kabal Swat, Pakistan 2Department of Botany, University of Peshawar, Pakistan 3Department of Microbiology, Sarhad University of Science and Information Technology, Peshawar, Pakistan 4Department of Biotechnology, Quaid e Azam University, Islamabad, Pakistan *Correspondingauthore-mail: [email protected] Abstract The present study was carried out during 2012-2014 to enumerate the floristic and ecological characteristics of plants of Chail Valley, District Swat. A total of 463 species belonging to 104 families were recorded. Leading families were Asteraceae (42 Spp), Poaceae (35 Spp), Rosaceae and Lamiaceae (each with 26 Spp), Papilionaceae (25 Spp), Brassicaceae and Boraginaceae (each with 16 Spp), Apiaceae (14 Spp), Solanaceae (13 Species) and Ranunculaceae (12 Spp). Each of the remaining families had less than 12 species. Therophytes with 188 species, 40.60% were dominant. They were followed by hemicryptophytes (77 species, 16.63%). Cuscuta europaea L., C. reflexa Roxb. and Viscum album L. were the three shoot parasites. The leaf spectra was dominated by mesophylls (147 Spp; 31.75%), microphylls (140 Spp.; 30.24%) and nanophylls (136 Spp.; 29.37%). Two species were aphyllous. Majority of the species (305 Spp., 65.87%) had simple lamina. Eight species (1.73%) had spiny leaves. Key words: Floristic diversity, Ecological characteristics, Chail valley, District Swat, Pakistan. Introduction and plant families were arranged in alphabetical order. Plant species were classified into leaf size classes and life Chail Valley is located between 72o 32' 1" to 72o43' 3" form according to Raunkiaer (1934) and Hussain (1989).

  • Root Fungal Associations in Some Non-Orchidaceous Vascular Lithophytes
    Acta Botanica Brasilica - 30(3): 407-421. July-September 2016. doi: 10.1590/0102-33062016abb0074 Root fungal associations in some non-orchidaceous vascular lithophytes Thangavelu Muthukumar1*, Marimuthu Chinnathambi1 and Perumalsamy Priyadharsini1 Received: March 7, 2016 Accepted: July 11, 2016 . ABSTRACT Plant roots in natural ecosystems are colonized by a diverse group of fungi among which the most common and widespread are arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) and dark septate endophyte (DSE) fungi. Th ough AM and DSE fungal associations are well reported for terricolous plant species, they are rather poorly known for lithophytic plant species. In this study, we examined AM and DSE fungal association in 72 non-orchidaceous vascular plant species growing as lithophytes in Siruvani Hills, Western Ghats of Tamilnadu, India. Sixty-nine plant species had AM and 58 species had DSE fungal associations. To our knowledge, we report AM fungal association in 42 and DSE fungal association in 53 plant species for the fi rst time. Th ere were signifi cant diff erences in total root length colonization and root length colonized by diff erent AM and DSE fungal structures among plant species. In contrast, the diff erences in AM and DSE fungal colonization among plants in various life-forms and lifecycles were not signifi cant. AM morphology reported for the fi rst time in 56 plant species was dominated by intermediate type AM morphology. A signifi cant negative relationship existed between total root length colonized by AM and DSE fungi. Th ese results clearly

Bokorenses under subgenus Euphorbia is established for Euphorbia bo- korensis H. Toyama & Tagane, sp. nov., endemic to Bokor National Park, Cambodia. Euphorbia sect. Bokorenses is distinguished from related sections Denisophorbia and Goniostema by unbranched stems and smooth seeds, respectively. Bayesian phylogeny using matK, ndhF, and ITS regions supports its monophyly from the currently recognized 21 sections. It has a sister relationship with the Malagasy clade, including sections Denisophorbia, Deuterocalli and Goniostema, and to the northeastern African clade, including sect. Rubellae. A description, illustration, photographs and preliminary conservation status of the new species, and an updated identification key to the sections ofEuphoria subg. Euphorbia is provided.
