Title Kitongwe Name of Plants: A Preliminary Listing Author(s) NISHIDA, Toshisada; UEHARA, Shigeo Citation African Study Monographs (1981), 1: 109-131 Issue Date 1981 URL http://dx.doi.org/10.14989/67977 Right Type Departmental Bulletin Paper Textversion publisher Kyoto University 109 KITONGWE NAME OF PLANTS: A PRELIMINARY LISTING Edited by Toshisada NISHIDA and Shigeo UEHARA Departnlent ofAnthropology, Faculty ofScience, University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan INTRODUCTION Field workers of Kyoto University Africa Primatological Expedition collected plants in western Tanzania. Experts of Japan International Cooperation Agency working as Game (Wildlife) Research Officers at Kasoje Chimpanzee Research Station (Mahale Mountains Wildlife Research Centre) have concentrated their collecting activities Inainly to the Mahale Mountains. The collection of plants with notes of kitongwe name not only has facilitated the ecological studies on wild chimpanzees (and other wild animals), but also will be of use in analyzing the traditional system of classification of plants among Batongwe, as well as in re cording for ever a rapidly-vanishing culture. This is a revised version, though still only preliminary one, of the manuscript entitled "Sitongwe-Latin Dictionary of Plants" edited by T. Nishida on 4 April, 1975. COLLECTION The researchers who have contributed to this work in the collection of the plants are listed below, with the reference number in the East African Herbarium'(Kenya Herbarium), the number of total specimens collected, and the specimen number in each collection. All the plants with known kitongwe nalne collected within the Tongwe (and Bende) territory are listed in this edition. Local emphasis is put on the Mahale Mountains and especially on Kasoje area. -
Generic Limits of Pyrinae: Insights from Nuclear Ribosomal DNA Sequences

MACKLIN2, and Jian-Hua LI3,* 1Sun Yat-sen University, School of Life Sciences, Guangdong Key Laboratory of Plant Resources, Guangzhou, Guangdong, 510275, P.R. China 2Harvard University Herbaria, Organismal and Evolutionary Biology, 22 Divinity Avenue, Cambridge, Massachusetts, 02138, USA 3Biology Department, Hope College, MI 49423, USA (Received August 23, 2010; Accepted October 6, 2011) ABSTRACT. The subtribe Pyrinae, formerly the Maloideae, is a monophyletic group of about 1,000 species that includes well known fruit crops such as apple (Malus), pear (Pyrus), quince (Cydonia), loquat (Eriobotrya), chokeberry (Aronia), and serviceberry (Amelanchier). Generic limits have been fluid in Pyrinae, especially in Malus, Sorbus and Photinia. This study evaluated the generic limits of 180 samples of multiple species or accessions from each of the traditional genera using sequences of the nrDNA ITS region. The ITS data recog- nized 24 genera, including Amelanchier, Aria (including Micromeles), Aronia, Chaenomeles, Chamaemespilus, Chamaemeles, Cormus, Cotoneaster, Crataegus, Cydonia, Dichotomanthes, Eriobotrya, Hesperomeles, Mala- comeles, Malus (including Chloromeles, Docynia, Docyniopsis, and Eriolobus), Mespilus, Osteomeles, Pera- phyllum, Pourthiaea, Pseudocydonia, Pyrus, Rhaphiolepis, Sorbus, and Torminalis. However, both Photinia and Pyracantha are polyphyletic. Photinia is separated into different clades, one of which contains species of Heteromeles and Stranvaesia. Asian species of Pyracantha do not form a clade with P. coccinea of southern Europe and Iran. Our results support the close relationship of Amelanchier, Malacomeles, and Peraphyllum, and of Crataegus and Mespilus, and for the first time recognize the sister relationship of the South American genus Hesperomeles with the Crataegus-Mespilus clade. -

Species Composition, Diversity and Distribution of Vascular Epiphytes in the Kihansi Gorge Forest, Tanzania
Tanzania Journal of Science 45(2): 216-225, 2019 ISSN 0856-1761, e-ISSN 2507-7961 © College of Natural and Applied Sciences, University of Dar es Salaam, 2019 Species Composition, Diversity and Distribution of Vascular Epiphytes in the Kihansi Gorge Forest, Tanzania 1Hashim M Mangosongo and 2Martin Griffiths 1Department of Botany, University of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania; 2Durrell Institute of Conservation and Ecology, University of Kent, United Kingdom. Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract This study aimed at assessing the species composition, diversity and distribution of vascular epiphytes in the Kihansi Gorge Forest. Epiphytes sampling was conducted in twenty sampling plots established in the strip of riverine forest within the Kihansi Gorge. All vascular epiphytes growing on trees (phorophytes) rooted in the plots were sampled using ground-based technique as the method of access to the tree canopies. A total of 476 epiphyte individuals belonging to 20 species and 10 families were recorded in the study area. Among the twenty species recorded, Drynaria laurentii was the most abundant and most widely distributed in the study area. The epiphyte individuals were unevenly distributed within the twenty species. Epiphyte species richness and diversity was highest in KM transect and lowest in KS transect, while the epiphyte abundance was highest in KH transect. Along the phorophytes, 62% of the vascular epiphyte individuals occupied a zone upper than ten metres. In general, the Kihansi Gorge Forest is a home to twenty epiphyte species, dominated by ferns and orchids. The highest diversity in the study area was found in KM transect which was located at mid-elevation. -

A Morphometric Analysis of the Genus Ficus Linn. (Moraceae)
African Journal of Biotechnology Vol. 3 (4), pp. 229-235, April 2004 Available online at http://www.academicjournals.org/AJB ISSN 1684–5315 © 2004 Academic Journals Full Length Research Paper A morphometric analysis of the genus Ficus Linn. (moraceae) Mubo, A. Sonibare1*, Adeniyi, A. Jayeola2 and Adeyemi Egunyomi2 1Department of Biological Sciences, Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago-Iwoye, Ogun State, Nigeria. 2Department of Botany and Microbiology, University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Nigeria. Accepted 21 December 2003 Foliar parameters of Ficus in Nigeria were subjected to quantitative analysis. The morphometric analysis is based on ten quantitative parameters of the leaves of species. Principal compound analysis produced six groups whose characters are described. Highly significant positive correlation exists between leaf length and leaf width, leaf length and lamina length, leaf length and petiole length, lamina length and lamina width. Negative correlation was observed between leaf width and leaf length/width ratio, petiole length and fruit length/petiole length ratio. The groups that emerged compared well with existing traditional classification with some sub-sectional discrepancies. Key words: Ficus, morphometric analysis, numerical classification. INTRODUCTION The methods of numerical taxonomy have been used in Ficus is readily distinguished by the highly characteristic classifying many plants as well as interpreting results of fruits and has often been recognized by the milky juice, taxonomic studies (Gomez-Campo et al., 2001; the prominent stipule that leaves a scar on falling and the Chiapella, 2000, Sneath and Sokal, 1973). Cluster minute unisexual flowers often arranged on variously analysis and principal component analysis (PCA) are two shaped receptacles (Hutchinson and Dalziel, 1958). -
