Famiglia Asteraceae Famiglia Asteraceae Classificazione scientifica Dominio: Eucariota (Eukaryota o Eukarya/Eucarioti) Regno: Plantae (Plants/Piante) Sottoregno: Tracheobionta (Vascular plants/Piante vascolari) Superdivisione: Spermatophyta (Seed plants/Piante con semi) Divisione: Magnoliophyta Takht. & Zimmerm. ex Reveal, 1996 (Flowering plants/Piante con fiori) Sottodivisione: Magnoliophytina Frohne & U. Jensen ex Reveal, 1996 Classe: Rosopsida Batsch, 1788 Sottoclasse: Asteridae Takht., 1967 Superordine: Asteranae Takht., 1967 Ordine: Asterales Lindl., 1833 Famiglia: Asteraceae Dumort., 1822 Le Asteraceae Dumortier, 1822, molto conosciute anche come Compositae , sono una vasta famiglia di piante dicotiledoni dell’ordine Asterales . Rappresenta la famiglia di spermatofite con il più elevato numero di specie. Le asteracee sono piante di solito erbacee con infiorescenza che è normalmente un capolino composto di singoli fiori che possono essere tutti tubulosi (es. Conyza ) oppure tutti forniti di una linguetta detta ligula (es. Taraxacum ) o, infine, essere tubulosi al centro e ligulati alla periferia (es. margherita). La famiglia è diffusa in tutto il mondo, ad eccezione dell’Antartide, ed è particolarmente rappresentate nelle regioni aride tropicali e subtropicali ( Artemisia ), nelle regioni mediterranee, nel Messico, nella regione del Capo in Sud-Africa e concorre alla formazione di foreste e praterie dell’Africa, del sud-America e dell’Australia. Le Asteraceae sono una delle famiglie più grandi delle Angiosperme e comprendono piante alimentari, produttrici di materie prime, medicinali, che forniscono spezie, ornamentali ed anche infestanti e velenose. La specie alimentare commercialmente più importante è Lactuca sativa (lattuga), altre sono Cichorium endivia , Cichorium intybus (cicoria), Scorzonera hispanica , Tragopogon porrifolius , Cynara scolimus (carciofo), Helianthus tuberosus (topinambur) e Artemisia dracunculus (dragoncello). Inoltre, Helianthus annuus (girasole), Carthamus tinctorius (falso zafferano), Guisotia abissinica (niger ) vengono coltivate per i loro semi che sono fonti importanti di oli commestibili e siccativi (questi ultimi usati nelle vernici). Specie più rappresentative sono: Achillea millefolium - Arctium lappa - Artemisia vulgaris - Bellis perennis - Calendula officinalis - Carlina acaulis - Centaurea cyanus - Cichorium intybus - Helichrysum italicum - Crepis sancta - Dipsacus silvestris – Lapsana communis - Inula crithmoides – Sonchus oleraceus - Tragopogon pratensis – Taraxacum officinale - Pallenis spinosa – Xanthium strumarium – Urospermum dalechampii - Chrysanthemum coronarium – Reichardia picroides - Senecio bicolor - Petasits hybridus - Cynara scolimus . Le infiorescenze più significative di alcune specie della famiglia delle asteracee sono riportate nella figura 1. Figura 1 - 1. Anthemis tinctoria ; 2. Glebionis coronarium ; 3. Coleostephus myconis ; 4. Argyranthemum frutescens ; 5. Sonchus oleraceus ; 6. Cichorium intybus ; 7. Gazania rigens ; 8. Galactites tomentosa ; 9. Calendula arvensis ; 10. Leucanthemum vulgare ; 11. Hieracium lachenalli ; 12. Osteospermum ecklonis . Si riportano i sinonimi con cui questa grande famiglia è stata anche indicata: Acarnaceae , Ambrosiaceae , Anthemidaceae , Aposeridaceae , Arctotidaceae , Artemisiaceae , Athanasiaceae , Calendulaceae , Carduaceae , Centaureaceae , Cichoriaceae , Cnicaceae , Compositae , Coreopsidaceae , Cynaraceae , Echinopaceae , Eupatoriaceae , Gnaphaliaceae , Heleniaceae , Helianthaceae , Helichrysaceae , Inulaceae , Lactucaceae , Lampsanaceae , Madiaceae , Matricariacea e, Mutisiaceae , Nassauviaceae , Partheniaceae , Perdiciaceae , Picridaceae , Santolinaceae , Senecionaceae , Tanacetaceae , Vernoniaceae , Xanthiaceae . 2 Le Asteraceae vengono suddivise nelle seguenti sottofamiglie: 1. sottofamiglia Asteroideae (Cass.) Lindl. in Loud. 1829: include il 70% delle specie della famiglia Asteraceae . Fin dal 2004 la sottofamiglia è stata suddivisa in tre supertribù: • supertribù Senecionodae , che comprende la sola tribù Senecioneae (con la specie Doronicum , che alcune volte è posta nella tribù Doroniceae ); • supertribù Asterodae , che comprende 4 tribù: • tribù Anthemideae • tribù Astereae • tribù Calenduleae • tribù Gnaphalieae • supertribù Helianthodae, che comprende 15 tribù: • tribù Athroismeae • tribù Bahieae • tribù Chaenactideae • tribù Coreopsideae • tribù Eupatorieae • tribù Feddeeae • tribù Helenieae • tribù Heliantheae • tribù Inuleae (comprendente Plucheeae ) • tribù Madieae • tribù Millerieae • tribù Neurolaeneae • tribù Perityleae • tribù Polymnieae • tribù Tageteae 2. sottofamiglia Barnadesioideae D. Don, 1830: è una sottofamiglia delle Asteraceae (chiamata anche famiglia del girasole). Comprende un’unica tribù che quella delle Barnadesieae D. Don, 1830. La sottofamiglia è endemica del Sud America. Studi di biologia molecolare mettono in evidenza la posizione basale della sottofamiglia nei confronti della famiglia dei girasoli. In filogenetica la posizione basale si riferisce alla struttura del cladogramma per cui il taxon si posiziona in un punto nodale o cruciale. Un gruppo basale costituisce un gruppo autonomo rispetto alla parte restante del cladogramma, come nel seguente esempio: Gruppo basale • Gruppo non basale • Gruppo non basale • Gruppo non basale Il termine “basale” è preferito al termine “primitivo” perché quest’ultimo può portare a false connotazioni di inferiorità e di complessità. 3. sottofamiglia Carduoideae Cass. ex Sweet, 1826: secondo Takhtajan, in accordo con Reveal, questa sottofamiglia che comprende le seguenti tribù: • tribù Cynareae • tribù Arctotideae • tribù Barnadesieae • tribù Carlineae • tribù Cichorieae • tribù Echinopeae • tribù Eremothamneae • tribù Gundelieae • tribù Mutisieae 3 4. sottofamiglia Cichorioideae (Juss.) Chevall., 1828. Comprende le seguenti tribù: • tribù Cichorieae • tribù Heterolepis • tribù Gorteriinae • tribù Platycarpheae • tribù Liabeae • tribù Distephanus • tribù Trichospira • tribù Moquinieae • tribù Vernonieae Tuttavia, gli studi di biologia molecolare rendono molto flessibili queste classificazioni. A seguito di studi sulle sequenze di DNA un certo numero di tribù divennero delle nuove sottofamiglie. 5. sottofamiglia Corymbioideae Panero & V.A. Funk, 2002. 6. sottofamiglia Gochnatioideae Benth. & Hook.f., 1873. Questa sottofamiglia comprende una sola tribù, quella delle Gochnatieae (Benth. & Hook.f.) Panero & V.A.Funk, 2002 che include sei generi originari dell’America Centrale e meridionale. 7. sottofamiglia Gymnarrhenoideae Panero & V.A. Funk, 2002. 8. sottofamiglia Hecastocleioideae Panero & V.A. Funk, 2002. 9. sottofamiglia Mutisioideae (Cass.) Lindl., 1833. comprende tre tribù: • tribù Mutisieae • tribù Nassauvieae • tribù Onoserideae 10. sottofamiglia Pertyoideae Panero & V.A. Funk, 2002. 11. sottofamiglia Scorzoneroideae Burmeist., 1837. 12. sottofamiglia Stifftioideae (D. Don, 1830) Panero, 200 7. 13. sottofamiglia Wunderlichioideae Panero & Funk, 2002. La sottofamiglia include 8 generi e circa 24 specie che sono concentrate in Venezuela e Guyana. Alcune specie sono naturalizzate nell’America Meridionale e nel sud-est della Cina. I caratteri morfologici dei membri di questa sottofamiglia sono la presenza branche con stili glabri. I caratteri genetici sono costituiti dalla delezione del gene rpoB . Sono riconosciute due sottotribù: Wunderlicheae e Hyalideae . Si riporta la figura 2 che rappresenta la foto della specie Wunderlichia mirabilis . Figura 1 - Wunderlichia mirabilis un’interessante asteracea arborea di origine brasiliana. 4 Ne fanno parte più di 1.000 generi con circa 20.000 specie: A Aaronsohnia, Abrotanella, Acamptopappus, Acanthocephalus, Acanthocladium, Acanthodesmos, Acantholepis, Acanthospermum, Acanthostyles, Achillea, Achnophora, Achnopogon, Achyrachaena, Achyrocline, Achyropappus, Achyrophorus, Achyrothalamus, Acilepidopsis, Acilepis, Acmella, Acomis, Acourtia, Acrisione, Acritopappus, Acroclinium, Acroptilon, Actinella, Actinobole, Actinomeris, Actinoseris, Actites, Adelostigma, Adenachaena, Adenanthellum, Adenocaulon, Adenocritonia.

PhytoKeys 23: 1–17. doi: 10.3897/phytokeys.23.4752 Abstract A checklist of the flora of Chad has been compiled by the authors, based on literature, on-line data-bases, herbarium collections and land surveys (1998-2011). It counts 2,460 records, i.e. 2,288 species (including 128 autonyms), 83 subspecies, 81 varieties, 8 forms, while all the previous available information reported 1,600 species. They belong to 151 Families, with 48.7% of the taxa belonging to the 6 largest families, i.e. Poaceae (14.6%), Fabaceae (13.6%), Cyperaceae (7.0%), Asteraceae (6.2 %), Malvaceae (3.9%) and Rubiaceae (3.4%). A total number or 2,173 species (88.3%) are native to Chad, including 55 (2.2%) endemic species, while 274 (11.0%) are alien to Chad, and 13 (0.5%) are considered cryptogenic, i.e. of uncertain status. It represents a considerable update on previous knowledge on the alien flora of Chad that counted for 131 taxa (5.3%).

Box 56, Dunedin 9054, New Zealand; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +47-481-37-867 Abstract: Free-living species often receive greater conservation attention than the parasites they support, with parasite conservation often being hindered by a lack of parasite biodiversity knowl- edge. This study aimed to determine the current state of knowledge regarding parasites of the Southern Hemisphere freshwater fish family Galaxiidae, in order to identify knowledge gaps to focus future research attention. Specifically, we assessed how galaxiid–parasite knowledge differs among geographic regions in relation to research effort (i.e., number of studies or fish individuals examined, extent of tissue examination, taxonomic resolution), in addition to ecological traits known to influ- ence parasite richness. To date, ~50% of galaxiid species have been examined for parasites, though the majority of studies have focused on single parasite taxa rather than assessing the full diversity of macro- and microparasites. The highest number of parasites were observed from Argentinean galaxiids, and studies in all geographic regions were biased towards the highly abundant and most widely distributed galaxiid species, Galaxias maculatus.

Weedin SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION PRESS City of Washington 1981 ABSTRACT Robinson, Harold, A. Michael Powell, Robert M. King, and James F. Weedin. Chromosome Numbers in Compositae, XII: Heliantheae. Smithsonian Contri- butions to Botany, number 52, 28 pages, 3 tables, 1981.-Chromosome reports are provided for 145 populations, including first reports for 33 species and three genera, Garcilassa, Riencourtia, and Helianthopsis. Chromosome numbers are arranged according to Robinson’s recently broadened concept of the Heliantheae, with citations for 212 of the ca. 265 genera and 32 of the 35 subtribes. Diverse elements, including the Ambrosieae, typical Heliantheae, most Helenieae, the Tegeteae, and genera such as Arnica from the Senecioneae, are seen to share a specialized cytological history involving polyploid ancestry. The authors disagree with one another regarding the point at which such polyploidy occurred and on whether subtribes lacking higher numbers, such as the Galinsoginae, share the polyploid ancestry. Numerous examples of aneuploid decrease, secondary polyploidy, and some secondary aneuploid decreases are cited. The Marshalliinae are considered remote from other subtribes and close to the Inuleae. Evidence from related tribes favors an ultimate base of X = 10 for the Heliantheae and at least the subfamily As teroideae.

Simmons Abstract— A new species of the Brazilian endemic genus Acritopappus from the Serra do Cabral, in Minas Gerais state, is described. The new species, Acritopappus pereirae , is similar to A. confertus , the most widely distributed species in the genus, but differs in that the latter has conduplicate, chartaceous, glabrous to glabrescent, viscid leaves with entire margins, and an aristate pappus. The new species is illus- trated, the affinities between the morphologically related species and A. pereirae are discussed and a key to the species from Minas Gerais is provided.

Nicola Georgina Bergh Town Thesis presented for theCape Degree of DOCTOR OF ofPHILOSOPHY in the Department of Botany UNIVERSITY OF CAPE TOWN University May 2009 Town Cape of University ii ABSTRACT The Greater Cape Floristic Region (GCFR) houses a flora unique for its diversity and high endemicity. A large amount of the diversity is housed in just a few lineages, presumed to have radiated in the region. For many of these lineages there is no robust phylogenetic hypothesis of relationships, and few Cape plants have been examined for the spatial distribution of their population genetic variation. Such studies are especially relevant for the Cape where high rates of species diversification and the ongoing maintenance of species proliferation is hypothesised. Subtribe Relhaniinae of the daisy tribe Gnaphalieae is one such little-studied lineage. The taxonomic circumscription of this subtribe, the biogeography of its early diversification and its relationships to other members of the Gnaphalieae are elucidated by means of a dated phylogenetic hypothesis. Molecular DNA sequence data from both chloroplast and nuclear genomes are used to reconstruct evolutionary history using parsimony and Bayesian tools for phylogeny estimation.
