  • "National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary."
    Intro 1996 National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands The Fish and Wildlife Service has prepared a National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary (1996 National List). The 1996 National List is a draft revision of the National List of Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1988 National Summary (Reed 1988) (1988 National List). The 1996 National List is provided to encourage additional public review and comments on the draft regional wetland indicator assignments. The 1996 National List reflects a significant amount of new information that has become available since 1988 on the wetland affinity of vascular plants. This new information has resulted from the extensive use of the 1988 National List in the field by individuals involved in wetland and other resource inventories, wetland identification and delineation, and wetland research. Interim Regional Interagency Review Panel (Regional Panel) changes in indicator status as well as additions and deletions to the 1988 National List were documented in Regional supplements. The National List was originally developed as an appendix to the Classification of Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the United States (Cowardin et al.1979) to aid in the consistent application of this classification system for wetlands in the field.. The 1996 National List also was developed to aid in determining the presence of hydrophytic vegetation in the Clean Water Act Section 404 wetland regulatory program and in the implementation of the swampbuster provisions of the Food Security Act. While not required by law or regulation, the Fish and Wildlife Service is making the 1996 National List available for review and comment.

The purpose of this study was to obtain data and information on population and habitat Hernandia nymphaeifolia (C. Presl.) Kubitzki species. The method used was line transect method of 1 km with a width of 10 m with a direction parallel to the shore line path. Sample plots of 20 m x 10 m were laid on continuously along the transect to assess the tree level. Sapling and seedling levels were assessed in sub- plot of 10 m x 10 m and 1 m x 1 m, respectively. The results showed that the population density of individual tree H. nymphaeifolia species that occured in the west of Ujung Genteng Protected Forest was more dense than that of in the east. In the west, densities of trees, poles and seedlings were 49, 46, and 10,200 individual/ha, respectively; whereas densities in the east were, 21, 16, and 2,653 individuals/ha. Considering ecological and potential economic value of H. nymphaeifolia, this species need to be protected through in- situ, ex-situ conservation, cultivation and venture on to a sustainable use.

We report a case of attempted suicide by Cerbera odollam seed ingestion by a transgender patient who was successfully treated at our hospital. While the C. odollam plant has multiple practical and ornamental functions, its seeds have traditionally been utilized for suicidal and homicidal purposes in many parts of the world. Physicians should be aware of the presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of C. odollam ingestion given the current ease of availability of these seeds in the United States and the increased reports of suicide attempts. 1.

  • 4. the Plant Diversity of Singapore
    FLORA OF SINGAPORE (Vol. 1: 37–46, 2019) 4. THE PLANT DIVERSITY OF SINGAPORE K.M. Wong & S.K. Ganesan The position of Singapore on the Sunda continental shelf is a special one, with the principal island originally about 540 km2 in extent, together with some 60 smaller islands at the southern exit to the Malacca Strait and near the confluence of the South China Sea and Karimata Strait just west of Borneo. Geographically at the equatorial extremity of the Malay Peninsula, Singapore is separated from the Riau islands to its south (principally the Karimun Islands, Batam and Bintan) by the Singapore Strait which includes the deeply scoured 204-m ‘Singapore Deeps’, a likely subsidence basin resulting from tectonic movements (Bird et al., 2006). While this Strait may seem able to restrict the dispersal of some organisms with interglacial and post- Pleistocene high sea levels, it probably was not an effective dispersal barrier during episodes of lowest sea levels, such as during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) at 18 ka. Then, it must have been in the path of a key land bridge between mainland Southeast Asia farther north and likewise exposed links to Java and other areas to the south (Ho, 1960; Morley & Flenley, 1987; Heaney, 1991; Voris, 2000; Bird et al., 2005). By contrast, the Johor Strait that separates Singapore from south Peninsular Malaysia is just about 10 m deep and 600 m wide at its narrowest. The Sundaland region on the Sunda continental shelf has seen climate shifts since even before the Pleistocene, sometimes associated with tectonic events.

  • Phytochemical Analysis, Antioxidant Assay and Antimicrobial Activity in Leaf Extracts of Cerbera Odollam Gaertn
    Pharmacogn J. 2018; 10(2): 285-292 A Multifaceted Journal in the field of Natural Products and Pharmacognosy Original Article www.phcogj.com | www.journalonweb.com/pj | www.phcog.net Phytochemical Analysis, Antioxidant Assay and Antimicrobial Activity in Leaf Extracts of Cerbera odollam Gaertn Abinash Sahoo, Thankamani Marar* ABSTRACT Introduction: In the current study, methanol and aqueous extracts of leaf of Cerbera odollam Gaertn were screened for its antibacterial, antifungal, phytochemicals and antioxidant ac- tivities. Phytochemical constituents were investigated both qualitatively and quantitatively. Methods: The leaf extracts of Cerbera odollam Gaertn were prepared by drying and extracted using Soxhlet apparatus into methanol and aqueous media, which were subjected to phyto- chemical screening. Total phenols, tannins, flavanols, alkaloids and its antioxidant activity were determined using spectroscopic techniques. Antimicrobial activity were determined using well diffusion method. Results: Aqueous extract exhibits higher content of phenols, tannins, flavanols and alkaloids, whereas methanol extract exhibits higher content of anthocyanin and cardiac glycoside respectively. Aqueous extract exhibits higher inhibitory concentration (IC %) value for DPPH (2, 2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) and H2O2 radical scavenging assay and reduc- ing power (RP) assay. The methanol extracts exhibited higher inhibitory concentration (IC %) value in SO and NO radical scavenging assay, exhibiting antioxidant properties in five antioxi- dant models that were investigated. The methanol extract showed some antibacterial activity against Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella typhi and Escherichia coli with inhibitory zone ranging from 2 mm to 3 mm, whereas the aqueous extract showed no activity. Abinash Sahoo, High antifungal activity was found against Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Candida albicans for methanol extract and moderate for aqueous extract with inhibitory zone ranging from 9mm Thankamani Marar* to 26 mm.

  • Temperate and Tropical Podocarps: How Ecologically Alike Are They? David A
    7 Temperate and Tropical Podocarps: How Ecologically Alike Are They? David A. Coomes and Peter J. Bellingham ABSTRACT. With few exceptions, podocarps are specialists of nutrient-poor soils within temperate and tropical rainforests. They are locally abundant in some tropical mountains, especially near the tree line, and in the lowland tropics most are confined to heathlands and impoverished habitats, although some can persist in forest understories. The ecology of tropical podocarps is not well understood, so here we draw on literature from temperate regions to help characterize their niches. Temperate podocarps are ef- fective at capturing and retaining nutrients at the expense of competitors. They are uni- versally slow growing, but this is not necessarily an encumbrance on poor soils because competition for light is relatively weak. Temperate podocarps are often outcompeted on richer soils because several factors stack against them: they are ill equipped to compete with angiosperms in the race to occupy canopy gaps, there may be few sites for their establishment on the forest floors, and continuous regeneration by podocarps is seldom found in the forest understory because their growth is severely hampered by shading. We suggest that competition excludes imbricate- leaved podocarps from most lowland tropi- cal forests, whereas broad- leaved species with anastomosing veins (Nageia and some Podocarpus) are so shade tolerant that they regenerate beneath closed canopies.
