  • Dedicated the Memory ELMER DREW MERRILL
    Dedicated to the memory of ELMER DREW MERRILL Dedication The completion of the sixth volume of this Flora gives me the privilege to dedicate this to the memory of ELMER DREW MERRILL, a man who has achieved more for the knowledge of the Malesian flora than individual botanist. any other It is neither my intention to give nor is it the proper place for a full biography of this most distinguished American scientist, as it would for the greater part be duplication of his own ROBBINS and the vivid life sketch ‘Autobiographical’ (1953), the scholarly essay by (1958), by SCHULTES (1957), which together give the story of his life, his ambitions, his personality, his immense drive, his multiple interests, his capacity for establishing botanical periodicals as well as of successfully filling the posts of Dean of a Faculty of Agriculture, director the Bureau of Science at Manila, directorofthe New York BotanicalGardens, and administrator of Botanical Collections of Harvard University. It is my purpose to review MERRILL'S aims and vision, ambitions and achievements in the light of his time, to explain the value ofhispioneer works for Indo-Malesianbotany, how he used opportunities and had to bow to unforeseen events and circumstances which in no mean way influenced his career. Naturally MERRILL'S personality pervades the story, that of a straight- forward, righteous person, unbiassed in scientific matters, appreciating any progress in bio- logical science. It is of course especially his great achievements with regard to the knowledge of the Malesian florawhich are the main theme and I will try to elucidate several aspects which he pursued.

  • Salvia Officinalis L. 142 4.5.26
    UNIVERSITÀ DEGLI STUDI DI PISA Dipartimento di Farmacia CORSO DI LAUREA MAGISTRALE IN FARMACIA Tesi di Laurea Analisi dei costituenti volatili emessi in vivo da specie del genere Salvia facenti parte di una collezione dell'Orto Botanico di Pisa mediante la tecnica SPME in GC-MS Relatore Candidata Dott. Guido Flamini Roberta Ascrizzi Correlatrice Dott.ssa Lucia Amadei Anno Accademico 2013-2014 Ai miei genitori. Riassunto Trenta specie del genere Salvia, facenti parte di una collezione dell’Orto Botanico di Pisa, sono state analizzate in vivo tramite la tecnica della Head-Space Solid Phase Micro-Extraction (HS- SPME) abbinata alla GC-MS (gas-cromatografia accoppiata alla spettrometria di massa). Sono stati identificati oltre 300 composti organici volatili (VOC). Il profilo di emissione di tali composti è stato sottoposto ad analisi statistica mediante il clustering gerarchico, effettuato sia sui singoli VOC, sia sulle classi chimiche dei composti. È emersa una discreta correlazione tra le similitudini rilevate dal clustering gerarchico e la provenienza geografica delle specie raccolte. In ragione dell’habitat originario delle diverse specie, infatti, il profilo di emissione in vivo dei VOC muta: piante provenienti da una stessa area geografica tendono ad avere pattern di emissione simili tra loro, sia in termini di prevalenza di composti individuali sia di classi chimiche. Non ho rintracciato nella letteratura studi effettuati su un numero così esteso di Salvie, né studi sulle emissioni volatili spontanee da parte di campioni analizzati in vivo, non sottoposti ad alcun trattamento di essiccamento, macinazione o distillazione. 1.

  • Il Genere Salvia: SCHEDE DESCRITTIVE Di 117 Specie, Varietà E Ibridi
    Claudio Cervelli Carmen Del Gaudio Luca Masselli Il genere Salvia: SCHEDE DESCRITTIVE di 117 specie, varietà e ibridi Documentazione della collezione del CRA-FSO di Sanremo EdizioniCRAͲFSO Copyright © Consiglio per la Ricerca e la Sperimentazione in Agricoltura (CRA) Roma 2011 ISBN 978-88-97081-10-4 Edizioni CRA-FSO Unità di Ricerca per la Floricoltura e le Specie Ornamentali Corso Inglesi 508 – 18038 Sanremo Tel.: 0184 69481 Fax: 0184 694856 e-mail: [email protected] Web: www.istflori.it Pubblicato il 20 settembre 2011 Il genere Salvia Nell’ambito delle Lamiaceae il genere Salvia viene incluso nella sottofamiglia Nepetoideae (Dumort.) Luerss. (1882), tribù delle Mentheae Dumort (1827), sottotribù delle Salviinae (Dumort.) Endl. (1838). Sono state classificate sinora più di 900 specie di Salvia (ciò ne fa il più numeroso nell’ambito della Lamiaceae), a cui si aggiungono decine di ibridi (di origine naturale o non) e centinaia di cultivars. Le caratteristiche distintive del genere Salvia rispetto agli altri generi delle Lamiaceae risiedono nell’androceo, la parte maschile degli organi sessuali, dove si ha la riduzione a 2 del numero degli stami (rispetto ai 4 tipici della famiglia), la trasformazione dei due stami fertili in strutture a bilancere e la riduzione a 1 sola teca fertile per stame; tali modifiche sono adattamenti evolutivi all’impollinazione incrociata, causata in genere da insetti, ma in America anche da piccoli uccelli. Il genere Salvia è presente allo stato spontaneo in tutti i continenti eccetto l’Australia (in cui si trovano alcune specie naturalizzate), con diffusione nelle regioni temperate e tropicali dei due emisferi ed escursione altitudinale dal livello del mare a oltre 3400 m.
