Here it is provided the updated checklist of the alien vascular fora of Tuscany. Together with those taxa that are considered alien to the Tuscan vascular fora amounting to 510 units, also locally alien taxa and doubtfully aliens are reported in three additional checklists. The analysis of invasiveness shows that 241 taxa are casual, 219 naturalized and 50 invasive. Moreover, 13 taxa are new for the vascular fora of Tuscany, of which one is also new for the Euromediterranean area and two are new for the Mediterranean basin. Keywords: Vascular plants, Xenophytes, New records, Invasive species, Mediterranean. RIASSUNTO. Si fornisce la checklist aggiornata della fora vascolare aliena della regione Toscana. Insieme alla lista dei taxa che si considerano alieni per la Toscana che ammontano a 510 unità, si segnalano in tre ulteriori liste anche i taxa che si ritengono essere presenti nell’area di studio anche con popolazioni non autoctone o per i quali sussistono dubbi sull’effettiva autoctonicità. L’analisi dello status di invasività mostra che 241 taxa sono casuali, 219 naturalizzati e 50 invasivi. Inoltre, 13 taxa rappresentano una novità per la fora vascolare di Toscana, dei quali uno è nuovo anche per l’area Euromediterranea e altri due sono nuovi per il bacino del Mediterraneo.

The identified compounds were 48, 41, 40 and 46 from the mentioned organs, respectively. Monoterpenes represented the highest percentage for the identified components of ripe rind (94.76%), unripe rind (97.05%) and flower hexane fraction (50.97%) while oxygenated monoterpenes (45.94%) were the highest for leaf oil. Limonene was the major components in all samples followed by terpinene-4-ol and linalool in leaf oil, geranial, γ-terpinen and neral in flower hexane extract. Myrcene represented 2.43% and 2.69% for the ripe and unripe rind, respectively. Moreover, the major constituents were quantified by GLC-FID using a calibration curve of limonene. All tested samples showed high concentration of limonene which reached its highest concentration in flower hexane fraction (527.54 µg/ml). The tested samples were evaluated for their antimicrobial activities by using agar well diffusion assay and determination of minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) using gentamicin, ampicillin and amphotricin B as positive controls.

    Crete in Spring Naturetrek Tour Report 26 March - 2 April 2019 Anemone coronaria Iris unguicularis subsp. cretensis Tulipa saxatilis White Mountains Report & Images by David Tattersfield Naturetrek Mingledown Barn Wolf's Lane Chawton Alton Hampshire GU34 3HJ UK T: +44 (0)1962 733051 E: [email protected] W: www.naturetrek.co.uk Tour Report Crete in Spring Tour participants: David Tattersfield & Duncan McNiven (leaders) with 13 Naturetrek clients. Day 1 Tuesday 26th March We left Gatwick on a mid-morning flight to Athens, where we changed planes, and arrived in Heraklion at 7.30pm. We soon learned that Crete had experienced its wettest winter for over 100 years and that February storms had caused severe damage and disruption to the road system. The Kourtaliotiko Gorge, our usual route, was impassable, so we had to deviate through the neighbouring Kotsifou Gorge and then down a minor road to Plakias, The journey, mostly in the dark, passed without incident, except for a fleeting glimpse of a Barn Owl and we arrived at our hotel around 10pm for some much-needed sleep. Day 2 Wednesday 27th March The day got off to a sunny start. We left Plakias around 9am, observing four Little Egrets and a couple of little Ringed Plover on the shoreline. We made our first stop at the Turkish Bridge, where there was much evidence of the winter floods. The Mediterranean Storax Styrax officinalis, which would normally be flowering at this time of year, was still in tight bud; a good indication that spring was arriving late. Across the road, in the olive groves, there were plenty of yellow flowers starting to appear on the Bermuda Buttercup Oxalis pes-caprae, alongside Purple Viper’s Bugloss Echium plantagineum, which was attracting attention from a handsome Scarce Swallowtail butterfly.

    African Journal of Microbiology Research Vol. 4(12) pp. 1235-1238, 18 June, 2010 Available online http://www.academicjournals.org/ajmr ISSN 1996-0808 © 2010 Academic Journals Full Length Research Paper Evaluation of antimicrobial activity of Ballota acetabulosa Basaran Dulger1* and Alper Sener2 1Department of Biology, Faculty of Science and Arts, Canakkale Onsekiz Mart University, 17100 Canakkale – Turkey. 2Department of Infectious Disease, Faculty of Medicine, Canakkale Onsekiz Mart University, 17100 Canakkale – Turkey. Accepted 17th May, 2010 The ethanol extracts obtained from Ballota acetabulosa (L.) Benth (Lamiaceae) were investigated for their antimicrobial activity against Bacillus cereus ATCC 7064, Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633, Stapylococcus aureus ATCC 6538P, Escherichia coli ATCC 10538, Proteus vulgaris ATCC 6899, Salmonella typhimurium CCM 5445, Psuedomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853, Debaryomyces hansenii DSM 70238, Kluyveromyces fragilis ATCC 8608 and Rhodotorula rubra DSM 70403 by disc diffusion method and micro dilution method. The extracts showed strong antibacterial activity against E. coli, with inhibition zones of 18.6 mm and with minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) and minimum bactericidal concentrations (MBCs) of 16 (32) µg/mL, respectively. K. fragilis is among the most susceptible in the yeast cultures, with inhibition zone of 18.2 mm and with MICs and minimum fungicidal concentrations (MFCs) of 16 (32) µg/mL, respectively. Also, the extracts exhibited moderate activity in the other test of micro-organisms. The results demonstrate that the ethanol extract of the aerial parts of B. acetabulosa has significant activity and suggest that it may be useful in the treatment of infections. Key words: Ballota acetabulosa, ethanol extract, antimicrobial activity. INTRODUCTION The genus Ballota L.
