Our work is focused both in the internal relationships among representatives of Omphalodes main subgroups (and including Omphalodes verna, the type species), and their relationships with other Cynoglosseae genera that have been related to the Omphalodes group. Our phylogenetic analysis of ITS and trnL-trnF molecular markers establish close relationships of the American Omphalodes with the genus Mimophytum, and also with Cynoglossum paniculatum and Myosotidium hortensia. The southwestern European annual Omphalodes species form a discrete group deserving taxonomic recognition. We describe two new genera to reduce the paraphyly in the genus Omphalodes, accommodating the European annual species in Iberodes and Cynoglossum paniculatum in Mapuchea. The pollen of the former taxon is described in detail for the first time. Keywords: Madrean-Tethyan, phylogeny, pollen, systematics, taxonomy Resumo Neste estudo analisamos as relacións filoxenéticas deOmphalodes (Boraginaceae, Cynoglosseae) no contexto da tribo Cynoglosseae, confirmándose como parafilético o xéneroOmphalodes .

  • The Pyrenees
    The Pyrenees A Greentours Holiday for the Alpine Garden Society 10th to 23rd June 2011 Led by Paul Cardy Trip Report and Systematic Lists by Paul Cardy Day 1 Friday 10 th June Arrival and Transfer to Formigueres Having driven from the south western Alps and reached Carcassonne the previous evening, I continued to Toulouse to meet the group at the airport. I was unexpectedly delayed by French customs who stopped me at the toll booth entering the city. There followed a lengthy questioning, as I had to unpack the contents of my suspiciously empty Italian mini-bus and show them my two large boxes of books, suitcase full of clothes, picnic supplies, etc., to convince them my purpose was a botanical tour to the Pyrenees. Now a little late I arrived breathlessly at Toulouse airport and rushed to the gate to meet Margaret, and the New Zealand contingent of Chris, Monica, Archie and Lynsie, hurriedly explaining the delay. Anyway we were soon back on the motorway and heading south towards Foix. White Storks in a field on route was a surprise. We made a picnic stop at a functional aire where there were tables, and a selection of weedy plants. Black Kite soared overhead. Once past Foix and Ax-les- Thermes the scenery became ever more interesting as we wound our way up to a misty Col de Puymorens. There a short stop yielded Pulsatilla vernalis in fruit and Trumpet Gentians. Roadside cliffs had Rock Soapwort, Saxifraga paniculata , and Elder-flowered Orchids became numerous. Now in the Parc Naturel Régional des Pyrénées Catalanes, a fascinating route down into the valley took us through Saillagouse and Mont-Louis before heading up a minor road to the village of Formigueres, our base for the first three nights.

This has raised concerns about their impacts, particularly on shared resources with humans, e.g., timber trees. Understanding how different ungulate species use trophic resources is therefore a crucial component of managing their populations. In this thesis, I synthesized data from the literature and used faecal DNA metabarcoding to investigate diets and patterns of resource partitioning for ungulate communities in Sweden and at the European scale. I also evaluated the reliability of dung morphometry for identifying ungulate species. I found that species identification of faecal pellets is difficult where similar-sized ungulates coexist which questions the reliability of pellet counts as a monitoring technique in such systems. Dung morphometry could, however, clearly distinguish moose from the smaller deer species. Across Europe, average diets of the four main deer species fit well with predictions by Hofmann’s hypothesis of ruminant feeding types. Red and fallow deer (mixed feeders) showed larger dietary plasticity than moose and roe deer (browsers).

These SMs (less toxic and biodegradable) and their derivatives have been recognised as versatile source of biologically active drugs. The most of the drugs used in present medicinal system have direct or indirect relation with secondary metabolites. So, during last few decades the interest has increased in the study of phytochemical composition of aforementioned plants to evaluate their prospective in modern medicinal system. Amongst various plant families which have been known for their medicinal and therapeutic values, Labiatae (Mint) family (Genus Nepeta) remains quite important. Essential oils extracted from various parts of species of above said genus have been a vital source of terpenoid and oxygenated terpenoid hydrocarbons especially sesquiterpene hydrocarbons and their oxygenated derivatives. These compounds have been known for their inherent biological activities viz. sedative, diaphoretic, feberifuge, expectorant, diuretic, stomach tonic, antispasmodic, antipyretics, anti-viral, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, fungicidal, insecticidal, insect repellent and antidote against snakes and scorpion bites etc. The present communication constitutes a review on the chemical composition of essential oils (only key constituents) extracted from genus Nepeta along with the details of their specific area of collection, height, specific time in a year, stage of plant collection, method used for extraction and technique of analysis.
