Presently, 140 species in 13 genera are recognized with many of these species considered to be endemic to threatened pine-oak forest or cloud forest ecosystems. Sixty-two species within the study group were included in a combined phylogenetic analysis of two regions of the nuclear ribosomal repeat, the internal and external transcribed spacers. Fifty-two of these taxa were analyzed in a phylogenetic framework for the first time. The results from the combined nrDNA analysis (62 species in 12 genera in the combined analysis) strongly support the monophyly of the Mexican tussilaginioid group, however, the topology and hypothesis testing using constraint models indicate that the genera Pittocaulon, Psacaliopsis, and Roldana are not monophyletic. Telanthophora s.s. is monophyletic, although this genus is nested within Roldana s.s. Endemism is abundant among the clade with over half of the species restricted to relatively small geographic areas. Moreover, vii most members of the group (ca. 120 species, or 87%) are present in montane regions under immense pressure from human land use practices at or above 1500 meters in Mexico and Guatemala. Two of the genera from my study group, Pippenalia and Psacaliopsis were taxonomically assessed based on their morphological characters and the nrDNA results. A single species, Psacaliopsis purpusii, remains in the genus, while Pippenalia delphinifolia, Psacaliopsis macdonaldii, and P. pudica are transferred to Psacalium. Funstonia gen. nov. is here erected a new genus encompassing a single species with two varieties. Chloroplast genomes of Arnoglossum atriplicifolium, Roldana aschenborniana, R. barba-johannis, and Telanthophora grandifolia were sequenced with next generation sequencing in order to identify regions of variation and to compare the assemblies produced via de novo and reference-based methods. The reference-based assemblies were more complete than the de novo assemblies, and therefore the former sequences were utilized for phylogenetic analyses. viii Table of Contents List of Tables .… ................................................................................................... xi List of Figures . ..................................................................................................... xii List of Illustrations . ............................................................................................. xiii List of Appendices . ............................................................................................. xiv Chapter 1: Introduction to the Mexican tussilaginioid group (Asteraceae: Senecioneae) ........................................................................................ 1 Chapter 2: Molecular phylogenetics of the endemic montane Mexican tussilaginioid group (Asteraceae: Senecioneae) ...................................................... 10 Introduction .................................................................................................. 11 Materials and Methods…..............................................................................12 Taxon sampling and DNA isolation .............................................. ….12 DNA amplification, sequencing, and alignment ............................ ….13 Phylogenetic analyses .................................................................... ….15 Congruence between ETS and ITS ................................................ ….16 Alternative hypothesis testing ........................................................ ….16 Results .......................................................................................................... 17 Phylogenetic analysis of ITS and ETS data .................................. ….17 Congruence test……………………………………………………...18 Combined data analysis ................................................................ ….18 Hypothesis testing ......................................................................... ….19 Discussion .................................................................................................... 20 Psacaliopsis purpusii, Robinsonecio (Clade 1) ............................. ….21 Psacaliopsis pinetorum/paneroi (Clade 2) .................................... ….22 Digitacalia (Clade 3) ..................................................................... ….23 Arnoglossum, Barkleyanthus, Yermo (Clade 4) ............................. ….24 Pippenalia, Psacaliopsis macdonaldii/pudica, Psacalium (Clade 5) .24 Roldana ‘Pericalia’ (Clade 6) ....................................................... ….26 Pittocaluon bombycophole (Clade 7) ............................................. ….26 Pittocaulon praecox/vellatum, Villasenoria (Clade 8) .................. ….27 Roldana petasitis complex (Clade 9) ............................................. ….28 Roldana sundbergii complex (Clade 10) ....................................... ….29 Roldana platanifolia complex (Clade 11) ...................................... ….30 Roldana mixtecana/reticulata (Clade 12) ...................................... ….30 Telanthophora (Clade 13) .............................................................

  • "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.

  • Outline of Angiosperm Phylogeny
    Outline of angiosperm phylogeny: orders, families, and representative genera with emphasis on Oregon native plants Priscilla Spears December 2013 The following listing gives an introduction to the phylogenetic classification of the flowering plants that has emerged in recent decades, and which is based on nucleic acid sequences as well as morphological and developmental data. This listing emphasizes temperate families of the Northern Hemisphere and is meant as an overview with examples of Oregon native plants. It includes many exotic genera that are grown in Oregon as ornamentals plus other plants of interest worldwide. The genera that are Oregon natives are printed in a blue font. Genera that are exotics are shown in black, however genera in blue may also contain non-native species. Names separated by a slash are alternatives or else the nomenclature is in flux. When several genera have the same common name, the names are separated by commas. The order of the family names is from the linear listing of families in the APG III report. For further information, see the references on the last page.

Un certain nombre de travaux portent sur la grossesse et l'accouchement au Mexique, mais le thème du post- partum a été peu étudié en profondeur, bien que les indigknes insistent sur le danger et l'importance des soins à cette période. Dans ce travail, la conception, la grossesse et l'accouchement sont décrits à titre introductif, tandis que les pratiques du post- partum sont analysées en détail : la période de repos de 20 ou 40 jours, le régime alimentaire particulier, l'abstinence sexuelle, les diverses précautions et prohibitions, les soins corporels, les tisanes, les bains de plantes et surtout, le bain de vapeur, à fonction à la fois thérapeutique et rituelle. L'article posele problème de l'analyse des données touchant aux pratiques corpo- relles féminines, difficilement verbalisées. Il amorce également une comparaison avec les pratiques des pays industrialisés occidentaux et suggère de puiser dans les pratiques et les connaissances des sociétés dites << traditionnelles >> pour remédier aux dépressions post-partum.

  • Chromosome Numbers in Compositae, XII: Heliantheae
    SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO BOTANY 0 NCTMBER 52 Chromosome Numbers in Compositae, XII: Heliantheae Harold Robinson, A. Michael Powell, Robert M. King, andJames F. 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.

Abstract The results from this research are based on historical data and data from herbarium co- llections prepared by Alexander von Humboldt and Aimé Bonpland in 1802 in the city of Quito and its surroundings. In the research, 142 species from the Humboldt and Bonpland’s collections have been selected because of their patrimonial value for the city’s inhabitants; those species were collected for the first time in this area and the plant collections include type-specimens used to describe the species. Twenty-five species are endemic to Ecuador and from those, Cynanchum serpyllifolium (Asclepiadaceae) has not been found for more than 100 years, while Aetheolaena ledifolia (Asteraceae) and Cyperus multifolius (Cypera- ceae) are only known from their type-collections made in 1802. Almost 80 per cent of the collected species were herbs, which showed the advanced human intervention at the time. These premises help to propose a plan that manages patrimonial plant concepts in Quito and its surrounding towns and to increase the appropriation and valorization processes.

Mihail Sadoveanu, nr. 3, 700490–Iaşi, Romania Corresponding author: [email protected] This second part of the paper about the vascular flora of Rarău Massif listed approximately half of the whole number of the species registered by the authors in their field trips or already included in literature on the same area. Other taxa have been added to the initial list of plants, so that, the total number of taxa registered by the authors in Rarău Massif amount to 1443 taxa (1133 species and 310 subspecies, varieties and forms). There was signaled out the alien taxa on the surveyed area (18 species) and those dubious presence of some taxa for the same area (17 species). Also, there were listed all the vascular plants, protected by various laws or regulations, both internal or international, existing in Rarău (i.e. 189 taxa). Finally, there has been assessed the degree of wild flora conservation, using several indicators introduced in literature by Nowak, as they are: conservation indicator (C), threat conservation indicator) (CK), sozophytisation indicator (W), and conservation effectiveness indicator (E). Key words: Vascular flora, Rarău Massif, Romania, conservation indicators. 1. INTRODUCTION A comprehensive analysis of Rarău flora, in terms of plant diversity, taxonomic structure, biological, ecological and phytogeographic characteristics, as well as in terms of the richness in endemics, relict or threatened plant species was published in our previous note (see Oprea & Sîrbu 2012).
