Year-Round Colour in the Garden
design ideas Year-round colour in the garden Given a bit of planning, you can select plants that will help provide a progression of colour and interest right through the floriferous months of spring and summer and on into autumn and winter Words ANNIE GUILFOYLE hen people say “…oh and of course its dark, velvety leaves, makes a very handsome my garden must have colour all year backdrop.

From Witch Doctor to Modern Medicine: Searching the American Tropics for Potentially New Medicinal Plants
From Witch Doctor to Modern Medicine: Searching the American Tropics for Potentially New Medicinal Plants "And as there are discouvered new Regions, new King- doms and new Provinces by our Spaniards, so they have brought unto us new Medicines, and newe Remedies, wherewith they do cure many infirmities, which, if we did lacke them, would be incurible, and without any remedie ... for which cause I did pretend to treate, and to write of all things that they bring from our Indias, apperteyning to the Arte and Use of Medicine, and the remedie of hurtes and diseases that we doo suffer and endure ...". Nicholas Monardes [transl. John Frampton] "Joyfull Newes out of the New-found World" (1596) The search for potential new medicines from the Plant King- dom is not new. It has been carried on since man first became aware ot the variety ot ettects that plants had on his mind and body. It is still under way. But we now have many ad- vantages over man in all prior ages. We have millennia of experience behind us; a deeper understanding of what plants are and how they live; an intensity of modern technology to help us; and, what is more important than all of the other advantages, a determination to probe into the still virgin vegetal world for active compounds of promise for man’s existence. Today we follow several discreet paths in our search for "new" medicinal plants. Some modern programs - ambitious, technologically com- plex and potentially promising - have emphasized the random or semi-random screening of plants from all parts of the world for new organic compounds. -

The Alien Vascular Flora of Tuscany (Italy)
Quad. Mus. St. Nat. Livorno, 26: 43-78 (2015-2016) 43 The alien vascular fora of Tuscany (Italy): update and analysis VaLerio LaZZeri1 SUMMARY. 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. Parole chiave: Piante vascolari, Xenofte, Nuovi ritrovamenti, Specie invasive, Mediterraneo. Introduction establishment of long-lasting economic exchan- ges between close or distant countries. As a result The Mediterranean basin is considered as one of this context, non-native plant species have of the world most biodiverse areas, especially become an important component of the various as far as its vascular fora is concerned. -

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. -

The Uthukela District Municipality Biodiversity Sector Plan. Unpublished Report, Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife, Pietermaritzburg
BIODIVERSITY SECTOR PLAN FOR THE UTHUKELA DISTRICT MUNICIPALITY, KWAZULU-NATAL TECHNICAL REPORT Authors: Afzelia Environmental Consultants cc Wolfgang Kanz John Richardson Editors Tim O’Connor & Associates Tim O’Connor Contributors EnvironDev Gina Thompson Suggested Citation: Kanz W.A., O’Connor T.G., Richardson J., Nel G, Nel, W. The uThukela District Municipality Biodiversity Sector Plan. Unpublished report, Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife, Pietermaritzburg. 0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Biodiversity Act introduced several legislated planning tools to assist with the management and conservation of South Africa’s biological diversity. These include the declaration of “Bioregions” and the publication of “Bioregional Plans”. Bioregional plans are usually an output of a systematic spatial conservation assessment of a region. They identify areas of conservation priority, and constraints and opportunities for implementation of the plan. The precursor to a Bioregional Plan is a Biodiversity Sector Plan (BSP), which is the official reference for biodiversity priorities to be taken into account in land-use planning and decision-making by all sectors within the District Municipality. The consultant team was appointed to fulfil the requirements of a BSP for the uThukela District Municipality, as informed by SANBI, the Bioregional Guidelines (DEAT, 2007), current best practice, and the EKZNW Project Terms of Reference. The final product is a series of maps highlighting those areas that are critically important for biodiversity, with accompanying land-use and management guidelines that serve to guide decision-making and inform multi-sectoral planning. The process involved extensive mapping of vegetation types and species data (where available), ecological processes, transformation and threats, and setting of biodiversity targets. -

Chemodiversity of Exudate Flavonoids in Seven Tribes of Cichorioideae and Asteroideae (Asteraceae)§ Karin M.Valant-Vetscheraa and Eckhard Wollenweberb,* a Department of Plant Systematics and Evolution Ð Comparative and Ecological Phytochemistry, University of Vienna, Rennweg 14, A-1030 Wien, Austria b Institut für Botanik der TU Darmstadt, Schnittspahnstrasse 3, D-64287 Darmstadt, Germany. E-mail: [email protected] * Author for correspondence and reprint requests Z. Naturforsch. 62c, 155Ð163 (2007); received October 26/November 24, 2006 Members of several genera of Asteraceae, belonging to the tribes Mutisieae, Cardueae, Lactuceae (all subfamily Cichorioideae), and of Astereae, Senecioneae, Helenieae and Helian- theae (all subfamily Asteroideae) have been analyzed for chemodiversity of their exudate flavonoid profiles. The majority of structures found were flavones and flavonols, sometimes with 6- and/or 8-substitution, and with a varying degree of oxidation and methylation. Flava- nones were observed in exudates of some genera, and, in some cases, also flavonol- and flavone glycosides were detected. This was mostly the case when exudates were poor both in yield and chemical complexity. Structurally diverse profiles are found particularly within Astereae and Heliantheae. The tribes in the subfamily Cichorioideae exhibited less complex flavonoid profiles. Current results are compared to literature data, and botanical information is included on the studied taxa.
