Complete Index of Common Names: Supplement to Tropical Timbers of the World (AH 607)
Complete Index of Common Names: Supplement to Tropical Timbers of the World (AH 607) by Nancy Ross Preface Since it was published in 1984, Tropical Timbers of the World has proven to be an extremely valuable reference to the properties and uses of tropical woods. It has been particularly valuable for the selection of species for specific products and as a reference for properties information that is important to effective pro- cessing and utilization of several hundred of the most commercially important tropical wood timbers. If a user of the book has only a common or trade name for a species and wishes to know its properties, the user must use the index of common names beginning on page 451. However, most tropical timbers have numerous common or trade names, depending upon the major region or local area of growth; furthermore, different species may be know by the same common name. Herein lies a minor weakness in Tropical Timbers of the World. The index generally contains only the one or two most frequently used common or trade names. If the common name known to the user is not one of those listed in the index, finding the species in the text is impossible other than by searching the book page by page. This process is too laborious to be practical because some species have 20 or more common names. This supplement provides a complete index of common or trade names. This index will prevent a user from erroneously concluding that the book does not contain a specific species because the common name known to the user does not happen to be in the existing index. -

E-mail: Abstract: The Rondônia Natural Resources Management Project (PLANAFLORO) was a strategic program developed in partnership between the Brazilian Government and The World Bank in 1992, with the purpose of stimulating the sustainable development and protection of the Amazon in the state of Rondônia. More than a decade after the PLANAFORO program concluded, the aim of the present work is to recover and share the information from the long-abandoned plant collections made during the project’s ecological-economic zoning phase. Most of the material analyzed was sterile, but the fertile voucher specimens recovered are listed here. The material examined represents 378 species in 234 genera and 76 families of angiosperms. Some 8 genera, 68 species, 3 subspecies and 1 variety are new records for Rondônia State. It is our intention that this information will stimulate future studies and contribute to a better understanding and more effective conservation of the plant diversity in the southwestern Amazon of Brazil. Introduction The PLANAFLORO Project funded botanical expeditions In early 1990, Brazilian Amazon was facing remarkably in different areas of the state to inventory arboreal plants high rates of forest conversion (Laurance et al. -

Mulateiro (Calycophyllum Spruceanum)
International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research, Volume 7, Issue 11, November-2016 87 ISSN 2229-5518 Mulateiro (Calycophyllum spruceanum) Stem Cell Extract: An Evaluation of Its Anti-Aging Effect on Human Adult Fibroblasts Figueiredo Filho D.A., Faria F.S.E.D.V., Rodriguez A.F.R., Vale P.A.A., Do Egito E.S.T., Marcal H. Abstract— In the present study, mulateiro (Calycophyllum spruceanum) stem cell (MSC) extract was evaluated for its antioxidant activity and anti-senescence effect against hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced oxidative stress in human adult fibroblast (HAF). Mulateiro is used as a medicinal plant for the treatment of skin wounds, cuts, burns and is also known to help combat the skin aging effects, parasites and fungal infections. Cells were treated with MSC extract following the induction of H2O2 oxidative stress. The senescence associated β- galactosidase (SA-β-gal) activity was used to evaluate the Anti-aging effect. MSC extract demonstrated antioxidant activity and anti- senescence effect against oxidative damage in fibroblast cells and suppressed H2 O2 stress-induced premature senescence in a concentration-dependent manner. At 0, 01 (0,1%) and 0,05 mg/mL (0,5%), MSC extract showed a positive effect by minimising cell cycle arrest and apoptosis induced by hydrogen peroxide. These findings provide scientific support for the potential use of mulateiro stem cell extract in treatment of skin disorders and as a skin anti-aging agent.

Original Research Paper MORPHOLOGICAL and GENETIC
AGRICULTURA TROPICA ET SUBTROPICA VOL. 44 (4) 2011 Original Research Paper MORPHOLOGICAL AND GENETIC DIVERSITY OF Calycophyllum spruceanum (BENTH) K. SCHUM (Rubiaceae) IN PERUVIAN AMAZON TAUCHEN J.*, LOJKA B., HLÁSNÁ-ČEPKOVÁ P., SVOBODOVÁ E., DVOŘÁKOVÁ Z., ROLLO A. Department of Crop Sciences and Agroforestry, Institute of Tropics and Subtropics, Czech University of Life Sciences Prague, Czech Republic Abstract Calycophyllum spruceanum is an important timber tree species in Peruvian Amazon Basin. Diversity was observed with reference to both morphological traits and genetic variance. Variance analysis showed significant differences in locality (site of collection) (p < 0.05). Provenance and progenies showed lower variation than locality. Genetic diversity was assessed using two Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) primers ITS1 and ITS4. Fragment sizes ranged between 600 and 700 bp. UPGMA analysis separated provenances heterogeneously. The resulting similarity matrix revealed values ranging between 0.672 and 0.977, with an average of 0.823. PCA analysis was unable to separate provenances. Our results suggest that morphological diversity is higher than the genetic one. The discovered genetic diversity under introduced analyses proved the outcrossing reproduction cycle and population genetics of C. spruceanum. Cleary distinguishable characteristics for each provenance were not found. Environment factor had a higher impact on phenotype on these studied provenances and localities. Our results are in line with statements of previous studies on C. spruceanum, suggesting a higher variation within provenances than among provenances. Acquired data will be used for Inter Simple Sequence Repeat (ISSR) assessment, giving more precise view on genetic diversity of C. spruceanum in Peruvian Amazon. Keywords: Calycophyllum spruceanum; genetic variation; Internal Transcribed Spacer; morphological description, provenances. -
