The most recent monographers of Sapium and related genera (Kruijt 1996; Esser 2002) place our single naturalized species in the genus Triadica, native to Asia; Sapium (excluding Triadica) is a genus of 21 species restricted to the neotropics. This conclusion is corroborated by molecular phylogenetic analysis (Wurdack, Hoffmann, & Chase (2005).

  • The Genus Baptisia in Alabama
    Woods, M. and A.R. Diamond, Jr. 2014. The genus Baptisia in Alabama. Phytoneuron 2014-83: 1–11. Published 12 August 2014. ISSN 2153 733X THE GENUS BAPTISIA (FABACEAE) IN ALABAMA MICHAEL WOODS [email protected] ALVIN R. DIAMOND , JR. Department of Biological and Environmental Sciences Troy University Troy, Alabama 36082 ABSTRACT The primary objectives of this project were to determine which species of Baptisia (Fabaceae) occur in Alabama and to report the county distribution of each. Baptisia , known commonly as wild or false indigo, is recognized as consisting of seven species in Alabama. The most common species are Baptisia alba, B. bracteata, and B. megacarpa. The less common species are B. lanceolata and B. albescens . The least common species are B. australis and B. perfoliata. The dichotomous key and descriptions we present are modifications from earlier authors; however, all measurements are based on morphological features of the vegetative and reproductive structures of the more than 200 specimens studied during this project. Data for the county-level distribution maps were compiled entirely from herbarium vouchers. Baptisia , commonly known as wild or false indigo, consists of 18 species, 7 infraspecific taxa, and 6 hybrids confined to the eastern USA and Canada (NatureServe 2013). Of these, 15 species have been reported from the southeastern USA (Isely 1990) and eight species and one infraspecific taxon have been reported from Alabama (Kral et al. 2011). The genus Baptisia Vent. is a member of the legume family Fabaceae (Leguminosae), tribe Thermopsideae, which includes six genera and approximately 45 species scattered through the Mediterranean and eastern North America (Turner 1981).

    Nat. Volatiles & Essent. Oils, 2017: 4(4): 14-27 Celep & Dirmenci REVIEW Systematic and Biogeographic overview of Lamiaceae in Turkey Ferhat Celep1,* and Tuncay Dirmenci2 1 Mehmet Akif Ersoy mah. 269. cad. Urankent Prestij Konutları, C16 Blok, No: 53, Demetevler, Ankara, TURKEY 2 Biology Education, Necatibey Education Faculty, Balıkesir University, Balıkesir, TURKEY *Corresponding author. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Lamiaceae is the third largest family based on the taxon number and fourth largest family based on the species number in Turkey. The family has 48 genera and 782 taxa (603 species, 179 subspecies and varieties), 346 taxa (271 species, 75 subspecies and varieties) of which are endemic (ca. 44%) (data updated 1th February 2017) in the country. There are also 23 hybrid species, 19 of which are endemic (82%). The results proven that Turkey is one of the centers of diversity for Lamiaceae in the Old World. In addition, Turkey has about 10% of all Lamiaceae members in the World. The largest five genera in the country based on the taxon number are Stachys (118 taxa), Salvia (107 taxa), Sideritis (54 taxa), Phlomis (53 taxa) and Teucrium (49 taxa). According to taxon number, five genera with the highest endemism ratio are Dorystaechas (1 taxon, 100%), Lophantus (1 taxon, 100%), Sideritis (54 taxa, 74%), Drymosiphon (9 taxa, 67%), and Marrubium (27 taxa, 63%). There are two monotypic genera in Turkey as Dorystaechas and Pentapleura. Turkey sits on the junction of three phytogeographic regions with highly diverse climate and the other ecologic features. Phytogeographic distribution of Turkish Lamiaceae taxa are 293 taxa in the Mediterranean (37.4%), 267 taxa in the Irano-Turanian (36.7%), 90 taxa in the Euro-Siberian (Circumboreal) phytogeographic region, and 112 taxa in Unknown or Multiregional (14.3%) phytogeographical elements.

  • A Comparative Pharmacognostical Study of Certain Clerodendrum Species (Family Lamiaceae) Cultivated in Egypt
    A Comparative Pharmacognostical Study of Certain Clerodendrum Species (Family Lamiaceae) Cultivated in Egypt A Thesis Submitted By Asmaa Mohamed Ahmed Khalil For the Degree of Master in Pharmaceutical Sciences (Pharmacognosy) Under the Supervision of Prof. Dr. Prof. Dr. Soheir Mohamed El Zalabani Hesham Ibrahim El-Askary Professor of Pharmacognosy Professor of Pharmacognosy Faculty of Pharmacy Faculty of Pharmacy Cairo University Cairo University Assistant Prof. Dr. Omar Mohamed Sabry Assistant Professor of Pharmacognosy Faculty of Pharmacy Cairo University Pharmacognosy Department Faculty of Pharmacy Cairo University A.R.E. 2019 Abstract A Comparative Pharmacognostical Study of Certain Clerodendrum Species (Family Lamiaceae) Cultivated in Egypt Clerodendrum inerme L. Gaertn. and Clerodendrum splendens G. Don, two members of the cosmopolitan family Lamiaceae, are successfully acclimatized in Egypt. The current study aimed to evaluate the local plants as potential candidates for implementation in pharmaceutical industries, which necessitates an intensive investigation of safety and bioactivity of the cited species. To ensure quality and purity of the raw material, criteria for characterization of and/or discrimination between the two species were established via botanical profiling, proximate analysis, phytochemical screening and UPLC analysis. The leaves were subjected to comparative biological and chemical study to select the most suitable from the medicinal and economic standpoints. In this respect, the antioxidant cyotoxic and antimicrobial potentials of the defatted ethanol (70%) extracts of the tested samples were assessed in-vitro. Meanwhile, the chemical composition of the leaves was examined through qualitative and quantitative comparative analyses of the phenolic components. In this respect, The leaves of C. inerme were selected for more intensive both phytochemical and biological investigation.

    Publication WSFNR-21-09C February 2021 Endangered Species: HAIRY RATTLEWEED / COBWEBBY WILD INDIGO / FALSE WILD INDIGO Baptisia arachnifera Dr. Kim D. Coder, Professor of Tree Biology & Health Care / University Hill Fellow University of Georgia Warnell School of Forestry & Natural Resources The hairy rattleweed is a unique plant of the Georgia Coastal Plain. It is perennial, multi- branched, 50-80cm (20-32 inches) tall with a reddish-brown stem covered by dense silvery-white tri- chomes (plant hairs). It is in the bean family. Leaves are nearly round or heart-shaped, alternate, 3-8cm (1.2-3.2 inches) long, 2-7cm (0.8-2.8 inches) wide, leathery, with upper surface green, bottom surface yellowish, & covered with long, silvery- white trichomes. Flowering is in late June to July. Flowers are bright yellow, pea-like, and grow in erect clusters at the branch tips above the leaves. Flowers have 5 petals. Fruiting is in late summer. Fruit is a bean- pod, densely covered with trichomes, 8-15mm (0.3-0.6 inches) long. The pod tapers into a long, thin point nearly as long as the body. Hairy rattleweed is found on sandy soils in open pine woods or mixed pine-hardwoods in the southeast Coastal Plain. It is found along low, sandy ridges in pine-palmetto-gallberry flatwoods and along sandy roadsides, old fields, and under open pine plantations. This species is fire dependent and is most abundant after fire. Thinning, cutting, and burning forest sites may improve habitat. Site/soil disturbance, moderate shading, and heavy grazing destroys habitat. Figure 1 shows a general distribution of this species across the Southeastern United States.

HOLMES ABSTRACT - Field studies in the Gus Engeling Wildlife Management Area, which consists of approximately 4465.5 ha (11,034.1 acres) of the Post Oak Savannah of Anderson County, have resulted in an annotated checklist of the vascular flora corroborating its remarkable species richness. A total of 930 taxa (excluding family names), belonging to 485 genera and 145 families are re- corded. Asteraceae (124 species), Poaceae (114 species), Fabaceae (67 species), and Cyperaceae (61 species) represented the largest families. Six Texas endemic taxa occur on the site: Brazoria truncata var. pulcherrima (B. pulcherrima), Hymenopappus carrizoanus, Palafoxia reverchonii, Rhododon ciliatus, Trades- cantia humilis, and T. subacaulis. Within Texas, Zigadenus densus is known only from the study area. The area also has a large number of species that are endemic to the West Gulf Coastal Plain and Carrizo Sands phytogeographic distribution patterns. Eleven vegetation alliances occur on the property, with the most notable being sand post oak-bluejack oak, white oak-southern red oak-post oak, and beakrush-pitcher plant alliances. INTRODUCTION The Post Oak Savannah (Gould 1962) comprises about 4,000,000 ha of gently rolling to hilly lands that lie immediately west of the Pineywoods (Timber belt). Some (Allred and Mitchell 1955, Dyksterhuis 1948) consider the vegetation of the area as part of the deciduous forest; i.e., burned out forest that is presently regenerating.
