We produce our herbal extracts in our new, FDA-audited, GMP- compliant herb processing facility which is located just two miles from our certified-organic herb farm. This assures prompt delivery of freshly-harvested herbs directly from the fields, or recently HPLC chromatograph showing dried herbs directly from the farm’s drying loft. Here we also biochemical consistency of 6 receive other organic and wildcrafted herbs from various parts of batches of St. John’s Wort extracts the USA and world. In producing our herbal extracts we use precision scientific instru- ments to analyze each herb’s many chemical compounds. However, You’ll find Herb Pharm we do not focus entirely on the herb’s so-called “active compound(s)” at fine natural products and, instead, treat each herb and its chemical compounds as an integrated whole. -

Pham & Kloppenb. is described and illustrated. The molecular data is provided; this species was found in Dak Lak province, southern Vietnam. Diagnostic features of the new species are a milky latex lithophytic vine and pure white with red-purple centre flowers. The described species clearly differs from closely related H. hainanensis in number of characters: a leaf blade shortly attenuated and wavy margins at the base, a hairy abaxial leaf surface, a bigger calyx with few sparse hairs or glabrous, a bigger corolla with acute lobe, shorter pollinia, as well as molecular characters. -
Patterns of Plant Diversity and Endemism in Namibia
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Stellenbosch University SUNScholar Repository Bothalia 36,2: 175-189(2006) Patterns of plant diversity and endemism in Namibia P. CRAVEN* and P VORSTER** Keywords: Namibia, phytogeography, plant endemism ABSTRACT Species richness, endemism and areas that are rich in both species and endemic species were assessed and mapped for Namibia. High species diversity corresponds with zones where species overlap. These are particularly obvious where there are altitudinal variations and in high-lying areas. The endemic flora o f Namibia is rich and diverse. An estimated 16% of the total plant species in Namibia are endemic to the country. Endemics are in a wide variety o f families and sixteen genera are endemic. Factors that increase the likelihood o f endemism are mountains, hot deserts, diversity o f substrates and microclimates. The distribution of plants endemic to Namibia was arranged in three different ways. Firstly, based on a grid count with the phytogeographic value of the species being equal, overall endemism was mapped. Secondly, range restricted plant species were mapped individually and those with congruent distribution patterns were combined. Thirdly, localities that are important for very range-restricted species were identified. The resulting maps of endemism and diversity were compared and found to correspond in many localities. When overall endemism is compared with overall diversity, rich localities may consist o f endemic species with wide ranges. The other methods identify important localities with their own distinctive complement of species. INTRODUCTION (1994). It was based on distributional data per magiste rial district following Merxmiiller (1966-1972), as well Species diversity was traditionally measured by count as other literature. -
Potential for Domestication and Commercialization of Hoodia and Opuntia Species in Botswana
African Journal of Biotechnology Vol. 7 (9), pp. 1199-1203, 2 May, 2008 Available online at http://www.academicjournals.org/AJB ISSN 1684–5315 © 2008 Academic Journals Review Potential for domestication and commercialization of Hoodia and Opuntia species in Botswana Tibe, O.1*, Modise, D. M.2 and Mogotsi, K. K.1 1Faculty of Agriculture, Botswana College of Agriculture, P/Bag 0027, Gaborone. Botswana. 2College of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences, University of South Africa, P.O. Box 392, Tshwane, 0003, South Africa. Accepted 10 April, 2007 The species Hoodia (Apocynaceae) and Opuntia (prickly pear) (Cactaceae) are highly efficient in water use and belong to the Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM) group of plants. These plant species are quite abundant in Botswana especially in the Kalahari Desert, prickly pear being the most dominant even though they have received very little commercial attention in the country. Elsewhere in the world, prickly pear has multiple uses such as their utilisation in the pharmaceutical industry, as a source of food and drink for animals in the rural communities, and are important in the weaving and clothing industry. Other important uses of the species are manufacturing of paper, making of toothpicks, needles, pins and for numerous essential products. Recently the world has been introduced to Hoodia gordonii or curorri that works as a natural appetite suppressant. This paper reviews the potential uses of Opuntia and Hoodia spp, identifies the important species used by communities in Botswana and recommends protocols and instruments for research, cultivation, and commercialization of these species in the country. Key words: Commercialisation, communities, domestication Hoodia, Opuntia. -

Apocynaceae of Namibia
S T R E L I T Z I A 34 The Apocynaceae of Namibia P.V. Bruyns Bolus Herbarium Department of Biological Sciences University of Cape Town Rondebosch 7701 Pretoria 2014 S T R E L I T Z I A This series has replaced Memoirs of the Botanical Survey of South Africa and Annals of the Kirstenbosch Botanic Gardens, which the South African National Biodiversity Institute (SANBI) inherited from its predecessor organisa- tions. The plant genus Strelitzia occurs naturally in the eastern parts of southern Africa. It comprises three arbores- cent species, known as wild bananas, and two acaulescent species, known as crane flowers or bird-of-paradise flowers. The logo of SANBI is partly based on the striking inflorescence of Strelitzia reginae, a native of the Eastern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal that has become a garden favourite worldwide. It symbolises the commitment of SANBI to champion the exploration, conservation, sustainable use, appreciation and enjoyment of South Africa’s excep- tionally rich biodiversity for all people.
