Cherimoya and Guanabana in the Archaeological Record of Peru
Journal of Ethnobiology 17(2):235-248 Winter 1997 CHERIMOYA AND GUANABANA IN THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL RECORD OF PERU THOMAS POZORSKI AND SHELIA POZORSKI Department of Psychology and Anthropology University of Texas-Pan American Edinburg, TX 78539 ABSTRACT.-Most researchers commonly assume that both cherimoya (Annona cherimolia) and guanabana (Annona muricata) have long been a part of the prehistoric record of ancient Peru. However, archaeological and ethnohistoric research in the past 25years strongly indicates that cherimoya was not introduced into Peru until ca. A.D. 1630 and that guanabana is only present after ca. A.D. 1000and is mainly associated with sites of the Chimu culture. RESUMEN.-La mayorfa de los investigadores suponen que tanto la chirimoya (Annona cherimola)como la guanabana (Annona muricata) han sido parte del registro prehist6rico del antiguo Peru por largo tiempo . Sin embargo, las in vestigaciones arqueol6gicas y etnohist6ricas de los ultimos veinticinco afios indican fuertemente que la chirimoya no fue introducida al Peru sino hasta 1630 D.C., Y que la guanabana esta presente s610 despues de aproximadamente 1000 D.C., Y esta asociada principalmente con sitios de la cultura chirmi. RESUME.- La plupart des chercheurs supposent couramment qu'une espece de pomme cannelle (Annonacherimolia)et le corossol (Annona muricata) ont faitpartie, pendant une longue periode, de l'inventaire prehistorique du Perou. Toutefois, les recherches archeologiques et ethnohistoriques des vingt-cinq dern ieres annees indiquent fortement que la pomme cannelle A. cherimolia ne fut introduite au Perou qu'aux environs de 1630 apr. J.-c. et la presence du corossol n'est attestee qu'en 1000apr. -

Consequently, a considerably cultivated area (~ 14,000 abundance of natural enemies. Therefore, the tropical flora, hectares) with these species is observed in Brazil. However, most with its unique biodiversity, is a promising natural reservoir of of Annona fruits production are destined for fruit-processing bioactive substances.

The taxonomy and distribution of Pacifi c Annonaceae are reviewed in light of recent changes in generic delimitations. A new species of the genus Monoon from the Solomon Archipelago is described, Monoon salomonicum I.M.Turner & Utteridge sp. nov., together with an apparently related new species from New Guinea, Monoon pachypetalum I.M.Turner & Utteridge sp. nov. The confi rmed presence of the genus in the Solomon Islands extends the generic range eastward beyond New Guinea. Two new species of Huberantha are described, Huberantha asymmetrica I.M.Turner & Utteridge sp. nov. and Huberantha whistleri I.M.Turner & Utteridge sp. nov., from the Solomon Islands and Samoa respectively. New combinations are proposed: Drepananthus novoguineensis (Baker f.) I.M.Turner & Utteridge comb. -

P.J. van der Meer Dr. Yeong Kok Loong * Corresponding author | [email protected] Preface This report has been issued by the South-East Asia Rainforest Research Program (SEARRP) as part of the Socially and Environmentally Sustainable Oil palm Research (SEnSOR) project, which aims to obtain an improved understanding of the effects and implications of sustainable oil palm agriculture. This study attempts to identify possible connections between deforestation, carbon storage and tree mortality in order to achieve improved sustainable management of High Conservation Value (HCV) areas and to gain knowledge on forest fragment dynamics in general. Abstract The number of primary rainforests in South-East Asia is in rapid decline since many formerly continuous forests become splintered as a result of human activities like mining, agriculture and silviculture. This study examined the effects of forest fragment size and logging on the tree carbon stocks and dead biomass proportions in lowland dipterocarp forests of Sabah, a Malaysian state on Borneo. -
(OUV) of the Wet Tropics of Queensland World Heritage Area
Handout 2 Natural Heritage Criteria and the Attributes of Outstanding Universal Value (OUV) of the Wet Tropics of Queensland World Heritage Area The notes that follow were derived by deconstructing the original 1988 nomination document to identify the specific themes and attributes which have been recognised as contributing to the Outstanding Universal Value of the Wet Tropics. The notes also provide brief statements of justification for the specific examples provided in the nomination documentation. Steve Goosem, December 2012 Natural Heritage Criteria: (1) Outstanding examples representing the major stages in the earth’s evolutionary history Values: refers to the surviving taxa that are representative of eight ‘stages’ in the evolutionary history of the earth. Relict species and lineages are the elements of this World Heritage value. Attribute of OUV (a) The Age of the Pteridophytes Significance One of the most significant evolutionary events on this planet was the adaptation in the Palaeozoic Era of plants to life on the land. The earliest known (plant) forms were from the Silurian Period more than 400 million years ago. These were spore-producing plants which reached their greatest development 100 million years later during the Carboniferous Period. This stage of the earth’s evolutionary history, involving the proliferation of club mosses (lycopods) and ferns is commonly described as the Age of the Pteridophytes. The range of primitive relict genera representative of the major and most ancient evolutionary groups of pteridophytes occurring in the Wet Tropics is equalled only in the more extensive New Guinea rainforests that were once continuous with those of the listed area. -
Plants of the Annonaceae Traditionally Used As Antimalarials: a Review1
315 PLANTS OF THE ANNONACEAE TRADITIONALLY USED AS ANTIMALARIALS: A REVIEW1 GINA FRAUSIN2 , RENATA BRAGA SOUZA LIMA3, ARI DE FREITAS HIDALGO4, PAUL MAAS5, ADRIAN MARTIN POHLIT6 ABSTRACT- Species of the Annonaceae family are used all over the tropics in traditional medicine in tropical regions for the treatment of malaria and other illnesses. Phytochemical studies of this family have revealed chemical components which could offer new alternatives for the treatment and control of malaria. Searches in scientific reference sites (SciFinder Scholar, Scielo, PubMed, ScienceDirect and ISI Web of Science) and a bibliographic literature search for species of Annonaceae used traditionally to treat malaria and fever were carried out. This family contains 2,100 species in 123 genera. We encountered 113 articles reporting medicinal use of one or more species of this family including 63 species in 27 genera with uses as antimalarials and febrifuges. Even though the same species of Annonaceae are used by diverse ethnic groups, different plant parts are often chosen for applications, and diverse methods of preparation and treatment are used. The ethanol extracts of Polyalthia debilis and Xylopia aromatica proved to be quite active against Plasmodium falciparum in vitro (median inhibition concentration, IC50 < 1.5 µg/mL). Intraperitoneal injection of Annickia chlorantha aqueous extracts (cited as Enantia chlorantha) cleared chloroquine-resistant Plasmodium yoelii nigeriensis from the blood of mice in a dose-dependant manner. More phytochemical profiles of Annonaceous species are required; especially information on the more commonly distributed antimalarial compounds in this family. Index terms: Malaria, Plasmodium falciparum, Plasmodium yoelii nigeriensis. PLANTAS DA FAMILIA ANNONACEAE TRADICIONALMENTE USADAS COMO ANTIMALÁRICOS: UMA REVISÃO RESUMO- Espécies da família Annonaceae têm amplo uso na medicina tradicional em regiões tropicais para o tratamento da malária e de sintomas como febres, dentre outras doenças.
