  • Reinstatement of Gymnosporia (Celastraceae): Implications for the Flora Malesiana Region
    155 Reinstatement of Gymnosporia (Celastraceae): implications for the Flora Malesiana region Marie Jordaan and A.E. van Wyk Abstract Jordaan, Marie1 and van Wyk, A.E.2 (1National Botanical Institute, Private Bag X101, Pretoria, Republic of South Africa 0001; e-mail: [email protected]; 2Department of Botany, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, Republic of South Africa 0002; e-mail: [email protected]) 2003. Reinstatement of Gymnosporia (Celastraceae): implications for the Flora Malesiana region. Telopea 10(1): 155–167. The reinstatement of the genus Gymnosporia, comprising all the spiny members previously included in the genus Maytenus, has implications for the Flora Malesiana region. An account is given of six species and two varieties in the region (Gymnosporia curtisii, G. diversifolia, G. inermis, G. littoralis, G. nitida, G. spinosa var. spinosa and var. parva). The new combination G. littoralis (Backer) Jordaan is made (based on Gymnosporia montana var. littoralis) and a neotype and lectotype designated for two other taxa. G. emarginata from India and Sri Lanka is also included since this name was previously misapplied to plants in the Flora Malesiana region. Maytenus rapakir is mentioned as probably belonging to Gymnosporia. Maytenus cupularis, which has a racemose inflorescence, is related to the Australian species of Maytenus s. lat. and is retained in Maytenus. Introduction The Celastraceae account for the Flora Malesiana was published by Ding Hou in 1962 and 1964. His genus concepts coincide with those of Exell (1952, 1953), Blakelock (1956), Marais (1960) and Robson (1965, 1966 & 1994) in that he considers Gymnosporia and Maytenus to be congeneric.

  • Comparison of Different Classifications on the Celastraceae
    UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICLJLTURE AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH SERVICE NORTHEASTERN REGlON AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH CENTER BELTSVILLE. MARYLAND 20705 Novenber 7, 1974 / Subject: ConpadSon of Different Classifications on the Celastraceae in Africa with Discussions on the Status of Gymnosporia and Other Genera To : R. E. Perdue, Jr., Chief ,.. Medicinal Plant Resources ~aboratory Currently, the taxonomy of the Celastraceae is in a state of confusion. A few recent revisions limited mostly ,to political boundaries, have helped to clarify the systematics in a few genera; however, the continued disagreement among generic relationships seems to make it nore difficult for the non-specialist. Because of special efforts to procure plant samples in this family, frequent synonomy has led to confusion as well as duplica- tion, especially in Africa where a number of samples have been received from floristically related countries in which different authorities are recogcized for the Celastracean Flora. This report, primarily, will 'deal with the systematic problems of the African Celasrrtseae. Until recently, the Hippocrateaceae was treated as a separate family from the Celastraceae (Smith, 1940; Loesener, 1942; Wilczek, 1960; Hallee, 1962). L Robson (1965, 1966), Ding Hou (1963, 1964), Blakelock (1958), and Codd (1972) have united the Hippocrateaceae with the Celastraceae; but, their reasons for uniting the two families are not in agreement. The Celastraceae is believed by Codd and Kobson to comprise about 60 to 70 genera, but Ding Hou has indicated that there are about 90 genera. For the purpose of identifying two major complexes, which taxonomists are not in agreement, I will refer to the Celastraceae and Hippocrateaceae as two separate families.

The organization has more than 12,000 members and supporters and maintains offices in New Mexico, Colorado and Arizona. WildEarth Guardians has an active endangered species program that works to protect imperiled species and their habitat throughout the United States and its territories. THE ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT AND IMPLEMENTING REGULATIONS The Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA) protects plants and animals that are listed by the federal government as “endangered” or “threatened” (16 U.S.C. § 1531 et seq.). Any interested person may submit a written petition to the Secretary of the Interior requesting him to list a species as “endangered” or “threatened” under the ESA (50 C.F.R. § 424.14(a)). An “endangered species” is “any species that is in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range” (16 U.S.C. § 1532(6)). A “threatened species” is defined as “any species which is likely to become an endangered species within the foreseeable future throughout all or a significant portion of its range” (16 U.S.C § 1532(20)). “Species” includes subspecies and distinct population segments of sensitive taxa (16 U.S.C § 1532(16)).

    Revista260 Colombiana de Entomología 44 (2): 260-265 (Julio - Diciembre 2018) DOI: 10.25100/socolen.v44i2.7327 Genetic variability in Aegorhinus superciliosus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) populations in Chilean Maytenus boaria (Celastrales: Celastraceae) Variabilidad genética en poblaciones de Aegorhinus superciliosus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), en Maytenus boaria (Celastrales: Celastraceae) de Chile LUIS HUALA1, MARCO PAREDES2, LUIS SALAZAR3, MARIO ELGUETA4 y RAMÓN REBOLLEDO5 Abstract: The raspberry weevil (Aegorhinus superciliosus) is a curculionid native of Chile and part of Argentina. This insect is considered to be a pest to both European hazel (Corylus avellana) and blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum) fruit plantations in south-central Chile and has caused considerable economic damage to the local fruit industry. The aim of this study was to evaluate the genetic variability within A. superciliosus populations associated with Maytenus boaria. Adult A. superciliosus specimens were collected from Máfil, Futrono, La Unión and Frutillar populations. Their classification and storage was carried out at the Animal Biotechnology Research Laboratory (LINBA) of the Universidad de La Frontera, Temuco, Chile. Molecular analysis was assessed through ISSR (Inter Simple Sequence Repeats). Results showed high genetic similarities across all studied populations. A positive correlation was observed between genetic variability and geographic distribution. The southernmost populations (Futrono, La Unión and Frutillar) expressed high interspecific genetic similarities, associated with the abundance of M. boaria, which allows for genetic flow throughout the studied area. The low level of genetic variability in A. superciliosus populations in southern Chile is likely to be correlated with the large number of hosts found in agricultural and forest ecosystems which have the capacity to colonize extensive areas in this part of the country.

  • A New Species of Maytenus (Celastraceae) from Southern Natal
    A new species of Maytenus (Celastraceae) from southern Natal A.E. van Wyk H.G.W.J. Schweickerdt Herbarium, Department of Botany, University of Pretoria, Pretoria Maytenus abbottii Van Wyk, a rare shrub or small tree Introduction endemic to the Table Mountain Sandstone area of southern Several interesting specimens of celastraceous plants have Natal, is described. It is a remarkable species combining several features either absent from or rare in the other recently been collected in the forest relics of southern Natal. southern African species of Maytenus Molina. The taxonomic Among these specimens were a number initially thought to affinities of M. abbottii are obscure but they may lie with represent variations of Maytenus acuminata (L.f.) Loes. M. acuminata {L.f.) Loes. and allies. Diagnostic characters However, a comparative morphological study as well as field include: leaf and bark with elastic threads shown on breaking; observations indicated that besides typical M. acuminata , abbreviated axillary racemes densely set with imbricate three other distinct taxa are involved. One of these is a bracts; tetramerous flowers; stamens incurved apically and remarkable new species displaying an unusual combination fused at the base; style relatively long and slender with a of character states. It is provisionally placed in Maytenus peltate stigma; ovary almost entirely immersed in, and adnate to, the disc {hypanthium?); seeds with postchalazal vascular Molina and described in the present paper. To discuss the bundles and a white puberulent aril. possible affinities of this new species, brief comments on S. Afr. J. Bot. 1984, 3: 115-119 M. acuminata and the remaining two species are made.
