The origin of fire-adapted lineages is a long-standing question in ecology. Although phylogeny can provide a significant contribution to the ongoing debate, its use has been precluded by the lack of comprehensive DNA data. Here we focus on the ‘underground trees’ (= geoxyles) of southern Africa, one of the most distinctive growth forms characteristic of fire-prone savannas. 2. We placed geoxyles within the most comprehensive dated phylogeny for the regional flora comprising over 1400 woody species.

Morphological and molecular evidence are in agreement and Search Scope convincingly show that specimens of this newly recorded species can be confidently assigned to D. rosacea, previously known only All from four herbarium sheets from Madagascar. The new populations of this species in the Comoros significantly expand the extant area of occupancy of D. rosacea. Ecological preferences are also discussed, as populations of D. rosacea were found in greatly contrasting Search sub-humid habitats. This newly reported geographical disjunction between the Comoros and Madagascar strengthens the evidence for a biogeographic connection between the floras of these two regions.

Abstract: Indigenous trade of medicinal plants in South Africa is a multi-million-rand industry and is still highly relevant in terms of primary health care. The purpose of this study was to identify today’s most traded medicinal barks, traditionally and contemporaneously used for dermatological, gastrointestinal, and respiratory tract infections; then, to investigate the antimicrobial activity and toxicity of the respective extracts and interpret outcomes in light of pharmacokinetics. Thirty-one popularly traded medicinal barks were purchased from the Faraday and Kwa Mai-Mai markets in Citation: Khumalo, G.P.; Johannesburg, South Africa. Information on the medicinal uses of bark-based medicines in modern Sadgrove, N.J.; Van Vuuren, S.F.; commerce was recorded from randomly selected traders.
