  • Approved Conservation Advice for the Monsoon Vine Thickets on the Coastal Sand Dunes of Dampier Peninsula
    Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) Approved Conservation Advice for the Monsoon vine thickets on the coastal sand dunes of Dampier Peninsula 1. The Threatened Species Scientific Committee (the Committee) was established under the EPBC Act and has obligations to present advice to the Minister for Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (the Minister) in relation to the listing and conservation of threatened ecological communities, including under sections 189, 194N and 266B of the EPBC Act. 2. The Committee provided its advice on the Monsoon vine thickets on the coastal sand dunes of Dampier Peninsula ecological community to the Minister as a draft of this approved conservation advice. In 2013, the Minister accepted the Committee’s advice, adopting it as the approved conservation advice. 3. The Minister amended the list of threatened ecological communities under section 184 of the EPBC Act to include the Monsoon vine thickets on the coastal sand dunes of Dampier Peninsula ecological community in the endangered category. It is noted that the ecological community is also listed as the Monsoon vine thickets on the coastal sand dunes of Dampier Peninsula on the Western Australian list of threatened ecological communities endorsed by the Western Australia Minister for the Environment. 4. The nomination and a draft description for this ecological community were made available for expert and public comment for a minimum of 30 business days. The Committee and Minister had regard to all public and expert comment that was relevant to the consideration of the ecological community. 5. This approved conservation advice has been developed based on the best available information at the time it was approved; this includes scientific literature, advice from consultations, existing plans, records or management prescriptions for this ecological community.

Echiochilon, Ogastemma and Sericostoma are revised resulting in the recognition of 15 spe- cies of Echiochilon and one Ogastemma species. Several species are placed in synonymy and three new species are described, E. baricum, E. callianthum and E. cyananthum. The single species of Sericostoma is shown to be nested within Echiochilon. The plastid atpB gene was sequenced for Echiochilon and Ogastemma from the Old World and Antiphytum from the New World, plus for a selection of 33 other Boraginaceae taxa. They were analysed together with selected outgroup taxa to give a framework of the tribes of Boraginoi- deae. The analysis gave support for establishing the new tribe Echiochileae for Antiphytum, Echio- chilon and Ogastemma, and for merging the traditionally accepted tribe Eritrichieae with Cyno- glosseae. The ITS region was sequenced for all but one species of Echiochilon and for representa- tives of Antiphytum and Ogastemma. Phylogenetic analysis of Echiochilon revealed that the strongly zygomorphic-flowered species form a paraphyletic group. The morphological data gave results fairly congruent with the ITS phylogeny. Biogeographic interpretations of the ITS and atpB phylogenies indicated a trans-Atlantic dispersal of Antiphytum as the most plausible explanation to the Old/New World disjunction. Analyses using DIVA (Dispersal Vicariance Analysis) of the distributions of the Echiochilon spe- cies indicated an ancestor to Echiochilon with a wide distribution over northern Africa and Arabia to India.

  • Laurent Garcin, Mdfrs
    LAURENT GARCIN, M.D. F.R.S.: A FORGOTTEN SOURCE FOR N. L. BURMAN’S FLORA INDICA (1768) ALEXANDRA COOK1 Abstract. Laurent Garcin (ca. 1681–1751), a Dutch East India Company ship’s surgeon, Fellow of the Royal Society and correspond- ing member of the Académie royale des sciences (Paris), has largely vanished from the annals of botanical and medical science. Yet data presented in this article demonstrate that ca. 1740 he gave some or all of his plant collections from his Asian travels in the 1720s to J. Burman, a correspondent in Amsterdam. Those collections in turn greatly enriched Flora Indica by N. Burman (hereafter Burman fil.) to the tune of 98 specimens. Burman’s work is an important historical source for the botany not only of modern-day India, as the title suggests, but also of Sri Lanka, Indonesia and Iran—the “Indies” as they were understood in the eighteenth century. So far only a handful of Garcin’s specimens have come to light (G-Burman). These few extant specimens testify to Garcin’s collecting zeal and keen eye for materia medica. Keywords: Asia, Johannes Burman, Cinnamomum, Garcinia, materia medica, Salvadora Laurent Garcin (ca. 1681–1751),2 a Franco-Swiss botanist, of the Swiss Confederation) (Chambrier 1900: 251; Bridel Dutch East India Company (hereafter VOC) ship’s surgeon, 1831: 99).

The flora and vegetation of the Socotra Archipelago is of outstanding global significance. Over a third of its plant species are found nowhere else, ranking it amongst the top ten island groups in the world. Many of these endemics are remnants of ancient floras which long ago disappeared from the African-Arabian mainland. Others have evolved bizarre growth forms making the Socotran landscape one of the worlds most remarkable. What makes Socotra of even greater global significance is that unlike most other island groups its environment has remained virtually untouched by modern development. There is no evidence of recent extinctions and the vegetation appears unchanged since the island was first exvlored by botanists in 1980. 2. Situated where the Arabian Sea merges with the Indian Ocean, the marine communities of Socotra Archipelago demonstrate distinct biogeographic characteristics of the two major marine biogeographic zones.

  • The Phylogenetic Significance of Vestured Pits in Boraginaceae

Box 2437, 3001 Leuven, Belgium 2 Netherlands Centre for Biodiversity Naturalis (section NHN), Leiden University, P.O.Box 9514, 2300 RA Leiden, The Netherlands 3 Jodrell Laboratory, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, TW9 3DS, Richmond, Surrey, U.K. 4 Institute of Systematic Botany and Ecology, Ulm University, Albert-Einstein-Allee 11, 89081, Ulm, Germany Author for correspondence: David Rabaey, [email protected] Abstract The bordered pit structure in tracheary elements of 105 Boraginaceae species is studied using scanning electron microscopy to examine the systematic distribution of vestured pits. Forty-three species out of 16 genera show a uniform pres- ence of this feature throughout their secondary xylem. Most vestures are small, unbranched and associated with the outer pit aperture of bordered intervessel pits. The feature is likely to have originated independently in the distantly related subfamilies Boraginoideae (tribe Lithospermeae) and Ehretioideae. The distribution of vestures in Ehretia agrees with recent molecular phylogenies: (1) species with vestured pits characterise the Ehretia I group (incl. Rotula), and (2) species with non-vestured pits belong to the Ehretia II group (incl. Carmona). The occurrence of vestured pits in Hydrolea provides additional support for excluding this genus from Hydrophylloideae, since Hydrolea is the only species of this subfamily with vestured pits. Functional advantages of vestured pits promoting parallel evolution of this conservative feature are suggested.

  • Nondispersive Protein Bodies in Sieve Elements: a Survey and Review of Their Origin, Distribution and Taxonomic Significance
    IAWA Bulletin n.s., Vol. 12 (2),1991: 143-175 NONDISPERSIVE PROTEIN BODIES IN SIEVE ELEMENTS: A SURVEY AND REVIEW OF THEIR ORIGIN, DISTRIBUTION AND TAXONOMIC SIGNIFICANCE by H..Dietmar Behnke Zellenlehre, Universitat Heidelberg, 1m Neuenheimer Feld 230, D-69oo Heidelberg, Germany Summary Nondispersive protein bodies present in but has not been found in sieve elements of the sieve elements in addition to dispersive other plant classes. In the young nucleate P-protein are characteristic features of many sieve element, P-protein is first discernible woody dicotyledons; their origin may be nu­ with the light microscope as small accumula­ clear or cytoplasmic. While nuclear nondis­ tions named P-protein bodies (earlier: 'slime persive protein bodies are found in only two bodies'). While in most angiosperms these families, the Boraginaceae and Myristicaceae, bodies disperse during the differentiation of bodies of cytoplasmic origin are present in 39 the sieve elements, some taxa are known to of the more than 350 families screened. These retain nondispersive P-protein bodies (cf. results were obtained from 228 dicotyledons Cronshaw & Sabnis 1990). studied with the electron microscope and data As early as 1886 Fischer depicted "some­ of additional species from the literature. The thing in the shape of a small disk ... occur­ terminology, origin, form and distribution of ring in almost all active sieve tubes of Urtica nondispersive protein bodies are discussed. .. and by its reactions to be regarded as Their ultrastructural composition is described slime." He interpreted this body as a remnant as being predominantly spindle-shaped, com­ of the not completely dissolving nucleus, but pound-spherical, rod-shaped and rosette-like.
