Historical Setting of the Guianan Plant Heritage The Guianas are embedded high in the green shoulder of northern South America, an area once known as the "Wild Coast". They are the only non-Latin American countries in South America, and are situated just north of the Equator in a configuration with the Amazon River of Brazil to the south and the Orinoco River of Venezuela to the west. The three Guianas comprise, from west to east, the countries of Guyana (area: 83,000 square miles; capital: Georgetown), Surinam (area: 63, 037 square miles; capital: Paramaribo) and French Guiana (area: 34, 740 square miles; capital: Cayenne). Perhaps the earliest physical contact between Europeans and the present-day Guianas occurred in 1500 when the Spanish navigator Vincente Yanez Pinzon, after discovering the Amazon River, sailed northwest and entered the Oyapock River, which is now the eastern boundary of French Guiana.

  • CROWN of THORNS Euphorbia Milii Characteristics Culture Noteworthy
    CROWN OF THORNS Euphorbia milii Characteristics Type: Houseplant Water: Dry to medium Zone: 9 to 11 Maintenance: Medium Height: 3.00 to 6.00 feet Flower: Showy Spread: 1.50 to 3.00 feet Leaf: Evergreen Bloom Time: Seasonal bloomer Other: Thorns Bloom: Green subtended by red or yellow Tolerate: Rabbit, Deer, Drought, Dry Soil, bracts Air Pollution Sun: Full sun, part shade Culture Winter hardy to USDA Zones 9-11 where plants are best grown in dry to medium moisture, well-drained soils in full sun. Plants react poorly to temperatures that dip below 35 degrees F. in winter. Can be grown in pots outside and brought indoors in fall. Appreciates some midday shade in hot summer climates. Plants are tolerant of poor soils, including rocky-sandy ones. Plants are also tolerant of dry soils, but regular applications of moderate moisture may result in better bloom with less leaf drop. Wet soils, particularly in winter, can be fatal. Best located in areas with good air circulation. Indoor plants need bright light and are best grown with a gritty soil-based potting mix. Propagate from tip cuttings. Wear gloves when working with this plant. Sticky white latex sap is poisonous (avoid contact with skin, mouth or eyes). Noteworthy Characteristics Euphorbia milii, commonly called crown of thorns, is a woody, succulent shrub that features (a) fleshy, bright green leaves, (b) inconspicuous flowers in clusters subtended by very showy petal-like red or yellow bracts and (c) thick sharp black thorns (to 1/2" long) which cover its water-storing branches and stems.

BMR Phytomedicine, 4(1). 1-6 ABSTRACT An ornamental plant Euphorbia milii (Euphorbiaceae) is plays a role in folk medicine. The Chinese use it as a cure for cancer, and some Brazilians believe that it can cure warts. Phytochemical studies showed the presence of cardiac glycosides, steroids/phytosterols, anthocyanin, terpenoids, flavonoids and tannins.The Antimicrobial activity studies of hexane, ethyl acetate,chloform,petroleum ether,and water extracts of flowers of Euphorbia milii were performed on gram positive organisms(Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus megaterium,Staphylococcus aureus, Entrococci ) and gram negative organisms (Escherichia coli and Proteus vulgaris, Pusodomonas aeruginosa) by using cup plate method. The hexane extracts in the concentration of 5μg/ml, have shown considerable inhibition zone on as compared to other extracts.Bacillus subtlis and Bacillus megaterium have not show inhibition zone from solvent extract which was compared with the inhibition zone produced by standard amikacin sulphate (1μg/ml.).

  • Crown-Of-Thorns, Euphorbia Milii Ch. Des Moulins, Is a Tender Semi-Evergreen Which Is Widely Grown in South Florida
    Plant Pathology Circular No. 134 Fla. Dept. Agr. & Consumer Serv., September 1973 Division of Plant Industry Bacterial Leaf Spot of Crown-of-Thorns J. W. Miller Crown-of-thorns, Euphorbia milii Ch. des Moulins, is a tender semi-evergreen which is widely grown in South Florida. It flowers freely throughout the year but more abundantly during the winter. The leaves are sparse on this thorny plant, and the flowers are arranged in long-stalked clusters sur— rounded by red bracts. The plant is used in border plantings, in rock gar— dens and planter boxes, and as specimen plants (2). Bacterial leaf spot, caused by Xanthomonas poinsettiaecola Patel, was first found on crown-of-thorns in Florida in 1966 (1) and has become a common and serious disease. The disease is characterized by circular gray to brown leaf spots surrounded by distinct yellow halos. The infected leaves often turn yellow and fall off the plants (3). These leaf spots and sparse foliage make the plants unsightly and unsalable. Poinsettia (Euphorbia pulcherrima Willd.) and wild poinsettia (Euphorbia heterophylla L.) are also hosts and the disease may be transmitted readily from one to the other. The bacteria are spread by splashing rain or overhead irrigation and also by diseased cuttings. CONTROL. Disease control is best attained by using disease-free cuttings, removing diseased leaves or plants when they are found, and keeping the leaves as dry as possible. Agri-strep at 200 ppm streptomycin sulfate or Fig. 1. Xanthomonas poinsettiaecola on crown-of-thorns displaying brown leaf spots surrounded by irregular yellow halo.

T.1* and Odaibo, A. B. Parasitology Unit, Department of Zoology, University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria. Accepted 17 March, 2011 The molluscicidal effect of the ethanolic extract of the plant Hyptis suaveolens was evaluated against different stages: eggs, juveniles and adults of the freshwater snail Bulinus globosus. Ten healthy one week old juveniles were exposed to different concentrations of the extract for 3 h, while three to four weeks old snails and the adults were exposed for 24 h. The egg masses were exposed for seven days. The mortality rates varied with concentrations and time of exposure. The LC50 values for the eggs, of one week old juveniles, three to four week old immature snails and the adult snails were 0.614, 0.196, 0.161 and 0.077 ppm, respectively. The corresponding LC90 values were 0.796, 0.353, 0.274 and 0.467 ppm, respectively. The results showed that the egg stage of B. globosus was the most resistant to the ethanolic extract of H. suaveolens. Key words: Hyptis suaveolens, Bulinus globosus, mortality rate, LC50 and LC90.
