A Numerical Taxonomy of the Genus Rosularia (Dc.) Stapf from Pakistan and Kashmir
Pak. J. Bot., 44(1): 349-354, 2012. A NUMERICAL TAXONOMY OF THE GENUS ROSULARIA (DC.) STAPF FROM PAKISTAN AND KASHMIR GHULAM RASOOL SARWAR* AND MUHAMMAD QAISER Centre for Plant Conservation, University of Karachi, Karachi-75270, Pakistan Federal Urdu University of Arts, Science and Technology, Gulshan-e-Iqbal, Karachi, Pakistan Abstract Numerical analysis of the taxa belonging to the genus Rosularia (DC.) Stapf was carried out to find out their phenetic relationship. Data from different disciplines viz. general, pollen and seed morphology, chemistry and distribution pattern were used. As a result of cluster analysis two distinct groups are formed. Out of which one group consists of R. sedoides (Decne.) H. Ohba and R. alpestris A. Boriss. while other group comprises R. adenotricha (Wall. ex Edgew.) Jansson ssp. adenotricha , R. adenotricha ssp. chitralica, G.R. Sarwar, R. rosulata (Edgew.) H. Ohba and R. viguieri (Raym.-Hamet ex Frod.) G.R. Sarwar. Distribution maps of all the taxa, along with key to the taxa are also presented. Introduction studied the genus Rosularia and indicated that the genus is polyphyletic. Mayuzumi & Ohba (2004) analyzed the Rosularia is a small genus composed of 28 species, relationships within the genus Rosularia. According to distributed in arid or semiarid regions ranging from N. different workers Rosularia is polyphyletic. Africa to C. Asia through E. Mediterranean (Mabberley, There are no reports on numerical studies of 2008). Some of the taxa of Rosularia are in general Crassulaceae except the genus Sedum from Pakistan cultivation and several have great appeal due to their (Sarwar & Qaiser, 2011). The primary aim of this study is extraordinarily regular rosettes on the leaf colouring in to analyze diagnostic value of morphological characters in various seasons. -

Based on recent phylogenetic and morphological studies in Crassulaceae family, genus Prometheum was considered as independent genus. So far, two species viz. P. pilosum (under Sedum pilosum), and P. sempervivoides (under S. sempervivoides) has been reported from Iran. These two species and the new report are specific to mountains regions and they mostly occur at elevation above 2000 m.s.l. in the northwest of Iran (West and East Azerbaijan provinces). A short discussion on the taxonomic history of the genus Prometheum and the relative species, description, distribution, illustration, ecology and a key for existing three Iranian species is provided.

Generic Dividion of Sedoideae in Europe and the Adjacent Regions

( 1984): Gene ric rl ivision of sub f. Sedoidene in Europe and tl1c adjacent regions. - Prcslia, Praha, 56 : 29 - 45. Europe and the a djaeent parts of North Africa and \Vest Asia contain ea. 120 sp ecies of s u bf. Sedoidene. The genus Sedum L. is especially hct.Progeneous and is composed of several natural groups whose cvaluat,ion until now has been unsatisfactory. Some groups arc closely allied to othe r recently distinguis hed gflmwa, and it is necessary to treat them as separate genera . Therefore genera A izopsis GRULTCH, Asterosedum GRUL!CH, P etrosedum GrmLLCH and Oreosedum GRULICH arc- rl escribed. Regional Museum, 69215 i\1ikulov, Czechoslovakia The taxonomic classification of succulents is difficult, because the varia bility of most species is fairly large and the phenomenon of succulence often conditions convergencies. Several species (including many cultivars) are used in horticulture, which tends to co mplicate their taxonomy. All species of the family Orassulaceae are of succulent habit. The generic division of this family is most unclear, sinee extreme types have been classed as monotypic genera, e.g. Pagella ScHONL. Further taxa are natural, e.g. subf. Sempervivoideae, Hylotelephium 0HBA, Umbilicus DC. Many species, however, remain in two polymorphic genera Crassula L. and Sedum L. , each with numerous species, and whose differentiation from the other genera is not clear. Most of the "intermediate" types create difficulties, especially when using classic morphological methods based on their succulent parts. -

Linnaeus's Folly – Phylogeny, Evolution and Classification of Sedum
Messerschmid & al. • Phylogeny of Sedum and Sempervivoideae TAXON 69 (5) • October 2020: 892–926 SYSTEMATICS AND PHYLOGENY Linnaeus’s folly – phylogeny, evolution and classification of Sedum (Crassulaceae) and Crassulaceae subfamily Sempervivoideae Thibaud F.E. Messerschmid,1,2 Johannes T. Klein,3 Gudrun Kadereit2 & Joachim W. Kadereit1 1 Institut für Organismische und Molekulare Evolutionsbiologie, Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz, 55099 Mainz, Germany 2 Institut für Molekulare Physiologie, Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz, 55099 Mainz, Germany 3 Gothenburg Global Biodiversity Centre, Gothenburg, Sweden Address for correspondence: Thibaud Messerschmid, [email protected] DOI https://doi.org/10.1002/tax.12316 Abstract Sedum, containing approximately 470 species, is by far the largest genus of Crassulaceae. Three decades of molecular phy- logenetic work have provided evidence for the non-monophyly of Sedum and many more of the 30 genera of Crassulaceae subfam. Sempervivoideae. In this study, we present a broadly sampled and dated molecular phylogeny of Sempervivoideae including 80% of all infrageneric taxa described in Sedum as well as most other genera of the subfamily. We used sequences of one nuclear (ITS) and three plastid markers (matK, rps16, trnL-trnF). The five major lineages of Sempervivoideae (i.e., Telephium clade, Petrosedum clade, Sempervivum/Jovibarba, Aeonium clade, Leucosedum plus Acre clades) were resolved as successive sister to each other in the phylo- genetic analysis of the plastid markers, while in the ITS phylogeny the Petrosedum clade is the closest relative of the Aeonium clade. Our dating analysis of ITS suggests that Sempervivoideae diversified rapidly throughout the Paleocene and Eocene, possibly in the area of the former Tethys and Paratethys archipelago. -

A total of 23 vascular plant species surveys were carried out in three sites: one for each semester in Paul da Praia da Vitória (PPV) and Paul da Pedreira do Cabo da Praia (PPCP); one for each semester (except in 2014) in Paul do Belo Jardim (PBJ). The main objectives were to determine the plant richness of the three sites and to monitor yearly variation on species composition. -

In this work, the leaves of Umbelicus rupestris Nutritional value (Salisb.) Dandy, an edible species for which only scarce data is available in literature, were thoroughly evaluated Chemical characterization for its nutritional profile, chemical characterization and bioactive properties. Being considered a succulent plant, Phenolic compounds the leaves revealed a very high content of moisture, with several beneficial compounds, including omega-3 Bioactive properties polyunsaturated fatty acids, tocopherols and different polyphenols. A total of twelve flavonoids, three phenolic acids and one phenylpropanoid glucoside were identified in the decoction and/or hydroethanolic extracts, with most of them being described for the first time in this plant. Both extracts showed antioxidant activity and potential to inhibit some of the assayed bacteria, while not presenting cytotoxic effects on a non-tumour primary cell culture.
