Received: 19th May, 19; Revised and Accepted 30th May, 19; Available Online:25th Jun, 19 ABSTRACT Sesquiterpene lactone is a prominent phytoconstituent.It shows anticancer, antiplasmodial, antibacterial, antifungal,antiinflammatory, insect antifeedant, mollucicidal, leishmanicidal, trypanocidal,wound healing and hepatoprotective activities etc.In this review we focus on identify new area of plant families,plants body parts to detect presence of sesquiterpene lactones and rest of biological activities,which is not studied or less observed by researcher.The objectives of this work to explore existing information to pin point key findings which would helpful to reveal medicinal importance of sesquiterpene lactones. Keywords: Sesquiterpene lactones, Cytotoxic, Asteraceae, Germacranolide INTRODUCTION The reported and observed details about potential Sesquiterpene lactones (SLs)constitute a large group of the sesquiterpene lactones is presented in the following secondary metabolites, which are important constituents of paragraphs: essential oils. It is a class of terpanoid compounds. A large 1.Germacranolide number of sesquiterpenes are found in members of Germacranolide type sesquiterpene lactone showed Asteraceae1.Where they are characteristic constituents of activity against the fungus Candida albicans.The ethyle the family2. However, they have been reported from acetate extract was the most active, showing inhibitory several plant families, such as Acanthaceae, activity against five Gram positive (Bacillus subtilis, Amaranthaceae, Apiaceae, Magnoliaceae and others. Bacillus stearothermophilus, Bacillus polymyxa, Sesquiterpene lactones posses a wide range of biological Clostridium sporogenes, Streptococcus aureus) and two activities including plant growth regulating, insect Gram negative(Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae) antifeedant, antibacterial, cytotoxic, mollucicidal, bacterial strains4.[1]4,5-epoxy-6-hydroxy-1(10)E,11(13)- antispasmodic, antiprotozoal, antiphlogistic and germacranolide-12,8-olide,[2]Tatridin A or Tavulin,[3] antitumougenic properties3,4.

  • Generic and Subtribal Classification of American Vernonieae
    SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO BOTANY NUMBER 89 Generic and Subtribal Classification of American Vernonieae Harold Robinson Smithsonian Institution Press Washington, D.C. 1999 ABSTRACT Robinson, Harold. Generic and Subtribal Classification of American Vernonieae. Smithso- niun Contributions to Botany, number 89, 116 pages, 1999.-The Vernonieae in America is herein defined to exclude the Liabeae and Pseudostifftiu (Moquinieae), and to include elements sometimes placed in the Heliantheae (Trichospiru) or Lactuceae (Stokesiu). Pollen, style bases, raphids, inflorescence form, involucre, anther appendage, and chemistry are some characters used in the reclassification. Tables 1-12 indicate the distribution of these characteristics in most American genera. Vernoniu s.s., with type A pollen, is typified by K noveborucensis (L.) and occurs in the Bahamas, eastern North America, south to central Mexico and has two spe- cies in temperate South America. All other species previously placed in Vernoniu need to be removed from the genus, a process that is nearly complete for neotropical species. Most Amer- ican Vernonieae seem to form a single related subgroup in the tribe. Subtribes included in the related subgroup are the Lychnophorinae (x = 15, 17, 18) and Centratherinae (x = 16) with type A pollen and hroheliangolides; Piptocarphinae (x= 17) with type A pollen, deciduous inner involucre, and sometimes opposite leaves; Vernoniinae (x = 17), many with glanduliferous anther appendages (including the Lepiduplou complex mostly with echinolophate pollen); and the newly proposed subtribes Sipolisiinae with type A pollen, armed receptacles, and carbon- ized achenes; Chrestinae with echinolophate pollen; and Leiboldiinae (x= 19) with type A pol- len, large heads, and a modified callus at the top of the achene.

  • Notes on Certain Type Specimens of American Asteraceae in European Herbaria
    NOTES ON CERTAIN TYPE SPECIMENS OF AMERICAN ASTERACEAE IN EUROPEAN HERBARIA By S. F. BLAKE In the course of the writer's work at several of the larger European herbaria in the summer of 1925, special effort was made to determine the identity of various American species of Asteraceae which were imperfectly described by early authors and have since been unrecog- nized or misinterpreted. In this paper four generic names (Parastre- phia, PhUactisj Anaitis, and Aschenbornia) and about 115 specific names which have been misunderstood or regarded as doubtful since the time of their original publication are first given their rightful status as valid names or synonyms. A few identifications here in- cluded have already been published.1 The genera are arranged in the systematic order of the accepted names, the species alphabetically under the genera. Special attention was given to the investigation of the Heliantheae, particularly in the Prodromus Herbarium of the DeCandolles, now forming a unit in the Delessert Herbarium, Geneva, and in the Schultz Bipontinus Herbarium, which includes Sprengel's types and forms a part of the Cosson Herbarium at the Museum d'Histoire Naturelle at Paris. Schultz's herbarium includes, besides his own types and those of Sprengel, a wealth of fragments of types and authentic specimens from other authors, and the Prodromus Herba- rium is rich in authentic specimens of earlier writers in addition to De Candolle's own types. A rather hurried examination was made of all the Asteraceae of the Humboldt and Bonpland Herbarium at Paris, Notes, photographs, and in many cases small fragments of types or significant specimens were obtained of hundreds of species of American Asteraceae, of which those discussed in this paper represent only the comparatively small part in which some change of interpretation has been found necessary.

Phanerogamic flora and vegetation of Itacolomi State Park, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Biota Neotropica. 17(1): e20160236. http:// dx.doi.org/10.1590/1676-0611-BN-2016-0236 Abstract: Located in the municipalities of Ouro Preto and Mariana, in the Quadrilátero Ferrífero (QF) of Minas Gerais, the Itacolomi State Park (ISP) shelters more than 7,000 ha of remnants of Atlantic Forest and campos rupestres. The QF region has high biodiversity and is being highly impacted, mainly by mining activities. Aiming to organize the available floristic information and to support related research, this study presents the list of phanerogamic species of the ISP and the major vegetation types. This survey was carried out from October/1992 to July/2006, by monthly field trips. Besides authors´ personal collections, other records were assembled from herbarium databank.

  • Vertebrate Pollination in Compositae STAPFIA 103 (2015): 5–26
    VOGEL • Vertebrate Pollination in Compositae STAPFIA 103 (2015): 5–26 Vertebrate Pollination in Compositae: Floral Syndromes and Field Observations STEFAN VOGEL* Abstract: The plant family Asteraceae (Compositae) owes its enormous evolutionary success to the development of the capitulum, in which many florets are combined into a flower-like pseudanthium. Although the details vary enormously, the capitulum adheres to a pattern that does not promote assortative specialisation to pollinators. Most species have a wide pollinator spectrum that includes bees, flies, butterflies, beetles and bugs. Here, I present a survey of tropical and subtropical Compositae that exhibit the floral syndromes of ornithophily (> 60 species in 27 genera), chiropterophily (17 species in 9 genera) and therophily (2–4 species of the genus Oldenburgia). In c. 20 cases, bird-pollination is supported by relevant (although mostly casual) observations (literature data and personal observations). The ornithophilous syndrome was convergently achieved by similar means to those seen in other families, albeit limited by the Compositae bauplan. Eight subfamilies (of the 12 presently recognised in the Compositae) and 12 tribes are involved, of which the Neotropical Barnadesioideae, Stifftioideae and Mutisioideae are the most prominent. Around 70% of the ornithophilous species are trees or shrubs. With respect to habitat, higher altitudes with a temperate climate are clearly preferred. Pollination by bats and non-flying mammals is much rarer. Although at least 17 species can be predicted to be bat-pollinated based on their chiropterophilous floral syndrome, visits by bats have only been observed in a single species,Gongylolepis jauaensis. In the South African genus Oldenburgia, at least two (and possibly all four) species are probably pollinated by non-flying mammals.
