It has been divided into four volumes: Africa, Asia, Europe and The Americas. The information compiled will encourage strategic partnerships in scientific research and business alliances. This volume presents an overview of qualitative and quantitative data on medicinal and aromatic plant resources, the status of their use in traditional systems of medicine and R&D activities in thirty-seven American countries. 4 Preface The Americas are the lands of the Western hemisphere or New World, consisting of the continents of North America and South America with their islands and regions. The Americas cover 8.3% of the Earth’s total surface area and contain about 14% of the human population. International and national trade in alternative medicine including herbal products is nearly USD 70 billion. The estimated global trade in medicinal and aromatic plants and their products wasUSD250 billion in 2000, and is expected to reach USD 5trillion by 2050 according to the World Bank report. China, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom, and United States of America are the important global market for MAPs. An enhanced global interest in the use of MAPs and the increasing demand of the raw materials by pharmaceutical, nutrition, cosmetic and perfumery industries have resulted in a vast and expanding market in the last two decades. Estimates suggest that, in the US and Europe, the trade has typically been growing at the average of 10% per year, driven by the popularity of MAPs based products and the increasing official recognition of the benefits of traditional medical systems involving herbal preparations. The American flora represents one of the world’s wealthiest sources of material with pharmacological activity. Historical records demonstrate that Americans have used several medicinal plant species for thousands of years. The Spanish and the Portuguese introduced several American plant species to other part of the world and, also transported them in great quantities to Europe. In spite of the very rich natural resources, the American countries have not used their rich biodiversity in a proper way to benefit their own development. Furthermore, because of the uncontrolled exploitation, most of the relevant areas of these countries biodiversity are being reduced rapidly, and important plant species are disappearing. Despite the many individual efforts of the governments to preserve the biodiversity for future generations, the traditional knowledge, especially that derived from traditional medicine is fast disappearing in the rural American communities. There are considerable differences in the kinds of policies and regulations that have been developed. Many countries have regulation and registrations systems for herbal medicines, yet a number of countries still developing similar laws, regulations or national policies on TM/CAM. However, the number of countries having expert groups, national research institutes and national offices is much higher, indicating such policies and regulations are being developed, or will be developed in the near future. The MAPs pharmaceutical industry is in the early stages in many of the Americas countries. Due to 5 lack of reliable information on the trade statistics, it is very difficult to estimate the American market of MAPs and their products. A number of international organization such as the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), The World Health Organization (WHO), the International Development Research Centre (IDRC), among others, have been addressing the issues concerning medicinal and aromatic plants through support for research, networking and coordination. Some American nations are now developing national policies on traditional medicines to cover quality and safety. Furthermore, many countries have also ceased collection from natural sources. However, despite these efforts, commercial exploitation, unsustainable use, cultural changes, and lack of the institutional support have threatened the existing MAPs resources and traditional knowledge. Also, in depth biodiversity studies have yet to be completed in many countries and coordination among the various institutes working on medicinal plants and traditional medicines is still lacking. These are necessary to sustainably exploit MAPs resources for commercial use. The International Centre for Science and High Technology (ICS-UNIDO) has prepared this Compendium of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants of the Americas to present the status of the medicinal and aromatic

They are native to Mexico, Central America, and northern South America. Guavas are now cultivated and naturalized throughout the tropics and subtropics in Africa, South Asia, Southeast Asia, the Caribbean, subtropical regions of North America, Hawaii, New Zealand, Australia and Spain. Guava 2 Types The most frequently eaten species, and the one often simply referred to as "the guava", is the Apple Guava (Psidium guajava).Wikipedia:Citation needed. Guavas are typical Myrtoideae, with tough dark leaves that are opposite, simple, elliptic to ovate and 5–15 centimetres (2.0–5.9 in) long. The flowers are white, with five petals and numerous stamens. The genera Accara and Feijoa (= Acca, Pineapple Guava) were formerly included in Psidium.Wikipedia:Citation needed Apple Guava (Psidium guajava) flower Common names The term "guava" appears to derive from Arawak guayabo "guava tree", via the Spanish guayaba. It has been adapted in many European and Asian languages, having a similar form. Another term for guavas is pera, derived from pear.

A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Botany at Massey University New Zealand Peter Ronald van Essen 1992 Olearia colensoi in flower. Reproduced from a lithograph by Walter Fitch in Flora Novae-Zelandiae (J.D. Hooker 1852). Source: Alexander Turnbull Library in New Zealand Heritage, Paul Hamlyn Ltd ABSTRACT The Olearia colensoi (leatherwood or tupari) dominated southern Ruahine sub-alpine scrub is the largest continuous area of sub-alpine asteraceous scrub in New Zealand - the result of a lowered treeline due to climatic conditions characterised by high cloud cover, high rainfall, and high winds and the absence of high altitude Nothofagus species. Meteorological investigation of seven sites in the southern Ruahine found that altitude alone was the main environmental detenninant of climatic variation, particularly temperature regime. Temperatures varied between sites at a lapse rate of 0.61°C lOOm-1 while daily fluctuation patterns were uniform for all sites. Rainfall increased with altitude over the Range-at a rate of 3.8mm m-1. Cloud interception, unrecorded by standard rain­ gauges, adds significantly to total 'rainfall'. Vegetative phenology of Olearia colensoi is highly seasonal and regular with an annual growth flush from mid November to January.

  • Lamiales – Synoptical Classification Vers
    Lamiales – Synoptical classification vers. 2.6.2 (in prog.) Updated: 12 April, 2016 A Synoptical Classification of the Lamiales Version 2.6.2 (This is a working document) Compiled by Richard Olmstead With the help of: D. Albach, P. Beardsley, D. Bedigian, B. Bremer, P. Cantino, J. Chau, J. L. Clark, B. Drew, P. Garnock- Jones, S. Grose (Heydler), R. Harley, H.-D. Ihlenfeldt, B. Li, L. Lohmann, S. Mathews, L. McDade, K. Müller, E. Norman, N. O’Leary, B. Oxelman, J. Reveal, R. Scotland, J. Smith, D. Tank, E. Tripp, S. Wagstaff, E. Wallander, A. Weber, A. Wolfe, A. Wortley, N. Young, M. Zjhra, and many others [estimated 25 families, 1041 genera, and ca. 21,878 species in Lamiales] The goal of this project is to produce a working infraordinal classification of the Lamiales to genus with information on distribution and species richness. All recognized taxa will be clades; adherence to Linnaean ranks is optional. Synonymy is very incomplete (comprehensive synonymy is not a goal of the project, but could be incorporated). Although I anticipate producing a publishable version of this classification at a future date, my near- term goal is to produce a web-accessible version, which will be available to the public and which will be updated regularly through input from systematists familiar with taxa within the Lamiales. For further information on the project and to provide information for future versions, please contact R. Olmstead via email at [email protected], or by regular mail at: Department of Biology, Box 355325, University of Washington, Seattle WA 98195, USA.
